SENSATIONAL STRIKES
IN SEARCHLIGHT MINES
Recent Developments Are Said to Excel Those
Uncovered in Famous Goldfeld District.
The Duplex a Second Quartette

demonstrated that each table can be
made to net 5000 per day on an average
of $35 rock. Water has been developed
at a millsite on the Sphinx claim within
100 yards of the tunnel entry, and the
mill will be established here, ores be-
ing "chuted" into the plant.
With these three properties beginning
shipping and the Mineral Farm group
to begin operations next week Mob Hill
Will produce something like 500 tons of
shipping ore per month from present
workings.
" Wyoming SearchIight
Superintendent Ed Carlson has
tapped the vein at the 300-foot level
Of the Wyoming 5earchlight. This vein
was cut at 200 feet and is eleven feet
in width, all running to pay. 1t has
been demonstrated that 1t has increased
in width on the 300-foot level, and Mr..
Carlson has gone east to confer with
the directors on the advisability of i'm
mediately constructing a ten-stamp
mill. The ore shows an average of $3S
per ton.
SearehIight Treasure
Another surface cropping has been
opened on the Searchlight Treasure in
a well being sunk near the Searchlight
hotel Ore that pans freely was en-
countered, and some specimens showing
free gold. This discovery Is in the
vicinity Of the vein uncovered last
summer by a cloudburst. and when the
property starts up in earnest, which
will be shortly, drift will be started
to tap these veins. The ore Is of the
same character as the surface ores of
the Duplex, and it is believed these
veins come from the Duplex property.
Owing to the remarkably calm wealth
er for this time Of the yer building
operations are being rushed on all
sides. Heretofore June was always a
month of "scorchers,' but this year the
weather Is very balmy. The site chosen
for the erection of the Santa Fe depot
on the Terminal townsite is being
graded and. the construction of the
station will be started at once. The
building Will be two stories in height
and built on the renaissance style. Two
spurs have been built, one to the Quar-
tette mine and the other out north
toward the Southern Nevada and
Searchlight mines.

NIXON DENIES LOSS
OF G0LDFIELD MINES

United States Senator George S.
Nixon of Nevada denies that Barney
Baruch and Thomas r. Ryan or the
Guggenheims have obtained control of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mining COM
pany or are in a position to do so. He
and his partner, George Wingfield, still
hold the majority of the stock and
have no intention of selling it.
Baruch several months ago loaned
the company $1,000, 900. This money
was used to purchase the adjoining
Combination mine, partly because of its
merit and partly to avoid litigation
which seemed to be inevitable. Some
of the money has been paid back and
TO time according to the terms OF the
loan. The security given Baruch for
the million-dollar loan, it is stated, in
no way jeopardizes the present ma
jority ownership of the stock.

HIGH GRADE ORE
IN THE AvAWATZ

Values are constantly increasing in
the two shafts of the Avawartz Noun
tain company. Assays taken from
shaft No. 1 this week go $104.75 in gold
and silver; from shaft No. 2, $114.14
was returned. The two shafts are 125
feet apart and it is proposed to con-
meet them at a lower level.
Manager Eichholtz reports the mine
looking better with each shift of work.
He intends TO sink 200 feet In both
shafts and thoroughly develop the
property. If the ore extracted proves
to be of sufficient value a shipment
will be made to Salt Lake smelter.-

SEARCHLIGHT, New, June 49,
Sensational strikes mark the events Of
the past week in and around Search
light, and from the way new finds are
being made in developing mines, as
well as in prospects,. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that the district is destined to rival
In sensations even Goldfield itself.
The most important strike is that of
the Duplex mine, which a few weeks
ago began taking out rich ore from the
Fraction claim. AS predicted at that
time the Duplex has ,veloped into a
second Quartotte, and not only this but
has stepped ahead Of the big producer
In richness of mineral. While working
on the 400-foot level early this week
workrnen broke into a body of free
milling ore that runs anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 per ton. This streak
lies on the hanging wall and is six
inches wide. The remainder of the vein
is five feet in width and carries averaen
values Of $3.50 per ton.
Specimens from the find create a SEN
satiof when shown on the street, and
so rich is the mineral that only the
most trusted employees are allowed In
the workings. From one panning a
button running $3.50 was made, and
so rich is the rock 1t is not necessary
literally daubed into the quartz in mug
gets.
Evidences Of Activity
At Mob Hill the Silver Legion. which

