VERNON CONSOLIDATED TO BE
DEVELOPED.

H.. +. Howe, a prominent young
capitalist from San Francisco, who
is largely interested in the Seven
Troughs district as well as other IA
nous Nevada camps, was a visitor
to Vernon on Tuesday of this week.
Mr.. Howe is a director in the Yer
non Consolidated Mines company, OPP
Grating the Gold Run group. Just
west of Vernon. When seen by a
Review reporter he said that his
visit at this time had no particular
significance, that he was here for
the first time to look over the coun.
try and to inspect his holdings.
Il have been in close touch with
the Seven Troughs district" said Mr..
Howe, but had no idea of its pro-
pensity until l had gomez over it. In
my opinion, this camp will, in time,
rank with the foremost in the state,
and this coming fall will certainly
witness a big rush of fortune-see's-
ers into the district"
In speaking of his own interests,
Mr.. Howe stated that plans we're
being perfected to carry out a course
of development, which, when COM
pleted, would surely place the Gold
Run group on a par with the big
mines of the district. Work will be-
commenced Immediately on a shaft
and it is proposed to sink to a depth
Of 200 feet before any prosecuting
is done. A very strong and promis-
ing ledge has been opened on the
surface from which unusually high
assays have been obtained and it is
the firm belief of the management
that at the proper depth sensational
values will be encountered. AS soon
as practicable a substantial hosting
plant will be installed and the work
of developing the Vernon CONSOLIDATE
ed will be rushed with all possible
speed.

Howe visited Trinity Peak, about ten
miles north of Lovelock, where he
spent several days inspecting the
workings of the Trinity Peak Mining
company. Mr.. Howe is v~ice-presi-
dent of this company and in giving
a report said that the showings at
that property were very gratifying.
The property is being developed
through a shaft and a tunnel. The
shaft has reached a depth of fifty
feet and from this point a drift has
been run for a distance of 14O feet
along a ledge that shows an aver.
age width of six feet. Samples taken
from this vein at various places show
the gold values running all the wa,
from So to $1,000, while picked
samples from the bottom of the shaft
run as high as $500 in gold to the
ton. A tunnel has also been driver
for a distance of lis feet on tht
same vein above the shaft. Practical
ly the same conditions exist in the
tunnel as in the shaft insofar as the
values are concerned and our inform
ant stated that the work already don,
places the property on the list o
coming producers. A gasoline hois
is to be installed Immediately on tn,
Trinity Peak and the shaft will b,
sunk to a depth of 800 feet. afte-
which prosecuting and drifting vii
be commenced.
On the Lone Butte group, which i
also an asset of the Trinity Peal
company, an incline shaft has bee.
sunk to a depth of forty feet on al
e~ighteen-inch vein. Values at tn,
surface on the Lone Butte run a,
high as $35. The management in
tends sinking to the 15O-foot leve
before cutting a station preparation,
to drifting.
Mr.. Howe said the Trinity Peal
was equipped with an up-to-date as
say office, blacksmith-snop and
modern broom cottage. Good wate.
has been developed and the camp no.
all ~conveniences for comfortable liv
ing.-Vernon Review.
