GOLDFIELD. New, June 24.-The
Seven Troughs mining district in Hum
boldt county, Nevada, twenty-eight
miles northwest of Lovelocks on the
transcontinental route of the Southern
Pacific and directly on the continental
route of the Western Pacific. and stu
ated at the south end of the Stone
House range of mountains, is develop
ing into q gold mining camp that bids
fair in time to rival if not surpass
even Goldfeld itself, and for its age
eXcels anything heretofore brought to
the attention of the public in the state
of Nevada.
This is promised from the ledge and
country formation, the high values as
disclosed and the general distribution
of the mines over the district, creating
a showing which investors, SPECTATORS
miners, lessees, prospectors and capt-
talists are quickly recognizing. In the
first place, the ledge formation is true
of sugar quartz, in place with two well
defined walls wherever cut and with
values going down and becoming richer
with depth. On the southwest is blue
granite dipping under a broad belt of
porphyry, through which the lodges
run. the general strike being north and
SOulH anu IllO UP ~ "SoN c1iiN SOueiA
west toward the granite. The values
occur in high grade sulphides carrying
streak of free gold, making an ex-
hibit and disclosure unequaled in later
mining history in Nevada.
Many Producing Mines
The district is today dotted by six
producing mines that have attained
| depths the values in which range gen
erallv as a starter around 5000 to $500
to the ton and from that up to such
fabulous values at $4,000 to 100000 to
the ton. The latter values have been
cut in two places, at 300 feet on the
FairvieW mine of the Seven Troughs
Mining company, one and half inches
of which looks like solid gold, and two
inches next to this that looks as though
sheet gold had been driven through the
streak in every direction from an
eighth to a quarter of an inch, and
next to this six feet of sulphides run
ming into the thousands per ton.
Next in point of value is the eight
foot ledge cut three miles north of the
FairvieW mine on the Maxuma hills
ground by a tunnel. The sulphides here
run into the thousands and Harnan of
Cripple Creek, Colo, heavily interested
In the property states that the high
grade streak, two inches wide, has all
the appearance of solid gold and will
run better than 100000 to the ton.
The kindergarten, due southeast, has
shipped thirty tons that ran $500 and

Lee in Demand

that several well known owners and
trainers. among them Paul Rainey are
negotiating with his contract owner for
an exchange. AS money is no object to
men of Rainey's class, who are in the rae
ing field for the fun of it, Lee will un-
doubtedly change his base of operations
before long.
Lee is described as the most fearless
jockey ever seen in America, and wins all
his races by tactics which might prove
questionable We're, the judges, inclined to
haggle over small points. The darkey
goes through any kind of an opening, and
when there isn't one he forces other
horses aside to get his own mount through.
However, he has been getting away with
the play, and as no set down has occurred
Lee must be able to do his tricks without
actually infringing on the rules governing
rough riding.

who won a race or two at Coronado in

STANDING OF THE MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS

the owners are still sacking the same
kind Of rock. The Buckhorn has 5000
values in one shaft and $4,000 in an
other. The Therien has twelve sets of
leasers and two of them have the high
grade. Leasers on the Fine Gold are
sacking $400 and 5000 stuff. THE Vernal
Fraction has $3.50 rock. Detch is leas-

and will develop them. All of the Ver-
nal ground is under lease, as is also the
case with the Buckhorn and several
other properties.
Another property that will undoubt-
edly be in high grade ore at an early
date is the Seven Troughs Wonder. This
company is widening it's shaft to two
compartments and timbering it to the
bottom, or depth of ninety feet The
gallows frame is being placed and the
hoist, bought in Los Angeles, is being
installed this week. In the meantime
the company is sinking a winze on a
stringer formation at the 60-foot point
and expect it to disclose ore that will
do to sack and ship. They have about
1000 feet of the same ledge from which
leasers on Fine Gold are sacking 5000
ore, but will sink their shaft to the
ledge that pitched out at the 60-foot
point, where they followed it with
about 100 feet of crosscutting and are
now sinking the winZe mentioned.
These people are very energetic and
are putting more money in their treas
ury with which to operate than most
companies are selling their stock for.
Population Is 5000
The Seven Troughs district has about
5000 people at the present time and
will undoubtedly contain 10000 by the
time the snow flies. There are already
of Importance, Mazuma, Vernon, Seven
Troughs, Farrell and Davenport. A
point worthy of note is the fact that
the ground is heavily covered by leas-
ers who cannot, with &short time
leases, afford to fool with low grade
propositions, and this of itself may be
taken as one of the best indications
regarding a camp.
Boyer, Thomas & Co.,. bankers and
brokers, 3O5 Columbia street, are put
ting out the shares of the Greater Ne

tion, in which Nevada's wealthiest
citizen, T. B. Hickey, president of the
State Bank and Trust company, is the
president and a well known Los An
geles lady, Mrs. M. M. Hinman, is vice

taken over one of the most promising
leases in the camp, being on the ground
of the Goldfield Combination.
