RICKEY BRINGS IN
FOUR GOLD BARS
TWO WEEKS CLEANUP AT THE
KEANE WONDER
Expected That Operations When at
Capacity viii Be $3.50 Daily.
Ore for Years to
Come

RHYOLITE, Jan. 19.-As a result of
two weeks cleanup at the Keane
Wonder mill, Colonel T. B. Hickey, one
of the owners of the property, yester-
day brought in four gold bricks, worth
approximately $4,000 Two of these
bricks were deposited in the First Ma
tional bank to meet the payroll and
other current expenses and the other
two were taken to the Carson city
mint by Colonel Hickey. The two left
at the bank when weighed by Cashier
Stickney for shipment to San Fran
cisco, amounted to $4,000, and the two
taken 10 Carson were practically of the
same weight and fineness.
Accompanying Colonel Hickey was a.
]. Wright of Goldfeld, who is largely
interested in the Keane Wonder prop
erty. Mr.. Wright made a thorough
examination of the property and was
greatly pleased. The mill is now treat
ing seventy-five tons of ore, varying in
value from $12 to $25 a ton, and Mr..
Wright says that there is a sufficient
amount blocked out to keep it running
for years to come.
In parts of the mine the ore can be
literally quarried, greatly reducing
mining expenses. The entire cost of
mining, milling and tramming, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wright, is SO a ton.
Owing to the fact that there has been
some difficulty with the waite and
an adequate supply of crude oil could
not be obtained for generating power.
the mill has not been running at its
full capacity. These difficulties, how
ever, have been overcome and the plant
from this on will be run at its full ca
pacity. The net profit from present
operation amounts to $3.50 a day.

NEW MILL ARRANGED FOR
BLACKHoRSE DISTRICT MINES

TONOPAH, Jan. 19-The contracts
for mill site and water rights for the
Blackhorse Reduction company, in the
Blackhorse district, have been fully
signed by all parties concerned and
fully approved by the eastern capital
lists who are providing the money to
build the plant. This is the good news
for Blackhorse ore producers which A.
G. Burrit was enabled to give out. He
said further that the material and
machinery for the new mill would be
collected on the ground as rapidly as
possible and that no time would be
lost in getting the steamps ready to
drop.
1t is to be a 20-stamp mill, with con-
centrating plant capable of handling
at least 60 tons of ore day. The site
obtained for it is on the San Pedro
townsite, where there is an abundant
water supply, and the location being
convenient for the producing proper
ties of the camp. Mr.. Burrit promoted
the project solely for the benefit OF
the camp and the contract stipulates
that the mill is to take ore from the
mines of the district without discrim-
nation. The company that is to build
the mill will be known as the Black
horse Reduction company.

REDDING, Cal. Jan. 19.-The min
ers employed in the West Point mine
at Deadwood uncovered rich body
of ore last Saturday morning and In
the owners of the prop
erty are jubilant. ~,
The vein is over two feet in Wldth
and shows much free gold. The dis
covery was made in the lower tun-
mel, which is now in about 1870 feet.
For the past five months a small force
of men has been employed at TINS
property endeavoring to locate the
vein. which has proved better than
anticipated. ,.,-.
The West Point is located within
stones throw of the celebrated NC
Donald and Brown Bear mines, whlch
have produced millions. The fact Is
considered of much Importance and
undoubtedly affects the valuation OIL

SAY BERNARDINO, Jan. 10
County Surveyor NJ. L. Cook returned
Yesterday from a visit to the new gold
strike lire miles east of Barnwell. He
made a careful investigation of the
variou locations, which cover a series
CT parallel rhyolite bikes, from 200 to
zoe feet in width and extending in a
northeastern, direction for a great dis
lance He horl-ed out numerous speci-
mems, finding them rich in gold, the
values rea. reaching a high figure,
and he pronounceS the strike genuine.
Whether the rich ore bodies uncov-
cred at Camp Hart will attain depth
is a question which has not yet been
answered The next thirty days will
tell the story, as the Goldfield men.
who have taken leases on the greater
part of the locations, are preparing to
sink shafts and exploit the inner bodies
of ore at once.
So far little development work has
been done. the absence of tools having
retarded all but the work of locating
of properties Surface work is show
ing up we'll, and the miners of Gold
field are certainly enthusiastic, declar-
ing that the bikes are similar in every
respect to those in the Nevada mining
camps which have become permanent
producers of a steady flow of the yell
low metal.
MOCK is Like TlnL
Several tool sharpening outfits have
arrived in camp, and are kept con-
stantly bur-, the rock in which the

