Lake Mining Journal. While repub-
fishing Mr.. Bassett's letters, we would
not have it understood that we indorse
those parts of his extravagant rhetoric
used in painting prospect holes as
mines that are good for several hun
dred ounces of silver to the ton. The
truth is, there are no such mines that
we know of in the section Mr.. Bassett
writes about. The truth is-and the
truth needs no embelishment-that
the silver ores of the various camps in
Eastern Nevada range from $50 to $50
Assays, of course, often run much
higher, as they frequently so lower,
but the figures we give are fair aver
age. What is the use in proclaiming
abroad that such and such man has
a mine of 5000 or $500 ore, when not
ion of tever reaches market, where it
would surely find its way if it could be
mined 10 any quantity. Writers to
mining papers are prone to the ex-
travagance INDUCED in by Mr. Bassett.
They sound the trembel of high as
saws and are mute as the Sphinx about
the low ones. This style Of hyperbole
of course deceives no one, for every
body knows that man who owns d
mine that produces 200 or 30O-ounce
ore will work it at a handsome profit
and ask no favors of capitalists. The
style of writing we criticize may be
harmless, but, We believe, not near SO
effective In producing the desired
end-aitracting mining men--as if
written in less rose-colored hues. But
to Mr. Bassett's letter:
Active and thorough assessment
work is going on all over the country
and we hear of new developments
everywhere. At this camp all the
mines are showing up well, proving
that all the mines need is good hon
est development TO make 1t one OF the
best producers in the West.
Farmer Burke of Schellbonrne has
made new strike in that once ia
nous camp; the ore goes 300 ounces
silver aud $50 in gold. hear experts
are now examing the property for Il
sale There is some very rich ore in
in this camp.
Mining supplies Of all kinds, hay,
grain, etc, are being put into Glen
coe by rippett, Young Il Co.. prepar-
tory for winter work. The eompany
have some very tine properties ana
by thorough work will prove to be
high mines both in quality and
quantity.
George Bishop and Sons have made
some excellent finds in the Deep Cree k
range, between Willow Creek and
Trout Creek, In Granite canyon. The
ore is dry, high grade, and | think
the sample that | saw would 90 up in
/ the hundreds.
Josiah Smith, the large cattle raiser,
is also interested in some fine prop
erty in the same locality.
Foster and Rynerson have made a
fine discovery at the head of Dead
Mans canyon in the Snake Creek
range, about 10 miles north of 0sce-
ola. They have uncovered for the
first time four.foot vein of solid
palena, which is delight to the eye
of any miner and will bring money
to the purses of the lucky owners.
Parties have looked for this mine be-
fore; the Indians leading some pros
pectors to this mine several years ago,
killed one of the prospectors, and this
killing was the cause of an outbreak
which ended in the murderer being
hung, SO you see there is little ro-
nance connected with this bonanza.
Good reports continue to come from
all the camps-Cherry Creek, Robin
son, Deep Creek, 0sceola and others.
think this country is good place,
for its natural facilities are OF the
very best. Start q railroad this way
and we will show up a country sec
ond to none in the mineral kingdom.
We must have cheap transportation,
and we will pay good big interest
to the company that furnishes 1t.
