RAWHIDE VERITABLE
TREASURE HOUSE

General Manager and President II.
n. Sutherland of the famous Grutt
Hill Coalition lease at Rawhide, ar
rived in this city yesterday and will
leave this morning for the great Ne
vada camp, says the Tonopah Sun.
Mr.. Sutherland is miner OF expert
ence. he having operated in Cobalt
and many other of the great camps
Of the world
In my opinion Rawhide will be
the most phenomenal camp the world
has ever known said Mr.. Suther-
land last evening. Think of the
knocking, the damaging stories sent
out in an attempt 10 discredit the
camp and panic on in the country
when il was impossible to obtain
money in any quarter of the United
States. yet today you viii find a camp
that is shipping ore. has % HOSTS
in operation and q more ordered
and en- route from different mining
machinery concerns. Her weekly
shipments of ore reach $50 tons, with
a value of $40, zoe. The Kearns shaft
has reached depth of 400 feet and
they are rushing work TO a depth of
700 feet. On the Jordan lease of
be Queen Mascot Mining Co. 10 tons
went forward to Hazen which gave
returns of $3.50 a ton. There were
besides 800 pounds of high grade
which went approximately $40
pound. On this lease they are down
~ feet and have vein over four
feet wide. They have installed a %
horse power gasoline engine and will
"a nj IN ~
start the work of developing the rich
vein. The ore is permanent and Of a
grade far in excess of anything there
or in anw other camp This COM
pany at the present time has the
largest pay roll of any single prop
erty in the district and miners are
heine added rs fast as they can use
them
The Grutt Hill Coalition. OF which
am the manager. is close corpora
ton. Charles Gates, son of John W.
Gates, offered $4,000 in cold cash
for The lease which We are now OBJ
Grating, and was turned down. Ny
self and associates were fortunate
enough 10 secure il and we shall
never regret the purchase. At depth
Of 35 feet We took out enough rich
ore 10 make nice shipment. When
the high grade passed out OF the
shaft We sank TO loo feet, where we
encountered the Grutt Hill Mint vein.
A 11o pound sack OF ore netted us
1896 or $31.7o per pound. The
company has been quietly developing
and getting near to the bullion
streak each day for the past week.
For -four feet before coming into this
almost pure seam of gold. the ore has
been rich beyond all expectations
Further developments opened the
vein 20 width Of three feet before
the rich seam was encountered. As
said before, ! have been in the
mining business all my life, but the
sight Of this glittering mass is be-
yond description. The seam is two
inches wide and shows the metal
from the hack TO the bottom. Spe-
eife gravity tests shows that the seam
is SO per cent gold-that
packs trace of silver only The ore
is being taken out and shipped direct
to the mine al San Francisco. The
hoist for our property arrived there
yesterday and installation will be
begun AZ once.
The Mckinley lease, which is on
the Rawhide Rector Mines Co.. has
iust made shipment of 20 tons
which will average 1910 to the ton
This is in the Regent district, which
is rapidly forging to the front.
- firmly believe that had Raw
hide not made good it would have
been an almost vital blow to Ne
vada As il is today she is undoubt-
edly the brightest star in all the
galaxy in this great state
Nj. Sutherland is cousin of Hugh
Sutherland. the well known mining
man OF this district. and was his
guest while in the city
