that at n time we're called 'The
Belle of Reveille'' and the Fisher
man. mines. The properties have
produced some very rich silver ore, it
being estimated that the two mines
have produced about two hundred
thousand dollars in ore al less than a
h~undred-foot depth. Reisehke and
Gilbert had a lease on the Fisherman in
1895, and they received returns of
twenty-four hundred ounces of silver
to the ton, from the ore they shipped
to the smelters. 1t is said that they
left a shoot Of this character of ore in
the bottom Of the Wine when they
quit their lease. No effort has since
been made to reopen and work this
mine.
Contiguous to the Fisherman mine
and on the north slope Of South noun
tain are two claims owned by w. J..
Dooley of Salt Lake. These claims
have the largest bodies Of low grade
milling ore, cropping of any claims in
the camp. One of these ore bodies
measures about sixty feet across, and
samples thirty ounces of silver per ton.
This body Of ore is tapped at a depth of
so feet with a tunnel and the T seems
to be Of the same grade as on top of
unknown dimensions. This would be a
great milling proposition for capital to
take hold of.
On the south end of Middle mountain
Frank Kitzki and Mr.. Anderson of
Reno have a group of claims which at
one time produced some very high
grade ore. 1t is understood that these
gentlemen will Immediately put up a
within on n of the ldshafts and begin
active development work.
Adjoining the Kitzki and Anderson
ground on the north is the old Liberty
group Of mines, belonging to Dan
Bush, H. Reischke and Theresa
Bianchi. This mine has produced about
one hundred thousand dollars worth of
ore. In 1900 Joseph Bianchi shipped
ore from this mine that averaged
twelve hundred ounces of silver per
ton. This mine has a fine porphyry,
lime contact along which the ore is
found. With a little development work
this mine will again open up into a
great paying property such as it has
been in the past, for none of the old
workings are over 100 feet deep at
present.
The old ella mine situated about one
mile northwest of the town of Reveille,
has produced about one million, two
hundred thousand dollars in bullion. II
has an immense lot of second class ore
on the dump, which would pay to rur
through a smelter or mill. Ex-Gover-
nor ]. w. Adams of Carson City is the
owner of this property and with a little
effort it could again be put on the list
of producers or dividend payers.
To the east of the ella mine is {
group of claims owned by Reischke ant
Andrews. These claims have an i'm
pense ledge of quartz cutting the for
nation from east to west, with an iron
ledge running along the side of tn
quartz. The iron ledge carries abou
40 per cent iron with some silver an
gold values. In the quartz ledge ar
shoots of very high grade ore carrying
gold and silver. AS this ledge is a con
tinuation of the ella mine the histor
of the old ella mine may again be re
peated on this property.
A prominent capitalist of Tonopah
said to have acquired an interest in
group Of mines situated on the mort
slope of North mountain, on which Sc,
eral big lodges giving high values
gold and silver have been uncovered
This group is admirably situated fc
the running of tunnels to tap the ledg,
that outcrop on the mountain side ar
it is the intention of the owners
commence active development work
once. A tunnel run in four hundrt
feet to tap the main lodges will gain
depth Of wei six hundred feet at IL
point where it is figured the vein W
be encountered. There are sever
hundreds tons Of ore on the dumps
this property that will average ov
$50 to the ton, that was extracted
few years ago. This is one Of Il
best and richest properties in the d
trict.
Bromide Hill is situated on the nor
side of the Gulch from North Mountai
H. Reischke has a group Of twel
claims on this hill with good croppin
of silver ore on all Of them. We
little work has been done on this gro
to determine what there is below I
