A Prosperous Outlook for Develop,
ments This Spring.

AIAcutD III spring.
A SENTINEL representative had a very in
teresting chat yesterday with Dick Berry
man in regard to the mines out in Silver
ado District. Mr.. Bergman has been q
miner for the last thirty years, and has
followed mining as his regular business
with continuous success. He has leased
several mines during his operations in this
neighborhood, and has never failed to work
them probably. He is now, with his
brother J. Bergman and Others interested
with them, working on several mines in
Silverado District, about IA miles from
| Eureka. In the Silver Nugget, which the
Bergman brothers sub-let to Rudine and
| johnson, the latter have been taking out
ore from which they have realized S13
each, average per day, since the LIST OF last
August. Their sub-lease extends to Aug.
/ Of this year. The ore in the Silver Mug
| get averages 500 per ton, that is, the ore
taken out by Rudine and Johnson, OF
which they ship monthly to the Eureka
Con. works for reduction nine tons. 1t is
generally yellow chlorides, mixed with car
Donates and showing occasional streaks OF
black metal. The 500 ore carries 40 per
cent lead. In March, 1882. the Bergman
brothers shipped II tons of ore from the
Silver Nugget which nettsG them, after
paying all expenses of mining. freight to
Eureka and cost OF reduction, Sl,44l.
The Berrymans are working the Diago-
nal, but at present are engaged in getting
| rid Of some unavoidable dead work. Their
lease OF this mine has also paid them hand
somely.
The Dibber boys and Anderson Are work
ing the Western Globe and are doing well.
They have a fine body OF ore and are maxi
| ing pay shipments. Their ore runs up as
high as $500 per ton, and carries 40 per
cent of lead.
The Jones brothers have a lease Of the
Queen mine, which is regarded as a fine
property. 1t pays the workers in 1T well.
They have a good vein 260 feet down, but
they have made no shipments recently, as
they have been absent doing assessment
work on other mines.
Tho Resoue mine, situated between the
Queen and the Western Globe. both good
| ore producers, ia held under lease by the
Bergman brothers. IheJ nave made a
| good thing out OF this claiM also. From
what we can learn from Dick bergman.
| and Judging from what others tell us
| who have inspected the Rescue mine, 1t is
a very fne prospect, and would warrant q
| liberal expenditure OF money for its sys-
| tematic development.
There are other good properties In ths
| Silverado District too numerous to men
| ton. Besides the high grade ore in them,
| going from S1O0 to $500 per ton, there is
a vast quantity of ore which goes from
| $40 to $50 per ton. This second class ore
is thrown one side now as valueless. be-
cause it will not pay to ship to Eureka for
reduction. This ore is OF a different char
acter from the first grade ore carrying
but a small per cent of lead, in some
instances only a trace OF galens. Were
there a mill at Pinto. to which point II Is
only six miles from the mine, down hill.
this inferior ore could be hauled there
ana worked with considerable profit. We
| should moi have said. were thefe d uaiil
81 Pinto" for there IL a sV.starap miil
thoye now Ia perfect order. The chances
are that Mr.. Potter, the agent OF the
| British Mill and Mining Company, whose
property the mill is, will make the neces-
sary arrangements to start the mill up in
| the Spring for reducing the low grade free
ore of the Silverado mines in tribute.
The project is a catering one for the mill
property, and would mako Silverado at
once one of the thriftiest camps in Nevada.
This would be the immediate result, with
the possibilities Of Developments, the ex.
tent Of which is indefinite.
