The Ida Queen.

That the district around the Ida
Queen is attracting considerable atten-
tion is attested by the fact that large
Colorado combination has taken a lease
upon four blocks of ground on the Bel
cher, claim adjoining the Ida Queen
group, says the Palmetto Herald. The
concern referred to is the Denver FL
nancial Securities and Trust Company,
which is represented locally by Chas. L.
Austin. On the Ida Queen the good
showings Of last week are proving up
splendidly, and warrant all the good
things said Of them, and many more
besides.
The Austin, Dempsey and Mcmahon
shaft, one of the best leases on the
Ida Queen, has disclosed large body
of gold bearing quartz, which carries
fine values. A windlass has been in
stalled, and sinking will go rapidly for
ward to the so foot mark, and crosscut-
ting commenced at that point.
The Henderson and Jones leases are
holding out well, the ledge cut in the
contact being about five feet in width,
with streak of six inches that will run
to 5000 per ton, and makes the whole
ledge almost shipping product and a
high grade milling value. The shaft on
the Esmeralda is down to the 35 foot
mark, and has cut network of small
veins, ranging from six to eighteen
inches in width, any one of which shows
colors, and some of them carrying high
grade values.
The Hall and Waldron shaft is down
deep enough to require a windlass,
which will be put up today.
The main efforts of all working in and
around the Ida Queen, is to develop
body Of milling ore, which is considered
of more Importance than devoting their
energies to hunting for streaks of high
grade. 1t is practically assured fact
that a mill will be built at no great dis
tance away, soon, and with this in
operation the leasers are confident of
being able to take out as muchImoney
with lower grade ore as they would
with higher grade, but less quantity.
J SOdavIlIe.
Some extraordinarily rich finds of
lead-silver ore have been made recently
in the vicinity of Sodaville. The sur
face showings are said to remarkable
and the formation is rhyoIite-por-
phyry. The scene of the strikes is but
short distance from the Tonopah and
Goldfeld railroad.
) A New Company.
: The Fred J. Bowman company has
been formed to act as fiscal agents for
mining companies. Mr. Bowman the
manager Of the company has been en-
gagged in mining the last Is years, in
Arizona, Colorado and Canada, coming
| here from Cobalt last winter. He has
} secured offices in the building adjoining

Golden Arrow.


Considerable activityis reported from
this district. The hotel is crowded to
its full capacity and Manager Geo. Muir
ply has had to send for extra loads of
supplies.
The working shaft on the Confidence
mine was down 25 feet on Monday, and
the vein is making remarkable
showing.
The shaft on Judge Cahill's lease, on
the Golden Arrow Mining Co. s ground,
is down 55 feet and as soon as drifts are
started, sinking will be continued to the
100 foot level. There is good shipping
ore in sight on this lease. The shaft on
leases / and is down rs feet and that
on leases 3 and is down go feet. Both
shafts show vein from to 10 feet
wide, of milling ore.
The President group is being devel-
oped by King and Harrington and their
San Francisco associates. Several
crosscuts have exposed strong quartz
ledge, which pans well in free gold. A
shaft will be sunk as soon as the posi-
ton of the strongest ore shute is
located.
The Page ledge, which runs through
the property of the Golden Arrow and
Clifford mining company's ground, has
been opened up south of the Yellow
Jacket group, by John Hall.
A new discovery of quartz vein run
ming high in gold and silver, was made
a mile north of Confidence hill, few
days ago.
A map of the district will shortly be
issued by Dr. Elftman. Owners OF
claims should communicate with him,
so that the map may be as complete as
possible.
There are many leasers on the Page
ledge and some are getting rich ore
On leases Nos. Z and on this ledge
there are number of men at work
and they are getting out ore running
from 5000 to $500 ton in value. Or

force of men at work, and on thu

Manhattan News.

The Manhattan Citizens Committee,
which had in charge the collection of
funds for the San Francisco sufferers,
has sent the relief committee at San
francisco $500. This is certainly
snlendid showing for such new camp
and is a fitting tribute to the generosi-
tv of the Manhattan people.
The business and private houses of
Manhattan are being wired preliminary
TO the turning on of the "juice" which
will light Manhattan by electricity.
The poles are on the ground and will be
erected at once. 1t will be some time
before the current will be sent through
tbe wires, but Mr.. Hobbs states that
every effort will be made to have the
plant ready for business in as short a
time as possible.
A shipment Of high grade ore has
been sacked on the Woods lease on the
Riley fraction and will be sent to the
outside for treatment during the next
few days. Judge Vermilyea iss inter-
ested in this lease and the shipment
would have gone forth ere this had the
gentleman been here. Now, however,
Mr. Woods has decided to send out the
ore and has likely received word from
Mr.. Vermilyea to do SO.
The large two-story building being
erected by S. P. Santos, formerly of
Tonopah, on Lower Main street, is
nearing completion and when finished
will be one of the handsomest struc-
lures in the city. The lower floor Of
the building will be used by Mr.. Santos
as a secondhand store, while the upper
story will be occupied by the builder
and his family as living apartments.
The Pine Nut, joining the Consolida
ted on the east, has sprung into th'
very center of the lime light, having
been the scene of one of the really
great strikes of the camp. High grad,
ore has been opened at two differen
points on the property, at either end
almost, of the Pine Nut claim. At
depth Of 40 feet the entire bottom 0
the shaft is Of ore having an averag
value that will give a wide margin
above the cost of mining and treat
ment. Farther to the east a distanc
of 600 feet or more a surface opening
has disclosed fve-foot ore shoot tina
is Of exceptional richness. From assay
taken values have been proved rangini
from S75 to Sl6ls per ton. As has bee
looked for the Pine Nut has develope
into one of the great properties of tn
district. o. p. Posey, who has jus
concluded an examination of the Con
solidated mine for capitalists, who con
template purchasing it, visited the Pin
Nut during the week and was distinctl
impressed with its showing. 1t was a
Mr.. Posey's suggestion that work wa
commenced where the rich ore wa
found at surface.
Carson
f. p. Esser arrived here Wednesda
and left the following day for Manhat
tan. Mr.. Esser is one of the heavies
owners in the Manhattan Carson, o
which Dulfer & Sheldon are fiscal agent
and says that the property is improvin
as depth is attained. The ledge is no.
being crosscut at the 50-foot level an
shows splendid values. Sinking to tn
100 level is to be prosecuted and whil
will be placed on the ground as soon &
the order can be filled, as it is the il
tention Of the company to find the e.
tent of the ore-body that they are worl
ing on.

some pieces of rock from the ledge and
upon breaking them open, found free
gold in quantities. Gold Mountain is a
rich district and it only requires little
capital and considerable work to develop
it. | think the Milbrae has a great
future and should become a good pro-
ducer."
The owners of the Milbrae properties
were the original promoters and devel-
opers of the West Tonopah Mining
Company, of Tonopah. The treasury
stock of this company has been with
drawn from the market, and none can
be bought from the original purchasers
for anywhere near what they paid for
it. AS matter Of fact the surface in
dications at Milbrae are better than
they were at West Tonopah. 1t is one
ID the largest properties in the district,
containing eleven claims, about 22C
acres, and lies between two developed
properties whose veins must pass
through it.
