STEINHEIMER STRIKE SHOWS
FULL TWO FEET PICTURE ORE

quartz; a bromide of silver, running in
| values thousands of dollars to the ton;
the vein itself is strictly sulphide quartz,
and the plentiful specimens, brought
into camp by the sackful, have created
a sensation not surpassed by any excite
ment in the history of this camp.
1t is not exaggerating to say that the
Mizpah can sack and ship ore today. not
withstanding that the deepest hole on
the property is less than Is feet; as
says from the assure vein. for it APP
pears to be a characteristic true assure,
run anywhere up to $4,000, while the
average across more than two feet runs
$500: it is no trouble to pick specimens
of the bromide ore that will run 10000
to the ton.
The discovery was made by Sam Wat
kins. who undertook the surface pros
pecting of the Mizpah and Atlanta
claims. the two that form the group. on
an agreement that he should show $40
ore in place. To say that he has given
the owners more than he promised Is
drawing 1t mild. AS a result of his
work he will nave a substantial inter-
est in a property that has a surface
showing equal to the Fairview mine that
has made seven m~illionaires of its prin-
cipal stockholders.
The Mizpah and Atlanta were located
by one of the owners, Otto Steinheimer.
on the ed of February. 1906; the other
interested parties are Frank Stein
heimer and Nm. finger, all at present
citizens Of this camp.
1t is a significant fact hat the Mizpah
is owned by men Of means who can de-
velop and control the property with
their private fortunes. if they choose so
to do. The property is absolutely GER
tain to be thoroughly developed at once.
As a result of the Mizpah strike the
adjoining properties, for a mile in every
direction. have jumped up in value, and
there has been a scramble for them all
this week. Several deals are reported.
and a number of options have been
given.
One thing is certain THE southern part
of the mineral zone will now get such a
! thorough prospecting that we may con-
fdently expect other discoveries OF Inn
p~ortance.
All eyes on the Fairview Mizpah! 1t
may outclass Jim Butler's.-Fairview

NEW DISCOVERIES
AT BATTLE MT.

-
An unusually large amount Of pros
pecting has been going on in the hills
around Battle Mountain during the past
summer. resulting in many new discov-
cries of rich lead and extensive gold.
silver and copper deposits. adding to the
already large number of big mines in the
district many promising properties
which give evidence of developing into
enormous producers. So numerous In
fact have been the rich strikes recently
that the excitement over one has hardly
subsidized before another is reported: I'M
til now the interest has taken form In
what approaches a stampede on the part
OF operators to secure holdings. Several
properties have been bonded and some
have already changed hands.
The Willow creek strike, reported sew
eral weeks age, which proved to be a
sensationally rich gold find, was fol-
lowed by the discovery and location OF
splendid showings on much of the sur
| rounding country. From these later
strikes good assays ave been obtained.
while much of the rock par literally of
free gold. While there has not as yet
been suficient work o in the Willow
creek country to determine how extern
sive the deposits are. the veins display
evidence of being continuous and in
place.
Other recent locations In the Battle
Mountain range are showing up well and
hardly a day passes that some Of the
men in the hills do not come into town
with their pockets bullying with speci-
mems of rock running high in the pre-
cious metals.
At present there are probably, all told.
a dozen properties on the producing
ledge and teams are engaged regularly
hauling the ore to Battle Mountain,
where IL is loaded on the cars and
shipped to the smelters at Salt Lake
City. Among those making regular ship
ments is the Copper Canyon mine, which
employs from three to five six-horse
wagons. which make daily trips. Copper
Canyon ore as We saw 1t in the wagons.
Is the large blocks of red oxide ore
which is literally filled with native cop
per. Much of this ore will run 80 per
cent in the copper content and furnishes
some of the finest specimens we have
ever seen in Nevada.
Another regular producer from which
ore ttdIlS SOIuc III udhy 10 ~ hheeiS
Giant, which is located about eight miles
southwest of town and is being worked
by Salt lake parties. The Little Giant
is a gold. silver and lead proposition and
has been a producer for over thirty
years. 1t has the reputation of having
produced the purest bullion that was
ever received at the United States mint,
1t having gone as high as 500 fine. This
property has been worked by the present
owners about five years, and the ore
bodies not only show no signs of becom-
ing exhausted. but only recently a new
strike was made in the 200-foot incline
shaft uncovering ore that went 400
ounces in silver. This property, from
it's present workings, could ship a car
load of ore a day If teams could be Sc
cured to haul it.-Battle Mountain

