Cut ledQe On Black Butte

NJ. A. Smythe, the Vernon mining
man, was transacting business in
Lovelock Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. Mr.. Smythe informed the
Tribune man that he recently started
work on his Black Butte properties
Just west of Vernon and that he had
opened up a very promising ledge.
The new find was made in the breast
of a 25-foot tunnel and the ledge
shows a width of fully three feet.
No assays have as yet been made but
paintings show an abundance of the
yellow metal and Mr.. Smythe is con-
fident further development will re-
zeal something sensational.

Uncover Strong Veins
In New Mining Section

G. W. Taylor and John Wahren,
who are interested with J. ]. Macke-
don in a group of FIVE promising
claims Is miles west of Browns sta
tion, have returned to Lovelock after
a months absence to their property.
During their stay they did consider
able development work and were
successful is opening up several
promising ledges, all of which show
gold and silver values and give indi-
cations of developing into big pro-
ducers.
Mr.. Taylor stated that shaft had
been sunk to depth of 20 feet on
one ledge and in the bottom of the
shaft it showed a width Of fully four
feet, all of which showed more or
less values. Six inches lying next to
the hanging wall, however. is very
rich and late assays give returns Of
100 ounces in silver and $40 in gold.
Mr.. Taylor said there was veri-
table network of lodges running
through the property and it is his
belief that with proper depth nam.
moth body of ore will be encountered,
After the first of the coming year a
large force of miners will be taken
to the property and the work Of
opening up the ground will be car
ried out on an extensive scale.

This last outbreak on the part OF
the miners, and which will result in
making Gold6eld an open camp, was
brought about by the miners refusing
to accept scrip in part payment for
their wages. The scrip that was Of
fered in payment was that issued
from the banking house of John S.
Cook & Co., and was accepted by the
business houses, railroads and other
lines of business at its full face value.
Under the agreement signed by the
miners and operators last April the
miners agreed that mo strike or boy
colt would be declared unless by a
two-thirds vote of the organization
in favor thereof" The operators de-
clare that this agreement was gross
ly violated and that the present
strike was called by mere handful
of the agitators. On the other land
the miners declare the operators
broke the agreement by refusing to
pay their wages in gold.
Yesterday was the day set by the
operators for opening their mines.
Up to the time of going to press no
news has been received from the seat
of war. 1t is reported that over 500
men were being shipped in to take
the places of the strikers. No serious
acts of violence have been committed
as yet, and it is to be hoped that the
matter will be settled without blood

drastic measures had to be resorted

they announced that they will refuse
to give employment to anyone be-
longing to the Western Federation
of Miners, but have issued an ulti-
matum tnas the daily wage scale will
be $4 per day instead of S. as here
tofore. In order to bring the living
expenses down on an equal with the
wages the Mine Owners association
has also asked the merchants of
Gold6eld to make a reduction of 20
per cent of the present prices, and
state that unless this is done the
association will operate general
merchandise stores and boarding
houses.

Newspaper Man Sh0OtS
Bank WreCker at Nina

u 'patches say that last Tuesday
J. Il Imam Buck, editor of the Vest
ern Nevada Miner, published at Nina,
shot and killed Francis Burton.
A dispute arose over an attack
madr upon Burton by Buck in his
paper. Burton is said to have
threh tened Bucks life. and Buck pre-
pared for trouble. When the men
met suck pulled revolver and shot
Burh.n, killing him instantly.
Burton is the man who played a
partin the wrecking of the Gold6eld
Bank and Trust company in Goldfeld
two years ago. He was always con-
sideri d trouble-maker, and his life
was naveral times in danger owing to
the az Instant strife which he stirred
up in connection with land titles in
Goldi,sld.
A ew days ago Burton went to
Rawt lie and was informed by CON-
mittes that his presence was no
longe, desired. The committee of
the q liens ordered Burton to leave
the q, mp, and it was the article CON-
mentlrg upon this action and Bur-
tons asst record published in Bucks

the shooting.

ment DOne....VaSt Amount Of Work
planned for Winter Months.

1T is my opinion that the Geld
Circle district, located north of Win
nemuccs, will eventually become a
big producing camp" sal D. H.
Skea, the well-known mining engin-
eer from Mazuma, to Tribune man
yesterday. mo great amount Of
development work has been done as
yet. but the surface showings and
formation are ideal indications and
when the lodges are opened at depth
an abundance of shipping ore should
be found"
Mr.. Skea has just returned from
Gold Circle and Golconda, where he
has been examining properties for
Oakland, CAL, and eastern capitalists
and in giving a report OF his trip
sand that Gold Circle was surely in
line for a coming producer.
"A peculiarity of the Gold Circle
district" continued Mr.. Skea, lis the
large quantities of gold found in the
soil. From numerous paintings taken
from all over the district, the sho "
ing is great and it is believed that
not only will the lodges be rich and
productive, but that vast amount
of gold will be taken out of the
placer beds. The gold is very fine
but the paintings are among the
richest | have ever seen."
In speaking of the ledges Mr. Skea
said that they were not very large,
varying from five to sixteen inches
in width, but were we'll defined AMI
showed permanency. The veins at
the surface are purely slilclous and
the ore is free milling. The values
run all the way from $50 to several
hundred, and owing to the abundant
supply of water in the district, the
values can be extracted at small
sos., thereby doing away with the
haul to the railroad.
On the Midas property, where the
original strike was made, a number
of men are employed in sinking a
shaft, and Mr.. Skea said that depth
was proving the values higher and
the lodges stronger. Other opera
tors are preparing for a winters
campaign and it is thought by the
time spring rolls around several ship
pers will be opened up.

