One of the biggest strikes made In
Nevada for several months was that
made on the Mohawk-Duluth near Du-
luth, says the Duluth Tribune.
The excitement was all the greater
on account of the rich values being
found at a place where little, If any
thing. was expected. All of which goes
to show that Duluth ore is not confined
to any narrow limits but the hole
country is full of gold. Another evil
dence is the big find made a few days
ago over two miles in an opposite direc-
ton from the TOWNSHIP.
The Mohawk-Duluth ore was discov-
cred on the Amethyst claim. The ledge
opened up upon this property is with
out doubt one of the finest showings in
the state when the amount of develop
ment Is considered. 1t was in the ma
ture of a blind lead, not discernible on
the surface from a point where float
was found a short distance below the
apex of the vein.
Rich values were found from the
start. The ore being in the form of
white quartz boulders in the lead with
every indication of sulphurets. These
indications proved true. A shaft was
sum on the incline. following a well
defined wall-probably the foot wall.
Values increased and now %sulphurets
of gold have been found carrying values
way up in the thousands. $40, 900 assays
not being uncommon.
Another fact which attracts the at
tention of all Nevadans is that pieces
of ore were examined by competent min
ing engineers and found absolutely ident-
ical in character and appearance to
Hayes-Monnette Mohawk. Identical!
1t has that blush caste of sulphurets
and white quartz with white powdered
coating so familiar to all.
Everything looks favorable for a

REMARKABLE VALUES FROM
LEASE ON NEVADA HILLS

Knox lease during the past seven days;
while the production of high grade ship
ping ore Is maintained without sorting
the main shat is dropping down rapidly.
and 35 feet has been made since the
start from the 100-foot level was made.
AS was expected the vein was cut on
the dip at 125 feet. the first of this week.
and the shaft Is now dropping down to
the north of the vein; at the intersec-
ton of the shaft with the vein the ore
was in splendid and regular form, with
perfect walls: the shoot was fully 3h
feet wide. and the values were some
thing enormous. easily eclipsing n
yet found in the camp. The series of
assays. about 20 in number. taken from
the vein where the shaft passed through
1t. is the most remarkable in the his
tory of Fairview. and the picture values
there EXCEL. on the whole. any previous
sampling of the Nevad Hills vein-
In the drift to the east. on the vein
at the 100 level. there has been a demon
stration which may explode the theory
of a decided FAULT in the main ledge OF
the Nevada Hills, at a point but a short
distance east of the leasing shaft; the
faulting place was supposed to be at
an angle that would give plenty of stop
ing room at the 200-foot level. and pro-
vide more ore than could be removed
in four months time. and the work was
being conducted along this line. But
his east drift at the 1o0-foot level, in
stead of running into a faulting plane,
has turned of to the north in such a
manner as to give opinion to the effect
that the faulting plane is not a perfect
one-that II does not cut the vein OF
and that the ore shoot will be found to
continue on through the Boulder No. l
claim and into the Lookout ground. The
Importance of these late developments
are m%onentous to the Nevada Hills and
surrounding properties. and the result
of the next weeks work is anxiously
awaited by all concerned.
The Knox lease presents a busy spect-
acle. with the ore house rushing to COM
pletion. excavations being made for two
more engines. while the dump of ship
ping ore continues to increase In size;
the ore cannot be moved fast enough,
with the present production, as there
is no sorting at all. and everything goes
into the sack just as broken down.
Foundations are being placed for the
second hoisting engine, same size as
the present one in use. and for the 60
horse power engine and compressor. All
of this machinery pulled III of Tonopah
on Tuesday of this week; 1t is being
brought overland by freight teams. In
order to insure its arrival here without
delay. and within ten days from the
starting day they should arrive at the
works here. This equipment will double
the hoisting capacity of the works. and
furnish plenty Of air drills: at the same
time sinking can be carried on without
in the least interfering with the pro-
duction of ore. When in full operation
the capacity of the entire works will
prove to be not less h $50 tons of ore
every "a hours, which means an output
of 100000 for the same length of time.
Not less than ESQ men will be employed
for the last ten weeks of the lease

