J. Eisenmann. the well-known mer-
shant and miner of Phoebe and De
Lamar, Nevada, was in the city yester-
day en- route to St Louis
Mr.. Eisenmann is quite enthusiastic
over the future outlook for DeLamar
and says that it promises to develop
into the greatest gold camp in the
west and he is confident that if Phoebe
and DeLanlar only had railroad faciii-
ties that these camps would make a
most wonderful record as wealth pro-
ducers.
At present Mr.. Eisenmann is superin-
tending the development of the noted
Magnolia. mine, the first gold discovery
made in what was then. called and
known as the Monkey Wrench district
This property was at one tins owned
by H. A. Cohen and the Ferguson
brothers, but is now the property of
Mr.. Edsenmann. and T. r. Jones of this
city. In the past the Magnolia has been
quite a prolific producer of rich
ore. but under bad management on the
part Of those who at one time had a
lease and bond on the mine it was
Quilted of its ore bodies without any
piOSINNSAilS WI n IdN lIlS DtOlf OoIlS.
Now, however. the property is being
developed in a thorough and scientific
manner and tunnel 500 feet in length
is being run to get under the old work
ings at a, depth Of 500 feet, and the in
dications are tina. when this is done
q fine body of ricis gold ore will be I'M
covered. The tunnel work is being
done under contract, and the contractor
is employing three shifts.
Mr ~, ic lcn
development work on the Flagstaff and
Sunbeam lodes.
The Flagstaff is located just south
of the DeLamar mines and SO far con-
siderable work has been done upon it;
but in its further development a long
tunnel is being driven this summer.
which work is also being done under
contracr.
In speaking of the April Fool, Mr..
Eisenmann says that its new mill is
working most satisf. ctorily. The mill
is now treating about TWEEN .y-fiVe tons
of 500 ore per day. Fifty per cent Of
the value Of this ore is saved in the
battery, while 4s Per cent is saved by
teaching. thus saving 95 per cent of the
full value
This. for a new plant. is a most ex-
cellent showing and the April Fool
owners feel elated over the prospects.
The DeLamars new mill. according
20 MI Eisenmann. is now treating 300
tons of ore daily that averages about
$50 and over to the ton, thus making
an output every twenty-four hours of
5000 This is a showing that anyone
could well feel proud of. and is an il
lUstration OF what enterprise. good
Judgment and money can accomplish.
Five years ago the spot where De-
Lamar now stands was a wilderness.
Within this short period a, wonderful.
change has taken place, and of the
mines since opened up there, one Of
them alone can boast of an output
valued at 900 a month, or Sc. $50, 600
a, year. This min'a,' says Mr.. Eisen-
mann, sis wonder. Experts are now
examining the property, and It is such
a tempting one that ] should not be
surprised if the sale now pending was
not finally consummated.'
THE LINE DISTRICT.
Mr.. Eisenmann says that just now
there is d great deal OF excitement
over the new gold fields in the new
Line district in western Iron county,
3 I'd a great many people are now
focking TO the new gold fields
The discovery of gold was made
along the grade of the old stage road.
and one of the best of them was found
in an old corral that had been fenced
for several years. The ledge is a true
vein with clay seam following the
footwall, while the ore is peculiar look
ing rock that could hardly be taken for
rich gold rock but it carries from $50
10 $3.50 in the yellow metal to the ton,
however and experienced mining men
who have examined the camp claim
that the deposit is a permanent one,
and that the new district gives promise
of developing into a prolific and rich
producer
The Ophir silver mine, owned by
Lynch and Clark. made a shipment of
high grade ore last week, and now
Prudential and Turner who have a
lease on the Utah Spur. expect to make
a carload shipment of ore this week
that will carry over 200 ounces in sill
yer to the ton besides going high in
gold
What we need at Pioche,', says Mr..
Eisenmann, SIS railroad facilities. for
in the neighborhood of this old canu
there are thousands CT tons of ore that
viii assay SO ounces in silver, and from
is to 20 per cent. lead, with a very
heavy lime and iron gangue. which
makes it very desirable for f1uxng pur.
poses. This ore could be shipped at a
profit with railroad, but now it can
not be touched"
