Homer Wilson, Of the Keane Wonder
mine and mill. came IN from hat Fun
eral range property Monday evening,
bringing with him two weighty, bright.
inspiring testimonials of the greatness
and richness-present and prospective
OF the Builfrog district and Its tribu-
taries. e
These were two gold bricks, each
weighing over eleven pounds. with an
estimated value Of $4,000. Mr.. Wilson
deposited the yellow cure for sore inan-
cial optics with the First National bank
of Rhyolite, and on Tuesday morning
Cashier F. H. stickney shipped the
bricks to Carson city. The bank will
get returns for the metal direct from
which will pay the local bank in the real
coin Of the realm.
The fineness of the bricks will be de-
termined by the Carson City ofhcials.
The gold. however. IL very clean and
clear. and Mr.. Wilson said to a Miner
reporter that he thought the bricks
would run better than SIS to the n
1t is much better and cleaner gold than
that which went to make up the first
shipment from the Keane Wonder mill.
The latter ran y14 to the ounce. 1t be-
ing the first work done by the mill,
much foreign matter was naturally
mixed with the gold.
The two bricks just brought in are the
result Of a twelve-days' run. though 1t
cannot be said to be a cleanup, as 1t
does not include the concentrates, the
gold in the mortars. etc. The previous
shipment Of gold was made after a Is
days run. Mr.. Wilson told a reporter
that the product of the mill for these
20 days exceeded $22, 1000.
This product will increase from
month to month. The mill started with
two and one-half tons of ore to the
stamp. This tonnage has been increased
by gradual stages to three. then to three
and one-half, while the last run was
made on the basis of four and one-tenth
tons to the stamp.
ALLIANCE
Taylor & Grifiths are getting bids for
100 feet Of additional sinking at the AL
lance. and It is expected that work will
be resumed in a few days. The shaft is
now down 800 feet, and at the end of the
other hundred 1t is probable that extern
sive lateral exploration will be under
| taken.
In sinking to the present depth numer-
Gus stringers yielding excellent metallic
| returns were cut. The property is stu
ated on the trend of the Montgomery
Shoshone veins, and 1t is believed that
further vertical investigation will reveal
important ore bodies.
There is a 25-horse power gasoline
hoist on the property. and 1t is well pro-
vided with machinery for present needs.
The estate includes four claims and a
fraction, for which a patent is now pend
ing.
The company has a fat treasury and
is in a position to prosecute work con-
tinuously.
DIAMOND CONSOLIDATED
1t is understood through reliable
sources that several applications have
been made for leases on Diamond Bull
frog Consolidated ground on Ladd noun
tain.
Some time ago, it will be recalled,
that the Bullfrog Mining and the Dia-
mond Bullfrog merged their estates. but
no work has been don recently on the
property. A substantial amount. how
ever, has been done on both, and good
bodies of ore reached.
A few months back 1t was stated that
Senator Stewart had secured the control
