IMPORTANT OPERATIONS FOR
SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT

Messrs. Prior & ~Chadbourne. who have
developed the lease to a depth of lao
feet and have exposed rich ore in the
drifts on that level, have retained heavy
interests.
Equipment Arrives
The hosting equipment for the Seven
Troughs Florence Mining & Leasing
company, operating the Harris lease on
the famous property of the Seven
Troughs Mining company near Vernon,
arrived in Lovelock, the nearest rail
road point, Thursday and is now being
hauled to the lease by teams. 1t is ex-
pected hat the equipment will arrive
at the lease by Sunday night and the
work of installing it will begin Monday
morning. The equipment includes a ff-
teen horsepower Foos- Fulton gasoline
hoist, gallows frame, buckets, ears, etc.
Important Strike
What is believed to be an important
strike was made a few days ago by
Messrs. Nickerson. Peterson & Davies
on their Red Top property, a half mile
northwest of Vernon. They have fully
four feet of ore that pans remarkably
Welt clear across, the vein being opened
up n short distance southwest of the
original Red Top shaft.
Shipping Grade Ore
/ What is proving to be the most inn
portant strike in the lower tunnel of the
George & English lease, on the Badger
Hill of the Fine Gold, was made several
days ago. An ore shoot showing as
says up to 1925 per ton average, across
a foot and a half of the vein, has been
quietly followed by the operators until
the shoot has been penetrated for more
than thirty feet where the large aecum-
~ulation of ore on the dump made it inn
possible to conceal the discovery from
the public any longer. Wednesday the
face of the tunnel was in ore as rich as
any that has been found and it is be-
lieved that the shoot will prove to be
the most important one yet developed
on the Fire Gold property.

(From Our Special Correspondent
Tiptop, New, June 11.-Peter Olsen
came into camp Saturday with a sack
of ore showing free gold in profusion,
and estimated to carry $500 to $1,000
per ton. He said it came from his
strike three miles east of Tiptop, and
that the pay body is four feet wide,
two of which feet contain this class of
bonanza formation. Olsen is a recent
arrival, and the territory wherein he
made this discovery has been but little
examined. His announcement directed
more attention to that region, and other
g Strikes are therefore expected from
it very soon. Olsen's success there
scarcely surprised the district, how
ever, because the enthusiastic public
here looks for a succession of sensa
tional disclosures of high grade pros
poets at the surface.
Looks Like Jumbo
Ell Rancho property here promises to
become as favorably known to the
pioneers as did the Jumbo ledge in
Goldfeld four and five years ago in that
camp. There is considerable similarity
in the ores which FL Rancho has sacked
and the much decomposed ores that
came from the Jumbo and which had to
be "~sacked' in tin cans to save the
values to the first ~lessees on the latter.
These kinds of ores coming from Ell
Rancho quickly crumble into dust, are
the richest yet found in Tiptop in large
body, and carry, according to tests upon
which returns have just been received
by President S. M. Sample of the Tip
top Townsite company, an average by
the sack of $221.72 per ton. Manager
Quincy of Ell Rancho had only been
claiming that his sacked ore was worth
about $3.50 per ton. He is getting
ready for a big campaign of develop
ment, on company account, to earn
just how wide the ore body is, and has
already also let the first lease running
for a year on a block 200 by 600 feet on
the ledge. Other applications for leases
are under consideration.
Strikes on Three Claims
Strikes are noted on three claims in
the Huston group this last week, all of
free gold close to the surface, also on
the Crackerjack, owned by Goldfeld

NEW STRIKE
AT GOLCONDA

The Kramer hill properties are still
attracting the attention of the general
public and promise to develop into
mines with large payrolls before long,
writes the correspondent of the Hum
boldt Star.
Since the recent assays, made by Ed
win Delano of the Butts Oswald lease
that went SCI, 300.s0 per ton and the
strike by Cal Heatheote, prospecting
has been carried on more vigorously and
every day prospeetors are bringing IN
rock that pans well in gold.
Mr.. Heathcote's strike goes a great
way toward proving the general opin-
ion that the gold belt of the Gold Run
district extends unbrokenly from
Kramer Hill to Gregg's canyon, but the
discovery was made farther to the west
than where the gold zone was supposed
to 90 through and about on%e-fourth OF
a mile west from the Rock Creek ranch
road where the hills are very low and
unattractive to the prospeetor gener'
ally.
The discovery was made in rather an
accidental manner by Mr.. Heathereote,
as he was not expecting to find a VEN
of ore in that locality, but was coming
home from prospecting higher up in the
mountains to the west and just hap
pened to cross the ledge in coming down
the hill to the wagon road. The ore is
a gray quartz that pans a very good
quality of gold and the belt lies IN a
belt of very fine p%orphyry, which is at
least half a mile wide. Without doubt
this is the extension of the famous
Kramer ledge, as a person standing at
the new discovery is in direct line with
the different workings on the Kramer
ledge and the new vein can be traced
almost to where indications of the
Kramer ledge become extinct.
As soon as the "strike' was reported
quite a number of people went to see
il and make location. As yet the vein
has not been opened up, but as exposed
On the surface is three or four feet wide
and can be traced easily for several
hundred feet.
Preparations are being made by Mr..
Heathcote and others that made loca-
tions to develop their property.
Alex Duncan has uncovered an eight
foot vein on his property near the Ne
vada Central mine. In this big ledge
there are two %stringers of ore that
show values of $123.50 to the ton.

