MOUNTAIN VIEW
IS SHOWING WELL
NEW GOLD CAMP ATTRACTS THE
ATTENTION OF MINING
PUBLIC

Mountain View, the new gold camp
which is attracting the attention II
the mining public and which is grow
ing at the rate of ten buildings per
day. lies about ten miles westerly
Of Schurz, and about four miles
southwesterly of Coma, which is the
nearest railroad station. Most of thu
mining of the district is being done
by leasers. There are about twenty
five leasers working On the principal
properties known as the Wilson gol |
mines, Big Twenty, Golden Age, Red
Grow, Shirley c., Buzz Saw and Mo-
doc. All of these leases show values
ranging from SO to $1,000 per ton.
The latest sensation of the district
has been made by Mr.. J.. r. Ryan,
Of %well-boring fame, who, in boring
for water, encountered a ledge four
feet wide at a depth of 100 feet OF
high-grade sulphide ore. Five dis
tinct parallel veins are being worked
on in the district, one of which out
crops for a distance of 5000 feet, be-
ginning at the extreme west end oil
the vein. The Wilson Gold Mines
company is sacking ore that will av'
erage about 500 per ton. The com
pany has reserved about 1000 fee
along the vein, the rest of which il

the main lead at a depth of 100 feet

and have also encountered specimen
streaks. The Solid Gold lease has
closed a deal with the company

lease has over 100000 worth of ore
on the dump awaiting treatment by
the new mill, which will be ready il
ninety days.

Tonopah Men Interested

Ed Templln, who is associated with
W. J. Douglas and John j. Mullin of
Tonopah, has been in town for the
past few days arranging to leave for
Boyd basin, where he has a number
of claims. Mr.. Templin was one of
the lucky ones, and shortly after
Lane & Bryan made their famous
strike he secured the ~southerly ex-
tension of their Moon Anchor group
OF claims, situated in the richest por-
ton of the gold belt. The claims To-
Gated by Mr.. Templin are among the
best in the camp, showing outcrops
of rich gold ore. Messrs. Douglas &
Mullin will arrive from Tonopah In

STAMPEDE TO THE DIAMOND
QUEEN SECTION is NOW ON

It is beginning to look like the
leasers on the Diamond Queen are
going to start a stampede in that di-
rection, whether it is their intention
or not.
Six feet of ore which will average
between $500 and $500, is the lat
est news from the property. This
is on the Biddlecome-Culver lease.
The drift following the rich body is
in 100 feet and the present faee
shows six feet of the high-grade. A
boulder was encountered in the driSt
and the boulder was h~igh-grade, to-.
1t weighed 800 pou=os, and is worth
5000.
The rich ore on the lease is attract

leases were let this week, and the
l~easers are all starting work. ]. Il.

GUGGENHEIMS ARE BUYING
PURCHASING MORE MINES

1t appears that copper producers
are settling down to 13-cent copper
and that only the big mines that can
and reduce their ore on a cheap
basis will be able to survive-at least
shelters are built in close prox-
unity to the mines and a part of the
cost of reduction be charged off to
the value of the ores for fluxing pur-
poses.
Copper blast furnaces are not cost
" in construction or operation, and
it will appear that Nevada, with its
big deposits of the red metal at Ely
and Yerington, would eventually be
equipped with its w shelters.
OF the copper situation the Mining
World says;

TIME is EXTENDED THE
WEST END COMPANY

In the application Of the West End
Mining company for a continuance of
the time of commencement of the
of the case Of the West End Min
ing company against the Mcnamara
Mining company, Judge Langan in
the district court made an order that
the time be continued until the third
day of August, 1908. The affidavl's
of the witnesses on behalf of the Nc
Namara company disclosed that the
vein has been traced and identified
for a distance of 1880 feet, in an
east and west direction, in the
ground of the West End mine. The
West End Mining company asked the
court for sufficient time TO continue
this admitted vein through the END
line, a distance of $50 feet further.
BY the affidavits of the West End
company, not disputed, the plaintiff
company was running their drift
westerly in a strong vein of very rich
ore, with every indication that tbs
ore body would continue through thC
end line.
The Mcnamara company asked foi
q dissolution of the injunction, IL
case the continuance was granted
and urged its desperate financial con
dition as a reason.
This condition is described by th'
president. Joseph l., Joseph, in tn,
following language:
