BIG FIND AT
SEVEN TROUGHS

Wihuja and kindergarten mines,
both leaders and producers, and
about 500 feet from the Mazuma
Hills and Reagan mines, that are
making the record production OF the
district. The opening up Of such an
unusually rich and strong ore body
between the four greatest properties
of the district, is taken to auger great
and important events and develop
ments on the ground in the near fu-
ture,
Much significance is also attached
tc the strike on account of the open
ing up Of such an unusually strong
and compact body of quartz so near
the surface. 1t is a true vein quartz
and the development OF the district
up to date has proved that quartz is
practically a sure sign Of permanent
wealth here. While much gold oc-
ours in spar and tale in the district,
all the permanent ore bodies here are
quartz bodies. The high class ore at
the point OF discovery on the Merger
lease is a compact body OF true
quartz and is regarded locally as the
unfailing evidence that a great mine
is being developed on the Merger
ground.
In the work so far done at the Mer-
ger shaft the ore body has shown
wonderful Improvement and persist
ence. At the surface an inch stringer
of high grade quartz was uncovered,

Magruder range, as well as the pres
of Hornsilver, are much desired by
the Ely smelters. There is no way
of securing these ores except by put
ting in a railroad, therefore a rail-
road is coming sure.
A trial shipment of 100 Tons Of r
was made from the Ubehebe district
from what is known as the Smith
properties, and the ore averaged $40
a ton. That is not pay ore at the
present time, as the wagon haul to
Cuprite is sixty-two miles and
frieghting by this method is expen-
sivc.
John Salesberry, of Tonopah, is
engaged actively working for a rail-
road for Ubehebe. He and his as
socites are largely interested in that
section and are anxious for its de-
velopment. The route from Cuprite
is the easiest, practically the shortest
and the only logical one.
Where such vast interests are tC
deserved and an immense production
of wealth effected, the building O
sixty or seventy miles of railway viii
be accomplished easily. Hence thi
ggreat area filled with varied minera
deposits is likely soon to be opene'
up by the advent of the indispensable
railway.

Judge Lindley of Nevada is out with
a strong denial today that he and his
associates intend to bring suit for an
accounting against the Florence COM

supposed that the story was started
by those who have for some time
been attacking Lockhart and Parker

the management of the property. If
it was a stock jobbing move its effect
