THE MINES
A Tonopah Within the County.
More Rich Rock From Glib
BriQ0s' Mine

1
Yesterday the local mining sharps
had their heads turned when Dick
Hesse arrived from the Quill copper
mine with a sack full of copper ore
that resembles the red metal in it's
native state. He brings down word
that the ledge that the boys have been
following into the hill has developed
into an eighteen foot ledge of peacock
ore. The specimens that he showed
were simply alive with metal and the
assays show over $40 in gold. This
has yet been made in the county. The
ledge is we'll defined, and has widened
as depth has been attained. The de-
post now in sight is sufficient to make
comfortable fortune for those inter-
ested, and should it hold out another |
twenty feet it will be one of the big |
gest mining properties in the State.
Some time ago parties endeavored
to secure a bond on the mine. but it
hung fire and the Quill boys have been
working on the property as their time
would allow. During the time and
when the claim was looking it's best,
said little about it. Now that they
have mine they are showing that
they have mine on their ground and
| that it is within Ormsby county and
; two miles from the capital. A good
water power is owned by the owners
of the property, and as the ore is good
concentrating rock, it is likely that
plant will go up before many moons.
If some of the mining men that are
heading for Tonopah get look at
! this property. they will conclude that
they don't have to go any farther, as
there is Tonopah at home
| ANOTHER FIND.
Along with the mining news the
Ouilette boys bring in their share.
They have been mining across the
river for some time, and now are will
ing to show what they have. 1t is a
great big ledge of gold ore that assays
from $40 to SIS and the ledge is Il
feet vide, with good walls with every
indication of holding out as depth is
! gained. They intend to continue witt
their work and see what the ledge will
do with depth
