Tuscarora and in the Bull Run
This section is coming
to the front very rapidly from the
important discoveries recently made.
The reports from that section have
been very favorable and later infor-
nation is to the effect that a strike
has been made of much Importance
which in fact from the limited
amount of development appears to
be a veritable bonanza. A face of
ore has been disclosed from three
and a half to five feet wide and a
crosscut defines a strong vein carry
ing as high as 600 unce in silver
and $50 in gold. All the ore ex-
tracted in advancing this crosscut is
shipping material and is o being
sacked for the purpose of forward
ing to the smelter.
The strange part of the matter is
that the discovery was entirely acct
dental and was made by a party while
out fishing, and who noticed a land
slide and upon closer investigation
found a ledge which not only shows
a strong outcrop but can be traced
for considerable distance on the r
face. There is actually in sight in
this outcrop ore of a sufficiently high
grade to return a good profit after
all expenses are paid,
The Denver-Nevada Gold Mining
company is getting in shape for max
ing a big summers run on that large
placer estate. Fumes and miles of
pipe are in good condition and a
promising cleanup is expected.
The Aura King mill is running on
a very high grade gold-lead-silver
ore and the concentrates will run
about $120 per ton.
A large number of %prospectors
have recently gone into that section,
believing it to be m of the most
promising mineral fields in Nevada,
and as there is a number of miles of
INDICATED territory no doubt discov-
cries of Puch Importance will be
made.
A. w. Sewall has purchased an
interest in a group of gold mines
owned by Blewet & Bentley. This
transfer was made at a handsome
figure for assays have been had from
the group showing values as higf
as $1,000 per ton, and this property
will be sacking and shipping ore a
once.
Prick & Co. have Some goot
prospects and it is not unusual L
get exceedingly good paintings show
, ing strings of free gold.
d. J. O'Shea has recently strucl
nine-foot prophyry dyke which SHOW
good paintings.
The very rich showings on tn
Blenheim group is now being eX
amined by a Montana mining oper
ator and he will very probably opel
, this property on a large scale. Thi
gentleman is very much pleased witt
the district and will take over othe
propositions. In the tunnel which |
being advanced on the Blenhei1
there is a great deal of gold or
" which assays $4,000 per ton and tn
amount of this ore now actually !
sight is entirely sufficient to make
a shipper.
: Several groups in this district o
which no work has been done for
2 number of years have been bonde
Il and will be actively developed a
! soon as the snow disappears. Anon
these claims are the Greenbaum
{ Greigter properties, the Revenue an
