Result of Mil
Run at RdWhide

The run of ore through the Gates
mill at Rawhide that was taken from
the Truett lease, has been completed,
and the result is a gold bar and a
silver brick, valued at $4S2. The run
consisted of fourteen and one-half
tons, SO that the net returns per tol
were 1924.
This has far exceeded the expec-
tations of Mr.. Truett and his associ-
ates, for the ore had been untried,
and the mill was a new n in more
ways than one; and the first run was
nothing more than an experiment for
both the ore and the mill. Allowing
for waste and the amount of stuff
that stuck to the plates, it is a GER
tainty that the ore will run several
dollars higher, but the owners of the
lease are well satisfied with the re-
turns, for there is any amount of the
same kind of work on the dumps, ami
there is, besides, a great deal of ore
that will go into the picture values,
that is now being taken from the
lease.
The Truett lease adjoins the Miller
lease on the Hooligan hill and has
now three shafts in operation, shaft
No. 3 being down twenty-five feet,
with the bottom of the shaft in good
shipping ore, The hoist is in place
at shaft No. /, and a three-drill com
pressor was installed in the same
shaft, where the crosscut is in eight
feet toward the footwall.

RAWHIDE MINERAL ZONE
CONTINUES TO WIDEN

The area of the proved mineral
zone of Rawhide was materially
widened yesterday by the discovery
on the McAIann property, in the
western belt, OF an 1S-inch pay shoot
of ore carrying values ranging from
$500 to $1,000. The find is one OF
the great ones of the camp, and is
Of particular importance because of
the fact that 1t is an entirely new
vein. The lead is three feet between
as clearly defined walls as ever were
disclosed. The gangue is a solii
quartz, with splotches of brittle ami
horn silver and showing occasionally
the presence of gray copper. The
values are principally in the white
metal, with an average Of three AMI
a half ounces of gold to the ton.
The McMann estate is owned by
Messrs. MeMann, Otto and Frank
Steinheimer and Charles Rose. It
Is situated between the Royal and
Royal Coachman on the south and
east and the Steinheimer mine on
the west. The new ledge was en-
countered first in an upraise from
the tunnel, and at a point thirty feet
below the surface. Since first en-.
countered 1t has been disclosed in
the TUNED and sinking is now in
progress. In point of pe~rsistency of
value and regularity of conforma-
ton the ledge is one of the truest
ever opened in the district. The rug.
gedness and solidity OF the quartz
gangue is particularly noticeable.
Mr.. Otto Steinheimer brought 4
hundred or more pounds of the rich
ore to town this morning and ex-
hibited it. "A great deal of interes.

evident richness was generally coin-
mented upon. Mr.. S%teinheimer

strike made by James and Sidney
Thornton of Unionville, and which is
said by those who have inspected the
ore and ledge to be one Of the big
gest and richest discoveries ever
made in the State.
The strike was made recently on
claims which the Thorntons located
last November in the Humboldt
range near the summit, at the head
OF Colorado canyon and about six
miles southeast of Humboldt House.
In prospecting their claims a few
weeks ago they uncovered a big
ledge OF gold bearing quartz, trace
able for several hundred feet, from
which in a number of places they
have taken big chunks of ore which
Is said to fairly glitter with golden
nuggets, Assays of the ore as hig 4
