HAYSEED MINE STRIKES
A GROUP OF FINE CLAIMS

The recent strike on the Hayseed
mine in Lee district has attracted con-
siderable attention to that camp, sit
uated twenty-five miles south of
Rhyolite, in the center of highly
mineralized belt fifteen miles long and
three miles wide.
The district contains such mines as
the Hayseed and the State Line, each
reported to be shipping ore with values
of $1,000 to the ton. The Gold Grotto, in
the same locality, has three feet OF
material at depth of ten feet, which
averages $100, and the Gold Grotto Ex-
tension is now taking out material OF
shipping grade. Other mines In this
district are: Inyo Gold Mining COM
pany's property, with shipping ore bet
ter than 5000; Nevada Hills, with ship
ping ore of $500 value; Lee Bonanza,
shipping ore; Hidden Treasure, with
specimen ore; Burro and Burro Exten-
sion, with quantities of 5000 ore; Swan
hilda Annex, with shipping ore; Honey
suckle and Extension, both with ore
that runs from 5000 to $4,000; Paymal,
with good shipping ore. and the Fro
ducer, with a streak of very high grade
ore These good properties have at
tracted such men as Malcolm Macdon-
aid, Patsy Clark, the Schwab interests
and "Borax" Smith, all of whom are
heavily interested in this camp.

ENTERS CANANEA
Western Copper Company Interests
in Camp of Sonora, Mexico,
Bought by Wealthy
Syndicate

Probably the most important deal IN
Mexico, and certainly in the Cananea
camp of Sonora, since the consolidation
of the Greene with the Cananea Central
and the alliance at that time of Col. w.
C. Greene, Thomas F. Cole and John ID.
Ryan in Cananea operations, was the
taking over recently of the Western
Cananea by Charles M. Schwab and as
sociates.
James T. Wilkie, general manager of
the West Cananea Mining company,
has returned to Mexico from Douglas,
Ariz., and has confirmed the report that
the Schwab interests had closed deal
taking over the mine named and other
copper properties. A new
company is being formed which will
work and develop this property on the
scale of an $8,000,000 gold corporation
under the title of the Cananea Western
Copper.
The deal includes the present West
Cananea properties, or 39S pertenencias,
and in addition to this the new company
will take over the adjoining San Benito
mine. Both of these are considered very
important properties and are in the best
section of the Cananea copper field. II
is understood that Mr.. WillSie will con-
tinue as general manager of the new
company and that the other directors
will be Malcolm Mcdonald, Donald B..

AMONG
BULLFR0G MINES
MONTGOMERY -SHOSHONE is A
WONDER PRODUCER
Ore on the Dump Worth $1,500,000 and
Enough Ore Blocked Out to
Keep Miners Going
for Years y

The famous Montgomery-Sho
gold mine in the Bullfrog district, it is
claimed, will break the sensational
record set by Mohawk at Goldfield.
This great property stands alone as a
wonder producer in southern Nevada.
Since the completion of the spur from
the Las Vegas and Tonopah line to
the mine twenty-four carloads of ore
have been shipped to the Salt Lake
smelters, while at the present time the
men are loading and shipping car
load of ore day. The ore will run
$100 to the ton and is part of the old
Montgomery dump, of which there is
probably 200 more cars waiting to be
shipped. Much of the machinery for
the new mill is on the ground, and 1t
will be. but question of days before
the mill is in operation. Work on the
big triple-compartment shaft has been
pushed to a point far below the 400
| level and a new ledge of rich milling
ore has been struck in the shafts bot
| tom.
Ore Value $3.50 Ton
| The ledge is fifteen feet wide and will
run $430 to the ton across its full
width. Tho Shoshone is one of the best
operated mines in Nevada, for there
are about 100 men working and 500 feet
of shafts have been sunk and 94O0 feet
of tunneling, cross cutting and drifting
have been accomplished. In all there
is more than two miles of underground
| workings on the Shoshone property,
while the ore that is already blocked
out will run we'll into the millions OF
dollars, as the dump itself is estimated
to be worth more than $1,5O0,O00. A
fifty horsepower engine has been set
up on the triple-compartment shaft
and all the hosting from the Polaris Is
made through the main shaft, the ore
being wheeled through a cross-cut tun-
mel that connects the workings. The
Shoshone is the leader Of the big five,
which are the mines that are known
producers of the district. The other
mines of the Bullfrog district are. in
order Of their valuation, the Home
stake, the Goldbar, the Tramps and
the Mayfower, with the Gibraltar and
the National Bank in close pursuit.
The Shoshone has enough ore blocked
out to keep the mill running for years,
and only 400 feet of ground has been
explored.

