GROOM DISTRICT is
COMING TO THE FRONT

William Wheatley returned frcm Groom
during the week, where he has been on
business connected with property recent
Is transferred by him and associates, says
the Phoebe Record. Mr. Wheatly has al
ways been very enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of Groom as a mineral section
but never so much so as since his recent
visit. He states that ore is being en-
countered in all directions and of a good
assay value.
The Groom district is essentially lead
producing one, and the ore actually I'M
covered marks it as the biggest thing
worked for some time. As an instance of
the quantity of ore to be found, Mr.
Wheatley states that some Quarrying was
being done for the purpose of getting
stone to build some cabins, the operators
value would be found, and to their sur
prise a ledge several feet in thickness,
carrying ore averaging well up per ton,
was encountered. This is, however, char
acteristic of the district.
Heretofore the mines could never be
worked at a profit on account of trans
portation facilities, but this has been over
come to a large degree. Rail connections
being within fifty miles of the mines. The
ore will be hauled to Johnny Siding. on
the Las Vegas & Tonopah, the distance
thereto being very favorable for a wagon
haul. being down grade for the entire dis
tance.
The Higgenson brothers, who are quite
well known in this section, are the NOV
ing spirits in the opening up of the dis
trict at present.

FAIRVIEW MINING NOTES.
Nevada Fairview Shipping-prom
edary Hump Waiting.

The first shipment of ore from the Ne
vada Fairview will consist of two cars
now about ready for the wagons. Sack
ing will continue from tunnel No. right
along from this day on.
This has been the biggest month for ore
shipments; UP to the 21st day of the
month fourteen carloads OF high-grade
had been loaded at FallOn, from Fair
view. and the total will likely reach
twenty cars by June 1. When we consider
that this ore runs an average of not less
than $3.50 to the ton, we can understand
the meaning of twenty cars per month
1t means that the camp is already produc
ing money metals at the rate of more than
81. 100000 per year.
Sam King of Salt Lake City passed
through here Tuesday on his way to Lodi,
valuable mining property adjoining the
Illinois mine, which is at present ship
ping considerable high-grade ore. He fur
Their states that there is going to be a re-
vival of mining there; new town is to
be created, with the name of Lodi. A
number of properties will be worked at
once and aggressively, and il is expected
that a number of shippers will be added
to the Illinois.
Tunnel No. s. Nevada Hills, from which
we have heard little for several months,
has just cut a good breast of ore that
breaks down into the sack at 500 per
ton. In a drift from the winze in tun-
mel No. there is five feet of solid ore,
that ships at 500 per ton. This winze is
sixty-five feet deep and was dropped in
the vein of ore for the entire depth. Ore
will soon be coming out OF No. 1 tunnel.
the oldest feature of the works, as the ore
house at its portal is about completed.
The great gallows frame on the Drom-
edary Hump towers in place, the foun-
datiOn is ready, and the stay bolts are
set and the superintendent spends some
of his time in chasing for that forty-horse
power Fairbanks. Morse & Co. engine that
comes not. It was reported at Fallon
more than two weeks ago. but does not
put in its appearance This machinery
was ordered in December. 1906; just a
half year has passed since the company
undertook to deliver the engine within
reasonable time 1t hurts for a prop
erty like the Dromedary Hump to be held
back for months: the delay is unusually
exasperating in this instance, because the
formation there is very hard, and pro-
gress at depth is aggravatingly slow. The
property is shaped up beautifully for deep
sinking. the company is in a flatterinS
financial condition, while the ore is COM
ing IN nicely, and everything indicates a
big production as soon as facilities for
rapid work are afforded.

OLD PARK CITY MAN
PROSPECTING AT G0LDFIELD

NJ G. Scully. formerly a cigar manu-
facturer of Park City, is one of the prom
inent mining operators of the Goldfield
district whose name is frequently cou-
neetCd with affairs of moment in the big
gold camp Of his Quartz5Je Annex
proposition, the Goldfield News has this
10 say:
M c. Scully. who last week purchased
the control of the Quartzite Annex Min
ing company, has lost no time in starting
development work on the property The
shaft is al-eady down thirty feet, and is
being sunk as fast as two shifts of men
can work. A fine looking ledge has been
uncovered in the shaft, samples assaying
from $50 TO S45 ton. Mr.. Sculy is well
pleased with his investment and will send
the shaft down to the 5O0-foot point, be-
IieVing that with depth he will open up an
immense body of shipping ore. 1t is pos
sible that prosecuting will begin at the
10O-foOt level to cut the ledge at that
point and as the ledge appears to be wild
ening as it goes down. il is very likely
that some rich values will be encountered
al this level.
The property will be fully equipped
for deep development work as soon as the
shaft has attained depth to warrant the
installation of gallOws frame and hoist.
The Quartzite Annex appears to have
every advantage in the matter of location,
being surrounded on all sides by proven
properties, with some of the best in the
district for near neighbors.'

three claims were sold to San Francisco

HIGH GRADE COPPER
COMING FROM BRISTOL

The Bristol Copper company is prepar-
ing TO ship some very high grade ore
which they have recently encountered in
their workings, says the Phoebe Record
This ore carries values running into the
hundreds of dollars per ton. So valuable
is it, that in shipping it is placed in very
tight wagon boxes and is double sacked
The ore that is to be shipped is of the
very highest grade, and the only reason
for shipping at this time is that they have
no place to keep ore of this character
when the railroad gets within mailing
distance, the company viii be in a posi-
ton to ship carloads each day.
