Rig STRIKE BRINGS CHERRY
CREEK TO THE FRONT
Goodwin's Weekly, Tells Of the
Promising Section


A long neglected mining camp in
eastern Nevada which has for some
years past been laboring under the
burden of litigation and chickering's be-
tween owners in an attempt to force
the purchase or sale of their leading
mine, the Star, one of the largest pro-
ducers of high grade silver ore in the
western country, is coming to the
front During the past week extensive |
strikes in high grade gold have. been
made in the old Joanna mine, the !
property of an old-time prOspector in !
White Pine county, near Cherry
Creek, New. Leasers have been work
ing in different parts of the claim, as
we'll as or several claims located on
the same contact as the Joanna,
which are owned by Ernest Baker and
his associates. and throughout the en-
tire workings free gold working upinto
thousands of dollars have been opened
up and an early shipment may be ex-
pected to Salt Lake of some OF the
richest ore which has been produced
in Nevada. The assays from three
foot vein in one of the claims runs
from $40 to $1,000, running in porphy-
rite quartz. TIL e ledge shows up
throughout, we'll in place, with both
walls, and is without doubt true hs-
sure vein.
A tunnel is being run by the owner
of the Joanna, which has opened up
the richest deposit of high grade ore
ever taken from that district, and the
camp is wide awake to the Importance
of the recent strike. Egan Canyon,
lying close to the town of Cherry
Greek, is also rich in minerals, and sill
yer properties which have been lying
idle for years, since the drop in silver,
ducers Samples of gold ore have
been received at Salt Lake from these
new strikes, which fairly glisten with
the rich yellow metal, and future RI
valing that ofTonopah is predicted by
those who haove inspected the recent
strikes, for the old camp of Cherry
Creek.
There are several Salt Lake capital
lists who have valuable holdings il
this district, who will be encouraged
to make early Investigations of theil

rich developments have been made
The distance of this camp from ship
ping points on railroads has been a Sc
riOus hindrance to the development o
the mines, but with the abundant wa
ter and timber supply close at ham
capital alone is required to place tn
camp upon an enormously rich payin
basis, and with the installation of ma
chinery and equipment for handling
the rich ores at the point of prodrK
tion the campwill soon take it's prope
position among the bonanzas of tn
Silver State
There are a large number of FREE
gold propositions close to the town c
Cherry Greek, which have for year
been worked in a superficial way b
their owners, and have been sufficien
1y rich to more than pay all expense
for working them in the crudest maj
ner, and one of these mines which wa
located over twenty years ago by D;
vid Pierce, has been a steady and III
failing producer during all these year
although lack of sufficient capital I

open it up properly and install model
machinery has held it down. Recel
assays from this property, upt
which over 500 feet of tunneling h;
been done, give returns of over o,
thousand dollars a ton and every TO
of development made recently sho1
a marked increase in width of led
and value OF minerals.
All that Cherry Creek mining can
now needs is capital and enterpri
to place it among the largest dividel
payers in Nevada-GOOdwin 'sWeek
