The Shoshone has reached the water
at a depth Of $50 feet. which means
that the sulphide zone is being approach
ed. About a week ago water began to
appear in the bottom. In tine course OF
a few days it became a serious matter.
Sunday nine ore buckets were bailed
out. but 1t gained Roadway until a cou-
pie of days ago. During the last shift
before work in the shaft had to be
knocked on. II buckets. or 1870 gal
Ions were bailed out In four hours.
The immediate result of this water
flow will be to enable the company to
put its steam hoist il commission with

the really important water conditions
will be found. In the lodges the water

Bryce Turner. who has the supervi-
sion of the property, is very well pleased
with development. He is satisfied thai
he has the water level Of this section.
The Shoshone shaft is at least 100 feet
deeper h any other in the Bullfrog
district. Mr.. Turner. when interviewed
after he had followed developments for
several days. spoke substantially as fol-
lows:
This menas a lot for the property
and proves something for this entire
section. Water means the approach OF

PROJECTORS IN
PANAMINT RANGE

E. 8. Smith of Los Angeles, arrived
in Goldfeld a few days ago from a
four months prospecting trip on the
west side of the Panamint range.
~"Prospectors are still thick in the
Panamints, Notwithstanding the intense
heat" said Mr.. Smith.
II did all my prospecting between
Ballarat. which by the way is almost
as hot as Death Valley now. and Skidoo.
l was looking only for high grade stuff
and I made no locations. although I
came across a great quantity of low
grade prospects. running from SO to Sc
in gold.
Il was told by prospectors that there
were fully 1000 prospectors out in the
Panamints last March. within fifty
miles of Skidoo. I believe their state
ments from the number I saw. While
water is scarce in the Panamints. the
ground is not difficult and on the whole
west slope. where l was. is easy to
prospect.
There are about 100 men working
about Skidoo now. and that is a good
camp. Many good copper locations. rum
ming as high as 30 per cent nave Deen
made in the Argus range. There is a
good deal of gold in pockets at Skidoo.
Hoyt brothers lease tool out $50, 900
from one pocket.
For twenty miles south of Ballarat
the prevailing formation is a lime con-
tact, as far as ] saw. I was hunting
for gold, n I came across no signs
of copper on the west slope of the Pana-
mints. There have been some good
copper finds on the western slope of the
Slate range and I am told that more
can be looked for. There is much activ-
ity on both sides of the Argus range
and I think I shall go over the ground
in that section. Ballarat is a good place
but capital is badly needed for develop
ment. About fifty men are working
within a radius of twenty miles of 1t.
The heat has made things quiet. as 1t Is
to be expected at this season"

ENORMOUS ORE BODIES OF
PITTSBURG-SILVER PEAK

As q specimen Of the ore bodies in the
mine 1t may be stated that the stope
in the Mary is 500 feet in length. with a
back of 1900 feet.
A lot of heavy rails were taken to the
mine this week for use Of the motors
in the haulage of the ore from the vari-
Gus workings of the property. When
laid they will complete the connection
between the Mary and the WATSON, and
it is the intention of the management
to resume the development work which
was discontinued the first of the month.
This means hat the sixty or eighty
men who were laid Off will be put back
to work again soon after the first of the
coming month int the mine will be put
in condition to meet any demand which
may be made upon it. The track equip
ment being installed is fully equal to
that of many of the narrow gauge rail-
roads through the country. and will per-
NIT of big loads being taken to the load
ing station, which is probably 1000 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel.
The water which will be used in the
milling operations will be obtained from
a well SUM on the edge Of The salt
marsh. and will be conveyed to the
plant through a strong steel pipe. twelve
inches in diameter. To force the water
up the hill, with it's raise Of 800 feet,
will require a pump. with cylinders 10

Ions per minute. will tax the energies
of an electric motor of 100 horse power,
and the line. when complete. will have
no superior in the state, or for that
matter, in few other places.
Few people, other than those who
have had an opportunity of witnessing
the evolution of this master stroke of
mining enterprise, have had anything
approaching an accurate idea Of the i'm
mensity of this undertaking. which has
a few parallels in the history of min
ing. The Press believes that in its
story Of the doings of the Pittsburg-
Silver Peak Gold Mining company, it
has not overstated anything. n we
have ~endeavored to give the cold facts
in the upbuilding Of a great property.

