erty is taken over by a syndicate who
have already made arrangements to
work the mine actively and begin
shipping ore Immediately. The con-
sideration IN the bond and lease is
not made public but with the contem-
plated surface Improvements and un-
foreground development that are to
be instituted Immediately, the prop
osition will stand the syndicate into
six or seven figures.
The purchasers include Benjamin
Lloyd, president of the Santa Cruz
board of trade; Carl J. Young, the
well known mining nan of Tonopah;
NJ. Kinney. the rising young bonanza
king of Cripple Creek; j. J.. Hennesy
OF Reno; John F. Murray of San
Francisco, and Sol Camp OF the well
known firm of mining promoters Of
Patrick, Elliott & Camp of Reno.
The Lindsay mine comprises a
group of seven claims including the
patented Belle lode. 1t has a ledge
of two and a half to sixteen feet wide
with a silver bearing lead ore, chiefly
cerussite, out of the ordinary values.
A series of assays made by H. w
Young gives an average of 61 to II
per cent lead, and from II to /!
ounces of silver, or $500 in silye
= and lead values a ton.
Twenty years ago this month tn
= mine made a 20-day. run which
brought gross returns of $4,000 a
per an accounting then in the Elk
y County bank. The mine was origin
! ally discovered by J. Lindsay and :
came to the notice of Carl j, Young
y who was instrumental in putin
through the present deal, about twer
ty years age. when he and Dick
Z Brown, now of the University of M
: vada, hauled a smelter from Pal
q sades to the mine. The property. b.
!" came idle through the sickness of til
original owner and has since bee
tied up in the Lindsay estate. Tt

present operators until full title
turned over to them.

GOLD CIRCLE THE NEW ELDO.
RADIO.


Reports continue coming in to the
effect that the recent gold discovery
at Squaw valley is proving to be the
greatest gold country ever known.
E. Il. Starrett Of this place, who
visited the Gold Circle camp this
week, brought in another lot of fine
specimens of free gold from the SEN
sational strike that was made sew
eral weeks ago and which is attract
ing wide attention on account of the
bonanza character of the ore and the
apparently unlimited extent of the
surface enrichment.
Already several new strikes have
been made since the first startling
discovery was reported. which ex-
tends the fabulous mineral zone over
an immense area. The last strikes
are said to be as rich as the first, and
much of the rock brought here APP
pears to have been broken from crop
pings or dykes above the surface.
This ore is literally filled with free
gold. the particles varying in size
from the proportions of a mustard
seed to a S. gold piece. One party
came into town a few days ago with
a hat full of the rock, any~piece OF
which would assay away up into the
thousands.
At the original strike an armed
man stands guard over the treasure
vault in order to prevent the carry
ing OF of the rich rock, a few pounds
of which would be worth a great
many dollars.
The new country has been staked
eff for twelve miles square, and al
most everywhere. it is said. values
can be obtained, ranging from a few
dollars to several thousand.
t Squaw valley, or Gold Circle, boil
CT which names the new strike is

The output for the year is a gain Of
125 tons, or 1856 per cent in guam
tity and of $S9,191, or 20 per cent
in value over the known production
of 1905.
The noticeable rise in the price of
tungsten during 1905 continued dur
ing 1906, and the production was
stimulated accordingly. There was,
however. a very great discrepancy in
the prices paid for ore in various
places. as there is almost sur to be
when an article is produced spasmod-
ically in widely separated and often
little known localities, while at the
same time the market is limited and
the isolated small producers have
slight chance to become acquainted
with buyers and market conditions.
Prices during the year ranged from
S. to 50 per unit for the contained
tungsten trioxide, or, as it is often
enormously called. ''tungstic acid"
The market for tungsten ores is ex-
panding and seems now to be almost
as sure as the market for copper or
other staple ores. Firms requiring
large quantities OF tungsten have had
difficulty in obtaining sufficient sup
plies to guarantee future deliveries.
The greatest producing locality in
1906 was Boulder county, Colo, but
tungsten mining was carried on also
in California, Arizona, Montana, New
Mexico and Washington. The Bould-
err county ore is ~wolframite, but the
, deposits in California are chiefly
scheelite. No production of tungsten
was reported from the deposits IL
Alaska, Connecticut, Oregon or Idaho
but considerable development worl
was done at Oseeola, New. New de
: posts of scheelite have also beef
found at Murray, Idaho. where 1t !
hoped that production will soon be
/. gin.
During the year experiments tina
have been carried on for a long tim

lamp, the ilament of which is mad

carbon in~candescent lamp uses
