NOTES..

Day K Marks stage to the Olinghouset
Canyon mines does a good business
daily.
f. A. Talbot was down from White
Horse this week and returned Thursday
with I. X. Stewart who will survey Mr..
Talbots coal mine.
Jack Sheehan OF Olnghouse, spent
day or two in Reno and reports the
brightest of prospects for that camp.
| He says that half the story OF the future
OF the Olinghouse mines has not been
told yet, in fact, it has only begun and
that il will continue unit. wealth will
crown the efforts of all concerned and
everybody will be made happy.-Reno
| Journal.
Mr.. w. R. Judson, mining engineer OF
| the land department OF the Central Pa
ciic Railroad Company, sent by the
Hon. VIM. FL. Mills to examine the
| Olinghouse mines, returned to San
| Francisco Thursday. Mr.. Judson has
spent week at the mines and ex-
presses himself as more than satisfied
that Olinghouse is more than surface
showing and advised the mine owners
to sink. He thanks the boys for many
| attentions shown him.
Sheriff w. Fl. McInnis returned Wed
nesday evening from few days visit to
the Hutchinson mine, at Olinghouse
! Canyon, says the Gazette. The Hutch
ison shaft is now down over fifty feet
and shows up better than heretofore.
Every bucket OF dirt taken out of the
Hutchinson thus far shows high
grade value in gold, and rich surface
prospects are being found on several parts
| OF the mine.
BY invitation of G. H. Wilbur, super
intendent of the Golden Eagle mining
company, reporter of the silver State
visited Central district ON Saturday and
was surprised to find such an extensively
| developed mine as The Golden Eagle
company have there. g. Nj Harvey,
fireman of the mine, kindly piloted US
all through the various tunnels, shafts,
drifts and upraises until it seemed as if
! we had travelled about a half mile, and
the entire distance the ledge was plainly
visible and fairly uniform. While We
did not measure it, We should judge that
the average width is between thirty and
thirty-six inches. The lowest depth is
nearly 800 feet and at that point the best
showing appears and the indications are
that depth OF 800 feet more will only
open up larger ledge. The mine is
entirely dry and will remain 30 to at
least depth OF 800 feet. Mr.. Wilbur
at the present time has seven men EN-
ployed taking out shipping ore. his pur-
pose being to ship about 100 tons of high
garde ore toSalt Lake. While but little
has been said in the public press about
the mine during the past year, it has
been steadily and systematically devel
oped by Mr.. Wilbur until ut the present
time we are free to say that we doubt II
Gold Creek, Olinghouse or any other
| district in the State has as good a show
ing for big mine as this property of the
| Golden Eagle company in Central dis
trict.
| Alta conservative estimate the ore in
| sight will measure over 10000 tons and
the average value over s25 per ton in
gold.-Silver State.
The R4no Gazette sayst ''sNewsof =
very encouraging nature continues to
come from Olinghouse Canyon and all
agree-experts and novices-that the
camp is certainly very promising on the
surface and in the bottom OF what shafts
have been sunk. The trouble with the
camp is that the men interested are all
poor and are looking for property that
will pay from the grass roots down with
no means at hand to work the rock.
The Reno Reduction works is the near
est plant to the properties. What is
needed 10 capital to develop the proper
ties and pot the camp on it's feet. Just
how soon capital will take interest
enough to take hand in development
work remains to be seen.
In the meantime the boys there are
struggling to do assessment work. The
Gazette knows of one man who has
twelve or fifteen claims located. and not
a dollar to do anything with. For the
good of the county and sll interested,
