General Manager Siegel of the Siegel
Consolidated Mining company is back
from an inspection visit to this fascinat-
ing portion of White Pine county, New.
The fact that there are several Salt
Lake mining men of prominence owning
property near the Siegel ground, has
been kept q secret as safely as the Sic
gel company itself has proceeded 10 de-
velop a property OF great magnitude
without giving any intimation to the
ing.
One purpose OF Mr. Siegers visit to
the mine was TO procure " possible
enough teams TO haul the great tonnage
the company has placed upon their dumps
20 the railroad tracks, In this he was
partially successful. although the COM
pany has decided TO purchase their own
outfits entirely and Mr. Siegel is now
looking for three or four freight teams
as starter. Freiehting has become one
OF the most lucrative lines OF White
Pine activity Four to siX-horse teams
bring the owners In s25 day. the ex-
penses are not over 81 day per OUTFIT,
leaving clear profit day of SIS,
Before the departure OF Manager Siegel
from the mine, ct 8 point 90 feet south
west OF the main stope between the two
tunnel levels, a fine ore body was en-
countered, the exact extent of which Will
not be known until the miners have done
X

silver to the ton. and this new resource
may prove TO be not the least OF the Sic
gel Consolidated companys assets,
White Pine county has most envlable
future before it. even viewed in the light
OF the more recent developments In other
counties OF that great State. The Siegel
company has established in the most
positive manner the wisdom OF develop
Ing properties in what once was a promi-
nent mining region. Near this property
Is Schelbourne, a camp whose past rec
ord is still a household word In White
Pine. Ore from the nearby properties
was transported years ago TO Reno. and
rumor has IL that il was freghted as far
as San Francisco There are yet TO be
seen here the ruins OF the old mill and
its accessories.
Fine Mineral Zone.
From the sIcgel property TO the Ne
vada Northern railroad In the Steptoe
valley is only about ten miles, and the
railroad company at this time is laying
the rails opposite the property. Siegel
Is about eight miles south of Schcl-
toSrne and twenty miles further south,
In the same range of mountains and In
the same mineral zone. is Duck Creek.
where so many prominent Salt Lake cap
italists have secured silver and lead
properties. Taking In these camps. 10
say nothing regarding the Ely district,
one is given an eXpanse OF highly min
eralized territory whose fame is begin
ming TO bud. and which is destined TO be-
come one Of the most magnificent silver
lead regions In the entire country.
As has been remarked frequenty,~Sie-
gel. Duck Creek, Cherry Greek, Ely and
nearby regions are faYorite stamping
grounds for Salt Lake talent and money,
and this will react most favorably TO the
benefit OF Salt Lake merchants. who take
early advantage OF their opportunities.
