Old Mines Again BeinG Worked-New
Ones BEING Discovered.

This old mining district is again COM
ing to the front, and many new finds are
being made on old as well a. new loca-
tons, and every indication at present is
that this portion of Esmeralda county
will be thoroughly prospected from this
time forward. Mines in this locality
were worked at a profit twenty-five
years ago, but most OF them were aban-
doned when the price OF silver went
below a dollar an ounce. Only a small
percentage of the locations were pat
ented, as in those days it was not the
Custom to secure government patents.
1t is different these strenuous days ana
all those who have made locations are
already or will in the near future start
surveying for patent. The old five
stamp mill at Palmetto has been idle
for twelve or fifteen years, but Is in fair
~ good condition yet, and with the ex-
penditure of a few hundred dollars
would again be ready for custom ores.
Among the business and mining men of
Goldfield who are interested are John
Quinn. W. :. Elliott, Martin Eppinger
and the Taylor Brothers, OF the Jumbo.
Hank Smith returned from the district
a few DAYS ago and to a News reporter
said Il was agreeably surprised at the
splendid showing around Palmetto. |
went there for the purpose of making
an inspection of the New York group
owned by John Quinn. The group con-
sists of the Troy, Syracuse, Utica, Erie
and Rochester. They were recently re-
located and the assessment work has
Just been finished. Years ago ore was
shipped from three of the shafts. The
deepest workings are on the Troy, where
there is a shaft down - feet on a fine
body of ore. Another shaft which was
60 feet deep has caved in, but ! am re-
liably informed that from it some very
rich ore was shipped. the values being
principally il. gold. Two years ago six
tons OF the quartz which was left or the
dump was sacked and shipped, and when
sampled it showed better values than
5000. The group is located about five
miles northeast of the old mill. There
is an abundance Of timber both for fuel
and mine purposes, and water can be
found by sinking a short distance any
where in the camp. The Eppinger
mine located six miles west, gives prom
Use of turning out to be one OF the bo-
nanza gold mines of this section OF the
state. Several shipments to the smelt-
ers have been made in the past few
months, and | have been told that the
ore went away up in the HUNDREDS. Ep-
pinger and his associates bought the
property for $1,000 last fall, and recent
ly refused to accept a $780, 600 bid made
by Salt Lake investors. /. Mcconnell
who has been employed for year, as
Waterman at the stamp mill also ilaS a
mine, and from samples oi the quartz
taken from the bottom OF the 100 foot
shaft | obtained an assay in gold that
went $50. The Buster Is the new name
for the old FORTUNES mine at Pigeon
Spring. 1t has pay rock in sight and
! plenty OF it. In the old days an arastra

Immense Free Milling Proposition
Being Opened Up.

During the past week Supt. l.. r.
Bedford has doubled the force at the
Hazeltine or Gold Bar property, adding
six men, and work is now in progress in
| three places on the strike of the ledge.
| This property is looking better every
week. and may be considered n of the
biggest milling propositions in the en-
tire Bullfrog district.
The work now in progress consists of
sinking and prosecuting. There are
three shafts, all showing ore of a mill
ing grade, that are being steadily put
down with very satisfactory results.
The discovery shaft, which was sunk on
a ledge parallel to and only a lew feet
distant from the main ledge. has been
continued to a depth of 80 feet on an
incline. A crosscut run . feet has
pierced the main ledge, showing an
average assay of $40 in gold. This shaft
is about midway between the two other
shafts.
The vertical or south shaft is 30 feet
deep. From this shaft crosscuts were
run. exposing about s feet of fine
milling ore which will assay from S12 to
$40, or an average of about S26. About
100 feet of drifting has exposed the ore
to a flattering extent.
The third shaft, recently started, is
being put down about 1000 feet north
of the 5O-foot vertical shaft. Here the
quartz ledge crops prominently, and an
average sampling of the lead at the
surface assayed 1890. The ore in the
bottom of the shaft, fifteen feet deep,
ASSAYS S2S.S0. This shaft will be in
clined to follow the footwall which has
been encountered.
The ledge has been opened in several
places over a length of 800 feet and
the vein material from every hole will
pan. The quartz is an ideal free mill
ing proposition, very hard in places,
but slightly decomposed as a rule. A
characteristic feature of the quartz is
the presence of black manganese. The
vein is a true assure in andesite. The
most prominent cropping is % feet in
width.
The Hazeltine property is Owned by
the Bullfrog Gold Bar Mining company.
The prominent stockholders are j. p.
Lotus, j. K. Davis, Kenneth M. Jack
son and the Sherman Goldfield Mines
company. Mr.. Davis, with whom the
editor of the Herald visited the property
Wednesday, corroborates the Herald's
statement concerning the price paid foi
the mine and the purchase of the stock
given as a part of the consideration, the
aggregate price being $l17 900. This
was the first deal of Importance made
in the district, the sale OF the Denver
for 500, 900 following o o after.
Mr.. Davis returned yesterday tc
Goldtield. where he and Mr.. Lotus are
operating Il bonanza lease on the Sand
storm. While in camp he made his
headquarters at Rhyolite. He expects
to visit the Gold Bar property every
two weeks.-Rhyolite Herald.

the purpose of eliciting facts upon which to
base his side of the case. First of al''

To tell you the truth replied the accused.

Whereupon the lawyer. as he rose to go,

And how much will that be?" asked the
guilty one.

laconic reply.
