GREAT ACTIVITY
AT mSEARCHLIGHT

As in cases in this district
water has been encountered in the
Annette Mining eompany's property
al a depth Of rs feet. Ii IS the in
tention Of the company to continue
sinking as long as water can BE-
handled and then drift east and vest
also crosscut in both directions.
The amount Of work done 50 far
on this property proves il TO be the
e%ntinuation Of the vein cut in the
Spokane shaft and owned By the
Southern Nevada Mining & Milling
company. which has the same char
aeter Of copper stained ore on the
surface, and also in the crosscut.
A seYen-ineh Cornish pump has
been specially ordered for the Drake
shaft, on the Quartette Mining CON-
pany. with a capacity Of 100000 gal
Ions per day. These workings are
on the Hidden Treasure claim ad-
Joining the Cyrus Noble property.

where some good copper and iron
stained ledge matter has been en-
conntered. The company contem-
plates a thorough and systematic
development and the success that
others have made with more adj
vanced work In that Beighborhood
good results may be expected.
At the Red cliHe mine, located
about two and one-half miles east
OF SearchIight. and adjoining the
Boston group Of the Quartette Min
ing company. a recent discovery Of
high grade ore proves continuous.
The r was first found in a shaft
some eighty feet deep. and the indi-
cations were hat the shaft had cut
the extreme western end OF the ore
shoot in the vein. Since then the
owners, + r. Smith and John Jarvis
have opened a vertical shaft to the
east Of the original strike and at a
depth Of about thirty feet struck ore.
The quartz shows free gold and the
general run Of the vein averages VERY
high and a sample taken across eight
feet gave them $40 Sufficient de-
y%elopment work has been done to
show the hanging and footwalI and
the strike is a most important one
for that particular section OF the
district.
