LIKE TonoPAA's EARLY DAYS

The Quo vadis is a mine. 1t is
great property. For the benefit OF
those wiseacres who knew II all and
prophesied that it would not go down,
and that 1t was but boom proposI-
ton, the Times will say that 1t does
go down, that the Quo Vadis grows
richer and better and larger. and that
1t is justifying the anticipations OF
those who banked their faith on 1t.
And what can we say to that
learned expert who in so learned a
manner, like "a wise man from Mar
bonne," did explain why as mining
man he could have nothing to do with
that section. Phew! what strange
things one comes across in lifetime.
The early days of Tonopah are be-
ing duplicated in the Vincent district.
The wise 90 know it alls went away
and had the pains for their conipen-
sation, while those who maintained
confidence and persevered will reap
the rewards and benefits of fortune.
The foregoing observations are per-
tinent from the fact that 1t is well to
remind the knockers brigade of their
complete hindsightedness from fact
that their pretentious contentious are
all wrong here as they were at Tono-
pah and Bullfrog and Goldfield.
The writer made visit within the
past few days to this great property
the Quo vadis-and what he saw is
evidence of added wealth to surface
demonstration and what the shaft ex-
posed.

but what is more. the very rich chute

FROM COLORADO RIVER.
Boulder Canyon is Looming to the
Front and Has Good, Rich Ore
to Ship.

G. A. Lane, the well-known mining
man and discoverer of one of the best
gold mines along the River Belt. came
in from Boulder Canyon this week.
The property he is working has a
great lead the outcrop of which is
traceable for 1900 feet and samples
good values along the vein.
He is driving tunnel on the lead
with ore from commencement. The
distance attained on this exploration
work is fifty feet. In the face of the
tunnel is five feet of ore that carries
gold values way up. 1t is milling
feature.
Mr.. Lane says that climatically the
low bends are comparable only these
days. with that hot region that we
have heard so much about in our Sun
day School days.

FROM PoTosI BELT.

r. ID. Baker was in town this week.
He has a number of good prospects
northwest from the Potosi mine and
to say that he Is enthusiastic over his
showings is putting 1t mildly.
In one group he has eight claims,
with a lead five feet wide traversing
1t. At the front where he and his
partners have done their main develop
ment work they have five feet of zinc
ore that returns. according to assay
slips, $3S per ton value. 1t is such a
good exhibit of that end as to convey
the idea that there are other great
properties in that section besides the
Potosi mine.

as beautifully and just as rich rs she
did on top. Great Yes. It just makes
one blink to see e. So much for de-
velopment' In general.
The shaft is keeping pace with the
good presentation Of the tunnel. The
prosecution of work there shows a
corresponding improvement. and the
punches Of ore in sight. providing the
onlooker owned 1t. would convince
him Il will get millions out OF this."
The development work so far shows
improvement and indicates long
lease as q producer in the Quo vadis
group.

interest In the adjacent quartzite and
limestone districts, where silver and
sulphide ores are found. At the pres
ent time the ores from these districts
are largely shipped to Salt Lake. and
are paying the heavy freight tariff that
only comparatively wealthy ores are
able to bear. Now. in mining opera
tions the prevailing condition. and one
that is weil-nigh universal, is that
where rich ores are present In great
quantities. leaner ores are present IN
stiIl greater quantities. Therefore. we
have abundant reason to assume that q
cheaper method of treatment will at
once manifold the available ore re-
serves in many districts that so far
have been mined only for the highest
grade ores they were able to produce.
at is a noteworthy fact that silicious
ores shipped from these districts are
worked In lead furnaces. and this sug-
gests the possibility of working the
low-grade silicious gold and silver ores
with the low-grade silyer-lead ores at
points within the district, where they
may be conveniently assembled and
smelted, and thus reduce the, long-dis-
tance haul and excessive freight
charges. making it possible to work
some of the large bodies of low-grade
ore which cannot now be handled
