He says that the shaft on the For

that gold values of $50 and copper of
16 per cent have been uncovered
Surface yields as high as $12 in gold
have been obtained.
On the b. and B. group, owned by

good force of men doing assessment
work, and a Goldfeld crowd working
between the Ulida and the Busch

Mr.. Busch's Red Rose is also making

Farrell, in the Seven Troughs dis

Money is plentiful, and the banks

which is run by Bert Rhyme. They
serve you with the finest kind of a

and they have the finest kind OF
suites, including baths for the most
reasonable rates.
There are only six saloons in the
town and they all close up at mid
night, and all seem to be doing q
good business. They have the finest
kind of fruits and vegetables, and
they get their electric lights for lit

PLANT FOR THE
CONGRESS MINE

J. Il. Wood, president Of the Del
Orc Mining company, operating at
Johnnie, is making arrangements for
the installation of a 15-horsepower
gasoline hosting plant at the prop
erty.
Mr.. Wood has just returned from
the mine, where he found develop
ment work progressing very satisfac-
torily The shaft was Just recently
started, and when it reaches a depth
Of fifty feet the hosting machinery
will be installed. This, he thinks,
will be in about tel days.
The bottom now shows two and a
half feet of ore, which, he says, will
average better than $400 TO the ton
in gold. Mr.. Wood has specimens
from the Del ORC which run into the
pictures. The quartz is studded with
free gold. and carries values into the
thousands.
Mr.. Wood brings the information
that a $4,000 mining plant is to be
erected at once on the Congress,
which adjoins his property. The Con-
| gress is owned by Harry Ramsey,
Jim Butler and associates. 1t is an
old mine, having been operated years
ago, and has a shaft on 1t 500 feet
deep. besides a great deal of lateral
work. Generally speaking it is a low
grade proposition with a vein mea.
surfing forty feet in width. There Is
a high grade, streak however, which
returns values as high as 5000 In
gold. A mill formerly operated was
burned seventeen years ago, and
practically nothing has been done on
this property since this time. The
present owners intend starting work
on the new plant the first of the year
The new mill will probably handle
some custom ores, which Mr.. Wood
thinks will greatly facilitate the de.
yelopment of the Del Orc, since the
initial output can be treated there be
fore the company is ready to install

Last Saturday the Grutt brothers
sold a claim just above the Hoover

Mr.. Hoover estimates that there
are 1890 people in Rawhide and says
the fifteen saloons are so crowded at

them.
We are glad to hear Mr.. Hoover
state that the men employed by the
county commissioners are doing ex-
cellent work on the alkali fiat Just
