That the. Gold Run Mining dis
trict, ten miles south of Goconda
will be one of the bononza districts
of the state, Is beginning to lie real
lied by active and progressive min
ing men.
The district covers an extensiy.
area, and good values are found
everywhere, even the country rock In
places pans excellently and the ex
tent of valuable placer ground indi
Gates immense deposits of free gold
somewhere in the hills above.
Some of these great lodges are al.
ready being exposed by prospectoGs
with much success, and 1t Is believed
now that the mother lode of the dis.
triet has been found.
Parallel with and just below the
mother lode is an immense 80.
called dry bone ledge that outcrops
and cuts the general formation for a
distance of probably two miles, and
all along the length of this great
dyke good paintings in free gold may
be had at the grass roots, and veins
of ore in place as much as seven feet
wide have been found and are being
opened up by the locators.
About the most aggressive people
at present operating in the district
Is the Glasgow Western company,
which employs about sixty men and
Is now down to a depth of 500 feet
with their shaft and are daily haul
ing about fifty tons of good ore from
the Adelaide mine in old Run dis
trict to their own mill and smelter
ten miles distant at Golconda.
The next in order of amount of
work being done is probably the
property taken over by Il. ]. Daugh-
tiers of Salt Lake last spring and
known as the West Dip, which on
Saturday last made a shipment of
| two cars of ore to Salt Lake City.
This company has made arrange
ments for the machinery necessary
to sink their main shaft to depth of
500 feet, which will be done with as
much dispatch as possible.
There has arrived at Golconda a
small stamp mill to be erected on
the Gold Coin property owned by A.
w. Hille and associates of Denver,
who, 1t is understood, will leave Dem
yer about July list for Gold Run dis
trict to be present at the installation
of the new mill. Work is progress
ing nicely at this property, and ore
is being taken from a three-foot vein
that is of excellent quality and free
milling character. Some samples of
the ore run as high as $1,000, but it
is understood that the general aver
age is about $50 to $50 per ton.
The Last Chance property, owned
by Siesenop & Roderick, has now on
the dump, sacked for shipment,
about six tons of leadsilver ore
averaging $3.50 per ton, of which
there is in the shaft at depth of
| fifty feet about three feet of ore.
1t is understood that the Labadie
properties will resume extensive OPP
erations some time in July, and it is
expected that the shipments from
this property will increase the output
of the district very materially, as
the bodies of ore are large and of
good grade.
The Hand-Out group of five
claims, owned by Clark & Taylor,
and the Great Eastern group of two
claims. owned by George Ruehl, have
been taken over by the Georgimac
Mines company of Denver, whose in
tention it Is to begin extensive deyel-
opment at once. G. II. Filing of the
Filing & Edwards Investment COM
pan, Denver, looked over this prop
erty short time ago, and it was his
idea as well as that of several prom
inent mining men that 1t possessed
rare possibilities for the making of
an immense mine. On this property
there are no less than eight lodges,
running from three to seven feet
wide, which show extremely high
values in free gold, some of which
would compare favorably with the
bonanzas of Goldfield and other rich
districts. Only few days ago a
ledge of quartz seven feet wide was
uncovered in an open cut that pans
the entire width an average of some
thirty or forty dollars a ton, and it
is expected that when this company
attains depth of 500 feet Gas it is
their intention now so to do that
the value and quantity of the ore
will command the attention of the
greatest mining men in the world.
There are innumerable other
properties just starting development,
some taking out ore, others doing To-

presents a wonderful degree of ac-
tivity. The amount of blasting
would give person the idea that
the whole nation was celebrating
some grand occasion.
1t is peculiar incident that this
rich district has been overlooked un-
til now, when it is considered that
the facilities for ore handling and
domestic conveniences are without
doubt the best of any district in the
state.
In every little gulch and ravine is
the finest of spring waters, and some
of them running streams with cool
fresh-looking willows and grass
growing beside them that appears as
a paradise to one who has been pros
pecting on the dry and hot desert
districts. Another consideration is
the game that person may have in
season for table use such as sage
chickens, quail and young rabbits.
A narrow-gauge railroad runs from
Golconda into the heart of the dis
trict, over which the ores may be
shipped to the Southern Pacific main
line at very small expense, and
there is no doubt that the Gold Run
district will make good. The min
eral is there and it's up to the oper-
ators in the district to extract and
