f1ENTION OF THE MINES.
"oaf the Weeks Work Has Developed In the
Properties Of theDistrict.


John Larsen has finished assessment
work on his claims below Lizzard Lake
on Daniels hill. He has completed the
work Oh the Stockholm this week.
A shipment of ore was made via the
Buttes this week from VIM. Boucher's
Youngville on the east slope of CRYSTAL
Mountain and some concentrates OF ore
from the same property.
Judge Bardine and Geo. H. Rummel
have claim up near the head of Yule
creek which they consider a promising
prospect. 1t is called the Sunbeam and
has some good lead copper ore in sight in
their workings.
Harry Cloud, who sold the Carbonate
few months ago is in the district again
and figuring upon the purchase OF other
mining property we understand. Cloud
had synecure in the early days OF this
district, and knows it is all right.
new milling proposition OF consider
able Importance is being figured upon,
which if it goes through will give the
district good large mill of ample capa-
city to handle the product of one of the
big milling prospects of the camp.
The water has been taken out of the
Graham and before mining work can
begin some method OF ventilation will
have to be put in and, orde J from the
owners are expected daily. Theprospect
is good one. but the depth is such that
the air is bad.
1t is rather encouraging to note that a
number of properties about Gothic and
Elko are making arrangements to work
through the winter steadily. This will
probably mean that more people are to
remain in those camps than for a num-
Der Of years.
II. G. Ingersoll put on men the first of
the week taking out ore for test ship
ment from the Harper property on Ga
lena Mountain. Mr.. Ingersoll is quite
favorably impressed with the prospect
and il it proves the value he anticipates
will do considerable work.
1t is rumored that the Carbonate is to
be equipped with plant Of machinery
for deep mining and sinking on the ore
will be carried to considerable depth.
As it would require long tunnel to cut
the property 1t is probably deemed wise
to explore to greater depth before
driving tunnel.
Next week Oliver Thomas will begin
hauling down one hundred tons OF ore
from CrystAl Basin for shipment to the
valley smelters. This will be the largest
single shipment made by any one pros
pect this season. Some other prospects
have quantities Of ore taken out during
the season, which will be sent out during
the next thirty days.
Today the fourth car of ore from the
Caledon and Atlantis in Silver Basin was
closed for shipment. The ore is hauled
to the Smith Anthracite and there loaded
on cars. The ore Is silver-lead and goes
to the Puebls smelter. Messrs Ogden
and Scott are doubtless more than salts
fed With the property, and it certainly
bears promise Of soon making mine.
Last week James Mageee sold his in
terest in the Steve Day lease to the AttiI
company, who have been his partners and
have been carrying forward the work in
the properties. The company is making
toward the erection of a mill
for the concentration OF their low grade
product. They are also arranging to
have ample storage room for ore and con-
csutrates taken out during the time In
IN h ich ahiprn an ts cannot we'll be made.
