| Concerning the mica mines of that county
the Elko Independent of Thursday says:
''Our attention being attracted by some fine
specimens of mica ore on exhibition at the ex-
press office, yesterday, we were lead to the
inquiry as to the mines producing the mineral,
the parties owning them, etc, and learned
that they were the same of which mention
was made in these columns, some time ago.
Further particulars respecting them were
then furnished US, as follows These mines
embrace a series of locations, the principal
work having been done on one known as the
''Great Republic" and are situated in the
Ruby range Of mountains % miles south east
of Elko, at an elevation of 5000 feet above the
sea level The LEDGE which is from three to
eight feet wide, is of pure feldspar, in which
the blocks of mica are imbedded, and the
walls enclosing the same are of dark colored
granite The hills surrounding the mines
are covered with heavy growth of pine tim
ber-a desderatum in this sparsely timbered
country-and the purest of water, is in album
dance on every hand. The names of the gem
tlemen forming the company who own, and
are carrying on the present operations, are
Simon Peake, Felix G. Herbert, H. NJ
Grant and J. r. Tompkins A shipment of
mica in blocks, ready cut into squares, was
shipped to-day by the company, to a firm in
New York which deals in this mineral This
is the first shipment from these mines, and it
is held to be a good merchantable article If
on its arrival in the east it shall prove of
satisfactory quality, these gentlemen have
fortune in sight, and this country will have
secured a brand new industry That their
highest expectations may be fully realized, is
our ardent wish
