patch, for the magnificent surface
showing indicated rich values below,
and when the development work had
reached little more than the initial
stage the wisdom of the company in
selecting the property as winner was
fully proven. A number of shafts were
sunk about 400 feet apart, all connected
by long cross cut, and as result of
the methods used in getting at the ore
veins, repeated shipments of high
grade" were made during the first
three months. At present little ore is
being brought to the surface, for the
reason that the company is sinking to
the 500 foot level, and then will up
! raise on the veins, which average
twenty feet and bear all the charac-
teristics of true assures. Considerable
tellurium is found in the high grade
ore of the Great Bend-and this is nota-
BILE for the first found in the district.
First Venture of Firm
Manhattan was the next camp to at
tract the attention of this enterprising
firm and when Mr.. Davis went to the
Round mountain section, sixteen miles
north, he found that his trip was worth
while, and in conjunction with ]. P.
Sweeney, J. S. Cook and Louis Gordon,
the original great strike was secured,
the Round Mountain Mining Company.
The ore from this mine is picture" +"
and a specimen in possession of the
Herald man is highly priced on ac-
count of its richness as we'll as for
the graceful manner in which it was
presented. The vein is remarkable in
that it can be traced for almost 5000
feet along the surface. runs nine to
thirty feet wide and pans free gold
every foot of the way. At the 170-foot
level the richest ore ever seen in Ne
Vada was taken out, some of which
runs up to 40 per cent gold. The sur
face silt is now being worked through
dry washers" and the first "clean
up" placed $4,000 to the credit of the
ing authorities are of the opinion that
the surface along the ledge will net
close to $50,000. The value of the ore,
excepting high grade in the lower
levels runs about $26, that alone maxi
ing a most valuable property. The
water mains and mill are now being
put in and enough ore is now in sight
to run the mill for years. President
Davis is also general manager of the
company, and he, with Mr.. LOTUS, is
heavily interested in the Round Noun

Combination Fraction Mine
Mining ground in Goldheld, like real
estate on Broadway New York, is

with the Combination Fraction Min
