searchIlght Pays the Most Money

searchllght Pays the Most Money
"The bullion tax records of Nevada
show that Searchlight today pays more
money in this way to the state than any
other camp within it's limits. This in
cludes Goldfeld, Tonopah and the Com
stock mines. The tax is on net returns, -
said Thomas Gahagan, an operator Of the
Southern Lincoln county camp. "Yet we
get nothing to show for it. All of 1t
goes elsewhere, and the camps in the
south are left to care for themselves"
Mr.. Gahagan's statement was called
forth by question as to what was be-
ing done to get water on the desert in
the vast wilderness of Lincoln county,
where, SO far as reports go, one well
seems to be about all that has been at
tempted or even talked of.
There are five deals now pending in
the Searchlight district by which prop
critics will be taken up by Los Angeles
parties in the near future. One deal was
closed recently on four claims adjoining
the property of the Boulder company. l

EXCEPTIONAL EMPIRE ORE

Down at the Empire camp there is an
old abandoned shaft half way up the
mountain side from which years ago
Johnny Flynn, the original locator of the
property, extracted much of the rich ore
which he ran through his crude arastra.
Directly above this shaft there is a mon
ster cropping. and in the center of this
Mr.. E. B. Scott had single shot fired.
This shot broke and loosened many tons
of ore. And such ore Free gold showing
in almost every piese, and all of it horn
ing long yellow strings in the pam 1t is
estimated that the shot broke sufficient
ore for a very creditable mill run.
Further up the mountain side the wnze
shaft in the main tunnel is down 10 feet.
The ore at this depth is mostly of a
sulphide nature. Numerous samples have

Developments of interest to mining
men of Los Angeles continue at Search

activity prevails in all the mines of the
district. The latest matter of interest %
local people interested at Searchlght is
the formation of the Gold Coin Mining
company under the laws of Nevada for
the purpose of operating the Sazerac and
Vinona groups of claims at Dupont.
These groups were formerly owned by
local investors Carl Anderson of this

Messrs. Anderson and Jones by Mr.

over this bond and operations now under
way will continue uninterruptedly.
Ten claims are comprised in these two
groups, which are located in the neart
of the rich Dupont section, about twelve
miles from Searchlight and four miles
from the Colorado river. Aside from
minor development work there is n shaft

being worked under contracts which call
for 100 feet more development in EACH

SEARCHLIGHT M. G. M. CO.
STRIKES GOOD ORE BODY

The Searchlight M. & M company
has opened up new ore body in the west
face of the 250 level. The shoot was en-
countered 100 feet from the snaft and
has improved in values for 30 feet to the
present face. Four feet of ore are shown
in the face, and drill holes toward the
hanging show at least 80 inches more
ore in that direction. The rock horns
from 500 to $40, and is well mineraized
sugar-quartz porphyry, of the same
character as the pay ore taken from this
mine and milled last spring, from a stope
60 feet east of the new discovery on the
asme level.
The excavation for the mortar bed is
will be sunk to the $50 as rapidly as pos
sible, in order that the old shoot and
the new ore body may be stopped from
that level and to develop water for
milling purposes. Water was first en-
countered on Sunday and is coming in so
rapidly that pump will be necessary if
the flow continues to increase at the
present rate.
The excavation for the mortar bed is
finished and the work of erecting the
mill, which is on the ground, will be
pushed. The bunkhouse will be finished
in few days, this completing the neces-
sary buildings for force of twenty-five
men
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-11

has also been sunk on what Is believed
to be another and distinct ore shoot. Here
eight inches of ore has been found as
saying $3.50 a ton, and five feet that
shows 500.
The Juniper has shaft down 100 feet.
The vein that started at six inches is
now reported to be twenty feet wide, with
ore running S25 to $500.
Actual beginning of the extensive work
planned for the Eclipse group on Copper
mountain took place week ago. Dep
uty Mineral Surveyor L. T. Henderson
and a corps of assistants have gone to
the property to make preliminary sur
vey. A permanent camp will be estab-
lished at once, and the machinery and
material for mining will be forwarded
and placed in position as fast as the rail-
roads can deliver the goods. o. B. Steen,
as previously reported Is in charge of
the work and is a mining man of many
years experience. He is fully convinced
of the value of the property, as is the
company, and will superintend the ex-
penditure of a large amount of money.
from which great results are con-
f1dently looked for.
Adjoining this group on the east is the
Santa Fe, and on the south is the Cyrus
Noble. Both have uncovered pay ore
from the grass roots down, and thorough
development will produce big results. it
is believed.
The Quartette mine at Searchlight is
expected to commence shipping ore to
the smeter this week. About $50 tons will
be shipped each month If expectations
are realized, only such ore as comes from
development on the lower levels being
sent The fact that this mine isproduc-
ing smelling ore and is getting better
with depth is taken as another indication
of the permanency of the Searchlight
district, which is showing at it's best, at
depth where so many camps played out
entirely. Many well informed men ex-
press the conviction that the district Is
to be one Of the longest lived districts.

