Crescent, New, Nov. 26.-With twenty
three companies busily engaged in de-
veloping their properties and a score of
owners doing likewise, Crescent is rapid
ly becoming one of the busiest mining
camps in Nevada. From the Tiger on
the north to the Shreveport on the south,
everywhere the eye can see, hoists and
derricks are in operation. After lying
in a m state for a year save for
the operating of half dozen companies,
Crescent is now awakening to the fact
that there is a big future in store for
her. The present activity is unprece-
Tented in the history of this lusty young
camp n with the remarkable showing
of high grade ore on the different prop
critics the reason is easily discernible.
The shaft on. the Nippene mine has
reached a depth of 1926 feet and the man
agement is blocking out many tons of
rich ore for the future extraction. Spe-
cimen ore has been struck in several
places in the vein and the ore bodies are
improving in value and size with depth.
The Lucky Dutchman has commenced
prosecuting for the vein at a depth OF
1926 feet. The management expects to
catch the ore bodies in about 140 feet
of work. A carload of ore was shipped
from the estate as taken from the sur
face and Melted the COMPANY a handsome
profit

has installed the new 40-h-p. hoist air

II CAP


Mikulich and Smith, leasing on the
White Cap group of claims of the Man
haitian Dexter company. are lowering
their shaft we'll down INTO the permanent
pay area and as the rock in it's bottom
is hardening 1t appears probable that
the broken ore zone which always pre-
walls near surface is about penetrated.
Sinking will continue until a depth of
100 feet is gained when the ledge is to
be crosscut and drifted on.
The main ledge crossing the White
Cap group is one of the best in the en-
tire camp in point of gold values and
general naturalization, and can be
traced by it's outcrop well over into Man
haitian Zanzibar acreage. 1t has been
tested at various points on White Cap
ground and has never failed to yield en-
couraging ASSAYS and paintings.
Where opened by Mikulich and Smith
the ledge carries excellent milling values
and ore of hat character is being piled
on dump where it will be held until the
plant of the Tonopah Exploration COM
pany, now under curse of construction,
is completed. Ore is accommodating daily
and by the time the mill is in operation
the tonnage from the White Caps, Con-
solidated, Zanzibar, Pine Nut, Manhat-
tan Mohawk n Consolidated Extersion
acreages will be sufficient to keep the
stamps in constant motion for many
MONTHS, even though not a pound of ore
was received from any other mine in

EXTENSION

Arrangements are being made TO at
once develop the acreage of the Wolf
tone Extension company. The holdings
adjoin the well known Wolftone estate
and carry a continuation of the rich
Wolftone ledge. On Wolftone ground
This ledge has returned high grade gold
values both at surface and nominal
depth, and from the outcrop some of the
most valuable free gold specimens ever
found in the camp have been taken
AS is the case in a number of prop
critics in the vicinity, Wolftone Exten-
sion acreage is valuable not alone be-
cause of the promising lodges with
which it is networked. but also because
of its placer deposits. Exhaustive
tests have demonstrated that the sur
face gravel is rich in gold and that it
can be worked at profit through the me-
dunn of dry washers. In some instances
assays and paintings indicate a gold
value of $3.50 the cubic yard. The aver
age grade, however, is about 40 cents
per cubic yard. A number of applica-
lions for lease on the surface rights
have been filed with the company but as
yet no leases have been granted.

shaft is in a 4-foot ore body of a solid
and permanent nature, and at a depth
of 100 feet the deposit is to be crosscut

From the appearance of the quartz now
being mined success is reasonably as
sured.
At the 50-foot level a crosscut is be-
ing run to catch a ledge paralleling the
main vein- This ledge outcrops further
up the hill than the latter and where

Four feet of sulphide ore, IL inches
of which holds a general gold average
of $1.100 the ton, 8 feet an average of
$40 the ton and the 4 feet an average in
excess of 5000 the ton. is the record
established at the famous Stray Dog
mine within the past two weeks. Since
the find was first made a drift has been
extended for some distance on the ledge
and has marked an increase in high
grade of more than 500 per ton over
that pertaining at the point of discovery.
Saturday morning another streak of
bonanza ore was encountered in the
ledge which promises to develop into
fully as rich a proposition as its $1,100
neighbor. The new seam is located in
the south side of the vein and is separ-
ated from the first find of high grade by
about 2k feet of %sulphides carrying a
gold grade of from $40 to $50 the ton.
The streak varies in width from 2 to s
inches and assays as high as $4,000 the
ton. The quartz is literally streaked
with free gold and is hard and compact.