since resuming it's shallow workings
has encountered an 18-inch streak of
silver-gold ore running $500 per ton.
To date fifty tons of this rock has been
sacked and will go o,It as the initial
shipment. The find was made on the
850-foot level in the east drift.
On the Jumper mine, purchased two
weeks ago by A. K. Wright, ore run
ming from $50 to $3.50 per ten is being
taken from 2S-foot shaft and stored
for shipment.

GOOD DIVIDENDS DECLARED
IN THE G0LDFlELD DISTRICT

The first notices relating to dividends
to be declared In June by Laying mines
in the Goldfield district have been is
sued. They were by the Frances Mo-
hawk Mining and Leasing and the Me-
vada Hills companies. The former de-
clared dividend of $4,000 and the
latter 5000. Both dividends are figured
at 10 cents a share. The Frances divi-
dend was declared at meeting of
directors, making a total of 100000
paid to date by that company. The
checks for the Nevada Hills payment
will be sent out June 20. This is the
third dividend to be paid by that COM
pany, and brings its total up to s225,000,
although the mine is but q year old.

Special to The Herald.
SEARCHLIGHT, Nevada, June 16.--
While drifting on the eighty-five-foot
level on the Blackhawk claim of the
Eldorado Empire mine at Eldorado
canyon superintendent Deberry has
encountered streak of free milling
ore that promises to eclipse anything
ever discovered in the canyon. Spec
linen rock abounds all across the face
of the drift, and there are large de-
posits that run better than aything
yet discovered in the workings. Tests
on the ore show it to average $3.50 per
ton, and the extent of the body is as
yet undetermined, as cross-cutting has
not been prosecuted sufficiently to de-
termine where the wall of the ledge
lies The entire drift is in ore.
Though the property has attained
but shallow depth and little drifting
has been done, there is enough ore
in sight to warrant the beginning OF
milling Immediately.
Ore of Shipping Grade
The ore in the east drift is of such
high grade that it will be sorted and
shipped, as 1t is too rich to go over
the plates Besides this, the remainder
of the vein will average a shipping
grade, thus insuring great results when
the mill Is established.
The east drift is to be advanced
along the vein for hundred or more
feet, when the ledge will be cross-cut.
After this the shaft will be sent down
100 feet.
An idea of the magnitude of this
property can be gained when it is
known that the outcrop OF the ledge
is more than fifty feet in width, and
is all Iow-grade milling rock on the
surface The ledge gives every indi-
cation of increasing in width with ey-
cry foot, and 1t may safely be said
that the owners can figure on treat
ing an ore body 100 feet wide when
the 200-foot level is reached. What
this will average is hard to say, but
it is safe to estimate it at better than
$75 per ton.
There are few camps in Nevada that
can boast such gigantic deposits OF
ore, and the future of this property
can only be estimated in millions.

There is q demand for hand embroid-

people. The marking for towels should

ITO meet the demand for them,

Many pecan orchards are gradually
growing up. They are of slow

profitable. The main supply comes
from Mexico. some 60 carloads of

decade the main supply will come
from the southern states, which will

Of the nest shows series of rings,

MUST Be SERVED HOT. :
Important Point to Remember About
the Meal.

However simple a meal may be,
there should be no halfway work
about food that Is to be served hot.
Fish, like soup. cannot be served too
hot, and roast meat should sizzle as
the knife makes the first incision.
Nothing is appetizing when luke
warm. Among meats lamb suffers
most by being carelessly served. It
IL simply spoiled unless served
cracking hot. II the kitchen range
has no plate-warmer. put thick pa
per on the back Of the range, or on
the bottom Of the oven, IL that is not
in use, and set the dishes to be used
on the paper, which will prevent their
being cracked by the heat. Vegetable
dishes and sauce tureens can be
filed with hot water while the veee.
tables are being prepared. Above all
things serve gravies as hot as posi-
bic, taking them from the fire the
very last thing.
