AROUND GREAT
CAMP OF ELY
Strike at Cherry Creek

q strike made tnlS week IN Lne
property of the White Pine Mining
company of Cherry creek, which is
considered of much Importance in
that section. The strike was made in
upraise from a lower Junnel, and
exposes eighteen inches of high grade
ore. The tunnel is in 225 feet and
encountered rich ore from the por-
tai, which was followed for some
distance, so that the company now
have a considerable tonnage of good
milling ore ready for stopping. The
company's stamp mill will be start
ed shortly, and the concentrates
shipped to the smelters. 1t is stated
that not less than $4,000 have
been taken from the surface work
ings Of the property, and now that
the company is operating on a some
what extensive scale, there is reason
to believe that it will o be a
heavy producer.
Railroad TO Mines
That the railroad up the canyon
is to be completed as soon as the
weather and the work on the tunnel
will permit, is evidenced by the prep
arations being made to start the
work of building the immense ore
bins at the Star Pointer shaft.
Through this shaft, which is six by
twenty-four feet in size, will be hoist
ed all the ore from the Star Pointer
and Ruth properties. The ore bins
will require one million feet of lum-
Der and the cost Of the lumber alone
will be $35, 900. To transport the
lumber from Ely by team would add
about $4,000 to the cost, which is
toe much for the mining company to
pay when the railroaA IS so nearly
completed.
Lead King
A week ago an expert, said to
represent the Guggenheims, made an
examination Of the properties OF the
Lead King Mining company, in the
Duck creek district. The ore is very
high grade lead, and some pockets
carry as high as 80 per cent OF that
metal, for which the smelters are al
ways on the lookout. 1t is probable
the property will be developed on
very broad lines as a result of the
!, visit.

company which operated somewhat
! extensively in this section some years
ago, has transferred it's holdings
