JoANA NINE,
Whose rich ore attracted so much at
tontion about three years ago II Is
separated from the Aultman ny "
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 feet of tunnels, drifts aaG omen
ings were made. The ledge was ssrip9ed
and exposed on the west end OF the mi
for distance of three hundred feet aich
showed the ledge to be very large. ono O.
the principal openings, the one leading -
what is known as the eafe, is req rec
through a tunnel sixty feet i'll length, az
which point cave was encountered and
the ore vein WAS also reached. From this
point an incline forty-fye feet IN depth
was sunk At the bottom of the incline
drift was driven one hundred and twenty
five feet to the east, and also another thlr-
ty-five feet to the north. Several crosse uts
were made ct different places, all OF which
are in ore of good grade. TO the west oil
The work in the cave are other extensive
works, in which large amount OF drifting
and sinking has been done and quantity
of good ore was exposed. A great many
tons OF ore were lHlllGu lIOul ILLS pOIllOu
Of the mine with fair results. From
statmont of facts regarding the Joanna
mine, prepared by the Hon. Thos 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-
ances Tor saving gold Were copper plates.
Less than one-half the gold was saved by
this mode OF working, as was shown by
MT a Of AnnTOXl-
mately seven dollars ton was saved by
this process, as shown by the returns by
Watson under oath to the assessor OF White
Pine county, for the. purpose OF taXatlon.
This would give, adding the gold lost in
the tailings an average OF fourteen dollars
q ton in the ore worked. The amount tax
en- out in the aggregafe was something
over fifteen thousand do'lGrs me exact
figures are ON record in the ONCE OF the
assessor Oh White Pine county," Some d1s-
lance further to the west there - q tunnel
one hundred end fifty feet IN length that
cross-euts the ledge. The whole length OF
the tunnel IS IN leage mater some tl1he
aro this tunnel was Sampled in sections by
an experienced sampler, the ayerage or the
different samples taken giving ~. 10 IN gold.
There have been various estimates OF me
amount of ore in sight 1t would pc dffl-
cu1t indeed for all estimates to be made
with any degree OF accuracy Some, now
ever, have shoRn more than fifteen thou-
sand tons of the average value OF $500 per
ton. The cold IS free bnt the ei2g anu
