1T is the biggest gold mine 1 ever
saw in all my life"
Such is the verdict of Colonel S. B.
Miner regarding the Sacramento at
Mercur, which property was carefully
examined by the colonel a few days
ago.
4 had not seen the mine for some
time continued the colonel, and I
returned home most highly pleased
with my investment in it, and am sat
isfed that within the near future it will
make record for itself which will give
it rank as one of the greatest gold pro-
ducers in the state"
THE Sacramento is an immense
proposition" the colonel went on TO
say. and but few have any concep-
ton of its magnitude or of the extent
of the work that has been done in its
development. Why, something more
than three and half acres have been
opened up by drifts, levels, Slopes and
wines. and in this area there is an
acre that has been developed SO that
within its environments over 421, 900
tons of ore have been blocked out, SO
that it can be measured, and all of this
is good milling mineral, some of which
runs very high for milling ore. Put
ting the net value of this ore at 81 a
ton. and we have S421 600, which is
equal to 81 share for the capitalize
ton of the company; but, putting the
net profits at $3.50 per ton, and this
would be a very low estimate, indeed,
in my opinion. and we have 81, 052, 600
for the acre OF ore after mining, mill
ing and all other expenses are paid.
My measurements and figures I believe
you will find correct. For instance, my
surface measurements are 212 feet
in thickness. and taking is cubic feet
to the ton Of ore, which is on oVer-eS-
innate. and we have 421, 900 tons. and
this tonnage, at net profit of $3.50 per
ton, gives the total as stated above,
which is certainly an underestimate
of the value Of the mineral contents
of the acre alluded to; and then there
is a possibility and a strong probable
ity that a large area of the so acres
contained in the company's holdings
will produce equally or nearly as we'll;
in fact, the two and a half acres al
ready partially opened give promises of
coming nearly up TO this mark, to say
nothing of the large area of virgin
ground, a portion of which is as good
as prospected by developments in the
Mercur mine, adjoining, and in other
property in the immediate neighbor-
hood
The colonel also made an examina-
ton of the Geyser- Marion. which, he
stated, is looking exceedingly well. In
fact, marked improvements had been
made III the development of the prop
erty since his last visit there. large
bodies OF ore having been blocked out,
concerning which but little was known
six months ago. the showing being es-
pecially satisfactory in the lower tun-
nei, where the amount of ore in sight
is truly surprising, and the colonel is
of the opinion that the deposit is a
permanent one, and that as the work
ings are pushed further into the hill
the mineral zones will not only increase
in size but in value also.
The colonel is firm in the belief that
the camp Of Mercur. with its extern
sions, will Yet possess the proud dis
tinction of being the greatest gold pro-
ducing camp in the known world

ANOTHER GOLD DISCOVERY.
Rich Placers Found
Near Carson City.

4 special dispatch from Carson City
to the San Francisco Examiner con-
tains the information of d remarkable
gold discovery in Pine Nut district,
Nevada.
The dispatch says: Tomorrow an
nouncement viii be made of an i'm
portant discovery on the property of the
Heleza Mining company in Pine Nut,
about 20 miles from Carson City, and
supposed to be the richest placer mine
for its extent ever found on the coast
couple of years ago there was
great excitement in this district, but at
that time the search was for lodges
only, and little or no attention was
paid to place r; in fact, it was sup
posed there was no placer there. Yet
il has now been shown that there are
hundreds of acres where the gravel is
Of unknown depth. and which will go
from 81. so to 81 per yard or ton. When
ii is considered that some of the very
good placer mines of California and
elsewhere run only from to 50 cents
the richness of the new discoveries will
be apparent. This property was ac
quired at a public administrator sale,
something over a year ago, by a. Liv-
ingston. D. Gree. j. IS. Nierra and
Otto Schultz of Carson and T. n. Han
SEN Richard Raycraft. d. w. Virgin
il
formerly known as the Zirn mine, the
one which caused the excitement of
few years ago.
The property, now owned by the Hell
eza Placer Mining company, has been
prospected over an area of 200 acres
and TO q depth of over so feet, and
while some of the gravel will go as
high as Sc and IS per ton, it was found
by taking a load here and there to
average as above stated. The tests
were made as follows:
The first 30 yards. taken from as
many places on the claim, when
washed. yielded five ounces of fine
gold. worth in the neighborhood of
$40. 30 per ounce. The second test of
SO yards yielded five ounces eight
brahms. Last night. % yards, which
yielded but little less than six ounces,
were washed.
This gold is all very fine. but no dit
fcuty has been experienced in saving
it The further down the gravel is
taken The richer it is. and there is good
reason to believe that it extends near
ly 100 feet. There is a great quantity
of ii. and il has been inspected so thor
oUghly that a pretty safe estimate can
be made of the gold to be taken out.
and il easily reaches into the millions.
The entire range of mountains about
Pine Nut and Buckeye is rich with
placer mines probably as good as the
Heieza but inability to obtain water
has kept the country back. The water
is there but the right to it has been
owned bysa farmer who wanted a fah-
ulous price for his place, and that is
the reason the discovery on the Heleza