work is being undertaken by Richard
& Elliott of Goldheld. who have Sc
cured five leases. Messrs. Hart 81
Hit, the original discoveries, also of
Coldfeld commence work at once, and
have ordered 1000 ore sacks, intending
to ship high grade ore Immediately.
Water is being hauled from Marvel,
and sells readily at Hart, as the new
camp is known, at $40 per barrel. A
telephone line is being constructed
from the SeaIchlight branch of the
Santa Fe railroad, and will place the
camp in touch with surrounding COM
munities by Sunday, making it possi7
BILE to talk with Searchlight, fifteen

Lots Have Doubled
A TOWNSHIP has been laid out and
lots have doubled in value since the
rush began. They were finding ready
buyers a. S25 lot for inside lots, and
S100 for corners when the rush began,
and big money has been made in the
rapid rise in value since then. 1t IS

He is .,anguine that the camp will
prove permanent. Though the ground
has been worried over by prospectors
for numerous years, yet the ore is not
such as California prospectors are ia

would readily be discarded as of no
value. The fact has tended to prevent
the discovery CT the rich bikes until
now. The find was made by Goldheld
miners who at once recognized the
value OF their discovery.

YERINGTON HOPES
ARE IN BLUESTONE
DE LAMAR'S TEN MILLION DOL
Lar MINE
Electrically Equipped, and Work on a
Large Scale Is to Begin
Before the End of
January

RENO, Jan. 19.-That the great Blue
stone property will soon be the scene
of the most active campaign of devel-
opment in the history of the Yering-
ton district seems self-evident, judg-
Ing by the preliminary preparations
that are now being made at the mine.
1t has been several weeks since
operations there were practically sus-
pended due, it is stated, to the nom
arrival of much needed machinery.
AT the present time there is a gen.
eral stir n the vicinity of the Blue
stone which bespeaks the early re-
sumption of operations on a scale UNI
precedented in the history of Captain
de Lamar's S10,00O,00O mine.
This week the lights were turned
on and their chickering's present
pretty picture from the city of Yer
ington. 1t will be all of two weeks
before the electricians will have fin
ished their labors at the Bluestone
camp. There are several cottages to
be wired, in addition to the Install
alton of another motor, which will be
used in connection with the cleo
trolytic plant which is planned to
treat 1000 tons of ore per day. AL
ready two motors of 1O-horse power
each have been installed while the
third will have 15-horse power. The
compressor is 300-horse power.
While the work of electrically
equipping the plant progresses, work.
men are employed building a third
furnace for the process which is to
treat the Bluestone product. /
At the Bluestone, when everything
is in running order, there will be
quite a substantial settlement. In
keeping with Capt De Lamar's ideas,
several cottages have been erected to
be occupied by the miners and their
families, while the residence of Su-
perintendent Week is one of the most
modern in Western Nevada.
All signs point to the early construc-
ton of the railroad from Wabuska to
Yerington. 1t is asserted by many
that it is on this account that the
Bluestone company is arranging for
beginning its career of production.
In the workings of the mine there
is blocked out ready for hoisting to
the surface, $1OOOO,OOO worth of ore.

NEW GOLD STRIKE IN
ROUND MOUNTAIN REGION
Ledge Cut at Ninety Feet That Shows
Rich Values in Free Gold-May
Be the Sunnyside
System

ROUND MOUNTAIN, Jan. 19.-Of
great Importance to the camp is the
news OF the gold strike on the Great
Western company's ground last week.
The strike was made on the lease
owned and operated by William Matt
ley and George Manli. In a crosscut
which is being run at depth of about
ninety feet a ledge running rich in
gold values was cut. This carries rich
stringers which yield handsome speci-
mems of free gold.
1t is believed that the ore body which
has been encountered belongs to the
rich ledge system which has made and
Is making the Sunnyside mine famous.

