MAX soHR's ANTHONY MINES.
Is Rapidly Acquiring Big String of
Nevada 3onanzas.


Max Sohr has returned from Mills
City and Battle Mountain, New, where,
not far from either place. he has sue
ceeded in tying up string OF prospect
i've bonanzas. and il is expected that
before the summer is over ne VIII make
a stir in that region which viii attract
the attention OF mining men from all
over the west.
In the first place, Mr.. Sohr has been
directing his efforts to the production of
antinonial ore. and in this he has been
enlinently successful, and in the near
future he expects to be able TO supply
the eastern market with this mineral,
while even now, although the roads are
IN terrible shape, he is obliged to ship
TO fill contracts made with his COM
pany the Higbie-Russel company Of
Chicago. of which he is the western
manager. and in order TO fulfill his OBJ
LEGATIONS in this direction a telegram
was sent yesterday to the superintend-
ent of the anthony mines with instruc-
lions to put two siX-hOrse teams on the
road, and to ship two carloads of ore
at once, a large portion of which goes
10 Professor Brice, of gold transmuta-
ton fame. whose establishment has
been closed down Of late on account of
the scarcity Of anthony, which is the
basis of his operations. and in this con-
nection Mr. Sohr states that Professor
Brice is good pay, and that he is evil
IDENTIFY making a success in the man
ufacture Of gold from anthony.
In Speak king of his mining operations
near Mills City and Battle Mountain,
Mr. Sohr states that he has just made
q new discovery near Battle Mountain.
consisting of q two and a half-fOot
BODY of ore, which carries average val
ues Of 50 per cent anthony, on which
he is working a force Of four men,
T-r- Il
section he has a combined force of 10
miners, and at the present time he is
able to take out about 20 tons of ore
daily. while in one large dump there
are zoe tons of mineral which will
carry values of from % to 80 per cent
antimOny, and in marketing this core
Mr. Sohr is of the opinion that with
fair weather and good roads it viii
cost him s. a ton to mine ii and get on
board the cars at the railroad.
During his stay IN Nevada Mr.. SOhr
has taken a number of bonds and
leases on properties in the vicinity of
Mills City and Battle Mountain. among
the number being a bond for five years
on the Star anthony mine and mill in
Star canyon, It being the intention to
start the mill I'D as soon as ii is re-
modelled. The Mammoth, also in Star
canyon, is another proposition on which
a bond and lease has been taken, and
Mr.. Sohr states that in this mine the
vein has been exposed by cr0ss-cuts to
the extent Of 125 feet showing mag
nificent body of mineral, the first-class
Gre giving values OF u per cent lead,
191 ounces silver and 81 in gold to the
ton, while the low grade goes so per
cent lead, % to 30 ounces silver and Sc
to IS in gold, and in the summer it is
the intention to run the Star mill on
this second-class mineral.
Included IN the list is also nickel
and copper proposition, in which there
is q fine body of ore which runs way up
in these metals. but with all these prop
ositfons corralled, Mr. Sohr he's nor
overlooked the king Of minerals and
reports that he has bond and lease on
