M. H. Lane, prominent member
of organized labor and delegate to
the Democratic state convention from
the Gold Circle end of Elko county,
who was an ardent supporter of Con-
gresham Bartlett and an enthusiast
tic advocate of the gold merits of
Gold Circle, was a caller at the Boz
nanza office before hts departure. He
expressed his qualification at the sue
cess of the aggressive and fearless
congressman and was full of enthusi-
asm over the very remarkable DEM
onstrations made in the Gold Circle
district, which to the mind of Mr..
Lane will be the zenith mining dis
trict of the west
In a general way Mr.. Lane stated
that development for the past four
months had made some wonderful
showings. That from one end of the
district to the other. comprising a
mineralized area of thirty-five square
miles work had proved a uniform
feature as to geologic conditions and
gold and silver deposits. that the
dyke and assure system throughout
was clear cut and strong and that
invariably gold and silver values
were encountered whenever oxidizet
iron was associated with either the
smoky or light colored quartz and
that this combination was In a re
markable very much In evidences
with the series Of dykes and hssurei
prevailing In Gold Circle.

said Mr. Lane, 1.-THE district has
shown the following facts upon the
following properties:

feet in depth, all of which shows an
average milling ore of $35 per ton,
with cuts and trenches on surface
proving the ore shoot for 400 feet in
length and from three to eighteen
feet wide. On the Spotted Dog a
number of small shafts that are in
high grade values with crosscut
tunnel to approach the enriched lead
in an impregnated porphry average
better than Sc per ton for 1876 feet
The Baby Midday has shaft seventy
two feet deep entirely in a good
grade of milling ore. The Golden
Fissure, with crosscut tunnel and
four-foot lead exposure, returns SIS

an open cut exposing a silicified lead
of twenty-four feet and returning an
