| liminary steps have ali been taken ano
Searchlight is now to all intents ano
purposes city of the third class. There
yet remains the holding of an election

| Probably the most interesting new de-
velopment of the week. adjacent to this
| camp, Is the entry for the first time OF q
company into the Sunrise section that
purposes to do extensive development
Il is to be known as the Old Mizzoo Gold
Mining company, and its representatives
on the ground are j. j. Smith, secretary
and general manager, and M. D. Jackson
treasurer. These gentlemen are from
Sweet Springs, Mo-, where they occupied
respectively, the offices of mayor and
marshal, and where also their president
], f. Evans, is still a resident The last
named Is the leading mule dealer In that
state.
The Sunrise section is practically all
located and of late, particularly during
the past twelve months, there have been
repeated and insstent reports of gold
surface finds.
The Blossom mine has broken into nine
feet of good looking ore. The breaking of
cessitated the shutting down of the
Searchlight mill for two days. The cam
shaft for the Cyrus Noble mill, which is
under lease to the Blossom Mining COM
pany, has arrived at the mine and is be-
ing operated successfully.
Starts Work
The Fortuna mine in Eldorado canyon,
east of Searchlight, near the Colorado,
has resumed operations. Foreman Flynn
is in charge of the work. The new opera
tions will consist of sinking No. shaft,
now at depth of fifty feet. to total
depth of 175 feet. then to drift 200 feet
to connect with No. 2 shaft, which is now
down to the 25O-foot level. The work will
be watched with interest, because the
richest ore from this property came out
of the No. shaft. At the latter there is
now 800 tons or the dump, and it is de-
clared to be good grade.
Most sensational reports are received
from the Lloyd-Searchlight. Superintend-
ent Willis has made known the results of
late assays, several of which run up into
four figures.
These samples came from depth of ap-
proximately 1870 feet. Here the vein waved
into the shaft and grab samples were
taken and brought to Searchlight for an
alysis.
"A Zi-lnch streak ran $zobS, Wnlle another
heavily oxidized streak lying alongside
returned S16S. Equally remarkable was
the assay of the decomposed granite on
the foot wall side which went s19. In all
there appears to be twelve feet of vein
matter.
| The property at Sunrise, east of town,
recently purchased by Kansas City par
ties of David Davies. has been incor-
porated as the -Sextette Gold
Mining company, of which o. G. Davies
of the same city is the head.
The first prospecting and assessment
work on the six claims has just been COM
pleted and the new owners state that
good values have been found on the sur
face and on the whole that their first
high estimate of the property has been
still further confirmed.
