Eastgate to Have a Mill

When the financial men who are pro-
noting the interests of the camp of
Eastgate fully make up their minds as
to the most profitable course to pursue
in treating the ores at that place, it is
not at all unlikely that mill will rise
as the result of their labors. We are
told, and on very reliable authority,
that the project has been talked over
by the men who have interests there
and the same has received very favor
able commentator. The ore at East
gate is milling ore, and while there is
considerable extremely high-grade ore
at the different properties, yet the
average ore will be treated at larger
profit by the installation and operation
of mill. The strong argument in
favor of the mill is the abundant supply
of water at the camp, and which is a
potent factor in the undertaking of the
same. There. have been some deals
there in the past few days, and some Of
the most promising property has passed
into the hands of men who are ready tc
go ahead with the work of developing
the ground. This is very encouraging
news from the camp of Eastgate, anC
we hope the project is carried through
to success. Fairview Miner.

Justice Court

John Fredericks, Jas. Ward, Thomas
Morrison, Joe Healey, and Paddy Far
rell were up before Judge j. P. Brissell
Friday morning for disturbing the
peace. The judge gave each of them a
lecture and let them go. An Indian
named Fred was sent to Jail for 10 days
last Thursday for being drunk and dis
orderly. 1t is mystery where these
Indians get their liquor, OF late it has
become a common thing to see a
drunken Indian on the streets notwith-
standing the fact that there is heavy
penalty imposed by law for selling OF
giving them liquor.

Ida Queen Mine.

w. ]. Rule, superintendent of the
Ida Queen mine near Palmetto, in
which DR.. prouty of this city is heavily
interested, arrived in this city Tuesday
and returned Thursday. He says the
mine never looked better. The new
Fairbanks Morse hoist is working like
a charm. They are grading for new
10 stamp mill and upon its arrival it
will be installed. 1t will be modern in
every respect and with it the Ida
Queen is bound to jump to the front as
paying property. 1t may be two OF
three months before the mill will be
ready to operate. This is an old prop
erty which has produced hundreds Of
thousands of dollars and with new
modern machinery it will certainly pro
duce a great deal more.

his way to Goldfeld on business con-
nected with the recent labor trouble at
that place. On Thursday evening,
Governor F. w. Hunt of Idaho, accom-
panied by L. c. Van Ripper of New
York who is interested in mining here,
and ] H. Neven, State license and

Outcome of a Fight.

Louis McFadden, one of the proprie-
tors of the Midway boarding house, was
arrested this week on complaint of his
brother-in-law, j. E. Moody, who
charged him with an assault with some
kind of weapon similar to brass knuck-
les. Moody's head was pretty badly cut
ina number of places, but as he was un-
able to establish, beyond reasoable
doubt, the fact that such weapon, OF
any weapon for that matter, was used
the defendant was discharged. The
fight was the result of family Difficult

the thousands. During the week Fred
Bowler took 104 assays across the face
of the drift in several places and
obtained an average of little more
than $156. The last wagon load to go
in the second car shipped from this
lease will be taken to the railroad early
this week and before next Saturday
will be on its way to the smelter at
Murray.
Owing to the scarcity of labor, work
on Minnie Mae lease No. a is still con-
fined to the No. shaft, which is yield
5000 rock that is being sacked as fast
as it is extracted. Robert Browne is
now making arrangements for more
men and expects by the first of August
to have full crew at work.
Minnie Mae lease No. Z is attracting
attention. Simeon Beaurogard has the
shaft down IL feet and rock equally as
rich az some of that extracted from
the Bowler and Browne leases is being
obtained. Mornings show strings from
one-quarter to half an inch long. This
makes the third lease on the Minnie
Mae claim that is making phenomenal
showing and when it is taken into con-
sideration that two of these leases are
at either end of the claim and the third
in the center and that all the leases are
200 feet by the width of the claim, il
indicates that the Minnie Mae is one Of
the richest claims in southern Nevada
George Fleeder is having luck with
his lease on the First Chance claim JUS
to the west of Minnie Mae lease No.
and though he signed his contract less
than fortnight ago, he has obtained
indications on the surface that he thinks
justify him in sinking.
Frank E. Bennett has purchased ;

