SEARCHLIGHT, New, May 5.-The
Caavada Mining and Milling company
is preparing to begin active operations
on it's ten-claim group twelve miles
north of Seafchlight. r. l.. Black
burn, secretary of the company, has
been in Los Angeles to attend meet
ing of the board of directors, at which
plans for extensive development were
outlined. The company is strong
one and has plenty of capital with
which to develop. At the head of the
organization is T. f. Miller Of Los

A. Clark; w. A. Voltz of Chicago Is
vice president and c.. A. Miller treas

located near the famous st. Louis
mine, which has been great producer.
The property is developed through
4x6 shaft. which is now, down sixty
feet. The ledge is forty feet in width
and at the bottom of the shaft there is
three-foot streak averaging $3.50 per
ton. Recently three rich strikes have
been made in the immediate vicinity.
The SearchIight Midas
The shaft on the Searchlight Midas,
in which 100 feet was recently con-
tracted for, is fast nearing the water
level and the ore body is showing up
better with each shot. A double shift
has been driving the contract with
great rapidity, and when this addi-
tional 100 feet is added drift Will be
run into the main ledge east OF the
tshaft The mine is in excellent shape,
the shaft we'll timbered and the ma
chinery working to perfection. Other
properties nearby are doing consider
able development work and the fiat
east of town presents scene of great
actively. Development on the Red
Cliffe group by the Guggenheims has
proved satisfactory, and is demonstrat-
| ing that little depth is all that is
needed.

vicinity and adjoining the Calavada
Mining and Milling company. Jack
Lincke has opened up a three-foot
ledge that carries good values in gold
and silver.
Near Mob Hill and adjoining the Sill
yer Legion on the south, John Weaver,
who was one of the pioneers OF Eldo-
RADIO canyon, has returned after thirty
