eral improvements now in progress
make the Shoshone a pretty busy
place, nevertheless. The new mill
and assay office, 20x30 feet, is going
up, a seventy-fve-foot gallows frame
is being framed, the compressor and
boiler rooms are nearing completion,
together with the trestle for the tail
ings conveyor, concrete foundations
are being laid and the cyanide tanks
are being placed. Pipe is arriving
for the water line, pre- is being load
ed direct into cars, and the iron horse
is making daily trips to and from
the mine up the long and steep spur.
The big three-compartment shaft
has passed the 400-foot level, max
ing connections with the old 400-foot
workings. The waste dump of rhyo-
lite, which is being crushed for the
concrete foundations in the compress
sor and boiler rooms, carries values
from 81 to S. when screened, a fact
which is unimportant except to show
that the big hill is pretty thoroughly
impregnated with the precious metal,
even in the country rock. Every
thing is practically ready to receive
the big double-drum steam hoist and
the ten-drill compressor. The plans
include two 100-horse boilers, and
oil will be used for fuel. The mill
will be operated by electricity. The
big 100, O00-gallon tanks, one at the
mine and one at the pumping sta
ton, a mile distant, have been fin
ished, and the lower tank is filled
with water.
The Polaris drift, mention of which
was made in the Herald three weeks
ago, continues to show a full face OF
shipping ore, the drift having been
in excellent ore for more than 800
feet. The Shoshone camp includes
twenty buildings. The working force
is nearly 100 men.

pile continues to grow. Eight hun
dred sacks were loaded Monday.
The most remarkable feature in
connection with this fabulous output,
Is the fact that practically no stopping
has been done, but all this ore pro-
duced in development work.
Much more development work is
being done in the camp of Fairview
on such properties as the Fairview
Eagle, Eagles Nest, Aztec, Hailstone,
st. Paul, Kimberly, Fairview Central,
Red Rock, Ida Mines, Golden Slipper,

GETTING IN AT sKIDOO
Mine-O owners of Alaska Buying in
Southern Camp

Lindblom, Linderberg & Co., the
multi-millionaire m~ine-owners of
Alaska, have set their stamp of APP
prevail upon the Skidoo camp
and will become identified with its
future mining operations. The Lind
bloms were the first l%ocators at Cape
Nome. They promoted the famous
Pioneer Mining company, one of the
biggest dividend-paying gold propo-
sitions in Alaska, in fact 1t is second
only to the Treadwell.
John Lindblom is here. He has
been looking over the district less
than a week, but has seen enough to
convince him that it is the greatest
gold camp on earth and he has sent
a message to his associates at Oak
land advising them that Skidoo is
the ideal place for the profitable in
vestment of their Alaska made mill
lions.
Mr.. Lindblom's visit to Skidoo was
quite unexpected, on his part, until
very recently. About three weeks
ago he had occasion to visit Manhat-
tan and n or two other Nevada
camps to examine certain properties
whose purchase his company was con
t%emplating, and on that trip he heard
of Skidoo. Failing to find anything
to his liking in the other camps he
came on to this place out of curiosity,
and says 1t looks good enough for
them to stay with. He says it dis
counts every other gold camp in the
desert region by tremendous odds.
1t is too early yet to say whether
the Lindblom millions will be used
to purchase partially developed
mines, in leasing propositions, or in
locating and developing virgin
ground. A little time will be re-
quired to study the situation but they
have unlimited capital to handle any
proposition they nay decide upon. At
any rate, Mr.. Lindblom says they are
in here to stay and do business

Famous Property Presents Busy
Scene in Shipping Its Ore
The Montgomery Shoshone Consol-
idated has been shipping at the rate
of n carload of ore a day for the
past two weeks, says the Rhyolite
Herald. Wednesday two cars were
sent out. The management expects
to continue the daily average until
the mill is completed, which may be
by the first OF June, depending, OF
course, on the arrival Of the machin-
cry, which should be out of the Salt
Lake washout next week. The COM
pany is now shipping at the rate OF
from 1900 to 1900 tons a month.
This ore is coming from the old
dump, which contains between Is, 900
and 10000 tons. 1t will be remem-
bered that, of all the thousands OF
tons of good ore piled on the Sho-
shone and Polaris dumps, none has
been taken out by stopping, the dumps
representing ore removed in develop
ment only. The stopping reserves in
the Shoshone and Polaris working
are intact and undisturbed.
The washout on the Clark road has
delayed the construction of the mill
fully seventy days. Not a pound OF
mill machinery has arrived since the
washout mor a month ago, except
a few cars that we're on the Las We
gas end Of the road. The last car
load of machinery, consisting of rolls
crushers, that has been landed at the
mine since the completion of the spur
has been unloaded this week. Cen

