 more cold bIoOded and uniustifiable a crime 1t appears to be.

Last Thursday the men at work in
the otero struck into a vein of high
grade ore that was alive with gold.
Some of the paintings showed both
fine and coarse gold in considerable
quantities, and experts, who ex-
amined the new strike, say the rich
vein IS three feet wide and will av-
erage better than $500 the ton. Prep
arations are being made for the
sacklng Of this rich ore for ship
ment.
The otero can now be classed as
one of the mines OF Manhattan. 1t
surely is no longer in the prospect
class, and with the completion of the
double-compartment shaft that 1t is
now being sunk as rapidly as possi-
Bile. and the prosecuting that is in
contemplation finished the Otero

GLOWING REPORTS
OF SEVEN TROUGHS
VEIN DISCOVERED CARRYING
ORE VALUED AT
$4,000.

Fred Redmond, one of the best
known of Western me~tallurgists and
biologists, who has been in Salt
Lake on a visit, linked" back to his
field of labors in the Seven Troughs
district, Humboldt county, Nevada.
Mr.. Redmond is the field representa-
tive of the Union Trust & Investment
company, operating extensively in
Nevada, and of which G. r. Cleaye-
land of Salt Lake is general man
ager.
Mr.. Redmond gives some glowing
reports of the values that are being
disclosed in the district and especial
ly in the properties of his W COM
pany. AS an instance of the posi-
bilities of the district, he related that
on behalf of his company he executed
a bond for the purchase of the
Desert View lode mining claim for
SIS 900. He put a force of men at
work and he disclosed a streak of ore
that runs $4,000 in gold per ton,
Four inches of the ore samples
$500 per ton, and a foot across the
vein yields returns of 1927 per ton
in gold and silver. This is something
of a promising prospect. and Mr..
Redmond says that is the richest
values discovered in that district
during the present year.
The result is that the bond has
now been taken up and when he was
here he carried with him the pay
ment of the cash portion of the trans
action, SIS. the balance, $4,000,
being taken in shares by the vendors,
at their own request.
Mr.. Redmond states that there are
some opportunities still open in the
Seven Troughs country and in ada
cent territory. He advises that a
hurry be gotten on by those who are
interested in the mining industry,
and declares that there are many
square miles in that part of the state
that have not yet been intelligently
p%rospected.

WILL BE VERY
ACTIVE CAMP
BALD MOUNTAIN COMING TO
THE FRONT VERY
RAPIDLY.

The Bald mountain mining district
in this county gives every evidence
OF becoming one of the active mining
camps in the state. A district nine
by five miles has been laid out. and
is said to be highly m~ineralized. The
camp is almost equidistant from the
three county seats, Ely, Elko and
Eureka, and by means of the n. N.
and Eureka & Palisade roads a good
outlet can be obtained for the ore
products. No difficulty will be ex.
%perienced in getting supplies.
The Copper Basin Mining company
has just finished bunk and boarding
houses capable of accommodating
100 men, and about fifty men are
now employed at the mines. The
properties of this company wern sold
several months ago by Robert
Skaggs, speaker of the assembly, for
100000, the first payment being
made about a month ago. Good cop
per ore has been exposed in all the
workings.
Senator 7. l.. Oddie of Nye has a
force Of men at work on a group
of mines which he acquired some
months ago. An excellent character
of lead r has been opened up on
a group recently incorporated by
Messrs. Burke and Ryan for Tom
Lawson of Boston.
Senator George Nixon and George
Wingfeld, who are the moving
spirits in the big Goldfeld merger
control a group in another section of
the district, which carries values in
gold as high as 5000. The other
portions of the camp are noted for
their copper and lead showings.
Ely people are heavily interested
in Bald mountain property. J.. II.
Curtis owns nineteen claims adjoin-
ing the Skaggs properties, while
Philip McKernan also has valuable
mines. AL Dees, who was contrac-
tor on the stage line between Ely
and Eureka three years ago, has
given options on all his mines for
sums aggregating $4,000.

LIKES ROUND MOUNTAIN

Louis u. Gordon. a Nevada mining
operator. was interview recently at
Salt Lake regarding the outlook fof
mining IN Nevada during the yea;
1907. While Tonopah and Goldfeld.
said he are somewhat handicapped
on the scarcity OF fuel, they are both
going ahead surely and steadily. "Ot
the newer camps, like Round Noun
tain the best. or course. my hold
ings there r large. but that does
not influence my views in the least.
Think of a camp less than a year
old with two mills, a stock exchange
and a bank. We have eight produc-
Inc mines there now and about a
dozen more that certainly stand an
excellent chance to become produc-
ers in the near future. The Round
Sphinx, the control of which was
recently purchased by New York in
iere SITS, Is one OF the big mines OF the
district. The last visit | made to
Round Mountain / had the pleasure
OF going through this mine with w
II. Clark, of this city. the general
manager. 1t is a wonderful mine.
Hundreds Of feet of drifting has
been done and the immense vein ex-
posed in numerous places. On the
ll0-foot level they have six feet OF
ore that runs nearly 5000 a ton in
gold. On the Round Mountain Min.
Ing No. 2 shaft is down $50 feet

richer than ever. More than $4,000
have been taken from the surface
OF this property with dry washers,
and they are still running. This II

