Johnnie, New, Sept. 25.-The rich ore
ledge discovered on the Globe-Johnnie
property is getting to be a bigger thing
every day. The ore maintains its
strength and value and more of the rich
rock is being disclosed with every
stroke of the pick. The ledge in the
upper tunnel as shown by the work is
about twenty feet long. ten feet of
ledge as far as it has been followed has
proven to be three and a half feet wide.
In the Bonanza shaft this ledge appears
just as wide and just as rich. The up
per tunnel will tap this shaft at a dis
lance of about eighteen feet and has
about twenty feet more to run. When
the tunnel enters the shaft it Will dis
close a ledge that will be proven eigh-
teen feet deep, three and a half feet
wide, about thirty feet long and assay
ing into the thousands. Besides there
is a tunel that will tap this vein at
fifty feet but this is not yet far enough
advanced to enter the rich rock. The
ledge is considered so valuable that an
armed guard is stationed at the mouth
to protect the treasure from theft. The
ore is so rich that it would be easy work
to take away a hundred dollars in a
few hours.
Not only is the Globe making such a
good showing but the Johnnie Consol-
dated property is causing excitement.
ore has been struck in the 700 level.
The change in the formation was en-
5000 1o~t xvaab and tho other daU Sinner
~intendent Moser announced that he had
entered the pay rock. Moser has taken
some of the rock for assaying but as
yet has not finished his work. On the
500 level the north crosscut went
through an ore body six feet wide that
assays S22. With the discovery of ore
on the 700 level it proves this property
to be one of the biggest in the state of
Nevada. The main shaft is down 700
feet and in ore all the way. Besides the
company has about 5000 feet in drifts
and crosscuts which disclose 500, 600
tons of good milling ore and some high
grade.
The Leadville-Johnnie is showing re-
suits and Manager Thomas has about
half a carload sacked that will average
between SIS and $50 and when he gets
the other half sacked he will make a
shipment to the smelter. The main
shaft has followed the ledge and is now
down about 40 feet. The ore averages
in the different metals between $50 and
$40. A second shaft has been sunk
about twenty feet from the main shaft
and for a depth of IL feet shows the
same rock as the main shaft. Between
the two shafts the ledge has been
stripped thus proving the continuity.
Adjoining the Leadville-Johnnie. the
New York group Of claims has been
sold by William Schmidt to a Los An
geles syndicates, headed by Robert At
kinson for $4,000. The group of claims
includes the famous Hieland claim
where the original owners made their
first stake. Since the transfer many
nave tried to get a lease on this claim
from tho new owners. but Atkinson,
who is on the ground. says that no
leases will be let as the new company
contemplates development On their W
ccount.
The famous Bowler lease has resumed
operations. Fred Bowler, the manager
of the lease returned from his trip a
few days ago and Immediately set about
gathering a crew. When he had suf-
hcient workmen. he commenced sinking
