rhe indications of vein persistency at
depth showing in the Bradshaw lease
block, the continuation of the ledge
obtaining within the confines of the
Goodwin leasehold, entered largely into
his estimate of the latter's worth. As
a general proposition, however, the
noted g~eologist prefers that portion of
the Queen estate upon which are located
the leases first mentioned. OF the en-
tire area inspected he is said to give
preference to Hooligan hin.
Crosscutting on Victor
An accident to the hosting machin-
cry necessitated for some days the ces-
sation of prosecuting to ledge contact
from the 200-foot level of the leasehold
of the Rawhide Victor Mining & Leas-
ing company on the Coalition estate.
The first of the present week work was
resumed at that level and a few days
later the objective point was reached.
Last Sunday morning the tail end of a
Bottom shipment of 800 the ton ore
went out by wagon to sampler at
Hazen. Ore is being broken at the
I25-foot level with daily regularity and
as fast as hoisted is screened and
sacked. Most of the quartz now COM
ing up the shaft screens an average OF
$135 the ton. The oversize has a value
varying from SIS to $25 the ton. If the
Probcrt deduction that $40 ore of this
camp can be reduced at profit be cor
rect the Victor management can stope
out and ship to mill every pound of ore
prevailing between the 200-foot level
and surface.
North End of Camp
Development is progressing advan-
tageously at the various company and
lessee workings located on mineral acre
age in the north end of the camp. AT
1.-THE property of the Tarantula company
a main working shaft is being sunk by
the company management with the OBJ
jeet of proving up the ground at depth.
Mr.. G. S. johnson of Goldfeld, holding
control in the owning company, was in
camp this week arranging for further
development work. He stated that a
hosting plant is to be installed at once,
and that as soon as it is in commission
the shaft will be lowered to the zone of
primary precious metal enrichment with
all possible dispatch. Exposed in the
upper levels of the shaft is a well de-
fined, well mineralized ledge of milling
grade ore of unusual breadth. With
ore reduction facilities offering 50 per
cent extraction near at hand the Taran-
tula property could begin making ship
ments Immediately.
Rawhide Mining Leases
William Berg of Chicago, is the lat
est addition to the leasing corps on the
Last Chance claim of the Rawhide Min
ing company. Recent advertisements
would tend to the deduction that Berg
had leased the entire Last Chance claim,
and in order to set the matter right
with the public your representative i'm
parts the information that Berg's inter
est in the Last Chance pertains only to
a lease on blocks Nos. 9 and 10. I'm
der the terms of the lease contract with
the Rawhide Mining company Mr.. Berg
agrees to sink a vertical shaft a depth
of 800 feet and to equip it with hosting
machinery just as soon as sufficient
depth has been gained to make its use
practicable. 1t is understood that Berg
viii Engage in development work before
the close of the current month.
Morrissey-G illilland
The shaft at the Morrissey lease on
the Last Chance is down 200 feet and is
to be sunk a depth of 800 feet before
further attempt is made to prove up.
At a depth of 100 feet the same ledge
was cut on it's dip as was prospected so
successfully in the drives from the up
per levels. The grade of the ore varies
from SIS to $50 the ton, both where it
is exposed in the shaft and where it
prevails in the upper workings. The
shaft at the Gillilland lease on the Last
Chance is nearing the l00-foot point
where is to be crosscut the continuation
o fthe ledge making in from the Nor
rissey block. All ore coming from the
Gillilland breaks a profitable milling
average. 1t is the intention to hold the
product from both the Morrissey n
Gillilland leases until such time as the
milling plant of the parent company en-
tiers upon its labors.
