ANOTHER STRIKE IN CORYVlLLE.
THE NORTH STAR CONSOLIDATED
OPENS A FINE LEDGE.
Seven Feet Into the Vein and NO
wall-Average Assay. S22f 05-
The Permanently and Extent of
Mount Cory Mining District As

sured.
In its last issue the BULLETIN said
that news of another rich ore discov-
cry in some one of the many promis.
ing mining camps surrounding Haw-
thorne might be looked for at any
time. Even then the discovery had
been made, but was being kept quiet
until something of its extent could be
ascertained.
On the 22d of April the men at
work in the face of the tunnel on the
North Star Consolidated mine, at
Coryvlle, tapped a very fine looking
ledge They ran the tunnel four feet
into it with no signs Of wall, when
their powder gave out and they came
to town last Wednesday for another
supply, bringing news of the strike
and lot of fine specimens from it,
The ore was tied up in sack and was
shoveled up from the face of the tun-
just as it had been picked down. 1t
had been pretty well sorted over by
persons wanting rich pieces before the
reporter got a chance at it. In order
to get something near an average, he
took handful of the fine, pulverized
rock from the pile in the sack and
gave it to A. Hebberling, the assayer
The result of the ASSAY was: silver,
1922 50; gold, 81 50-total, 1924 05.
Mr. Hebberling says that the ore car
ries from 10 to 10 per cent lead and is
in all respects similar to that in the
Mount Cory mine. From the items
under "Coryville Concentrations" it
will be seen that since work was re-
sumed the tunnel has been extended
three feet further, a total of seven feet,
and is still in the vein.
The North Star Consolidated il
owned by lobe Crossman and the two
Ganong brothers, Charley and Cork,
and is situated about half mile north
west from the Mount Cory mine and
about the same distance west from the
town of Coryvlle. The ledge is thus
separate and distinct from that Of the
Monnt Cory and runs parallel with it.
The tunnel encountered the ledge in
about 145 feet, and between eighty and
ninety feet beneath the groupings.
There is an abundance of water and
fine timber on the ground and two or
three more splendid looking lodges
crop out on the surface.
A mine having ledge assaying
1924 and known be at least seven feet
wide at the comparatively small depth
of ninety feet, is generally considered
a very fine piece of property, OF
course no one can tell what it will
amount to above or below that depth;
but, if surface indications go for any
thing, enough ia known to settle the
fact beyond doubt that Mount Cory
Mining District is one of the richest
and most extensive in the country, and
if the realization does not more than
half come up to the expectations, Es-
meralda county will take rank in the
very near future as one Of the heaviest
bullion producers in the State.
Messrs. Forbes, Cardwell, Angel
and Soner, of Hawthorne, have a loca.
ton on the eastern extension of the
North Star Consolidated called the
Rising Sun. The ledge crops out
boldly on their claim. and they natur-
ally feel jubilant over the strike.
1t may not be out OF place here to
remind those who have been bowling
against the few men who have made a
success of railroading in this State that
had it not been for the far.seeing enter
prise of two or three Of the worst abused
men in this or any other country, the
present stage Of development reached
in the districts surrounding Hawthorne
would not have been possible for
years to come. A man who will DELHI.
erately go to the State Capitol and
make fight against the local
roads Of Nevada is one of Nevada's
worst enemies, and the class should
hereafter be frowned down.
