An important. discovery was made at
the Sierra Blanco group this week, when
In running an open cut a ledge was UNI
covered showing a liberal amount of
free gold in the pan. The ledge Is about
eight feet in width, composed OF por-
phyritic quartz. and appears to be min
eralised for the entire distance.
The group. contains two claims owned
by f. II. Stickney and Jack Robichau.
situate In the vicinity of the Victor.
and adjoining the Venture Nevada. The
Victor lead passes the ground. which
fact the owners think. argues an ex-
cellent deposit of mineral.

Phillips and Moesser. the lessees on
the Gibraltar. are now making their
first shipment Of ore. About forty tons
have been sacked. which Is the result
of two months work of the WI miners.
The last two days rave been spent In
getting the mineral down from the
workings to the track of the L.. ". & T.
railroad, and 1t is expected that the
shipment will start on its way to the
smelter at Salt Lake today. Mr.. Phil
lips estimated, from tests made both
mere anu III 6dit LdhCs tndt Zig MP
will run on an average of about
SITS to the ton.
NATIONAL 1AHx
The rich strike that was made on the
National Bank last week Is proving to
be even greater than was anticipated.
The values are holding out well m the
ledge is getting larger. h average
values are about $50 per ton, not taking
into consideration the rich shoot of high
grade.
This property never looked better. and
there is every reason to believe that 1t
viii eventually be one OF the good divi-
dend payers Of the district.
NAYrLowE1
The north drift from the 400-foot
level at the Mayiower shows a full face
of ore, with averages which run as high
$2S to the ton.
Machine drills are being operated on
this level. and the showing continues to
give much encouragement. Mill plans
are being considered by the management
of the company.

Joe Gaut has a shaft down forty feet
on his Starlight No. 3 cleaim adjoining
the Mayhower. and he says that the ore
has yielded substantial paintings all the
way down. Besides this he IA running
a crosscut to tap another lead. and this
is now in about twenty feet.
Work was started on the property only
a short time ago.-Bullfrog Miner.
