WELLINGTON MAKES NOISE
LIKE MINING CAMP

About six miles up Hoye canyon the
Nevada & Eastern Gold Mining COM
pany with main Offices in the Old Col
ony building, Chicago, owns a group of
claims with lodges carrying gold and
silver values, which, in shoots, runs $35
and higher to the ton. There is an
abundance of from $l2 to SIS gold and
silver ore. One tunnel is in 800 feet
and a erosseut is being driven to cut the
lodges at considerable depth. Nego-
t~iations are pending for the construe-
tion of a 4-stamp Missen mill. r. b.
Heaston is superintendent.
Not far from Wellington ranch a 4
foot ledge carrying gold and silver
values of $50 to the ton was discovered
about three months < and located.
The ledge can be traced for over 5000
feet. The ore carries quite a percent
age of galena. The formation is blue
lime and porphyry. w. +. Reading, of
Wellington, is interested in the prop
erty.
Near the head of Hove canyon. W. +.
Reading and A. w. Camden have a
group Of claims under development by

-Four miles east of this, Fallon and
Kimmel own a property being devel
oped by a 4O0-foot tunnel, which has
disclosed a large body of lead and zinc
ore. On surface values are 90 per cent
while in the breast of the tunnel 35 pc,

The ledge is 4 feet wide between por
phyry and granite. Sinking shaft and
drifting are going on. Se~venty-three
sacks were recently shipped to Salt
Lake that gave a net return OF $50 70

In this district, known as Red Can
yon, organized in 1878, the Starlight
Mining company of Salt Lake owns IS
mining claims. This property is being
developed into a great proposition. Its
lodges are Az feet in width; contact,

values in much of the ore said to aver
age 5 ounces gold and 5 ounces silver

BelmonS

The report from the Belmont COM
pany this week shows a total of 19l
feet of new ground broken. This work
has all been done in opening up the ore
bodies or prospecting for new veins,
and is being carried on on the 700, 800,
900 and 1,000-foot levels. BY far the
most important prospecting work 60
ing on is being done to the north of the
Mizpah fault on the 1,000-foot level,
about 1900 feet east of the shaft. The
main east crosscut, which is now being
run in a northerly direction, is nearly
200 feet north of this famous fault, and
while they have not yet found any
large ore bodies, they have encountered
many stringers, the larger ones carry
ing from fair to high grade values. The
formation found thus far north of the
fault is very solid and shows no signs
of a break, thus leading the manage
ment to believe that if an ore body is
discovered they will have little trouble
following it. The crosscut will be con-
tinued through this section of the coun
try and every endeavor made to find
the ore. This work is being watched
very closely, as it means a great deal
to the mine itself and the district in
general. In several parts of the mine
important work is being carried on, and
thus far the management has met with
success.

CAMP OF LEADVlLE

Salt Lake Herald: J. p. Turner is
home for two or three days from a new
lead.silver camp, located about %
miles southwest of Nina, in Esmeraida
county, Nevada, which he believes Is
going to develop into another Lead
vile. At any rate, its characteristics
are so similar that it has been decided
by the miners in there who know the
Colorado camp so well to christen II
Leadville, and Mr.. Turner is SATISFIED
the name will stick.
In partnership with a Tonopah opera
tor or two, Mr.. Turner reports that a
bond and lease have been secured on a
property that has a splendid ore show
ing, and his mission here now is to Try
and make a contract with one of the
Utah shelters to handle the ore 1t is
proposed to begin shipping as Don as
the road between the mine and the line
of the Nevada & California railroad,
formerly the Carson & Colorado, has
been placed in shape for hauling the
five miles between the mine and load
ing station.
Il do not know just how the ore IS
going to average said Mr.. Turner,
~"until the samples | have at the as
savers are tried out. From the as
saying we have had done it is evident
that the ore will carry from one to one
and a half ounces of silver for each per
cent of lead and from So to $40 in gold,
the gold values appearing to increase III
corresponding ratio as the lead con
tents are higher. The ore IS a carbon
ate and galena, and / think 1T is gong
to ship at 30 to 40 per cent lead, with
silver and gold contents as suggested
We have secured a good rate on the
railroad. a rate that is only about
double that which would have to be
paid on a similar ore from the camp OF
Tintic. Before long we expect to be In
shape to market two carloads a week
and the ore will come here if the smell
ters are inclined to do the right thing;
if not. we will find a market for it else
where
Mr.. Turner says the new camp is one
that is full of opportunities, and he Is
s~anguine it will build up rapidly. The
lime in which the ore makes, he says,
is very similar to that of Tintic, while
the ore itself so closely resembles the
ore that made Leadville famous, that
name has been chosen for the new
camp. There is an abundance of water
three miles from the mines, and fouI
miles away there is lots of pinion pine
The water can be piped in without
trouble and there is wood enough fol
fuel purposes to last a good-sized popu
lation several years.
~ have been around Nevada a good
deal during the past two years OF
more,o said Mr.. Turner, "and l like
this country better than anything l had
seen previous to getting in there. Tht
formation, the lodges, the character OF
the ore, the general surroundings anc
the proximity to railroad t%ransporta
ton makes it at once an ideal place IL
which to mine"

From the Miner.)

The showing at the bottom of the
Corkhill shaft Of the West End mine IS
one seldom seen in any property. In
sinking the shaft to the 400-foot level,
the last 90 feet was all in ore, with the
same rich rock exposed on all sides and
in the bottom. The station which was
cut at the 400-foot point revealed the
same condition Of affairs--ore on both
sides, in the bottom and in the roof.
Since the station has been completed,
drifts have been run east and west, and
are now in about Is feet each. These
drifts are being sent right in the ledge
and the entire work shows nothing but
ore top, bottom, both sides and face OF
both drifts. How large this ore shoot
is can only be determined by further
work, but enough has already been ex-
posed to prove it one of the biggest
discoveries ever made in the district.
The regular work is progressing in
other portions of the mine, which con
sists principally of running raises and
drifts on the 200 and 275-foot levels,
near the north line of the company IS
property, for legal purposes, in order 10

Namara, which is set for August 30
next.
Ore Shipments
The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldfield railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted of 100 tons from the Tonopah
Extension.
The Tonopah company sent $500
tons, the Belmont company 700 tons,
the Montana onopah 1000 tons, the
Midway 100 tons, the MacNamara $50
tons, and the West End 80 to the mills,
making the total shipments for the
week $500 tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was 1880 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued
at $50 a ton and the milling ore at $25
a tom of 1927, 800.

The usual progress in the eompany's
property was interfered with consider
ably owing to the shutting down of
the mine for three days to repair the
hoist. The gear wheel of the shaft be-
came loose and it was considered un-
safe, so the shut down was ordered in
order to make the necessary repairs.
Everything is now in perfect condition
and since resumption of work last
Wednesday good progress has been
made in the different workings. While
nothing of a sensational nature has
t~ranspired since last report, the under
ground workings show the mine to be
in excellent condition, the ore bodies
their strength and value,
and the usual tonnage of ore extracted
is sent to the mill. Last Sunday the
mill was shut down in order to give
them an opportunity to do some work
which was necessary, but outside of tho
loss of one day the stamps have been
dropping continuously, crushing nearly
l 200 tons in the six days.
