With boom on in mining matters in
SOUTHWESTERN Nevada, ii is a little diff

Wonderful resources of the part OF the
state known as Lincoln county occu-
pyinS the southeastern and southern
portion of the state. Larger than sew

miles. almost all of which is mineral

BE- the greatest mineral producing part
of this wonderful mineral state and of

Is practically undeVeloped. Several at
tempts have been made to bring il out
but bad management has resulted each
time in-only setting it back. A Colorado
man who recently made an examination
of the camp told the writer that he
could not have believed. without seeing
it, that such wonderful ore bodies could
have remained so long undeVeIOped in 4
country SO near to a mining center like
Salt Lake He was astonished at the
extent and the magnitude of several
propositions that he examined.
New Corners Active.
New people are coming into the camp
and some of the good things are being
picked up. The latest Corners are the
people who have purchased recently
from j. a. Larson the Indiana property
at Deer Lodge. about a laiIe from Fav.
and Incorporated il under the name of
the Deer Lodge Gold Mining & Milling
company They have secured a prop
erty that ii it could be taken up and
transferred to GoIdheld would be writ
ten about and talked about as one of
the biggest things ever found. They
have ledge on the Indiana claim that

seams of ore and poTphyry. the ore pre-

terent samples have run all the way
from u 10 $90o IN gold and two TO fifteen
ounces silver. Considerable work has
been done upon this ledge and others
that run through the property. one Of
which IS the rich Irus ledge in shafts
AND tunnels, and a force is kept busy
now under the direction of A G. An
dreWs IN running a tunnel to tap the
big ledge. This will give a working
depth of 200 feet and will provide an
outlet for the ores at desirable mill
site. where an abundance of water can
be secured Early in the coming year
a compressor VIII be put in and with
power drills the bore will be pushed
rapidly into the hill The ledge will be
cut in about 500 feet of running Il win
certainly be demonstrated that the
Deer Lodge Gold Mining & Milling COM
pany has one of the greatest mines in
the now great southern Nevada
Adjoining the Indiana on the east IT.,
the Irus mine, owned by George Moody
and Milton Damron of Fay. This is an
other winner as evidenced by the fact
that a trial lot of fifty tons recently
taken cut of 2 five-foot vein on the 1907
foot level. and milled al the HomeStaka
MILL gave an average of over $40. This
vein has been well opened up down 90
the lS5-fOot level and presents a fine
showing II runs through the property
for 5.00O feet and gives good assays on
the groupings for the entire distance.