STORY OF The
FRANCES=MOHAWK

In its course Of evolution from a
barren desert waste to a populous sec
tion, the Goldfeld mining district has
witnessed no more remarkable instance
of energetic enterprise than in the pro-
cess of developing the Frances Mohawk
lease at the southern extremity of the
Mohawk No. claim.
Negotiations for taking over this lease
were made and completed on the ninth
day of May last. Ten days later, on
18th, the first pick was struck be-
tween two punches of greasewood.
Work was pushed rapidly from that
time and exactly SO days from the
day on which the surface dirt was first
disturbed carload of rich ore, taken
from the 220-foot level, was delivered
to the sampler for treatment.
The first deposit of ore, which was
of only moderate richness and was
considered merely indicative of the
proximity of rich ledges proven in
neighboring workings, was encountered
on July l5, and from the hour of its
discovery every succeeding shift con-
tinued to disclose material of rapidly
increasing value, until at present the
crosscut running southwest from the
shaft has penetrated ledge of sui
phides of shipping quality to depth Of
% feet, upon which drifts are proceed
ing both ways.
Average samples taken from al
parts of this great ledge and from
which large number of assay Is hav,
been made give an average of al
assays of a trifie over $1S9 10 the ton
A hard rib was at last encountere,
, which gave from $34 to $72, but upol
passing through this vein four fee
in thickness was opened two weeks ag
which gave an average assay of$47
to the ton. A few days later
in crosscutting both ways from tn
shaft, the same shift cut ore bodies i
both drifts at the 22O-foot level, the on
to the northeast having been proven I
a width of IL feet, and that in tn
y southwest drift being still undermine
:, as to width. At 9 o'clock, Wednesda
y evening, July 25, Manager Mckay tell
. phoned the town office of the France
y Mohawk campany that he ''had it,
g and Broker Mackenzie at once drove
the Mohawk, where he remained uni
midnight. 1t was a period of excit,
~ ~ suspense, but the width of the vein al
re the assays secured amply justified u
hopes of the operators. Today t

The COLUMBUS
MINING COMPANY
The Milling Of Its Ores Will be
Commenced in a Very Short
Time and Confined

The Columbus Mining Company which
is composed of Tonopah and Hawaiian
capital has secured an option on the old
Columbus mill at Columbus and it will
be put in operation shortly. This mill
was built about fourteen years ago and
was operated for short time but on
account of the decline in the price Of
silver it was shut down. This COM
many owns the entire townsite of Colum-
bus which covers about II claims.
Columbus at one time contained popu-
lation of about 1000 people, but with
the closing of the mines it finally lost
its place on the map.
About 1000 tons of ore are in sight
in the mines Of the company, which will
average $50 per ton, from 81 to $12 of
this amount being in silver. The lead
runs from six inches to four feet in
width and the property has been de-
veloped by four shafts, three about 900
feet in depth and the fourth 180 feet.
A 900-foot tunnel has also been run
which taps the vein at vertical depth
of 400 feet, At this point the ledge is
three feet wide and shows good values.
There is ore enough on the dump tc
keep the mill running for three months.
Numerous applications for leases have
been received. A new hoist will soor
be installed and operetions will be com
menced on large scale.

The Fairview Hailstone Mine.

The vein recently encountered on the
Boulder No. claim of the Nixon
Wingfield property at Fairview has
been traced into the property Of the
Fairview Hailstone mining company of
which ]. W. Langley is secrtary. At
the point where it was discovered the
pay streak is four inches wide assaying
$270 per ton in gold and silver. 1t is
the intention of the company to i'm
mediately sink double compartment
shaft to depth of 100 feet and pros
pect the vein from this level. The
Boulder No. 8 strike is only 800 feet
from the Hailstone and three feet Of
ore is being sacked that averages
better than $3.50 ton.

Out From the Penitentiary

John Considine, the genial warden of
the Nevada penitentiary, who is well
known in this section, stopped in Tono-
pah Friday, on his return to Carson,
from visit to the southern mines. He
very courteously inquired when the
Bonanza printers thought they would
"call on him, assuring them of the
best that prison fare viii afford and the
most kindly treatment during good
behavior, and, in consideration of this
fact he felt satisfied that if they came
once they would surely "call again.

The Booth

From latest accounts the showing in
the Booth at Goldfeld, is exceptionally
good. With every foot of development
better indications are presented. The
high-grade ore recently discovered is
still holding on in manner that is
very suggestive of permanency. Those
who are in a position to know believe
that this will finally prove one of the
biggest dividend producers in the
district.
