made TO advertise Aura and Northern
Elko county and 70 bring in the capital
that is necessary to make one Of tho
richest mining camps in the State. We
have the ores, but it is slow work for
poor men to open up u camp.
The Walker Bros mill has run stead
lily all sunme ami has treated the ore
from the big Riddle mine in a very
satisfactory manner and will now begin
treating The rich ore from the Scbley
mine.
The new machinery is in place in the
Aura King mill and is ready for the
belts. The new roof is on and after
their biglpenRtock is completed they will
be ready to turn put bullion. The ores
will all be run over copper plates and
then concentrated or the most improved
tables. The company has three big con.
centrating properties, besides fonr free
milling gold properties. a number Of
these properties will be worked by
~leasers. Johnson and Guidici are now
leasing ON the Aura King No. 2.
H.. L. Morris is doing his work on the
Whale, which joins the Aura King No,
. on the east and is a very promising
claim.
The Iowa Mascot, owned by f. E.
Wright and r. s. Carmichael is one OF
the promising claims of the camp.

a four foot ledge Of red porphyry on
their claim, The American Eagle, yes
terday. that not only pans free gold, but
shows Free gold 70 Tue naked eye in
almost every piece. This vein is in the
same mineral belt rs The Jack Pot,

johnson and Sinclair, owners of the
Diana group, have twenty eight feet Of
porphyry that run % gold per ton but
are looking for a quartz ledge hear the
porphyry dixie, which is known to carry
rich values in gold.
The big new strike in the Jack Pot
hold its own in eize and values. Mr..
Blewitt has just cut the vein in his
lower tunnel, showing a two and one.
half foot ledge of very nch ore, an assay
from this rock, taken across the ledge,
gives 1850 nee Of gold per ton.
d. j. O'Shea and G. 8. Snider have
succeeded in tracing the source Of the
rich placer gold on Columbia Creek and
have opened up n two and one. half foot
ledge that is fabulouely rich in free gold.
Mr.. O'Shea is IN old proepector from
Alaska and is very enthusiastic regarding
the outcome Of the camp.

galena ore from his claim, the Oceanic.
