FINDS INDUSTRIOUS LEDGEs.
Two Great Dykes Discovered Near the
Town of Beatty.

what promises TO Do one VI tue bTcde
est discoveries yet made in all of the
Nevada gold country, is now given out
by s. McEachen, managing director of
the Sunday group of eleven claims two
miles east of Beatty. A little east of
the Wildcat claims, with the great
L~onsway strike on the hanging wall
near the summit of the Bear mountains,
this mammoth dyke shows on the sur
face of these mountains for an estimat-
ed width of 1000 feet and can be traced
through a field glass for twenty miles
north. It is a great geological forma-
ton that gives character to the range
and for size and extent may be said
to be second only to the famous mother
lode of California. No other such dyke,
in fact, is known of in this country
outside of the mother lode. Carrying
itself for such a length and width, it
indicates permanency and may be said
to be the backbone of the country.
Aside from it's great geological i'm
portance, the fact that it lies but a few
hundred yards to the east of the highly
mineralized Wild Cat hill, that it cuts
right through the Bare range where
stringers in gold running in value up
to $500 are found all over the western
slope, with the great Diamond Queen
on the eastern slope carrying a ledge
300 feet wide going $40 across the en-
tire width, and that the Lonsway strike
where a pocket was found assaying
about $4,000 to the ton was made OF
the hanging wall on the east side of
this immense dyke where it cuts under
the limestone, shows the great posi-
bilities of the discovery to the seeker
of big ore bodies.
In California, from the east, every
thing is backed by the celebrated
mother lode. In this country also the
formation end dip runs the same as
this grea. tui rtzite ledge. The Mont

claims of the Sunday Nevada Gold Min
ing Co. Mr.. McEachen has kept his
great discovery quiet until now, so
that he could secure control of claims
on the lode for his company. which he
has now done.
AS if he were not satisfied with this,
Mr.. MeEachen has also made a discov-
cry of a second ledge. On this he says:
''Think l have another Shoshone here.
1t looks like it. You can't tell them
anlrt. The values are all we want and
| think with depth we will get them.
| We have established the fact that the
ledge carries values as We get assays
of 70 and 70 cents and now we want
better. We have here a limestone and
tale i~nterspersed with quartzite.' This
ledge is 10 feet across and runs nor
therly and southerly parallel to and
about 2000 feet west of the big quartz
lite dyke. 1t extends entirely through
the western claims of the Sunday
group. "This is no little blowout
said the manager. cit is just as reg
ular as the Allegheny range" AS it
is a characteristic of this country that
the rich values are found at depth, and
| with the enormous size of this great
tale dyke and it's likeness in character
| of the Shoshone considered, it has great
! possibilities of developing into another
world beating mine.
The Sunday Nevada Gold Mining Co.
now own eleven claims in the Sunday
group adjoining on the east the Belcher
group of the Kawich-Bullfrog Mining
Go. The survey of the group has just
been completed. There are three men
at work now, and another crew win be
put to work in the new shaft on the
immense 40 foot dyke cutting through
this group. The shaft is down 10 feet.
Mr.. McEachen who discovered these
two great dykes, is a mining man who
has a remarkable record for original
work, and whose Judgment has been
sustained in many very large and i'm
p~ortant operations. He comes from
Scranton, Pa, and has operated from
Quebec to Honduras, is ex-president Of
the st. Lucia Mining and Milling Co.
OF Honduras. In March, 1871, he opened
the greatest oil field in the world in
Bradford, Mexican county, Pa. About
