both ways on the vein. The present
showing of ore Is excellent and will
no doubt improve with depth.
Find at Kawleh
Those Angelenos who are interested
in the Kawich, Nevada county, are
elated over the reported bonanza strike
on the property Of the Kawich Gold
Mining company that may cause q
stampede to the Kawich country. The
news of the strike reached Goldheld
upon the arrival Of piece of ore about
the size Of a mans fist, which Is
studded with large pieces of free gold.
The find was made on the fifty-foot
level of the property, development work
on which has been in progress for six
weeks, and at the bottom of the shaft
there has been found a great abund-
ance of high-value shipping ore.
Judging from the belt of gold which
the specimen exposes, it is estimated
that the ore will assay almost incred-
ible value.
In the vicinity of the property OH
which the strike is reported to have
been made there are working more
than fifty lessees on the claims of the
Gold Reed Mining company, and twenty
OF this number have made strikes
within the last three weeks, revealing

Old Tintlc Revives
The management of the Carisa of
Tintic is congratulating itself at this
hour upon what is probably the most
important development since the oper-
alton of its territory was begun, and
while the extent of 1t has not been de-
termined the body already is one of the
most powerful that has been uncovered
in that portion of the district, says the
Salt Lake Tribune Connection with it
was made in the main shaft several
days ago at a depth of about 900 feet,
since which time it has been dropped
into for twelve feet. Some of the ore
revealed in this affords percentages in
copper that are no less than sensa-
tional, while three samplings on the
entire mass certify to from 6.5 to 1872
per cent, with some silver and gold.
While the strike at this point is being
developed in the shaft, the manage
ment has exposed in the drift on the
7o0-foot level three feet of high grade
ore, without reference to the second
GLASS; and with thirty leases now in
operation, the outlook for greatly in
creased earnings is most assuring.
Rich Gold Find
From Caliente come reports that Nor
man Bush and Ike Bostwick old-time
Nevada prospectors, are en- route from
Death valley to Denver after four
months prospecting in Death valley
and have located one of the biggest
bonanzas in the desert.
They are backed and grubstaked by
Norris, Fletcher & Baldwin of Kansas
City and Denver, and expect their men
to put up money to lay pipe line to
their claims and erect a mill for the
treatment Of their rich ore. Their four
small buckskin sacks were filled with
chunks of gold pounded from ore, and
they state that man can make $100 a
day pounding out the gold with a NOR
tar and pestle. They report having
met William Hastings, the famous
British expert who spent several years
with Cecil Rhodes in South Africa. and
that he has exported mines belonging
to Morton, Deal and Wilson ten miles
south of their claims, and was so favor
ably impressed with the properties that
he will advise his employers, residents
of London and Glasgow. to purchase
the properties, which are held at $50,000.
