RICH STRIKE AT RAYHoRsE.

Last Thursday Thomas B. Wilde, of
Philadelphia, Pa, General Manager of
the Standard Metals Production Co.,
Philadelphia, and Mr.. S. T. Hunt,
Mining Eng ineer and Reporter, who
is in charge of the Turtle group of
mines, locrted near Bayhorse, arrived
in Challis to have some assays made on
ore struck few days ago on the Turtle
group of quartz claims recently pur-
chased from e. j. Michael and August
Sargent, of Bayhorse, by the Standard
Metals Production company, through
their General Manager, Mr. Wilde.
They had six assays made on ore
from the above named group on Friday
the assays being made by Mr.. E. Will
liams in his Office at Challis, and can
be depended upon to be reliable. The
samples were not picked and repre-
sented about eight tons of ore, as

And sample No. 6, the lowest grade
ore, gave returns of $50. 80 per ton.
Thus making an average for the six
samples of $l9s.s9 per ton in silver,
lead and copper. The ore at present
carries no gold, but runs as high as 10
per cent in copper and 40 per cent in
lead. The lowest per cent in copper
found was per cent. From the fore
going returns it will be observed that
the ore is very uniform in its values.
The ledge was discovered by the
above named gentlemen Messrs. Hunt
aud Wilde-one day last week while
driving a tunnel on the Turtle mine
under the old workings, and was found
almost at the grass-roots as it were,
and is two feet in width of pay ore,
and can be tracted by the coutact for
for 1000 feet. It is a true fssure vein
and the ore is regular and uniform and
in place, and dips at slight angle.
in this group there are FIVE claims,

Q THE MIRAGE OF THE MoJAVE. .
SeeseseeseeseeoeeeeseeoeeS oee o .
(BY T. SHELLEY SUrToN).

l stood on the wild Mojave, in the
heart of the desert-gloom,
On waste of the barren lava, where
only the yuccas bloom;
And l gazed at the awful vastness-
away, on the desert-sand,
And it seemed that the Great Designer
had worked with careless hand;
For the things which loved were lack
ing,and longed for a distant scene
Where the beauties of God were many,
and the earth was forever green.
Out here, on the broad Mojave, DO
blessing had God bestowed,
For the snake was the only monarch
the snake and the horned toad
But soon, as | scanned the desert, saw
in the parching sky
An Eden of earth-inverted-th be
treacherous Desert Lie;
And the groves and the wealth of sha-
dow, the stream and verdant strand,
Invited my restless spirit to the shores
of the Mirrored Land;
But l knew that the seeming garden
was only desert Dream;
Where the sirens of death were lurking
in the depths of the painted stream;
And laughed at the tempting Vision,
tho it seemed at the time divine,
For l saw, in the green illusion, the
secret of Gods design !
On the sky of the souls Mojave, and
far on the barren waste,
Are the pictures of painted Promise and
the draughts we can never taste;
Yet the desert reflects the garden, and
thus do we learn to prize
The beauties of earth and heaven and
the glory that in them lies !
The stream in the mountain-shadow is
ever and always fair
But sweeter the fount that ripples in
in the heat of the desert glare;
The pleasures of life are dearest when
they walk in the path of pain,
And the strength of our strife deter
mines the value of every gain
The goal we have reached is heighten-
ed ty the length of the path pursued
And the love we have won is dearest
when longest the lass is wooed;
Were it not for the power of evil the
good were forever lost,
For we learn of the latent value by
learning the latent cost.
The prize we may win is valued by the
labor required to win,
And the blessing is always greatest
wherever the curse has been.
The worth of our life is counted by the
number of vanished years,
And the sorrows of life are sweetened
by the flow of the bitter tears.
Our future becomes the dearest when
nearest the years have passed,
And brightest the ray of sunshine
where deepest the shade is cast
And so, in the Makers wisdom, the
good and the bad are wrought,
And the good is forever hidden, and
the beauties of life are naught
Till the soul, in its deathward journey,
has trodden the desert-path,
And seen-in the desert-distance, the
blight of the Makers wrath,
The glory of God reflected, and the
beauty of earth designed
In the sands of the arid desert-in the
waste of the thoughtless mind !

