have inaugurated a vigorous plan Of
development, several leases have
been let, and already a number of
fine bodies of gold and silver roe
have been opened up. An enormous
quartz ledge, which the former own
ers regarded with indifference, has
been found to carry good values in
gold. They will soon begin the cree
ton of a mill on Indian creek to
treat their low grade ore, large bodies
of which have been blocked out.
Several shipments of fine ore have
been made from the Utah mine, To-
Gated above the town of Lander. The
Utah is the property of the Lander
Mining e. Milling company in which
r. l.. Colburn, Lee Lakin and James
Cain of Goldheld, are the principal
owners. The vein Of the Utah is a
assure from one to three feet wide,
the ore averaging about 800 in lead,
copper, silver and gold.
"A sensational strike was made
last week on the st. Lawrence and
Anaconda claims, recently purchased
from II. II. Hale and others of Reno
by Colonel e. A. Braden and E. F..
White of Goldheld and Charles
Scheile of Colorado Springs. In
trenching the surface two strong
veins have been uncovered which give
sensational paintings and assays run
ming as high as 5000. 1t seems GER
tain that this property will develop
into one Of the best mines in the
district.
In the northern end Of the district
the principal development is on the
Black Rock group, belonging to the
Bullion Mining company of which
F. r. Marsh of Colorado Springs is
president. Contractors are engaged
in sinking the shaft on this property
100 feet, and a hoist will be put on
as son as the contract is finished.
Some sensational values are obtained
in the Ground Squirrel property,
near the Black Rock, belonging "a
Eckman & Foller. The Raven
company is developing a group Of
claims Just north Of Lander and have
a very favorable showing. The
Bridal Wreath and Uncle Sam prom.
critics are being worked by Messrs
Manion and Montgomery under a
bond and lease. Three or four differ.
ent veins have been opened up on
this property which show values al
the surface of from one 20 three
ounces in gold, and these values i'm.
prove rapidly as depth is gained.
The Elko Telegraph & Telephon
company is now engaged in con
J ~structing a telephone line from Beo
wave into the district. All the ma
