LEASES.
(speclakto the Bonanza. J

NAC
HART, Cal, April 21.-After
three months active development
work in the Hart district conditions
here have been constantly improy-
ing, and today the camp has every
promise of becoming one of the most
prosperous in the West. New strikes
are made daily in the thirty-four
leases and mining companies operas
ing in the district. Several large
companies have begun work on ali
extensive scale. The new hoist for
the Quartette shaft was installed thu
first of the week, and the shaft is
going down in record time with three
shifts at work.
The quartz mill for the Big Chief
Company is now on the ground, and
its erection is being rushed to COM
p~letion. The Quartette company will
also build a mill as soon as water is
developed IN their property.
The Big Chief lease is working IN
four feet of $50 ore in its shaft,
while a blind lead was uncovered in
the tunnel which is being driven from
the west side of the mountain on is
~leasehold. The vein is two feet il.
width, and is of a good milling
grade. The upper tunnel is in 1870
feet and the ledge is now being cut,
the values being around $40 at the
present stage of development.
The Sloan lease is working in 80
feet of ore, a portion of which aver
ages $50 per ton. Nearly three hun
dred sacks of high grade is now piled
on the dump, and the lessee is pre-
pairing to make a shipment.
After Prosecuting three feet from
the 50-foot shaft. which was sunk
80 feet from the mouth of the tun-
mel, the lessees on Piute Belle No. /
broke into four feet of good milling
ore, averaging $25 per ton. The
entire face of the drift pans colors
IN inch long. Andrews G. Marsh are
the lessees of this block.
j. D. Goodwin has made a rich
strike on the Sunrise. At a depth
of so feet a erosscut was run last
week, and last Sunday five feet of
$50 ore was showing in the face.
The Sunrise is located a mile and a
half from camp, which widens the
district in a northwesterly direction
for the distance above stated.
The Hart Consolidated Mining
Company will begin operations next
week. The company owns the north
ern extension of the Orc Belle grouo,
where Hart and Hit made their ofig
inal strike. The tunnel on the Ora
Belle No. ] has reached a distance
of 12o feet.

Last evening Mr.. Belched was af-
forded an opportunity Of visiting a
property in Tonopah in which he is
Interested. In company with Super

Unused when they returned to the

"To say that I'm pleased with the
showing in that mine would be put
ting it mildly" said Mr.. Belcher.
eThe amount of stopping and devei-
opment gives me the idea that the
property is being worked in a thor
oughly practical manner"
Mr.. Belcher has just come from
Goldheld, where he and three asso.
ciates have made arrangements to
do an extensive amount of develop
