RAwHIDE

Development work on the Rawhide
Tarantula property continues with un.
abated vigor, the deep shaft which is
being sunk now having attained a depth
of 100 feet. On the S5-foot level large
vein, fully twenty feet in width, was
opened up, all of which showed eonsid-
cradle gold values, with portions run
ming exceptionally well. The shaft is
being sunk in a quartz and porhpyry
conglomerate, all of which shows free
gold in the pan. A hosting plant is to
be Immediately installed oil the Taran-
tula property and tie shaft continued
to the 20O-foot level. The management
believes that at that depth they will
open up one of the best ore bodies of
the Rawhide district.

by the Goldfeld Brokerage company OF

right controlling 100000 gallons daily
has been secured, and arrangements are
being made to lay a pipe line to bring
this water to the new camp for milling

One of the staging companies is plan

the Tonopah route. Road signs have

A TOWNSHIP, which will be known as

will be offered for sale as soon as the

GOOD STRIKES MADE
IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

Bud Williams and Ted Brandon have
returned from the new strike at Winnie
mueca lake, % miles north of Wads-
worth. Mr.. Williams states that the
Packard strike is good, two of the as
says going $4,000 and $1,000 a ton. A
ton of shipping ore was taken out from
the grass roots down to a depth of five
feet and was sent to the sampling works
at Hazen. The dirt and ledge pan all
the way across.
The town site of Nightingale has
been laid out at a spring a mile and a
half south of the strike. The strike is
about three miles from Winnemucca
lake. and the ore could easily be run
down on a tramway if a mine Is de
veloped.
Another strike has been made since
the rush, a mile and a half east of the
townsite by Kirk of Wadsworth and
"Happy'' Emersan, who worked for
the /. H. Kent company last summer.
They found rock tnat shoWed iiee Soio
and dirt that pans well.
The country is all taken up. BUD

ore is gold and silver, running about
three-fourths of the total value in the
yellow mineral.
Assays have shown gold values of no,
less than s24.50 per ton and as high as
$3.50. The ores will be treated by anal.
gamation and concentration. Some of
the ores are base while others are free
milling, there being several lodges.
The property consists of fifteen
claims and a fraction and include a
number of mill and tunnel sites to-
gether with all the water rights.
The former owner, Charles Kanrohat
has lived in Jefferson Canyon a great
many years. The mine is an old time
producer and several millions of dollars
has been taken out of it.
The property was located in the
seventies by Charles j. Kanrohat, who
has stayed by his holdings through all
kinds of depression and prosperity. He
has shipped more than 100000 worth
of ore, hauling the same by team over
long distances of desert roads. He ex-
pended most of this money in further
development of the mines, in which
there are now 10000 tons blocked out,
and 100000 tons on the dump.
The old Jefferson mine, which is en-
tirely surrounded by the Kanrohat
properties, produced $3,000,000 in Is
months before closing down, as a result
of the depression in silver values.
The last work lone at the Kanrohat
mine was in the tunnel that tapped the
ledge at a depth of 500 feet. Kanrohat
originally opened up this ledge with a
shaft which is down 100 feet.
The last shipment from the mine was
taken from this shaft and sent to the
Selby smelter. 1t yielded a net return
of $3.50 per ton.-Nugget.