For Fairview to give to the world the
great Nevada Hills mine. with it's first
car of ore shipped from an open surface
cut, it's %shippings maintained regularly
and without cessation from the start,
with an average value at the smelter of
1854 per ton, a dividend of 10 cents per
share within eight months. and -four
such dividends. aggregating 100000
within eighteen months-when this
young camp rave to the mining industry
such a producer as this, the record OF
mining was broken and a new record
established.
While we cannot predict another Nc
vada Hills for the camp. we must admit
that the latest surface strike of the
camp is equally as good as the one that
caused a treasury fiotation of 5O,ooo
shares at 81. 90 per share to be ten times
oversubscribed within one week. Look
ing backward the difference between the
latest sensation here and the Nevada
Hills of the present is but eighteen
months of time to develop and take out
ore for dividends.
The Mizpah claim is now the c%ynosure
of all eyes.
Two and one-fourth miles due south
of the Nevada Hills lies the mining
property that may become It's rival
royal. We know what the Bonanza OF
the camp has done. We saw the man
agement take from a surface cut and
shin carloads of ore averaging 1854 per
ton at the smelter, to be followed by
hundreds Of carloads as the ore shoot
was followed down. "a is a real grass
root mine. Now We cannot say that the
Mizpah will do this. but we do know
that 1t looks like a Nevada Hills today.
The ground broken ten days ago. and an
ore shoot has been opened at the sur
face, SO rich in values as to make II
possible to sack 5000 ore today. From
no other property in the state but the
Nevada Hills has such ore been taken
from an ore shoot bullying at the top OF
the mother earth.
The discovery is on a strong ledge
that has the characteristic strike on the
lodges of the district-northwest and
southeast-almost entirely across the
Mizpah, at an angle which gives that
claim seven hundred feet of the outcrop.
The vein has been opened at several
points. and at each the ore Is SO ex-
tremely rich. the shoot takes such a per-
manenr form at the surface and Is so
large that the discovery has taken rank
with the Nevada Hills strike. and bears
every indication of yielding shipping ore
from the top of the ground down. At Its
widest point there is two feet of high
grade ore, with a strata of tale ana
gangue matter on each side; the gangue
matter is filled with scattered soft

Three freight cars, containing the
last installment of machinery. ETC., for
the plant of the Manhattan Ore Reduc-
ton 4 Refining company. are en- route
to Tonopah from Reno. The consign-
ment consists of pipes, shafting, betting
and minor fittings. As soon as it reaches
Manhattan the machinery already in
place will be connected up. Immediately
thereafter the initial run on ore will be
made. During the past week the source
of water supply has been thoroughly
tested and water forced through the
pipe line sufficient to fill the cyanide
tanks. With the exception of one-half
of one tank the latter is erected. Power
equipment is being placed with despatch
and will be in readiness for connecting
by the time the betting and shafting ar
rive.

II think that / have just seen the best
prospect in the country" said Fred
Strehkle to a Herald reporter in speak
ing of the new strike on the Diamond
Queen. Information regarding the strike
reached the Herald Office last week just
a little too late for publication in Fri
days issue. but more authentic news is
available at this time.
Continuing, Mr.. Strehkle aid THE
ore Is all high grade. 1t comes in fs-
sures, about IL feet from the contact,
which is porphyry. The assures shoot
in all directions, in a network, cutting
the blue lime, but between the assures
and the p%orphyry is a black and white
lime spar that carries values of $23 to
the tom. In my opinion. these numerous
assures, which are about three inches
in width at surface, will lead to a body
of ore on the contact, and l believe the
property has the making of a mine. The
deepest work is dow 22 feet, with more
and better ore as depth is gained. About
-four tons of shipping ore have been
saved"
A short time ago, Messrs, Guisti, Har-
grove and Biddlecome were granted a
lease on the ground. They found ship
ping ore at grass roots, the ore being
considerably leached, and values have
steadily increased with depth. Fred l..
Warburton the following as
says: From groupings. $3.50; at six
feet of depth, $255.60; at 20 feet, 1906.
An assay on the ore, made yesterday by
N. M. Simons. went $233.6O in gold.
The gold occurs in a deep golden
brown lime quartz. heavily stained with
red oxide and i~mpregnated with streaks
of hematite. The ore fails to yield colors
in the pan, but the assays show a quail
ity of shipping ore not common in the
district.

ated in the Bare mountains, about six

Grading completed and foundation for
battery boxes in place. a force of car
penters is now engaged in erecting the
mill building for the Nevada Milling
and Ore Purchasing company-known
locally as the Lemon mill. The celebrity
with which construction of the plant is
progressing is as much a matter of sat

general as to Mr.. Lemon. Delivery of
freight at the millsite has been made
without the vexatious delays which In
the past seriously hampered operations
at the plant of the Manhattan ore Re
duction & Refining mpan Several
loads of machirery are now on the road
betwee here and Tonopah. Taken all

School Notes.

Merry christmas.
We know something and we
wont tell, not this week at least.
The High school will have q
Literary program this Friday after
noon. Visitors welcomed.
Rev. Edward Baker gave the
tuesday morning talk to the MEM
bers of the seventh and eighth
grades and High school this week.
His general topic was Character
and he added little spice to the
make up of our school work. We
hope to have speaker every Tues
day morning.
Just take a peek into the first
room and see those paper chains,
cut, colored and posted by the
little folks, their first effort in that
direction.
We have three new pupils this
week, from the country, and we
have no doubt but what they will
do excellent work.
A common question is, "well
how do you like your teacher?'
suppose you turn the question a
little and ask, "How does your
teacher like you?" 1t might give
the boy something to think about.
If the boy or girl is we'll behaved
and amiable they will like and be
liked, When the pupil does not
like the teacher. the chances are
that said pupil has not been doing
lust as he or she should do.
The Board of Education OF
Grant, Falls, Mimi, has given the
Principal authority to suspend all
pupils who use tobacco. Rather
strict but it tells the story OF the
effect of one habit upon boys in
Minnesota.
More schools are placing gooC
magazines in the schools for the
pupils use than ever before. A
good magazine is a great help in
many studies. The modern stu
dent reads the news of today and
catches truths of the past.
