GOLD CIRCLE IS A
GREAT CAMP

FROM tne bduIle MOUNTAIN I1eIdlu.
"Gold Circle is one of the very
promising new Nevada camps; the
formation is of porphyritic quartz; it
can be traced on the trend of the
lode for distance of at least ten
miles; the values are exceedingly
high in gold, running from $5 to the
enormous sum of 100000 within a
few feet of the grass roots. The ores
are absolutely free milling and the
development so far only emphasizes
the fact that the camp is one of the
very best in that great state.'
Thus said Mark w. Musgrove, a
leading mining operator, and Neva-
mining congress, who few days since
visited the new field, to Tribune
reporter Certainly every condition
is favorable for big camp said
Mr.. Musgrove, "and l honestly be-
:ieve that another gold region is now
being developed. | was especially
well pleased with the fact that the
veins occur in semi-circle, or horse
shoe shape, exactly as the richest
mineral deposits occur in the Cripple
Cripple Creek district. There is also
some sylvanite found near the surface,

"This promising section has al
ready attracted many of the strongest
secured a foothold in the richest part
of the belt among them being Gov
ernor John Sparks, Bullion Tax Col
lector James H. Nevin, United States
Senator Geo. s. Nixon, United States
Senator w. A. Clark, Colonel Winfield
Scott Proskay, Al North, Chas. H.
Levers, H. w. Huskey and others.
"The original strike was made sew
eral months since by a man named
McDuffy, but he allowed his location
to lapse by failure to do the neces-
sary amount of work, and the claim
was located by Dick Bamberger, and
within six or seven feet of the surface
he took out three sacks of picture ore,
certainly the richest free milling ma
terial ever found at the surface in
Nevada. The ore is of a brown de-
composed character, and free gold abb
solutely sticks out in chunks, and an
assay showing values of from $4,000
to $4,000 per ton would not be an
unusual one.
Among the first to visit the field
liable estate in the heart of the gold
zone, and various crosscuts and
general average values of $25 a ton
trenches on this property disclose ore
shoots 20 feet wide carrying general
average values of $25 to $35 per ton
in gold. Two assays Immediately
from the outcrop give returns of
$354.S5 and $633.62. These samples
were taken from the Last Chance
group of five claims, which are now
being actively developed. Lane and
his associates also own the viii
Horse group. P. A Leamy is devel-
oping very valuable property; the
vein shows up strong and carries good
values in gold.
On the Bamberger propcrty work
is being advanced, an.! ;t ,iepth ,.f

ed. and during my visit five sacks of
this material were taken out of d
shaft then being sunk On the Gold
Standard group there is specially
good showing, and the outcrop being
very pronounced and easily followed
for distance of at least 1000 feet,
and the values run in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 to $500 in gold This is
specially good proposition, and il
was one of the first groups located in
the camp. From the fact thai the
outcrop was so strong, and the values
so high, it at once attracted special
attention
