EVERYTHING CAN PAN
COLO At HAYSEED
Even the Miners Accumulate
Precious Stuff i'm Hair
and Clothes.

II goes without saying that the Hay
seed is mine. Everybody admits 1t.
whether or not they have seen it. 1t
has the reputation And il could not
long maintain that reputation IL il could
show the goods. For there are scores OF
visitors on the ground every week. so
many, in fact. that Superintendent Mel
son gets weary of showing them through
knnw there is a limit, Yet the multi
tudes who have seen the IIayseed In the
last thirty days; the numbers of men
who have panncd the quartz from the
dump and workings have all returned
from the scene with the same verdict.
Rhyolte Herald reporter took ad-
vantage OF Superintendent Nelson's hos
pitality this week. and took I'm the Hay
seed Mining company's property about
as thoroughly as could be done In an
afternoon, Paintings galore were made:
paintings from the shaft, paintings from
the dump, paintings from the sacked ore:
and, don't forget paintings from the
overalls Of the miners. Two dusty min
ers came out OF the mine about $3.50 in
the afternoon, and as they reached the
orehouse they were stopped and rined OF
ore. They had their overalls turned up
at the bottom, and from the folds n gem
erous amount of dust fell out and was
caught In a pan Did the dust horn?
Like house afire; equally as good as
the sorted ore. Mr. Nelson then thought
IL would be good plan to comb the
hair OF the miners heads and take an
other panninG, but the fellows drew the
line on that. and il was accordingly
passed up.
Panning at the Hayseed is like get
ting money from home Three paintings
may be made from pulp. with just about
equal results. the third being as good
does not settle easily. much OF it passing
out Of the pan with the quartz The
Herald reporter took up this challenge.
which was made by Mr., Nelson. and the
three paintings were made, the result be-
ing as above stated. II has been sixty
days since the Hayseed Mining company
started work, The shaft on the State
Line claim was thirty feet deep when
shaft has been sunk on the incline to a
depth OF l05 feet, with a drift 95 feet To
the south-all In ore. In addition to this.
10 feet Of work has been accomplished
in shafts. open cuts and tunnels on the
Hayseed ledge
The State Line shaft, which is general
ly spoken OF as the Hayseed. nasmuch
as the principal work has been done
here. Is in values from the surface. Good
ore came in before the former owners
quit work. the Hayseed company starting
work on fair values at thirty feet depth,
The better ore came in soon after and
has been proved continuous as far as
explored The rich ore occurs In granu-
lated quartz. which is so finely pull
j.
and sacked in the workings. The high
grade ore in the State Zine shaft is
identical with the best ore In the Inyo
Gold, In which bodies OF this character
OF quartz have caused the workings to
cave in.
The Herald is not prepared to give
many figures concerning the values in
the State Line workings. The paintings,
which were made from samples taken
here and there without mortaring, were
so remarkable that the idea OF making
assays was dispelied, The entire work
ings are in good milling ore while there
is high-grade streak present, both in
the shaft and drift, that carries the ship
ping ore. Unfortunately. the ore is too
fine in the workings TO make picture
samples. although assays have shown
fabulous values. on the groupings. where
the quartz is solid. specimens of free
gold are found.
Superintendent Nelson is getting big
shipment ready and expects 10 ship with
In few days. The miners are shoyeling
in the high grade from the bottom OF
the drift. and the sacks are being de-
tons Of sacked ore are stored, The ship
ment will be made from Rhyolite. The
ore that has been sacked has been taken
out in development only, no effort having
the level may be stopped for milling. j.
p. Nelson, superintendent. is considered
one Of the best practical mining men In
the country. He has had his eye on the
quietly picked up several excellent prop
critics. In an interview with the Herald
reporter he said.
"It has been fourteen months since /
first saw the Hayseed. I marked It down
for a mine on sight The formation is
massive quartzite with the later forma-
ton thrown aside with schist and lime.
The ledgcs cut the formation in assures.
and with such large veins in the altered
quartzite. I can't possibly see but what
the veins will stay and so down. 1 have
put my money not only into the Hay
and am willing TO stay and develop the
same. | find some OF the strongest min
eralization here / have ever seen
II do not consider the outcroppinGs az
Tonopah as compa ring In fair degree
with that OF the Hayseed, although the
Tonopah mines have developed into rich
producers. Another good feature OF the
Hayseed ore is that the values are en-
tirely in gold, and the ore can be treated
in the simplest manner possible. We
are making shipment now just 10 show
the people that we can ship. We don't
care to sort the ore. as we want to mill
It all. and by the end OF the present
year the company intends TO have n
treating plant upon the ground. The ore
is worked very easily. in fact. this Is the
covers period OF thirtyseyen years.
1T took myself and associates twelve
months TO get the factions together on
the Hayseed proposition, eliminate all the
lawsuits and combine the interests In a
corporation. | was ready TO take hold
The Hayseed property at the price is one
OF the biggest bargains 7 have ever
known. Yes, ] am moro than satisfied
with the mine up TO date. e."-Rhyolte
