SHIPMENT FROM
ELDORADO CANON DISTRICT

Success on one property in this i'm
mediate vicinity has it's effect upon
others, and the present development OF
the Fortuna and the Extension has
drawn attention to other properties
which will rush development as fast as
men and money can accomplish 1t.
ExDo8ADo SPHINX
Among the important developments
in the vicinity of Mob hill, which is the
southern division of the Eldorado
canon country, is the financing of the
Eldorado Sphinx, one of the Oldest dis
coveries OF the district which was
worked 40 years ago by the pioneers of
the upper Colorado river. For the past
few years all that has been done on this
property, has been the development OF
water and the opening up OF new work
ings In the old tunnel, run by the trail
blazers. The Eldorado Sphinx carries
a romantic history including bloodshed
and Indian wars, and only recently the
original ~discoverer, John Weaver, re-
turned to the district after many years
to begin prospecting again.
Weaver stood guard day after day in an
imprcyised fort on the summit of the
sphinx ledge, rifle in hand. to keep the
Indians away While his partners took
from a shallow slope horn silver that
went all the way from soc to 81 per
pound. This slope penetrated the vein
about SO feet. and only a narrow streak
was worked out. The present owners
have driven an adit tunnel into the
ledge which shows 81 feet in width on
the surface. and hav put down two
-r---- 4Ant and tho nthar
further In, 20 feet deep. In both these
workings only pay ore has been en-
countered. and at the present point 1t Is
estimated that the vein carries pay for
a width of 80 feet. This monster edge
is traceable for one mile. and at its
apex on the Sphinx carries pay from the
grass roots. There is an old dump esti-
mated to be worth $4,000. consisting
OF ores ranging from $40 to 800 per
ton, out which were not rich enough to
ship via the Gulf of California to
smelters. The preponderance of values
is silver, while ore running 100 ounce
in the white metal carries with it from
$50 to $50 in gold.
1t is the plan of the owners to erect
a concentrating plant on a mill site To-
Gated a few hundred feet away where
water has been developed and when ores
can be conveyed by q chute into the
mill. BY concentrating from three to
FIVE into one the property can handle
every ounce OF ore at a profit. With at
present 80 feet OF pay ore developed for
a distance of loo feet this is one of the
largest properties yet opened in the dis
trict. and shows millions in sight. At
least $40. 900 is to be spent Immediately
In development, and mill construction.
and the product of the mine will be
shipped mainly via Nipton to the Salt
Lake smelters.

enormous beds of native sulphur have
been discovered a short distance from
the townsite. Mr.. Oldt says the sui

Nelson. Nev. May 6.-The Fortuna
mine initiates ore shipments via the
Santa Fe this week with a 25-ton con-
signmen that runs to the fancy figure
OF $500 ger ton. This shipment was
taken from a drift on the goo foot level.
where the entire drift is in bonanza orr
Nine assays on his ledge for It's entire
width show an average of $3.50 81 per
ton. and much ore of this character is
being stored for milling later on when
the company ~instalis its pan-amalgama-
ton cyanide works for the reduction of
gold and silver ores. With these works
90 per cent of the values can be saved.
while the average cost per ton is 81 and
the highest 50.
The company has a well AZ feet deep
that contains rs feet of water, sufficient
for all purposes. This well was sunk
I'm the wash and the flow is a permanent
one. The initial shipment is a test run
and will be followed regularly by others
of the same high grade. The shaft is
now down $50 feet and will be con-
tinued. Manager \. A. Mcknight en-
countered a fault at So feet in the pres
ent shaft, but after a comparatively nom
inal amount of labor picked up his ore
body again. which has proved richer
and wider. and shows that the slips and
faults of the district is a natural ele-
ment, and SHOULD occasion no uneasiness.
The development of the Fortuna to a
shipping basis has been rapid and scien-
tifc. and as the present workings are
extended the mine takes OF the habili-
ments of a permanent producer with an
abundance of rich ore in sight.
FORTUNA Hxx1NsIoN
Among other properties in Eldorado
canon that promises to soon take rank
among the producers. such as the
Techaticup and Fortuna, is the Fortuna
Extension. which endlines the original
Fortuna on the east. This property Is
being developed by a unnel that has
penetrated the hill 2s5 feet. giving a
depth Of 800 feet when the vein is
crossed. The present workings have
reached the footwall of the shoot, which
at this point is estimated to be Is feet
IN width. but no assays have been taken.
and nothing will be known of the values
until the bore has reached the hanging
wall. On the surface an average of s23
was obtained. which is better than that
on the Fortuna at the same depth. This
vein. according to Mining Engineer
Flynn, who recently examined the prop
erty, shows on the Fortuna for 5000
feet, and Developments show the same
ledge and ore body on the Fortuna Ex-
tension for 400 feet. and In Mr.. Fiynn's
estimation runs through 5000 feet OF
that territory. Thus 1t might be said
that whatever values and continuity OF
ore bodies are proven on the Fortuna
applies equally on the Fortuna Extern
sion, and developments on this property
are being watched carefully.

In answer TO direct inquiry an ofheial
Of the Nevada Hills Mining company
stated Tucsday that the regular quar-
teriy dividend Of that company would
he maid IN June: he stated that there
VAS no question about a dividend OF
10 cents per share and that IL may be
larger than this. II Is known that the
treasury OF the company is in the most
fattersur condition. while there is suf-
ncieut ore sacked at the mine TO make
several distributions Of 10 cents per
share. An idea of the immense amour
of sacked ore or hand can be had from

a depth of 30 feet in the inclined shaft
going down on his property. He is fol-
lowing a vein that dips strongly to the
north. on which big values were taken
in a cut 200 feet from the location OF
the shaft. This vein Is in one OF the
strongest cropping lodges Of the dis
trict. and the ormation is one TO invite
the most thorough and elaborate ex-
ploration. The Clipper has ore in place
that yields values between 1921 and

B1oWM BONANZA SECURES

The Brown Bonanza Mining company
has purchased the Sure Thing claim in
the Cuprite district. which adds materi-

is a strong ledge outcropping on the
claim that gives good assays in gold,
and 1t is believed that little development
will open ore of shipping grade.

Go-horse power hoist is also at Falion
and will be brought hsre as quickly as

made on the vein. and it's width deter
mined at Is feet: from this vein. at
this point values as high as $3.50 were
secured. A crosscut is now being run
at the 1oo-foot level to ascertain the
extent of the vein and the values at that
point, after which the shaft will be con-
tinued TO the 300-f3ot level From the
start it has been a vertical working
shaft, and no effort to follow the vein
has been made. for the reason that deep
sinking has been planned from the start.
and IL is proposed to work the vein at
the various levels by means Of drifts
from the shaft. Capable men are behind
this lease. and with the present excel

TAXING OUT SHIPPING III
The Nevada Fairview has lately been
getting considerable shipping ore from
the No. 4 tunnel. The values have In
creased with depth to a marked degree.
and the WINE from the tunnel level OF
No. 4 has been getting richer and richer
until a large percentage OF the product
goes into the ore dump. There Is now
ready for sacking and shipment two
carloads of high grade. while the output
