to the editor of the American Mining
Magazine. "Mining for turquoise

From Bullfrog, one of the cluster
of gold bearing camps by which Gold
field, Nevada, is surrounded, came
news that in a piece of ground ac-
CURED by location by Mr.. Simon anG
:, II. Bamberger of this city ores
have been encountered that afford as
much as $l2O per ton, says the Salt
Lake Tribune. John A. Kirby. who
recently visited the new camp as
the representative Of these gentle
men, %yerifes the report, but says the
resultof one assay should not be taken
as an average, and that the fortunate
owners of the claim will be satisfied
with less. He defines the ledge as a
very powerful one, with the ore oc-
curing in the fractures, and to him
the ground presents a most favorable
outlook. In the same locality and
upon the same zone ores Of the value
Of several thousand dollars per ton
have been uncovered, South OF this
is the Kane Wonder recently ac.
quired by Hartwig Cohen on behalf
Of Capt. j. r. Delamar fer $40, 900

valley, Nevada, and that from the

chral region where lie the bones Of
not a few who persisted in the search
for gold, he will dig another fortune
is now, said Mr.. Cohen, quite well
assured. Already he has opened up
approximately 100, 900 tons Of rock,
which affords an average much above
the rule Of the diggings, and with the
equipment with which it is to be SUR
rounded at once, Nevada will have
added another to its big list Of bo-
nanzas. The milling ores Of the
property are associat ted with not a
little Of very high grade, while it is
said that a very large tonnage will

GoldfeId Electric Power.

The proposition Of establishing an
electric plant on Bishop creek in Cal
ifornia for the generation Of power
for use in Tonopah and Goldfeld is so
well advanced as to be a practically
assured fact. This is the statement
OF the gentlemen who are backing it
up. The enterprise is backed by
some Of the wealthiest men who are
interested in the camps, among them
being Rodney Curtis, who was for
eighteen years president of the Den.
Yer Tramway company, as well as its
organizer Frank J. Campbell, man
ager Of the indicator mine, Of Grip
pie Creek; C. NJ. Hobbs, for twenty
five years purchasing agent for the
Denver u Rio Grande railroad; L. b..
Curtis, chief engineer of the work
now proposed, and G. f. Porter, at.
torney. They are all IN Goldfield and
at Bishop this week. The plant to
be first installed will be Of 1900 horse
power capacity, The estimated cost
OF the whole work will be about $780,
600. The transmission line will run in
as direct a line toward Goldfield as
possible, following the general course
OF the Bishop aud Goldfield toll road
across the White mountains. As
nearly as can be foretold before the
completion Of surveys, the only I'M
decided factor on which the venture
now depends is the amount Of power
for which sale can be found in Gold
field. Reno Gazette.

MOHAWK-ALPINE.
Byron Il. Shear Making a Great
Mine of This Pr0Derty.

Byron +, Shear, the veteran Colo
RADIO mining operator, who now claims
Tonopah as his home, and who is de-
voting his entire time and talents to
the development of the Mohawk.
Alpine properties at Silver Peak,
was in Salt Lake last week on his
way to Denver and in reply to an
inquiry made by the representative
of the Salt Lake Herald. said
The Mohawk Alpine is an extern
sion of the old Blair bonanza, a prop
erty that is worth several millions
today, We have the same ledge run
ming through i ground for 1, 500
feet, and we have immense bodies of
fine milling ore already opened up.
Breaking everything between walls,
the rock will probably average $12.
a very large percentage Of it will 90
$50 to $40 per ton, and this is the
character of rock we are piling up
for the day when we get a mill il
operation, which will be be a few
months hence.
Just recently we encountered
about twelve inches Of ore in one
portion Of the property that sample
assays shows to run over $500 per
ton. What this discovery will amount
70 it is yet too early to say. But
leaving it out of the reckoning alto
gether, | know we have a mine, and
a big one. The ground is so located
that we can open it for more than
LOGO feet by t%unneling and that will
be done later
Mr.. Shear says that Nevada as a
mining region is going to %startle the
world during the next few years. IL
is drawing men and money from all
directions now, but he considers that
the movement has hardly begun.
