man on the north is the
Joanna MINE,
Whose rich ore attracted so much at
tention about three years ago. 1t IS
separated from the Aultman by a
small porphyry dyke. The late A.
r. Watson was the original locator,
and through his energy the mine was
opened and developed. While Mr..
Watson operated the mine about fifteen
hundred leet Of tunnels, drifts and open
| ings were made. The ledge was stripped
| aud exposed on the west ehd OF the niue
| for distance OF three hundred feet which
showed the ledge to be very large. one OF
| the principal OPENINGS the one Leading to
what IS known as the cave, is reached
| through q tunnel sixty feet in length, at
which point cave was encountered ana
| The ore vein was also reAched From this
point an incline forty-tive feet in depth
| was sunk At the bottom OF the incline q
| drift was driven one hundred ana twenty
| five feet TO the east, ana also another tnlr-
! ty-fye feet to the north. Several cross-' uts
| were made at different places, all OF which
are in ore of good grade TO the west OF
| the work in the cave are other extensive
| works in which Il large amount OF drifting
and sinking has been done and quantity
| OF good ore was exposed. A great many
| tons OF ore were mllled from this portion
! of the mine with fair results. From
| statment of facts regarding the Joanna
mine, prepared by the Hon Ihos Wren OF
| Eureka. Nevada, the following quotation
| is made "The ore was reduced at small
! ten stamp water mill at the town OF Ely,
| about three miles from the mine. The mill
IS poorly constructed and the only appli-
| apces for saving gold were copper plates.
Less than one-half the gold was saved by
| this mode of working, as was shown by
| constant ASSAYS Of the tall1ngs. Appr0Xl-
| mately seven dollars ton was saved by
| thig process, IS shown by the returns bV
| Watson under oath TO the assessor OF White
| Pine county, for The purpose OF taxation.
| This would give, adding the gold lost IN
! the tailipgS an average OF fourteen collars
9 ton in the ore worked Inc amount YAK
en- out in the aggregate was something
over fifteen thousand dollars. The exact
figures are on record in the Office OF the
assessor Of White Pine county" some dis,
lance further to the west there Is q tunnel
one hundred and fifty feet in length that
cross-cuts the ledge. The whole length OF
the tunnel is in ledge matter. Some Tune
ago this tunnel was sampled in sections by

different samples taken giving Sf15 in goId
There have been various estimates Of the
amount of ore in sieht. It would be dlil-
cult indeed for all estimates to be mace
with any degree OF accuracy. some, now
ever, have shown more than fifteen thou
