PROMISING LEAD MINES

Work is to be resumed Immediately
by the Steptoe Lead and Copper com
pany, owner of a promising group OF
properties in the Duck creek district, on
which work was suspended in the sum
mer on account of lack of water near
the camp.
The company is controlled by Gal
lagher Brothers of Ely, who have done
the most of the development work up
to this time, and which has resulted IN
opening up some fine showings of lead,
silver and copper ore. The property is
only about ten miles from the Steptoe
smelter, with a down grade haul all the
way, which is quite an important feat
ure and will allow for the production of
a comparatively low grade ore when de-
velopment has proceeded far enough

The Nevada Mother Lode at Cherry
Creek, one of the early producers of the
state, which under the management of
Mr.. j. w. Walker began a erosscus tun-
mel nearly ten months ago On its prop
critics, is still progressing nicely. At
the present time the tunnel is in $50
feet and the work is progressing stead
ily. and there is little doubt that a
distance of ESQ feet more will open up a
mammoth body of ore. The exceedingly
heavy SHOWS of last winter made it nee
essary to close down the plant of ma
chinery and adopt the old and reliable
method of hand steel, but with the re-
cent experience and excellent oppor-
~tunities for laying in a winters supply
of provisions while the good weather
lasts, the company will keep going full
blast all winter. With the success of
the past the Mother Lode company
should shortly come to the elimination
of it's sanguine hopes. Manager Walker
writes that he has just let n contract
for an additional 800 feet in the tunnel
and that things are moving along nicely
in every way.

NATIONAL SHIPPING ORE

Robert Wilkinson s team arrived yes
terday from National with eight tons
of high grade ore, which was shipped
to the Selby smelter by the First Ma
tional bank, says the Humboldt Star
of Wednesday. The ore consisted of
los sacks from the Walker lease on
the Auto group, twenty four sacks from
Harvey and Arnold's lease and twenty
five sacks from Bradford and com
pany's lease on Charleston hill. 1t is
not known how high the ore will run
in values, but there is no question that
it is one of the richest shipments ever
sent to any smelter. The values in the
Walker lease are known to predominant
in silver, this being the property on
which the original strike was made by
j. l.. Workman at National. The values
in the ore from the Charleston hill
lease predominant largely in gold.
These leases are the ones that have pre-
dueed ore of the sensational specimen
variety and from which a couple of
shipments have been made by express.
The bonanza ore sent out in these ex-
press shipments was valued at $50 per
pound.
