GREAT DEVELOP.
MENTS ARE NOW
IN PROGRESS

| AT the foot of Bonanza Mountain
all the ms and out of progressive
mining are one. The Ramsey Com
STOCK Mining company is doing lust
such work as is going on in Goldfield
| Ionopah or any of the big ones, and
| curing THIS year will add long
| strlng OF hgures to the bullion pro-
| duction of Nevada.
In the second and third levels
| nlght and day, miners are stoping ont
| hlgh-grade ore. Another lot of men
| are sacking at either place and on ton
platform is placed where more shin
ping ore is being put into sacks.
Thirty feet north and south from the
crosscuts through the ledge. drifts
nave been run. Full width of them
the are six-foot drifts--is in the
rich sulphide ore, and up to date
hothlng indicates lessening of the
pay shoot
The size of the high-grade vein in
that mine is truly remarkable and
the tonnage blocked out in the pres
ent workings means the production
of much mineral wealth. AS few fig
ures will make apparent what ore is
Immediately available on the pay
shoot on the second and third levels.
Not to mention the remainder of the
great ledge the ore of which is very
high milling grade. AS stated. the
drifts are in thirty feet each way
from the crosscut, making sixty feet
of ore exposed. The levels are 100
feet apart and there remains to be
stopped out all the interlying ore. a
great deal of which is jewelry. 1t is
remarkable to expect it will net re-
trusn of several hundred dollars per
ton. There is no telling how much
further the high-grade shoot runs, as
in the north drift it is stronger than
ever.
At the present time the company
has in the neighborhood of 500 sacks
of the rich sulphide ore ready for
shipment. In short while teams
will be put on to haul it over to
Apache, nine miles east of here on
the Hazen cutoff, from which point
it will be taken to the smelters. Ev-
cry effort is being made to haul the
shipments. Continuous and addi-
tional equipment will be added as
fast as it arrives. A blower and an
extra skip arrived during the week.
On the way are pumps. air compress
or, hurley drills gasoline engine, etc.
The road from town to the mine has
been widened and improved to make
ready for the big teams that will
soon be put to work, and, in fact. ev-
cry preparation is made for the big
gest kind of doings.
In the oxide zone. between the
dyke apex and the first level and part
way between the first level and the
second-above water-there is also
an enormous tonnage of high-grade
oxide ore, as well as the vast extent
of free milling ore that is certain to
give big returns on the plates. AS in
the case of the sulphide ores, the
richer oxides occur on the hanging
wall side, and the way that porphyry
quartz will come through with rich
paintings is something to ponder
over While it is very snowy and
will pay handsomely to ship, it is not
as rich as the sulphide ores, which on
the second level carry gray copper,
with the high gold values and on the
third level carry tellurides and free
gold
The Ramsey Comstock mine has al
ready attracted pronounced attention
from some of Nevada's foremost min
ing men, and the day is not far dis
tant when this property will be in the
limelight throughout the country.
Such mines as the Nevada Hills. Mo-
hawk. Jumbo and Tonopah are
known in every town in the United
States, and have sprung into promi-
nence in surprisingly short period.
Ramsey Comstock is in no way sec
ond to any of them. 1t has true
assure vein, carrying high-grade ores
the characteristics of which insure
greatest permanency, rich and extern
sive production. There is everything
to indicate the mine will get at the
head of the procession and repeat
the performance of some of the great
bonanzas on the old Comstock lode,
lying but a short distance to the
southwest, of which this mineral belt
is an extension. If there is to be an
other Comstock, this is it.
