STRUCK 1T RICH IN THE
BOYD'S BASIN DISTRICT

1t is reported that c. A. Cooper
and George Maute, who were among
the discoveries of the Manhattan dis
trict. have again made a rich strike
fnl what is known as Boyd's basin,
about twelve miles south of DEMO,
and not far from Dyke.
The ore was discovered in a dyke
cropping for several feet out of the
ground and extending across the
country for several thousand feet.
Speciments of the ore exhibited along
the stage road show specks of gold
as big as grains of wheat. Parties
who have seen the claims state that
there is a large quantity of ere In
sight that will pay to mill. A large
number of claims have been located. "

GOOD OUTLOOK
AT PINENUT
MANY At WORK

Pinenut is swarming with pros
peetors, according to adVices and in
formation received by the !. Carson
City News, and the outlook in that
region, which is within striking dis
lance of Carson City, is better than
ever before. In referring to the con-
ditions there and the prospects the
6ardnerville Courier, usually con-
servative on mining affairs, says:
Five claims which the lessen
brothers sold the controlling interest
to New York people and what is
known as the Red Canyon Mining
company is in the very heart of the
district. Tuesday the Jessens re-
ceiyed notifications from the secre-
tary of the company to get things in
shape to begin work before the goth
of June.
The veins trend northwest and
southwest; the formation is granite
with an intrusion of diorities and
enormous dykes carrying heavy
percentage of pyritic iron, and the
oxidization gives the steep hill deep
red hue, from which it derived its
name of Red Canyon.
ION the Copper Queen the miner
alization shows great deal of sui
/ phides, in several places twenty feet
in width The Utica group consists
of twelve claims and is owned by Salt
Lake people, and on this property is
series of contact veins. The forma-
ton here is diorities, granite, schist
At one point on this property the sui
/ phide ores crop for a length of three
claims and are capped with red OK
idee of iron which lies between the
schist and diorite. One of the monu-
ments on the Utica claim is built en-
tirely of copper-stained limestone.
The limestone belt is disclosed at
least half a mile wide and the miner
aliZation is very pronounced and
shows a great deal of silver-leaf ore
on several claims.
The surface showing in Red Can
yon district is entirely sufficient to
warrant aggressive development, and
as the hill slopes at an angle of 4 )
! degrees economical development can
be advanced by driving tunnels.
Ample water is furnished by a
stream which runs down the canyon
carrying something like 1000 min
ers' inches, and as there is ample
timber on the mountains very favor
able conditions prevail for active
work.

TUNGSTEN ORES FOUND IN
THE CRESCENT DISTRICT

The mineral possibilities of the
Crescent district have awakened con-
siderable interest among mining men
Tungsten, in paying quantities, has
been discovered by Norman b. Har-
ris, an assayer at Crescent.
A black looking, volcanic forma-
ton, found in large dykes in the vi
entity of Crescent peak and old Cres-
cent camps has been walked over and
passed by prospectors as worthless.
BY qualities analysis this rock has
been proved in many instances to
carry tungsten in sufficient quanti-
ties to pay operating expenses. Mr..
Harris also asserts that in similar
formation in the same vicinity some
samples of ore carrying a high per-
centage in platinum have been tested.
