PROSPECTING SEASON.
Amateurs Taking to the High Hills ;r
Quest Of Metals.

The prospectors have the fever ag
ain and they are busy showing speci-
mems from all directions and of all
colors. A number of fine specimens
have been brought in Of late, some
showing gold, while a number have
copper and some silver.
One of the best prospects that IS
showing up is to the west of town
NJ Farrell owns the ledge and some
very promising rock is being taken
cut. It comes from big ledge of low
grade gold rock, but there is world
Of it. There is nc telling what viii
develop, as there has not been 1
great deal Of work done on the pro
perty.
Professor Roberts is showing some !
gold that is giving the other amateurs. |
| the fever. 1t is of the placer variety !
and comes from the Mill Station coUn- /
try. 1t looks mighty good.
| Another party who is prospecting
near the Shaw Hot Springs has
brought in specimens Of gold, Consli-
! cradle float has been found out thar
way and some day a ledge will be IA
| covered that will startle the natives.
Dunn and Lennon, who own the
| cid Cowing-ZabrIske mine are again
after the ledge that is in the claim.
1t is of the leadsilver order and some
( Ct the specimens that come OUT lead
everyone to believe that there is
big bunch OF it in the hill. While there
has been considerable work dooe
from tine to time yet there is plenty
Of new ground to go over and the
boys stand q very lively chance If
hitting into something that will pa.
Across the river several copper
claims are being opened up again.
Will Day and Harry COwing are in
en- a ledge that looks mighty good.
Some Of the ore compares favOrably
with any that can be found in the
. State.
As soon as the weather settles they
intend prosecuting work on the tul-
! mel that is being driven to tap the
J. ledge They have several tons Of high
y. grade ore now on the dump that wOul |
pay to ship.
+ There are a number OF other claims
y Of the same character in the vicinity
i and they show some very rich copper
rock. Among them is the mine owned
by Fred Knoblock and Johnny Mack
/ They will commence work on the pro
y perry in a short time. Considerable
r work has been done on this claim
y, and It locks like a chance to uncover
Y one of the best cOpper-goid properties
n in western Nevada.
Up at the Quill mine the boys are
doing some figuring and it is rum or
ed that a bond will be given on thl
claim. Some of the richest ere fOunl
. in this section comes from there
Q There is no question but that the Gull
boys have a good property and At
8 that is needed is capital to deyel)I
it. Several times parties have attem9
ed to bend the property but through
\ some misunderstanding it has failed.
In the Voltaire region there is th'
- ! springtime activity. The Chloride
Queen people will drive in their tun
mel this spring to determine the am
cunt of ore they have. Last fall quit
a bunch Of fine ore was taken Oh
but winter came on and closed dow
the operations for the time being
This section promises to be busy dui
ing the summer months as in nearl
every claim on the hill more or les
OF rich chloride ore is in sight.
In every direction IN this valley Their
can be found a number Of claims stai
ed cut and should any one Of the
prove a mine, there is no tellin
where the business will end. The OF
North Carson is being opened up an
a strong ledge of fair grade ore ha
been opened in the past week. TIL
home section promises some good re
turns if the boys will stay with tn
! claims and get below the grass roots