RA WHIDE
SHIPS BIG
ORE VALUES
HILL SENDS TWENTY
TONS
EXPECT SHIPMENT TO BRING
ABOUT $4,000
Capital Is Entering the Storehouse of
Precious Minerals and the
Camp Is OIL the
Boom

TONOPAH, Jan. 19.-Another ship
ment of ore has been made from Raw
hide. Twenty tons of high grade were
sent Saturday and Sunday from the
camp to the reduction works at Gold
field from the Kearns lease, and it is
estimated that the returns from this
small shipment will bring not less than
$4,000.
This is a starter from the gold camp,
which for the past two weeks has been
in the limelight, and which bids fair to
be the greatest camp of them all. More
people are going in there, more ore is
coming out of the properties every
day. More transactions are being re-
corded capital has found the way into
the new storehouse of precious min
erals.
The Kearns lease, which is at pres
ent the big thing in the camp, is
owned by Thomas Kearns, George Won
Polentz, ]. e. MacGowan and John
Holley, all of Goldheld. They are all
men who know how to work a mine,
and they are going after the ore in the
proper fashion. Two f1fteen-horse pow
er gasoline hoists are now on the way
in, and these will greatly increase OPP
erations. Mr.. Kearns has also bought
the Miller lease. another rich property.
AS to the amount paid for the lease,
Kearns is mum, but he estimates that
he has $4,000 in sight.
The Kearns lease was sold to the
present owners by the Grutt brothers,
who are the kings of the camp. They
were the first in there, and had the
opportunity of selecting the best out
looks, and from all accounts they did
it. The Grutt brothers parted with
the Kearns lease for the reason that
they wanted ready money to go ahead
with their other work. The price paid
for the Kearns lease was $35,000 and
more than this has been already taken
out of the ground.

tunnel, which connects with Poland, a
terminus of the Bradshaw Mountain
railroad.
The group, which adjoins the Pine
Mountain mines, comprises hve run

UP TO DATE
BuIfrog Region Interested in This
and Mill Work at Pioneer Mine.
Cyanide Plant is
Ready

GOLDFIELD, Jan. 19.-The machin-
cry in the Gold Bar mill at Bullfrog
has been completely installed and a
successful test run was made. In a
very short time the mill will be running
full blast, or, rather as soon as all the
apparatus Is "broken in The delay
in starting operations has been due to
the work of connecting up the electric
power and failure to receive the pumps
to be used in carrying water to the
mill However, everything is now in
readiness, and it Is expected that a
record will be made in placing the
equipment and getting under way.
The Gold Bar mill has ten stamps,
with a capacity of treating about fifty
tons per day. Prior to placing the
order for the equipment the ores were
thoroughly tested for method of treat
ment, and everything is strictly up to
date.
The cyanide plant which has been in
use on the tailings dump of the Card
ner mill at Goldfeld has been secured
by the Bullfrog Pioneer Leasing and
Milling company, which is operating
a lease on the Bullfrog Pioneer, and
this outfit is now en- route to the
property. 1t will be used in conjunc-
ton with a Blake crusher, and prob
ably crushing rolls to reduce the ore to
q pulp. This equipment will furnish q
capacity of about fifty tons a day, and
enable the company to make a high
percentage of extraction.
On the property ar upraise g being
driven to the surface, a distance OF
about thirty-fve feet, and upon its
completion hosting equipment will be
installed which will probably be a q
horsepower gasoline engine.

SKID00 PIPE LINE BRINGS
WATER TWENTY NILES
Camp Is Delighted and Engineers
Report Three Millions in Ore
Now in Sight-NeW
Mill

GOLDFIELD. Jan. 19.-Information
from Skidoo is to the effect that the
new pipe line into that camp running
from Telescope peak, twenty miles
away, has cost approximately $25O,O0O.
A pressure of 800 pounds to the square
inch is available. The system has been
constructed by those heavily interested
in the Skidoo Mines Company, the big
corporation controlling the biggest
property in the section, and indicates
the prospective value of that mine, OF
which L. A. Montgomery is at the
head. BY next March it is expected
that the first unit of the 400 tons a day
plant being constructed by the COM
pany. will have been completed. Reli-
able engineers have estimated the value
of ore In sight in the Skidoo at $3,000,-
900.
Skidoo's mines are progressing in
spite of the adverse criticism from the
outside, and this coming spring will
witness a veritable beehive of indus
try in that camp.
