SHoSHoNE
SHIPS TWELVE GOLD BRICKS

RHYOLITE, April 12.-Twelve gold
bricks were brought down from the
Shoshone this morning and sent by
express to the mint, the aggregate
value of which is $144.000. This bull
lion represents the saving of the mill
from the 9th OF March until 1, period
of only twenty-one days.
A partial report of the experts,
Krum and Coleman. who recently
made a thorough examination OF the
mine for eastern stockholders. has been
made public in the east, through the
brokerage firm of Weir Bros. of New
York. The report states that the Mont
gomery Shoshone has millions of dol
lars worth of ore blocked out in its
workings and predicts an important ad-
vance in the price of its shares.
The Shoshone mine is without ex-
ception, the best mining property in
the state of Nevada today. At the
present rate the mill will easily output
$175,000 per month. and the shipments
of concentrates will increase this
amount by at least $4,000 more.
The full report of the experts will
be made public in a few days and is
expected to create a sensation in the
mining world.

TWENTY-NINE PALMS
PROMISES BIG MINES
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
FOR LARGE WORK
Leasers Are Invading the New Camp
and Expect Shipping Ore from
the Start--Much Pros
pecting

Recent big strikes in the Twenty
nine Palms country have excited in
terest. Judge w. E. Whine, of the
Gold Park Consolidated, left Los An
geles Friday with a number of men for
the mines, where he intends to stay.
The latest reports bring information
that the strikes on the Atlantic and
Bois are holding up and bid fair to
rival anything yet found in the coun-
try.
superintendent Wardwell of the Italie,
who made the $4,000 strike in prox-
unity to the Gold Park, is getting
ready for large work.
N T. Mason has his outfit complete
and left the city for the Palms on
Saturday. He has a lease of the Ana
Duce and expects to find shipping ore
from the start. The world is moving
swiftly out that way now and every
proposition is looking up. There are
one or two wildcat schemes, but it
won't be long before the cats will be
skinned, for the men of the district
are determined that the camp shall be
a clean one.
The cattle men have been raising
objections because their ranges are
being overrun with prospectors, but the
kick will do no good as the law is
with the miners.

RAILROAD PLANNED FROM
FALLON TO RAWHlDE

WONDER, April 12-There has been
much talk of railroads in this section
of the state. The latest project involves
the building of a line from the South
ern Pacific terminus at Fallon to Raw
hide. 1t is said that surveyors, in
charge of r. r. McGregor, have started
on the work this week.
The proposed route is by way of
Grimes ranch to Rock springs dis
tance of twenty-one miles, where a
spur will be built to San springs, the
latter being ten miles from Rock
springs and twelve miles from Fair
view. From Rock springs it is twenty
one miles to Rawhide, that being the
halfway station between Fallon and
Rawhide Between Rock springs and
Sand springs are the wonderful salt
deposits of Churchill county, where

CLAIMS OWNERSHIP OF
GOLD CIRCLE TOWNSHIP

CARSON, April ia lively contest
for the possession of valuable mineral
land in Elko county is in prospect.
John G. Taylor, the well-known sheep
owner, owns the entire townsite dis
trict upon which the new mining camp
of Gold Circle is located. The land is
patented, and Mr. Taylor proposes to
have possession of his property. He is
at present in Carson making rigid
investigation of plats and maps at the
state land Office, and the contest prom
ises to be exciting. Gold Circle is be-
coming more prominent each day and
values are so rapidly increasing that
the property is certainly desirable ana
it is probable that both sides will be
equally tenacious.

BIG STOCK GROUP
Scene OF RICH STRIKE
Man Who Bonded Claims After %
Years Ownership Makes Strike
for Los Angeles
Company

