NEW YORK MAN
ON BLACK HORSE
Charles Brewster Is Impressed
With Gold Showings in
This District.
san PEDRO ALREADY
SACKING GOOD ORE
MineraIized Area Gives Every
Promise of Covering Many
Square Miles.

Mr.. Charles Brewster OF New York
returned on Thursday from Nevada,
where he spent nearly one month ex-
amining mining properties in White
Pine county, Mr.. Brewster declined to
make any statement regarding the
properties which lie examined until to-
day, when he received from the local
assayers the returns on large number
Of samples. which he made personally.
Mr.. Brewster spent several days at
Black Horse and examined there all
the properties now undergoing develop
ment. He says he was very favorably
impressed with the new camp, that it
is highly mineralized district and
that he knows of no other locality in
which The ore bodies are so large, and
average so high in values.
From a large number of samples
taken from the San Pedro minc he OBJ
tanned results which only confirm what
has been already published regarding
that property From an average Of
eight samples taken from the San Pc
dro property the gold values were
S269,36, and silver nearly four ounces
to the ton, The shaft on the San Pc
dro is now down about sixty feet, with
we'll defined, nearly vertical, hanging
wall, There are several veins of ore
on the San Pedro, but on only one of
them has there been much development
Three feet of the ore in the vein re-
ferred 10 averaged from a careful
sampling of the bottom Of the shaft,
$356,6S in gold. all the balance of the
vein, nearly eight feet, is good milling
ore.s At the present time the San Pc
dro is sacking ore for shipment to the
smelter. They are just completing q
mill run Of 100 tons at the Osceola
mill, and now have over GOO tons of
good milling ore on the dump.
The San Pedro tunnel is in over 300
feet, and will cut the ledge at least
$50 feet below the mouth of the shaft
The tunnel Will probably be completed
within the next thirty days, as the
owners have large force Of men at
work. They arc, now installing com.
pressors and Burley drills, which will
be in operation during the present
month, They have also purchased n
new and complete hosting plant, with
cable and drum capacity of 1000 feet
and the same will be delivered at the
mine as soon as teams can haul it.
On the Black Horse group the crop
pings are enormous, one of the lodges
than fifty feet in height. In The face
of this ledge free gold can be easily
dlscerned and the orc values are fully
forty feet IN width There are several
parallel veins on the property, all car
rying good values. The only work done
on the Black Horse is vertical shaft,
which is now down about ninety feet.
1t is the intention to sink the shaft q
few feet deeper and then drift across
the entire width of the claim, although
thousands of tons of high grade ship
ping ore can be taken from the prop
erty without going below the surface.
On the Mable group work is progress
ing and large bodies Of very high grade
ore are being developed. A deputy
mineral surveyor is now on the ground
making survey preparatory. for APP
plying for a patent. The White Jack.
which joins the Mable, is regarded as
an excellent property, states Mr.. Brew
ster. On the Buchanan group a force
of men are at work and they have un-
covered some very rich ore. There are
also several other very promising pros
poets in the camp. From the San Pc
dro and the Mable to the Buchanan
is. fully. three miles, in fact, this great
mineralized zone appears to extend
without n break from Silver Creek to
Osceola, nearly fifteen miles
