MINING ACTIVITY In CAMPS
ADJACENT TO LOVELOCK
Work Being Rushed in Old Mines and Parties Outfit
ting for Develop nent Work on Locations,
Both Old and New.

While we have no great strike to
report this week, still we do have
much substantial progress to mention
in the way of development of many
mining districts.
AT SEVEN TRoUGHs.
O. T, Owens and Walter Davis
came in from their claims at the a.
bove camp Friday. Mr.. Owens had
spent the previous two weeks there
doing location work. They brought
samples of various ledges from the
claims and are jubilant over the out
look. From these samples they get
rich paintings and say they have well
defined lodges of from three to tix
feet in width. They have been offer
ed $4,000 for three claims, but have
not accepted the offer. Here's hop
ing they're milionaires.
Will Stautts is in town this week
from claims which he is interested
with Messrs. Therien, Borland and
Crumpacker at Seven Troughs. They
have the location work about finished
on their many claims there and when
that is done expect to begin sinking
on some of the many ore shoots they
have found while doing this work.
The boys confidence in the perman-
ency of the camp grows stronger with
every foot of work they do and they
have had experience in many of Me-
vada's rich camps. They say the
Seven Troughs will yet prove bonan-
"a camp.
SPRING VALLEY LIVELY. .
The Bonanza King management are
pushing the work of sinking the shaft
from the 225 foot level as rapidly as
they can with equipment. 1t is nec-
essary to keep pumping and the pres
ent pump is hardly heavy enough for
the demand. Twenty feet have been
sunk below the former level and Sup
erintendent Coons says they will go
another hundred feet before cross
cutting.
Geo. W. Dyke has received the ex-
-pected good word" from the head Of
fee of the Federal Mines Company
and is now purchasing heavy teams,
wagons and other outfit to be ready
for the work of hauling in and install
ling the new dredger which the COM
pany have decided to put at work as
soon as possible.
Messrs Pike and Leonard arrived
from Bolivar, Missouri, during the
past week and went to Spring Valley
Tuesday with supplies and outfit to
begin development work on properties
there in which they are interested
with Mr.. Hagan. These gentlemen
hold the claims upon which the big
strike vas made that caused a rush to
that district last year, and in the
work now being started they will &c
down on claims located at that time
and may find another pocket of rich
ore that will equal that found last
summer. They are prepared to do
considerable work, let the develop
ments be what they may.
Messrs. Castle & Lynch are going
right ahead with the work of putting
up their mill at the head of the can
yon and will doubtless have produc-
ing property before the summer il
past.
So the work is livening up all along
the line in that camp and many more
properties will soon be showing signi
of renewed life.
AMERICAN CANYON.
Work at the Monte Christie mint
and mill is being rushed as fast al
the supply of gasoline engine fuel viii
permit. The rush of getting supplies
into the San Francisco sufferers has
delayed the arrival of other freigh'
80 that the mill Is short of faei ant
cannot be run full time. 1t is prov
ing a successful venture and will yielC
much value to its promoters
