Big STRIKE IS
MADE AT UBEHEBE
LEAD CARBONATES FOUND ON
THE PROPERTY OF SAILS
BERRY AND BAKER.

Ubehebe is greater than ever. The
big mine there of which Jack SAILS
berry is president and chief promot-
er, has but forty feet to go until a
contact will be struck which will
bring them into the ore. This tun-
mel is making for the King mine to
tap the ledge there, which will then
be eight hundred feet deep, and be-
fore reaching the ledge, the tunnel
will pass through nine hundred feet
of ore. This is the news that was
brought by j. j. Griffith, who return
ed from Ubehebe on Monday night.
Mr.. Griffith also brought news of
a big strike of lead carbonates on
the property of Salsberry and Ray
Baker, which was located by them
two miles from the Ubehebe camp.
He brought in samples from the ledge
, which went SCI ton. Banker Wat
erman of Bishop has opened up a
lead mine, with a ledge of almost
solid lead eight feet in width.
The property located by Messrs.
Salsberry and Baker" said Mr. Grif-
fifth, comprises only two claims, but
there are no less than fourteen lodges
on the ground. Each one of these
seems to be no less than four feet
in width, and all have the ore. The
average that l got was Sc per cent
lead, 81 ounces in silver, and about
$3.50 in gold. This is ore that could
be easily concentrated and the put
ting up of a mill would not be an
expensive undertaking.
!, "On the big company's ground,
the tunnel which has been contracted
for to be driven five hundred feet, is
in seventy feet, and has to go only
a.. forty feet more before reaching A
contact the ore from all indications
being sulphide, and the people there
= are much enthused over the pros
poets. When the tunnel has been
~ run into the full length, there will
be 500 feet of backs We met al
- least a dozen prospectors who knew
. of the contact, and the passing
:, through nine hundred feet of ore be
= fore reaching the King mine, ant
they have all asked for options OIL
the stock of the company for fifteer
days.
80 This tunnel is being run from tn.
Saline valley side of the mountain
:, and the fact that the ore is turning
:, to sulphide copper is enough TO
:, these men to warrant the belief il
g the permanency of the mine. On tn,
other side of the mountain there i
:, another tunnel to be run, and ii
:. exploring for tunnel site, the me-
:. opened four feet of borax. The rep
- resentative of the American Bora
-, Company was in there at the time
- but he had gone before we reache
-, Ubehebe.
q The Ulida Copper Company,
- New York concern, has five feet c
,is solid gray copper. The company
"a now sending out 1857 900 to take II
IN their bond. There have been thre
- or four automobiles in there durin
a the past several days, and Enginee
-, Cutler of the Goldfield Consolidate
~ was one of party who was there
an make an inspection of the Lost Burr
40 mine, in the vicinity of which Messr
~, Salsberry and Baker have numbt
oh of locations. They are finding goo
to copper ore on Tin Mountain, which
roc about four miles from our Ubehet
~ camp.
The lead mine of Waterman, IL
. Bishop banker, is certainly provir
wonder. They have there the bi
gest lead showings that anyone hi
ever seen. There are eight feet
solid lead ore. which is exposed {
both sides of the mountain, and Il
supposition is that the body runs g
tirely through the mountain.
