TWO RAILROADS
FOR GREENWATER

Nevada newspapers announce that
the Salt Lake railroad system will be
extended to the Greenwater district. j.
Ross Clark. vice president and gem
eral manager of the San Pedro & Salt
Lake railway, and president Of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railway, has author
lied this statement Mr.. CLARK said:
I'VE have kept pretty close tab on the

district has future, and we are going
to build a branch from the Las Vegas

"The two railroads now assured will
give excellent service. The Salt Lake
route will afford direct access to the
custom smelters of Utah. and the Tono-
pah & Tidewater, through the santa
Fe. will give equally direct access 10
Arizona smelters. This is a highly de-
sirable situation for any young copper

This is corporation organized under

$1,250,OO0 divided into shares of the
par value of $1.OO each. Since it's or
ganization $4,000 has been expended
In development. 1t has identified with
1T a number of gentlemen of very high
standing. in business circles in this
city and throughout the east, The
property of the Nippeno Mining Com
pany consists of IL mining claims of
20 acres each, comprising 220 acres in
the entire property, situated in the
Crescent Mining District, Lincoln
county, Nevada, about four miles from
the California boundary line and seven
miles east of Nipton, San Bernardino
county, California, station on the
San Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake
Railway. There is a postoffice within
two miles of the mine at Crescent, Ne

nection from the mine to Nipton,, Cali

in mineral zone that practically ex-
tends from Tonopah on the north.

ty, Bullfrog, Crescent, Searchlight, Col

ands of people have invested in the
mining business at a profit.
Inc development of the mines con-
sists Of a number-of shafts from which
levels have been turned off, and hum
dreds OF feet of drifting and cross
cutting done, developing numerous
shoots Of payable gold ore. In places
small amounts of galena and copper
carbonate are observed, which has been
found usually to indicate higher grade
OF ore than is generally found. The
richest gold is found in the fracture
planes of the veins in pockets.
The property is so extensive in area
that its possibilities have not been
wholly determined as yet, but it is
known that there are several veins in
addition to those upon which develop
ment work has been done, which prom
ise from superficial development to
open up as well as those already /ex-
plored to the depth of several hundred
feet.
Professor Stirling ventures the opin-
ion that the zone of oxidation will be
found TO extend to a depth of 700 feet
or more and that the mine workings
have not yet reached the depth at
which the maximum of secondary en-
richment may have occurred, or in
other words, in his Nopinion the deeper
development OF these veins may result
in the discovery of still richer ore than
any heretofore found in these veins.
The company considers that the de-
velopment of the property has now adj
vanced sufficiently to warrant the erec-
tion of a 10-stamp MILL

WEALTH OF SHASTA
MINES MARVELLOUS
Extent Of the Rich Copper Zone Greater Than
Butte Observation-Disclosures Copper Company
Building Railroad to Handle Ore

| treat the ores from the Hornet mine
owned by the company.
The company has changed its plan
for building a railroad to the Hornet
and now instead of constructing an
electric road, steam will be used and
the line will go direct to the mine. The
former plans were to terminate the
road 400 feet below the mine and to con-
vey the ore from the dumps through a
shoot. The new road will tap the COM
pany's road to Iron mountain at Boul-
der creek The new arrangement will
lengthen the road almost a mile to
overcome the elevation of 400 feet, but
in the long run 1t will be cheaper, for
the shoot will not be maintained and
hoist for hauling timbers and sup
plies from the road will not be, put In.
The Hornet mine, few miles from
the Mountain Copper company's big
property at Iron mountain, is said to
be the largest deposit of copper ore In
the state. The ore is of low grade,
but will pay for treatment on the
large scale proposed. a new tunnel at
lower level is being run on the mine,
and in order to prosecute this work the
company is hauling timbers and other
material over the mountain roads, q
distance OF three miles The timbers
are to be used to make the mine Sc
cure and to build bulkheads and ore
bins.
Building Railroad
Construction Of the road has already
begun and every man making applica-
ton is given work on the grades. 1t
is stated that the road will be COM
pleted inside of a year and by that
time the smelter at Keswick will be
ready to handle the raw ore and re-
duce 1t into copper bullion,
The Mountain Copper company's
smelter has been idle for several
years. 1t was closed down soon
after the labor troubles and most
of the machinery removed to Mar
tinez, where the company has
erected a large reduction plant
Since the shutdown Keswick has been
virtually dead, but now has taken on
new life and boom is predicted for
the property which a few months ago
was not worth one-tenth its original
value.
Old-timers are drifting back into
Keswick and many of the houses which
have been tenantless are already spoken
for. The news of the reopening of
Keswick smelter is the best that has
been given out in the county for sew
eral years. With the big plant again
running Shasta county will reach first
place on the list of f>inineral-producing
counties in the state. When the smell
ter reopens there will be five large
smelling plants in the country in opera
ton, and these will give employment
to over 5000 men, not counting the men
employed in the mines, which will
probably be over 1000 more.