Gigantic company operations are
about to start on the Therien property,
one of the best Nnown of the leading
properties Of the Seven Troughs district
and one of the favorite leasing estates
in the Seven Troughs canyon. This Is
the substance of an announcement made
by the officials of the company a few
days ago, says the Miner.
According to this information, collos-
sal operations by the company will soon
begin well up on the side Of the big
Therien hill, where a double eompart-
ment shaft will be started on the trend
of the kindergarten and Mazuma Hills
vein systems on a block of ground that
has long been reserved from insistent
~lessees for just such a purpose.
Will Sink Deep Shaft
The Mazuma Hills Mining 4 Develop
ment company, operating the Frye
Sandifer lease on the Therien ground,
has decided upon an immediate deep
mining project of great Importance. The
entire hosting plant of the company is
to be moved from its present site to the
glory hole from which lunches of ex-
tremely high grade ore have been taken
from the surface down to the present
depth of twenty to twenty-five feet. A
shaft is to be sunk at least three hun
dred feet before any attempt will be
made to take out ore.
Lease Taken Over
A deal has just been contaminated
whereby Messrs. Gillian & Scott, Min
neapolis capitalists. have secured con
troll of the Prior & ~Chadbourne lease on
the Mazuma Hills estate. For the ac-
QUESTION of this choice block of ground,
the Minneapolis people, it is said, have
paid a good round sum and their imme-
date plans of development are as far
reaching as any in the district. Among
the other Minneapolis people interested
in the deal and was largely instrument
tai in bringing it about is George Lou
don, who is heavily interested in the
famous Harris and Wihuja leases.

GREENWATER LIABLE TO
EXPERIENCE A REVIVAL

A business and mining man of Green
water, who is tarrying in G%oldfeld, is
in receipt of what he believes to be au-
thentic news of a very favorable nature
regarding a property in that camp,
which, if found to be true, will mean
much for the Death Valley region.
1t is reported that the formation has
changed in the Queen No. 2 shaft of
the Greenwater and Death Valley COM
pany's property at a depth of 900 feet
and that the sulphide zone has been
reached at last. Miners employed in
that property are now locating ground
in every direction.

ORIGIN OF ORE DEPOSITS.
BY Etienne A. Ritter, M. E.

(This is an exceedingly useful and interesting book. 1t fills a need
seriously felt by mining men and it will have its place in the vest
pocket of every mining operator. Many a mine superintendent has
been puzzled at times by the behavior of the ore body he was mining
and has felt that a better knowledge of ore deposition would be Of i'm
mense value to him. But he is a busy man, and does not have time to
sit down for long hours and peruse To- large and cumbersome text
book. What he wants is a book like "The Origin of Ore Deposits
with a flexible linen cover, which he IAN put in his coat pocket and
carry everywhere. The book is divided into the following nine chap
tws: 1 Formation of Igneous Rocks. 2. Chemistry and Metalurgy

4 Fissures and Thier Filling; Veins and Shoots. 5. Origin of the

VIGOROUS WAR ON CHOLERA
Manila Authorities Hope to Prevent
Spread of Disease.

Manila, Sept. 23.-The vigorous
campaign for the eradication of chol-
era is believed to be preventing any
eppreciable increase in the spread of
the disease. There Is an average of
about fifty new cases daily. In official
circles it is maintained that there IS
still a possibility that the city may be
ridded of the cholera before the ar
rival of the American battleship fleet.
Governor General Smith stated that
while the time intervening was short
he still had considerable hopes that
Manila will be clean when the fleet
comes.
The campaign instituted by the au-
thorities against the plague proceeds
with increasing vigor. Although the
Filipinos continue to conceal stricken
patients through ignorance and fear
house to house inspection now in
progress is disclosing practically all
the cases. Four chemical engines and
a dozen big street sprinklers are be-
ing used with good effect in a general
disinfecting of all tainted sections

In Lexington. KY, the members of
