The regular monthly cleanup at the
Shoshone was started Wednesday, and
1t will require about a week to reduce
the zinc pereipitates to bullion. OF
course it is not definitely known at this
time what the cleanup will amount to,
but it is estimated hat it will average
with former cleanups, or in the vicinity
of $4,000.
In addition to this the company has
between 35 and 40 tons of concentrates
ready for shipment. The entire output
for the month will be about the same
as that of former months.
The usual development is going on at
the mine under the direction of j. G,
Kirchen, who is also general manager OF
the Tonopah Extension.
A New Strike
The strike reported last week in the
Miner, made by Groshong, Stannard.
Head and Richard on the Randall.
Pritehard property, has developed into
a shipper. The owners of the lease now
are taking out a ton or so of high grade
ore daily, and in a few days will begin
saeking for the first shipment. A quartz
blowout of exceedingly rich free gold
ore was discovered this week, and rock
worth hundreds of dollars a ton is be
ing mined. The ore shows quantities
of free gold, but the width of the body
is the astonishing feature. The find has
created much excitement locally, and
with others recently made, is certain {,
attract the attention of the mining
world.
Pioneer Mill
A. l.. Lidwell was down from Spring
dale Wednesday, and reported SOM
important developments at the Pioneer
in the Mayfower section. Shipping orr
has been developed at a good depth

for the 40-ton mill is expected in nexI

SONOMA A NEW
ESMERALDA CAMP

The new camp of Sonoma is located
three miles from Sweetwater. The dis
.rict is quite extensive, being a con
tinuation of that known as Masonic
over the line in California. 7. J. Con
way and Judge George p. Costigan are
interested in the development OF tins
part of Esmeralda county. The DIS
trict is about five miles in length by
three miles in width. The lodges are
from two to twenty feet in width be-
tween porphyry and granite, the ore
free milling with values in gold from
SO upwards.
The Sonoma group of four claims, de-
veloped to the extent of a 300-foot tun-
mel. is owned by the Sonoma Nevada
Mining company, with main offices at
Denver, Colo. George p. Costigan IS
president and manager and +. NJ. Dun
can secretary and treasurer.
The Nevada Union group of three
claims under the management of Dr. A.
L. Pollard. of Denver, Colo, is being
developed by a 300-foot crosseut tunnel
cutting five different veins, all showing
good ore. A deep shaft is to be SUM
upon this property in the hope OF
reaching high grade ore.
The Texas-Nevada Mining company,
of Fort Worth, Texas, owns 10 claims
three miles east of Sweetwater. Several
good lodges course through the prop
erty, following closely big porphyry
deposits. The ore is a gold bearing
quartz. A crosscut tunnel is in 23s
feet and "a contract has been let to
drive it 100 feet further. Before lOo
feet was finished five distinct lodges
had been crossed. The officers are j. Nj
Vincent, president; A. Nj. MeElwel
vice president; S. o. Noodle, secretary
and general manager; John Borden
treasurer.
In close proximity to the Sonoma
TOWNSHIP and upon the banks OF the
Walker river at Sonoma, a very fin
mill site has been selected and within
the next 50 days a 10-stamp mill ano
cyanide plant will be built upon it. A
few miles up Walker river t. j. Conway
owns three miles of a valuable water
right with a fall of several undreo
feet. The intention is, eventually, t
utilize this water power by the con
struction of an electric power plant tt
furnish electric power for mines ano
mills in all directions.
In the same district is the Sunny jim
mine, having a reputation under the
name of the Old Tyler. 1t is expected
that important changes are to taxi
place in ownership and that Sunny jim
will be developed.

Every camp has its big mine, one
that is pointed to by every resident rs
the bonanza property of the district,
says the Recorder. Here the Ramsey.
Comstoek stands forth as the top notch
property and one that the residents and
the owners are ever sure of as a mine
that may be depended upon to show off
in fine shape and where all development
is but serving to make it a more valu-
able property.
This is more the ease no doubt be
cause the Ramsey-C omstock mine has
been more extensively developed than
any other in the district. The company
has sunk a shaft to the fourth level, has
crosseut and drifted at each level, has
a lot of high grade and milling ore
ready for stopping, and has secured
considerable revenue from the property
by shipping some of the rich ore. The
property is one that has never been
closed to visitors and has probably been
sampled more than any other big mine
in the state.
That is, more visitors have been given
chunks of ore, just as they were broken
out of the drifts or a grab sample from
ore On the ore ears, which in every in
stance will show forth a most satisfac.
tory assay.
Golden West
Some very fine quartz of a kind that
carries high gold values is being ex-
tracted at the Golden West mine. The
tunnel is almost to the hanging wall of
the south ledge and as it approaches
that side better results are obtained.
The quartz is yellowish brown in color,
quite hard and decidedly lively looking.
Paintings of the ore disclose some very
fancy strings of coarse. heavy gold.
Midnight Group
More good ore has been uncovered

SPLENDID MILL RETURNS

A ten-day run of the Mazuma Hills
ten-stamp mill resulted in 200 pounds of
almost dry amalgam, the matter run
ming two ounces of gold to one of silver.
A force of about forty miners is being
employed in the mine and a pump is to
be installed to handle the water that
enters at the lower Wine level.