Minnie mines, and are adjoining each
other. The group IS in close proxim-
ity of the famous River View mine,
owned by the Ramshorn company, that
has produced in the negh borhood of
$250,00 and the ore is similar in
character to that of the River View
mine. The Turtle group is situated
near good wagon road, and easy of
access, and but short distance from
the town Of Bayhorse. 1t is at an
altitude of 1900 feet.
Messrs. Wilde and Hunt feel highly
elated over the new strike, and are
confident when the mines are properly
opened by tunnels and shafts, that it
is one of the best mining propositions
in Custer county, for the formation of
the country shows it to be a great
mineral belt. The ore is of such high
grade quality that it will stand mining
and shipping from the very start and
the owners will realize a good net
profit. These mines, we believe, will
develop greater and richer as they go
down, which. is true character of the
mines of that camp. Little work has
been done on the group in the past,
and cannot be termed a "dug out"
property. In fact all of the mines of
the camp with two or three exceptions
have been but Scratched over" as we
might say.
Bayhorse is one of the very best
mining districts in Custer, or any other
county for that matter, for what work
proven them to be good produce and
millions of dollars of precious metals
have been taken out, with still millions
of dollars in sight in the mines there
to be taken out. The mines at present
are not being worked to any great ex-
tent, and what work is being done is
by leasers in limited way. The ore
of the camp, as general rule, is of
high grade character. The famous
Ramshorn mine in this district, is
without doubt, one of the best mines
10 Idaho, and it is said TO have over
100000 900 of ore in sight and already
blocked out and ready to take out any
time, but will probably remain in that
state until railroad is built to Salmon
river, and there hundred or more of
mines in the camp with good ore bodies
developed that are idle because of the
high rate of shipping.
The new strike made by Messrs.
Hunt and Wilde means much to this
part of Custer county, for the Turtle
group is owned by a rich company who
are not afraid to put their capital into
a legitimate mining enterprise, and
we look for much work to be done on
these mines next year. Mr.. Wilde,
General Manager for the Standard
Metals Production company, is a min
ing man of note. He has been on the
ground consequently is capable of
judging the merits of the property.
He was formerly Mayor of Mercury,
Utah, and also practiced law at Ogden,
but at present his home is at Phila-
delphia, Pa. Mr.. Hunt will have gem
eral management of the Turtle group
of mines. He is an experienced mining
engineer and miner, and has good
a good reputation as such from Utah,
Idaho, Colorado and other States.

UNITED VERDE DIVIDENDS.

The Los Angeles Mining Review re- ports that a dividend of S225, 900 was declared by the United Verde mining company last Thursday. making the third dividend of an equal amount for the year. The paper in question adds that when things get into smooth go- ing order again at the United Verde dividends will not be conspicuous by their absence. Wonder if this can be the same United Verde company to which the board of supervisors of this county recently made a present amounting to about SIG, 900 and which the mouth piece and apologists of said board said had been running at a big loss last year? If it is that extra SIG, . 900 could have been taken from the s675, GOO dividend fund of the com pany without being missed and it would have been felt very beneficially by this county. The above however only goes to show that the excuses offered for that SIG, 900 donation to the company had no foundation in fact, and were absolutely false. The man who made the assertion that the United Verde company operated at a loss last year is fit subject for either the lunatic asylum or the fool killer.
 The same paper states that during the previous twelve months, the com pany paid ten dividends of 75 cents each, making d total in dividends for that year of 8, 250, 900. and yet in the face of such record, our benevolent board of supervisors reduced the as sessed valuation of the property from S3,000, 900 to a little over Sl.0O0, 900. With a record of g 2JO, 900 d year in dividends the utter and absolute ab- surdity of placing a million dollar valuation for the purposes of taxation must be apparent to the most obtuse mind. Then why in the name of good business did the supervisors film fam this county in the manner in which they did?
