Placer Chieftain
August Cordes, who is sinking =
.,.ft on the Placer C~hieftain, which
zoe formerly known as the Crandall
claim. is making good progress.
This claim was recently relocated by
", cordes and w. T. Mattly for the
,..sou. they say, that the necessary
.nount of work to hold it was not
done.
However that may be, the now Placer
~ch;eftaiu certainly seems to be making
,ood its name. The shaft has now been
mnk to a depth of 80 feet and it is
kuuh
sill going through the loose wash.
Blaisdell-P aulsen
The search for ore continues un-
,bated on the Antelope property and
to,b leasers are meeting with encour-
a%gement.
In the Blaisdell- Paulsen lease the
,s;, incline shaft is down 200 feet.
Stopping is being done at the 15o-foot
brel and the ore that is being thrown
the dump shows, in the pan, as near
" as can be judged, a value of between
rs to $50 to the ton.
The new incline which is being sunk
II the Round Mountain Antelope Leas-
no D showed its grst indica-
lions of carrying values on Thursday,
when superintendent Llewellyn got
some exceedingly good prospects in the
pan.
The ledge which was at
the surface is about three feet WIDE
and lies very fiat. For the first fifteen
feet that it was followed it prospectei
50 indiferently that all the extraction
from the incline vas put on the waste
dump. As just stated, the values be-
an to appear on Thursday and 1T is
confidently expected that the progress
Of work will show improved conditions
from now on.
In the original incline of this lease,
the men are still stopping out the ore
near the surface and all of this shows
milling value in the neighborhood OF
$50 to the ton.
Rogers Round Mountain
/. M. Williams, who, IS stated in last
weeks issue of the Nugget has secured
two years lease ON the Rogers Round
Mountain Mining company began work
on schedule time during the week.
A shaft was started on Tuesday In
Inc draw between Round Mountain and
Stebbins hill about two hundred feet
below the Shuppy-Myles lease.
Mr.. Williams is assured of $lO,o0o
with which to carry on his operations
50 that the Williams lease may DC
looked upon as another factor which
will go far toward opening up the
north slope of Round Mountain.
According to the terms of the lease
500 feet of vertical depth is required
10 be attained so that the possibilities
Of striking any one or more of the
numerous ledge systems which cu'
through the mountain seem exceedingly
good.
Three men are at work with a wind
lass at the present time and as soon a.
sulhelent depth is attained, a hoist ant
sallows frame will be installed at once
without resorting to the intermediary
Of a whim.
Like the leasers on the Black Hawk
mr. Williams believes in going deeI
