WILL SOON SHIP
ORE FROM THE
MIZPAH Mine
A Rich Body of Ore Struck in The
Nevada Northern
Mine.

Excellent reports were brought in
by arrivals last night from the Miz-
pah district. The camp is very lively
and scores of prospectors are swarm
ing the country. Considerable work
| is being done and Mizpah promises
| to be one of the liveliest districts
in the section.
Mr. Christ, formerly of Salt Lake.
who arrived from the district last
night, stated that some fine strikes
have been made on the Mizpah Con-
solidated company's property. The
shaft in the Nevada Northern claim
of this company's property is down
IS feet and the vein is over three
feet wide. 1t started at the surface
with width of eight inches and in
creased gradually as the shaft was
sunk. 1t is wider than the shaft and
is very rich. The last assay showed
24.S per cent copper from the picked
rock. The general run of the vein
is 1426 per cent with $3.96 in sill
yer and trace of gold.
The Cobre claim of this group is
also showing up well and the surface
rock runs 104 in gold, $442 in sill
rock runs 1.04 per cent in gold, 81. 2
in silver and sos per cent in copper.
A. tunnel is being cut in the Cobre
claim with the intention of striking
the vein at a depth of 200 feet. 1t
is expected that the ore will be much
richer at this depth.
The Mizpah Consolidated COM
pany's property was purchased from
Banigan and Brady and was bought
outright At the Nevada Northern
claim the ore is being blocked out
as the shaft is sunk and 1000 sacks
were sent there recently. The ore
will be sacked and shipped to Salt
Lake. There is large amount OF
rock on the dumps now and in a
short time the company will COM
mence shipping the ore to the smell
ters. Two shifts are being worked
and if the property continues to
show up as it is, much larger force
of men will be put to work and the
mining will be carried on on a great
er scale.
j. F. Grow, formerly of Ely, and
who has twelve claims in Murray
creek, is experimenting the work at
the Mizpah Consolidated property.
He pronounces the ore as fine as
any he has seen in this section of the
country.
A. d. Meyers, of Goldfield, has a
group of claims adjoining the Nevada
Northern property. He has a shaft
| IS feet in depth and the vein is
showing up fine. The Meyers prop
erty is known as the Tenderfoot
group and some big development
work is being done.
The district has been pretty well
prospected but there are still quite
a number of miners in the country.
The owners of other claims are now
engaged in doing their assessment
| work.
j. Alpert arrived from the Mizpah
district last night and corroborates
Mr.. Christ's reports. He states that
stock company is developing the
Canadian group and that it Is re-
ported that mill will be put up on
the Fisher property.
Alpert and A. G. Cordiner of Ely
are working the Success group OF
mines and are now doing their as
sessment work.
An ore track is being laid toward
the Mizpah side" said Alpert. 1.-The
rails and ties are at hand and the
track will soon be ready for the ore
trains. In a very short time great
amount of ore will be shipped out
over the Nevada Northern to the Salt
Lake shelters.
