the continuation of the same valuable
contact which is yielding high grade
copper returns on Toquima ground.
Where prospected at surface that por-
tion of the fissure crossing the johann
nesburg is the equal In point Of miner
aiization with the outcrop farther to the
south. A permanent camp has been
established at the property and plans
made for thorough development.
BABY 1urH
Excellent progress is being made in
driving the main tunnel on the Baby
Ruth claim. one of the most promising
holdings of the Santa Lola Mining COM
pany. 1t is now in the hin better than
100 feet and shows pronounced miner
alization from portal to breast. The
point sought is contact with the King
Oscar ledge. yet some 500 feet ahead.
When reached prosecuting and drifting
will follow. Aside from the King Oscar,
number of other promising lodges are
to be prospected through medium of
this and a crosscut tunnel.
TIE KING OSCAR
Development of King Oscar acreage is
to be furthered by means of a shaft
which is to be sunk well down into the
permanent pay area before attempt is
made to crosscut and prove up the vein
system. The main ledge is a CONNER
cial grade of mill ore in it's entirety at
surface and could be shipped at hand
some profit were milling facilities at
hand Gold values are improving as
depth is gained. with every likelihood of
their making into pay grade as soon as

Operations are to be facilitated by
means of hoisting plant having lift
| ing capacity from a depth Of 500 feet.
THE SANDSTONE
Arrangements are practically COM
pleted for the development at depth of
| the acreage of the Round Mountain
Sandstorm Gold Mining company, whose
holdings consist of four claims situated
about three quarters of mile north
east of the valuable Fairview estate.
The property is on an air line with the
| Sphinx, Sunnyside, Antelope and Fair
| view claims, and from all appearances
is on the same rich gold bearing contact.
Location work has been followed by
surface prospecting and the latter is to
be followed by the sinking of deep
working shaft and the proving up of the
ledge system.
THE bonanza
Adjoining the acreage of the Sand
storm company on the northeast is that
owned by the Round Mountain Bonanza
Gold Mining company. 1t carries the
continuation of the same contact and
yields promising gold values at surface.
BONANZA COPPER
The shaft on the acreage Of the Bo-
nanza Copper company is down las
feet on it's way to the 200-foot level
where a crosscut is to be run out for
the purpose of tapping a large and well
mineralized fissure which parallels the
well and favorably known Toquims
ledge. This contact can be traced at sur
face almost the entire length of the
companys estate and wherever pros
pected the outcrop has invariably showr
an encouraging per cent of copper ano
very satisfactory gold content Ir
fact, number of really sensational
assay returns in gold have been secured
Z. E. Stuart, one of the best judges
of ore occurrences in the Southern Ne
vada country, referred to in recen
report. to this ledge as peing one O.
the Manhattan Mining district. or in any
of the larger copper belts of the United
States. He expresses the conviction tina
underlying that portion of the Eas
Manhattan section adjacent to the Raj
ston desert will be found one of th'
most valuable copper deposits known t.
the mining public. The acreage of thu
Bonanza Copper company and others il
that locality is covered with coppel
blossom. .a.
! Txn BLUE eH1P
From portal to bresst-a distance Of
6S feet-the tunnel being run on the
Blue Chip property shows heavy miner
alization and returns gold values, by
assay, of Sc the ton. The average Is
located about two miles east of the
Manhattan Consolidated and is on the
same contact, fact that was well dem
onstrated by tracing the outcrop many
months ago. The tunnel is being driver
for the purpose of tapping this contact
at depth of 100 feet and as soon as
the result is attained drift will be
sent out along the strike of the ledge
in search Of pay values in place.
Where opened in the Consolidated
workings this huge fissule is yielding
both shipping and milling grade ores
the general average gold value across
13 feet of vein matter being S66 the
| ton On Blue Chip ground the ledge
outcrop holds quite as high values as on
Consolidated and is fully as well miner
allied.
THE CASH ROCK
| A depth of forty feet has been attained
| in the incline shaft which is following
well defined ledge on the estate of the
Manhattan Cash Rock Mining company.
The shaft is going down on the hang
ing wall and from surface to the pres
ent level is in milling grade ore. A
depth of 100 feet is the objective point
and when reached the ledge is to be
crosscut and drifted on in search of pay
grade ore in place. Two shifts of min
ers are employed.
The Cash Rock acreage adjoins the
Nome. the Nevada and the Giant Mining
companies holdings. and is on the same
contact as the Giant. Where opened
on the last mentioned property the ledge
is yielding high grade gold values and
is generally indicative of making into
large deposit of pay grade in place
once the permanent ore zone is encount-
cred. At surface and nominal depth
gold values are as high on Cash Rock
ground as they were where the ledge
was opened at grassroots on the Giant,
circumstance which is strongly favor
able to like appreciation IN precious
metal grade at depth. The Cash Rock
