MOUNT GRANT NEWS.
Many Men at Work and Some Fine
prospects Being Opened 10.


The Tonopah Development and
Exploration Co. has had its ex-
pert, Mr.. Beach. in the Mount
Grant district for the past two
months, and he has sampled near
ly all the prospects in the vicinity,
including the Webster and Hitch
ems mine. Mr.. Beach returned to
Tonopah this week. He predicts
great future for the Mount Grant
district and believes that many
valuable properties will be opened
up there.
T. B. Gamble has struck some
very rich ore in one of his claims,
assays going from $Ioo to $500 per
ton. He will shortly put on a
force of miners.
The Dumontelle property has a
big bunch of good ore in sight and
in all probability will sood put
some miners to work.
H. S. Morgan has a fine show
ing at the Devils Gate and has
several men employed
Ed. Kreisel has a good showing
in his copper mine, about three
quarters of mile south of Joe
Mathews ranch. He has a two
foot ledge of ore which runs from
E to 80 per cent. in copper, so
ounces in silver. and from 81 to
$I2 in gold. Several tons of this
ore are out on the dump.
Dickey & Co. have good
showing IN copper about three
and one-half miles from Morgan's
ranch.
There are quite number of
prospectors at work in old Wash
ington district, and some galena
lodges are being developed which
carry from 40 to so per cent. lead
and good values in silver.
o. H. Peartree, the veteran
prospector of the district, has
some very rich ore in his claim.
The ledge is not large, but you
can see gold all through the rock
and assays run as high as $1,000
to the ton. Some of this white,
honeycomb quartz sent to this
Office is lousy with gold. You do
not have to pan it out, you can
shake it around in a sack, pour
out the dirt upon a white paper
and by blowing the dirt away have
a fine string of gold on your paper.
Messrs. Shields and Morgan are
some men on the old
WATSON claim at Mount Grant.
Several mining men from Tono-
pah have been visiting the dis
trict the past week.
Mount Grant is an ideal Sum
mer camping section. There is
plenty of wood and the water is
excellent, pure and fresh from
springs and mountain streams.
Game, in the shape of sagehen,
quail and cottontail, is abundant,
and several deer have been seen
during the past week. The eli
mate is delightful, and no more
healthful place can be found in
the State to spend the Summer