WHITE ALPS MINE
IN ROSEBUD GROUP
Promise of Rich Surface Showinss
Made Good by DeVelopments-Ali
Mine Owners in District
Enthusiastic

Mining men are manifesting Intense
interest in all properties located IN the
silver-gold Rosebud district in northern
Nevada, where many strong companies
are engaged in energetic development
work with unlimited capital at COM
mand.
The recent splendid showing made in
the Brown Palace, the Dreamland, the
PoWhatan and the Golden Anchor have
aroused much enthusiasm in the dis
trict, and the owners of the White Alps
property, in which the Drs. Shores and
Shores of Los Angeles are largely IN
terested, feel that with the develop
ment work now blocked out and soon to
be finished they will speedily be in pos
session of one Of the most gilt-edged
mines in the entire state.
Mining men of experience agree that
the Rosebud district, so far as develop
ment work has gone, is coming to the
front strong, fulfilling every promise of
the rich surface showing.
1t is claimed that the White Alps
properties will at an early date become
one of the greatest mining properties IN
the state of Nevada.
Recently two representatives of big
smelters that treat large quantities of
sulnhide ores visited Rosebud to in
vestigate the possibilities of the camp
from which to draw supplies of high
Grade silicious ores, and it is understood
bv the Los Angeles stockholders of the
White Alps company that the visitors
were satisfied that the district will inn
mediately become a large factor in the
mining and smelter interest of the great

VALUABLE CLAIMS
SOLD FOR $4,000
GOLDFIELD SYNDICATE IN
CRACKERJACK DISTRICT
Favorable Report Submitted by Ex-
pert Engneer-TunneI Now In
Nearly 800 Feet on Good
Property

The list of large deals in the Crack
erjack district,, San Bernardino county,
has been added to by the sale of the
Blue Bucket and RAMS Horn claims
for $4,000 cash. The owners were
Moore and Tomlinson and the buyers
Goldfield syndicate. The claims lie
northeast of the property of the Crack
erjack Gold Mining company and they
rank among the best in the district. On
the Blue Bucket claim tunnel has
been run eighty feet, opening up
t ree-foot ledge of $500 ore, the values
being in gold and copper. The company
intends, 1t is understood, to sink
shaft on this claim to depth of 600
feet, crosscutting at each 100 feet.
The purchase of these claims was
made after their exhaustive examina-
ton by Engineer Flaherty of Boston,
and Mr.. Flaherty will superintend their
development. This Is the second large
investment made lately in Crackerjack
by Goldfield capitalists, the other be-
ing the acquisition of a large block of
the Crackerjack Gold Mining COM
panys stock by a Goldfield syndicate
headed by Judge S. e. Vermilyea. This
growing confidence in CrackerJack on
the part of Goldfield operators has
naturally a stimulating effect on the
values of that district.
The Crackerjack Gold Mining COM
pany's tunnel is now in nearly 260 feet.
Within the last fifty feet three gold
bearing veins have been cut, the values
ranging from $16 to- $120 per ton. The
expectation is chat within the next
fifty feet the big ledge for which the
veins cut are but feeders will be
encountered. The same company is
sinking shaft on a great iron-capped
dixie that features it's property, and is
now down f1fty-nine feet. Preparations
for sinking this shaft 1000 feet if neces-
sary have been made. Another shaft
that is being sent down on this COM
pany's Solomon claim has encountered
numerous stringers of copper ore with
indications of a big copper ore body
before long. Every sample of this
stringer ore shows free gold.
The Crackerjack Bonanza company
has large quantity of high grade ore
on it's dump and at an early date will
ship at least two carloads.

