STRAY DOG MINE
IS LOOKING FINE
Valuable Property of the Sullivan
Company in the Manhattan Dis
trict-Points in Detailed
Report

The first detailed report of develop
ment work done on the Stray Dog
mine at Manhattan since the reorgan-
ization of the Sullivan Trust company,
in January last, is out.
The quartz veins opened up are four
in number and are oxidized to a
depth of 215 feet, as so far shown by
the development. There are seven
shafts on the property, the deepest
being Nos. l, 2 and 8, which are 365
feet, 100 feet and 70 feet respectively.
At the 265-foot level the vein carries
sulphides. The veins are strong and
and vary in width, in
many places being six to eight feet
wide. Starting on the 100-foot level
in No. 1 shaft, a winze was sunk on
the vein for 80 feet in depth, and sam
pies taken at regular intervals down
this winze gave assays of $62 in gold
ped ton, 1920 in gold per ton, $72 In
gold per ton, 500 in gold per ton, $50
in gold per ton and $40 in gold per
ton respectively, or an average or
over SIT in gold per ton. Assays taken
from the No shaft at 265-foot level,
show values of $40 and SLIP in gold per
ton. There is a large quantity of ore
sacked and ready for shipment on the
and this ore, as shown by
the assays, has an average value of
$126.54 in gold per ton. At one point
in the ledge in the 80-foot winze, the
ore assayed 5000 in gold per ton.

Special to The Herald.
CRESCENT, New, Nav 19.-Crescent
will soon be a name to conjure with
among the producing camps in the
state of Nevada owing to the recent
strikes on the Chester-Atkins, Golden
Crescent, Ajax-Bullfrog and Tiger
properties. At the present time there
are seven shipping properties in the
camp and this number is being added
to steadily until now the ore production
Of Crescent is assuming proportions to
command respect.
Superintendent H. H. B. Warburton
reported that he has encountered some
exceedingly rich ore in the drift at the
150-foot level of the AjaxBullfrog The
shaft is being sunk on the vein at
pitch of about 65 degrees, and at this
level the whole shaft is in ore. Drifts
were started and in the east drift the
men got into bonanza ore. The silver
values that were so pronounced on the
surface are diminishing, while the gold
is increasing. The vein also shows
high percentage of copper and galena.
At water level preparations will be
made for blocking out ore reserves and
stopping will commence. High-grade
rock is being shipped, while the low
grade is being stored on the dump for
the mill which is to be erected in the
ton, the railroad point six miles away.
Active development on the Search
| light Gold Extraction has been resumed
| by Superintendent e. G. Woodwork
on the scene of the recent strike on the
Jumbo claim. Surface trenching has
opened three feet of gold and silver
bearing ore averaging SIS per ton. A
prospect shaft is being sunk on the
vein at this place to ascertain the
value of this find.
During the absence of superintendent
A. j. Waddleton Assistant Superintend
ent E. G. Woodwork is in charge of
the work on the Golden Crescent. A
winze was started in the Syndicate
tunnel about 250 feet from the portal,
where the vein faulted, and is now
again in solid formation. A peculiar
thing about the Crescent district is the
almost total absence of pronounced
faults. After passing the fault plane
the ore body has widened and carries
much better values.
The present shaft is being continued
to the 400-foot level on the Big Tiger.
The management is very reticent about
the strike made in the crosscut at the
250-foot level. Pending the return of
General Manager James Sword moth
ing definite can be obtained as to the
amount of ore struck in the crosscut.
Superintendent Stanish has COM
menced sacking ore on the Maumee
claim of the Nevada Crescent Mines
company. This property is the west ex-
tension of the Double Standard, and
the rich ore was encountered at depth
of fifteen feet in the present working
shaft The vein averages three feet in
width, with about eighteen inches Of
high grade running as high as $256 per
ton in gold.
The work of sacking ore still con-
tinues on the C. & c. under the super
vision of Henry Chester. The richest
ore ever found in Crescent was struck
on this property. There are twelve
tons sacked that will run into fancy
figures A narrow streak next to the
hanging wall is worth So per pound.

ALUMINIUM FOUND

Area of Over 1000 Acres-Deposit of
Immense Value-ResuIt of Re-
peated Assays-Lowest
$72 Ton

The latest mineral discovery. and one
which places Searchlight in the fold Of
other than gold producing centers, is
the discovery by Messrs. r. P. Hall and
F. L. Madison of an enormous alumni
mum deposit nine miles to the south
west of Searchlight. The extent of this
deposit is almost beyond measurement
but sufficient bauxite is in sight to sup
ply the Pacific coast with aluminium
for many years to come. This monster
deposit, says the Searchlight News.
lies exposed on the surface in two
FORMS red and white bauxite, which is
the only form of economically treated
aluminium ore.
1t is possible in this new lind to
quarry the ore, and by the use of steam
shovels land the product on cars ready
for shipment, the Santa Fe railroad
passing practically tn ough the miner
allied zone.
The area located by the .disooverers
is 1000 acres, and there are still claims
to be had. The formation lies in a
blanket, and the first eruption shows a
high percentage of silica, almost pure
glass. The second eruption produced
reddish brown, porous bauxite, Whlle
the third and latest eruption shows
white bauxite or silica.
Assays from this bacxite resulted in
73 per cent silica, per cent lime, l per
cent iron and alumina (al. 0-3). This
sample was far below the average and
others taken of the more highly miner
allied material assays as high as Is
per cent aluminium. Thus the lowest
assay ran $72 per ton. Compared with
ores of a similar nature, much of the
product will run go to 20 per cent al
0-3.
AS yet no extended examination has
been made of the find to determine in
Just what strata the preponderance
of values lies, but sufficient has been
accomplished to show that with the
cheapness of production, freight and
other charges, coupled with reduction
works under the same management as
the mine, aluminium can be produced
at a great profit.

CONE TO INSPECT
SC0TTY'S BIG MINE
Walter Is on the Way to His Bonanza,
Accompanied by Capitalists,
Who Agree to Buy His
Property

In a recent issue Frank Mannix in
his Bullfrog Miner says that "Mysteri-
Gus" Walter Scott has been brought to
a showdown on his mining proposition.
"Scotty" came to Rhyolite and met an
old friend of his by the name of j..
Jones, contractor on the Shoshone,
who made him an offer. Louis Schloss
OF Goldfield and San Francisco was in
the city, and Jones took him in on the
deal. Schloss is a well known mining
man throughout Nevada. The next day
Scotty "ditched" his wife, put her on
the train bound for the east, and,
climbing up on his high seat, with his
brace of six-shooters and his Winches-
ter, and with Jones on the seat beside
him, took the trail for Death valley.
Where he was going and how long he
would be on the road he would not say.
The outfit consisted of five mules and
a heavy blackboard, well loaded with
sacks and boxes. The plan was to get
samples and make maps of "Scotty's
mine, and, if the property proved to
be as represented, Jones and Schloss
were to take it over and pay Scotty's
price.
This incident bids fair to clear ap
the mystery of death Valley Scotty''
and his mine.
