Chipmunk.

Ore is being sacked at the Chip
munk mine preparatory to a five-ton
mill run for the purpose of estab-
fishing average gold values. The
sacked product at the property is in
excess of thirty tons and is being
augmented daily. If the test at the
mill neal Central proves as satisfac-
tory as Superintendent Morris Nc
MILAN anticipates-$S0 the ton
such portions of the output as can
be handled at the Central mill will
go regularly to stamp. The tonnage
will necessarily be small, however,
owing to the limitations of the plant
three stamps.
The ore is coming from the rich
ledge recently encountered in the
crosscut from the 100-foot level of
the main working shaft. Values are
generally distributed throughout the
quartz with the higher grade rock
lying against the foot-wall. BY care
full sorting the latter can be shipped
at a profit. AS the drift is extended
in the ore the width of the ledge is
holding nicely and the break" indi-
Gates that gold values are on the
increase.
Although the vein is yielding high
gold returns at the present point of
development ven higher values are
probable once the ore shoot is en-
tered. That it is but a snort dis
lance ahead of the drillers is evil
dent from the increase in gold grade
and the general naturalization of the
ledge.-Manhattan Mail.

The Cash Rock.

A depth of forty feet has been at
tanned in the incline shaft which is
following a well defined ledge on the
estate of the Manhattan Cash Rock
Mining Company. The shaft is going
down on the hanging wall and from
surface to the present level is in mill
ing grade ore. A depth of 100 feet
is the objective point and when
reached the ledge is to be crosscut
and drifted on in search of pay grade
ore in place. Two shifts of miners
are employed.
The Cash Rock acreage adjoins the
Nome, the Nevada and the Giant Min
ing companies holdings, and is on
the same contact as the Giant.
Where opened on the last mentioned
property the ledge is yielding high
grade gold values and is generally in

MANHATTAN IS
Showing UP WELL
Manhattan Sunset.

Two contracts are to be let for
shaft sinking on the estate of the
Manhattan Sunset Mining Company
located in the vicinity of St. Elmo.
Late last fall extensive surface pros
pecting demonstrated the acreage to
have great mineral promise and the
letting of contracts for sinking is in
pursuance of the arrangements plan
to prove up the ledge system at
points well down in the permanent
zone.
One of the more important finds ON
the Sunset yields high copper values.
Other lodges assay well in gold. The
presence of the two metals encour-
ages the management to believe that
at depth will be found a large ore
body carrying pay values in the red
and yellow metals. The discoveries
on the Sunset are also acting as an
incentive for increased mining effort

new COMPANY
TO WORK Ida

An important and significant meet
ing of mining men was held last
week at Carson City and holds much
promise for the Ida district. The
occasion of this meeting was the COM
pletion of the Incorporation and or
ganization of the Storm Cloud Min
ing Company under the laws of Ne
vada. It was attended by Governor
Sparks, who is president; Hon.
Thomas H. Tighe, vice president; DR..
w. G. Chilson, secretary; M. B. AS
ton, director; DR.. Purlenky of Cali
fornia, who is a heavy stakeholder,
and others. DR.. d. A. Beattle of
California, a director and large stock
holder, was unavoidably absent, as
was also Thomas Withers, who is
consulting engineer for this mine.
Ample funds have been raised and
an active campaign begun to place
the Storm Cloud mine on a perma-
nent shipping basis. Toward this
end 1t was definitely arranged to i'm
mediateiy erect commodious and sub
statial buildings, install suitable ma
chinery, construct the road to the
main working of the property and
otherwise place it on a solid founda-
ton regardless of the deep snow
which has for some weeks past
caused a suspension of work. This
movement, taken in connection with
several others in the Ida mining
district, confirms the belief that that
prosperous camp, which was some
thirty years ago a heavy shipper, is
to be rejuvenated and the present
boom greatly increased within the
next few months. This is only one
OF a dozen properties at Ida show
ms signs OF a tremendous awaken
ing.

A contract has been let by the
management of the Portland Mining
Company for driving the tunnel on
the Detroit claim an additional 100
feet, work to begin Immediately. The
present length of the bore is 100
feet and in driving that distance a
number of %stringers have been cut
that gave favorable assay returns.
Thus far, however, no ledge has been
encountered in place. The objective
point is a well mineralized vein

Midway between the old Capital
Camp and the Montana group of
mines, about four miles to the south
east of Nelson, w. j. Kennedy and
George Freedom have a single claim,
the Toltec, which is producing ship
ping ore from the grass roots.

failed to reveal other than ordinary
values, but lately there was discov-

which never assayed less than $50
a ton. MI. Freedom is on the
ground with 200 sacks and already
has fifty sacks ready for shipment.
These sacks are cement sacks and
hold $50 pounds.

feet down and the owners are jubi-

ANOTHER STRIKE AT vERNo,

Another strike is reported at Ver-
non road as it enters the canyon back
of Lone Mountain. Last Tuesday
night Arthur Bell, who is doing as
sessment work on his claims at that
point came into the town of Yer
non with some specimens of ore
showing chunks of gold as large as
grains of wheat, in some cases the
rock hung together with cores of
wire gold.
This ground is near the town of
Lovelock and it is marveled that it
has lain so long undetected. In the
piece of ore gold which Mr.. Bell ex-
hibited in Vernon there were some
beautiful nuggets. Three samples
taken from ground not over
two feet in depth and while there
was only a stringer of quartz on
which he started to work, it is now
a foot wide and widening very rap
idly. No assays from this specimen
rock have been taken, but assays
from three to eight feet lodges have
gone from $40 to 500.
One group of claims has already
been sold to Utah capitalists, who
expect to begin development o
The attention of ~prospectors was
first called to this place by the find
ing of gold in one of the holes dug
for telephone poles on the Vernon
line. Mr.. Waldo, who noticed the
values as he threw the dirt out, made
some of the first locations, and was
the first to call attention to the dis
trict.
Now many Lovelockers hold claims
and assessment work is being done
on many locations. This is so close
in that low values could be worked
at a proft.-Daily Silver State.
