IMPORTANT DEAL
AT ROUND MT.

Al bCoN hilIln6 0CQl III Tx lid
tory of Round Mountain has just
been contaminated. The Round
Mountain Daisy has just been sold by
c. r. Scott, better known as the
Chauffeur Kid" Luther Morgan and
L.. r. Scott to a coterie of prominent
local men composed of George A.
Bartlett, j.. J.. McSorley, w. w.
Booth, George B. Thatcher, R. G..
Moore, w. A. Shockley, Captain G.
w. Thatcher, Albert M. Gillespie, j.
j. Owens and several others. The
price paid for the property is 100000
cash. The deal was closed by ]. j.
McSorley and Miss L. l.. Gilman, the
latter being one of the most success
full women operators in the state.
The details have been pending for a
week and their completion marks the
largest mining sale for an entirely
cash consideration ever closed in the
Round Mountain section. The claims
involved in the transaction are the
Daisy Fraction, the Blue Jay No. 3
and the Blue Jay No. 5. So far
the work done consists of o 10O-foot
shaft and considerable drifting. The
l%easors have also sunk three or four
shafts to a depth of about fifty feet
each. Arrangements have been made
for the surrender of the leases at
once. Up to the present the property
has shipped high-grade ore amount
ing to over 10000, and a big guam
tity Of milling dirt is now on the
dump and in the workings. Up to
this time the high-grade ore only
has been distracted and it is esti-
mated that in taking out the higher
values over $25, 900 in milling ore
has been uncovered. The present
work is being done with a whim.
From present indications the surface
showings are such that the property
promises to greatly rival the famous
Wilson placer" on the Sunnyside.
The Daisy property lies in the Round
Mountain ledge, which is over 100
feet wide and extends in a north
easterly direction through the center
of the claims. 1t is joined on the
northeast by the Fairview and on
the southwest by the Antelope. These
are the W largest properties yet
opened up in the district. The sur
face showing on the Daisy is better
than either of these properties. A
portion of the Gordon townsite is also
situated on the Daisy property. 1t
was C. r. Scott who grubstaked the
p~rospectors, slim" Morgan and Lit
tie Scotty.' The latter is no relative
however of C. r. Scott.
A new company is being incorpo-
rated to be known as the Round
Mountain Daisy Mining Company.
The articles are in accordance with
the laws of the State of Nevada and
the capitalization will be 1,250,000
shares, 81 par value. OF this num-
Der 500, 900 shares will be deposited
in the treasury. The officers of the
company will probably be: George
A. Bartlett, president: George B.
Thatcher, vice president; ]. j. Nc
Sorley, secretary, and w. A. Shock
ley, treasurer. Besides the officers
the directorate will no doubt includes:
w. w. Booth, r. c. Moore and Cap
tain G. w. Thatcher. The company
will sink a deep shaft and will work
at depth. The present whim will be
replaced by a modern hoist.
: With such well known and exper-
t fenced mining men behind the new
company the results can be conf
IDENTIFY expected in a very short time
; and the present showing of the prop
| erty certainly prove the wisdom of
t these men in acquiring the claims.