Vernon Mining Company

"On account of the stringency of

panicky conditions that now exist

ings for a short time," said Bert
Smith, secretary of the company,
yesterday. "Just as soon as condi-
lions will justify, which should be
some time in the early part of the
year, we will resume operations, and
intend to carry on development work
at that time on a much larger scale
than ever before"
Mr.. Smith is going to Reno. where
he will remain some time, combining
business with pleasure. When askel
concerning the developments on his
different properties, Mr.. Smith said
the mines we're in a good physical
condition. The principal work has
been devoted to the company's hold
ings in the Velvet district, south of
Vernon. At this place a shaft has
been sunk to a depth of 25 feet, be-
sides the accomplishment of vast
amount of surface development. In
the shaft a five-foot ledge of quartz,
identical in character with that found
in the Farrell mines, has been uncov-
cred. Mr.. Smith, other than stating
that the ore was of good shipping
grade. would give out no figures. He
also stated that a number of pros
pectors were working in and around
the Velvet district and that all were
opening up good lodges. Mr.. Smith
predicts a great future for the dis
trict and says there will surely be
rush to that section in the early
spring.

Monday from the Velvet district,
where they had been on prospect

locating several promising claims and
exhibited fine looking quartz broken
from a ledge that traverses their
new possessions. Both Messrs. Cub

praise Of the Velvet district and say
that while yet it has not been ex-
tensively developed, it shows every
indication of becoming a winner.

Dispatches from Goldfeld state
that threats have been made on the
life of Governor Sparks for his action
in having federal troops sent to Gold
field. Since his action in requesting
that troops be called out he has re-
ceived many threatening letters, and
among some of the arch agitators
his action has been condemned in the
bitterest terms. He was due to
arrive in Goldfeld yesterday, but
rapid developments in the situation
at Goldfeld and the fact that the
chief executive had planned to 60 to
that city on a certain day was known,
brought about change in plans.
He has been closely guarded, and
even before leaving Carson his resi-
dence was under constant surveil-
lance. If anything happens to him
it will be the signal for war, as he
has hosts of friends throughout the
state, and a campaign of extermina-
ton would be begun if he were as
sassinated. The memory of the
Steunenberg tragedy is still fresh in
the public mind, and nothing is being
left undone to guard against a repe-
tition Of that dreadful happening.

On Tuesday of this week the off,
cials Of the Salt Lake 4 Nevada Ex-
ploration company, deposited in the
First National Bank of Lovelock
$4,000 in full payment for the Wild
Cat claim located near Farrell in tho
Seven Troughs district. By the ac-
quisition of this property the Ex-
ploration company secures one of the
best claims in the famous district,
and together with the Little Hero
and Big Hero, constituting 60 acres
in all, will form the nucleus for
very strong mining company which
will be organized in Salt Lake next
week. The new organization will be
known as the Hero Consolidated Min
ing company, and the main office will
be in Salt Lake city.
Van D. Spalding and Captain Tib-
belts, two Of the principal stock
holders in the Salt Lake g. Nevada
Exploration company, returned from
Farrell last Sunday where they had
been making a final examination be-
fore taking the property over. When
seen by representative OF the Trib-
une, Mr.. Spalding stated that the
deal had been closed and that plans
had been made for carrying out de-
yelopment work on very large
scale. "We have awarded con-
tract to Livingston & France to sink
100 feet in the incline shaft on the
Wild Cat said Mr.. Spalding, "and
Tuesday 6-horse team carrying
tools, supplies and everything neces-
sary was sent to the property.
When the proper depth is attained
it will be our intention to install
modern machinery and neither time
nor money will be spared to thor
oughly and Systematically explore
the property. Both the Little Hero
and the Wild Cat have been opened
for several feet and the showings in
both will justify the assertion that
in time they will rank among the
foremost of Nevada's gold pro-
ducers.'
The shaft on the Wild Cat, which
is being sunk on the ledge and which
has slight dip, has reached depth
of 80 feet. The ledge shows fully
four feet in width and is becoming
wider as work advances. When
asked as to the values Mr.. Spalding
did not care to give any figures, but
stated that recent assays placed the
values far above the shipping grade.
The Little Hero is being pros
pected by tunnel, This tunnel is
being driven to intersect the juno
tion of the north and south and east
and west ledges which traverse the
property.
