Make Cash Payment of $4,000 and
Assume Control of Silver
lead Proposition

Special to The Herald.
GOLDFIELD, July 5.-One OF the
biggest mining deals in the history of
Southern Nevada that have taken place
for some time was the transaction in
Goldfield, when $40 900 in cash was paid
by j. d. Hubbard, representing himself
and Chicago capitalists, binding bar
gain for the Adams and Miller group
Of ten claims eight miles from Haw-
thorne, on the Bodie road and a lease
on the Silver Kings property
The purchase price, which is only for
control. was $3.50, 900. Adams and Mil
Ter are the well known merchants of
Nina and Hawthorne, and Hubbard
was formerly president of the Com
bination Mining company at Goldfield.
The company taking over the property
which is headed by Hubbard, is known
as the Chicago Development company
The payments range over period of
eighteen months.
The mine is a phenomenal one. The
greatest depth reached is in shaft 200
feet, with crosscuts- and drifts aggre-
eating 400 feet. A large body of silver
and lead ore has been opened upon
which goes $3.50 per ton. Less than two
months ago a we'll known engineer
made an examination of this property,
and in his report stated that the in
dications were good for the opening up
of body of ore, and since that time
this large body has been uncovered.

GOLD-BEARING QUARTZ
IS STRUCK AT OLD CAMP
Twenty-one Mine at Allegheny Is
Scene of Excitement When
Rich Specimens Are
Exhibited
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEVADA CITY, Cal. July 5.-Alle.
ghany the old bonanza camp, has had
another agreeable jolt. Gold bearing
quartz has been struck in the Twenty
one.
Some of the specimens exhibited carry
gold to the value of $4,000 to $4,000 per
ton, but how much there is of it is as
yet an untold quantity, as the Develop
ment has not proceeded much further
since the rich quartz was encountered.
The strike was made in the last shot
that was put In just before 1t was de-
cided to put in much needed air line
for ventilation.
The auriferous quartz was struck in
the adit level at a point 400 feet in
from daylight. 1t is being run from
Kanaka creek, just below the Chips
Flat trail bridge, into the base of tho
ridge, right on the ledge. The tunnel
was originally started many years ago
by the original locators of the mine
and then abandoned. The outcroppings
on the ledge had been mined by the
early day miners for surface pockets,
and according to tradition several thou
sands of dollars recovered with the
pan and rocked. A short time ago
lease and bond was obtained on the
Twenty-one by company of local peo-
pie consisting of c. c. Creary, the
Courtney brothers and Letter Arm
strong.

PALO ALTO MEN BUY
PRECIOUS GEM MINES
Pay $17,5oo for Mesa Grande Proper
ties and viii Start Develop
ment Work Imme-
dlately

One of the biggest sales of gem min
ing property that have been made in
San Diego county for several years has
lust been consummated by ]. M. Mack,
the property in question consisting of
three mines located near Mesa Grande,
and the consideration for their disposal
being 1880.
One of the mines, the Victor, which
is one of the greatest producers OF tour
maline and kunzite in the world, was
owned jointly by Mr.. Mack and Jes-
sop e. Sons of San Diego, while the
other two, the Rincon and Mack &
Bristol, producers of beryl only, were
owned almost entirely by Mr.. Mack,
although Felz Calac had small in
terest in the Rincon mine.
The buyers of the property are e.
]. Moore and r. M. White of Palo Alto,
who, on July Is, will put large force
of men at work on all of the property
and develop it more extensively than 1t
it has ever been before. 1t is asserted
that by the preparations which the new
owners are making for developing the
property San Diego county this year
will probably produce more gems than
it has ever turned out before in its
history.

Special tn The Herald sa
RAWHIDE, July 5.-Every week
sees new shippers coming in and old
ones keeping up with the procession.
A shipment of 175 sacks of ore was
sent down by General Manager Borden
of the Lillian lease Wednesday morn
ing to the Gates mill on the fiat. The
ore is not the high grade that was
opened up in this lease some time ago.
It is expected that the values of the
shipments made Wednesday will not
exceed $50 to the ton. This is the break
of the ledge, which is five feet across.
Another shipment was made last
week by the Truett Thirty-five tons of
ore from the 150-foot level were sent
down, and from the assays secured the
returns should be in the neighborhood
of $55 a ton. The Truett is one of the
constant shippers of the district ana
sets the pace for the others aside
from the Kearns No. /, the No. and
the Stinson on the estate of the Royal
Mining company.
Possibly the Putnam lease on the
Car claim in the northern section
comes a close fourth. Now that the
Miller, which adjoins the Truett, Is to
be classed among the regular shippers,
there will be a decided readjustment
in the estimation of those interested
in the camp as to which shall lead the
second division after the Royal Mines
company lease and the two Kearns
leases, Possibly the Jordan lease will
take the palm away from all. as the
ore here keeps up It's phenomenal val
ues, and there are no streaks. This
property is on the Mascot No. 1,
across the famous Balloon hill from
the Kearns No. 2.

James Ostler, manager of the Noun

into the San Gabriel canyon. For the
past four months mining has taken a
new lease on life, and the canyon bids

A number of old mines have been re-
opened during the winter, with results
which are promising. Among these is
Judge Curtis D. Wilburs ~lacer mine,
which has a tunnel over 200 feet long
through solid bedrock, and having
passed this barrier is now in pay

The Orc Grande property has had
such prospect work done that when
work is resumed in the fall the owners
are confident of good returns. Further
up the canyon men are sluicing the
gravel and finding the yellow metal
daily. and in Coldwater canyon a rich
bar has recently been discovered and
was last week purchased by c. L. Par

IRON DOORS BAR
SHAFT TO LOST NINE
ON ARIZONA DESERT
Fr.cia, to The Herald.


MESA, July Sword has just
reached Mesa through Jack Mcfarland
to the effect that there is a rumor, to
which considerable credence is being
given, that the force of men under
Engineer A. H. Demerick on the build
ing of the transmission line between
here and Roosevelt have discovered an
abandoned mine which bears date of
1884.
The shaft is located in the vicinity
rough portion and almost impossible
place in the mountains between here
and Roosevelt. The men, while pass
ing over this country, ran across a,
shaft which looked dark and ominous,
and there was not a little discussion
over it and 1t was after considerable
courage had peen brought forth be-
fore two of the party ventured down
to a depth of about 100 feet, where they
encountered post set firmly and bear
ing the date of 1884.
This proved interesting, and the men
continued their search on the level and
came across two iron doors, securely
locked, and which precluded all fur
Their possibility of inve stigation.
Rumors, as in all countries adjacent
to or in mining territory, have been
afloat for several years as to rich ore
strikes, but the iron doors under lock
and key add a new phase which
makes it decidedly interesting. Men
in Mesa who lived in the town prior
TO 1884 say that they do not remember
of ever having heard of any mining
operations in the vicinity of, Willow
Springs. Twenty-four years ago there
was much doing in a mining way in
the hills to the east of Mesa. The iron
doors, which would necessarily have
had to come from great distance,
would indicate that there are valuables
of some kind in the dark recesses of
the shaft.