RICH STRIKE AT ROSEBUD
Makes Big Bonanzas Pale Into In
Significance

The late strike on the Brown
Palace is easily the overshadowing
topic of the camp. And well it
should be, when it is considered
and this without the slightest lean
ing to the side of exaggeration-that
it has every appearance of equaling
in extent and value any strike ever
made in the mining history of the
state.
Right at the surface, where the
mammoth ledge has been uncovered
on the Brown Palace, there is wealth
in sight that would make most of the
big bonanzas pale into insignificance
in comparison. In this shallow sur
face trench the ledge has been cross
cut for a distance exceeding twenty
feet without encountering the other
wall, and this is all ore. Specimens
from this ledge are full of the brittle
silver nuggets. They look the same,
and the ore appears to be as rich as
that which Phil Blume first broke
from the groupings at a point fully
100 feet distant from the present
strike-the wonderful ruby silver
stuff which made him rich and the
Brown Palace famous.
The richest ore seems to follow the
footwall of the giant ledge, and along
this course another trench is being
run. On this side is disclosed several
feet of ore which could be sent to
the smelters without sorting; what it
will assay has not been given out, but
no experts eye or the assay furnace
Is required to determine that ore
which is shot full of nearly native
silver will go up into the hundreds
in value, If not to exceed the thou
sandth mark.
These r only the plain facts. Let
those who have tn be shown come to
Rosebud and be shown. They will
see enough to make their eyes bulge.
The developments on the Brown
Palace alone are enough to make
Rosebud a great camp, but there are
others. Consider also the White
Alps. the Dreamland, Golden Anchor,
and the Rather, to say nothing of the
strikes which have recently been
made In other parts OF the district.
The News has told of the rich
strikes on all of these properties and
has told nothing but the truth. TAX
ing everything into consideration, IL
Rosebud is not the richest and
greatest of Nevada mining districts"
which is the one which can Justly
claim the title?-Rosebud News.

TAKE OPTION ON
rochester GROUP
STRONG COMBINATION INVADEs
THE ATWOOD MINING
DISTRICT.

Congressman George Bartlett, L.
A.. Gibbons and j. A. Buchanan
have taken an option on the Rochest-
ell group at Atwood, and will i'm
mediately incorporate and commence
the work of development. The par
ties interested have had the ground
thoroughly prospected, and have re-
ceived assay returns from $56 to
$40 a ton.
Another group has been taken up
by L. A. Gibbons and associates and
a force of men will be put to WORK
on the 1st of the month.
The Atwood Consolidated Mining
Company, of which Rex Beach is
president and J.. A. Buchanan vice
president and general manager, has
been rushing work on the property.
and Manager Buchanan Is well sat
isfed with results thus far. From
stringers leading to the ledge they
have received assays which go all
the way from $40 to $40 a ton.
While work on the ledge will be
continued, the ground will be thor
oughly prospected.
The Atwood district is forging
ahead to the front at a very rapid
pace, and a great deal of work is
going on there. Everybody is busy.
and there has been already started
a newspaper, called the Atwood Pros
pector. The mineral zone is said to
extend ten miles.

TO The
FRONT WITH STRIKE
THIS TIME ON A LEASE OF THE
RAMSEY : OPHR
COMPANY

RAMSEY April Z1.-Once more
Ramsey m to the front with a
strike Of good ore in a bran new
place, that of the C1ark-Robinson
lease on the Ramsey -Ophir company's
American Eagle mine.
The lease is at the highest point
in the district, bearing almost the rel
alive position of the North Star, at
Tonopah, but finding the ore at about
fifty feet. The ledge is a continual
ton of the now famous Clark dixie
owned by the Ramsey-Comstock com
pany and in the Clark lease is seven
feet wide and samples from $14 to
SIS a ton. This proves the dixie for
a distance of nearly $500 feet. The
Clark lease dug through nearly fifty
feet of malapai before striking the
ledge. The shaft will be sent down as
fast as possible to water level, as at
that point in every place yet reached,
the lodges make copper and sulphides
of high value.
The Consolidated company is erect
ing its gallows frame of twelve by
twelve timbers, the hoist having ar
rived. This hoist is 25-horsepower
and will be used until the big hoist
arrives. The Consolidated will con-
tinue to sink as soon as the hoist is
in place.
Parallel to the Consolidated, Rich
Coe of Salt Lake has a shaft on his
lease on the Fisher mine, and is sink
ing on a streak of high grade that is
of high value. The streak is con-
tanned in a wide ledge and will be
followed to water level. Some ore is
being taken out as sinking prog
resses, but the shipping is being piled
at the mouth Of the shaft.
The New Comstock and Bonanza
companies r working full shifts,
and a new strike is reported on the
New Comstock. This company has
700 feet of ledge containing stringers
almost every six feet, and as these
stringers are crossed, the high grade
shows up in each one. 1t is stated
the whole ledge on this claim will
mill at the surface as high as 81 d
ton. The stringers so far cut have
sampled from $12 to $3.50 a ton, an
narrow, however.
The Ramsey Mining company an
nounces it will install a steam hoist
on its shaft adjoining the Ramsey.
Comstock. This shaft makes a good
deal Of water, and is on the CLARK
dixie, 200 feet from the R~amsey-Com,
stock shaft.
Three options and a sale were re
corded this week. The Regan-Ger,
nant group was sold to Chicago
people through F. I. Northrup Of
that city, the price being given al
$20,50O. Work probably will be
done first on the Silver City, one o.
the best looking claims In the east,
ern part OF the district.
The Walkover company is to begir
operations at once, as is the Ramsey.

is going ahead in the town as well az

fielders are in the district and have
so far managed to keep in the cream
of the operations.
