eighteen inches of ore which assayed
from $1,100 to $1,000 per ton.
This Stray Dog vein is still improv-
ing, each days development work hav-
ing added to the grade of the ore,
and the richness of the contents Dur
| ing the past week President L. M.
Sullivan, of the Sullivan Trust Com
pany, made II tour of inspection of the
properties in the Manhattan district,
in which he is interested. While he
was at the property, ore assaying
$4,000 per ton was broken down in
Wine which is being sunk from the
135-foot level and the vein had wild
ened more than foot during the
week, without locating the foot wall.
Work is now centered in following
the hanging wall down and the indica-
tons of material increase in the
width of the vein were most favor
able. The grade of ore was still in
creasing Three feet of ore assaying
81 100 per ton was being sacked, and
the four feet of milling ore in the
vein was averaging sos per ton. Civ
| ing general average across the width
of the vein of $50S.
The showing, then in the Stray Dog
| has demonstrated that the property is
| today the second greatest mine in the
entire district, the single exception
being the Indian Camp property. No
other property in the district has such
a showing of high grade ore in sight
as the Stray Dog, and, in order that
the true conditions of the property
might be made known to stockholders
or other interested parties, orders
have been issued to permit any visitor
so desiring to go through the property
and measure up the ore for himself.
| This issuance of such an order is an
| innovation in mining in Nevada, where
to inspect the important properties of
| the district it has been necessary to
secure permits. 80
Naturally, curiosity Is aroused when
| the statement Is made that, even with
the showing in the Stray Dog, that
property Is surpassed in importance by
the Indian Camp. With upwards of
a million and half dollars worth of
ore in the Stray Dog, a mine which
promises to be even greater, Is worthy
of most serious consideration. The
Indian Camp shaft has reached
depth of 200 feet. At the 100-foot level.
cross-cut has been run westward
800 feet. At point about 100. feet
| from the shaft, the cross-cut entered
the foot wall of an enormous vein,
which proved to be 1876 feet wide. To
demonstrate that the foot wall of this
vein has been encountered, a drift
was run north and south along the
vein 67 feet, proving conclusively that
it had been located. This vein carries
strong sulphides, which assay from $12
to SIG per ton. Another huge vein
is now being explored in the shaft,
which is perpendicular and passes
through So feet of vein matter all
showing values which assay from 500
to $50 per ton, the shaft being thor
oughly sampled every five feet of
depth attained.
| The vein through which the shaft
passes is entirely separate and distinct
from that encountered in the cross
cut the two paralleling each other.
With these two veins, one about 40
| feet wide and the other 1876 feet wide,
| carrying ore which will average even
| $40 per ton, the Indian Camp property
today is one Of the greatest milling
properties in all the State of Nevada.
Discussing this property and it's posi-
bilities when developed to a depth of
| 500 to 1000 feet, General Manager Ed.
Hoffman declares that it can not be
too highly regarded and that in all his
experience in Utah (where he devel-