SEARCHLIGHT NOTES

Mr.. Fred Cotton. the owner of the
Duplex and Good Hope properties, was
| prospecting on a hill just east of the shaft
of the Good Hope mine when he found
the richest piece of float ever found in
that district and he took SIS, 900 in gold
out of this one rock
| There Is a little story In connection
with the Gavaland claim that is inter-
esting. Mr.. Fred Cotton was the original
owner of this claim; he was sure that
| there was a rich ledge of gold under
| ground and lost no time in filing his loca-
| ton notices. He thought of naming his
| claim after the Gavaland mine in San
| Diego county of this state. Just as he
was writing the name a hawk flew over
| his tent No one had ever seen a hawk
there before that time and none has been
| seen since. The word "Gavaland," being
interpreted into English, means hawk" ="
therefore Mr.. Cotton thought the name
Gavaland a very appropriate one.
The Good Hope property was paying
one at a depth of a few feet and in the
last two and one-half years the operators
have taken out $317, 600 in gold and have
900 more blocked out for future use.
The Ice Plant at Searchlight is in full
operation.
A Los Angeles gold mining company has
placed an order in this city for a 10
horsepower gasoline hoisting engine and
several cars of lumber and other supplies
to be shipped at once to Searchlight for
installation at it's mines. A contract for
the work has been let to T. D. Tourney
of this city. The company now has fif-
teen claims in the heart Of Searchlight.
survey is now being made preparatory
to obtaining patent. The main shaft is
down 165 feet, and sinking is to be re-
sumed. This property, together with the
Cyrus Noble and Santa Fe groups, which
adjoin 1t, has produced over 100000, all

DUPLEX EXTENSION SOLD

Three fortunate employees of the Quar-
tette Mining company-J. e. White, ]. V.
Allison and j. B. Mighton-have sold a
group of six claims to Mr.. A. NJ. Jones of
the Cod Coin Mining company for a
cash consideration.
The group consists of the Piute, Ella,
North Side, Euchre, Regal and East End,
forming the east extension of the Du-
plex and lying parallel to and 1900 feet
north of the Quartette property.
The work of developing this ground will
be begun by Mr. Jones as soon as Mr..
Carl Anderson can examine the ground
and determine the scheme of development
to be followed.
The claims lie in she heart of the
Searchlight district and the exploitation
of the ground to the east of the Duplex
will be watched with great interest.

SEARCHLIGHT DISTRICT
Los Angeles People Deeply Interested
There

"Searchlight is one of the richest min
eral sections of the world. Gold is being
hauled out by the million and those fortu-
nate in having mining stock or property
in that district are assured of big returns
for money expended"
So said Mr. j. N. Hall recently to sew
eral friends in the Stimson building. A
mining man examining some of the ore
said II was the richest and cleanest gold
bearing ore he had ever seen. Gold sticks
out all over and through the rock and
quartz, provins conclusively the enor-
nous richness of the district.
A number Of prominent Los Angeles
people succeeded in getting three claims
in the very heart Of the district adjoining
the Duplex property. from which ore
Rssaying over $4,000 to the ton has been
taken out, and they are organized under

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Editor of the Searchlght Remarks
as Below

There is no question but what Search
light is destined to become one of the
greatest mining districts ever discovered.
1t smines are many and the output of
bullion is increasing each month In the
annals of mining its history is without
a parallel. For over seven years Search
light pursued the even tenor of it's ways,
unmindful of outside publicity, intent
only on opening up and developing it's re-
sources. True this peaceful state of af-
fairs has not been the wish of the ma
jority. rather the will of the ruling
minority. But this conservative policy
has resulted for the best, for today, now
that the inevitable boom has begun,
Searchlight has a solid foundation on
which to stand; 1t has the showings to
Justify the rush" "Searchlight is a re-
freshing experience after trip through
many other districts where more mining
is done on paper than in the ground"
is the way one mining man aptly sized
up the situation.

ORE OF S13,8OO.oo VALUE

Searchlight ores are assaying at high
values. One streak in mine of Duplex
company showed $12.S00 to the ton. The
find was made in the foot wall.
The following appeared in 1.-The Search
light" a weekly paper published in
Searchlight, Lincoln county, New:
'Ore assaying $13,S00 has been struck
by the Duplex company. 1t is a beautiful
rose colored quartz and shows more free
gold than any other specimen rock so far
discovered in the district. Like all the
late strikes made by the company, it
was found in the foot wall"

question of continued and thorough de-
