Developments of big things for the
American canyon district are coming
thick and fast this winter and spring.
Not long ago we announced the inau-
geration of work by the Indiana Gold
Dredging and Mining company, of
work upon the great placer grounds
of that canyon, which operations in
volve the expenditure of over $780,
600. Now comes the news of the
sale of quartz claims in and adjoining
this same canyon, which are of equal
magnitude and mean as much tc the
district. The purchase price of these
properties will aggregate $l50,0O0,
while the expenditures in the devel-
opment of the various mines will soon
run into the millions. Senator 7. l..
Oddie, the Qddie-Newsom company
Nevada Almaden Mining company are
the parties taking hold of these prop
critics and their standing as extensive
mine operators in various camps of
this and other states, is guarantee
.hat active development work will be
carried on.
wALRER BROS. STRIKE AND SALE
Chief among the strikes and sales
is that of the Walker Bros, we'll
known mine owners and prospectors
of Elko county. On the 26th day of
last December they located some
claims on the north of American can
yon, below the Iron Hill mines of
Charles Cook and Louis Bartlett BY
careful paAaing they traced out the
ledge which has now proven to be
rich in gold and cinnibar and five
claims of which they have sold to
j T.. l.. Oddie at a small fortune.
This cinnibar strike is considered
very important by those familiar with
the placer gold of the canyon, which
has cnnibar associated with it over
the entire diggings. Hence, it is ar
gued, this ledge is the chief source
of the placer gold, and the mother
lode," has been found This Walker
strike seems to be a continuation of
the one made last year by W. H.
Henry, at point further east. and
opens up the cinnibnr ledge for near
ly mile and a half east and west, on
the north side of the canyon, from
which direction the bulk of the wash
seems to have come.
So in less than two months the
Walker Boys have made this discov-
cry and sold their prospect for nearly
half hundred thousand and still
have manv claims left in the canyon.
j. G. Taylor and W. c. Pitt, of this
place, are interestec with the Walk
ers in This strike and sale.
DlLN hlINu
For many years R. s. Fiegge Of
Lovelock has held onto his claim cal
led the Silver King, about halfway
down the canyon, on the north side.
Ore.veins of varying values, up TO
the thousands, have been struck on
this claim and bonds have been given
to different parties at varying figures.
Now Mr.. Fiegge has sold this mine
to the Nevada Almaden company,
represented by w. H. Adamson of
Winnemucca, for sufficient to give
him ample means to developc other
properties he owns in that vicinity.
COOK AND Bartlett SELL IRON HILL.
The property that has had more
work done on it than any other in the
Canyon was the Iron Hill mines held
for many years by Chas Cook and
Louis Bartlett in partnership, but
lately in divided interest. Over a
thousand feet of tunnel has been
on this property and some good ore
encountered. Some of it was worked
in an erasta and several hundred dol
lars in value taken out. The long
tunnel on the claim was run just a.
bove the cinnibar ledge discovered
by the Walker boys and it is for this
ledge that the property was recently
purchased by the Oddie-Newsome
Company. There are six claims in
this group. covering the big iron
