At Ely the Central has two keystone
drills hammering away night and day.
and the third cne will be put at work
as soon as the roads will permit 1t
being taken up the canyon. AS ore
finders the drills have proved a great
success on the Central ground, and
now 1t Is merely matter Of blocking |
out the acreage to determine the points
where the several shafts will go down. |
One shaft is now being sunk in ore,
and the others will be started soon.
The Carbondale Ely Copper company
has been incorporated for $1,000,000 in |
81 shares by Walker & Boreman, Neil
Monroe, M r. Garaghan and M. M. |
Johnson. They have purchased group
of fourteen claims in Sawmill canyon, |
fourteen miles south Of Ely. In doing
assessment work on one of the claims
in December some very fine copper
sulphide ore was exposed which has
widened to three feet. This ore runs
33 per cent copper, Sc gold and seven
ounces silver from a depth Of twelve
feet. Lead carbonates, carrying IL per
cent lead and some silver, are also.
found in this property, which is to be
developed at once on an extensive scale.
The Nevada Exploration and Mining
company, capital 100000, par value of
shares 10 cents, has been organized to
operate the Ely, by w. H. Margon,
Homer Thomas and Frank B. Scott.
A letter from Manager Ben D. Luce
of the Christmas Wonder company
property at Wonder, New, states the
camp has doubled in population since
he was there a few weeks ago, and
that transportation facilities between
the camp and Fallon are being taxed
to the limit to meet the demands of
passenger traffic. There is not a prop
erty in the district that has not record
ed improved conditions, and on the
Christmas every opening that has been
made in the ledges goes to prove that
the property is one of the best located
in the district. A tunnel is being driven
now that is designed to open the big
ledge at depth of approximately 300
feet, and Manager Luce calculates
that, with the ledge holding it's dip
as indicated in surface workings, it will
be tapped within the next seventy-f1ve
feet. Mr.. Luce also states that the
recent strike at Westgate is holding
cut we'll and that the excitement
caused over the discovery continues
Mizpah a Bonanza
In Mizpah district Henry Kensinger,
on his Lucky Strike claim No. 1, made
one of the best finds in a ten-foot vein
that will run better Than $100 to the
ton. B. F. Bannigan. superintendent
of the Jumbo, opened two additional
ore chutes on the Jumbo claim that
run from $50 to $160 in gold. Lynch
&, Irish, on the Contract group, have
S100 ore the full width of the shaft. In
the Tenderfoot, also, new ore was
opened in the last few days.
On the northeast slope of the range,
about one mile east of the Jumbo,
Lynch & Irish are working on the Con-
tract group of eleven claims, in one of
which they have vein very like the
Tenderfoot in appearance, carrying SO
to 81 gold and to 81 per cent copper.
They are working to further prove up
the value of their holdings and will
soon have one of the deepest shafts
in the distric t. The main vein is in
the bottom of small gulch and crops
about 300 feet below the shaft, showing
good copper ore.
At Fairview Rice & Sullivan have
bought outright the Fairview Reliance
company, which owns a group of claims
that are confidently believed to be
traversed by the mother lode of the
Fairview district. Directly between the
Reliance group and the Nevada Hills
is the Cedar group which was also
purchased by Sullivan & Rice from M.
e. Finney, the consideration being the
largest cash price ever paid for a Fair
view property except one, viz, the Ida
mines one-half interest In which was
sold by George Bertschy and l.. e. c..
Hinckley for $4,000, spot cash.
Around Rhyollte
The Surprise claim, on the Bullfrog
Nugget at Rhyolite, is developing an
important showing of free gold ore.
The winze, which is down about seven
feet, is yielding excellent paintings
across the dimensions of the hole, by
6 feet, and the quantity of gold in the
tc ci Of
shots.
In the new workings on the Lee Bo-
nanza of :hyolite the shaft is down
twelve feet in solid ore, ]. innings from
which could indicate value of better
than 5000 per ton in places, and 1t is
believed the entire body will pay to
ship. This shaft Is on the main ledge
on the Beck claim, which can be traced
on the surface by groupings for dis
tance of 1000 to 1900 feet. 1t has the
same trend and is generally believed
to be an extension Of the rich Hayseed
ledge. The property of the Lee Bonan-
20 is in many respects similar to the
Hayseed, having the same character
of ore and being located on low, rolling
hills opposite the fiat from the Hayseed.
Round Mountain, from every view
point, is looking in the best of condi-
ton, and there Is not an idle man in

mill running uay ana nlshI, ana mas
more work than 1t can take care of.
The ore runs so free that here the
feelings amount to only a trace. The
Shnnyside has nearly completed a two
stamp mill that will have a capacity
of thirty tons a day, and 1t looks as
If this will have to be increased in the
very near future.
Like House Aflre
"Rosebud's properties are showing
up in excellent shape" said James II.
Macmillan, the well known OPERATOR
who has Just returned from trip to
that district and to Wonder. Il was
surprised to a degree and predict a
great future for the camp. 1 paid par
ticular attention to the Nevada Rose
bud Mining company's properties
known as the Brown Palace group,
which is controlled by Schwab and
Macdonald. The surface showing Is
marvellous with silver and gold. The
