of about sixty feet. The ledge on
this claim is thirty feet wide on the
surface and assays are said to show
copper values averaging between 8
and 9 per cent.
The showing on the Peerless
claim, owned by Messrs. Fallon,
Kimmel, Warren and Ehlers, is very
good. Miners who are familiar with
the product of the famous LudEig
mine have hard work distinguishing
the ore from the two places. Exten-
siye development work will be start
ed on this piece of ground in a few
months. Plans are being made to do
about 500 feet of work in the shape
of a crosscut tunnel drifts, etc, and
when the work is started it will be
pushed along as rapidly as money
and Drawn can do it.
The Success group, Nos, /, 2 and
8, has an excellent copper showing
and assays running better than $3.50
per ton have been obtained from
picked samples close to the surface.
Enough work has not been done tc
determine the size of the ledge but
it is thought that it will compare
favorably with those previously men.
toned both in values and size.
To sum UP the situation, the Clip.

prove to be a high grade copper camp
and within a year from now it may
confidently be expected that higt
grade copper ore will be shipped il
considerable quantity from the dis
trict.-Lyon County Times.

with great interest, as it mea the
opening up of one of the greatest
mines in the desert region, the show
ing at this point of development be-
ing greater than any mine found in
late years.
With the striking of $1,000 ore in
the Crackerjack Bonanza it seems
certain that Crackerjack will become
known as a shipper of high grade
ores as well as a producer of the
lower grade base ores, for which it
has been chiefly noted heretofore.
The new strike has given great i'm
petus to work on both slopes of Bo-
nanza mountain, and it is more than
likely that other great strikes will
soon follow those already reported.
While no other finds Of much import
ance have as yet occurred In that

tapping each other all over the noun
tain and far out onto the fats on all
sides, and it is feared that serious
trouble will ensue over conflicting
aims.-Crackerjack News.

MINING NOTES

While all the men who can be OBJ

the daily output is only about suffi-
cient to meet the daily demands, No
coal is being produced for the rail-
roads for storage purposes.

After ~protracted negotiations the
mine operators have at last secured

SETS new PACE In NEVADA
Mines.

Sensation upon sensation appears
to be the routine at the Silver Legion
mine of the Eldorado-Nevada Mining
& Milling company at Mob hill.
Though the management of the
mine has had hardly time to even
begin to open up their ore bodies, the
values coming in and the quantity Of
ore being extracted sets a new pace
in Southern Nevada mining.
In the west drift on the S5-foot
level, where last week a narrow
streak of heavy sulphide ore was
encountered, the streak has widened
to twelve inches, and accompanying
this are specimens Of ore that carry
sensational values.
Though no assays have been taken
on this side of the shaft, a COMPARE
son with the ore to the east, which
runs from $45 up to $1,000 per ton,
it is easy to estimate that the west
drift contains mineral averaging $3.50
a ton, and there is enough in sight
to make the management optimistic
as to the future production of the
mine.
While this ore can be considered
a gold-silver product, there are speci-
mems of native and wire silver that
bring this article up into the thou
sands of ounces.
A popularity about the ore is that
on n side of the pay streak the
heavy iron. sulphurets carry often as
high as 500 in gold and 5000 in
silver, while on the other side the
sulphurets are absent to any degree
and the native silver appears. The
silver ore resembles closely some of
the product of the famous Molly
Gibson mine at Aspen, Colo.
To date no attempt at stopping has
been made, but Superintendent Her
man Spanogle, whose excellent mar
agement has made the Legion a pro-
ducer, is contemplating opening up
the ground above the S5-foot level
and working out the ore in order to
obtain funds for the establishment of
a hoist and pump for the 1S5-foot
level. Thus far the east drift has
been advanced about 120 feet, and
as the ore shoot is still in the face,
this will give an ore body 120 feet
in length by e~ighty-five feet high,
and from eighteen inches to two and
a half feet wide, or about LOO tons
at an average valuation of 500 per
ton, or approximately 100000.
While this ore is being taken out
and shipped the west drift will be
advanced and a reserve blocked out
on this side OF the shaft, insuring
steady production.
This pay streak is all shipping ore,
but the mine Is producing a large
quantity of milling ore, both drifts
being driven in this quality of min
eral.
As the pay streak has been cut on
the 1S5-foot level showing a consid-
the 1S5-foot level, showing a con
sistent widening with the additional
100 feet in depth, it is reasonable
to suppose that the ore body is con
tinuous and that at another 100 feet
even larger ore bodies are to be
found.-Searchlight News.

Rich Strike Reported in Clear Creek
The report of another rich gold
strike has reached Manhattan. The
news was brought by Morris ellis,
who has just returned after locating
several claims. The find was made
by a party of prospectors on July 5
on the western slope of the Toiyabe
range in the Clear creek section.
about three miles east of Green's
ranch in the Reese River valley, AVID
due east of Bonita. F. F. Smith,
G. n. Gooding, Chris Weber and
Jack Leehy were the lucky prospec-
tors who made the discovery and
have located a number of good claims
upon which they have done the loca-
ton work and are now busy sinking
a shaft and sacking ore that runs
$500 in gold per ton. The values
were found in a porphyry dixie that
shows a width of from twenty-five
to forty feet at surface and free gold
paintings are obtainable for the en-
tire width. The ore that is being
sacked is taken from a narrow streak
that is found in the porphyry.

.SACKING RICH ORE
At BROWN PALACE

Great is Rosebud! Great is the
Brown Palace!
Captain Case, manager of this vast
storehouse of gold and silver, awaits
only the arrival of the big freight
wagons from Humboldt to make the
first shipment of high grade ore from
the Rosebud district.
The policy of the management of
che Brown Palace has been distinct
lively one of conservatism. The prop
erty is not one that has needed ad-
vertising. 1t has been Captain Cases
desire to thoroughly prospect and
develop the property under his
charge before making any shipments.
He had no wish to rush a few sacks
of ore to the smelter and then stop
to develop the property before he
could ship again. His idea has been
to develop thoroughly, and then,
shipments once begun, they would
continue uninterruptedly. That
point has now been reached.
Work on this estate is going ahead
in four openings. No. l tunnel is in
about 300 feet and No. 2 has been
driven more than 1870 feet. From
fifteen to eighteen feet per week are
driven in each of these tunnels. No.
is about thirty feet lower than No.
1. When the ledge is encountered
in each of these laterals an upraise
will be made from No. 2 to a level
with No. / and drifts run to connect
them. Meanwhile on the two shafts
on top of the hill will be going down
to connect with the drift. The vast
bodies of ore which outcrop can then
be handled economically and ex-
peditiously.
No. l shaft on top of the hill is
going down on twenty feet Of ship
ping ore. Not only is the shaft all
ore-ore on four sides and ore in the
bottom-but it is in the center of a
vast ore body opened up in all di-
rections-more than twenty feet
wide, and only one wall has been
encountered.
The ore is being mined faster than
it can be sacked and is heaped up in
piles around the shaft. The ore i:
there. Ore that is ore. Ore with sill.
yer glittering all over it's sides-ore
with streaks of pure silver half an
inch in width running through il
that would only need it's edges
milled to pass current as Uncle
Sans coin of the realm.
But that is not all. Captain Case
has started another shaft about 200
feet further east on another shool
of ore which, if possible, is ever
richer than that in No. / shaft. Mer
are also busy here sacking prac.
tically everything that comes out O
the hole.
The ore from both shafts is sorted
into irst-class and second-class, an(
the rock of the latter grade will also
be shipped as soon as means of trans
%portation can be secured.
Foreman Blask has twelve men a
work and more will be put on a,
soon as possible.
