CREEK DISTRICT
HAS PHENOMENAL SHOWING

Merrick ind Thomson own a group of
claims on the Summit and are driving
a 250-foot tunnel on a galena ledge that
has ore giving from 5000 to 5000 per
ton. Some old patented claims, whose
owner lives in Paris, and which years
ago produced largely, endlines Merrick
and Thomson's claims. Smith Bros. &
Weber located the southern endline
claims and ave big lodges that assay
high in lead. silver and gold.
Pipes and Barnes have a group of
claims on North Twin river. In trench
ing for the ledge they found very rich
placers, some paintings going as high as
$1,000. They will develop the ground
this season.
Extra Lightfoot has claims. near the
Summit that show lots of gold to the
naked eye. in samples Clipped off the
ledge. He will develop his ground this
season.

year.

gets good gold and silver assays in his
group, but has lots of copper ore that

A ledge supposed to be tungsten
(Schulite) was found by J. B. Geddes.
1t was traced 1000 feet and samples
have been sent to Pittsburg. Henry
Duncker found a parallel ledge of same
ore.
In this brief resume only passing
reference is made to a few of the many
claims and groups of claims. To pan
gold from samples across the width of
big lodges is not surprising or unusual.
While but little development work has
as yet been done. owing to climatic
condition, every claim owner is en-
couraged and satisfied. Most of the
claims are on the west slope of the To-
gate range and the old Austin camp, on
the same slope. north of the Clear Creek
district. has a record for producing over
$4,000, 900. With good values in gold,
silver. lead and copper at the surface.
And these values invariably improve
whenever any development has been
done; with al abundance of growing
timber and many big streams flowing
down both slopes of h Toyabe range;
witt fertile farms in the adjacent Reese
river valley and thousands of cattle,
sheep and horses on the ranges. all the
conditions are present to make Clear
Creek one of Nevada's most popular
and prosperous mining districts.

Gooding Ranch, Nye Co.. New, May %.
The Clear Creek Mining district. To-
Gated in the Toyabe range, near the
headquarters of Reese River, was organ
lied late in July, 1906. George Gooding,
who owns a large ranch in the Reese
river valley. found some extremely rich
float, which stimulated active prospect
ing. Fred Smith and Chris Weber. from
Manhattan. in conjunction with George
Gooding and job Seeby made the first
locations, known as the Rowdy group.
The first gold panned from samples off
a ledge was made by them in one of the
Rowdy claims. Other prospectors fol-
lowed and about $50 claims were located
and recorded. At almost every place
where thorough prospecting was lone
gold paintings were obtained. From the
time the district was organized until
snow commenced to fly, claim owners
were kept busy doing location work. etc,
so practically no development was at
tempted.
On the Rowdy group a 10-foot shat
revealed gold values going as high as
$500 to $500. Some picked assays went
5000 to $500. Duncker and Ulhof. on the
Lucky Cuss group, ran twenty-eight
feet of tunnel, and samples taken from
any part thereof PANIED gold.
AS organized. the Clear Creek district
was about twelve miles square. Ex-
tending from the western slope of the
Toyabe range to Reese river valley. and
down the east slope to Big Smoky valley.
The old Ophir Canyon property and
North Twin river were included in the
| district SuhSanuanflV nthar districts
were organized. but most of the patented
claims of the old ophir Canyon COM
pany are in the Clear Creek district. The
old mill. soon to be d%ismantled. pro-
duced about $1,000. 900 in former years.
property and Ophir Canyon will again
be a big producer.
Although the snow is not off the
Toyabe range at this date. anxious claim
owners have begun development work.
On the Rowdy group two shifts are
working in a shaft and to a depth of
twenty feet the ledge has increased in
value wonderfully. Samples pan very
coarse gold and the owners expect to
sack and ship ore very soon.
Charles Fuetsch. of the California
Beer hall. Goldheld. bought a half in

claims. from Walter Smith of Tonopah.

several good claims and has two shifts
