Ton, which is more than conservative
would yield gross S27o, o2O; there is
every indication that the ore of this vein
will be much richer. In nv opinion a
mill should be placed on the fiat near
the tunnel on No. and through that
tunnel the ores from the various veins
as they were connected could be deliv-
cred to the mill, thus eliminating, to
great extent, the cost of transportation.
From the river to this point the raise
would be about 500 feet.
The main Cambridge vein, before al
luded to, consists of three claims, Cam
bridge, Cambridge Nos ! and 2. The
Cambridge locations were made some 40
years ago and worked BY the owner and
lessees. The principal work was OH the
Cambridge and consisted of an incline
shaft $50 feet deep with levels at each
100 feet. No water was encountered
and will probably not be to depth of
700 feet Two old-fashioned cars, iron
rail track, old-fashioned horse whim,
old-fasllioned cable and old-fashioned 10
stamp mill standing with bursted NOR
tars, as monument on the Walker
River of the crude and ignorant ways of
that decade The vein is 5 feet wide, be-
tween walls of granite, srnooth-side and
as hard as that material can be made
Levels were run each way about 200 feet
at each 100 feet and the ore all stopped
to the surface; nothing left except, here
and there, pillar of quartz. The ore
was all milled, at the old mill; that the
yield was good is we'll attested, Along
the vein there are numerous openings,
made by lessees, from few feet to 30
feet in depth, as far down as they could
very we'll go without some kind of a
hoist; the ore was all milled. The ma
jority of these old openings are still free
of caving and the vein open for exam
nation An examination of these open
ings reveals the fact that the ore is Still
there; and while it varies at different
points from foot to i feet, shows that
it of high grade milling character.
A detailed statement of each vein ac-
companies this report, showing size, de-
velopment and probabilities, to which |
must refer you: the geology of the coun-
try is granite, porphyry and altered an
desite; the veins being true assures, and
varying in width from | foot to Is feet.

the main Cambridge; has shaft on 1t
10 feet deep with a drift at the bottom
rs feet each way; the vein was II inches
wide at the, surface and IL feet at the
bottom -all milling ore that will run
better than $40 The vein carries more
or less galena; the sulphides are high
grade; free gold is frequently met with
in the vein, especially in the drifts; and
so with all of these veins; they carry
values, and many of them high grade,
Altogether the proposition is worthy
of consideration; and, i'll my opin-
ion, if properly equipped and man
aged, will be a paying one. Inc Gil
mate is as good as to be found Ill Ne
yada; the Winters mild, the air salu-
brious, and in the midst OF the best
farming valley to be found in the state.
