The Sweetwater Mining Company,
a New York incorporation, of which
Chas. w. Havemeyer is President, E.
n. Robinson, Managing Direc or, AMI
ST. Paul, Superintendent, has recent
ly purchased some valuable mining
property In " hlte p. ne District. The
company ~as first organized in 1873,
with tile Badly Sour and Sweetwater
mines, on which considerable work
ha> been done from time to time.
About the first Il August Last Mr..
Robin on arrived in Hamilton, and
set about In earnest to secure addition
al mines for his company. In this he
was successful, and nov the company
has secured by purchase some Of the
mot valuab. q mines In the district,
viz: Ttie Original Hidden Treasure.
Mammoth, and a two-thIrds Interest
in the Stafford-all on Treasure Hill;
also the Tfuckee (now Rrscue) thine
below town. Mr. Robinson has also
purchased for his company the
Smokey Mill Uelow Hamilton, when

Hidden Treasure, Stafford AMI the
Rescue mines, and is tax ing out rich
ore from all OF them. lie is also put
ting the mill in order and expects to
start crushing ore by the middle of
October. A correspondent writes us
that the outlook at all points where
work Is progressing Is most satisfac-
tory.
The pest history of n number Of the
Sweetwater Company's mines is such
rs To in ,pire hope in their future de-
velopment. The Hid ie, Treasure is
one of the oldest locations nn Treasure
Hill, and the mine has yelled over
81 .50O 900, in tine early days, level
reactIing "A greater depth than 200 feet.
The VIM ler tunnel Is now IN 800 I et
AMI 800 feet more will zap this milne
at a depth OF 300 feet, and no doubt
prove lis great merits beyond u ques
tiou.
The Stafford mine, which prior to
purchase, had been The property OF
Tim Shine, >. +. Paul aud John Flynn,
has been worked TO a depth OF 10 fee
and produced about $3.50, 200. The
ore M the mine ~ " hat ~ considered
low grade-ei0 10 $50 ore-and would
moi pas the owners, who we're poor
men, to ship 1t TO Eureka. Buttoany

ore of that grade. Tue Mammoth also
is sand To contain vast quantities OF
$50 aud $40 ore-all free milling.
Tine Truckee, or Rescue mine, an
other of the Company's series, Is an
ord location, which has passed
through many vicissitudes, litigation,
etc, been abandoned, but finally re-.
located by Col. Coulter and Mr.. Flow
ers. Its title Is now perfect, and re
cent developments show it TO he one
OF the most promising mines in East
ern Nevada. Assays from this mine,
at only n few feet from the surface.
give astonishing results, the assays
running from 500 TO $500 per ton.
There is no question but the Sweet
water Company is now in possession
OF n series OF the most valuable mines
in White Pine District heir mill
Ing property-thoush 1t may require
considerable overhauling-is also
very valuable, having excellent water
privileges, and being centrally locateo
betw the mines on Treasure HUI
and the Rescue.
We shall watch with interest its ~
ture progress, and hope ere long To be

eratiuns. w know that the latens
To make a tirst-elass mining
camp exists in White Pine and that
enterprise and capital are all that -
required To bring 1t out. May the
Sweetwater Com pany reap a rich har-
We I for their pluck and energy, isthe
sincere wish of all old White Piners