PRESCOTT, Ariz., April 12-After
holding his mining claims for twenty
three years, and then disposing of them
to the Big Stick Gold Mining company
at fair price. Joseph L. Howell, who
but recently bonded his Howell group
to the Big Stick company, has just
discovered ore on the property assay
ing thousands Of dollars to the ton in
gold. The claims are located in the
Santa Maria district
Mr.. Howell, who arrived here yester-
day, brought in sampues of the new
find, which closely resembles the rich
quartz encountered a few months ago
on the 1600foOt level of the octave
mine. The specimens are rich enough
in the yellow metal to be used in the
manufacture Of watch charms, breast
pins and other like jewelry.
The present owners of the group, the
Big Stick Gold Mining company, E. A.
Haggott, of Los Angeles, general man.
ager, have a shaft down fifty feet on
the ledge, on the apex of which the
rich ore was discovered. The ore in the
bottom of the shaft is of high grade.
1t is the intention of the company to
open the vein by drifts when the shaft
reaches the 100-foot level.
Mr.. Howell stated that good head
way was being made in sinking the
double compartment main working
shaft, which is now down to a depth
of 100 feet. Two shifts are sinking in
at the rate of five feet every twenty
four hours, which indicates that the
ground is easily mined.
He also said that the management
was making preparations to move the
twenty stamp mill. recently purchased
from the Sultan Mining company, with
the Sultan group of mines, to the
Howell group. This mill is among the
most modern in the northern part of
the territory, every labor-saving device
that goes to make the handling and
treatment of ores as nearly automatic
as possible, being included in its ap-
pointments, The properties of the Big
Stick Gold Mining company are located
twenty miles southwest of Date Creek
station on the S. F., P. &, P. railroad.
A wagon road from this station to the
camp was recently built by the COM
pany at a cost of several thousand
dollars.

WATERMAN LEASE GETS
$4,000 CAR OF ORE

GOLDFIELD, April 12.-The first
shipment from the Waterman lease on
the Sandstorm was sampled during the
week by the Western Ore Purchasing
company and is now at the works of
the Nevada Ore Sampling company at
Hazen that company having purchased
the ore.
The car contained twenty-five tons,
of which about sixteen tons was vein
matter which surrounded the rich
streak and the lot had tonnage value
of S4OO, close to $500 for the lot.
A whim has been installed at the
lease and two shifts are now sinking
on the fat streak, which assays over
$1,000 for ten inches across In future
all shipments will include the lower
grade ores.

treating plants and operate them. These
five mines are all old Spanish mines,
and the principal work to be done on
them is to clear out the old workings.
"My father valued these five mines
very highly, and 1 think they will sell
at a handsome figure when Ne clear
them out and expose the ore bodies.
To Demonstrate Values
1--WE are not in the stock selling bus
mess, and none of our stock is going
to be placed on the market until after
we have done some development work
and demonstrated the value of our
properties Only the treasury stock,
a small block of $500 shares, will be
offered to the public at this time. The
proceeds of this stock will all go to
pay the preliminary expenses of devel-
opment on the mines.
I'VE have capitalized our company
at $3.50, 900. which we estimate to be the
market value of the mines in their
present state of development. We be-
lieve that our properties will be worth
many times the amount of the capital
stock as soon as we have done some
development work on them. We did
not want to start out with an inflated
Capitalization and we will hold our
stock at par.
"Yes, l spent five years with my
father in Guerrero, and I know the
country thoroughly. / went there with
him before the Mexico, Cuernavaca &
Pacific railway was completed, and it
took us fourteen days on horseback to
reach our camp. Our pack animals
were nearly three weeks on the trail.
I'VE went into Iguala on the first
construction train that went through
j
ried down mine supplies and dynamite
for blasting. My father was known
as the pioneer miner of Guerrero. We
have named the company for him and
that is why his picture appears on the
first page of our booklet.
Natives Are Kindly
"The natives in Guerrero are very
kind and hospitable to Americans.
They like the coin that Americans
usually carry with them and therefore
they welcome the influx of American
miners. AS laborers they are not half
so good as Americans, but then they
get less than half the wages of Amer
can miners.
I'VE will probably commence active
work of development about August 1.
Our headquarters will be at San Mich
olas del Orc, a small mountain village
west of Balsas station. I will take an
engineer with me, and we will stop in
Mexico City long enough to purchase
an outfit of dynamite and tools.'
The local office of the Reed Mine
Development company is at 603-4 San
Fernando building, where Mr.. Reed is
daily exhibiting maps of the Guerrero
country and showing interesting sam
pies of ore and of gold and silver taken
from the Guerrero mines.
The Mitchell Mining company went
into Guerrero several years ago as soon
as the railroad was completed to the
Rio Balsas. Since then numerous Los
