RATTLESNAkE CANYON NEWS
The New Camp in the Hot Creek
Range Hopes to Secure
Railway Facilities

Tonopah Miner, October 81: H. Q.
Mensendieck, the we'll known mining
engineer, returned to Tonopah last week
from Rattlesnake Canyon. This camp
is situated in the Hot Creek Range,
about 20 miles east of Tonopah. Mr..
Mensndieck is superintendent for the
Kansas City Mining Company, a close
corporation, which owns IL claims On
each of which there is a ledge, and is
operating in that district. Other com
panles which are interested in that
section are the big Tonopah Mining
Company and the Keystone Mining
Company. which owns ground adjacent
to the formers. Work has been going
On there for a year and a half and there
has been considerable development. On
the property of the Kansas City Com
pany an incline shaft Is down ON n ledge
to a depth of 1870 feet. following the dip
Of the ledge at an angle of 80 degrees.
Two other shafts are down 80 feet each
aud several tunnels have been run. The
quartz lodges, which carry silver and
copper. with some gold. lie between
lime and porphyry. Geologioally speak
ing, the district ia a very interesting
one, the formation giving an excellent
example of what is known as secondary
enrichment. A few rich pockets are
found on or neal the surface. but, to
reach the big ore bodies. it is necessary
to go down about 800 feet to the perma-
nent water level. Consequently Rattle
snake Canyon cannot be regarded in
any sense Of the word as a poor mans
camp. Though the ore in places goes
as high as $500 ON the Kansas City
property. as a rule it is comparatively
low grade, averaging about $50. For
this reason it will be necessary to install
a mill and concentrating plant. 1t is
stated, however. that the Tonopah Gold
field Railroads line from Tonopah to
Ely will pass by the mouth Of Rattle
snake Canyon and in that event it will
be possible to make selected shipments
of ore to the smelter. The district is a
very pleasant one. there being plenty
of wood for fuel aud mining purposes
aud water being found at a depth of six

THE BASKET SOCIAL
School Entertainment Saturday
Night Melted 1929. so Toward
Paying For New Piano

The basket social given by the Eu-
reka public schools last Saturday night
at the Opera House was in every way a
complete success.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
orchestra began the opening number Of
the programme. and from that moment
there was not a break of any kind in
the gaieties of the evening until the hour
of closing arrived. The farce enacted
by theft ur lady teachers and foul young
men Of the town was perfect in every
particular. and reflects much credit
upon these young people as well as
upon Mrs. T. A. Burdick. who had
charge of the training. The house was
filed, yet throughout the entire even
ing the order was excellent, and all
present had an enjoyable time.
At the close of the farce the orchestra
played a second selection; then the
sale of the baskets began. Bert Hender-
son collected the money, Will Swick
delivered the baskets. and Principal A.
b. Lightfoot proved himself a qualified
salesman in the matter of auctioneer-
ing. The baskets sold for from 81. so to
$3.50 each. and averaged about "a
The proceeds from this sale alone
amounted to $138.S5
After the sale, coffee was served free
and ice cream aud cake were sold by
members Of the school. Although the
price of admission was only 20 cents for
adults aud 10 cents for children, the
total returns for the evening were
$254.5 80. The expenses were $l7 for the
Opera House ana IS for printing and
incidentals.
The purpose for which the money is
being raised is the purchase of a piano
for the schools. An excellent instru-
ment will be ordered as soon as ar
engagements can be made. The teachers
hope to get a piano admirably suited to
school use for $3.50 and the old piano.
Another entertainment will be given
later in the Winter to raise enough
funds to make up the required amount.
The teachers are to be congratulated
on their success. and the people Of Eu.
reka are to be congratulated on having
teachers who take such a degree of in.
terest in the welfare Of the schools.

Both teachers and pupils unite in ex-
pressing their thanks to the patriotic

social such a success. The spirit man
ifested by q few in the purchase Of
several baskets each. and paying a good
round price for them. is appreciated. If
