DOINGS in THE
RAMSEY DISTRICT
Progress on Two Of Its Big
Mines During the Week
Just Past

above surface high grade to be found /
anywehere, presented the strongest |
indication that underneath there
would be found something very rich. |
The property has certainly fulfilled |
expectations up to date and the con-
dition of things at the deepest ex-
posed point strongly indicates that |
there are much richer ores to be
found further down
With the Ramsey Comstock mine |
operating within the borders of this |
mineral district it is certain to re-
tain prominent position in the
mineral production of this state Not
that this is a one-mine camp in any
sense Of the term, but this one prop
erty has developed to such an extent
that rich ore may be extracted from
it for long period of time and the
/ brightest prospects are ahead for
greater production. This camp and
its Ramsey Comstocll mine will help
make history for Nevada
WaIkover
The owners Of the Walhover mine
must surely feel satisfaction from the
way that property is showing UP.
I Within a few weeks an ore body has
/ been opened up that puts the mine
right into the shipping class and the
vein is gradually widening to an ex-
tent that will make possible large
output. AT present the shaft is
something over 50 feet below surface
and the vein has widened from IS
inches to full three feet. While the
ore shows free gold all the way down
and will produce sensational pan
nings it is richer with every foot of
depth and assays are being obtained
from it running $500 to $1,000 in gold.
Every bit of the ore is being sacked
as it is broken out, and grab samples
assay from $175 to $500 per ton, sure
ly ore Of that quality will pay hand
somely to ship.
Taht the Walkover ledge is perma
nent in character is evidenced by the
presence of sulphides in the ore AS
the shaft progresses, more and more
OF this characteristic Shows and lends
10 the belief that water level will be
reached at nominal depth. Since the
occurrence of sulphdes in the, orc
some remarkably rich specimens are
being found and high assays are be
ing obtained. Jewelry specimens are
on show in nearly every business
house. that were procured at the
: mine. There are strong reasons for
believing that very high values Will
be found from now on, as they are
fast approaching water level and the
richer sUlphie ores
