duced 100000, 600 Worth of Gold.
The remarkably rich lodes of the
White Horse district are considered a
marvel by all who have examined this
wonderful mineral zone, yet it is not
surprising, for it is positively known
that it is the extension of the Com
stock lode, which has produced
$500, 900, 900. White Horse has phe-
nomenal showing, and at depth the
veins are very much stronger and
carry fabulous values. At depth of
400 feet below the apex of the zone,
there are veins eighteen feet wide
which carry ore that fairly spsrkles
with the glitter of gold. White Horse
has much better showing than any
five districts in the State of Nevada.
Quite a delegation of representative
men visited this district last Friday
for the purpose of making an exhaus-
tive examination in order to demon
strate to their own satisfaction the ac-
tual value of the mineral lodes. The
party was composed of Hon. John
Sparks, Gov. of Nevada; Thomas Ram
sey, we'll known operator, who has
vast interests in Tonopah, Goldfield
and Bullfrog and after whom the rich
Ramsey district was recently named
James FL. Nevin, bullion tax collector
of the State of Nevada; D. s. Taggart,
general freight and passenger agent OF
the Southern Pacific with headquar
ters at Reno; William Cam OF the
Cam Drug Co.; Fred Grob, Cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants Ma
tional Bank; Frank Hatton, G. E.
Bingham, one of the proprietors of the
Nevada State Journal, and N. E. Lins-
ley, mining operator of Kansas City.
The party left Reno on the early morn
ing train, and az Wadsworth took car
riages for the goldfelds, VII re they
lunched at twelve o'clock.
The party was met at Olinghouse by
W. L. Stevenson, general manager Of
the Green Hills Corporation; Geo. w
Nloyd, manager of the Keystone-Ne'
vada; j. NJ. Thomas, Jr., manager o.
the Belcher Mining Company; Edward
l.. Half, mining engineer; o. M. Pu
dor, Manager of the Texas Nevads
Mining Company, and Will Kearney,
Manager of the Springfield Nevada,
and these gentlemen very courteously
extended an invitation to the party tC
visit all of their properties.
The Keystone-Nevada property was
the first one visited, and on the dump
Manager Lloyd stated to the party
that the mine and everything In it wal
at their service, and it was his pleas
ure too for them to make full exam
ination and such tests as to them nigh
seem proper. 1t was only a momen
later that the party was going in every
direction, down wines, up slopes anC
along the levels, looking at the or
shoots and digging at the rich streak
with their pocket knives, and, withou
doubt, the showing which they found
was such as will be remembered TO
many a day. Strong shoots every
where and within ten minutes eacl
one of the party had already pickle,
out with his pocket knife a sample O
ore that fairly glittered with free gold
and Governor Sparks was at wor
pounding out in hand mortar and pan
ming the material in order to max
even a more thorough test of the va
ue of the ores.
The greatest depth attained is sabou
400 feet below the apex of undergroun
development. In this property ther
are very often encountered shoots {
wonderfully rich ore, great deal of
showing chunks of gold sticking oil
of the ore. To say that the party wei
astonished gives but faint idea
the real view of the showing in tn
big property, for big it certainly i
