In addition to the four mines now
being operated at Pocahontas, the
company is now busily engaged in
opening up It's new plant at Boisse-

These new mines will be reached
by the new railroad, now in course
construction from Pocahontas west

GoLDFIELD MEN MAKE
BIG SALE AT SEVEN TRoUGHs

The sale of the noted Fairview group
of claims at Seven Troughs by the dis
coverers, William Kavanaugh and j. ].
Mackedon of Goldfield. to senator Smoot
and a number of other Utah capitalists,
marks a deal of the utmost Importance
to tina district and Humboldt county
in general.
Mr.. Mackedon, who was in Winnie
mucca last Friday on a business mis-
sion, stated that the deal as above stated
was a practical certainty. He left that
evening for Lovelock, where the first
payment was to have been made the
next day by Mr.. Holbrook, the repre-
sentative of the purchasers.
The terms of the sale are said to be
$4,000 in cash, the payments to cover
a period of three months, and 100, 900
shares of the stock of the company.
The Fairview group is that on which
the rich discovery was made by Messrs.
K~avanaugh and Mackedon about two
months ago. A streak of ore said TO
run as high as 100000 to the ton in gold
was uncovered and a number of sacks
of this rich slug were taken out. The
owners refused a number of tempting
ogers for this property before finally
accepting the one made by the Utah
capitalists.-Humboldt Star.

LUDWIG AT YERINGroN
If RICHER THAN EVER

For the past several weeks no azurite

mine at Yerington and Superintendent
]. b. Summers and others have begun to

eral will be found. During the past sew
eraI months some of the finest speci-
mems ever seen in the country have been
found at the mine and orders for several
thousand pounds are now awaiting to
be filled.
The fine specimens o fthe mineral sell
from from 81 to So a pound while others
bring from so cents upwards. The Lud-
wig has now reached a depth of 600 feet
and the deposit of copper is apparently
richer than before.

Paralleling this monster dixie are a
number of lodges of scarcely less
breadth. the more noted being the STRAY
Dog-Union No. 3, the Broncho-Mustang,
the Manhattan Combination. the Seyler-
Humphrey, the Manhattan STANDARD and
the Manhattan Consolidated Extension.
OF this sextette the Stray Dog-union
No. 9 lea has been the most extensively
worked. From it's shoots ore of re-
markable richness is being mined and as
the more valuable portions of the de-
post are broken down and sacked a
large and constantly increasing tonnage
of high grade mill quartz is left stand
ing in the workings. It is estimated
thai the ore thus exposed in the Union
No. . and Stray Dog mines together
with that in the Jumping Jack and In
dian Camp, neighboring properties, has
a value of nearly $4,000, 900 and that
figure is considered conservative by
mining men who are %conversant with
the underground workings of the four
mines.

shaft at the 2OOfoot level, in two directions. Only a short distance to

than $40 per ton on the surface. One ledge cut by the vertical shaft
on the 60foot level averages $3.50.
