FINE SHOWING MADE IN
AND AROUND UBEHEBE

AS rule, those who 60 to Ubbe-
hebe come back enthusiastic boosters
for that copper and gold camp, says
the Bullfrog Miner. w. E. Ewing
and J. o. Tonkm, who returned to
Rhyolite this week from Ubehebe,
are no exceptions to the rule.
These two proSpectors, who, by the
way, have technical knowledge of
metallurgy and geology, were in
Ubehebe five weeks, which time was
spent diligently in studying the for
nation and mineral characteristics of
what they have concluded is one of
the most promising mining camps in
this part of the country. They will
return in q few days to commence
active and systematic work on the
Fortuna ground, comprising seven
claims, which they own and which
is located one-quarter of mile south
of the Shively strike, on the same
ground,
On the Fortuna, Mr.. Ewing says is
an outcropping ledge 80 feet wide
and traced for 60 feet, tests on which
show ID per cent copper and $17 in
gold. The ore is an oxide and sui
phide.
hebe, Notwithstanding the impression
abroad that the weather is very hot
over there. 1t is reported, however,
that the weather has hRen very pleas
ant over there thus far this season,
and it is urged that, inasmuch as
Ubehebe is higher than Bullfrog, the
weather ought to>be even cooler than
it is here.
Jack Salberry is working twenty
two men on his property and is put
ting on all the additional men that he
can hire
The hits are reported to be alive
with surveying parties and prospect
ors.
A mass meeting was held at the
old borax works this week and a new
mining district, to be known as the
Ubehebbe, with the recorders Office
at Saline City. Heretofore, Ubehehe
has been in the Big Pine mining dis
trict.
Fitting, Schwab's man, came in
this week to begin work on the San
ger ground. Paddock has also start
ed work on his property.
Salsberry is developing water on
his water right in Inyo, above the bo-
rax works, where the old mill used
to be run by water power.
Reports EPom Lee.
Thomas ]. Lynch, the pioneer
leaser OF Tonopah and one of the
most successful operators in the
state, returned Thursday from the
Lee district. where he is developing
the Duck group of claims, recently
purchased by him. Mr.. Lynch's
property is situated close to the Hay
seed group, which is attracting much
attention on account of the high val
ues now being extracted from it's big
lodges. Surface assays from the
Duck group showed average values
of $40 ton, and the bottom of the
shaft, now down 80 feet, samples
from IS to $40 ton in free gold
The ledge is three and one-half feet
wide, and Mr.. Lynch is confident that
at a depth of 100 feet, the present
objective point, he will develop a
large shoot of shipping ore. On the
Hayseed an eight-foot ledge has been
| developed on the 100-foot level
showing two feet of ore Of very high
value, while the remainder of the
ledge Is of good milling grade. The
Hidden Treasure, the Lee Bonaaza
and a number of other properties in
the vicinity of the Hayseed, have al
ready developed into flrst-class pro-
ducers. and Mr.. Lynch predicts that
the Lee district will soon take its
place among the best gold-pr0dueine
districts IN the state.
