Capt. Curtz Believes That the Section

Capt. Peter Curtz. Of Alpine county,

He lately sold his mining holdings
in Monitor to the Reno people who
are now managing the mines and mill.
In fact all of his holdings including
the boarding house and store were
taken over by the Reno peopel.
Mr.. Curtz, is interested in other
ground that he believes will make
great mines and the movement IS
now going en- 5 bringing them into
prominence
In speaking Ct the property that
he disposed of he says:
The purchasers secured a bonanza,
as has been shown by the milling
they have done. They had the good
fortune to cut a high grade ledge in
the start and this gave them hand
some Milling. They are now remodel
ing the mill. or were until the earth

LOOKS FAVORABLE
Likelihood Of Big Mining Deal Near
This City

Mr. Treadwell. one of the heaviest
;line owners IN the West has spent
the past few days at the MamOth
mine, situated at Carriers station,
city. Mr. F. B. Livingston, who has
been developing the nine for the
we'll in this property and the gentle
man has made his personal inspec-
ton Of the property.
In speaking with other mining men
regarding the property he stated that
he was favorably impressed and the
development work will be continued
which means that there is to be some
thing doing out that way.
The property is one of the largest
Tow grade schemes n the STATE. The
vein matter is from fifty to four humid
red feet through and the groupings
can be seen for miles. Millions Of
tons of ore the exposed on the surface
and the entire body gives a low assay
value such as would pay with re-
duction works of a large scale on the
a;Ound
A tunnel has been run by Mr. Liv-
ingstOn some 1900 feet in length and
this has tapped the big ledge at a
Cepth several hundred feet lower than
and shaft work that has ever been
performed on the ground The late
development of the property shows a
higher value of ore at the tunnel level
than anything found on the surface
1t was this late work that brought
Mr.. Treadwell to the property
The property IS only a couple of
miles from Carson river, which means
that electric power can be had to
do all the work when the time comes
for mills. 1t is the plan of the people
managing the mines to erect hund
red stamp mill, which will grind out
C'ose to 800 tons per day, and there
is ore enough in sight with a % cent
profit to make millions for the own
ers.
the property has attracted attention
for years, but on account OF the vast
sum necessary to manipulate it there
has been little done outside of the
prospecting. W it'll such a man as
Treadwell back of the game it is {
winner, and it close enough to Car
son to do a lot OF good
