LITTLE FLORENCE
GETTING DEPTH

The Little Florence continues ship
ments, at the rate of 60 or 20 tons a day
and the management expects shortly
to increase the output. The shaft is
now down 400 feet and crosscut has
been started to tap the rich ledge $50
feet deeper than the point at which the
ore is being taken out through the Mo
hawk Florence shaft. The crosscut will
be 170 feet long and will be completed
in about a month. Two winzes are be-
ing sunk from the 250-foot level on the
Florence Mohawk block of the Little
Florence lease. Both are being sunk
on the vein and the values are increas-
ing with every foot.
The Little Florence shipped 1900
pounds of high grade ore early in the
week that will run more than 81 a
pound The ore had been stored in the
vaults of one of the local banks. from
which ii was taken in an express wagon
to the reduction works.

f. n. Argersinger. who recently took
over the control of the Nevadan Mining
company, is pushing development work
on the lease, which Is located on the
Florence between the Florence L. M.
block, and the Combination Fraction
lease, both of which are controlled by
Argersinger. The ground also adjoins
the Combination Fratcion company's
ground and the famous Reilly lease.
The shaft on the property is down
400 feet, but practically all the devel-
opment work, up to the time the lease
was taken over by Mr.. Argersinger, had
been confined to the upper levels. More
than 100 tons of high grade ore have
been taken out between the 146 and 1856
foot levels and two great ore shoots
have been cut in several places. In
the northeast drift on the 196-foot level,
a streak of ore, IA inches wide has been
cut. at a point 80 feet from the shaft.

The shaft will be dropped an addi-

the ore between the 400 and 1876 levels.
The work outlined will give about 4SO

NAMELESS CAMP
ACHIEVING FAME

Four miles northeast of Thorne. at
the south end of Walker Lake, in Es-

promises to attract considerable atten-
tion before many months have passed.

saved several hundred ounces or sill

erty, they took out ore that assayed
as high as 5000 ounces in silver and
from s14 to 500 in gold. Seventeen
tons of ore was shipped from 65-foot
shaft. that gave returns of $341 ton.
The locators kept their find a secret
until they had secured all the ground
they could work and perfected the de-
velopment work. but now that the'ricn-
ness of the districts known. others are
going in and stalking out claims, ana
the nameless camp will soon be pro-

The Jumbo Wonder Leasing company
is drifting southeast on the 2O0-foot

Combined Leasing
The Combined Leasing company is
pushing development work on it's vari-
Gus properties. On the Bee Fraction
the new 25-horse power hoist has been
installed and the double compartment

Fraction is continuing. The shaft which
has been equipped with 25-horse power
hoist is down 1856 feet
On the Sunfiower claim, the shaft is
down $50 feet and corsscutting and
drifting is in progress. 1t is expected
by Superintendent Blanchard that the
big vein that was cut on the 135-foot
level, will be tapped by the drift that
is being run to the east. A new vein
has just been cut in the crOsscut but
the extent and value of the find has
not been determined.
The Daisy shaft is down 2S5 feet and
sinking is still going on.

the company has an interest, is down

company also has a shaft down $50 feet
on the Boom Fraction, adjoining. A
crosscut is being driven on the 150-foot
level and some drifting has been done
on the 100-foot level. Some good values
have been obtained and the company's

great ledge on the 210 foot level. The
crosscut is in 13O feet and has pene-
trated the vein for a distance of fifty
feet. They have cut a pay streak in
the vein matter from eighteen inches
to three feet wide that runs from $500
to $4,000 a ton. The management be-
lieyes this vein is the same that was

the result stood 673 for and 456 against
