The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1903-03-05

of Nevada is to receive the attention
of the mining world to her mineral
deposits, and l wish to present a few
facts in relation to a district that, like
a great many mining camps in this
State. has the reputation
of being purely a silver producer. 1t
is true that in the palmy days of the
white metal, Willow Greek mining
district produced largely of silver, but
it is also true that it was only the de-
line in price of silver that set pros
pectors at work examining the gold
deposits of the district, and though but
a small amount Of development has
been accomplished, owing to the pow
erty of the owners, enough has been
done to warrant the assertion that it
will only require the assistance of
capital to develop a number of paying
properties in the district.
The district forms a large portion of
the western slope of the Santa Rosa
range, situated in Humboldt county,
State of Nevada. The range rises out
Of the valley of the Humboldt and
runs in a northerly direction for a dis
lance of seventy-fve miles, where it
yanishes in the lava beds of the Owy-
hee. The district is about seyenty-fye
miles in width. In it the range .attains
its highest altitude, which fact ac-
counts for the plentiful supply of
water in the camp.
Willow Creek, the ~postoftice, is fifty
miles from Winnemucca on the c.. P.
r. r., and is connected with it by a
daily stage.
The Santa Rosa range is cut by
creeks at intervals Of every three or
four miles, and three OF those streams
afford good motive power for moderate
sized milling plants. Springs abound
in the hills. and water for domestic
purposes can be had on or close to
,-.,-1-. ,Ioir, -, oapan
The timber supply is also both large
and very conveniently situated. On
some of the claims good mining timber
is literally growing on the dumps,
while at the most disadyantageously
situated claims it could be laid down
for l cent per running foot; but the
ground is excellent in this respect and
very little timber is required, at any
rate for preliminary work.
The core of the range is granite and
of this rock the highest peaks are
termed, but to the present no mineral
bearing lodges have been found in it.
The general formation is slate, which
is cut at intervals by large dykes of
eruptiye rock. In connection with or
in close proximity to these dykes are
found the mineral-bearing lodges of
the camp. AS a rule the lodges are
large bodies of vitreous quartz, and
with few exceptions their groupings
can be readily traced for considerable
distances Though in all of them ore
OF very high grade has been encount-
cred, still they must be described as
low grade propositions.
On the south side of the main fork
of Flat Creek and lying between 1t
and the south fork of hat creek is
the North Star mine, formerly known
as the Wild Deer. This claim has
considerable work done on it, and
under extremely adverse circumstan-
oes was a paying producer at one
time. Since it's discovery up to last
year it has not at any time been in
the possession of mining men, and
it is no way the fault of the property
that it has remained idle so long. The

district should receive a bad reputa-

The North Star averages a little
over one-fourth its values in gold, and
is a perfectly free-milling PROPOSE

stated over 500, 900 was realized from
the ore worked. About five hundred
feet from it's south line an incline
shaft has been sunk on the ledge 165
feet. showing a body of quartz that
will average four feet in width.
Eighty-four feet from the surface an
adit level has been run 200 feet to
the north, gaining the surface on the
north hill side. Nearly the whole
ledge has been stopped out from this
north level to the surface.
On the north hillside and 70 feet
below Nc. 1 level, a tunnel has been
driven 200 feet on what appears to
be a stringer, but the main ledge
was encountered at 14O feet and 20
feet further in an upraise was made
No. 1 level.
Extending 1900 feet south from the
North Star ground is the Fawn mine
on the same ledge. A few shallow
inclines have been sunk on this ground
and the vein shows the same general
characteristics as the North Star.
About one mile south of the North
Star lies the Sunburst group, consist
ing of four claims, the most develop
ment work having been done on the
Sunburst No. l. For all the essen
tial facilities for cheap mining this
grou a hardly be surpassed. An
adit level ON the ledge from the South
Fork of Flat Creek will give backs
of 100 or 1900 feet, and a large sup
plv of mining timber grows right on
the ground. AS far as can be deter
mined from the workings the ledge
is of immense size, no bona fide walls
as yet been found. Gold
comprises about 80 per cent of the
values found in the ore, and, as far
l can see, it is perfectly free-mill-
ing. Arsenical pyrites occur in occa-
sional branches throughout the vein
and N their vicinity the ore is of
grade. On the dump is about
100 tons of ore that l think will
work from SIS to $40 per ton.
Five hundred feet west of the south
ern extension of the Sunburst and on
the summit of the hill lies the Idaho.
Cuts run on the surface show so and
60 feet of quartz. A shaft has been
sunk 35 feet and some good gold-ore
extracted.
About one-half mile west of the
Sunburst lies the Moonbeam claim.
Here is a very rich body of gold and
silver ore was found which was work.
ed out and shipped. An incline shaft
was sunk and at 40 feet another shoot
Of rich ore was struck, some of which
a also shipped.
About one mile south of the Moon
Here considerable work has been
done, and in some respects the same
bad management shown as in the
North Star. Ore carrying a good per-
centage of silver was hauled Is miles
and worked by a free-gold process +.
At the center of the claim a shaft
has been sunk 35 feet on a ledge two
and one-half feet wide, showing a rich
body of gold and silver ore. The ore
from this tunnel, as we'll as some
stopped out overhead, was worked as
above stated and SIS per ton was

Bath tubs will soon become OBJ
solete. Shower baths are taking
their place and have become so pop
ular that no really up to date house
is considered complete without one.
All the new apartments have them
d a matter of course.
To bathe in the old fashioned
way by getting into a tub full OF
water is not only no longer the prop
er thing, but is actually considered
untidy. How can one emerge per-
fectly clean and fresh from water
in which one has been scrubbing the
body!
The ideal stub" is the shower
needle bath, and the way to take 1T
is to turn on gentle shower while
lathering the body with soap rubbed
plentifully on bath brush. This
done, increase the shower through
the hot water faucet, letting the
streams come hotter and hotter un-
til the water can no longer be borne.
Then gradually cool it off, close the
hot water faucet altogether, turn on
deluge of cold, revel in it for a
few seconds and jump out for Wig
orous application of towels. Here
you have the body soaped, rinsed,
steamed, cooled and invigorated in
such way as the devotees of the old
fashioned tub never dreamed Of

Prince Raymond Montecucoli,
one Of the most brilliant military
commanders of his day, called the
lance the queen of weapons and also
the most ancient. 1t was used by
the Greeks and Romans and later BY
the knights Of the middle ages
Charles VIII. Of France seems to
have been the first to introduce .
regular lancer regiment into his ar
nv. The corps was abolished BY
Henry Nv. owing to the difficulty OF
finding men TO serve. So lancefs
disappeared from the French army
until the Napoleonic wars In the
meantime Frederick the Great, hav-
ing seen the excellent use made OF
the weapon BY the Poles, had armed
part Of his cavalry with the lance
and had ultimately formed Q regi-
ment of uhlans. After the partition
Of Poland in 1907 many Poles en-
tered the French service, and body
Of Polish light horse was formed
which Napoleon in 1909 made into
. regiment Of lancers- A year late!
Napoleon formed q second regiment
Of lancers out Of part Of the roya'

cessful that Napoleon created mor'

ments until after Waterloo.
