suits are being obtained from the cam
paign of development that is in pro-
gress all through the district, and that
more interest is being taken right now
than at any time in the past, says the
Salt Lake Herald. A commercial club
with a membership of eighty live men
of the camp, has been formed and one
of the first things done by it has been
to declare that nothing but the truth
about the merits of the district and the
operations of claim owners and COM

MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS
TAKING OUT RICH ORE

A message received yesterday by
Cashier Eugene Howell, of the Tonopah
Banking corporation, from Manhattan
says that Arthur Raycraft, on the
Union No. 9 lease on the Manhattan
Dexter Mining c~ompany's ground has
already taken out within the past few
DAYS $4,000 worth of ore. The strike
has caused a great sensation in the
camp, and everybody is predicting
great things for that place. The prop
erty adjoins the Earl Mining eompany's
ground and was formerly owned by that
company. In the curse of settlement
over the ground that was in litigation,
the Earl Mining company transferred
the ground to the Dexter. The strike
is in the vicinity of leases and claims
where a vast amount of money has been
taken out.-Tcnopah Bonanza.

OPENS UP RICH ROCK

Alexander Walker, superintendent OF
the Eldorado Gold Mines company, op
Grating on Willow Creek, arrived In
town this morning and reports good
progress at the mine. At a depth OF
1870 feet in the No. , shaft the miners
have just broken into a richer grade OF
rock. throughout which is freely found
black copper or tenorite. This is the
best showing that has yet been dcvel-
oped. Traces of copper commenced COM
ing in at the 100-foot and have been
gradually increasing in value up to the
time of this last strike, which promises
to be extremely rich, samples taken Out
since the strike was made running very
high.

A @ SHIPPER

Herb Towers, n of the pioneers OF
this county, has struck it rich at the old
camp of Douglas, west of Nina. He has
been pushing development on a lease
he has there for some time past. Re-
Gently he cut a four-foot ledge which
runs in gold values about 800 to the
ton. A shipment is now being sacked.
A track and car is being placed on the
property and a campaign of aggressive
development will be inaugurated. =

AN L

The old Willard-M Mcdonald mine,
neal Mountain House, has been leased
again, this time by Rawhide mining
men who are preparing to work the
property on an extensive scale. They
expect to begin active operations
within a week and push them rapidly.
Ed Donovan, well known in this city,
recently had a lease on the property
and took out some ore, running it
through the two stamp mill at the place
but he could not get pay stuff, and
threw up the job in disgust.

The work of extracting ore from the
Chollar groupings by the Buffers com
pany was commenced this morning.
The ore is carried through the surface
tunnel in mine cars and dumped into 4
rock breaker recently installed IN the
Chollar dump, and then into railroad
cars standing oil the siding, from where
it is transported to the ore bin at the
tramway. An electric motor supplying
the power for running the railroad ears
from the rock breaker is giving perfect
satisfaction and as soon as the ore bin
is full the tramway will be put in opera

WHALE

The original Blackhorse mine is be
ing worked by the locator and owner,
Thomas Watkins, and reports received
from there state the mine is improving
every day aud that it is exciting great
interest in the district in many quar-
tiers.
The shaft is down thirty-ive feet and
the ore body is from three to five feet
wide, which it is claimed, will run from
900 to $500 in gold to the ton. Wat
kins has taken out about forty tom
from the shaft, and will continue sink
ing to the depth of 100 feet without let
ting up on speed, and expects to demon
strate what he has always claimed, that
the mine will be a veritable whale as q
gold producer.-E Ely Expositor.

FINDS STOCKS AND ORE

A young man named Bender while ex
ploring the old Leopold shaft at Vir
ginia City on Sunday found stock cer
tifcates to the face value of $4,000
beneath a boulder in the shaft. The
certificates were for stock in the Leo
pard mine and issued in the '70s and
signed by George r. Hearst. Bender
continued his Investigations and is said
to have uncovered a three-inch ledge of
high grade and took from it about $3.50
in ore.