Horn Silver Prosperous-Showing In
the New Washington Mine.

Horn Silver osperous-Showing In
the New Washington Mine.
Dan Ferguson, the veteran mining
man. who has been holding down a
position as shift boss at the Horn
Silver mine at Frisco for the past five
months, and who has been in the city
for the last two or three days, ex-
poets to return to the mine today.
In speaking of this magnificent prop
erty. which has already distributed
over 100000 in dividends, Mr., Fergu-
son states that it is now shipping
more heavily than at any time since
he has been with the company the
past year. and that the ore is of good
grade, in which the gold contents are
quite an important feature.
In the operation of the mine, as
previously mentioned in these columns.
a deep working shaft has been sunk
during the past year. This shaft is
now down to the 1600-foot station,
from which level cross cut is being
driven for the ledge, the position of
which was long ago determined This
cross-cut is now in for nearly 200 feet
and it is believed that when the con-
nection is made a large area of virgin
ground will be opened, adding much
to the prOductiveness and life of the
property.
Mr.. Ferguson speaks most highly of
the new Washington mine, near the
Cupric, on the west side of Horn Sill
yer mountain. He has made an eX
animation Of this new applicant for
public distinction and says that from
all indications it is the making of an
other Horn Silver The shaft on this
ground is only down about 20 feet,
and yet at this depth, in the bottom
of the workings, there is n solid body
of ore from two and a half to three
feet in width which carries values in
gold. silver and lead ranging from $50
to $50 to the ton. and the formation
leads TO the belief that the deposit is
a permanent one and that the ore
zones will increase with depth.
The Washington is owned by the
holders of the Cupric, those who are
most heavily interested in this prom
Using and valuable prospect being Hon.
A. c. Washington, Hon. p. t Farms
worth. Phil Bentz and the Sharp
brothers.
When Mr.. Ferguson left Frisco,
nearly a carload of fine ore had been
taken out of the Washington, and it
is expected the initial shipment from
the mine will be made within a rea-
sonable time if the weather holds good.

CYCLE PATHS NOW IN SHAPE
CYCLISTS WILL HAVE AN AS
SORTMENT OF ROUTES

BY Sunday They Can Go to the City
Limits by Way of Martin, Dale
and University Over an Improved
Path-Cnn Reach the Indian
Mounds or Even Run Out to
White Bear Lake!
The contractors on cycle path work
have so far progressed with their work
that by Sunday cyclists will have a
very fair assortment of routes offered
to them for riding to various points
Of interest about the city, and which
could not be reached last year except
over the usual routes of commerce.
Next Sunday morning the bicyclist
can betake himself to the city limits by
way of Martin. Dale and University,
over a path that Is to some extent new;
or he can get out to Indian Mounds
park without humping himself into a
state Of epilepsy. He may even go as
far as White Bear lake without suffer
ing the inconvenience that confronted
him last summer.
Assistant Engineer Wilson said YES
terday that the Martin street path from
st. Peter to Dale would be in good
shape by tomorrow night, the work Of
building being completed. There are
about one and a quarter miles of this
path, and 1T connects with the path on
Dale to University, the path on the lat
ter being completed as far as Prior ave-
hue.
A half-mile of path has been complet-
ed on Hastings. from Plum to Earl
street, and this completes the gap
that was necessary to get to the Indian
mounds.
The completion of the path on Mary
land street from Arcade street to Jes-
sic, one block west of Edgerton, makes
a come etion with the sidewalk path on
Mississippi. The old White Bear path
has been put in a state of pretty COM
plete repair, and it is now good riding
all the way to the lake.
