DUPLEX DISCOVERY

The Duplex company has a piece Of
ground called the Fraction. which Hes
between the New Years Gift and the
Searchlight. Several hundred feet east
of where the former management ran
some surface slopes Manager Cotton re-
Gently put a man to work sinking on a
small cropping that assayed about 81 a
ton. At a depth of eight feet the bot
tom of the shaft is all ore, with no sign
OF either wall, and an average sample
returned S2445. The remarkable thing
about the discovery Is the odd character
of the ore It resembles very closely a
lead carbonate ore, but carries no values
other than gold The vein Is soft and
crumbly and very easily worked. AL
though on the surface the values are all
gold there Is no doubt but what with
depth they will turn base. In both the
parallel properties considerable lead, sill
yer and copper is found below the 100
foot levels.
The seven claims that comprise the
Duplex group are to be patented at once.
Deputy United States Surveyor 7. l..
Henderson will do the work.

Personal Investigation
Of Holders
Property Free and Clear
THE PROPOSITION WILL BEAR
CLOSEST SCRUTINY
Property Free and Clear

Naturally the first consideration to the
investor in mining propositions Is the
holdings of the company.
The property of the Searchlight Treas
urer Gold Mining company is right in the
heart of the great mineral producing
belt of Searchlight, New. The property
is loacted on the extensions and imme-
diately adjoining the great wealth-bear-
ing veins of the Duplex company's mines
and only a few hundred feet from the
Quartette, Good Hope and Cyrus Noble
properties, all of which are well known
to the public as big producers and max
ing their stockholders wealthy. In fact,
so near the very center of this great dis
trict is the property that portion of
the town of Searchlight Is on the COM
pany's claims, including some of the
large stores that are now becoming i'm
portant factors in distributing supplies
for this rapidly growing district.
The directors purchased the property
outright and have shown their confidence
in its merit by having the deed pass to
the CO, Ipany and they accept the stock
of the company in payment therefor, thus
starting the company out with clear
property, clear title no debts, no compli-
cations; so the company can begin it's
shaft with the first dollar received from
sale of stock. The names of the directors
are sufficient guarantee for the able, hon
est and careful manner in which the de-
velopment of the property will be made.

Los Angeles what Cripple Creek Is to
Denver" This declaration was made re-
Gently by o. 3. Steen, well-known min
ing engineer.
ut Is right in Los Angeles territory,
close to home" he continued, with no
shadow of a rival to dispute this city's
supremacy there. Cripple Creek puts out
two millions or more month, and its
development is worth that much and
more to Denver. venture the prediction
that within FIVE years the Searchllght dis
trict will be producing this, and that means
millions for Los Angeles, for 1t will come
here for the purchase of supplies in the
way of machinery, provisions, material for
buildings and every line of business. The
miners will come here to spend their
money, the mine owners will invest divi-
dends here or deposit their holdings in
the banks, so that by far the greater part
of what is taken from the ground around
Searchlight will find it's way right to
Los Angeles. Your people should realize
this and encourage development to the
limit.
There is a piece Of territory in the
southeastern corner Of Nevada, roughly
shaped in the form Of a triangle, with the
Colorado river as Its eastern line and
base, the California Nevada state line as
the southwestern side and the thirty
sixth parallel as the other in which there
is found a mineral belt that Is hard to
surpass anywhere / call it the golden
triangle and it is indeed, worthy of
the name. In its limits are about eighty
four square miles, more than half of
which are known to be mineralized."
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-11

To raise extra funds for the purpose
of constructing hoists, mills and purchas-
ing necessary machinery for operating
the mine the company is selling a small
block of stock at the price of twenty
cents per share on very liberal terms.
Mr.. Hail. who is fiscal agent at Sis
Stimson building, said in reference to
this that ANY one wishing to purchase
shares at this figure would have to act
quickly about it, because when the Of
fetal reports begin to come in everybody
would want stock"
The officers of the company are the
following wel-known citizens: Earl
Rogers, president; ]. N. Hall, vice presl-
dent; r. s. Quarter, secretary and with