No such values as yielded in Fair
views mines are found elsewhere in the
world: this statement is borne out by
actual samplings of the veins. and Is
not based on a single discovery Of a
gold nugget. or by assaying a single
specimen
Two weeks ago this paper told of 10
assays from the vein at Knox lease, is
OF which returned shipping values. Think
Of 1t! Out of 10 samples IS were high
grade. for shipping ore in Fairview
means high grade. owing to the freight
haul of AZ miles in wagons, before a
railroad Is available. That was a o
derful demonstration of values, and
Assayer Everett was kept busy supply
ing duplicate copies of the assay certif-
cate. furnished to interested ~stockhold-
ers of the leasing company.
Everyone thought this certificate was
a trophy that should be framed What
are they going to say about an assay
certificate issued this week? Fifteen
assays grouped together the most re-
markable returns imaginable. Two Of
the number ran in excess of $1,000 and
$1,000 respectively. Taking out the two.
the average Of the thirteen remaining
was in excess of $500.
The leasing fever is directly attribute
able to the success of the Knox lease
and the Jarvis lease. both of which
are now in ore. the former having
reached a state of development that
guarantees a production of 81. 900. 900.
within the next four months, and possi-
bly, 81. 900. 900, while the latter is just
starting down on a vein that is sensa-
tiona1 for the double reason that the
values are extremely high. and because
the quantity of gold is very large.
While more than 80 properties are act
ually working now. and new work is
starting every day, 1t is impossible to
hear anything but leasing" the camp
is crazy about leasing: 1t is lease-wild;
the oldest operators of the district are
just awakened to the possibilities of
making fortunes in this way. Negotia-
lions are on with a number of people
for lease contract. and on several prop
critics. In addition to the number men,
toned by the Fairview News last week.
it now develops that negotiation are
pending for a contract whereby lessers
are to work the Lookout claim of the

NEVADA HILLS PRODUCTION
Ore house at the portal of tunnel No.
1 Is now finished. which will enable the
management to handle twice as much
ore as formerly. From now on much of
the ore will come from this tunnel. Not
only will the output be largely increased
at once. but the royalties from the Knox
lease will endow the reasury with suf-
ficient funds for an extra dividend of
large proportions, before the close of
the present year. The tonnage Is being
maintained at between 500 and 900 tons
per month, and could easily be 1900
tons, with freight facilities.

SINKING SHAFT ON
THE BROWN PALACE

Thursday morning Captain AIiene
Case, manager Of the Brown Palace
property of the Nevada Rosebud Mining
company. put men at work to sink a
shaft on top of Brown Palace hill. This
is a work fraught with much interest
to the people of Rosebud. 1t is a work
that will soon prove the -permanency
and richness of the veins of this district.
1t probably means more to the camp
than any other piece of work thai has
been either projected or accomplished.
This work will mark an epoch in the
history of the Rosebud mining district.
Some time ago trenches were dug on
top of the hill, some ore was taken out
and sacked from the two lodges that
outcrop there. One of these lodges is
20 feet wide, and a careful sample Of its
entire width by Captain Case returned
values in silver and gold of from $50 to
$1.0S9 per ton In examining this ore
there is no necessity for a glass. The
groupings which jut from the surface
fairly glisten wit punches of horn sill
yer and brittle silver.
In the meantime the two big bores
are going rapidly into the hill-one on
either side-and they will soon be- into
tniS vast treasure mouse OF the white
and yellow metals.
The fact hat besides this shaft upon
the Brown Palace the Dreamland is
sinking on ore and the Golden Anchor Is
also sinking in its 6o-foot shaft and
will go to a depth of 200 feet before a
drift is turned on the vein, is good news
to everyone interested In the Rosebud
district No one who has ever examined
the surface showings and the trenches
and shallow shafts Of the camp has any
doubt Of the value and permanency of
the ore bodies, but skeptical people
people who have the capital necessary
to make mines-haye to be shown

While there is no q +he
values are here, it mus d
three shafts going dow n
demonstrate the existe. re
bodies in this lamp sut sat
isfy the most i~ncredulous.
This work on the Brown Palace means
even more. 1t means that there will
shortly be a great demand for leases.
These will be given out in all parts of
the camp. and the leasers are the mine
makers. 1t means that within a short
time the men with the dinner pails-and
there will be hundreds of them-will be
going up and down the trails: it means
that hoists will be raising riches from
the depths: tina the days of prosperity
so long delayed will arrive. and the dis
trict will come into its own-the Rose
bud will begin to bloom.-Rosebud Min
