Seven Troughs Royal Mining COM
pany, with properties at Farrell, has
returned from a months business
trip to Chicago, Kansas city, Omaha,
Denver and Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Young reports q successful
trip. and says that notwithstanding
the panicky conditions that are prev
alent over the entire country. con-
siderable interest is being taken in
Nevada's mining camps, and adds
that when business becomes normal
there is sure to be great infiux OF
investment seekers into the Seven
Troughs, as we'll as other districts of

Drills and Testing Plant.

G. E. Rich, who is operating quite
extensively in the Rabbit Hole coun-
try north of Rosebud, was in Love.
lock the early part of this week on a
combined business and pleasure trip.
When seen by a Tribune represen-
tative Mr.. Rich stated that the old
placer diggings was experiencing
quite boom at the present time and
that vast amount of development
work was being done both on the
placer and lode claims.
Mr., Rich and associates have been
doing considerable work on a group
of quartz claims near the placer beds
and our informant stated that ledge
measuring four feet in width and
carrying encouraging values had been
uncovered at depth of few feet.
The owners intend to sink deep
shaft and are confident that with
proper development they will en-
counter something sensational.
The Placerotis company, which
owns large area of placer ground,
has a number of men at work and
some extremely rich finds are being
recorded. This company is making
preparations to install Keystone drills
and other machinery necessary for
making thorough test Of the gravel.
Mr.. Rich is very enthusiastic over
the present showing in the Rabbit
Hole country and is confident that
in time it will again rank as one of
Nevada's great gold producing Sec
tions.

BIG STRIKE At FARRELL
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE
Active Development Starts on Wild Cat Claim
With Gratifying Results Iwentyone Sacks
OF $4,000 Ore Already Extracted Work viii
Be Rushed.

E. F. Gordan, who is associated
with o. A. Kimball and others in the
Wild Cat property at Farrell, on
which sensational strike was recent
ly made, was in Lovelock last Monday
enroute to Salt Lake City, whittier he
is going on important mining busi-
ness. In an interview with a Tribune
representative Mr.. Gordon said that
active work was now in progress and
that development was being pushed
with all possible speed.
I'VE have started a working shaft
continued Mr.. Gordon, and while only
about l5 feet has been attained, we
have taken out and sacked 81 sacks
of ore, all of which will carry values
close to $4,000 per ton. There are
two streaks of high grade ore-one
on the hanging wall measuring about
eight inches in width and one on the
footwall about four inches wide.
Lying between the two rich streaks
is about eight feet of mill rock
averaging better than $40 TO the
ton. While it is true no great
amount of development work has been
done, the showing thus far had is
most encouraging, and each days
work shows the ore body larger and
the values better. 1t is my firm be-
lief that when the proper depth is
attained the Wild Cat will rank
among the very best of the state for
producer of the precious metal"

United Mining Company
Cuts Big Ledge of Zinc

A new and important strike has
been made in the tunnel which the
Nevada United Mining company is
running at Coppereid. 1t is the cut
ting of good sized body of zinc ore
at 100 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel and 500 feet vertical depth.
The extent of this body of zinc ore
had not been determined when Man
ager Reid returned from the mine
Wednesday, but the zinc ore is being
blown out in chunks that would weigh
several hundred pounds. 1t carries
an exceptionally high percentage Of
zinc, being estimated to 90 at least
fifty per cent.
The finding of this zinc is consid-
cred good sign by the management
of this property, for zinc is common
ly associated with large bodies OF
copper. Mr.. Reid does not expect to
reach the body of copper for soms
distance yet, and is highly delighted
with the appearance Of zinc at this
time. With drills and powder the
big tunnel of the Nevada United CON-
pany is being driven into the noun
tain rapidly and few months more
work will reach the copper zone
which all surface indications show to
be hidden in the depths of mother
earth.

during the coming winter months.
The Seven Troughs Daisy, which was
recently acquired by Van D. Spauld-
ing of Gold6eld fame, joins the Peter
Pan on the east. Leasers are now
operating on the Daisy property, and
last week it was reported that very
strong ledge had been cut from
which assays as high as $llO0 in
gold had been obtained.
The officers of the Peter Pan com.
pany are C. B. Cole of New York,
president; Ralph o. Giddings, vice.

Reported Strike at Farrell

In a telephone message to Crum-
packer & Sims from Farrell the early
part of this week, the news was con
veyed that a strike was made that
equals, if not surpasses, that recently
made by Kimbal & Gordan. The
new find was made on the Seven
Troughs Caeser property and consists
of l2-foot ledge, from which assays
as high as $4,000 have been obtained
The ledge has been exposed for more
than 800 feet and shows every ear
mark Of opening into a bonanza. The
Casser is owned by Messrs. Chalmers
and Bedford, and is located about
1900 feet south of Kimball & Cor
dams property.

Bird and Dorsey % New York and
Colorado capitalists, and under the
new ownership a new organization
has been effected, which will be
known as the Peter Pan Gold Mining
company. No figures are given Of
lcially in the transaction, but from
outside sources it is learned that the
amount involved runs well into FIVE
figures.
The property acquired by the Peter
Pan company embraces about sixty
acres of the best located ground in
the famous Seven Troughs district.
1t is in direct line with the strike of
the porphyry and basalt contact,
which courses through the district
for distance of more than eight
miles, bringing to the surface the
veins of high grade gold ore for
which this district is now celebrated
Along this contact are found the

blocks. Manager Joslyn stated that
over 5000 of these blocks were fin
ished and cured and ready for use.
Another retaining wall, 1900 feet
in length and constructed of sheet
piling and banked with earth, will
also be built. This will create a
storage reservoir with capacity of
100000 gallons of water.
The wheel pits which will also be
constructed of cement, will be built
for the installation Of two $50 horse
power turbines, and provision will be
made to increase if necessary.
The machinery will all be modern
and of the latest improved designs.
1t will consist of one 200 horse

a day circuit for power purposee.
The projectors of this enterprise are
starting out under most favorable
circumstances, and that the under

One of the largest deals, and one

big mining investors in the famous
Seven Troughs district, was recently
consummated when Hugh Haggart,
one of the big operators in the south
ern part of the state. and associates,
purchased the Red Top claim al Yer
non. The property only consists OF
one full claim, but Notwithstanding
this fact it is reported tnat that The
original owners received $4,000 Tor
their holdings.
The Red Top property is regarded
as one of the best pieces OF ground
in the southern part of the Seven
Troughs district. Under former con-
troll a 90-foot shaft was sunk on a
four-foot ledge. Other than sinking
very little development work has
been done, but thus far the work
has revealed a wonderful showing.
Throughout the entire workings the
values show a good milling grade,
while pockets showing picture ore
are of frequent occurrence.
The Red Top lies between the
famous Buckhorn and the Seven
Troughs Daisy properties, and al
ready two strong ana we'll defined
ledges have been opened on the sur
face.

to locating a shaft site.
Mr.. Gaynor informed the Tribune
representative that a very strong
ledge had been opened on the sur
face. During the past week the
ledge has been stripped for some
distance. At every point where the
dig vein has been exposed the values
are very encouraging and some OF
them run as high as $l8 in gold to
the ton.
The management is preparing to
commence development work on the
new find and next Monday sinking
will be commenced. The shaft will
Oe sunk to the 100 foot point, when
