IN
RAWHIDE LEASE
FREE GOLD is ALSO FOUND IN
THE ROCK AND VEIN HAS
SEVEN-FooT WIDTH.

RAWHIDE, Sept. 16.-Tellprium
ore in considerable quantities was ON
countered today in cutting the eta
ton at the 200-foot level in the sbase
on the Mint lease on the estate OF tho
Rawhide Coalition Mines companv
Besides the tellurium, the ore shove
a large amount of free gold. Drift
ing both ways from the shaft con-
tinues in the workings on this lease
and the vein in both drifts now has
a width Of about seven feet, and is
producing ten tons daily of ore. about
one-half of which goes into the sacks
for shipment.
On the Grutt Hill Coalition lease
also on the Rawhide Coalition estate
the drifts at the 107-foot level now
show four feet of high-grade shin
ping ore, and the general condition
OF the mine is improving daily. The
rich streak at this level maintains its
values, and a large amount of this
specimen rock is being extracted
every day. Ten tons are being hoist
ed every shift from the 1O7-leyel in
this lease, and fully one-third of this
amount is high-grade shipping ore
A thirty-five ton shipment Is now
ready to be sent forward to the sam
pier by the managers of this lease
and the development work has pro-
eeeded to a point where the manage
ment Is confident that shipments of
high grade ore can be continued for
some time to come.
From the Grutt Mining companv
lease on Coalition ground, where a
sensational strike of high-grade ore
was made last week, a thirty-ton
shipment was started this morning
toward the sampler. and the manage
ment reports that the face of the drift
on the forty-foot level still shows
eighteen inches of extremely high
grade ore, and two feet that will
average around $50 to the ton.
The shaft on the Proskey lease has
reached a depth Of eighty feet. and
the bottom is all in ore that pans
well. This shaft Is expected to cut
the sensational Coalition Mint lease
vein at any time now.
The Truett lease on the Happy
Hooligan claim Of the Coalition es-
tate, continues its regular production
by hosting twenty tons a day from
the drifts and Slopes on the seventy
foot level. This amount Is screened
down to five tons that will assay $50
to the ton, and shipments are being
forwarded regularly TO both the sam
pier and the Watt-Bradford mill. A
thirty-ton shipment is now being as
sembled at Fallon, and will go to the
Captain Davis mill at Dayton this
week.
The new strike on the Lillian lease
on the estate of the Rawhide Consol-
idated Mines company is showing
constant improvement, and with the
installation of the hoist on this prop
erty, another regular shipper will be
added to the already long list of ship
ping properties in the camp.
There were over fifty arrivals by
automobile in Rawhide this morning.
and the camp is filing up rapidly.
With the thrush of people, and the
immense quantities of building ma
terial that are being freighted in
from Fallon and Sehurz, the camp is
taking on again the appearance it
had at the height of the first big
rush in February and March. Over
200 carpenters are now employed In
rebuilding the burned district. New
business houses, Offices, saloons, etc,
are going up like magic, and with
every freighting outnt that arrives in
the camp going back to the railroad
loaded with ore, the camp presents a
scene of hustling activity that 1t has
never known before, as the ore ship
ments were lacking when the first
rush was on in the early part of the
year.
