/, duce ores until such time as the lOU-
ton mill of the parent company begins
its labors. By that time it is expected
the lease will be able to output an
average of 25 tons of ore per day.
Should the time for building the mill be
deferred for several months subsequent
to New Years it is believed the lease
will be in position to output better than
so tons of ore per day by the date the
plant goes into commission.
The Gillilland and McClelland
At the Gillian and McClelland
leasehold on the estate of the Rawhide
Mining company shaft sinking is in
vogue, incidental to depth getting and
the proving up of the blocks. The Gill
Inland shaft is down better than So feet
and from the 65-foot point is in an ex-
cellent grade of milling ore. Not a lit
tie of the quartz shows gold in the free,
and by careful sorting it would be pos
sible to save a nominal tonnage having
a value of 800 the ton. All ore of
whatever grade is, however, being piled
on dump in readiness for reduction at
the mill of the Rawhide Mining com
pany. The McClelland shaft is down
20 feet on an incline and is to be con-
tinued to a depth of 100 feet, where the
ledge followed from surface is to be
crosscut and drifted upon. AS the aver
age grade of the ore extracted while
sinking is a trife in excess of SIS the
ton, it is not unlikely that the product
to be blocked out at the 100-foot level
will have at least a corresponding value.
The Gillilland, MeClelland and Nor
rissey leasehold are acknowledged to
be the most promising located along
the northeast strike of the Coalition
dyke.
At the Shannon
just before leaving camp for an over
Thanksgiving visit with relatives at
Port Richmond, CAL, Lessee Shannon
touched off a round of shots in the sup
posed hanging wall of the ledge ex-
posed at a depth of IS feet on his block
of Hoodlum ground. By so doing it
was demonstrated that the wall itself
if it be a wallis ore; and ore show
ing much gold in the free. Hitherto
the generally accepted theory has been
that the Shannon lease on the Hoodlum
and the Morrissey lease on the Last
Chance carried the north continuation
of the assure next but one to the west
wall of the Coalition dyke. Since the
demonstration of a few days ago, how
ever, it appears probable the lease
holds mentioned carry the continuation
of the ledge which lies against the west
contact, it in turn being the one from
which Richard and Holland are mining

ply Hooligan claim of the Rawhide
Coalition Mines company. If further
development prove such deduction true

The announcement was made during
the week that the Round Mountain
Central Mining company would begin
active operations at once, says the Mug
get.
This information was given out by
Messrs. G.. s. johnson and s. C. Burr
who came in from Goldield in order to
make the necessary arrangements.
Work will be begun during the coming
week and it will be done by contract.
1t is proposed to sink a shaft near
the Fairview and Daisy lines with a
view to cutting these ledge systems
The first contract calls for fifty feet Of
depth with a shaft four by seven feet
in the clear.
While this work is in progress it will
allow of hauling in a gallows frame and
power hoist which have already been
secured and are ready for forwarding.
The engine is a fifteen horse power
Fairbanks Morse gasoline hoist.
This will be installed over the shaft
as soon as it arrives and then the sink
ing for depth will be continued without
interruption.
MI. johnson is secretary of the CON-
pany. Mr.. Burr is . member of the
brokerage firm Of Burr Brothers in New
York City who have been taking care
of the eastern end Of the company's af-
fairs. These gentlemen state that they
have built up a good substantial treas
ury and will now be able to prosecute
the development of the property to the
full extent.
The officers of the company, which in
clude E. B. Cushman, C. r. Evans and
C. H. Wise, have been working unre-
mittingly to secure the necessary funds
and are deserving Of every credit, to-
gether with Messrs. Burr Brothers, in
finally financing the operations.
Considerable exploration work has
been done ON the Central's acreage dur
ing the past two years through the

Rawhide, Dee. 3.-The present week
is marked by the extraction and sacking
of shipping grade ore at the Stowell
lease on block No. 10 of the Owl No. 3
claim. Late last week a deposit of pay
grade ore was opened at surface
through medium of an open cut driven
into the hill a length of 80 feet. In the
heading the deposit shows a width of A
feet and a height of Is feet. 1t has
been stripped for a length of 80 feet,
has an average value of $50 the ton,
and screens and sacks an average value
approximating 800 the ton. Piled near
the entrance to the cut are about 5 tons
of the value last mentioned. The ledge
has a north-south strike and makes into
the Stowell block from the Clinker lease
on the Coalition estate, where it is be-
ing crosscut at a depth of 100 feet. 1t
makes into the .Clinker leasehold from
the Grutt hill section, and is unques-
tionably one of the nmerous paralleling
assures which are confined in the i'm
mense Coalition dyke. just above the
open cut on the Stowell block a shaft
has been sunk a depth of los feet.
From it's bottom a crosscut is being run
over to contact with the ledge opened
at surface. 1t will require about 20
feet of driving to reach the objective
mark.
Sinking at Marigold
Sinking has been resumed at the well
known Marigold block on the Coalition
estate with the object of proving up at
considerable depth the ledge exposed
in the north drive from the east cross
cut at the 50-foot level. At the same
time development is progressing at the
5O-foot point and is associated with
the extraction of ore having an aver
age value of $1S the ton. The screen
ings sack an average value Of Sal the
ton. The ledge is the continuation
south of that opened in the Grutt-Hard
workings, adjoining on the north. Much
of the quartz shows gold and silver in

would be possible to conserve a nominal
tonnage having an average value con-
siderably in excess Of Sal the ton.
The Marigold is considered one of the
best leasing propositions in the famous
Grutt hill section, where are also To-
Gated the Mint, Sutherland and Proskey
No. 2 leaseholds, each of which is a pro-
Queer Of bonanza ore.
The 0rutt-Hard
Ore having a value varying from SIS
to $3.50 the ton is being broken in the
slope from the 50-foot level of the
Grutt-Hard lease on the Coalition. The
drive south on the vein at the S0-foot
level is out from the station a length of
So feet in an ore body having an aver
age value of $3.50 the ton. The vein
is confined between perfect walls and
has a width of IA feet. The shoot Of
shipping grade has a width of 3 feet
and is continuous from surface. Stop
ing is TO begin as soon as the drive has
