new COPPER BELT
RICHEST KNOWN

largest coppe belts in the world is
the section extending from the north
ern boundary of Humboldt county
for twenty-five miles into Oregon.
This large mineral area commences
near DEMO and follows the course
of the Pueblo mountains. Besides
having great length the copper Delt
is over ten miles wide.
A. Lundin, who arrived in Winnie
mucca from DEMO a few days ago
brought in a large lot of samples oil
copper ore which he will take East
with him to place on exhibition. The
samples all show a good percentage
in the red metal, besides carrying
fair values in gold and silver.
On the Markle and Furguson group
three men are at work on a 12-foot
ledge of copper ore, this being one
of the best showings in the district.
On the Viking group, owned by A..
M. Williams and associates, seven
men are at work developing the prop
erty. The principal work going on
al the present time is a tunnel which
is in 375 feet. This tunnel is being
run to crosscut the large mineral
belt, which shows immense bodies
of ore on the surface. Besides the
long tunnel which is being run, the
property has been explored by num-
erous pits and cuts, showing that
the copper covers a large ares OF ter
ritory. Mr.. Williams and associates
have a large number of claims in
the group and expect to do a large
amount of development work.
The group belonging to the
Thompson brothers has a good show
ing and a crosscut tunnel which is
being run is in $50 feet.
On the Mohawk group, belonging
to William McMasters, there has no
been very much development worl
done, but the property has big show
ings of ore on the surface.
The group of claims owned by c
w. Garfield is the pioneer group il
the belt and considerable develop
ment work has been done on thi
property. A tunnel in 500 feet ha
cut through a large body of ore an
the bore is being extended on to Gu
two other large deposits which out
l crop on the surface. Mr.. Canfel
has been in the district a great nun
Z Der of years and has great faith
its future.

great outcrops of copper ore. A go

claims, has good surface showings.
