]. NJ Benham was an arrival in
Yerington Tuesday and continued
on to Buckskin the next day to
make arrangements for sinking a
Ioofoot shaft on his property, the
Buckskin Consolidated.
]. F. Won Polenz, of Goldfeld,
paid Buckskin a visit last week
and made arrangements to develop
the Original Buckskin property,
in which he is largely interested.
This property is known as the old
iron mine, located about a quarter
of mile north of the camp. Con-
siderable iron ore was taken from
this property some years ago and
used for hux while the Bluestone
smelter was in operation. 1t is
more than likely that this iron is
but Gaping for large copper
ledge or deposit, as the property
is in proven copper belt. -Four
men have been put to work sink
ing shaft on this ground, and
will go to a depth of 100 feet. If
indications prove good at that
depth a gasoline hoist will be put
ON to do further development
work.
7. Hoppin is sinking an incline
shaft on the Red Cloud claim
owned by L. Pierce and r. d.
Groves, on which he has lease.
He is now down about 40 feet on
ledge of galena and lead carbon
ate ore. The ledge is three feet
in width and is widening with
depth The ore carries about 20
per cent. lead, 80 ounces in silver
and Sc to IS in gold. Arrange
ments are being made to sack and
ship a carload of this ore at an
early date to Salt Lake or San
Francisco.
Max Neidhart & Co., who have
lease on ground west of Hoppin,
have recently opened up two
lodges of ore with shaft 60 feet
deep. One of these lodges is
north of the shaft and is three
feet in width. The other ledge is
south of the shaft and its width is
not yet known, as the crosscut has
not been extended through it yet.
1t is not yet known what the ore
assays, as returns have not been
received of samples sent out, but
it looks we'll and shows plenty of
colors in the pan. The ore also
carries some values in silver.
Jack Bell has eight men at work
on two leases on the Kennedy
Con. ground and has a shaft down
about 90 feet on each lease with
good ore at the bottom OF both
holes. He has started TO crosscut
at this depth and expects to begin
shipping ore very shortly.
r. l.. Ray has two men at work
on his copper and gold claims two
miles north of camp and has some
very promising indications.
Delaney and Corr are doing
prospecting work on their loca-
tons about a mile north of Buck
skin. They have a ledge on the
