The Dickey mine, one of Mr.. Weber's
properties and which adjoins the Spider

put down to a depth of 400 feet and
crosscuts will be run every hundred
feet.
The unnel on the Doctor is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible
and from the position of the ledge on
the surface it is expected that the tun-
mel will be in ore within two weeks.

Henry Weber returned to Goldfeld
last Sunday from a visit to the Wonder
district, where he went to inspect the
various properties he is interested in IN

ment of ore from the big Vulture mine.
There is a great deal of activity in

"Blackhorse is enjoying an era of
great prosperity" remarked r. A. Mil
lick. who came in Sunday from that sec
ton of the country, "in spite of the fact
that there is a shortage of lumber and
that the mines are working short

The saw mills in the mountains will
not open until June 1. and Superintend-
ent Stewart. of the Amalgamated prop
critics states that he cannot get all the
miners he wants.
"A camp has been established on
baker creek by Mr.. Stewart. and a
small force of men has been sent out to
do the preliminary work on the power
plant which the Amalgamated people
will put up this summer. These men
will be employed in grading out a site
for the proposed plant.
T Blackhorse mine is making an
excellent showing. In the lower levels
there is twenty feet of ore that will go

crosscut on the 60-foot level in the

has not been exaggerated.

MINING NEWS OF THE STATE


The old Chairman mine on which
Charles ID. Lane spent in the neighbor-
hood Of $4,000 in 1897 Is soon again
to be a scene of activity. The present
owners propose to sink two new shafts
on new ground and a large force of men
will be employed. The old shaft will
be abandoned. 1t Is believed that under
lying the big iron vein on the Joana.
there is an immense body of copper and
development work will be started at
that point to ascertain the truth or
falsity of the theory.
The Antwerp Colo Mining company
has been formed by New York capital
group Of claims at Gold Canon. neal
Cherry creek.
AL ID. Meyers. the associate Of Tex
Richard in various mining enterprises
in this district. and Thomas T. Lane,
son of Charles d.. Lane. The millionaire
mine owner, have concluded negotia-
tions for the purchase of the Tenderfoot
group of seven claims at Mizpah. C1ar-
ence Shute. J. A. Long n ". Helm
are the owners Of the group. and re-
ceived a substantial cash payment to
bind the agreement.
Before Long and his associates would
entertain any of the propositions made
by Meyers and Lane. they stipulated
that the purchasers would ave to show
their good faith by sinking a shaft to
a depth of $50 feet. All their proposals
were agreed to and the plans for de-
velop ing the group will be pushed for
ward as fast as facilities will permit.
Thomas Lane spent several days al
Mizpah this week looking over the diff
ferent mines, and after satisfying i'm
self with the Tenderfoot showings, he
left for San Francisco last Monday to
purchase the necessary machinery to be
used in opening up the property.
When Charles d. Lane worked the
Chairman group at Ely in 1897. Thomas
Lane acted in the capacity of manager
of all his fathers holdings. Under his
management the power plant below
town, the water bitches and the tele.
phone line between Ely and Eureka
were constructed. After spending $780,.
900 without any visible returns. Lane
gave up his option o the Chairman.
When the Mizpah excitement started
Long and his associates were novices
in the mining profession. being recent
arrivals from Kansas. They were
among the first in the new camp, and