TRIPLE SHAFT
FOR The DAISY

The new owners of the Daisy for
mally took charge of that property
Wednesday, Col. Posey receiving a
,y,re from New York to that effect.
the message advised him that it was
he purpose Of the directors to pros
ocnte the work of development with
vigor.
1T is entirely too early" said Col
onel Posey, ito say just what that
means, but ! may say that the mine
& a good one and we are going to
take out the ore that is in it with
such economy as proper equipment
and businesslike mining would
prompt in the management. We will
mt down a proper shaft in the first
nlace for the taking out of ore In
ouantity-speed and bulk-a three
compartment shaft. We will go
down-away down. When the de-
yelopment of the mine has reached
that point where ore can be taken
ont in quantity to warrant we pro-
nose to build a mill"
Colonel Posey was slow to talk
about the immediate plans of the
company, but said that new men
would be put in charge of the oper-
atoms at the works
The ores of this district" he
continued, will warrant the building
OF many mills. None of the big pro-
ducers can afford to continue to
ship their ores. To be sure, the ores
are rich, but that does not warrant
giving the big end Of the revenue to
the railroads. That mills have not
before been built sufficient to care
for the product OF the district is ex-
planned by the fact that the develop
ment has been done by the leasers.
They have had no interest in build
ing mills-it was their business to
gouge out the best they came In con
tact with at as little outside expense
as possible for the limited time they
had in which to operate. When the
owners of the properties take
charge It will be economy for them
to put money into equipment. The
~leasers were required to pay divi-
dends at once. With mills the ore
that is o thrown on the dump will
be made to produce revenue. Why,
IN any other country. this yalueless
SIS and 81 ore Is considered a bo-
nanza product. II will all be mined
here in a little time now. The Daisy
has not really been mined yet-and
II is a good mine ,-Goldield Trib-
une.

Old Belmont district is to the fore
with a big merger of a number Of
old properties. 1t is said these
dumps have over 100000 tons of
ore which will average more than
$40 to the ton in gold. silver and
copper. These mines have a record
output of s10.OOO,OO0, and it is sig
niicant that after twenty years they
should again be examined and taken
over by a strong corporation who in
tend active operations at once.

MUSTANG SHOWS
VERY RICH ORE

The strike of high-grade, gold
bearing rock on the otero in East
Manhattan alone would have put
Manhattan in a turmoil of excite
ment. But when on the same day
gold ore worth $50 to the pound was
brought up from the 21O-foot level
In the Mustang mine, the commotion
was extraordinary. People came
from Tonopah and Goldfeld to look
for themselves into the mine which
competent engineers have said has
a No chance of getting into the
Mohawk class. Miners who worked
in the Florence and the Mohawk at
Goldfeld when those properties were
IN the same stage of development as
tn Mustang now is, say that the
Mustang has many characteristics
similar to those record-beaters and
has richer showings.
The Mustang ore bodies that are
Just now the object Of so much In.
%terest, both at home and abroad, con-
sist of two parallel lodges which
have been cut by a crosscut north at
the 210-foot level. The first of these
is over four feet thick and will ay-
erage values of $S5 in gold. The
second ledge, about twenty feet
north of this, is three and a half feet
thick and will run 5000 to the ton.
On the hanging-wall of each of
these Lodges there two to three inches
Of ore that will run 100000 to the
ton.
This high-grade lies against a per-
fectly smooth wall and the entire ex-
tent of the lodges is permeated with
heavy sulphides.
These lodges run in a northeastern
" and southwesterly direction and
from surface indications extend
northeast into the estate of the
Broncho and Chipmunk Mining COM
panies. On the southwest the trend
is across the Thanksgiving, the Mus
tang Extension and the Wolftone Ex-
tension properties.
A. j. Lye. superintendent for the
Broncho Manhattan Mining COM
pany. made an examination OF the
Mustang mine Monday. To a repre-
sentative of the Mali Mr.. Lye said:
The Mustang looks to me like a
sure winner. The quantity Of quartz
beds they are opening up at this
depth, enriched as 1t is by these high
grade streaks. stamps the Mustang a
mine, The ore Is almost identical
with that taken out in the Florence
at Goldfeld. | believe, as in the
Florence, more drifting and sinking
win show up the high-grade in guam
tity.
THE Mustang crosscut to the
north indicates TO me that all the
workings are in quartz intermingled
in places with country rock, and with
greater depth will come together as
one big, solid ledge. The work done
in the Mustang and Broncho mines
has already proved that hill to be a
network Of mineralized lodges. and
in my mind It is only a question of
doing so much work to disclose the
mines below.-Manhattan Mail.

KEEP BEYOND THE LINE
Mining Man Sounds Warning About
Humboldt

A prominent mining men, well
versed in conditions prevailing in the
county Of Humboldt, New, stated
recently that a matter that should be
taken into careful consideration by
all prospectors going into Humboldt
county this summe is the condition
of much mineral land on both sides
of the Southern Pacific railroad
tracks. 1t should be well known
that this comnarv was granted ny
the government each alternate Sec
tlon of land within twenty miles OF
the railroad line. and the prospector
who takes up mineral land within
the tabooed extent is liable to find
trouble with the railroad company
in store for him, and at best some
very expensive and extensive litiga-
ton.
Fortunately, however, the county
of Humboldt is as large as II is rich
In minerals, and there is no reason
