START WORK ON
INTERSTATE MINE
New Company to Begin Sinking
Permanent Working Shaft
at Once

Under the supervision of Engineer
A. P. Mallon operations will be immedi-
ately begun on the property of the Inter-
state Mining Company. The holdings
of the organization consists OF eight
claims situated four miles east Of the
Blair townsite zeal the salt marsh.
The original locations were made by
Lige Harris from who the claims were
purchased last fall by the new company.
Immediately after acquiring the prop
erty prospecting work was undertaken
and during the period between Novem-
Der, 1905 and June, 1906, $40, 900 was
spent in opening up the claims. In the
process of development it has been
necessary to sink several shallow shafts
to determine the correct dip of the
ledge. 1t has now been discovered that
the ledge dips into the hill at an angle
of 40 degrees. A 200 foot permanent
shaft will be sunk at once and a cross
cut started. The property contains
full claims. The celebrated Drinkwater
and Mohawk-Alpine mines are but five
miles to the north. The ledge on the
property would appear to be 200 feet in
width, as shown by an opening in the
ground to the depth20 feet. The surface
exposed is 200 feet wide by $50 long, all
of which is good paying ore. BY means
of trenches and shallow shafts, the
ledge has been traced for about 5000
feet. Based upon these indications
representatives of the company have
expressed themselves in feeling safe in
saying that 200, 900 tons of ore are in
sight. The nature of the formation on
the property is principally quartzite,
although in some places calcite has
already been encountered. The latter
formation also appears to carry fair
values. From 100 assays made and the
returns on Ia tons of ore put through
the Mohawk-Alpine mill an average
value of $40 per ton has been gotten.
1t is purely a milling proposition. The

and has been declared most easy to
work. Small traces of copper have
also been found, but not in sufficient
quantity to effect milling or to warrant
any c%ognizance being taken. By the
first of October permanent develop
ment work will be well under way.
Present indications are such as to indi-
cate that permanent paying mine will
soon be in operation on the property.
This belief has been confirmed by the
opinion of expert engineers. The new
company has been organized under the
laws of Arizona, with a capitalization
of 81, 900, 900. w. d. Richardson is

DEVELOPMENTS IN
YALCALDA MINE

A main tunnel which has been run IN
about 24O feet is supposed to be along
n of the biggest lodges on the prop
erty. 1t is in connection with old work
ings carried IN by the previous owners.
After the work was recommended it
required but 6 feet of drifting before
the ore body was struck. At the
present operations are confined to min
ing TIA feet of solid ore of good milling
quality. Beginning at a point 6 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel the vein
is 6 feet wide running to 8 feet at the
end of the tunnel so for completed.
The indications point to an increase in
width as the tunnel progresses. Assays
from specimens taken along the full
length of the tunnel show remarkable
values, the lowest returns being $4S.
Crosscuts are being run from the main
tunnel to ascertain the length of the
vein. Conservative estimates place the
volume Of ore in sight at 10000 tons.

SILVER PEAK
UNCOVERS LARGE BODY

Superintendent A. A. Price of the
Golden Silver Peak reports that a very
important strike has been made on the
property. The mine is situated about
Is miles beyond the Silver Peak district.
The west drift at the bottom of 125
foot shaft has encountered a ledge
carrying solid galena, about a foot
wide. In view of the report the
Nevada Shelter and Mines Corpor-
alton, which controls the property, will
have it's representatives make a
thorough investigation Of the ground,
with the object of increasing its work
ing force. The property is without
question a high grade lead proposition.
1t was learned that a sufficient quantity
of ore is on the dump to make up a
large shipment. With the completion
of the Silver Peak railroad, the first
shipment will at once be made to the
smelters. At present a incline shaft
has been sunk. A small gasoline hoist
is in operation. Several tunnels have
also been run in the side of the hill. In
sinking the shaft, it followed a course
directly on the vein. At 80 feet a fault
was met and the vein lost. The work
was continued down to the 125 foot
level and a tunnel run to the west which
encountered the ledge. The new ledge
it is said runs 70 per ent in lead. The
corporation intends to exert every
energy in the development of the prop
erty and great results are looked for in
a very short time.

SAMPSON COUNTY NEWS.

Items of Interest from the HuckIsberry
sectIon-Farmers Too Busy to Talk
Politics.
We have been watching the COL
umns Of THE CAUCASIAN lately
hoping to gee something from some
Of its friends here in lis old home.
AS nothing appears We will attempt
a few notes. Spring has at last
made its appearance, and it is really
| pleasure TO drive out through the
| flat woods and inhale the sweet
aroma of huchleberry blooms and
anticipate the evening pleasures of
iudulging in the rich feast of tart
and dumping.
Our streets present deserted ap-
pearance just now. The farmers are
staying at home, busy preparing
their lands for big and profitable
crops, the merchants are spending
considerable time in their gardens,
the children are in school, hence
there are not many to congregate On
the streets to chew tobacco and dis
cuss the coming campaign.
By the way, our people are so
so much absorbed by high prices
for timber and good crops with high
prices that they are devoting very
little time to matters polite at
least up to the present writing the
usual large crop Of candidates for the
different county offices is unusually
small. Suppose we mention the
names of some whom we think if
nominated and would accept would
be sure Of election and would give
the county thoroughly honest, eff
Gent and satisfactory service. We
would like to support for Sheriff, Ev-
erett Turner for Clerk of Superior
Court, w. F. Seasons for Register
of Deeds, p. A. Ingram for Treasu-
rer, Clifton Ward. All Of these men
have given good service to the party,
and in all official trusts given them
have rendered faithful and satisfac-
tory service.
Now will some one else write and
state his preference Let US hear
from you, gentlemen, though it is yet
early we can at least express our
preferences for these positions.
The appointment of postmaster
for this place seems to have been
forgotten by the authorities at Wash
ton. There are three aspirants, all
of whom are good, safe men, and
the patrons of the Office realize that
their interest will be safe in the
hands of either Of the applicans and
not lose any sleep over the matter.
In the meantime Mr.. Cameron
and his efficient assistants continue
to- do business sometimes at the old
stand, sometimes in new quarters
and just after the last fire they did
really dispatch the outgoing mails
from the street, whittier they had
gone to escape from the flames.
l hope now that ye old mossback
Republicans and Pops will wake up
through old Sampson, and let us hear
from you through The CAUCASIAN.

matter. 1t is the duty Of these who
do read the papers and see this

not they have qualified themselves
to vote by paying their poll tax, and
if not, see that they do it. There i:
