During wednesday. Superintendent
Nels Paulsen broke into a body OF ore
which pans gold freely. This was FOUND
IN the east drift on the 7o-foot level or
the shaft Of the Round Mountain Le-
high Mining and Milling company.
The ledge which was crosscu.' Is
about four and a half feet wide. ABOUT
IS inches OF this pans and 1t is esu-
mated that II will run from fifteen 10
eighteen dollars per ton

tendent Paulsen opening up the prop

secretary George A. Blaisdell has
ha.r exnected in Round Mountain but
n Is said that illness has interfereo
somewhat with his plans. As soon as
he Is able to make the anticipated Visit
n,ans will doubtless be made to carry
on the work on a more extensive scaie.
The property gives excellent indica-
lions that with sufficient development
an ore body may be found which VIII
put II on the list of producers. A ledge
which outcrops has been traced for
three hundred feet on the acreage OF
his company.
The lease on the Combination just
ACQUIRED by Harpending ct al, Will con-
tinue its preliminary work OF SINKING
with the aid of a windlass.
The shaft was started but a few days
ago and as yet has only attained a
depth Of 20 feet, but from the SURFACE
the walls have PANIED free gold. In
one wall there is a small stringer OF
high grade which was found in an out
c~ropping al the surface and was the
factor which determined the leasers to
sink on this particular spot.
The lease is owned and backed by a
~coterie of Kansas men who are prepared
to explore the block they have acquired
which sidelines the property OF the
famous Round Mountain Mining COM
pany.
BY the time they have done SUFFICIENT
development work to begin the extrac-
ton of ore, the custom mill Will be
complete and ready to handle II. At the
present time, the want Of a custom mill
is a serious drawback to the progress

the work at this lease and under ms
management good progress may b
looked for.
Two shifts Of men have been put II
work on the M. & M. lease on the Grea'
Western and the work Of crosscuttint
is progressing apace.
On the 90-foot level the edge ha'
been crosscut and the men are nov
drifting on 1t. About 70 feet OF th'i
work has already Teen done. The lefg'

and pans free god the entire length o

ing.
AS soon as the western boundary OF
the lease is reached on the s0-foot level
a raise will be commenced to connect
with the surface for air.
There are now over 100 tons of ore
on the dump and as soon as the serious
work OF stopping begins. bins will be
built which will necessitate only one
handling of the ore from the mine to
the mill.
Mining men who have been on the
ground believe that Messrs. Mattly and
Maui have a bonanza lease. The storms
which have retarded the erection of the
mills have in turn prevented these leas-
ers from extracting their ore. They are
all ready to do this as soon as they re.
ceive word from the mill that the ore
can be taken care of.
The Solid Gold. one of the leases on
the Daisy ground continues to take out
the wonderfully rich specimens of pic
ture gold at every shift. These rich
seams Of pure gold are now being found
in a harder formation which contains
considerable white quartz and the leas-
ers are pleased with the change in char.
acter of the ore bearing rock. Here
tofore a soft white tale which quickly
crumbled to pieces held the gold.
with the change in the gold bearing
formation has come no change in the
character Of the gold. 1t continues the
same fine wire and flower gold and the
seams vary in width from a quarter of
an inch to several inches.
These seams literally form a network
throughout the works on the 60-foot
level. They are without regularity so
far as their distance one from another
is concerned. A large cigar box full Of
specimens was being prepared by Col.
Johnson to forward to the east.
Aside from the specimen ore. the
progress of the work is disclosing the
fact that there is an abundance of free
milling ore which can be extracted as
soon as milling facilities are available.
This runs from $50 to $40 under assay
and Is the factor which will make the
Solid Gold one Of the bonanza producers
not alone Of the district but of the
state.
Many mining men Who have inspected
both the Daisy and the Fairview prop
critics venture the opinion that the Hill
on which both Of these companies are
located is a mass of gold. The rich
surface showings and the character
istics of the deposits strengthen them
in their belief that both mines will
continue operations to a great depth
The fact hat the Sunnyside mine Of
the Round Mountain Mining company,
which is in the same mineralized belt
Is proving better and richer with depth
would seem to justify this prediction