BIG DEALS GROW
IN GOLD MINING
LOS ANGELES BUSINESS MEN
INTERESTED
Strike on Rosebud Claims Near Gold
field. Causes Local Syndicate to
Buy Adjoining Property Known
as Granite Group

Los Angeles now rivals Denver for
l1onors in the mining industry. This
city has been a strong support of the
Searchlight and Goldfield camps and
it's people are now giving financial
backing to the mines of the rich Man
haitian district.
One week ago a big strike was re-
ported on the Rosebud claims, where
ore assaying as high as $500 was said
to have been encountered. The fol-
lowing day a party OF Los Angeles
business men closed a deal whereby
they became the owners of the Granite
group, which adjoins the Rosebud
property on the south and on the
same ledge, and within 800 feet of
where the rich find was made on the
Rosebud property. Senator Oddie of
Goldheld bought up nearly all of the
outstanding stock of the Rosebud
property and development will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
Form Strong Company
The owners of the Granite group
have Incorporated a company under
the name of the Manhattan-Co Cocktail
Mining company and will place a core
drill in operation on the property i'm
mediately to determine the size and
value of the six lodges owned by the
company. Manhattan is enjoying an
awakening and, as this camp is the
home of the true fissure Vein, great
things are expected of her mines. AL
ready several Manhattan stocks have
reached the dollar mark, which sold
only a short time ago for a few cents
per share and this camp threatens to
rival Goldheld in it's wonderful pro-
ductionof the yellow metal.
Local business men and others who
have mining interests look for sensa-
tional developments in the Manhattan
district,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

Recent developments in the cele-
brated Shasta, California, copper sec
tion warrant the statement that the
stupendous copper resources of Shasta
county, their amazing extent and
demonstrated richness, are almost in
credible. While the interest of the
mining world is centering more and
more in this district, not more than
an inkllng of the enormous scope of
Shasta's copper-bearing zones has yet
reached beyond the confne of the
county, unless IL be to such distances
as Salt Lake, New York, Boston and
London.
The Butte district. for illustration,
says the Redding Searchlight, is con-
fined to territory a mile square. The
ore bodies there are. of course, enor-
nous, rich and of unknown depth. It
is not sought to minimize the Butte
district. In Shasta county the dis
trict Is of unknown extent and affords
no comparison to be easily grasped
and appreciated.
Great BaIakIaIa Group
"The reac II, however, will be able to
appreciate In it's comparative aspects
the statement that the Balaklala
mines OF this district, covers two miles
square, or a territory twice the ex-
tent of the entire Butte district.
Fully 100 tunnels on the Balaklala
mine are every one in ore.
"Over year ago the main working
tunnel of the Balaklala was in q dis
tance of HOO feet, ore being encour1-
tered eighty feet from the mouth of
the tunnel and continuing in for the
rest of the LOO feet,
"Out of the mouth of this main
working tunnel, at that time, was
flowing to waste in gulch a stream
of copper water filling an ordinary
sluicebox to a depth of nearly four
inches. Whether this water carried
recoverable values worth saving it is
not here presumed to state, but such
a flow of leach at the Iron Mountain
mine, in its heyday, was popularity sup
posed to represent in the watts in the
neighborhood of thousand dollars a
day.
"The Balaklala is but one of many
great mines on the Shasta copper belt,
representing district where a dozen
immense smelters may employ thou
sands of men and build populous towns
and cities"
