WHERE RICHES LIE

1t. and add to its strength On a. Httle
mountain road winding its way 80 miles
by southwest is reached the Second
Virginia City" more commonly known
to the prospectors OF Southern Nevada
and the Golden State as the town of
Ida
Ida stands alone as one OF the old
est and richest producers OF Southern
Nevada. 1t is here that the Mexican
miners in the early days OF SIS d1scov-
cred the famous Death Valley mine
This mine has a record OF having pre-
duced not less than $500, .0o-this
rich mineral having been taken from
shafts and gopher holes during period
Of not less than 10 years. It Is proba-
bly, one of the most historical mines 20
be found anywhere in the world. Mn
ing in those days was very crude as
compared with modern methods now
employed. BY careful observation OF
the old workings one will observe that
probably no machinery was utilized IN
developing the mine. and. in fact. the
mine is still undeveloped.
To the scientific mining men OF to-day
the mines OF this vicinity present q very
odd aspect. The shafts OF the Death
Valley mine measure about three feet
in diameter and are cut in a circular
fashion. such as we used TO dig wells.
They used no hoist, but lifted the ore
by burro. which was told to move
on by the use OF rope. The ore buck
cts were raised thus to the head OF the
shaft Many little incline tunnels are
found in the sides OF the hill. which
are deep enough to permit the ore being
dragged out on sleds. The above eondi-
tion not only existed IN the Death VAL
ley property. which is one Of the oldest
in the State OF Nevada, but the same
evidence is still visible on the old work
ings of the Centennial and Blue Dick,
the Florida and several OF the other
mines that were producers in those
days.
With the discovery Of Goldneld the
prospector who moved out into the
desert was not long In finding the hid
den treasure in the mountains which
surrounded the old town OF Ida
The San Francisco call., 1905-05-23

There Is a vast field for legitimate
mining in Southern Nevada. Nature
with lavish hand has cast her golden
treasure like a prodigal spending his
patrimony. In the mountains that line
our desert wastes lie hidden untold and
ungarnered wealth. To gather 1t is the
duty of man, turning it, when received,
into the channels of commerce and add
ing to the hurried wheels OF Industry
additional revolutions.
The men who earnestly labor to bring
forth the treasures from the hills grow
to love their work, and soon learn the
cunning devices of nature In hiding
from human eye the precious metals.
They labor patiently in the laboratory
to untangle the hidden secrets of the
coInmingling elements that form the
quartz. Like the alchemists of old,
they perform miracles, and often the
reward is but the knowledge OF labor
well performed.
They sow and others reap; yet most
times when they labor victoriously they
hold a mining country with the
strength of their successes.
The earnest legitimate mining man of
the West looks further than the dawn
OF morning. He seeks the depths and
looks with smiling faith into the fu-
ture. He knows that geological condI-
tions must be favorable. He does not
exploit barren, hungry ground. nor sink
a well in the valley wash. He looks for
contacts and naturalization, and those
who pin their faith TO him are given
fair and honest chance.
1t was these same men that built
from the sagebrush roots what is now
known as the very center of the min
eraI zone-the hustling city of Gold
field, with mountains OF ore. the rich
est that have ever been discovered any,
where in the world. These plodders are
to-day Transforming the desert waste
with buildings OF stone-strong fnan-
cial institutions, which hold within
their vaults the treasure that has been
dug from beneath the very ground on
which they stand.

centers. has tributaries which lead into

400 acres. The company is composed
of we'll known capitalists. The town
is now plated, streets have been laid
out and there are about 1900 people
on the ground. This company has
also secured the water rights, which
comprise splendid springs about a
mile distant from the town. The fall
gives a head of about 200 feet. A
water company has been formed, and
the engineer is now in San Francisco
securing pipe with the intention of
getting the water into the town as

of $4,000, subscribed and paid in, has
been organized and will be in opera

dent. The president of the townsite
company is Mr.. August Stein of Salt
Lake City, a man OF great experience
in the handling of such matters. He
is also president of the water COM
psny.
In and around the town of Ida, it
is safe to say, there are no less than
twenty-five companies in active oper-
alton, and there are at least 100
groups upon which assessment work
is being done, and many new strikes
are of almost daily occurrence. The
lodges are large, we'll defined and very
accessible The climate is ideal, as
the elevation is about 6ooo to 5000
feet.
An automobile company has been
organized and the machines are now
running between Goldfeld and
Ida, making the round trip in
three hours, a distance of thirty miles.
Prompt mail connections are being
made by the Government, and post
Offices have been established. The
town is we'll supplied with all kinds

