STRAY DOG VALUES

The miners working in the winze sunk
in the floor of the 10O-foot level, north,
in the Stray Dog mine are stripping
slabs of quartz from the hanging wall
of the ledge that are plastered over with
free gold in much the same manner as
a greedy boy smears a piece of bread
with honey. The specimens have a
beauty and value considerably in excess
of any others ever mined in the camp
and their worth for cabinet purposes
is even greater than their intrinsic gold
value. Sulphides are largely associated
d~eepened this feature of naturalization
is becoming more pronounced.
The vein is showing 6 feet in width
and has been explored for a length of
Sc feet. This phase of development has
determined its true trend and strike and
indicates that it will traverse a good
portion of Jumping Jack ground. Sup
erintendent Ed Hoffman is elated over
this feature of the find as he is con-
fdent that he will tap the ledge in the
last mentioned acreage with but little
further exploration. He considers that
the future of the Jumping Jack is now
fully assured and has nc douht but both
that property and the Stray Dog are
sure to become regular producers of

that by spring a number OF properties

pany. n although but a few weeks
have passed since development began
the property is already booked as a
winner. A few days ago another find
was made. the point of location being
1.o0o feet north of the spot where spec
linen quartz fairly sparkling with free
gold was discovered four weeks age.
1t is on the same contact and has been
opened up in three surface cuts. In
the breast of each the vein is showing
from 3 to s feet wide and is high grade

is filled with punches of quartz pep

The tunnel of the Manhattan Mann
moth company-the largest in the entire
camps being driven steadily into the
hill. Its present length is $50 feet, the
naturalization in the breast indicating
that a few feet more of drifting will re-
suit in tapping the first of the series of
lodges crossing the estate. Gold values
have increased somewhat in the last few
feet and the rock carries considerable
sulphide and q trace of copper.

THE BABY Ruth TUNNEL

Samples taken recently from the
ledge traversing the Baby Ruth claim
gave assay returns as high as s131 in
gold the ton, the general grade across
6 feet of the vein matter being a trifle
better than $40 in gold the ton. The
tunnel on the claim is following the
trend of a ledge intersecting the King
Oscar contact. Values are increasing
as the breast is extended and minerali-
cation is becoming more pronounced.
The oxidized character of the ore, pre-
valent nearer the tunnels portal, is
rapidly being replaced by ~sulphides, a
condition which assures vein and value
-permanency. Altogether Baby Ruth
physical conditions augur a healthy
growth and ultimate development into
a full Pledged producing mine.

THE DESERT QUEEN

A plant of machinery having a capac-
ity to a depth of 500 feet has been
ordered for the Desert Queen property
and is now en- route to the camp. 1t
is to be erected at the collar of the
shaft in which is exposed an S-foot ledge
of mill grade ore that is permeated with
seams of quartz showing gold in the
free. From grass-roots to a depth of
so feet the average gold grade of the
vein is SIS the ton. 1t is streaked
with manganese having a value of $175
In gold the ton. Quite a tonnage OF
mill rock is accommodating on the dump
and will be held until the plant of the
Tonopah Exploration company is COM
pleted when it will go to mill.

TRACING THE LEDaEs

The ledge from which such phenom-
email gold returns are being obtained
has been traced for more than 1000 feet
and wherever opened invariably yields
specimen quartz. Ore is being sacked
at a number of points along the con-
tact, and were milling facilities con-
veniently at hand the entire outcrop
could be treated at profit. Paralleling
this bonanza ledge are three others of
immense proportions, each carrying
a commercial grade of mill ore. The
dip of the four is uniformly to the
west, and would apparently indicate that
they will make into one immense deposit
at depth. Upon this theory development
of the property is to be carried out
and is to be furthered by the installing
of a plant of machinery having a lift
ing capacity from a depth of 500 feet.

KING c SHAFT

A two-foot streak of ore in the bottom
of the King Oscar shaft has a gold
value as high as s200 the ton. and rock
of that grade is being sacked. Asso-
clated with the high grade is a 4-foot
body of milling quartz of an average
value of about $40 in gold the ton. A
large body of mill ore prevails through
out the main ledge outcrop and remains
with the vein to the present depth
where development is being prosecuted.
The shaft is to be lowered to a depth
of 100 feet before prosecuting. The
ultimate depth of the present shaft is
500 feet and the greater amount of
development is to be carried on in the
lower workings, although levels will
be run and the ore body will be tested
at intervals of so feet from the 1oO-foot
point down.

OF LEDGE

In character the ore resembles that
mined at the Paymaster, the quartz be-
ing so nearly identical in appearance
that it is almost impossible to differ
entiate samples from the two properties.
That the Paymaster ledge crosses Des-
ert Queen ground was established some
time since and from it's strike there
is little question but what the vein
showing in the bottom of the shaft is
a continuation of the one being worked
so successfully by the Paymaster man

FUTURE

Interest in the mining development
of the west end of the camp has been
intensified of late by the really superior
showing on the estates of the Santa
Lola. Desert Queen and Independence
Consolidated companies. Few pre-
ferred prospects in any portion of the
district offer better Inducements for
developments at depth and nom being
opened up in a more miner like fashion.
These three properties, together with
the Paymaster, are demonstrating the
worth of the ore bodies in that portion
of the district adjacent to the Smoky
Valley and there is every likelihood that
each will develop into a min Of first
magnitude at no great depth.
