| Special to The Herald
! HART. Cal, March 29.-There were
two causes for renewed activity in Hart
today. The new owners of the four
Jumbo claims. recently purchased for
100000, are bringing in men and ma
terial for the rapid development of the
mine and the articles of incorporation
of the Hart Consolidated Mining COM
pany were received at the company S
office In addition to this, several mas
of remarkably good ore in large guam
titles on the surface were reported last
night when the men came in from the
| hills
Superintendent Hall of the Quartette
Mining company, which purchased the
Jumbo claims, spent the day in Hart
| and located the spot where the main
shaft of the mine will be sunk without
delay. This shaft will go down between
| the two small shafts aready begun, ana
on one of which the rich strike was
made last week. The location of the
main shaft is very nearly on the spot
where the Foster brothers made the
first rich discovery on the Jumbo.
From the manner in which Mr.. Hall
is rushing work there can be no doubt
that the Jumbo will soon be sending
ore to the Searchlight mills.
Several of the claims that are being
worked made good showings yester-
day On the Pearl lease of the Salt
Lake group Humphrey and Bailey ran
into good rock. showing some free god.
This claim is the next on the south to
the Jumbo, and the rock taken out is
evidently from the same ledge.
Bert Hit and Clark Hit made a
close prospect of their Foothill and
Foothill No 1 claims yesterday and
surface for a distance of about 200
feet The ledge crops out strongly for
500 or 600 feet, and piece knocked
off a pinnacle rock ten feet above the
surface showed some free gold. Close
panning for 200 feet showed values
ranging from So to $40 on the surface.
Busy on Development
On Gray Horse, owned by B. A.
Jennings and Jack Goodwin, there was
found pay rock of the same general
nature and value, the paintings run
ming about the same as the Foothills
and the jasper quartz showing strong
on the ledge, with some free gold.
These claims are about mile west
of the town and run northeast, until
the Foothills claims adjoin the Big
Chief properties on the north. On Sun
rise No. 2 the shaft is down fifty feet
and Goodwin and Jennings will begin
crosscutting for the ledge today. Nearly
all of the shaft shows ore but the cross
cut has about twenty-five feet yet to
run before it gets under the ledge
which shows so we'll on the surface.
The general opinion of the camp is
| that this territory will develop some
very good property.
On the Twin Peaks rich blue quartz
was found in what was supposed to be
the footwall of the ledge. while the
hanging wall also produced stronger
values in the white sugar quartz
One of the puzzles of the camp is
the Tipover claim being worked by the
Hungerfords. The claim lies between
Gray Horse and Sunset Mol, and seems
to be volcanic mud, bit in spite of the
fact, assays good values. The gen.
eral belief is that after they get through
the volcanic formation the Hunger
fords will strike a good body of pay
ore.
The 400-foot tunnel on Orc, which
was started ten days ago. is in sixty
feet. and is expected to cut three
known ledges before getting under the
main ledge at a depth of $50 feet
Double shifts are working on most
of the claims, and Jumbo will start up
with three shifts this week. All of
the workings are showing satisfactory
progress and the belief in the future
of the camp is now a settled convic-
ton.
