W. R. Clark, vice president of the
White Cloud Mining & Milling COM
pany, who are just returned from Ne
vada, reports splendid progress in the
development of the company's ground
just over the Utah line in White Pine
county, says the Salt Lake Herald. Last
fall a ffty-foot ledge was prospected
and opened to shallow depth by a shaft
Splendid lead-silver gold ore was en-
countered and a tunnel was started this
spring to open it up at greater depth
and to permit Of economical mining and
development. This tunnel has now at.
tanned a depth of 160 feet and the next
week or two win carry the face into

of men, on invitation of j. v. Priest Of
Tonopah, who is president and princi-
pal owner of the Mogul company, visit
ed the mines at Ray. 1t was a revela-
tion to all Of them, for none dreamed

wonders as to appear to be a future
rival of Tonopah itself. In the party
were the following: r. c. Moore of
the Tonopah Banking corporation; +.
Y. Williams, manager of the Lathrop-
Davis company; C. c. Boak, mining
man; L. A. May and Charles B. Burt,

A Remarkable Spectacle

At the age of six months nRawhlde
presents the remarkable spectacle of
actual development work in progress
that would do credit to many other
camp at the age of three years. And
it is not on paper; the work is actually
going on. more and more men being
added each day, machinery coming in
at the rate of thousands Of dollars a
day. Gallows frames are shooting up
like magic, power is being applied to
the mine work, and all the while depth
is being attained, which means that the
era Of real mining is on in earnest

NEVADA Niue Ranks First

Tonopah has the largest silver pro-
ducinp mine in the western world-the
Tonopah Mining company's property,
the pioneer mine of new Nevada. In
the matter of ounces of silver produced
Il ranks second among the mines OF
the world, the Broken Hills mine OF
Australia ranking first. Considering
that the local mine produces gold IN
the ratio of about one-third value gold
and two-thirds value silver, its rank as
a precious metal producer is greatly
bettered.

and others of Ogden; c. w. Watts, of
the Nevada Gold Circle and other prop
ositions, together with L. Shear, a Den

Gold Circle yesterday morning, says
Salt Lake Herald.
"The camp is growing all the time"
said Mr.. Snyder, "and work is going
on at a large number of properties.
Lcasers are doing well in a large mum
Der of instances and many more leasers
would be at work now, If the new COM
panies were ready to grant them. But
it is impossible to do everything in a

to wait its turn. New strikes are being
made every day, and new people are
pouring into the district as fast as they
can get there"

Plenty of Shipping Ore

Reports from Battle Mountain indi-
cate that the Pedro mine, controlled by
the Langley rimble company, has ship
ping ore in abundance and is making
good in every particular. General Man
ager G. Mart Corns informs the Herald
that the east drift is now in 165 feet
on the ore shoot with good ore all the
way. The face of the drift is in ship
ping ore. The ore is partially oxidized
and about one-third of the values are
free. No assay returns have been re-
ceived yet but a good string of gold
shows up in the pan. The property has
been visited by a large number of min
ing men during the past two weeks and
without exception they say that there
is no question about the Pedro being a
producing mine.

Shady Run Is shipping

Sunday a 12-horse outfit arrived IN
Fallon from Shadyrun bringing in five
tons of high grade ore from the Gold
Wedge claims, consigned to the Western
Purchasing company at Reno. 1t is ex-
pected that this ore will go better than
5000 per ton. Five more tons from the
same mine are on the way now, making
ten tons of the richest kind of gold
rock, and the camp is not yet over foul
weeks old. No other camp in the state
can point to a record that will equal 1T.
Shipping ore in four weeks from the
time the first pick is struck in the
ground is a marvel in mining.

v q Bonanza

Rock worth 50 a pound has been en-
countered in the Little Hero tunnel
two miles north and west of Farrell in
the north end of the Seven Troughs
district. The operating force has been
following high grade and picture rock
for some time and sacking at a rate
that promises an early shipment, when
recently the foot wall streak began to
enrich until a substantial body of ore
has come in on the foot wall that shows
the gold and silver alloy in a finely
divided state all through the quartz
The latest assay gives a value of
$4.OO9 and out of this almost 500 ounces
in silver. The discovery is almost 100
feet below the surface.

Running for Pay Shoot

On the 500-foot level in the Nevada
Wonder the drift which is being run
to catch the pay shoot is in about %
feet. 1t is estimated that this will be
cut at 100 feet or a little over. As pro-
gress is made toward it the ere is inn
proving, but the report that shipping
rock has already been uncovered in
this drift has not been confirmed by
Assistant General Manager William
Daniel, who says that the ore is still OF
milling grade. The force now consists
of fourteen men, two muckers having
been laid off because the increasing
hardness of the rock made it impossi-
Bile to break down a sufficient quantity
to keep these men busy.

high grade ore at a depth of IS feet, at
a point five feet from the west wall,
showing the high grade to be at least
five feet in width. For over 10 feet,
