GREAT ACTIVITY
ABOUT GOLD RUN
SEVERAL SHIPPERS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPED AND MORE
COMING.

Ever since A. w. Hille, William
Speer and their Pittsburg associates
commenced operations on the Gold
Coin property there has been a great
deal of activity shown throughout the
Gold Run district. The starting up
of this property, the large force of
men employed at the Adelaide mine,
together with the other claims now
being worked and the ore shipments
which are going out are the very best
indications that the camp is bound to
be a winner. Men with capital be-
hind them are coming in and they
are looking for investments. There
are many booming camps in the state
that haven't one-half the showing
that there is in Gold Run. Not only
are there some wonderful copper de-
posits, but there are also large leads
of gold ore, besides edges carrying
gold, silver and lead. There is plen-
ty of good water in the district and
the best of facilities for getting fuel
into the camp for milling and mining
purposes, for, as it has often been
said, a narrow gauge railroad taps
the heart of the district. Low rates
on ore to Salt Lake City is another
thing which makes Adelaide an ideal
camp for the investment of capital
in legitimate mining enterprises.
The Gold Coin.
At the Gold Coin property twelve
men are employed by Superintendent
A. w. lille and William Speer, of
Pittsburg, Pa, who is heavily inter-
ested in the property and has a thor
ough knowledge of machinery. The
mill will start up this week for a
trial run.
At the mine ore extraction is going
on steadily and there is a large tom
mage ready for the stamps to crush
and relieve of its precious golden
burden.
Monday at noon the new shaft was
started on the upper vein. Two shifts
will work it this shaft and it will be
sent down with all possible speed.
The showing on the upper ledge is as
good as on the original vein and at
the point where the two veins inter-
sect they expect to strike a large
body of ore. Where work is going
on at the bottom of the 70-foot in
cline the ore body is improving in
width. The ore being extracted at
the present time is all taken from
drifts, no stopping whatever having
been done.
The Sunnyside.
Among the new companies to start
operations in the district is the Sun
nyside Gold and Silver Mining COM
pany, which has acquired a large
group of claims. To show their good
faith in the property they have start
ed in to do aggressive development.
The Sunnyside Is situated southwest
of the Florence property and is In
one of the richest parts of the dis
trict. Only a short distance away is
where the Majors brothers took out
ore that gave values of $1,000 to the
ton, The Florence group nearby has
ore that shows free gold as large as
pinheads. The Sunnyside group CON
sists of six claims and in a number of
openings ore is exposed that assays
we'll in gold and silver. L. T.. Ban
mister, the superintendent of the
property and resident agent, states
The Georgimac.
that they are making preparations to
run a 300-foot tunnel in on the ledge
and to do other development work.
The shaft being sunk on the Geor-
gimac property by Ruehl and Tedder
is down twenty feet, In going down
they have cut a pay streak that pans
well in gold. The shaft is being
sunk in the formation near the big
dykes and at the 50-foot level drift
ing will be started to crosseut the
lodges. Superintendent Jesse Taylor
states that the shaft will be contin-
ued on down for 500 feet after the
50-foot level is reached. He is very
much pleased with the showings on
the property and believes that they
will develop a producing mine.
The Hidden Treasure.
Jack Huston has two men at work
on his Hidden Treasure group of five
claims, southwest of Golconda. There
is a good showing of copper ore on
the property and the work done con
sists of a 75-foot shaft and an open
cut over forty feet long. In these
workings there are exposed several
large bodies of ore, some of which
: VIII run over 20 per cent copper
l The Central Nevada.
At the Central Nevada Mining
company's property, south of Ade-
laide, ore is still being sacked for
) shipment. Superintendent Tarber
states that a much larger force Of
men will be put to work and more
