THE xIsNIET

2 0A1
The east end and west end of the
camp are rivals in popular favor just
now owing to recent strikes made in the
first mentioned section, which, while not
having the proportions of that which
has brought the Mustang into the lime
light, are yet sufficiently important to
whet the jaded interest of long time
prospector and ore finder. The center OF
interest is quite naturally the Otero
property. but there is likewise a strong
under current of curiosity manifest re-
garding developments at the Buffalo. the
.'coppers," the Hindocraft and the Kis-
met. 1t is but recently that the prop
erty with the fatalistic name was any
thing better han a name. but 1t now APP
pears likely that it will vie with the
estates in the richness of its ore.
The find which has called the acreage
into at least passing prominence was
made last Monday during the ordinary
course of development, and at a point
where it was entirely unexpected. AS
yet the streak carrying the high grade
is narrow, but it shows a generous
sprinkling of gold in the free and pans
into the thousands of dollars per ton.
1t must not be understood from the
foregoing. however, that the average
grade of the ore will approach a figure
any where near that just mentioned.
The significance of the find lies rather
in its relation to the value of the ore de-
posit at greater depth than in it's i'm
portance as an asset to the Kismet peo-
nile

Ida QUEEN WILL SOON
CONE TO TIE T1ONT

DR.. Croxall has returned from a
weeks visit to Pigeon Springs. IL miles
west of Ida. He reports that a To-
stamp mill is being installed on the
Ida Queen property. 1t is nearly com
pleted. This property was promoted by
DR.. Croxall a year ago. during which
time about &c. 900 have been expended
on improvements.
Included in the equipment of the prop
erty is a 25-horse power gasoline hoist.
The ore bins nave also been completed.
The Ida Queen was operated rs years
ago. The high grade ore was extracted
and worked in an arastra with a tre-
mendous loss in tailings. The assure
in which the ore occurs is 800 feet wide
and the average of the ore is about 1913.
of which between $21 and $22 is in free
gold. the balance being in lead with a
little silver.
In addition to the ten 1~.000-pound
stamps there are two Whitley tables and
four Johnson concentrators The con-
centrates run from $40 to $3.50 to the
ton.

COPPER suLPHIDEs

over in the South Manhattan district
a strike of copper ore was made a few
days ago on the Rambler group. The
find was made at a depth of so feet and
consists of copper %sulphides of high
average grade. A number of assays
have been taken which denote the quartz
to have a value of 20 per cent copper
and 5000 in gold and silver the ton.
These values are reported to be the
average break across Is feet of vein
matter. Spokane and Portland capital
is said to be backing the enterprise.

EAST MANHATTAN MILL

The Hindocraft Mining company have
contracted with California people for
the erection on it's acreage of a 5-stamp
mill, work of construction to begin as
soon as weather conditions permit.
Plans and specifications of the plant
ave been submitted and are so drawn
as to admit of the installation of sew
eral additional batteries. 1t is the
primal intention to treat none but
Hindocraft ores at the plant, but if
other batteries are placed in commits
sion the mill will be open for custom
ores as well.

II HINDoCRAFT

No property in the East Manhattan
section, save the Otero, Buffalo and the
''coppers,' has a more favorable mineral
showing than that obtaining at the
acreage owned by the Hindocraft COM
pany, and at no mining estate in the en-
tire camp is development being furth-
cred more c~onscientiously and with
prospects more strongly indicative of
the ultimate location of pay ore in
place. That the ground is traversed by
a continuation of the rich ledge recently
uncovered at nominal depth IN Otero
territory has been demonstrated by
survey, and a few days ago further tes-
timony was adduced by the cutting of
a quartz %stringer in the Hindocraft tun-
mel, whose mineral characteristics are
the counterpart of those obtaining in
the ledge showing high grade on the
Otero estate. Not eve the free gold
feature is wanting, although it is but
a knife blade seam in which the pre-
cious metal can be discerned.

MUSTANG STRIKE
Two and one-half feet of ore having

bonanza during the past few days. The
ledge is filled with specimen quartz hav-
ing a value as high as $50 the pound.

ton. this. and lower class bonanza
quartz will be stored therein under
guard until such time as IT can be sent
to smelter. In the interim pending the
completion of the ore house little effort
is being made to extract ore owing to
the circumscribed space below ground
in which the broken down product can
be stored. 1t is but a question of days,
however, until further development of
the gold burdened ledge is taken up and
stopping begun.
The find whose golden riches are
above described was made last Thurs
day night in the drift at the 210-foot
level and in it's every feature it excels
in worth the discovery made early in
February that first called the Mustang
estate into prominence. Like the primal
strike, the rock resembles very strongly
that carrying high gold values in the
famous Mohawk mine at Goldfeld. Sui
phides and free gold are closely allied,
and both are generally distributed over
the surface of the quartz and throughout
the seams and crevices. Much Of the
yellow metal in the free state occurs
in cube. one of the most beautiful forms
in which gold is found.
