A LARGE
COPPER STRIKE

In the following from the Reno
evening Gazette, w. M. Anderson
tells of some sensational discoveries
in the new mining district in the
Antelope range in Humboldt county,
and claims that he has one OF the
largest strikes ever made in Nevada.
One Of the claims, Mr.. Anderson
states, will be shipping high grade
copper ore within a week. His report
to the Gazette is as follows:
1.-THE new district is located in the
Antelope range, about so miles from
by accident, but since prospecting it
have found that the district is more
than eight miles in length. / have
opened up a ledge that will average
50 per cent copper and also give val
ues in gold and silver. A miner and
l sank shaft on the ledge and en-
deavored to discover the width Of IT,,
and although we found it more then
16 feet wide at depth of ive feet,
we have as yet to find either of fhe
walls
"The ore is grey copper AM there
is an abundance of native copper
In just four hours work we COX out
five tons of the rich stun, aich will
show that we have an unlimited
amount of rich ore We took three
different assays from the ledge at
different points, which ran as follows:
Forty-one per cent, AZ per cent and
So per cent, and some of it went as
high as 20 per cent. There are no
large groupings, but the ledge can be
traced for more than mile. | have
located five groups of claims on thu
ledge, and across the valley at a dis
tance of about mile another mar
has also taken up some rich ground.
THE new district will be known is
the Red Butte district and he town
sic have located will be called
Bonita Springs. We have an abunda-
ance of water and plenty of wood in
the district, and as we are only 40
miles from Humboldt House, we can
easily ship our ore. We are also close
to the Western Pacific.
Shortly after l made the discov-
cry B. G. Ramel, who owns claims
near mine, sold his properties for
0,000, although they are totally un-
developed We intend to ship our
first carload of ore next Saturday, and
from then on will make regular ship
ments. -
