SECRET CANYON

The recent discoveries of gold-bear-
ing rock having phenomenal values in
the Secret Canyon section, south of
Eureka, Nevada, will bring back to ac-
tivity a mining district which at one
time was one of the worlds greatest
silver and lead producers. During its
palmy days, from 1871 to 1893, every
ore body found in the immense vein
which traversed the mountains in a
southerly direction, having its begin
ming at Eureka, Nevada, was supposed
to carry only silver and lead values, and
no ~prospector thought Of looking for
gold in that vein. But since the finan-
cial depression of 1898 and the follow
ing demonstration of silver, which
closed all the mines in that section,
prospectors began to hunt for gold, and
have lately been successful in finding
it in the southern portion of the vein.

RICH INNABAR STRIKE

From American canyon comes the re-
port of another rich strike of cinnabar
ore. The outcrop shows ore with a
high percentage of quicksilver for over
thirty feet along the strike. The vein
was uncovered on the property of the
Nevada Almaden Mining company,
which is operating there under the man
agement of w. G. Adamson, and the
strike extends the limit of the zone
where this character Of ore can be OBJ
tanned to a great length.
This new strike of cinnabar ore was
opened some 5000 feet from the other
workings on the property and is the
same vein that traverses the claims.
The new strike makes seven disclosures
of ore covering a distance along the
strike of the ledge for a distance OF
over three thousand feet.-Lovelock
Review.

The proposition of reducing the ores
of Southern Nevada at the lowest pos
sible cost depends upon convenient loca-
ton as to smelling plants, says the
Denver Mining Record. Under present
arrangements, concentrates and high
grade ores go to Utah or Colorado,
principally. Ely is an exception h
concentrating plant and Steptoe smelter
owned by the Guggenheim interests,
give to the Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated the essential local treat
ment that makes for economy. Will
Ely also bid for ores from other campsf
Rumor states that a plan is on foot to
construct railway lines from that camp
to Phoebe, Goldfeld, Tonopah and other
districts. On the other hand, Needles,
California, is taking steps in the right
direction. Its smelling plant, now of
100 IONS daily capacity, is to be en-
larged to 900 tons at an ~expediture OF
about So 00 900. At least, rumor also
makes this statement.
Whether the above quoted gossip is
true or false, it is quite evident that
the question of nearby smelling facil'
tiles and consequent railroad rate saw
ings is a very vital one. The problem
is important to a large number OF
camps.

MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS
" GYPSUM A

Work Of tearing down the gypsum
plant at Empire will be commenced
shortly and the industry will be re-
moved to Mound House and be placed
near the quarry which supplies the
crude material. The output of the mine
has been hauled by team to Empire but
this has proven to be very expensive
and for this reason the reduction plant
will be moved.
When the plant is closed at Empire
the last of the industries of that once
prosperous community will have passed
away and there will be nothing to keep
the town on the map at all. On the
other hand this is the third gypsum
plant to be installed in the vicinity of
Mound House. Appeal.

RATTLE MOUNTAIN STRIKE

PROFESSIONALLY one of the richest
gold strikes ever made in the Battle
Mountain section was made on the
property of the Nevada Hilltop Mining
company in the Pittsburg district last
Monday.
Several weeks ago some exceptionally
rich float was found at a point close to
the end line of the Independent claims
and since that time diligent search has
been made to locate the main ledge
from which the rich rock came.
The searchers were rewarded last
Monday morning when Mat Show and
Martin Christopher, who were doing the
prospecting, came across the ledge
where the picture rock undoubtedly
came from.

LEASE GETS SHIPPING ORE

To the west of the Mazuma Hills
vein 600 feet the Martin and Gourdier
lease on the Mazuma Hills estate, has
encountered Is inches of shipping ore.
Free gold shows in the rock. The leas-
ers had been drifting in low grade for
some time, but this was the first ap-
pearance of a real ore shoot. 1t is an
especially significant find, as it widens
the ore zone to the west. The lease is
owned by eight well known residents
of the district. An assay from an out
crop recently taken by John C~leghorn
his lease on the Signal Peak across
a width Of Is inches gave an average
of 1853 ounces in silver and $32 in gold.

FINDS RICH POCKET

A prospector, who would not divulge
his name to the writer was in Gardner
vile last Tuesday and exhibited some
of the richest ore ever seen here. He
claimed he took the rich stuff from a
pocket in a mine near the old Zirn
mine, but further than that would say
nothing where he has been quietly
working for some time. He did not say
that he had a ledge, because if he had
he would own the richest mine in Ne
vada. He exhibited the rock to several
about town and then disappeared as