The Blair Press says: In order that
no misconception might arise from the
statements in The Press last week as
to the amount of ore in sight in the
Pittsburg-Silver Peak Gold Mining com
pany. we have taken the trouble to as
certain from those in a position to know,
the estimated amount of ore available
for immediate extraction.
The figures given are astonishing. and
place the property in the front rank OF
mines in the state. h sampling OF
the mine upon which 1t was purchased
returned an average value of all the
ore at $S.25 per ton. Samples were
taken every five feet in all the tunnels
drifts and levels, and necessity included
many spots which were practically bar
rem, and which, in the course of future
operations. will be left as supports fol-
the remaining ground.
A careful survey of the Slopes in the
Growing Glory, Drinkwater and Was
son shows that 100000 tons is the
amount which may be taken from thos
and milled probably. In the Mary and
Mohawk the amount Is estimated al
200, 900 tons, and the milling value OF
it all is $12 per ton, making the value
of the ore in sight $40, SOC .000. TIC
crush his immense tonnage will require
that the mill run continuously. night
anS day, for a period of six years and
two months, allowing 400 tons to be
crushed every twenty-four hours. As
the expense Of milling. mining and
other taxes upon the ore before a pro-
AT will he realized will amount to less
thar IS per ton. it can be seen that the
amount of profit which the company can
with a reasonable degree of assurance,
calculate upon. is 100000 per a
for six years. with 100000 left over
for To this must be added
the reasonably certainty that additional
ore bodies will be developed in the
course of the work in the mine, so the
statement that the Ptttsburg-Siiver
Peak Gold Mining company owns one
of the biggest, If not the largest. gold
mine in the state Of Nevada. is not far
wrong.

Nevada

The Nevada Douglass is the only Yerington property
which is mentioned, although the people have heard that
copper ores in carload lots have been shipped from the Lud-
wig. Nevada Douglass, Blue Stone, and Mason Valley, which
carry values of from rs per cent to IS per cent copper, per
ton. Yerington district is now receiving some attention.
Quite an important matter is the recent financing of a
giant corporation in the justly famous old Tuscarora dis
trict which has been accomplished by the Tuscarora Nevada
Mines company. This corporation has combined the Navajo
with a record output Of $7,00000o; Commando s24oO,OOo;
North Belle Isle SO, 500, 900; Nevada Queen and Common
wealth "a. $1,000; Independence 50, 100000; De Freese $780,
900; Grand Prize s4.sOO,o0O; Dexter $s.ooooo0; and 1000
acres of a very rich gravel deposit which has produced w.
900. 900 or a grand total from this estate Of $3s,ss0,OOO. This
corporation now has $1.250.OO0 in the treasury, 100000 OF
which is Immediately available for building a railroad 52
miles long from Elko on the Southern Pacific, to Tuscarora'
and the remaining $75O.o0o will be used in contemplated ex-
tensive operations; the most important of which Will De the
sinking Of a double compartment shaft down to a depth OF
1000 feet. The working shaft will be driven down at the
most judicious point for exploiting this vast estate at depth.
This proposition will now be advanced as aggressively as
possible and the prosecution Of the work will no doubt re-
suit in another output of $40. OO0 900 from famous Tuscarora
district. H. ]. Mayham, a prominent and aggressive mining
operator is the moving spirit in this great enterprise.

EXACT INFORMATION NEEDED

The people of the East feel a deep interest in Nevada
mining matters generally but there appears to be a lack
of special Information which is desirable. OF course, indf-
vidual corporations have exploited the merits of separate
propositions. but there seems to be a general desire to act
ually see ores from producing properties all over the state
and it is the consensus of public opinion of not only the in
vestors, but brokers and mining men that If an exhibit could
at once be had of the producing mines, 1t would be of imme-
date benefit as a positive demonstration that not only one
or two but many districts in Nevada offer the very best OPP
portunities for an honest investment with reasonable assur-
ance Of handsome returns. Many persons have already
inquired of the commissioner as to the showings in different
districts and these inquiries would very probably result In
great benefit to the sections named, if the proper representa-
lions could be made.

SENATOR SAUNDERS INDIGNANT
No Ordinary Stationary Good Enough
for Him, BY Heck!

Senator Saunders of Douglas is
honorable senate isn't good enough for
him. When he flourishes his pen and
attempts to sign his august name to a
letter, the stationery balks and the
pen sputters. This makes the name
of Saunders look bad, hence the SEN
ator's anger.
We 10 not blame him. The senate
is entitled to the best, and don't you
forget it. Every member of the leg
islature is in the habit of purchasing
only the very best when he is at home,
that is, if they are not furnished with
stationery by some baking powder con-
Germ And that reminds us of a story.
Years ago the editor of The Wage
worker was running weekly paper in
a Nebraska town. He accepted an
advertisement from a general mer-
chant at the county seat. Immediately
after the advertisement appeared
local merchant sat down and wrote
''roast" because the paper had accept
ed business from another city. You
ought TO stand by the town where you
get your living said the local mer-
chant The roast would have had
some effect'if the angry merchant had
not written it on a badly printed let
terhead furnished for him by bak-
ing powder concern in an eastern me-
tropolis.
We trust that Senator Saunders and
other complaining senators are not in
the habit of using that kind OF sta
tionery at home.
