near in which the first payment should
be made, the cash was telegraphed to
a banking firm at Golconda, and the
payment promptly met.
The Spotted Dog has a very strong
outcrop. and exceedingly high milling
values have been had at the grass
roots
From the Hazel Grove lease on the
Ripsaw, the vein has been disclosed on
the south on the Banner, and at this
point the same geological conditions

with a well-defned footwall opened up.
Still further south about 1000 feet the
vein is encountered and the same foot.
wall is in evidence which would make
this probably the best-defned gold
vein in the state. Where crosscuttine
has been done the vein is from 10 feet
to $50 feet in width. and the evidence
is now conclusive that the Gold Crown
estate is one Of great merit.
The Water Witch group, which was
taken over by w. r. Grant, w. 8.
Gelder and d. H. MACPHERSON, is being
developed aggressively. These people
are Reno men, and the way in which
they are ina~ugurating work is an
earnest that the vein will be exploited
at depth. The Water Witch has only
a limited amount of development, yet
what has been lone has resulted in
opening up a strong vein, carrying ex'
ceedingly good milling values. This
property has been incorporated under
the name of Gold Circle Mining com
pany, and a force of men is now at
work under the personal supervision OF
Mr.. Macpherson.
All geological conditions would in
dictate that there are not only several
enormous north and south veins but
many east and west veins also trendine
through this district, and this net work
of veins have already been sufficiently
exploited to prove conclusively that
good milling values are at hand. Among
those veins best defined are the Gold
Crown, Banner, st. Paul. Elko Prince
Spotted Dog. Midas, Esmeralda, Colum'
bia group, Last Chance group (Which
is also owned by Reno people, and
number of others the names of which
I cannot now recall.
DISTRICT 25 MILES WIDE
The mineralized area OF Gold Circle
district as at present defined is about
90 miles wide and about 30 miles long
and within this extensive territory
there are at least 20 claims which al
this time have high commercial values
in sight. The formation throughout the
district is a %porphyritic quartz, and
the strong dykes are easily traeeablt
for several thousand feet, continuously
on the surface. and uniformly high
gold values are secured either from
the outcrop or at the grass roots.
Gold Circle district is particularly
fortunate in having ample water fol

attractive camp for extensive opera
lions, and the investor has the positive
assurance of returns on legitimate ex
penditures.

The Sphinx has already one of IN,

the Nugget representative called but
there is enough ore on the dump to
keep the mill going for a considerable
length Of time without extracting any
from the mine.
The mill is a six foot Huntington

ores of the camp and it has a capacity
of forty tons a day. The building has
been constructed with a view to in.

out which runs not less than $3.50 to the

but it is expected that as the main ore

themselves into an average high grade

CIRCLE DEVELOPMENTS

coveries have been made. notably a
find last Saturday morning. The ore
brought in from this discovery showed
enormous amount Of free gold, and i'm
mediately attracted attention to ore
from that par. Of the district, and q
number of real good claims were To-
Gated that afternoon. Heretofore sew
eral promising claims had been located
carrying high gold values but this Inc
ia one Of the vcry.richest ever made in
this region.
Oregon Gulch and Scraper Creek also
report properties with an excellent
showing. and IL seems as IL prospectors
have been more promptly rewarded for
earnest endeavor than in any new dis
trict in Nevada.
EXTENSION OF rUsCARoRA
The network of claims above sug-
pested appears to be in the west exten.
sion Of the famous Dexter lode of
Tuscarora district with n record out
put exceeding $40,00o,0o0. And there
IL every reason to believe that in
trending out this vein from Gold Circle
district in an easterly direction that a
number Of important finds may be an
ticipated. The recent taking over and
reorganization of the old producers Of
Tuscarora district by II. j. Mayham
of New York City is an era in the his
tory of mining in Elko countv. and the
financing of this proposition completes
a giant merger which will at an early
day place in the producing line a prop
%osition Of great merit. In connection
with this property a railroad is to be
built from Elko a distance of so miles
to the old town Of Tuscarora in order
to facilitate the handling of the ores
iudiciously and economically. 1t is a
great scheme, and Mr.. Mayham is en-
titled to all credit for working faith
fully for several years for so desirable
a result.
MIDAS Is GROWING
The town. of Midas is rapidly build
ing up with the very best class of peo-
pie that l have ever seen in a mining
camp; for all of them come in with a
good intent, and have left their ham,
mers behind if they ever had any. II
Is probable there are 200 tents and 25
or 80 frame BUILDINGS and more build
ings would now be up but for the
scarcity of lumber. But the congestion
of building material is now a matter of
the past, and the rapid growth of the
camp is assured. Sufficient pipe is now
on the ground for conveying al ample
water supply into, the town from at
least a dozen fine springs, and this
system will not only be Of great mo-
ment from a domestic standpoint but
will also be a factor in fire protection.
There are at least 1000 people in
the district and rs to 100 more being
daily added to this number.

been effected, promises to become at
the outset one of the most important
companies in the district.
The company started out with four
full claims, admirably located, and
now the announcement is made that il
has purchased, at a consideration of
$4,000, the Pudding Stone claims,
which adjoins the Lemaire group on
the east. A substantial cash payment
was made, and it is more than probable
that no company in the district has
property of greater value than the
Spanish Queen.
Aside from being in the line of
proved naturalization, the company
has concrete evidence of the import
ance of its holdings in two shafts which
have already cut the high grade horn
silver ore, characteristic of the district.
A permanent working shaft will be
started at once, with three shifts work
ing.
McFADDEN STRIKE
The McFadden lease on the property
of the Watt Mining company, 400 feet
south of the main working shaft, shows
a fine ledge carrying high grade silver
cnlOrlues.
This strike came as a surprise to the
old-timers, who had formed a theory
that the rich veins on the Watt prop
erty would not extend much beyond the
discovery hole.
The McFadden strike means that
silver ore will be found clear down t.
the railroad right-of-way.

Journal of recent date. The following
Is the story in brief form:

among them Willard F. Snyder, j. A.
Foley, s. M. Levy, George +. Bush
Louis ID. Gordon, l.. L. Savage, Judge
William II. Dickson, C. f. Luce, and
many others, were the first to enter
the district. But later Reno men,
among then w. r. Grace, w. s. Col.
der and d. II. Macpherson, have large
interests, and United States Senator
Nixon and George Wingfeld are also
actively identified in this section.
GOLD CROWN LEASERS
The Gold Crown group was taken
over by the Salt Lake bunch, and this
very valuable property was imme.
diately surveyed out in blocks and
opened for ~leasers. At this time there
are 26 sets of leasers at work. with
very gratifying results. There were at
least two applications for every block
of this territory.
This property is considered one of
the very best in Gold Circle district
and it is very pleasing to note that the
leasers had hardly commenced work
before very important disclosures were
made, notably on the Hazel Grove lease
where there is a strongly defined weir
at least 20 feet wide, and carrying
general average values of more than
$40 per ton in gold. About four feet
of this vein, lying on the footwall, car
ries the phenomenal value of $500 pei
ton.

The st. Paul is developed by a drift on

values have been secured running from
$35 to as high as s 1000 per ton in gold
with strata of very much higher grad'

There is only one mining camp in the
