scEprRE

The shaft on the Murphy-Voorhees
lease, Golden Sceptre ground, is down
about 25 feet and shows a gradual i'm
provement. The better part of the
ledge is widening as depth is gained,
the streak of sugar quartz, which lies
with the manganese, showing excellent
paintings. No assays have been made
since the $33 average was secured, bur
paintings show as good values at the
present depth. The shaft will be con-
tinued to a depth of 80 feet or more
before drifting will be commenced.
This same streak of ore has been pros
pected in a drift tunnel and crosscut in
two places, showing considerable mill
ing ore, with a large ledge of low grade
quartz that probably carries better
values below. The upper tunnel, which
is being run from the east side of the
hill by the Golden Sceptre company,
will explore this ledge only 20 feet
south of the confines of the lease, AMI
it should not be many days before this
tunnel reaches the ledge. Work is
being continued also in the lower tun'
mel, which will shortly cut a quartz
ledge that crops on the surface. A
continuation of the present develop
ment on the Golden Sceptre is expected
to show lp several lodges of ore.

MAKES A STRONG FIRM

A. f. Brunbrook, president and gen
eral manager of the Empire Lumber
company, which has branch yards here
and at other points in Southern Ne
vada, and w. S. Lewis, manager of the
Boca and Loyalton railroad were in
the city this week looking over the:e
interests here. In connection with
their visit it was announced that a
large block of the stock of the Empire
Lumber company has been purchased
by the owners of the Boca 4 Loyalton
railroad, and the R. Fl ROBERTS Lumber
company. The three companies will
cooperate in handling lumber proGucts
for the various yards in wa'ca the com
p~anies are interested.

ROY RIDGE

w. Roy Ridge returned Monday
from Kansas City whore he spent the
holiday season with friends at his old
home.
81 found no little interest in Kansas
City in the development of the mineral
resources of Nevada. Everyone was
looking for information and / found
many who were more or less CONVEX
SAINT with conditions here. l expect to
see quite a little Kansas City capital in
here this spring. There is already
some Kansas City money in the camp
and I believe the future will see con-
siderable more. For a long time but
little interest has been taken in mining
enterprises, but eastern monied people
are waking up to the great possibilities
of this section and they will not be
slow in the future to get in.
"The section of country visited
was very prosperous indeed and this
NAV be said. from the information !
was able to obtain, of the entire east
and middle west. Capitalists who ar
now seeking investments at the pre-
vailing low rates of interest in the easi
will be glad of an opportunity to get
into mining properties that are as good
as those of Southern Nevada

THE DENVER

The Denver is still in the rich high
grade ore that has heretofore been re-
ported. Sacking continues at the rate
of over 1000 pounds a day. There has
been no sensational development
within the last few days, excepr that
yesterday the rich vein seemed to be
a trife better and nearly all of the rock
broken was sacked.
Drifting is still done on high grade
in the third level, the breast of which
is 80 feet beyond the winze, or 324
feet from daylight.
The fourth level, being driven on 2
small angle with the vein, is in 40 feet.
Soon a slight turf viii be made and
the vein will be tapped at about 70
feet.
The assay office is up and all is IL
readiness for Superintendent Darcy
to fire up, which he will do this after
noon.

KLoNDIKE

A very important silver strike was
reported this week from the Klondike
district, twelve miles south of Tono-
pah. On the Silver Knight claim, be-
longing to the M~arionette Mining com
pany, ore which assays as high as 5000
ounces of silver to the ton was en-
eountered on the 60-foot Level. The
vein is from 3 to ) feet wide, encased
by lime walls, the formation being
very similar to that of the Tonopah
district.
Eleven ~leasers are now at work on
the Bell and Court property and some
good shipping ore is being extracted.
A shipment of $500 ore went forward
last week.-Tonopah Miner.

THE GIBRALTAR

The Gibraltar made another toucn-
down ON Wednesday, when a giant
stride towards the goal reached by the
top notch mines of the Bullfrog district
was recorded.
This time it was in the upper, or No.
3 level. In the breast of this tunnel,
which is in about 200 feet, a vein OF
ore was broken into that shows plenty
of free gold. No tests have been made
of the new find but Superintendent
Nelson says it will run into the tens of
thousands. 1t is a fine sugar-quartz
ore, with manganese, showing all the
characteristics of the rich stuff in the
Denver and Hobo, it's neghbors. There
has, in fact, been very little difference
at any time between the product of the
Gibraltar and that of its two Bonanza
hill sisters.
Sacking has been going on at the
Gibraltar right along, at both No. 2
and No. 3 levels, the following assay
figures showing the grade of ore that,
up to the strike of Tuesday, was being
saved: Sample l, $4S5.94; 2, $42.94.
In the neighborhood of 700 sacks are
now piled up.
The breast of No. l tunnel is in $40
feet. From this the north drift has
been driven lao feet. Miners are
pounding away in each. A double shift
is also doing effective work in No. 2
tunnel.

