SEARCHLIGHT, New. Sept 29.-S. A.
M. Wardlaw writes from Los Angeles that
company has been successfully launched
to exploit the Stoner-Bone group of
claims at Eldorado. Mr.. Wardlaw was
active In the sale of this property and
| subsequently has devoted most of his
time to promotion of the company.
The property in question consists of
| four claims just north of the famous
| Jubilee and but short distance west
| OF the Fortuna. On the surface the
property shows up well, there being, in
addition to several strong hedges, small
er vein of high grade ore which shows
considerable specimen rock
The company is a rare and pleasing
exception in that all the officers and
directors. with the exception of two, are
going to work in the mine as miners
| and mucAers under the direction of a
| competent mining man.
| The roster reads as follows: President.
James E. Babcock vice president. Steph-
en- t. Lorando; second vice president.
s. A. M. Wardlaw; secretary and treas
urer' Charles Haase; directors, Elmer
Mcdowell and George w. Vierra.
Southwest of Battle mountain about
| twenty miles some good prospects have
lately been discovered Gold bearing
rock has been uncovered in considerable
quantity in the hills of the western por-
tion of the old Galena district, about
one mile southwest of the old Copper
Canyon mine, a property that has been
| worked for over thirty years and is now
being developed by Scotch English com
pany. They are reported to ask 100000
for the property, which is high grade
copper proposition. Three six horse teams
are busy hauling ore from this property
to Battle mountain for shipment to the
smelters.
+. l.. Millen has sold to a party Of
Hollywood, CAL, capitalists a group of
eleven claims at Eldorado canyon The
consideration is $4,000, of which amount
substantial cash payment is made The
property in question is known as the
Partnership group and is located one
quarter of a mile north of the Sandy
Harris mine. Associated with Mr. Millen
as a partner in the deal is Ed Simpson.
Under the terms of the transfer the pur-
chasers receive three-quarter interest,
the original owners retaining the remain
ing one-quarter. The sale is the result
of a personal visit made this week by
five of the eight gentlemen who compose
the syndicate. They are Messrs. E. w.
Twist, w. r. Snodgrass, A. E. Rieshel,
]. 7. French and w. H. Weddington.
Eddie Shaft
The Eddie is to have a working shaft
of 500 feet, sheer vertical. Work is to
commence as soon as the necessary ma
chinery arrives. including 25-horsepower
hoist which has been ordered. 1t is ex-
pected that the usual complement of
buildings, including the galows frame,
will be finished in time to cause no delay
on that scor e.
B. B. La,hbury and Fred Garrison of
Philadelphia, the latter recently of the
Carlsen-Ethen company of this place, the
first of the week sent word to George
Freeborn instructing him to sink a 90
foot shaft on the Eagle No. 1 of their
Eagle group in Eldorado canyon. They
further states that they desired the work
pushed as rapidly as possible. That at the
completion of it they would decide on the
location of le working shaft and that
their plans contemplated extensive de-
velopment All of which meanr that their
assay returns from the surface samping,
which those gentlemen attended to in
person on the occasion of their recent
visit here, were exceedingly satisfactory.
The Mob Hill section of the Eldorado
mining district is destined to become
bonanza producer second to none in this
end of the state. At the present time
active work is in progress in twelve diff
ferent properties, all in ore and produc-
ing
Inc silver ReB1On MI e Is easily the
leader in the matter of prod :ction and in
the showing of high grade ore. From the
S5-foot level on this prope.' " silver lead
ore is being sacked running Between $500
and $500 per ton. This IS taken from an
eighteen-nch streak next to the hanging
wall while Inc balance of the vein, about
four feet. is thrown on the ore dump
The latter will run between s35 and $40
per ton and will be handled, the manage
ment states, by concentrating machines.
The Fortuna mine Is now working in
full blast Since the resume Superintend-
ent A. A. McNight has been engaged
principally in planning extensive future
development and at the same 'me to ex-
tract sufficient ore to make not only the
property sell supporting, but to lay aside
sufficient money to pay for the installa-
ton of a large equipment or expensive G
machinery. The last shipment OF TINS
property gave such handsome returns that
the management are going to make regu-
lar Shipments from now on The ore is
being sacked as it is taken from the
workings and very little sorting is needed.
Specimens from this property have as
saved as high as $4,000 per ton in gold and
silver. Chunks of horn liver have been
found in the course of development as
large as a hens egg. The vein which
faulted at the 1O0-foot level In the early
DEVELOPMENT was found by cross cutting
back fifteen feet and is now stronger ana
richer than in any of the upper workings.
