GREAT REPORTS

RENO, April 27.-William Sin

haitian, arrived here yesterday from
the eastern part of the state, where
he had been inspecting various min
ing properties. Mr.. Sinclair is a
practical mining maj, having been
one of the early corners into Tono-
pah, and among the first leasers. He
is very enthusiastic over the camp
of Rosebud.
There has been a most wonder

velopment in Rosebud within the last

fault could have been found with the
work that had been going on there
up to that time.
The Brown Palace, which is
owned principally by Malcolm Mac
donald Of Tonopah, Bullfrog and
Greenwater, is a great mine, and
promises to be one Of the greatest

MOST PROMISING
IN lee DISTRICT
j. A. KIRBY RETURNS FROM Elk.
TENDED TRIP THROUGH
THE SOUTH.

j.. A. Kirby, of the firm of Kirby,
Lamb & Stoneham, leaves this morn
ing for Fairview and Wonder. Mr..
Kirby is one of the original owners
OF the Nevada Hills, in which great
property he holds his original in
terest. Recently he came through
the southern country from Los An
geles, taking in the Lee district,
where he has also several large in
terests. Mr.. Kirby is one of the
best mining engineers in Nevada,
and there is no higher authority on
mines than he in the United States.
He is very well impressed with the
Lee district.
There is quite a deal of work
going or in the district" said he,
and everything is most promising,
It is for the most part, a free mill
ing proposition, the formation being
in quartzlte and shale. The Inyo
Gold Mining Company, whose prop
erty is located on the California side,
has fifteen men at work, and there
is one shaft down to a depth of 100
| feet, all in ore, and another eighty
feet in depth, which is also in ore.
"The mine is owned, principally
by Salt Lake people, and have an
intaraGf IN a. u1vaoIf
"The Hayseed property, which is
owned by Taylor and Griffith Of
owned by Taylor and Grifiths Of
Rhyolite, is down 100 feet and Is
sacking 5000 ore.
There is a little excitement in the
Lee district, but as yet there hal
been no rush. The mineral belt hal
been located for a distance of tel
miles. 1t starts in Nevada and run
over the California line to the Dealt
Valley side. The district is located
in the Funeral range, with the Amar
gosa valley on the east and tn,
Death Valley on the west.
"The Skibo Mining Company
whose property adjoins that of tn,
1nyo company, is t,orking quite
number Of men, and they have SOM
very nice lodges and good ore. TIL
Sklbo, company is controlled b.
Schwab, Gillies and Macdonald, an,

which is a half or three-quarters 0

to anybody, but that the property will
be fully investigated and actively
worked. He pronounces this coun-
try as a whole a wonder. From a
mineral standpoint, and predicts a
prosperous future for it.
1t is not likely that the good has
all been seen by prospectors in that
neighborhood. The Casa Diablo fur
nishes proof enough that the lodges
are dependable, and that faults are
not to be figured on. IfNjs proved
to fair depth already, and the be-
lief is that the true fissure veins ex-
listing in that strip Of country go far
down. That neighborhood will make
a record, from all apprenticeship

SHIPPING ORE IN
DOGSKIN Mine
LARGE BODY OF HIGH-GRADE
MATERIAL IN CEDAR NOUN
TAIN ESTATE.

For the past eighteen months con-
siderable development work has
been advanced on a number OF prop
critics in Dog Skin district and very
little has been known, yet the very
fact that aggressive operations have
been advanced is sufficient to indi-
cate that good results were being
had. This section is old in a mining
way for more or less work has been
done in years gone by, yet, for one
reason or another, 1t was not prose-
cuted with the judgment necessary
to insure success.
The fact is that many thousands
of dollars have been expended on
properties there by outside people as
we'll as citizens of Reno and it has
generally been believed that the
values and strength Of the old shoots
were insufficient to warrant them be-
ing termed merchantable PROPOSE
tions.
However, for several months the
Cedar Mountain Copper Company.
whose manager is Frank B. Law
renee, have prosecuted work with the
result that there is now disclosed in
the bottom of the ifty-three-foot
shaft an ore shoot carrying values OF
from IL to 20 per cent copper and
as high as $12 in gold, with string
ers carrying even greater values. Al
this time the entire bottom of the
shaft is in ore of a sufficiently high
grade to be termed shipping ma
terial. This corporation owns the
Silver Plate, Emmanuel, Iron Crown
Gold Dollar, Gold Dollar No. l, Viola
and Cedar Mountain, and these prop
critics are situated on the west slope
of Cedar Mountain in Dog Skin dis
trict, eighteen miles north of Reno
On the Silver Plate a shaft has beer
driven down to a depth of hfty-thre'
feet as above indicated and whei
this work had advanced to a deptl
of six feet copper values were ha'

THE sHERwIN DISTRICT.
Part Of a Great Belt Containing Many
True Fissure Veins.

In the impending mineral develop
ment, no part of this region holds
forth greater promise than does the
section northwest OF here including
the Sherwin district and for a few
miles northerly. Readers r more
or less familiar with the great out
look Of the Casa Diablo group, which
a disinterested visitor last week pro-
nounced a million-dollar mine as 1t
stands, and a five million dollar mine
when the plans in view are perfected.
The Killian property is possibly next
In prominence, and work on it is to
be pushed along. Superintendent
Killlan added a few more men last
week to the working force of miners.
Prospects in various stages Of de-
velopment run in a long belt north
erly from these groups, with such
showings in several cases as to give
special point to Superintendent Fohr-
mans opinion that other mines no
less valuable than the Casa Diablo
may be opened up.
Tom Agnew's long known property
is near by, and the valuation set on
it gives evidence of its prospective
value, once 1t is developed to its best
showing.
Arthur Middleton and John Brock
mar have a group of eight claims
further up. Selected specimens have
given incredible assays, one going VI
to $4,000. The lodges, irrespective
of such unusual spots as this, show
high values generally. Dipping to
ward them is a h~ve-foot vein of about
SIS value at the surface, with prob
ably richer ore below. These claims
are in old Chicago district, where
years & T. c. Harness and Others
took out a considerable quantity o.
straight pure gold with hand labor
methods, in a short time.
Another company operating in thai
same belt is one incorporated in Den
yer last fall, called the Gray Butte
q. M. & M. Co. This is the n rep
resented here last week by A. II
Lewis, Of the Denver Internationa
Trust Company. The claims wer'
discovered by his associate, Mr.. Aus

SENSATIONAL ORE
IN BLACK ROCK

following the news of sensational
strikes in the southwestern part OF
Wonder districts on the Golden, Ricn
gulch and Colorados, comes the an
roancement that still further south
vest, and fully two miles south Of
that part Of the district in the same
range Of hills wonderfully high grade
ore has been opened up on the Black
Rock group. Samples taken give as
say values OF 50 to $500 in silver and
gold. Much Importance attaches to
this discovery from the fact that it
was supposed TO be outside of the
mineral zone, as It is six miles south
vest Of the famous Nevada Wonder
mine.
High grade ore was originally
opened up in the Jackpot and the Ne
