sufficient work is done. While a great
many Nevada operators do not believe
in securing patents, yet the men back
of the Columbine company believe this
the best course, and will carry it out in
the quickest time possible.
Development work has already been
started and a shaft is down 80 feet. As.
says of $45 are repeatedly obtained, and
the vein in the shaft will average SIS.
Heavy paintings are also obtained from
the shaft.
The company secured the services of
John G. Huntington, mining engineer,
to make a report on the property and
he reported f%avorably as to the location.
strength of veins and formation. His
recommendation was that trenching be
done near the location shaft on the Key
West lode with the view to locating the
probable crossing of the north and
south, with the east and west veins.
Mr.. Huntington is a mining engineer of
wide experience and has studied the
Seven Troughs district formation thor
oughly. He is now located at Farrell
in the northern end of the district,
where he is practicing his profession.
The fact is. that practically all of the
big mines of the Seven Troughs district
had no better showings at the outset
than the columbine property. The pros
pectors had to trench to open the Fair
view lode after having found the rich
float a short distance below the lead.
The Mamma Hills mine was covered
with six feet of loose soil, and trench
ing had to be done in several places be-
fore locating the vein. On the Reagan
lease the vein was bunchy for the first
hundred feet, after which depth the ore
body was found continuous and the
values had Increased very materially.
In every instance, however, surface in
dieations were present the same as on
the Columbine property, and it is the
firm opinion of mining men who are ac
quainted with the district that where
surface s~howings, such as exist on the
Columbine are had, a mine win result
with development.
The Buekhorn property just to the
west of the columbine property, has Que
of the best showings of any property ii
the camp. Float running 5000 has been
found and ore as high as $500 opened
in two places. The Fairview mine, less
than one mile TO the northwest, is the
famous producer of free gold. Bould-
ers as large as a mans head, one-half of
which are free gold, are taken from this
property. The Golden Treasure prop
erty, lying just to the west, has opened
six inches Of ore which run several

MOUNTAIN CROWN
HAS FULL FORCE

On the first of the month the Noun
tain Crown NJ. & l.. Co., operating on
block 3 of the Rustler fraction, one of
the Consolidated properties, put on the
graveyard shift and will hereafter work
a full force. The shaft, which is double
compartment, is down 42s feet and VIII
be Immediately sunk to the 800 level.
A station has been cut on the 400 at
which point prosecuting will be started
at the same time as on the 5O0-foot
level.
In an interview, r. r. Bailey, man
ager of the lease, said: at was our in
~tention to crosscut as soon as VIC
reached the 400 level, but we find that
we can make much better time by first
sinking our shaft and then working on
both levels at the same time. This Is
due to the large amount of water en-
countered. Heretofore a great deal OF
the time on the morning shift was taken
up in hosting water and we have there
fore put on a third shift. The forma-
ton, and particularly the ledge matter
we have gone through, proves to our
satisfaction that the Florence dyke ex-
tends into the Rustler and goes into
either the Red Hills or the Portland.
We have gone through a strong dyke
and the last 40 feet of the shaft is all
in ledge matter from which we have
taken assays running from so cents t.
$16.4 a ton. We are well satisfied with
the outlook
Mr.. Bailey leaves for New York and

ing company. In connection with the
st. Ives lease at Rawhide it is well to
state that its companion lease on the
st. Ives estate at Goldfeld is also in
ore, thereby offering to holders of st.
Ives Lesaing company shares two OPP
.portunities for profit taking. The st.
Ives lease at Rawhide is in direct line
with the rich ore shoot exposed in
Kearns No. 9 lease workings on tho
Queen, and there is no question but
what the cut now being run out at the
200-foot level will soon reach contact
Herewith. 1t is the consensus of opin.
ion among local mining men that the
shoot will hold its values to a point
well within the confines of the st. Ives
block.
Kearns No. 2
There is no let up in production of
$500 per ton ore from the Kearns No. 2
lease on the Queen, nor in the blocking
out of a reserve of milling ore. About
40 IONS of $500 rock is forwarded to
smelter each week. The reserve of mill
quartz is assuming large proportions as
it is exposed from the 65-foot level to
a depth in excess of 400 feet. No at
tempt is being made to extract a ton
mage of it at the present time as the
management has in view the erection
of a mill. The average grade of the
milling ore is somewhat in excess of $50
the ton. The high grade shoot encoun-
tered at the s65-foot level some months
ago continues to yield a highly aurifer-
Gus content, and to maintain it's orig
inal proportions. 1t is yielding ore hav-
ing a value as high as 5000 the pound,
and is doing so in 25, so and 100 pound
lots. Stored behind bulkhead in the
crosseut at the 65-foot level is better
than 1000 pounds of ore having a value
of from $40 to 5000 per pound.
Kearns No. /
At the Kearns No. l lease on the
estate of the Rawhide Queen Mines
company development is progressing at
this time rather with a view to block
ing out ore than to immediate ship
ment. A small tonnage is, however, 60
ing to smelter from time to time. Il
has an average value of $3.50 gold the
ton. A large reserve of milling quartz
is being established 1T each level, and
is to be reduced at the mill which is to
be built by the Kearns No. 2 lease
people. The average grade of the ore is
about $40 the ton.
The high grade ore shoot recently en-
countered at the Big Four lease on the
estate of the Rawhide Consolidated
Mines company is holding well its
values and proportions, and promises
to place the ~lessees on the sunny side of
easy money street even though the
block never yielded ore other than that
showing in the ledge referred to. As a
matter of fact, however, the holding
was in ore good and plenty for months
before the recent find was made, and in
the sort Of ore that stands for divi-
dends. There is NJ question but what
the leasehold is one of the most valu-
able in the entire district.

