The NEVADA MAMMOTH
GOLD MINES COMPANY
An Interesting Report This Property bv an Eno;oeot
Mining Engineer

The following is part of an experts
report submitted to his employer upon
the Cambridge group of gold mining
claims Is miles south of Yerinoton
All that portion of the report pertaining
to machinery, mills, cyanide and the
best manner of working the property is
eliminated, as being uninterestinp to the
general reader of mining news. There
have been several reports upon this
group of mines of the most favorable
character. The property has been in
corporated under the laws OF Nevada
The owners and incorporates are well
known citizens of Lyon county AMI the
incorporation is not for speculative pur
poses, but for work development, the
ore being mostly free milling. The de-
velopment is such as to show plenty of
ore in sight that will plate from $40 to
$50 per ton, while the concentrates
show values running into the hundreds.
The property consists of 26 claims or
not one of which does not show more or
less milling ore. The owners are ncor-
porated under the name of the Nevada
Mammoth Cold Mining Company with
its principal Office located in Yerington.
The company now has men at work
getting out and piling up ore for milling,
=
mill for the purpose of pounding out the
genuine stuff as it came from the plastic
hand of its Creator. Parties are already
applying for leases on some of the com
pany's claims, and as it will be impossi-
Bile to work them all at once BY the COM
pany. Some of these leases. will be
granted. The prospects are open to all
for examination and test, and parties
having the capacity in the way OF means
and muscle will be accorded fair deal
at a reasonable royalty with an agree
ment to mill their ore at a reasonable
figure.
After giving the location of the prop
erty as being about Is miles south of
Yerington and the number of claims,
following is the report:
About one and one-half miles from the
Walker River with sufficient water for
ten months in the year to operate any
reasonable amount of machinery, With
the aid of pumping plant water for
the plates could be supplied for mill
located at the base of the ridge in which
and around and contiguous are some
one, strike north and south; the strike
of the one alluded to is east and west,
hence it is vein and known as No, I.
This No. is four to FIVE feet wide and
crops from the fiat up the ridge alluded
to for distance of about 500 feet where
it crosses or intersects the main Cam
bridge vein hereinafter described. There
are shallow openings on this No up
the ridge showing the vein in place and
of the width of four to FIVE feet the pam
nings from these openings indicate So to
$40 per ton. But aside from its value,
the location, strike and width of the
vein recommends 1t especially as the
key to the working OF the twelve claims
before mentioned The owners having
this object i'll view commenced tunnel,
running at an angel to tap this vein,
intending then to follow to its intersec-
ton with the main Cambridge vein be-
fore alluded to, the distance being about
1900 feet from where this tunnel would
cut No. 7, at the base of the hill. This
tunnel would cut the main vein at
depth $50 feet, or $50 feet below the
deepest workings as hereinafter men
toned, done on the main Cambridge.
This tunnel to cut No 7 was calculated
to reach the No. vein at 20 feet, but
as usual with inexperienced men they
