wAxxER LAKE
Ore carrying lead up'to ss per cent
and s14 in gold. together with a gener-
Gus ~sprinkling of silver. has been un-
covered in the Walker Lake district and
has made mining men sit up and take
notice OF this admittedly gold territory.
Samples were brought to Goldfeld yes
terday that were almost solid lead and
which were taken right from the sur
face.
One of the samples when assayed re-
turned IS per cent lead and s14 gold.
while another showed Sc per cent lead
and SIS silver. The lead vein running
across the claim of D.. Murphy and as
sociates is fully so feet in width and
2.2o0 feet long. Chunks can be broken
off from the ledge at almost any place
and show a dead weight with lead. Pre-
sumably there is a tremendous amount
of this metal on the properties and an
other gigantic resource is added to the
Walker al district.
The section where this lead ore
abounds has been NAMED NUM-, after the
name of the man h was first to locate
there. A townsite has been located I'M
der the same name and Matt Murphy
has been elected recorder of the dis
trict. Senator eddie is trying to break
into this new rich field. but to date has
been unsuccessful. He is negatioting
now with Murphy and associates for the
purchase of eleven claims at a strong
figure. He has his personal representa-
tives on the ground. The district is four
miles northeast of Walker Lake and APP
parently abounds in lead and silver, al
though fair values in gold are carried.
william NUM- vas recently offered
$3.50. 900 for his holdings there. all of
them carrying lead. silver, copper and
gold. but he refused the offer. Matt
Murphy, John Hughes and ]. McGittrick
have the eleven claims sought by eddie,
while Con Lynch, ID. Murphy, Matt Muir
ply and John Hughes own nine others,
all exceptionally rich. Five more are
owned by Lynch and d. Murphy alone.

HOUND MOUNTAIN
A hanging wall five feet In depth and
40 feet long has been exposed in an open
cut on the Round Mountain Mining
company's property, about 800 feet east
and up the hill from the main shaft.
The vein has been stripped for a dis
lance of 40 feet and in some places is
10 feet deep. The vein runs east and
west with a westerly dip. standing at
an angle of about 81 degrees. The gold
seam is a assure about two inches wide
In volcanic rhyolite. A cross assure has
been disclosed, forming a junction with
the main assure and a shat will be sunk
at the point of contact.
The winze on the Sphinx is Town 35
three feet of ore for the entire distance.
Work is being pushed on the east drift
on the 110-foot level and a crosscut
from the 2OO-foot level is in a distance
of 1876 feet.
A 25-horse power gasoline hoist is
being set up on the Round Mountain
Daisy and arrangements are being made
to sink to depth and prospect the prop
erty thoroughly.
A shaft is being sunk on the Round
Mountain Juno Mining c~ompany's prop
erty, under the direction of Superintend-
ent McSorley. A porphyry dyke has
been discovered underneath the wash
and development work will be prose-
cuted vigorously. The group consists
of the Little Mary claims which adjoins
the Albatross group of the Round Noun
tain Bullion company.
