DREDGE AT TULE

Away back in the early ffties, when
the greed for gold brought the California
prospector into the wilds of the Nevada
deserts, little or nothing was known of
this state. Evidences are found in var
ious places of work done in those early
days in the search for gold and silver.
In 1871 the U. S. Geological Survey
came up through the now Bullfrog and
Ida districts. They endured many
nardships, many of them dying Tor want
of water on the great expanse or desert
south of Bullfrog. At that time indi-
cations were found by them where
prospectors had passed over the same
trail. As time went on, more people
came into Nevada, and more gold and
silver was found. Thirty years age,
when silver was at it's height, man.
valuable mines were opened up in thu
state, which nave later been abandoned
since silver was demonetiZed.
About seven miles south Of Ida, in
Tule Canyon, a party of miners 4 Few
years ago, while prospecting ths ranges
nearby in search of gold, came across
the remains of old time rockers o. wash
ers used for the extraction OF
r.acer gold. Thinking there must be a
reason for this machinery, they pros

result that coarse gold was found IN

is confined TO the 700 level and in the
upraising of the new shaft. 1t is ex-
pected hat the new shaft will 500
be completed as the work is now within
a few feet of the surface. The work
here consists mainly in repairing the
old Slopes and enclosing the old open
ground. Considerable timbering is still
necessary and much lumber is being
hauled to the spot for this work and
also for the erection of the new shaft
buildings.

and the superintendent is of the opinion
that the ore will go we'll above this
hundred dollar mark.

the property and determine the advan

tensive developments contemplated. II
is stated that before the month is ended
that work will be commenced.
