"Phonolite is In the midst of .
country OF remarkable mineraliza-
tion." said Mr.. Smith yesterday. 1T
is agold belt surrounded, by districts
that produce the four chief minerals,
Only sin miles west is the ola Lodi
mine, famous lead-silver producer:
on. the, east Is the old Merlin prop
erty. copper proposition; on the
south is the Ellsworth district, which.
has good gold-copper values; south
west Is the Green Springs district,
which is exciting great interest.
and northeast the Gold Park proper
ties have been operated for years.
Fairview, with its famous Nevada
Hills mine, is thirty miles northwest
of Phonoiite, and the Intervening
country is all highly mineralized.
Il am informed that the Southern
Pacific has decided to extend its line
from Austin to the Berlin properties.
II it does the line will 50 closet to our
workings. and II Will mean greatly
increased activity for that entire re-
gion.
"The values in the phonolite dis
trict are gold and silver with gold
l,redominating. The formation is
quartz cropping through porphyry
and rhyolite ribbed by phonolite.
Such claims as the July, Climax,
Black Butte, Sonora and others have
gold all over them. They have
enough stuff in sight to justify

twelve feet wide have 7been opened.
the values generally running from So
to SIC a ton. with assays as high as
1900 a ton.
1.-THE ores on these claims are OK
ides, but down tho hill, 100 feet low
er. where the Mohawk-D Duluth COM
pany is sinking it's shaft on the con-
tact vein between phonolfte lodges
and porphyry. there have been sui
phides from the surface down and
they are Increasing at depth. The
vein is ten feet wide, with north
east and southwest trend and dipping
toward the east. The shaft is down
100 feet. 1t has followed the foot
wall, which is perfect, but the hang
ing wall is not yet well defined. The
streak of high grade ore, identical
with OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ore, about
fourteen inches wide, is on the foot
wall, in tale formation. Condi-
tions generally are improved as depth
is attained. The last assay taken from
the high grade streak gave values Of
$3266.80. July assays were s1345
and $63.93. Those taken in May went
$861.76, $1181.2O and s934.44. An
average sample taken near the sur
face went $1798.29. These give a
good idea of how the stuff has run on
the way down. The vein matter out
side of the high-grade streak aver
ages around SIS ton.
The Mohawk-Duluth shaft has re-
Gently been equipped with hoist
that is easily good for 700 and 500
feet depth and the operations now
are at stage where Developments
out of the ordinary may be expected
at any time. The Paymaster is push
ing its tunnel in interesting ground

the Independence, which appears to
be an excellent prospect, -W Western
