pinching out, no attempt was made
to follow it and the claim was abanG-
oned.
Two years ago, the ground being
vacant, it was relocated by a number
of Tuscarora people and the work of
tina. year showed a narrow, rich
stringer, but not of a character to
make mine. This year in doing the
assessment work. a new spot was Sc

STRIKES HIGH GRADE
Rich Streak found In Winze Being
Sunk In CrOSS.Cut.

Development Work Companv Z
Will Sink Deep Shaft.

Capt. Clint Tillery, of the Nevada
Epaso Mining company is one of
these mining men who rs not saying
much, but keeps saving wood" In
support of this statement We offer in
evidence his work in the development
of the Brown-Bell property which his
company secured at Gold Butte, eight
miles west of town, on the Vernon
road.
Early last spring considerable ex-
element was caused by the finding
of high grade in the claims held by
Messrs. Brown and Bell, showing as
says from 5000 to $4,000. Mr.. Til
lery secured a group of four claims
including the strike. for himself and
associates. On these claims he has
been doing systematic AMI continu.
Gus development work. A shaft was
sunk 60 feet and from the bot
tom drift has been run ITO feet. to
catch a contact vein.
The rich values on the surface seem
to be an overflow" There have
been some values showing in the
worKings, but the high grade of the
surface has not been continuous. In
spite of any discouragement which
might arise because OF the change in
values and formations. and while the
her holders Of properties at Gold
Butte had discontinued AL work on
their claims, Mr. Tillery had the work
of developing his holdings going right
ahead, not with such large force.

up in that section are not held for
speculation, but must be used and &C.
tually made homestead as the law
requires.
If this policy of the Reclamation
service and of the Land Office contin-
ues the class of settlers must be men
who will live on the land, farm it and
grow crops. These are the class of
people the Carson Sink (as well as the
entire State) needs people who will
live on small acreage and cultivate
it well, getting from the soil all that
it will yield.
The Reclamation Service claims
that there is great demand for forty
acre tracts, which is an excellent
sign Of progress in acquiring a dense
population. The days Of the cattle
rancher have passed for the Carson
Sink and the valley viii, be rapidly
settled by homesteaders. There is
now room for one thousand families
and within two years it will need
twenty-five hundred families to take
care of the land which will then be
open for settlement.

During the past few days the show

at any other time since the rich sur
face strike. This high grade, in
which the particles of free gold are
plainly visible, was struck in winze
now being sunk in the drift, at a
point 100 feet from the shaft. The
streak of high grade is from six to
ten inches wide and seems to be con-
tinuous. They are following it right
down with the winze and are now ten
feet down, making this winze the
deepest point in the mine
A gasoline hoist has been ordered,

real development of big mine, near
