Searchlight is bound to get into the
limelight, not only by reason of her
eleven producing mines, but also by
being the most progressive of all the
Nevada Mining Camps. Not content
with having completed electric light,
water, ice and telephone plants, wire
less telegraphy is to be another feature
in this fast growing metropolis.
Representatives of the Occidental
and Oriental Wireless Co, of the Pacific
coast have stations at a Diego, Los
Angeles, San Jose, and San Francisco.
They nave been in ~Searchlight for the
past few days making arrangements
preparatory to installing a wireless
station. The company agrees to install
an office, erect a receiving station, and
transmit kilograms to all of the prinei-
pal cities on the Pacific coast at a great
reduction in the present cost.
The success of the Parant company
on the Atlantic coast will undoubtedly
assure the complete development on the
Pacific coast, and Nevada will profit
greatly thereby, as stock reports can
be transmitted here within ten minutes
after the Exchange adjourns.
A weekly review of the development
work accomplished on some of Search
lights embryo mines, now in the pros
pect stage, is usually naught but facts
and figures. This week there have been
many sensational discoveries of ore
bodies in the outside districts, thereby
charging the generally recognized min
eral belt. Reports from Kewberry
mountain are very encouraging, and
the first shipment of ore from Camp
Thurman passed through Searchlight
yesterday for the SaltFIake smelters.
Ell Dorado canon echoes the news of
strikes and from authentic sources it
was ascertained that ore was encoun-
tered on the Eagle group. owned by w.
]. Kennedy, adjoining the Capitol mine,
assaying 1900 ounces in silver per ton.
on the fiat" west of Searchlight, strikes
were made on the Wyomihg -~Searchlight,
in the shaft at a depth of 2O9 feet, on
the Sunny Jim in an open cut and on
the Searchlight-Vanina in a drift from
the working shaft. AT the bottom of the
shaft on the Annette, in the footwall,
at a depth of $50 feet, specimen ore was
struck. This snug little acreage adj
Joining the Southern-Nevada, has ore
that has assayed as high as $500 per
ton.
Two miles northwest of Searchlight
in the Immediate vicinity of the estate
of the S~earchlight Mining & Milling
lies the Sunny Jim group,
owned by the Sunny Jim Mining COM
pany. This group consists of the Sunny
Jim, Sunny Jim, Jr., Talco, Big Horn,
and Old Charter lode mining claims At
the bottom of a thrty-foot shaft on the
Sunny jim, a large body of ore has
been opened up that gives an average
assay of IS in gold. The values on
this property are very uniform, and
have been found in every cut opened on
the four Parallel veins. There are
three different lodges traversing the
sunny Jim claim. and surface assays
run as high as $50. which speaks vol
umes for a prospect in this section OF
the mineral zone.
Frederieks & Co. have taken a con
tract to sink a shaft 81. in the clear
thoroughly timbered to,water level.
Development is proceeding very rapid
ly on the Duplex Extension. adjoining
