RICH ORE IS FOUND
ON THE ROSE LEASE

w. A. Rose passed through Nina
Tuesday on his way back to Duluth
from Reno where he has been for sew
eral days buying up a lot of ore sacks
to be used in shipping out a lot of ore
from his lease on block I of the July
claim owned by Nichols, Fife and Bills.
Mr.. Rose states that he had IA inches
of ore averaging s2,614, and has five
tons on the dump which he is now sack
ing and preparing for shipment to Salt
Lake City via Nina. This makes the
fifth lease in shipping ore on the July
claim and a total of nine shippers in
the Duluth district at the present time.
The Sonora Leasing company has
struck a second vein in their tunnel
which is being run on the Climax claim.
The width of the vein is IL feet and the
average clear across the vein is $273.09.
The rock is free milling and free gold
shows in a number of seams through
the ledge. Superintendent Shide reports
the tunnel now in a total distance of 227
feet from the mouth, and they expect to
strife the rich July high grade in about
so feet this will give them a number of
rich veins to crosscut on and they now
have a large ore reserve already blocked
out Oh their first block of s~oInI.

$4,000 ORE OPENED UP
BY A DULUTH LEASER

Another sensational strike was made
on the July claim. one OF the original
Bills and Fife locations, says the Nina
Miner.
A shot disclosed n shoot of about
as rich ore as was ever seen In Nevada.
This was made in the bottom of the
25-foot shaft of the Yonker lease when
a shot opened up a regular jewelry
store of gold. The shoot is two feet
wide and is widening and getting richer.
Samples of ore taken from this last
strike give returns of $4,000 per ton.
The strike has not only created great
excitement in the camp, but the miners
and investors are flocking in from all
the surrounding country. the camp of
Phonolite almost being depopulated by
news of the astonishing strike. w. A.
Rose the manager OF the property is
now in Carson City on business. but
is expected bach by Sunday. In addi-
ton to the shaft the property is being
worked by means of n tunnel which is
also in good ore. Already the ore
blocked out gives the property the right
to rank with the Mohawk of Goldheld,
and it is believed by those competent
to judge. owing to the well ein
lodges, that II will discount that prop
erty.
w. A. Rose. one of the leading opera
tors in the Duluth district came in last
night from Carson City and Reno where

w. f. G~elsthorpe. of the Fairview
Mining and Investment company, has
returned from a business trip to Gold
field. While there he sold the Great
Falls claim to the Nevada Hills Annex
Mining company. which is composed of
Scott e. Amann of Goldfeld and some
Colorado Springs people. for a good con-
sideration. The mine was the property
of Mrs. w. T.. Gelsthorpe. 1t adjoins the
Ohio and is 500 feet from the Nevada
Hills property. There is a 30-foot ledge
of black manganese on the claim. from
which some very good values have been
obtained.
The new owners have decided to sink
q 2c0-foot shaft o the ledge. and work
will be started on it at once. There has
as yet been no development work done
OH the property, but owing to it's ex-
ofllent location and the values obtained
f'om the black manganese, it is thought
that it will eventually prove to be one
of the big mines of the camp. The stock
of the company will soon be placed o n
the market, and the first block will be
foated at 122R cents per share.
IL is expected that the first allotment
of stock will soon be taken up by in
yestors owing 70 the excellent location
OF the property. Much of the stock
hes already been spoken for.-Faie lew

a pump as soon as they are unable to
handle the water with buckets. and an
other contract has been let to sink the
shaft to the 3oo-foot level where the
crosscuts will be rum. The presence oil

feel somewhat elated. as the values
usually appear after his level is
reached.
The development work on the Red
Star is progressing very rapidly under
the management of James sword. The
present work consists of several shafts
on the immense vein that traverses the
entire length of the property. A per-
manent shat is being sunk to water
level. where crosscuts will be run to in
tersect the ore body. This property is
one of the most promising prospects in
the Crescent district. the being being 30

During the past month. several pieces
of ore were found in the tunnel of the
Ohio mine that resembled fixed" speci-
mems, but after a close inspection the
thought was dispelled as the ore was
similar to the one foot streak that had
been cut through in the tunnel a dis
lance of about so feet from the portal
and was all specimen ore. Superintend-
ent Scherrer is now drifting on the vein
to ascertain the extent and value of this
find.

