NINETY DAYS ALLOWED
FOR WORK ON PLACERs

Attorney Henry NJ. Farnam has point
ed out to The News a considerable dis
crepancy between the placer laws of
this state as shown in the pamphlet is
sued in 1904 and the law as properly
read. 1t appears that the state mining
laws were compiled in 1897 in which
legislature 1t was decided that location
work on placer claims must be executed
and certificates filed in 60 days from
date of discovery. (Sec. IA of chapter
S9). In 1899 the Law was revised allow
ing 80 days in which to do the pre-
liminary work. (Chapter 94). Although
since 1899 the law on placer in this
particular has remained unaltered the
secretary of state in compiling his 1904
pamphlet unwittingly lapsed into the
conditions of the law Of 1897 and
states that the location work must be
recorded within go days. AS the pam
phlet issued in 1904 showing this YER
sion was quite generally circulated and
the 1905 issue corrected is held by but
few persons there has been considerable
vexatious friction upon the point al
ready and with the growing popularity
of Nevada placer as evidenced at Mil
ler's Lake and other places, there is the
likelihood of still more. Mr.. Farnam
has rather disinterestedly loaned his UNI
Outstanding of the laws in the cause of
peace.

Dish TO RAMSEY
DISTRICT NOW ON

There are % leasers now at work.
Some of them have been offered big
bonuses for their interests.
Several Colorado miners who have
been in Southern Nevada since the first
discovery at Tonopah. say that the
showing at Ramsey exceeds anything
they have yet seen in the state.
The town now has a population of
500. One day last week the townsite
company rave away alternate lots on
Main street as long as they lasted. Some
of the choicest lots are held at from
$500 to $500. There are now eight
saloons, three restaurants, four grocery
stores, two lodging houses and an as
say Office in the town and a big hotel is
contemplated by Towle Brothers. Six
eight-horse teams are now hauling sup
plies into the camp from Apache which
is the nearest point on the railroad.
The Southern Pacific will open a sta
ton at Pawnee where there is already
a mile siding. This will give a good
road int camp and only a nine-mile
haul. A telephone line will be built by
the townsite people at once to connect
with Pawnee.
The county commissioners of Lyon
and Storey counties are running a sur
vey to find out which county the town
is in.
Accommodations for lodging are null
tiplying rapidly and a good meal can be
obtained at the restaurants for so cents.

REPORTS
FROM ROUND MT.

F. NJ. Dorsey has just received a let
ter from W. r. Gibson. foreman Of the
Round Mountain Imperial Mining COM
pany in which the writer states that
several strikes of considerable magri-
tude have been made within the past
few days at Round Mountain. Mr.. Glib
son states that somewhere in the soptn-
ern part of the district silver ore assay
ing as high as 1000 ounces has been un-
covered. 1t also states that to the west
ward five feet of cinnabar ore has been
struck. The assay values from this
rock III reports are s12 in gold and 80
per cent quicksilver. Beyond these bare
facts the News has learned nothing
more of the strikes.
Judge Lewis H. Rogers reports that
the prevailing conditions throughout the
camp are exceedingly good. On the
Rogers-Round Mountain ground the
shaft on the Lookout claim is down 80
feet the last IS feet being in a ledge
which assays clear across about SIS. AS
the ledge which lies quite fiat has not
been cut through it's actual width is not
kr own. This great body of ore makes a
vely attractive milling proposition. All
of the rock pans.
1t is understood that Harry Taylor
and AL Riggs are planning to erect a
custom mill at Round Mountain. 1t is
claimed that at North Jefferson, five
miles from the camp enough water is
had to develop 50-h.p. If the mill is put
into operation 1t will mean a big thing
to the district.

cor.oRApo MILL OWNER
VISITING GoLDFIELD

M. Hover, Jr., for years the opera
,r of the Dorcas mill at Florence, Colo,
and which burned down last spring is in
.own taking advantage of his enforced
vacation to visit the camp in which for
some time he has been largely inter-
ested. Mr.. Hover is director in the
Gold Bar and c. o. D.. companies and has
some holdings in the vicinity of the
Rlack Butte. This is not his initial
visit here and he has great faith in the
camp. He does not believe, however, in
the horseshoe theory but frankly de-
nounces 1t as rubbish. MI. Hover says
in substance: II look for the eastern
part of the district to prove up as well
as any other section under active and in
telligent development" The Dorcas mill
is now being rebuilt and Mr.. Howers
visit, owing to the press of affairs in
Florence, will be Of short duration.

