AT the greatest depth yet reached in
this camp p. A. Bird. lessee on the
principal Cleghorn property. has just
broken into large body OF quartz
which shows free gold to the naked eye
and pans heavily In this metal. The
discovery was made at a depth of so
feet In drift, the ore body covering
the entire face of the drift and conse-
quently being of unknown dimensions.
The work of penetration continues. the
rock looking better at every blast.
The strike has special interest here
from the fact that it reveals conditions
20 feet farther in the ground than any
other working In the new camp and 1t
shows a decided Improvement over sur
face conditions. 1t indicates also the
permanent character of the Cleghorn
lead which has been exposed for over
1000 feet on the surface and has shown
surface values of 1000 ounces in silver
and several ounces in gold. A string
OF lessees occupy the ledge so far ex-
posed and the strike Is stimulating
them to unusual activity. The control
of the ground belongs TO l.. Holbrook
of Provo, who purchased a controlling
interest for $4,000 a few days ago in
salt Lake, II is 10 DC Juc SCeile sOoAA
of extensive deep mining activity.
The record of the baby wonder"
here. the month-old producer varlously
known as the Owens property, the IVor
or the Kindergarten, is the chief inter-
est of the camp. Ore hauling began
week ago tomorrow, after three
weeks sacking record and now be-
tween the kindergarten and the Fair
view the freighters have all the back
hauling they can manage. II has been
decided to make the first shipment
two-carload lot. The Kindergarten
continues its $4,000 a day record. The
station for sinking has almost been
completed so that the output and the
mining force will be augmented. The
ore so far has come from the grass
roots from drift both ways on the
vein and upward stopping, The work.
ings have proven so far continuous
values of from $500 to $500 all along the
quartz vein and unexpected values for
a width of Ave feet in the porhyry.
Schemes for connecting Vernon and
Rosebud and intermediate mining
points by wagon road and wire have
all but been completed. The first part
of his program, the wagon road project,
was launched at citizens meeting at
Ioyelock. the nearest railroad station,
when $500 was raised by subscription
by the citizens to this end. The road
from LoveIoclt to Vernon has already
been completed and covers distance
of 25 miles. The money subscribed will
apply to the 80 miles from Vernon TO
Rosebud The road will traverse the
great porphyry belt upon the extremi-
ties of. which these two towns lie and
will connect the prospective mining
towns of Seven Troughs. stone House.
Burnt Creek and prospective town on
Cow Creek canyon. These places are
in tho midst of a region where rich
strikes are continually being reported
and are represented by clusters of pros
pectorS' tents.
The second part of the scheme en-
braces as the first step . telephone line
from Lovelock TO Rosebud, The first
part of this line was completed when
connections were made with Vernon
short time ago. At a recent meeting
of Lovelock business men at the bank
of Lovelock building, enough money
was assured to carry out the latter part
of this project The line will connect
all intermediate points.
