RAWHIDE BEATS ALL
PREVIOUS RECORDS

Rawhide has certainly surpasse
all previous records this week for
mining, whether it be the record of
Rawhide, itself, or that of any other
camp in the world. A world Of ore
has been opened up at depth, and If
the strikes which have been made,
1t is difficult to say which is the most
important.
The Grutt Hill Mint, should it
continue its showing as it has for the
past week, will distance the famous
Mohawk, the greatest gold mine in
the world. Rot" our friends, the
knockers, will say. All that we
have to say to the doubling
Thomases is, to go and look for
themselves. They have gone down
thirty-fve feet in the Mint, from
where the rich ore was first en-
countered, and the ore is as rich
IL not richer, than ever. There is q
string OF seams coming into the
shaft, which of themselves, will assay
into the thousands, and there are
besides, four feet of ore that will
average nearly SEQ a ton. Beat this
showing, where? The Grutt Hill
Mint is down to a depth Of las feet.
The Murray lease, at a depth of
200 feet, has opened up a big show
ing of high grade ore. This find was
made on last Wednesday, and has
been getting better and stronger
every day. The entire bottom of the
shaft is in this kind of pre-, and the
ledge for which they have been look.
ing is from ten to fifteen feet away.
The Lillian lease, which adioins the
Murray on the Consolidated, struca
the high grade in a drift at the 100
foot level, and the showing is grow.
ing better and stronger. The Pros.
key lease on Balloon Hill found the
high grade at a depth of fifty feet.
Away down in the southern par
of the camp, they struck a good
strong ledge of low grade ore on the
Alta group, which is owned by some
of the biggest railroad men of Chi
cago and Colorado, proving up thS
liberalization of that much more q
Rawhide's territory, and making tn;
Rawhide Consolidated still a richel
mine. That is a pretty good recort
for a week in Rawhide, and in addi
ton there is one mill more in camp
and there is another on the way

Frank Everett, of the Gold Crown

yesterday, bringing several chunks

values in gold, silver and copper, the
ratio being one-third gold. The ore
is of the same character as that found

NEVADA AS
MILLING STATE

A well informed mining man Of
this city, on returning from Nevada
camps yesterday, voiced a proposition
regarding the camps of the Sage
brush State that will meet with ap-
probation here, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. He has confidence in Neva-
do mines, a confidence bred from in
innate association with men and ar
fairs in the State directly west of
Utah, but that confidence is placed
in the milling possibilities of Nevada
which, so far, have received SO little
attention.
he points out that all the truth of
Nevada has not yet been told. The
world hears of few strikes other thaa
the high-grade ones. A small string
er of thousand dollar ore will occur
more space in the average newspape
OF the land than a t~wenty-foot vein
OF $40 rock. High grade on the sur-
face Is a %consoling thing to have. 1t
creates excitement and big hopes, but
as a rule they are mighty poor div
dend payers. Nevada is full of such
propositions, but 1t is more generous
ly provided with low-grade mines,
which are the real backbone to the
mining industry Of any State.
What Nevada must come to-
states this gentleman, lis the realiz-
alton that the inyea.or does lot want
any more of the spectacular high.
grade surface affairs. He is Willing
and waiting to be convinced Of a
long-term milling proposition with
tonnage behind It. An assay certif-
cate showing SIS or $40 per ton gold
coupled with the word Of a compe.
tent mining engineer as to tonnage
available, goes a longer distance
nowadays than a whole newspaper OF
news about an immensely rich find
and vest pocket editions of the ore it.
self. Nevada will outgrow the e..
element propensity, and when II
buckles down to a milling basis tbs
world eagerly will jump after the
dividends that are certain according
20 all mining history.

A discovery that ranks with the

ing sacked as hoisted for shipmeai.

In point of ruggedness of 70 ma

neg the find is of almost incalculably
Importance. The vein matter is &
dark, bluish-gray quartz showing
very little in the way of free gold,
but giving excellent assay returns.
Il Is hardly conceivable that the vein
will not hold to its present width in
definitely and show a tremendous ose
shoot. 1t is in Just such formations
that the great ore shoots of Goldfe,d
have been found.
The new strike has given a stimL-
lus to mining in the Regent section
Of the district, particularly in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the Gear. The
shaft of the Mckinley lease IS to be
continued down as fast as men and
powder can do the work until a
depth OF 100 feet has been attained,
when extensive lateral work is to be
begun with a view to blocking out d
great tonnage for stopping ground.
Crab samples from the working, rs
large as a coal oil can, have been as
sayed, showing gold and silver c ~
of over 5000 per ton. The
strike is considered one of the big
gest of the northern end of the min

INDIAN DISPLAYS
GOLD SPECIMENS

Cinnibar Jim, q we'll known Pluto
Indian, was in Loveloek the fore part
Of the week and had with him
about twenty pounds of gold speci-
mems which were exceedingly valu-
able. These specimens were from
the Black canyon, near the head of
Star peak, in the Packard mining
district, and located about half a
mile from the Thornton strike IN
that district. Jim peddled his goli
to various t%ownspeople and received
quite a neat sum for it. S. B. Hill
of the Humboldt Supply company
gave him $3.50 for an ounce and a
half of the yellow metal. f. e.
Baker and F. C. Biddleman al4o
bought ome of the gold from the
Indian.
There is a lively dispute over the
claim from which Jim secured the
gold. The high grade is from a
stringer, in a ledge located as above
mentioned, end there are three sep
arate claimants to the ownership VI
the property
The property was first located
about four months ago by a party
whose name could not be learned. A
few days before the location notice
had expired, and the discovery work
not being done, another notice was
posted on the claim by City Engi~
neer Parson of Sacramento, and
four Indians. The Indians had
guided Parson to the strike and he
in turn located them in on the prop
erty. They did not read the first To-
cation notice properly and located
two days before the time was up.
Two days afterward, and when the
claim was open for legitimate loca-
ton, another prospector came upon
the strike and posted his notice. The
Sacramento city engineer and his
Indian partners, hearing of the
mistake they had made, hurriedlv
returned to the scene of the strike
and amended their location to read
properly, but the location Of Miner
No. 2 had already been posted.
Both sides claim the ownership OF
the property. although it would seer
that the man making the location
after the original had expired, is the
one holding the best right to the
property -Lovelock Tribune.