Here are the important Manhattan
happenings of the week, as summarized
by the Mail:
The Wild Bill Mining company pur-
chases a 5-stamp mill to be erected on
the company's promising North Man
haitian property.
The Hansen-G itchell bonanza lease
on the Big Chief yesterday started
hauling ore of the Manhattan Milling
company's plant. The cleanup from
this ore is expected to be one of the
richest ever made in the camp Due
to this fact the run viii be watched
with much interest BY those who know
the Big Chief and the character of its
ore.

Colorado people are largely interested
in the Seven Troughs district, and
wherever Colorado mining men go there
is sure to be mineral in good quantities.
as, where mines are concerned, their
Judgment Is of the best. All Colorado
mesh operating there predict the Seven
Troughs district will make a camp equal
to Cripple Creek and perhaps better.
One of the properties owned by Colo
RADIO people is the Seven Troughs Column
bine Mining and Milling company. The
company owns the Key West and Colo
RADIO claims, 80 acres, in the heart of
the producing section of the Seven
Troughs district. The claims lie just
east of the Buckhorn property. They
are less than one mile southeast of the
great Fairview mine of the Seven
Troughs company, and adioin the Boiler
Maker on the south and west.
The formation on this property is the
characteristic breccia cut by rhyolite
and diorite dykes. The veins sometimes
occur as contacts between the rhyolite
and diorite and sometimes cut through
these formations. At other times the
veins are in breceia near the rhyolite
and diorite dykes. At other times the
breccia is silicified and becomes the
vein, being mineralized and carrying
pay values. The dykes have a general
trend of north and south along the
course of the district.
Several distinct veins cross the Key
West and Colorado claims, all giving
large paintings and showing values by
assay. Two veins are particularly
p-rominent-one neal the center of the
Key West claim and one near the west
erly end. Both of these veins rave a
north and south trend with the forma-
tion and will probably be found to be
contact between the rhyolite and black
~porphvry, which is called by some dior
lite and by others diabase. II is in these
north and south veins running with the
formation that the big mines of the dis
triet are found.
/. On the Boiler Maker claim just north
of the Key West and on one of the
main veins running through the Key
West. Phil. s. O'Mara and associates
of Salt Lake City, are working a lease.
They are having much success, as they
have four feet Of ore which averages in
places $40 to $50, besides getting oeca-
sional assays running several hundred
dollars. They are sinking an inclined
shaft on the vein and will prospect to
4 depth Of 100 feet before drifting. The
success of the Boiler Maker property
makes the Columbine all the more valu-
able, as the veins are identical and the
formation continuous from one to the
other.
The title to the property is clear and

Rawhide, New, Sept. again the
rush is on to Rawhide. Of mediocre
proportions at the beginning it is in.
creasing in size as does a ball of snow
as it progresses, until it now threatens
to exceed in magnitude the record
breaking pilgrimage of last spring.
when all roads led to Rawhide, and
10000 people foregathered on the town
site. Auto and stage lines plying be-
tween railway terminal at Schurz, Nina,
Fallon and here are taxed to the limit
of their transportation eapacity-and
then some. All stages and autos arrive
in camp loaded down with passengers
and for the most part depart empty. So
great is the travel inward the managers
of the various auto lines have made re-
quisition for additional machines. In
the interim those now in commission
make three and sometimes four trips
a day to railway terminal, each time
returning well freighted with passen-
gers.
Hotel and lodging house keepers re.
port a constantly increasing business,
and restaurant proprietors state that
they are now catering to double the
number of patrons they were three
weeks ago. There is a marked revival
in all lines of mercantile business, in
none more thar that having to do with
the sale of mining hardware. This in
crease is directly attributable to a
q%uickening of the mining industry.
Never before was the last mentioned
pursued on so comprehensive a scale,
and never before was it so prosperous.
Thirty-one hosting plants are in opera
ton day and night, and FIVE other hoists
are en- route to camp. Nearly every
shipping lease and company working is
employing three shifts of miners; the
result being that capable mine workmen
are in demand. At present the demand
is not, however, in excess of the supply.
Mine development is not confined to
a single, or to two or three favored
sections, but is universal in all portions
OF the district. The lessee is in the
money quite as plentifully in the Regent
section as he is on Hooligan, Balloon
and Grutt hills. There are not as many
of him in the west end of the camp, but
his success is quite as marked there as
elsewhere within the limits of the pay
belt. On Royal Tiger ground he is send
ing ore regularly to stamp and smelter,
the first mentioned having an average
grade of $25 per ton, and the last men
toned an average grade of 1925 the
ton. From the Waiter Boys lease on
the Regent Rector estate he is mining
and shipping $50 per ton ore, and at
the Mckinley lease on the same estate
he is developing a 14-foot body of $s5
the ton ore.

