BATTLE MOUNTAIN
IN The LIMELIGHT
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY IMPROVING, SAYS
JOHN LANGLEY.

arrived in the city Thursday from
Battle Mountain, where they had
been supervising the work on the
property of the Pedro Mining and
Milling Company, in which they are
both heavily interested. They were
at the property for ten days, Mr..
Trimble having left here for the dis
trict, and his partner having joined
him there. Mr.. Langley has been
away from here for about two months
during which time he has been in
Salt Lake, Battle Mountain and Los
| Angeles.
THE Battle Mountain district, =
said he. lis looking better than at
any time that l have been there, and
there is more activity in the district
than anywhere else that | have been
or heard Of In the Pedro property,
we have begun the work of develop
ment and will so right along with it
The values continue to increase all
the time. / have brought some of
the rock with me, and it looks most
encouraging Here are a lot of
samples which will average $50 to
the ton, and here is another lot that
will go about $40 or over. Some of
the rock in the first lot will run as
high as $3.50.
! 'All the ore that ! have with me
/ comes from depth of 120 feet,
which is the greatest depth to which
we have gone. OF the $50 rock we
have vein of five feet, and we have
eight feet of the $40 rock. The
ledge altogether, is thirteen feet
wide, and we get some very rich
seams in it. We cannot form any
idea of the extent of the pay shoot,
but we have gone thus far 400 feet.
There are any number of prop
critics being worked in the Battle
Mountain district, and there are not
| less than twenty which are shipping
ore. Keith and Kearns of Salt Lake
have bought the Lucky Strike, which
is about two miles from our proper
ty, and which is looking especially
| fine. When the location was made
in last September, they had a four
foot vein on the surface, and this has
been gradually widening out as the
depth has increased. On one of the
/ leases there has been made a bigger
strike than that of the original ona.
Think of so per cent lead and eighty
ounces of silver, and some gold be-
sides. If this were located in a
district which had. been in the public
eye, what an excitement it would
| produce.
- French syndicate has just pur-
chased three old producers, the
White. the Shiloh and the Trinity.
This was one of the groups of big
producers in the early seventies. 1t
will be incorporated into the Golcon-
da Consolidated Mines Company,
which latter company will build 4
railroad into the property from Co.
conda, circling the entire Battle
Mountain range. There is also COM
plete equipment on hand for smel-
ter to be built at Golconda.
There are a great many other
properties which are being worked
and there are several California peo-
pie in there. The Golden Era group
is owned by C. H. Snow of Napa, and
they are ready to ship, If you will
/ look at the map of Nevada you will
find that Gold Circle, Battle Noun
tain, Austin. Round Mountain, Man
haitian, Tonopah Goldfield and Bull
frog are all in a straight line, run
ming north and south. They are all
in the same mineral belt
Il was in Los Angeles two weeks
ago just before going to Battle Noun
tain. They are calling in the clear
4 ing house certificates, there is plenty
of money in evidence. and the feeling
is much improved. And they think
that there is no place like Nevada.
with all her labor troubles, her
strikes, and the smelters refusing her
ores.
In Salt Lake. the stock exchange.
of which ! used to be a member. IS
doing nice little business. although
the prices of the stocks are low. Salt
Lake capital is largely interested In
/ Ely. Warrington. Seven Troughs.
Rosebud. Fairview. Gold Circle and
1 Battle Mountain. The people do very
little talking OF their investments
but they do work, and that's the
thing that counts. Salt Lake has
had as much to do with the develop
mcnt of Nevada as any other one city