Fairview camp has received a shak-
ing up this week owing to a strike made
by a OF leasers composed of II.
L. Taylor, of Goldheld. Roy Robinson.
Clyde Garrett and Monte Clark. The
ground on which the sensational discov-
cry has been opened is embraced in
blocks 5 and s, Boulder No. g." of the
wingheld-Nixon group. and is in close
proximity to the strike made by the
company on the same claim the first
part of last week. says the Fairview
News.
The lease contract was secured by the
gentlemen here named more than a
month ago, but so quietly have their
operations been conducted. that when
the big surface find was reported very
few persons in the camp knew there
was such a lease in existence. Before
the general public was aware that an
other mine had been discovered, the
process of sacking ore for shipment was
we'll under way, and the great vein of
ore had been exposed to an extent that
IL rave the pioneers of the camp a shock
when they first visited the property this
week, upon hearing the reports. Every
man has come away elated at the dis
covery, n expressing the opinion that
a second great mine that will ship pay
ore from the very start has been added
to the list of Fairview's sensational
features.
For a distance of three hundred feet
a ledge of manganese ore has been
opened-a ledge that carries high
values-and the extent of the body
justihes the opinion that the leasers
nave a proposition from which they can
extract an enormous amount of money
within the time allowed by their con-
tract. At the grass roots the ore body
is unquestionably a shipper. Develop
ment work h will be prosecuted with
an aggressive campaign must determine
as to whether the grass root values will
go down; but the opinion of mining men
of ability, who ave examined the prop
o~sition, is that every indication points
to and that the general
formation is such as to Indicate 9
greater body of ore as she goes down
while the range of values that have 90
far been secured will certainly leave ne
room for doubt that the quartz may en-
rich with depth.
AS the result OI u lO-loot III eh'

The second car of ore from the Ne
vada Hills mine was settled for at salt
Lake last week at 1928 per ton. going
the first shipment better $19 per ton.
A very close check has been kept on all
the ore sacked so far, and the returns
from both shipments have been highly
satisfactory. There are now two other
shipments on the way to the sampler
and even better results will be heard
when they reach their destination. In
the meantime much interest centers in
the rich shipment hat is being made up
here to be forwarded. 1t will be a $1,000
per ton shipment or better. Contrary
to the usual rule, the Nevad Hills COM
pany has chosen to prove the mine a
good shipper with average ore first. and
to make a selected shipment afterwards.
This is as 1t should be for the good OF
the camp. Now that 1t has been demon
strated beyond question that the ore
carries big shipping values, the selected
shipment tina is to be made cannot
leave the general public in doubt as to
the real virtue of the mine. as Is al
ways the case when the high grade Is
sent out first.
Meanwhile, as the days are going by
good progress is being made in the
crosscut tunnel. The air shaft, COM
pleted ten days ago, works to perfec-
ton, and as soon as the pipes can be put
in position to conduct fresh air to the
face. the miners will have every facility
except machine drills. which cannot be
had. They are now well into thel edge.
and are approaching very near to the
big vein that should be found on the

the ledge is about 100 feet wide; 1t is a
very hard quartz that confronts the
men, so that the progress is much
slower than 1t was before they cut the
hanging wall two weeks ago.

aoLDFIELD KEwANAs

The Goldfeld Kewanas Mining COM
pany splendidly equipped with skips,
hoist and a very substantial gallows
frame is sinking an inclined shaft upon
a ledge IL feet wide which returns good
milling values. The shaft is down 225
feet and drifting will soc begin. The
property now employs five men and the
force will soon be increased. The COM
pany's officers are H. H. Clark, presi-
dent; w. ]. Douglas, vice president; H.

Some very good values are being

NEVADA LEASING COMPANY

The 6-foot ledge that was discovered
In the crosscut from the 200-foot level
of shaft No. / on the Nevada Leasing
company's Florence lease has now wild
ened out to nine feet and the assays are
increasing in value. This ledge has just
been encountered in the crosscut from
the 150-foot level. None of the ore that
is being sacked runs less than $50 to
the ton.
This lease bids fair to rank with the
big ones in the production of ore.