Brink make up the directorate

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Observation-Disclosures

Development is going on on the Saz-
erac group. owned by Carl Anderson and
A. M. Jones of Los Angeles, and f. ID.
Howells, jr., of Monrovia. The property
is located at Dupont. Thirty-two feet of
work has been done on drift at the
10O-foot level during which the vein has
widened from one to three feet. The ore
greatly resembles that Of the famous
Quartette and is improving all the time.
The famous Duplex property continues
to hold up its great record. On the 300
foot level the high average OF ST. a ton
struck some months ago is being steadily
sustained, and now in another part an
enormous body OF altered porphyry,
twenty feet In width, has been uncovered,
assaying s47.54 and $3.50 at four feet
from the surface.
A new mill is TO be started within about
two weeks at Juniper camp, twenty miles
from Searchlight. At the Chiquita mine
at this point there are now 600 tons Of
ore on the dump awaiting the completion
OF the mill This mine has a main shaft
down 2SO feet and the main ore shoot has
been proven for 800 feet The vein is two
and one-half feet wide. with free milling
ore averaging ss5 a ton. A So-foot shaft
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-11
x-RAY HAS LOIS or GOOD ORE

Most encouraging results are being had
from the development work now in prog
ress on the X-Ray group Of claims. This
property marks the extreme north end
of the local mineral belt, and is owned
by F. j. Spare and others. At depth
of So feet the shaft is all in ore of fair
valuation and which resembles very
closely that found on the lowest level
of the Pompei. the parallel property to
the south. A strong company is being or
ganized to work the property on large
scale.
This showing on the X-Ray considered
in conjunction with that on the Cleopa-
ira, the group which lies farthest to the
south, demonstrates the thorough and
complete naturalization of the local belt
The distance between the two properties
is four and a fraction miles. To the north
of the X-Ray comes the big wash inter-
vening between Searchlight and Eldorado
canyon, while to the south of the Gle
opatra is the hex wash Whether or not
hidden veins lie buried beyond these sem
tinel mines remains for some venture
some operator to ascertain, but between

SEARCHLIGHT MINE

One of the most important enterprises
now about completed in the Searchlight
district is the unwatering of the Search
light mine of the Duplex company,
which had been shut down for the past
eighteen months and had become filled
with water on the lower level. There
were 1880 feet of workings affected on the
bottom level and the water rose ninety
five feet in the shaft.
Now the unwatering is about finished,
only two feet remaining in the shaft
after six months of continuous milling,
which has used up the water. 1t is the
intention now to Immediately explore the
fourteen-foot vein, which was split into
In the long north cross-cut. This so far
has carried very small values, but from
what the work done in the higher levels
has revealed. it is thought likely that an
excellent shoot of milling ore will be
opened by drifting.
The latest reports say that another
rich pocket was opened last week on the
first level that produces ore even exceed
ing the value of that found some weeks
ago, which ran $13,S00. The ore is speci-
men rock and very pretty, with wiry gold
shot all through the rock.

OPPORTUNITIES IN sEARcHLIeHT
Fred Wagner Has Returned

Fred Wagner, former owner of the
Daisy Bell group at Knob Hill, returned
from an extensive trip through the min
ing regions of California, where with
Messrs. Gilbert Brady and Edwards, he
endeavored to find a suitable property
to develop The party went as far north
as the mining regions of Siskiyou coun-
ty, saw many great mines and some fine
prospects, but the prices demanded were
too high and the project was finally given
up. Mr. Wagner says that great interest
is felt in the Searchllght district among
the mining men of California. He was
questioned closely concerning the mining
situation here, wherever 1t became known
that he hailed from this place. The in
quiry was generally from some substan-
tial man In business attracted by the rep
