the Mines of Our District.
Mining reports from Reveille, Nye
county, are very encouraging.
There are rs miners prospecting or
Maryland Mountain, Pinto District, 10 OF
whom are taking cut rich ore.
Messrs. Finn, Ferguson and Fox have a
lease OF the surface workings Of the Rescue
mine, and are taking out some very fine
ore. with a prospect for a plenty of it.
prospect on the Silver Nugget mine, Pinto
District, which they are working under
lease. They are taking out considerable
middle class, and some very rich ore.
Ed. Altweg has some very rich ore on
the dump Of the Bricktop mine, some Of
which shows we'll in horn silver. The
Bricktop series adjoin the Geddes & Ber-
trand mine, Secret Canyon District.
Jim Murray is leasing the Scorpion
mine, Secret Canyon, District. He has a
nice streak of quartz In one shaft, and on
another, a body of quartz, rich with
chloride and horn silver. L. promises to
develop finely.
Richard Bergman and Co. are asserting
the dump at the Irish Imbassinder mine,
Secret Canyon, and getting some very rich
ore. They are also running a tunnel to
tap the ledge at a depth Of $50 feet. The
tunnel is in 40 feet, and has 80 feet more
to run.
John Steel is making a shipment OF 60
sacks Of good ore from the old dump, AZ
the Diagonal mine, Pinto District. He 10
assisted by Charles Fisher, and will re-
sumo work shortly in q drift from the
main incline, % feet below the surface.
This is being run on a assure Of fair quality
OF ore.
Jim Nolan, who is as full OF energy ss an
egg is of meat, is running the Grand Re-
public Tunnel rapidly into Silverado
Mountain. 1t is now in 445 feet and the
breast in ore-bearing limerick. In q few
weeks, prosecuting will be commenced to
intersect the east and west ore veins, q
number of which appear in the groupings.
Harry Richard and Messrs. Ivey and Sons
have about seven tons OF second class ore
ready for shipment from the Rescue mine.
They have also some first class ore which
they are saving until sufficient shall have
been accumulated to make q shipment Of
this quality Of rock. The mine has been
pretty well exhausted in the upper levels.
and prospecting at greater depth will not
damage it.
Messrs. MeDermott, Looney and Potter
have taken q years lease of the Silver
Stone mine, Maryland Mountain, Pinto
District, and ON last Friday, after follow
ing a seam. encountered 3 vein of very
rich looking ore in the roof OF the drift.
At last accounts it was eight inches thick,
and improving with every stroke OF the
pick.
John Killen has q lease Of all OF that por-
ton Of the Queen mine, Pinto District,
above the 100 level. He is on the track Of
ore, and will probably have something
soon to repay him for his labor. The
lower levels Of the mine are being worked
by the owners, Messrs. Jones Brothers,
who have q small vein OF rich ore in the
bottom level, which looks as II it might
develop into a rich body, such as one OF
those for which the mine has been famous.
II. b. Mckee and Co. have struck a vein
OF enormously rich ore in the Endeavour
mine, Secret Canyon. Specimens Of which
will run az high as SIS, 900 per ton. These
have a plentiful sprinkling Of free gold
which can be seen in the rock without the
aid of a glass. This ore 10 also exceed
ingly rich in silver, and is very heavy
Tor Its Dulk. III Id 10 De regretted tDat tHe
vein Is very small but it may increase with
depth.
Messrs. Anderson and Dibber have been
prospecting the Western Globe mine for
the past two years, and have made several
shipments of rich ore from about the old
slopes to the furnaces in Eureka during
that time. The upper levels Of the mine
are so INSTRUCTED with waste that it has
become necessary to prospect at greater
depth, and they are 10Y sinking a winze
in virgin ground, with good chances for
striking a new ore body. If successful,
they will running a tunnel
from the nearest accessible point in Mary
land Mountain, q little above the Rescue
Canyon road. The sooner the work is
commenced the better it will be for the
owners, as there can be no doubt that it
will be the means OF discovering plenty OF
ore beneath the old slopes, the indications
of which are plentiful. Not only this.
there are also veins OF ore cropping out on
the surface which the tunnel would cross
cut and be the means OF exploring at a fair
mining depth.
