| said to go well into the thousands. The
property takes in eve claims lying
Immediately north of the Golden Eagle,
commonly known as the Thompson and
Ramsey strike, which lateley passed to
Schwab interests. Those who have
made a careful examination of the sur
face showing state that outside the big
discovery of Ramsey and Thompson
which first turned attention toward the
Emigrant country, the Contact is
second to none in the new camp. 1t
was one of the early locations and the
ground was picked with reference to
its merits alone. When the transfer
was vet in the prospective stage the
present holders made a thorough eX-
animation of the acreage before per-
fecting the purchase. Twenty-seven
assays from the surface on the several
claims gave an average return of $42.
The samples were taken with reference
to arriving at a conclusion as to the
average character of the rock. These
samples gave individual returns from a
trace to over $500. There are six or
eight well defined lodges from two to
ten feet in width. The main lead has
been uncovered for a distance of 600
feet. 1t is we'll defined and is said to
give great surface promise of future
wealth. 1t is the purpose to incorpor-
ate a company at once to take over the
holdings and proceed to development.
A. v. Carpenter and his son-in-law, w.
T. Wright, left yesterday to begin
# operations. The claims are being sur
It veyed and it is the purpose of the
management to inaugurate an extern
sive development campaign.
ID THE FOUR ACES
'r The shaft on the Four Aces is down
lie 100 feet. The shaft is not in ore. 1t
will be driven much deeper before any
n prospecting is done.
THE AMETHYST
The crosscuts for the ledge at the
.e Amethyst are making favorable prog
er ress. The drives both east and west
lie are now in about 100 feet each. The
is crosscut east is cutting stringers which
Z carry good values.
Id BULLFRoG MDIAN SPRINGS
&c Very favorable development progress
81 is being made at the Bullfrog Indiar
u springs. Tunnel No. l is being pushed
a. ahead at rapid strides and is expected
ie to encounter the ledge in about Isl
y feet further. Tunnel No. 2 has un
II covered a tale body similar to tina
found in the Shoshone, and carrying
good milling values. Malcolm Mac
Is donald is president of the compan.
operating the ground.

prospects for over l, 200-horse power
engines of different units.