High grade is being mined and
shipped regularly from the Grutt Hill

RAWHIDE EXPERIENCING
ITS SECOND BIG RUSH
of The News.)

p. De Wolf, Special Representative OF II
has now been proved up for a length of
more than 100 feet, being well filed
with auriferous treasure the entire dis
lance. OF equal Importance is the fact
that the shoot has been traced into the
leasehold of the Grutt-H ooligan Hill
company to the northeast. This lease,
formerly known as the Proskey, passed
into possession of the Grutt-H ooligan
Hill company some months ago. OF
late it has been the subject of consid-
cradle controversy between the com
pany management and Mr.. Proskey, the
first mentioned a few days ago securing
an injunction restraining Mr.. Proskey
from working, or otherwise assuming
control of the ground. 1t is the pur-
pose of the company to fight to the last
ditch 70 retain possession of the block.
At the North End
In the north end of the camp mining
energy is being expended to good pur-
pose on the i X l., Rattlesnake, Raw
hide Mining, Bluff, Tarantula and
Queen Bethania estates. With the *
ception of the Tarantula all work is
being performed by lessee. G. s. John
son, general manager of the Tarantula
property, has three shifts at work de-
veloping one of the largest milling
propositions exposed in this, or any
other camp. The main ledge is showing
an average width of IL feet, and is
breaking to an average value of $25
the ton. 1t is the intention; to imme-
diately equip the property with a hoist
ing plant having a lifting capacity from
a depth of 500 feet, and to at once sink
the main working shaft to that depth.
Stations will be cut and drif is be run
out at each 50-foot interval as the shaft
is lowered. The immense area of mill
ing ore on the Tarantula guarantees the
future of the company and ~insures the
paying of dividends from the hour
when the mine is developed at depth.
Milling Ore Abundant
At the Last Chance claim of the
Rawhide Mining company Lessee Nor
rissey is developing a large body of $50
per ton ore, and is holding it in reserve
until such time as the company's mill
ing plant is in commission. 1t is antici-
pated that the product from this lease
alone will be in sufficient tonnage to
supply the plant with from 20 to 80
tons of ore each day. As soon as the
mill is in operation the company man.
agement will begin development work
on the Last Chance. Plans to that end
are already outlined, and include the
sinking of a double-compartment shaft
to great depth, and the thorough cross
cutting of the acreage.
Another source of ore supply for the
Rawhide Mining company S mill will be
the st. Ives lease on the estate OF the
Rawhide Queen Mines company. A vast
tonnage of $25 per ton ore is being
blocked out at the so and 200-foot
levels, all of which will begin to move
to stamp Just as soon as the reduction
plant is completed. A. A. Codd of

CHANCES ARE GOOD.
Committee Representing Big
Company Here Tuesday
In Conference.

Messrs. Carlton. Hodge and Con-
way, the three active officials Of the
Imperial Tobacco Compay, were in
conference here with General Mana
ger Ewing and committee Of the
directors of the Planters Protective
Association, all day Tuesday, Dec. s
looking to the purchase and sale of
something like 100000 pounds of
the 1908 crop Of tobacco and the
establishment of permanent business
relations Of mutual benefit to both
corporations.
On account of the magnitude of
the transaction involved, the i'm
mense amount of money. and the
large territory of different character
Of tobacco, the discussion was pro-
longed many hours, and although no
conclusion was reached, it is under
stood that no conditions presented
themselves which seemed impractic-
able from any point of view. The
meeting was adjourned to get other
types of tobacco from the various
sales places for more thorough I'M
derstanding of comparative grades
by names, which the stemming dis
trict people can understand, they
not being familiar with the grade
names therefore, in use by the associ.
alton for other trade. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Edwin Hodge, the
General Manager of the Imperial
Tobacco Company, viii iii meet Mr..
Ewing, the General Manager of the
association, at different salesplaces
| in the Black Patch as soon as Sam
Piles can be procured and intelligent
ly arranged.
Few people, not thoroughly ia
miliar with the tobacco trade, realize
in the least, the Importance and diff
ficulty in knowing what per cent OF
each character OF tobacco the croI
produces, in order to establish the
grades. For instance, the best OF
the crop is an A, while the worst
may be c. But what was an A las
season, with the good crop of this
will not grade better than a B.
1t is thoroughly understood thai
while the Imperial can use much o.
the tobacco of other sections of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, it can not ge
along without certain amount o.
that grown by association members
and, having gone around the associ
alton tobacco for several years in it
purchases, it has completely exhaust
