While the world is looking toward
Nevada as a mining center an account
of recent great mineral discoveries be-
ing made all over the State, Hum
boldt county must not be overlooked
as she has some of the best mines In
the country and considerable activity
Is being displayed at the present time.
Properties that have been idle for
years are being worked and promising
locations are being made every day.
The Arizona mine at Unionville has
lately been acquired by. Eastern CAPT
talists and work will be commenced
on this great property very shortly.
The Arizona has produced, millions OF
dollars In bullion In the past and large
bodies OF ore are blocked out ready to
be milled at the present time and min
ers who have worked there say that
this property is as good as 1t ever was.
The Winnenucca Chief No. and 2,
Sarah and Extension situated on Win
nemucca Mountain and lately come
under the control of the Inter-Moun-
tain mining company, were always
considered good properties and arrange
ments are being made to work these
mines on an extensive scale. A deep
shaft will be sunk on this property in
the near future.
The Union Series, consisting OF
number of claims, also situated on
Winnemucca Mountain, north and west
of the Mountain properties. VIII
shortly be taken hold Of and develop
ment work done.
These mines produced considerable
bullion In the past and there is any
quantity OF good ore in sight at the
present time. The conditions and for
nations where these mines are situat-
ed are similar to those existing In the
Humboldt range where immense bodies
of high grade ore have been found.
The development of these proper
ties means great deal to Winnemuc-
ca as both these properties are situat-
ed only a short distance from the town.
The Manhattan Gold and Copper
company have been for the past SIX
months developing a most promising
property in the Humboldt range about
four miles easterly from Humboldt
House on the Southern Pacific rail-
road, comprising group OF four
claims. The formation, vein and min
eral conditions existing at these pop
critics are a counterpart of the Old Rye
Patch mine, which is situated about
eight miles southerly from these pro-
perties and has produced several mil
lion dollars and would be producer
at the present time only for the reason
that the property is tied up in an
English estate and is in litigation.
Parties who have seen the Manhattan
property declare that the indications
are Just as good as the Rye Patch and
will develop into big producer in the
near future.
1t Is generally believed by good re-
liable parties that under the abe man
agement of Messrs. Adamson and
Everett that this property will be
shortly placed on a paying basis and
a big output of precious metals may
be looked for at any time.
These mines are joined on the north
by the Morrison Mining company's
property which is owned by Judge
Barch and Alvin Snow of Salt Lake
City, who are the principal owners in
the Sheba mine.
These mines give promise of being
immediate producers as large bodies
of ore are now in sight in these prop
critics, some of which assays up in the
thousands.
The Sheba property is being extens-
lively developed and plans are now
completed for extensive work by
the Morrison Mining company's prop
erty which joins the Manhattan group
A number of men are employed ON
the Manhattan property and consider
able systematic development work Is
