SHELTER AN ASSURED FACT

Within ninety days the earth will
begin to fy on the site for the West
ern SHELTERS corporation, five and a
half miles from Carson. The head
quarters of the company, which have
been at Kansas City, have been moved
to Carson and the company is to be
rc~organized under the laws of the state
of Nevada. Its capital stock is $4,000
600. divided into 10000 shares. G.
w. Clapp of the company was in Reno
Yesterday and confirmed these details
The president is J. A. Yerington OF
Carson. The site for the smelter has
already been selected. 1t is the Old
Merrimac mill on the Carson river.

FLORENCE DISTRICT IS
MAKING STEADY PROGRESS

S. l.. Baker, president of the Nevada
Fay company, is expected to visit the
camp in the very near future. At this
time the No. 2 tunnel is being driven
in and a four foot ledge is being fol
lowed. Ore is piling up on the dump
and it is very probable that this COM
pany will continue development work
all winter, says the Winnemucea Star.
At the present time ore is being
hauled from the Ellis & Jackson prop
erty to Bishops mill. John Stonfeldt
has the contract for moving this ore to
the mill. 1t seems from present indi-
cations that this mill will be kept busy
right along now, as the owner has
plenty of ore of his own to run when
he is not engaged in doing custom
work.
Mr.. Newton, who is in charge of the
work at the SeventNssix mine, has
driven a tunnel in fifty feet on the
ledge and ore taken from the portal to
the face has shown excellent values,
mostly free gold.
"Unele Dan" R~oseberry pulled into
camp a few days ago with a wagon
load of provisions and calculates to put
in the winter working on his holdings
located on Pass creek.
G. SINNERS foreman, Jack Taylor,
was here Sunday to get mail and 1T
was learned that there is talk of put
ting leasers to work on the Buckaroo.
Development work on this property has
reached that stage where the leasers
can feel assured of making a good
stake should they take hold.
The crosscut in the Lone Star is in
nearly fifty feet and it is expected that
the big ledge will be tapped inside the
next seventy feet. This ledge on the
surface has shown good values and is
of sufficient width to develop into a
fine paying proposition.
An expert visited the camp a few
days ago and took samples from a num-
Der of properties around here. He
stated that he had visited many of the
mining camps all over the west and
that in all his experience he had never
seen so many excellent prospects in the
SAM area before. This opinion was
expressed just when he was leaving
camp and after he had spent some days
going over the ground. Coming from
a man of wide experience, and one
familiar with the technical branch of
the subject, this statement was GER
tainly appreciated by those who heard
it.
The owner Of the Snowflake group
win commence getting out timbers in
a few days for the shaft on No. !. The
shaft is going down on the ledge, the
pay shoot Of which has widencd from
eight to twenty inches in a depth OF
fifteen feet, and doubled in the per
tonnage value.

GOLDEN CYCLE

A. NJ. Duncan, secretary and treas
urer of the Masonic Golden Cycle Min
ing company, and II. II. Mighels, ar
rived from the camp of Masonic yester-
day where they had put in the best
part of last week. The work on the
Golden Cycle is progressing nicely anil
while the two were on the ground a new
vein was uncovered near the surface
that bids fair to make the holdings
very attractive from a mining stand
point. This vein is close to the work
ing shaft and will pe further developed
from the surface and also encountered
by a crosscut from the shaft. Carson

T FLAT PLACERs

G.. w. Carly and George Gingery
came in yesterday from Dutch Flat,
where they are interested with the
Dutch Flat Mining company in working
the gravel deposits at that place. The
former will leave tonight for San Fran
cisco to purchase a large quantity of
pipe for the purpose of bringing water
into the diggings. For the past month
or so the company has been developing
water and has secured a nice stream.
1t will require about a mile and a half
of pipe to carry the water to the mines.

WELLINGTON OIL sHALE

Harry b. Livingston has returned
from a trip of a week to the Wellington
oil district and on his return brought a
quantity of oil shale and oil sands from
claims in which he is interested. The
samples brought in by Mr.. Livingston
were taken to the office of George I.
Mills where they may be seen. The
samples are certainly good ones and
are excellent indications of oil in the
neighborhood, but whether it is in large
quantities can only be ascertained by
drilling.-Carson News.

sACKINe GOLD ORE

Theodore Weller is in town from the
Pine Forest range, where he has been
working on property in which he is in
terested with Dave Palmer and Others.
He is showing a number of samples OF
ore that contain free gold. He stated
that they have been running a tunna Fl
on a ledge that has an 1s-inch pay
streak that will run over a hundred
dollars to the ton in the yellow metal
and that they have considerable ore
sacked on the dump which they intend
to ship later.-Star.

DEVELOPMENTS AT WASHABLE

r. NJ. Edmunds, superintendent of
the Washakie-N Nevada Mining com
pany's property, is in town. He states
that good progress is being made in the
camp and that their property is look
ing well as development progresses.
The crosscut tunnel is now in sixty
feet. On No. 2 shaft a foot of high
grade milling ore is being uncovered
at a depth of sixteen feet, says Mr..
Edmunds. A shaft ifty-three feet deep
has ore in the bottom that will run
1924 to the ton with values mostly in
gold.-Star.

HIGH GRADE TAKEN FROM LEASE

Manhattan is excited over one of the
boldest cases of high grading that has
ever occurred in Nevada. The amount
involved is not so great, but the meth
cd adopted challenges attention.
Some time Wednesday night the Shea
lease on No. $ was visited by un-
known parties, who started up the gaso-
line hoist and took from the drift at
the 50-foot level, twenty-six sacks of
high grade ore estimated to be worth
some where between $1,000 and 81 800.

STRIKE

Another strike of rich rock is re-

Kiln canyon south of this city. The
owners have run a tunnel in nearly
three hundred feet and have crosscut
several paying lodges while so doing.
The last find was made at the end of

viously made. The ledge is a large one

propositions, in a mining way, in this
section of the state. Carson Appeal.

PAY DAY IN AUSTIN

Thursday afternoon the Austin Man
haitian company made glad the hearts
of its employees by dispensing about
$4,000 through the Bank of Austin. AL
though a number of years have passed
without Austin having a pay day of any
kind, it must be very encouraging to
the observing one to know that they are
now a permanent fixture. In another
year we honestly expect to see the pay
roll $4,000 a month instead of the
$4,000 as at present.-k,,.,.le.
