TREASURE
HOUSE
u H. SUTHERLAND, MANAGER
OF THE GRUTT HILL COALI-
TION, IN ToNOPAH.

General Manager and President
n. Sutherland of the famous Grutt
HDl Coalition lease at Rawhide, ar
rived is this city Wednesday and will
leave this morning for the great Ne
yada camp. Mr.. Sutherland is a
miner of experience, he having oper-
ated in Cobalt and many other OF the
great camps of the world.
"In my opinion Rawhide will be
the most phenomenal camp the world
has ever known" said Mr.. Suther-
land last evening. Think of the
knocking, the damaging stories sent
ont in an attempt to discredit the
camp and a panic on in the country
when It was impossible to obtain
money in any quarter of the United
states, yet today you will find a
camp that is shipping ore, has
twenty-seven hoists in operation and
twenty-one more ordered and en-
route from different mining machin-
cry concerns. Her weekly shipments
of ore reach $50 tons, with a value
OF $4,000. The Kearns shaft has
reached a depth of 400 feet and they
are rushing work to a depth of 700
feet. On the Jordan lease of the
Queen Mascot Mining company ten
tons went forward to Hazen which
gave returns of $3.50 a ton. There
we're besides 1900 pounds of high
grade which went approximately
$40 a pound, On this lease they
are down forty-four feet and have a
vein over four feet wide. They have
Installed a 25-horse power gasoline
engine and will sink to a depth of
1870 feet and then start the work of
developing the rich vein. The ore is
permanent and OF a grade far in ex-
cess Of anything there or In any
other camp. This company at the
present time has the largest pay roll
Of any single property In the district
and miners are being added as fast
as they can use them.
The Grutt Hill Coalition, of
which | am the manager. is a close
corporation. Charles Gates. son OF
John w. Gates. offered $50, 900 IN
cold lash for the lease which we are
now operating, and was turned down
Myself and associates were fortunate
enough TO secure II and we shall
never regret the purchase. Al
depth OF thirty-hve feet we took on
enough rich ore to make a nice ship
ment When the high grade passed
out of the shaft we sank to LOG feet
where we encountered the Grutt Hill
Mint vein. A 1t0-pound sack of or
netted us $3495 or $31.70 per pound
The company has been quietly de
yeloping and getting near to the bul
lion streak each day for the pas
week. For four feet before comini
into this almost pure of gold
the ore has been rich beyond all eS
pectatIons. Further development
opened the vein to a width of tire
feet before the rich seam was en-
countered. AS | said before, ! hav
been in the mining business all m
life, but the sight of this glitterin
mass is beyond description. tn
seam is two inches wide and show
the metal from the back to the bo'
tom. Specific gravity tests show
that the seam is SO per cent metal
gold-that packs a trace of silv'
only. The ore Is being taken out an
shipped direct to the mint at Sa
Francisco. The hoist for our pro-
erty arrived there yesterday and Il
stallation will be begun at once.

tons, which will average 500 to Il
