A description of the mining properties
owned aud being operated By Messrs,
Welland, Turner, and Empy shows that
section to be a very promHing one. In
every one Of their locations there is a
fair showing of ore, and in the "Cloud"
Mine they have exposed about two feet
Of the prettiest looking rock in the coun-
try. In Wellands store there is table
loaded down with specimens that would
>prove cure for sore eyes. The ore is
principally block, and steel grained ga
lena and carbonates all of which are liv-
ened up in appearances by rich bright.

to the praticed miner The mines which
are in no formed mining district, lie
about six or seven miles northwesterly
from Pioche and about two miles due
north from the Mendha at Highland, : =
The three principle claims are the
"Cloud" "Silver King and Georgia;
all of which have had enough develop.
ment work done on them to show them
to be true fissure veins
On the "Cloud" there is a tunqelrunin
20 feet that cuts the ledge at a consider
able depth and shows the 6ssure to be
open, loose and easily mined From the
end of the tunnel winze is sunk in the
i-ore abont twenty feet, at the bottom Of
which they have crsss. .cutted little
over fifteen feet.
The ledge matter is fonr feet wide and
the ore as far as demonstrated shows a
uniform thickness of two feet.
An average assay showed 60 per cent
lead and 20 ounces in silver.
THE SILVER KING.
Which adjoins the Cloud on the north
has shaft sunk on the vein fifty seven
feet and at the bottom tunnel has been
run for twelve feet. In another place
ON the vein shaft was run down twelve
feet, and ia all places there is a fair
showings Of first class ore
The Georgia" has two lodges which
have been developed to the extent of
thirty three and thirty five feet by shafts
sunk on them. The ore is not so rich ia
lead and silver as that Of the Cloud
but gives promise Of carrying consider
able. amount of gold. The only test that
has yet been made for gold showed it to
contain eleven dollars. and specimen

to the hungry prospecior, Mr.. Empy
estimates that of first class ore there is
about twelve tons on the dump; but of u
lower grade material, say with an assay
value of ten per cent lead and fifteen to
twenty ounces silver, large portion of
the dump is made. Mr.. Empy left to,
day for the mines, intending to stay
right there and personally oversee the
getting out and sorting of the ore inten:
ded for shipment. !,

eeivea from this peculiarly styled loca-

often the case with those extremely rich
finds.
| Mr. Joe Cassidy was in town this
week from that place and not only
brought with him the good news but
also huge average samples of ore 10 bt
tested.
The rock was of free milling character
and assayed in silver respectively G7.

Quite number Of our citizons are be
coming excited over the present outlool
in that locality and general appearance,
indicates there is apt to be great rusl
