The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1897-07-10

Work is being done on the Gopher for
lnafion purposes.
The Norris & Proctor mill is in opera
ton and works satisfactorily so lar al
though improvements will be made.
On the Gold King a tunnel will be
started next week to cut a four foot
ledge OF ore that goes from IS to $40 on
the surface.
The force on the No. 2 will be doubled
Monday. 1t Is proposed TO SINK so feet
and croascut the full width Of the ledge,
about 81 feet.
The Chinese who tried placer mining
above McClanesburg found too much
water and will walt awhile before at
tempting it again.
John George is carrying AROUND Il
phial containing the result OF a pan OF
dirt taken from theaEneineer claim. The
gold is very coarse, looks good, and com
mands respectful attention everywhere.
There is plenty more of it.
r. II. Cowles says he has found sew
eral promising claims north of the Addie
G and the groupings go SIS in gold. He
expects to prospect them in the near iu-
ture. The district is extending and time
will prove that the mineral belt is long
and wide.
f. G. Norton, a Chicago mining ex-
pert, visited the camp this week and
was so pleased he wanted to bond and
do some work. He could not get the
the particular properties he wanted, the
conditions not being satisfactory. He
will return in about three weeks.
The Hutchinson claim continues 10
command much attention and causes
people to wonder. The shaft is down
55 feet and not a pound of waste dirt
has come out OF it. And nov at the
bottom OF the shaft the ore is richer
than ever as gold can be seen with the
naked eye, n condition that did not exist
before. The owners are very jublilant
and are beginning 10 feel that they have
a mine. There are some 30 tons OF ore
on the dump. 1t has been carefully
sampled by various people other than
the owners, u number Of mill tests have
been made, and the ore is Tree milling in
every sense. About 100 feet to the east
of the shaft gold is visible to the make !
eve in the groupings and the same con-
ditions prevail in the Groupings 40 fee,
to the vest OF the shaft. Sheriff Mcln-
mis- was here last week and took home
about % pounds OF specimen rock for
the cabinets of his friends. Besides
that he took 80 or so pounds OF crop
pings in which the gold was not visible,
a matter to which particular attention
was paid. The Reno Gazette says in
regard to it. "Sheriff McInnis brought
up fifty pounds OF groupings from the
Hutchinson mine in Olinghouse Can
Won. He had it sampled at the Reduc-
ton Works and one sack went 1888 and
the other $iO.66. He says there is mil
lions of tons OF rock just like it on the
surface in blocks of five hundred tons or
more There may o be millions OF
tons of it but there is = sufficiency there
to keep a big mill going for some years
and place the owners on easy street
for life. The extent Of the ore body is
not known but as the 4th OF July is
past and the boys have about recovered
from celebrating. the force will be
increased and efforts made to ascertain
how much OF the l40 feet in width is
milling ore and whether or not the
Hutchinson is a mine. The prospects
are very bright that the Hutchinson will
hold II place in the history Of mining in
Nevada. II the Hutchinson was 10 the
hands Of capitalists things would hum
in short order.
