At Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt Shaft: If anyone has
been discouraged with the business out
look of the country, such a one ought to
look in upon Vanderbilt. We do not
mean to convey the idea that there is
room for any more business houses here
for there isn't. But, if anyone has q
little money to invest, we know of no
way in which it could be more profitably
and safely invested than by purchasing
the whole or part of some of the num-
erous promising claims here, that are
held by the men who are without the
means with which to operate.
THE ST. GEORGE.
We are glad to be able to state that
operations have been again commenced
on the st. George, which has been
closed down since December l, 1893.
This mine is owned by Flood. Msckey &
Lyle, and ia one of the richest and best
developed mines in camp. The prop
erty has been bonded by ID. G. Schofield
of San Francisco, for about 1000. Mr..
Schofeld is the vice president of the
Nevada Southern, man of great bust
ness ability and energy, and has large
amount of capital behind him. The
property is considered safe invest.
ment at the alleged price, 800, 900, and
it is predicted that it will be most
profitable one at that figure. This
property consists of two claims, which
were located under the names of the
Gold Bari and the "Gold Bar West
Extension" They were both located
by Patton, Hall & King, the first ON
February %, 1891. and the second ON
March Is, 1891. King died little later
and joe Taggsrt bought in, and in the
summer OF 1891 the two claims were
sold to Flood, Mackey & Lyle, for
$40, 300. Since then considerable devel-
opment work has been done, the main
shaft being 300 feet deep, and drifts have
been run from it at different levels,
for considerable distance both east
and west. Two other shafts have also
been sunk. Jimmy Neill has been EN-.
ployed as foreman and has a crew of
men pumping out the water, after which
the mine will be thoroughly examined,
and the deal will probably be closed
Immediately.
MINING AND MILLING COMPANY.
The framework of the mill at the
Bronze lie all up and partly covered. The
mill arrived at Marvel on Monday, but
was not Immediately hauled over, &c
they were not quite ready for it. 1t IL
probable March lat will see the mill al
work.
At the lowest point reached in the
Bronze mine there is two-foot ledge
that averages over 500. That doesn't
look as if they were going TO quit, does
it? The wines and the double com.
psrtment shalt are now over so feet be-
low the lower level, 30 a drift is being
run to connect the wines with the
shaft, in order that the hosting NAV
be done by steam instead OF by windlass,
as is necessary, of course, in the wines.
Sinking will be- continued on the
wines and shaft. The ledge looks
better and better the farther down they
get.
OVER AT CAMPBELL'S.
There has been no letting up on the
mill, and Superintendent Rich thinks
that March 1st will see the mill at work,
The boilers. engine and battery are in
place and they are now awaiting the
arrival of the concentrstors and other
machinery ordered early in December
from Chicago.
At the Boomerang three shifts are at
work and ehaft No. 2 is being sunk
rapidly. For the first 10 feet from the
200-foot level it was rather slow work,
as the side of the shaft toward the
dump had to be timbered. But nothidg
is delaying rapid progress ct present.
The ledge is looking finely and
promises to grow better as. they get
down.
VANDERBILT NOTES.
Marris & Congdon have evidently
struck bonanza for themselves and for
the Mining and Milling company, on
whose property they have q lease.
Messrs. Marris q Congdon are now
down about % feet and have struck
new character of ore which will run very
high, probably $500. The ledge is
about 70 inches. There is not a more
promising prospect at present in camp,
We wish the gentlemen all the success
possible.
Craig & Gordon are doing exceedingly
we'll on their lease of the Webster. They
have good vein of high grade ore and
also considerable low grade.