always been commended by the great ma

of the formation and ledge systems of
his district.
Since the big Indian Camp ledge was
caught on It's dip west at a depth of $50
feet in the shaft 1t has been followed
down for more than 20 feet and with
each foot of depth gained there has
been a marked increase in the per cent
of sulphides and an inconsiderable In
crease in gold values. When first en-
tered the ore body held an average gold
grade of SEQ the ton and is now breaking
at better than $40 the ton. The ledge
is standing almost vertical. and judging
from it's present position, will not leave
the shaft for at least 20 feet more of

trated a station will be cut and a cross
cut be run through the ledge TO both

drifting will begin and ultimately stop

SANTA LOLA

A program of development is being
carried out on the acreage of the Santa
Lola Mining company, which together
with the splendid mineral showing OBJ
tanning in the vein system at surface
and nominal depth augurs well for the
location at greater depth of an extensive
body of high grade quartz. Although
but a few weeks have elapsed since ex-
ploration work was begun the property
is making good. and thus encouraged the
management is preparing to install a
large power hoist and a battery of ma
chine drills.
Work is being forwarded at two
points, the King Oscar claim, where a
shaft is being sunk, and the Baby Ruth
claim. where a tunnel is the medium for
advancing development. The shaft on
the King Oscar claim has been sunk 81
feet in ore, the break of the shaft in
dicating the deposit to be a commercial
grade of mill rock. Sinking is to con-
tinue until a depth of 100 feet is gained
when the vein is to be crosscut and
drifted on in search of an ore shoot.
The tunnel on the Baby Ruth claim is
following the strike of a ledge interseet-
ing the King Oscar contact and is in a
grade of ore which can be treated at
profit under the stamps. The quartz
shows considerable oxidization near the
tunnel entrance. but as the bore is ex-
ended into the hill is becoming more
compact. The average break" is prac-
tically $25 in gold the ton. picked sam

SEDAN

Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in regarding future development
of the Sedan group of claims located in
the west end of the pay belt now that
the acreage has been taken over by the
Manhattan Sedans Mining company, the
consensus of opinion being that when
solid formation is reached the property
will make good it's early promise of be-
coming a mine OF first magnitude. The
vein system traversing the estate is one
of best mineralized in that section of
the camp and the main ledge has yielded
high grade gold values both at surface
and nominal depth.
During the summer this ledge was
opened up at a depth of 60 feet by the
former owners of the claims, assays
demonstrating the deposit to have an
average gold grade of s35 the ton from
grassroots down.. Free gold and man.
ganese are associated with the quartz
at the 60 foot level, the higher precious
metal values being secreted in the last
mentioned naturalization. The forma-
ton is somewhat broken. however, at the
point where the former owners quit
work and it will be necessary to lower
the shaft to at least a depth of 100 feet
before it can be expected to enter the
solid ore zone.

Wrestling


For the first time in a good long
while a new year has rolled around
without a wrestling match of import
ance being decided in New York dur
ing the early winter season, and as a
result the mat game has been as dead
as the language of the Greeks, with
with whom it was a national sport.
Doubtless the direct cause of this
state of affairs is the revival Of box
ing even in it's limited three-rOund
state, for certainly the many athletic
clubs have provided entertainment o
plenty of the two-man contest var
iety.
However. the turn of the lovers of
wrestlers comes this month. and for q
starter New York will have a chance
to see a bout of the top notch branch
January ~, when George Bothnei
and Alex. Swanson meet. The mattel
will, from present indications. be de.
cided in the Grand Central palace
but more definite arrangements viii
be announced later.
Other matches are in contempla.
ton, and with the Bothner-Swansol
bout as a preliminary for a season
which begins very late, lovers of the
game should have nothing to com
plain. as what has been missed il
numbers will more than be made III
for in quality.
That the go will be a hummer from
the start is a foregone conclusion
because both of the participants hav
much at take in the way of standin'
in wrestling circles. Further tina
this the match will bring togethe
two men who will make the outsid
edge weight in their respective classe
to insure the match.
AS a trainer Swanson never lets III
from the moment he is matched until
he enters the ring. Among the ath-
letes this conscientious methodical
way of preparing for a match is al
most a joke. But if giving a good
account of himself is the result both
Swanson and the public car afford to
let the athletes have their little joke.
In regard to the weight proposition
there was a great deal of dickering.
Bothner is the lightweight champion,
while Swanson holds the same rela-
tive position in the welterweight
class. Bothner wanted the beam on
the scales to register 1875 pounds,
while Swanson was just as sure the
Indicator should point to 140. The
compromise at 1879, ringside, was the
result. This alone should afford a
bout well worth seeing.
Another thing lin the dope" which
assures a good match is the fact that
Swanson has bested Harvey Parker.
On the other hand the best Bothner
could do with Parker was a draw, so
all in all admirers of wrestling have
an interesting and what should prove
a spectacular match to look forward
