RAWHIDE VERITABLE
TREASURE HOUSE
II. H. SUTHERLAND, MANAGER
OF THE GRUTT HILL COALI-
TON, IN TONOPAH.

H. H. 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
yada camp. Mr.. Sutherland is
miner of experience, he having oper-
ated in Cobalt and many other Of the
great camps of the world.
I'm 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 to discredit the
camp and panic on in the country
when it was impossible to obtain
money in any quarter of the United
States, yet today you will find a
camp that is shipping ore, has
twenty-seven hoists in operation and
twenty-one more ordered and en-
route from different mining machin-
cry concerns. Her weekly shipments
of ore reach $50 tons, with a value
of $4,000. The Kearns shaft has
reached a depth of 400 feet and they
are rushing work to depth of 700
feet. ON the Jordan lease of the
Queen Mascot Mining company ten
tons went forward to Hazen which
gave returns of $3.50 a ton. There
were besides 1900 pounds of high
grade which went approximately
$40 a pound. On this lease they
are down forty-four feet and have a
vein over four feet wide. They have
installed a 25-horse power gasoline
engine and will sink to a depth of
$50 feet and then start the work of
developing the rich vein. The ore is
permanent and of grade far in ex-
cess of anything there or in any
other camp. This company at the
present time has the largest pay roll
of any single property in the district
and miners are being added as fast
as they can use them.
THE Grutt Hill Coalition, OF
y which | am the manager, is close
corporation. Charles Gates, son OF
+ John w. Gates, offered 100000 in
L cold cash for the lease which we are
now operating, and was turned down
e Myself and associates were fortunate
L. enough to secure it and we shall
never regret the purchase. At ;
depth of thirty-five feet we took on
IS enough rich ore to make nice ship
y ment. When the high grade passe'
III out of the shaft we sank to 106 feet
where we encountered the Grutt Hill
"a Mint vein. A 11O-pound sack of or
y netted us $3495 or $31.70 per pound
ie The company has been quietly de
veloping and getting near to the bul
is lion streak each day for the pas
a week. For four feet before comm
er into this almost pure seam of gold
by the ore has been rich beyond all eA
pectations. Further development
M opened the vein to width of tire
re feet before the rich seam was er
In countered. AS / said before, l hav
no been in the mining business all m
", life, but the sight of this glitterin
mass is beyond description. TIL
er seam is two inches wide and show
~, the metal from the back to the DO
tn tom. Specific gravity tests show
op that the seam is SO per cent metal
ne gold-that packs a trace of silv'
ne only. The ore is being taken out an
MS shipped direct to the mint at Sa
tul Francisco. The hoist for our pro
lat erty arrived there yesterday and il
Is stallation will be begun at once
The Mckinley lease, which is {
he the Rawhide Rector Mines compan
ed has just made shipment of TWEEN
es- tons, which will average $21O to Il
fas ton. This is in the Regent distriC
by which is rapidly forging to the fror
&C. Il firmly believe that had RAJ
vi. hide not made good it would ha
TN been an almost vital blow to Nevad
Ter AS it is today she is undoubtedly t
na- brightest star in all the galaxy
ler this great state
Mr.. Sutherland is cousin of HUI
Sutherland, the we'll known mini
man of this district, and was
guest while in the city.
