BATTLE MOUNTAIN
Showing UP WELL

When John w. Langley, the well
known mining operator, left this city
a few days ago, he went direct to the
Battle Mountain section Of Nevada's
mineral belt to inspect some interests
he and his associates have in that
belt. Returning by way Of Tonopah
he gave the following account Of that
section which is just now attracting
so much attention;
''The Battle Mountain district,
said he, is looking better than at
any time that | have been there, and
there is more activity in the district
than anywhere else hat have been
or heard of. In the Pedro property,
we have begun the work of develop
ment and will go right along with It.
The values continue to increase all
the time. | have brought some Of the
rock with me, and it looks most en-
couraging. Here are a lot of samples
which will average $50 to the ton,
and here is another lot that will go
about $40 or over. Some of the rock
in the first lot will run as high as
$3.50.
'tAll the ore that | have with me
comes from a depth of 100 feet,
which is the greatest depth to which
we have gone. OF the $50 rock We
have a vein Of five feet, and we have
eight feet of the $40 rock. The ledge
altogether is thirteen feet wide, and
we get some very rich seams in it..
We cannot form any idea Of the ex-
tent of the pay shoot, but we have
gone thus far. 400 feet.
There are any number of prop
critics being worked in the Battle
Mountain district, and there are not
less than twenty which are shipping
ore. Keith and Kearns of Salt Lake
have bought the Lucky Strike. which
is about two miles from our prop
erty. and which Is looking especially
fine. When the location was made
in last September. they had a four
foot vein on the surface, and this
has been gradually widening out as
the depth has increased. On some of
the leases there has been made a
bigger strike than that of the origin

and eighty ounces of silver, and some
