PALMETTO DISTRICT
Heavy Rain and snow Falls Rstard
work at the Various Properties and
In some Instances Enforce
C1oaa Down

An almost constant recurrence of
snow and rain falls has retarded min
ing operations in the Palmetto country
for the past two weeks and in some in
stances. where no protection Is afforded
the top men. forced the abandonment of
development. So far as work has been
prosecuted the various properties have
responded well both in vein ~permanency
and In gold values. Notwithstanding
unfavorable climatic conditions, how
ever. the corps of prospectors in that
section is steadily increasing and the
commercial interests of the camp are
constantly enhancing in value. Every
indication points to the fact that the
prospective stage of the Palemtto dis
trict is numbered with the has beens4
and that the coming summer will be
productive in a number of shippers of
high grade ores.
The shaft On the Reno claim of the
Palmetto Mining company is down 80
feet and the tunnel has been driven a
distance of so feet. In the latter
drifting on the ledge is in progress
with encouraging prospects. On the
Captain Jim claim a tunnel has fol-
lowed the ledge a distance of so feet
anu III lcdu Is HOW DelnB CTOSSCuFs Inc
Alma shaft has been sunk to a depth of
so feet. In each instance promising
gold values are being obtained and the
chances for striking pay ore in place
are bright.
Wade and Maunsell are prosecuting
extensive development work on the
Lucky Strike group and arrangements
have been mad to sink on a we'll min
eralized lead. No time is to be lost in
opening up the ground and in further
ance thereof a within is to be installed.
The tunnel is in 1928 feet and will tap
the vein within % feet more of drift
ing. The property lies between the
holdings of the Palmetto & Death VAL
ley company and those of the Dixon
brothers. Excellent values are secured
from the ledge found at surface. The
c~ompany's shares are listed on the San
Francisco and Goldfeld exchanges.
Something of a surprise awaited the
operators of the Mauli tunnel as when
the ledge was tapped after rs feet of
drifting it was discovered that it has a
course entirely at variance with surface
been sufficiently explored to establish
the value of it's gold deposits.
Gillian and Franks are developing
their acreage under satisfactory condi-
ions and each has caught the lead
through the medium of a shaft. Values
pertain in shipping quantity and both
will doubtless make money from their
venture. Nearly every other lease on
Palmetto & Death Valley ground is also
showing good ore.

r DEVELOPING

II claims owned by the Utahna Gold
field Mining company about 3 miles
west of Cactus Peak, has been taken UP
under the management of Frank JAR
dine. The property is traversed by many
large bikes of quartz whose outcrop can
be traced for long distances. These are
to be ~prospeeted by means of a series Of
open cuts and when favorable location
is found shafts will be sunk and cross
cuts run out Cactus Peak is situated
about 90 miles east of Goldfeld md has
prospective value.

THE RED PEAK

On the Yellow Dog claim of the Red
Peak group of claims a 3-foot ledge is
being followed down with the shaft and
with fair success in paintings and as
says. The property comprises about 80
acres Of mineral bearing land in the
.Diamondfield portion of the district. s.
G.. McMullen and associates are the
owners.
