This property is regarded as one Of the
most promising of the camp. owing to an
immense porphyry dyke traversing the
entire length of the property and the
network of smaller veins having an
east-west trend. Good Mornings can
be had on the surface from the rock
of this immense assure, which Is about
80 feet in width. The only development
to date has been the location and assess
ment work, which has shown up some
very promising looking rock. Since the
recent visit of General Manager T.. H..
Pearl. contract is to be let to sink a
SKI foot shaft to water level and then
the ground will be thoroughly exploited
at depth. As the surface indications on
this property are far better than many
OF the proven mines in the camp, the
management is confident that they will
make good, and are preparing for ex-
tensive exploitation.
General Manager F. j. Abbott, of the
S~earchlight Mammoth has ordered a
Is horse power hoist, blacksmith shop,
living and work houses to be placed on
the property as soon as possible. The re-
cent strike in the shaft on this property
continues to improve. and at a depth of
so feet. many pieces of specimen ore are
found in the vein.
The Bamberger-Wheat1ey, Stanley
Forbes. and the Searchlight Mutual
situated at Summit Springs,
are preparing to build an immense shoot
for their ores, and saw considerable
time in getting their output from the
mines to Searchlight. AT the present
time there is a splendid road from
Searchlight to the bottom of the hills,
and from there to the mines a distance
of about one mile. II is almost impossi-
BILE to haul the ore down except with
great effort. Under the proposed change
ore can be taken from the mines and
landed on the railroad at S~earchlight
for a trifle of the former charges. This
great saving Will in a measure cause
much rejoicing among the operators in
this end of the camp.

EXTENDING AREA OF
SEARCHLIGHT DISTRICT

(From our own Representative.
Searchlight, New, Feb. 4.-The area
of the proven belt in the Searchlight
district is being gradually extended in a
northerly direction. During the past
FIVE years since ore was encountered on
the Blossom claim, little or no work
was lone north of this property, until
a year ago when the Nevada Console
dated Mines ompany took over the
MISUNDERSTANDING group, and COM
menced extensive developing. Three
shafts were sunk simultaneously on
different veins. and all encountered ore.
This was the signal for the rest of the
mence active work.
The fact has been proven that there
are valuable mineral deposits in this
district north of the camp, as the recent
showings indicate and with many COM
panies developing on an extensive scale.
the most sanguine expectations can be
realized. The ore showings in the Black
Dog and Lodi shafts of the Nevada Con
solidated, are very gratifying to say
the least, as the assays show hat the
values are higher than the manage
ment expected above the water level.
Inc cTOSSCut on the IOUl vein uiSciOStu
ten feet of high grade ore averaging
$55 and a similar cut or the 200-foot
level of the Black Dog revealed over
25 feet of ore running from $12 to SIT
per ton. These important strikes have
caused the management of the Cornu-
copia Mining company. owners of the
Greencorn group adjoining to
developing their holdings. The Green
corn claim is on the direct strike of
the Black Dog vein the extension of
which can be traced through the group
a distance of 1000 feet. 1t is the
intention of Superintendent McGhan to
start a shaft on this vein and sink to
water level where the best values are
always found in this district.
Eight hundred feet east of this prop
erty, on the Denver Boy claim, of the
Searchlight Gold Beam company, Super
intendent p. Sayles is sinking a working
shaft. In sinking the shaft he has cut
through IA feet of highly mineralized
quartz, assaying from $3.20 to SIG in
gold. Adjoining this property on the
South lies the estate of the Searchlight
Freen Gold Mining company, consisting
of Maine, New Jersey, Iowa and Georgia
Lode Mining claims, consisting of eighty
acres of highly mineralized ground.
