BELL AND OTHERS MAKING A
BIG SHOWING AT BUCKSKIN

In the north central portion of the big
mineral zone horseshoe on the Blue
Ribbon group Fitchett, Kyser and
Montague show rock and paintings that
have big paying gold values.
On Red Top, Kennedy's original
strike, the values found in the shaft at
IA feet give returns in grab samples of
as high as $4,000. The rock is identical
with the richest product of the Florence
in Goldfield. In the adit tunnel which
will be driven $50 feet to connect the
shaft at 100 feet, assays as high as 5000
have been received. Both the shaft and
tunnel are rapidly increasing in values
as depth is reached. Beginning Wednes-
day three shifts have been employed in
the shaft and tunne1-in all Kenndy is
employing a force of IS men on devel-
opment work. Next week ore will be
sacked and shipped to Salt Lake.
Already 252 lots have been sold in the
camp. Water was found in abundance
at depth of feet, down in the basin
half mile east of town.
Hank Summers and Leon lie Due, two
old time Colorado miners, negotiated
the sale of the Iron Mountain mine and
turned this property and the group of
six claims over to G. F. Polenz of Gold
field The whole was pooled. The con-
sideration has not been made public,
but 1t is a good amount.
The Ajax group of three claims which
lie west of Ashley's Gold Hill group and
owned by Kennedy was sold to ]. M.
Benham of Reno Consideration $4,000
cash and 200, 900 shares stock.
A Schwab representative from Reno
was here and tried to make arrange
ments with Kennedy for the purchase
of the Red Top ground. Kennedy re-
fused to consider any proposition
]. e. Mclaughlin is in Goldfield pur-
chasing material for the work of devel-
opment on the McLaughlin-Burk prop
critics north of town. Just as soon as
the windlass and lumber can be gotten
on the ground two shifts will be put on
the Happy Thought. Long strings of
coarse and fine gold is being panned
from this ground and the values in
crease as the shaft goes down. Assays
from the claims in this group are above
the $3.50 mark.

BLACK BUTTE IS I'M
BIG BODY OF ORE

1t is reported from the Diamondfield
Black Butte Consolidated that the
miners are now working on five faces
on fiat vein of high grade shipping
ore. 1t is said that two entirely new
shoots have been encountered which
will run into very high values. At a
depth of 290 feet ledge has been
picked up which Frank M. Ish has no
hesitation in saying is the old Diamond
field vein. This was followed a dis
tance of 10 feet and under the apex
of the Black Butte a body of quartz
was opened up which gives every in
dication of being a large ore body. As
says on this rock run from SIS to $43.S0
in gold. There are about twenty men
at work on the property and car load
of ore will be shipped the early part of
next week.

WORKING RELIANCE GROUP

Captain John 7. Hassell is doing good
work on his Reliance group of claims in
the southern end of the district. His
group comprises five claims and he is
developing them by means of tunnel
which he is now driving on the Reliance
claim. He has let a contract for $2,500
worth of work, and believes the tunnel
will encounter the ledge at sufficient
depth to produce good ore. At the sur
face shallow workings on the outcrop
gave $3.50. Captain Hassell is thor
ough mining man and If there is any
thing to be found on this property he
will get 1t.

The shaft on the Kalfus lease of the
Mohawk ground is down 200 feet and
400 feet of crosscutting has been done
at the 66-foot mark and at the 150-foot
level. At a depth of 140 feet ledge SO
feet wide was cut. A shipment was
made for test to the New Western Re-
duction company. The values were not
particularly high and little development
other than that the best method of
handling the ore was ascertained.
Twelve men are at work on the lease
and prospects are very bright.

in Nevada mining stocks. In fact, we
have kilograms today from two repre-
sentative brokers in San Francisco ask
ing us to secure for them options on big
blocks of stock of new Manhattan and
Bullfrog fiotations, saying that they ex-
pected lively demand in San Fran
cisco for these stocks as soon as the
insurance companies began to settle.
again, we have 1t on indubitable au-
thority that the banks in San Francisco
will all open their doors within a few
days of the payment of the insurance
losses. Further, the president of the
San Francisco Stock and Exchange
board telegraphs that the exchange will
open within Ave days after the banks
open AS soon as the banks in San
Francisco open their doors and release
hundreds of thousands of dollars of
Nevada money tied up at present, Me-
vada banks will resume lending money
on Nevada stocks. When that occurs
we predict the beginning of one of the
strongest bull movements in Nevada
mining stocks that has been chronicled
in the history of the west.
"The physical condition of the mines
of Manhattan, Goldheld. Bullfrog and
Tonopah is improving hourly, and the
discoveries in the new camp of Fair
view bid fair to outrival anything yet
opened up in Nevada. There never was
a time when the mines looked so well.
and there never was such paucity of
cash. Therefore. as soon as there is a
loosening up of funds, stocks cannot
help but seek much higher levels"

A good strike is reported upon the
Higginson and Jones lease on the Gold
Wedge claim of the Jumbo Extension
rrroperty. The shaft has reached a depth
of 13o feet, and from this point drlIt
has been run on the ledge for ABOUT ~
feet and a very strong body of ore en-
countered. This lease is likely TO De

At the Kalfus lease on the Gold

yet but things look very good
