Ramsey, New, July 5.-Of unusual i'm
portancc to this district as well as the
shareholders. is a strike of rich surface
ore on the Ramsey Consolidated COM
pany's ground. The holdings consist of
two claims adjoining with an immense
dixie appearing on either. They are known
as DagO No. l and No. >. On No. l il is
discovered the Outcrop carries high sur
face values in free gold. Paintings may
be obtained almost any place across the
dixie and some sensational results are OBJ
tanned on the hanging wall side. Arrange
ments Will soon be completed for lower
ing a shaft at this point. This ground is
within the limits of the tOwnsite and is
one mile south Of the Ramsey-ComstOck
mine, on a different mineral belt. On
DagO No. they will soon cross-cut the
ledge from the 300-foot level. Some rich
ore shoots will be cut that are known
TO exist.
Ramsey-Comstock Producing Well.
At the Ramsey-Comstock mine drifting
on the ore shoot on the third level is in
progress. Ore is being sacked for ship
ment as they go and already between 800
and 400 sacks Of hgh-grade are piled up.
The full width of the six-foOt drift is be
ing sacked. but a thPee-foOt streak lying
against the hanging wall produces the
richer ores. 1t Is phenomenally rich in
Tree gold and specimens containing tellu-
rum are found. The company has or
deTed improved machinery and will ar
range for continuous shipments Some eX-
traordinary net returns are sure to be
obtained
The Walkover Mining company is tun-

ground. three-fOot ore shoot encoun-

Tying gold values better than $50 per
ton, makes of this property q grass-roOt
mine. Surface paintings equal to those of
the famous Ramsey-COmstock dixie may
be obtained on WalkoveT and it has every
ear mark OF being a high-grader from
the start Machinery is purchased to sink
a shaft TO good depth on the ledge.
Machinery for the Bonanza.
A temporary shutdown has taken place
on Ramsey Bonanza ground to make
ready for the installation of machinery
They are sinking a two-cOmpartment
shaft which is now in the ore body There
is a wide extent of ore blocked out that
runs $40 a ton and a twO-fOOt vein next the
hanging wall that assays s1,100. As soon
as this ledge is under proper development
extensive work will be done on other
Lodges that show high surface values.
With the addition of machinery the COM
pany intends getting out shipments as
rapidly as possible. The mine is in ex-
ccllent condition.
A shaft is to be sunk by the Ramsey
Ophir Mining company, whose ground ad-

The bonanza ledge can be seen trending
through the group for great distance.
The shaft will be sunk as close to the end
corresponding to that of the company be-
low They have uncovered the lead with
surface trenching and will probably sink
on the hanging wall side. High surface
values are found and there seems every
reason for expecting some early and sub
