Ramsey. April IA number of sales
and options were the principal features OF
the week in the camp The discovery OF
another rich chute in the New Comstock
and the opening up of two feet Of better
ore in the 160 level of the Ramsey Com
stock furnished the excitement, to say
nothing of the streak of high-grade found
in the Coe lease on the Fisher mine.
Clark and Robinson have opened up sew
en- feet Of ore on the apex of the Clark
dixie that runs from sl4 to SIS a ton, an
oxide similar to that encountered in the
upper stratas of the dixie on the Ramsey
COmstOck ground. The new find is near
ly 400 feet higher than the dixie elevation,
and was covered with about fifty feet of
malapai, the dixie running under the cap
of Bonanza mountain on the eastern end.
Between the Clark Robinson lease and
the discovery dixie is the Hopkins tunnel,
being run to tap the dixie at depth with
out sinking through the cap. at this point
over 100 feet deep The wall of the dixie
was reached in this tunnel this week and
full shifts are now at work in the dixie
itself In the breast OF the tunnel inferior
in quality but strong and in place.
The Consolidated company has at last
received its timbers, hoist and other ma
terial and gang Of miHwrights are at
work on the gallows frame. This frame
is being made Of 12x12 sticks and will be
of enduring strength. which will save the
company another frame when the big en-
CINE is put on. The present hoist is a
25-horse-power gasoline engine of the
Fairbanks-MOrse type, and will be used
to the 90 level.
The directors OF the Bonanza company
were in camp few days last week and
outlined the development work for that
group, to be rushed as fast as possible.
Rich COe has a streak of high-grade on
his lease on the Fisher that is almost
dazzling in appearance. The streak is mar
row, well defined and e shaft is being
-
ledge, a usual formation in this district.
This lease is directly opposite, or side
ways from the Consolidated shaft, the
Dago No. 2 and Fisher being parallel
Harry Harris men on the New Com
stock have encountered a new vein of
quartz in the drift from the 200 in the
tunnel, and it is reported that this quartz
horns as we'll as any found in the dis
trict. Just how much or of what quail
ity cannot be learned at this time.
In the Wine OF the 160 of the Ramsey
Comstock the hanging wall Is being
stripped Of two feet of ore that surpas ses
the balance Of the ledge in quality. This
is the chute discovered three weeks ago
and the streak along the hanging wall
runs between 500 and $3.50 in value, with
the copper more diffused through the ore.
1t is also harder and easier to work.
f. ]. Northrup Of Chicago has taken
the Regain Gernant group for Chicago
people and will start development work
at once. The Silver City claim of this
group will probably be the first opened
up. The price is stated to have been s2O,-
500
Options have been taken on the Cent?
pede and Bottom Dollar groups and Kan
sas City mine makers have been in siz-
ing up several properties in different
parts of the district. The Walk-Over
company will begin operation in the near
future, and the Dayton group will be
opened up under the personal management
of Captain Davis of Dayton, one of the
most successful mine makers in the state.
In the camp itself. many newcomers
divide their attention between the ASSAY
offices and the offices of the big mining
companies. Everyone seems to want to
get in at once, and some fast trading has
been done here the last two weeks
The big pile OF sacks on the Ramsey
Comstock, to say nothing of the ore un-
sacked. the ore of the Consolidated. and
at the New Consolidated. and at the New
Comstock and Bonanza mines makes
every one anxious to get depth and full
shifts are at It in a dozen places.