PIPE LINE

The sewer and water mains of the
Esmeralda Sewer & Improvement com
pany haye been completed into the
city, and the company is now tearing
up the city streets for the purpose of
putting in sewer and water connections
on all the principal thor~oughfares Of
the city. An officer of the company
stated yesterday that the first of the
month would see the mains practically
all laid, and about one-half of the sys-
tenn in working order and ready for
use. Material for all the work
is now here and several hundred men
are rushing the job to completion as
rapidly as possible. The sewer system
and the water system with their vari-
Gus auxiliaries represent an investment
of upwards of $4,000.
The water supply is secured at the
Highland mine about n mile from
Diamondfeld, which has necessitated
the construction of a pipe line five
miles into the city. The sewer mains
and water pipes are being laid in the
same trenches, three to four feet TN
foreground, far below the frost level.
Officers of the company announced
this week that they would make a re-
duction in the water rates to persons
who have sewer. connections in their
houses and places of business.

From the RhyOlite Herald,
APP HooLIaAN

The ore in the Happy Hooligan has
reached the one hundred dollar average
and the vein is showing a corresponding
increase in quantity as well as quality.
A body Of tale has been encountered
which is almost the counterpart in
character to the now famous Montgom.
ery-Shoshone ore. The gold values are
of the same richness, but it contains
very little silver. This tale body is
widening every foot it is uncovered.
The men under the direction of
Superintendent C. H. Gorrill and Will
Stockton, are sinking a Wine from the
bottom of the incline shaft. The Wine
is being sunk on the ledge, along the
lime-porphyry contact. The red por-
phyry on the hanging wall is almost q
clay and the lime footwall is very soft.
This is considered an almost sure in
dication of a big ore deposit.
The work done on the property at
present consists of $50 feet of crosscuts
which expose the ledge for a distance
of 1000 feet on the surface; an incline
shaft ia feet in length, 40 feet of
drifting on the vein at the 100-foot
level and a Wine at the bottom of the
incline, 800 feet deep. A remarkable
feature of these workings is that they
are all in ore. The amount of ore on
the dump will more than pay for the
development work. Men will be put
to work Immediately on a vertical up
raise from the bottom of the incline tc
the surface and by the time this i:
completed a gasoline hoist will be on
the ground.

MONITOR

The Bullfrog Monitor shaft is now
down GA feet. Much encouragement
has been shown in the last 20 feet, as
the formation is changing for the bet,
ter. Several s~tringers have been en-
countered, carrying very good values.
and the men are now working in an
altered quartz which looks as if it must
lead to a large ore body. Its close
proximity to the Montgomery-Shoshone
makes this almost a certainty.

MAYFLOWER

Judge Lindsay, superintendent of
the Mayfower, reports that the new
shaft is down between So and 80 feet.
The shaft remains in the ledge, with
neither wall in sight, and the paintings,
which are taken after every round Of
shots, indicate that the values as pre-
viously reported are holding out as
depth is gained. When the 100-foot
level is reached, prosecuting and drift
ing will be done. Sinking beyond tina.
depth will not be resumed until the
hoist, which has been ordered, is in
stalled.

NEWS OF BULLFROG
(From the Bullfrog Miner.


Superintendent Mcdonald, Of the
Original, who returned the other day
from q flying trip to Goldfeld, Is Jas
a little vexed at the non-arrival Of the
gallows frame for the hosting plcnS.

ent is very anxious to do. He wan-s TO
go down 100 feet further and then

already done, he would be getting INTO
good values.
Until the hoist is in operation the
working force viii remain small. At
present a crescent is being run frcm

The ore is not OF a high g.ale, but
some is being sacked that will run from
$500 to $500, aal the remainder is of a
good milling quality. The ven, it is

MoN1ED MEN FROM THE EAST

The past week has seen the arrival
of a number of prominent eastern in
vestors who are looking over the camp
for the purpose Of finding good mining
properties. Each train brings new ar
rivals to the camp, and the rapid ap-
probation in the value of all stocks has
attracted the attention of mining in
vestors and other monied men frem
various parts of the country.

THE PoLARIs

A wagon road is being constructed to
the Polaris shaft, preparatory to in
stalling a 25-horse power hosting plant
which is expected to arrive any day.
The shaft, which is now down 125 feet,
will be sent down to the 300-foot level
as rapidly as men can do the work. A
crosseut will then be run TO connect
with the main shaft at the Montgom-
ery-Shoshone.

met the Roosevelt at Battle Harbor supplying
her with coal and provisions. has just reached
Sydney. The Roosevelt is badly damaged. and
as her sailing power is useless and two of her
propeller blades gone she can only steam four
knots an hour, so 1t will probably take her a

countered terrible weather and a temperature
20 degrees below zero and lost sled Of pro-
visions In time their supplies ran out and
they had repeatedly to kill their Esqumau dogs
and eat them. After being in storm that
lasted six days they killed hundred musk oxen
and some deer, which gave them provisions for
time. After being out III days they got back

vessel started home on July f. She met terrible
storms lasting sixty-five days. The topmast was
destroyed, the sails rendered useless. two blades