In addition to other supplies. Mr.. Rose
takes to Duluth 5000 ore sacks. ore
is being sacked on one of his leases that
will go better than $500 per ton. He
left today for Duluth as word has just
been brought to town that another rich
shoot has beeen opened up on the Yon-
ker lease of which he is manager.
Parties here have purchased the To-
stamp at Ellsworth, a short distance
from here and the same mill will be
moved to this place and installed here.
The work of hauling 1T over here will
begin at once and 1t is expected that
stamps will be dropping on the rich

(From our own Representative.
a shipping property that has pay ore
from the grass roots. Over in Old
Crescent. two miles from the famous
Turquoise mines. the Eckerson Bros.
are sacking and shipping ore from their
Edna mine. While prospecting their
property last fall the owners found
some rich float. and by trenching soon
discovered the source of it's existence.
Further development convinced them
that they had ore that would stand
shipping. Old timers scoffed at the iGea
of finding rich ore on the surface and
1t was only after several shipments had
been made to the smelters that they
realized the importance of the find.
The shaft down 80 feet all in ore. that
is being sacked as il is taken from the
workings. following the course of the
vein at an angle of As degrees. The
vein averages 4 feet in width: values
are in gold, silver and lead. The ore
sacked as it comes out of the shaft
runs 500 a tor. and several tons of
sorted will run into the thousands. The
find has caused considerable excitement
recently, as the ore continues to get
richer as depth is attained. while the
ore body, which at first was rather fiat.
is now dipping at an angle of so degrees.
The ore is being shipped to the Needles
smelters, and With two shifts working
the management expect to ship a car
load a week from now on.
Water has been encountered in sink
ing the double compartment shaft on
the Big Tiger mine at a depth of 220
feet. At the 200-foot level a decided
change was noticed in the formation.
and the footwall material changed en-
tirely from the porphyry to an iron
stained quartz. The ground was very
moist, and from that point down the
change was very noticeable, as the seep-

GREAT SHOWING IN
THE WONDER DISTRICT

N. A. (Nick) Darcy. one of the most
prominent history makers of Wonder.
spent a few days in town this week with
his partner. Mr.. Hobson. and returned
to camp. where he has many heavy in
terests.
Mr.. Darcy said to a News representa-
tive: THE camp in general is making
good everywhere. At all points where
ore has been found on the surface it in
creases in value with depth and the ore
bodies show greater width. The ore
bodies are undoubtedly permanent.
People are coming into Wonder more
rapidly thar ever before. The snow has
gone and the roads are excellent. A
strong effort is being made to increase
ana improve the accommodations to keep
pace with the rapid growth in popula-
tion.
"On the Jack Pot sinking is in pro-
gress. The shaft passed out of the ore
at a depth of 65 feet in a vertical shaft.
The miners began to timber at 70 feet

and in cutting the bitches they en-
countered the ore again. At the hun
dred-foot level the company will cross
cut TO the ore.
THE same company on its Grand
View property is sacking ore. Two feet
of the ledge shows an average of $252
to the ton.
The Nevada Wonder is steadily en-
gagged on development work. Little in
formation can be secured from the Of
fic'als or men and 1t is currently be-
lie,ed that the Philadelphia crowd are
buying in the outstanding stock.
"Slendid showings are being made or

Horse and North Star. Ore is being
steadily developed and saved for ship
ment. The Spider and Wasp is steadily
improving. Four leasers are saving ore.
On our lease we are sacking rock that
runs from $3.50 to $500 to the ton.
"On the Wonder View we know that
there is shipping ore at two places on
the endlines of our Jumbo claim"

The number of dement's assigned
is pretty severe punishment. IL places