The new mining district of Ida,
situated in the southwestern corner
of Esmeralda County, Nevada, was,
In the early sixties, a camp Of con-
siderable prominence and notoriety
and a most wonderful producer.
The old Spanish legends surround
ing some of the properties in this vi
cinity are numerous and worthy of
credence, for here are to be found
many of the underground workings
from which a vast amount of wealth
was taken in the early days, almost
from the surface. 1t is well-knowu
fact that the crude methods in vogue
at that time, and the lack of mining
implements and tools, made mining
operations slow and expensive, and
the channels made in sinking inclines
down 10 the fifty and seventy-hye
foot levels, with steps hewn into the
solid rock TO serve as ladders, lead
one to believe that the place was once
inhabited by some ancient race.
Some Of the old Spanish records
show that the ore was taken out with
the Spanish nose-drill hawkeyed
pick. and was hauled by OK teams
across the desert 400 miles to the Pa
cifc Coast, and shipped around the
Horn in sailing vessels and sold IN
Wales.
The cost OF mining and shipping,
together with the cost of treatment.
averaged about $500 ton; and yet
the returns ran up into the thousands.
But the war Of 1861 caused a cessa-
ton Of operations, as well as an in
vasion of California by the pioneer
mining man, and these ancient mines
have lain dormant for nearly thirty
years.
The ore to be found upon the
dumps of the Goldheld-Lida Gold
Mining Company at Ida. the
Goldheld Ida BONANZA Mining
Company, the Wisconsin Mining
Company, the Florida Mining Com
pany, the Brown Hope Mining
Company, the Colorado, the Death
Valley and the Ida Gold Mining
Company is the best illustration of
what this camp has produced d in the
past.
On all of these properties are to be
found the workings as above mention
ed. with thousands of tons of ore on
the old dumps that run from SIoo to
$500 to the ton. These properties, of
course, were once known under Span
ish names, but have recently been re-
organized by the American hustler;
and they are all equipped, or are be-
ing equipped with large plants and
with forces OF men, and are rapidly
nearing such a condition as to satisfy

This property comprises the ia
nous Centennial group Of claims, which
lie two and a half miles southwest of
Ida, at an elevation Of 1000 feet. The
property was acquired for $4,000 from
the original locators, Lichleiter and
Jagels, who located the mine in 1857.
These men were among the first pio-
neers Of Southern Nevada and have
been taking ore from this mine for the
last thirty-hve years.
The old shaft which was sunk by the
former owners is down 100 feet and is
still productive Of splendid values. This
company is now driving a tunnel on the
vein. which is penetrated at a distance
OF l6o feet. developing a rich body of
gold and silver ore. Fifty tons of this
ore is now on the dump awaiting
shipment. The company is also sinking
a double compartment shaft which IS
about twenty-five feet from the old
working. This shaft will be sunk to
a depth OF 200 feet before drifting to
crosscut the ledge is undertaken. Grass
samples taken from the groupings
which follow the vein on the surface
show an average assay OF from $4,000. 90
TO 100000. Assays made from ore ia
ken from the tunnel on April 18th ran
as follows: Assay No. 1, $500; assay
No. 2, sse75; assay No. 8, ss50o-al in
gold and silver. carrying a large per-
centage OF lead.
The ledge is widening at this point
and the men are working in three feet
Of solid ore. Neither the hanging or
foot walls are visible.
A complete plant Of mining machin-
cry is now on the way from Denver
and will be installed at the mine upon
its arrival at Ida
1t is the intention Of this company to
build tramway system for the dis
tance Of two and a half miles to facili-
tate the handling Of the ore and greatly
increase the shipping capacity of the
mine.
The treasury stock Of this mine is
now selling for 25c per share, this
price being subject to market changes.
All moneys derived from the sale of
stock will be utilized solely for de-
velopment purposes.