AusrrN,s OLD TIME GLORY

Information recently received from
Austin is to the effect that the Old
timer will soon take on all its old-time
glory. A large number OF capitalists
arrived there last week for the purpose
of taking over the mines, which at one
time had the richest average ore In the
United States, the milling and shipping
returns going 1864 per ton. The camp
produced $4O,0OO,O00 from above the
6O0-foot level. FIFTEEN men were put to
work last week cleaning out old tunnel
and shafts, and a large force will soon
be engaged on development work. The
Stokes mill, which had been in operation
but six months when the shutdown
came, will soon again be grinding out
bullion. Ely Mining Record.

STRIKE

Moore & McAuley, of Dolly Warden,
have found their reward for the devel-
opment work they have been doing for
nearly two years in the shaft at the
depth of about ESQ feet, where they
have grade ore from which assays run
up to 20 per cent copper, says the Ely
Expositor.
The shaft has been in a body of low
grade copper ore for the last couple OF
weeks that will average about four per
cent and the owners are quite elated at
the finding of the high grade ore.

SEVEN TROUGHs

Another big strike is reported from
Seven Troughs, this time from the
Wihuia's ground on the Stoker lease of
the Therien estate. High grade has
been uncovered and the owners wei
coined the visiting crowd, for they
want the public to know what they pos
sess. The specimens from the mine are
stated to be literally bespeekled with
flakes of coarse gold.
A large body of ore is being develop
ed on the kindergarten, in which the
values increase with depth. Work be-
gan on Wednesday at this property on
the working shaft of the company, as
it is absolutely necessary to provide
greater facilities for handling the ore.

EARMARKs OF BIG MINE

That another one of the world s big
gold producers will shortly be heard
of in the vicinity of Battle Mountain,
appears certain from the wonderful
showing that is being found on the In
dependence property, which is located
in the Pittsburg district, about sixteen
miles southeast of the town of Battle
Mountain.
Recent prospecting on this ground
has shown some phenomenal values and
new lodges and ore shoots are being
found almost daily.

FIRST oRE

The first ore shipment from Tiptop
camp was recently made from the Hen
dry claim. This ore was recently
struck in this property and shows good
values. This property had been pre-
viously worked under another lease
which had been abandoned. Subse-
quently the lease was taken up by f. n.
Chaffee and associates, who continued
work on the crosscut run by the pre-
vious lessee, and in the second shift
good ore was opened up. This ore is
said to be nearly two feet in width,
averaging about 5000 per ton.

WEALTH OF GRuBsTAKER

A special to the State Journal from
Tiptop says O. +. Willard, financial
hacker of Prospector Magnus Benson,
who came into Tiptop camp a few
weeks ago, has become, for a few dol
lars invested in grub-staking his agent,
part owner in one of the richest strikes
made in this vicinity. Benson found
the ledge about three miles east OF the
and without saying anything
locally at the time, sent samples to Mil
lard. The latter had them fully sam
pied at Los Angeles and writes that the
average values of the samples are $lo1
in gold and So in silver, a total OF $llO.

On the Gold Crown property at Gold
Circle at this time are employed so
men. The shaft and the tunnel have
been connected on the 100-foot level, in

NEW PINE CREEK

The first stamp mill for the Hogue
district will be installed at once. Ma
chinery has been ordered and ground is
now being excavated for the mill site.
This mill will treat ores from the Sun
shine mine and do a general custom
business in this district. A large ton
mage of ore is awaiting a mill, as the
nearest market or sampling works is at
Reno, and a $40 transportation charge
has not been any inducement to the
~prospector to ship any ores.

day, rich galena ore in quantity was
first encountered in the Fraction work
ings. 1t is in the drift working east on

RAwHIDE NEWS

There is a certain similarity about al
the reports from Rawhide in that they
tell of strikes to the right OF them,
strikes before them and in all dirce-
tions, and more to come. The camp has
got over the incubus of an excessive
booming, that came nigh to swapping
it. 1t now seems to be upon a perma-
nent, producing basis and, on the firm
foundation that is thus furnished, a
mining city of just proportions is rap
idly growing.

L PROPERTIES

As learned through a report from Ely
the reduction of ores at the new step
Reduction Works is regarded as
very satisfactory; the ores are from the
Nevada Consolidated and the lumber
land Ely mines. The former is securing
an extraction of from 10 to II per cent
of copper, and the Cumberland-El an
extraction of from 10 to 16 per cent.
The higher extraction from the latter is
stated to be due to the fact that the ore
is of higher grade.

Eastern Nevada is looming up, as is
pointed out in the extracts from news
