CRESCENT DISTRICT.
This new mining camp is situated
about 16 miles northeast OF Vanderbilt,
in Lincoln county, Nevada, and is now
attracting great deal of attention, and
there are now q number of prospectors
every day. The general character oi
the rock is gold, which runs very high.
One claim In the district, namely,
the Cornucopie, ia owned By W. A. Nc
Farlane and A. W. Spaulding, which is
very rich. An incline has been sunk
upon this property to depth of 35 feet,
in the bottom of which is three feet oi
very rich ore. Men are now employed
in erecting whip upon the property,
and the work of development will be
pushed as speedily ae possible.
About one mile and half south
of Crescent Wells are number oi
claims owned by Los Angeles capital
lists, and which were recently purchased
from Messrs. Dooley and Simmonds.
These mines are superintended by Mr.
A.. l.. Stevens, well-known mining
man from Colorado. He is about TO lei
contracts to sink shaft 100 feet deep in
the Wallace, 100 feet on the Free Gold
and 100 feet en- the Doeley.
Next we come TO the claim OF Richard
Nichols, called the Baby Ruth. Mr..
Nichols has run a tunnel into the hill
on this claim, and has topped the ledge,
the ore from which assays 3ls ounces in
gold, ounces in silver and 40 per cent
lead.
The next mine is that Of Mr.. Amar
who Is sinking a shaft on the Golden
Gate mine, but as yet he has not done
anything but Development work.
Henry Randolph has the southern ex'
tension OF the Free Gold mine, which
he calls the Paisano. Mr.. Randolph il
running tunnel in on this property.
East OF this group is the Mexican
claim, which ia understood to be very
rich. There is no work being done on
this property now, but the work will
again be resumed very shortly. Thii
claim has been worked every winter by
Mexicans in very primitive way, and
a considerable amount of gold has been
taken out and retorted right at the
mine.
Messrs. Sein and Hopkins have 9
group of 10 mines here. Although there
has not yet been much development o.
these mines they all show up good IL
gold, and work upon the same will soor
commence.
j. B. Gilbert has a number OF mineI
here and is now on the grounds arrang
ing to begin work upon the same.
