MEANS MUCH FOR
SOUTHERN NEVADA
OPENING OF NEW DISTRICTS AT.
TRACING A GREAT DEAL
OF ATTENTION

1.-THE Union Mining district and
the Emma Bowler Mining district are
going to be the big things in South
ern Nevada this summer.
This is the verdict of Louis ".
Cirac and John A. Mayett, who ar
rived yesterday from Berlin in an
automobile, and who will return to
that wonderful new country as soon
as they can conclude the business that
brought them here.
The country around Berlin" said
Mr.. Cirac, who was the original To-
Gator of the Cirac mine, lis looking
fine, both from a mining standpoint
and from the view Of population. We
have a lease on the Richmond prop
erty belonging to the Nevada com
pany and have been working since
November 10. Mr.. Mayett and have
taken out 500 tons in that time which
will average better than 500 a ton,
and we have in sight 1000 tons
which is of the same grade. We have
a tunnel in about 400 feet.
"'The values are in gold, silver and
copper. The Nevada company will
start their mill between the 18th OF
this month and the first of June, and
we have secured a lease of ten OF
tire stamps. There are thirty stamps
in all. We will ship II concentrate
to Salt Lake.
THE Lincoln Mining company
whose property adioins hat of this
Nevada, is sacking shipping ore
They have been operating only since
the first of January, and they have
milling ore as well as the shipping
product.
THE North Bell Mining company
which is next to the Lincoln, is put
ting on a large force of men, anC
they have had some fabulous ASA!
returns. They have recently cut ;
ledge in their tunnel at a distance o
$50 feet in, which gives returns
across the face of $175 a ton. Theil
assays have gone as high as $1,000
and $4,000 a ton. The Gransvill,
property, it is reported, but l canno
say how true it is, to have been soil
for $75O,000.
"Going across to lone there ha
been a big strike made there of whicl
Mr.. Mayett can tell you more than
can"
There is a big dyke there SAT-
Mr., Mayett. from which it is sup
posed that the placer gold taken GU
of the country for years has it
source. They do not know yet wha
they have there, but they are gettinI
mighty good paintings. Mr.. Cira
and myself have an option on tn
Mustang Dyke, which was located b
Val G.. johnson, w. T, and Jess
Goodson.
Bonita, which is in the Emm
Bowler district, is one of the mos
promising spots in Nevada. 1t /
here where the dyke is of which W
spoke, and it is 300 feet wide. The
have a shaft down sixty-five feet an
the ore runs from $3.50 to $1.20
a ton. Riggs & Gordon Of Goldfel
have possession of it, and they ar
being crowded pretty close by ne
arrivals, there being now at least Is
people in there. George Richardso
and Bert Lyons have the ground o
the southwest end of the dyke, wher
they have a body of ore three feC
in width which will go $500 a tol
John Bowler and | have the pro-
erty on the north end of the dyk
where we have a ledge 200 feet
width. We have taken fifty differeI
assays and got an average of $10.2I
| There will be a great rush I'M
! the country this summer, without
doubt, for 1t is a fine looking di
trict. The lodges are clean and wei
defined, and all look very promisin
: The Macdonald, Schwab, Gill,
crowd, which bought the property a.
Joining the Berlin from me, are g
ing to begin work on 1t this wee
s and other holders out there are &c
| ting busy, SO you can imagine tn
' there is something doing in tn
country"