tai of at least $4,000 per month. Plans
are being drawn for concentrating
plant and mill. The property is de-
veloped by an adit tunnel with two
wines, both of which have divulged
rich ore with every foot of depth. The
upper levels. run by pioneers forty
years ago, can be made to produce an
enormous tonnage of good milling ore,
while there is in sight $4,000 in the old
dump, which gives returns of from $40

Said to Be One Of the Most Valuable
Properties in the Rich BuIfros
Dlstrlct-Work Is
Active

In the wonderfully rich mineral Sec
tions of the famous Bullfrog dlstricl
that have already produced the Mont
gomery- -Shoshone, the Mayfiower and
other valuable mines, are clustered
many other valuable properties that are
to be heard from in the near future IN
a manner that will send thrills of delight
among the owners and stockholders.
The completion of the railroad system
through Nevada uniting all of the more
important mining camps has increased
activity in development work and new
strikes are of almost daily occurrence.
Among the most promising claims in
the Bullfrog district are those owned by
the Blue Ridge Mining company whose
members are chiefly Los Angeles resi-
dents. There are seven claims in the
group located between Rhyol1te ana
Beatty, with the Brock, Goldfeld d
Bullfrog railroad crossing one corner OF
the property, thus affording the best OF
shipping facilities. There are two we'll
defined lodges, and free gold is panned
off the surface. Expert mining en-
gineers report that the Blue Ridge is
one of the most promising properties In
Nevada In the main working shaft the
vein is twenty-four feet wide and shows
ore for the full width, assaying from 50
to 81 to the ton near the surface.
Parallel stringers Of ore assays nearly
5000 to the ton. Preparations are now in
progress to sink the main shaft in the
center of this ore body and begin ship

ORD MOUNTAIN
ENJOYING BOOM
REVIVAL OF CALICO DISTRICT,
NEAR DAGGETT
Heavy Supply of Low Grade Ore Is
Assured-Property Near Rest
ing Springs Sold for
$s5o,ooo

The statement is made by the San
Bernardino Index that quite boom is
now on in the Ord mountain and Cal
leo mining districts, where numerous
prospectors are busily engaged.
Capt. j. B. Osborne, the veteran op-
orator of the desert, who recently sold
his property at Resting Springs for
$350,000, has commenced development
of the Osborne group of twenty-three
claims belonging to him. eight of which
are patented. He has some twenty
men busy and has built one of the
finest wagon roads in California for a
distance of fourteen miles from Dag
gett to the mines, preparatory to put
ting on traction engines to haul ore to
the railroad.
There is considerable talk of a GUS
tom reduction plant at Daggett to
handle the ores of that region. The
Osborne mines, it is said, could fur
nish ienough ore to keep it running
full swing. An immense amount is
now ready for taking out, chiefly cop
per and gold, and although the mass
is probably not very high grade, there
are large quantities that run from 4
to is per cent copper and from $3 to
SIC gold, with punches of very high
grade. The outlook is said to be very
good for one of the largest copper
properties IN TINS region.
Hasson Brothers Active
Hasson brothers of Los Angeles have
purchased a number of good prospects
close to the Osborne properties and
have formed a. company called the Ord
Mountain Gold company 1t has al
ready spent $4,000 and has erected lodg-
ing. boarding and other houses and
sunk its main working SHAFT 100 feet
in good sulphide ore. A good twelve
horsepower western gas engine has
been Installed. The bottom is reported
to be all in ore, the latest assay being
as high as $354.72 in gold.
The Malachite group, adjoining the
Osborne properties, which has long
lain idle, is about to start up again.
DR.. Lenhart of Daggett has pur-
chased a new automobile. He is inter-
ested in the mines around Daggett and
bought the car to make quick trips to
his properties.
is developing his gold claims in the
Calico mountains, where he is opening
up a body of low grade ore said to be
liable to equal the famous Randsburg
mine when fully developed. He has said
little about his work, but ut is UNDER
stood that he has some 5000 feet of
workings.
A few chloriders are at work in the
old Calico district. They seem to be
doing we'll, and If silver goes to IS
cents an ounce there will be a big re-
vival here. The camp produced over
S2O, ,00O 900 before the drop in silver,
and the mines were only scratched.
