in Rawhide. which is being worked by
j. c. Craine. opened up a two-foot vein
this last week on the 54-foot level.
which shows plainly the free gold
across it. New discoveries are made al
most every day on this valuable claim.
and 1T is predicted that the lease will
reap a large fortune from the proceeds
of rich ore, which they are now taking
out.
The Rawhide Mining company. which
owns the Last Chance claim. appears to
have one of the most promising proper
ties in the Rawhide district. The COM
pany has already established COM
plete assay Office on it's property and is
now in a position to make it's own as
SAYS and keep in close touch with de-
velopments. The company has also es-
tablished headquarters on the claim. and
last week the claim was surveyed fol
patent.
Plans and specifications for a new
mill are well under way and Manager
Codd states that he hopes TO have tn,
mill running within the next fou
months. Already a large body of mill
ing ore has been blocked out and tn
company feel justified in going righ

as president and manager. This block
of ground is situated between the

counter the same vein and possibly
richer ore bodies than those encountered
by the Kearns lease No. g.
Mr.. Codd has received information
from his superintendent in Rawhide that
they have already encountered a large
ore body and that every round of shots
bring the values up, and it is expected
open up one of the richest ore bodies yet
found in the Rawhide district.
The old stockholders in the st. Ives
Leasing company have exactly the same
interest in this lease as in the st. Ives
lease at Goldfeld. Mr.. Codd has always
stated that he would make good on this
leasing COMPANY. and he now says he
is going to stay with this company un-
til he makes 1t a dividend payer, and
the stockholders in the company will
receive a handsome profit on their stock
During the past week the st. Ives
leasing stock has been one of the most
active traders on the entire list. The
lease in Rawhide runs for three years
Mr.. Codd hopes to secure an extension
of time on his lease on the st. Ives ir
Goldfield when work will be started VI
on this lease also.

Supt. J. II. Schweble left for Rawhide
this week to take charge of the Raw
hide Daisy mine. Mr.. Schweble is one
OF the best known mining men in South
ern Nevada and has had charge of sew
eral of the big leases on the world
famous Mohawk. He has been in Nevada
since the early days of Tonopah and his
past record in mine making is proof of
his ability and success in developing
producing mines in record breaking
time. Mr.. Schweble has been given cart
blanche in the development of the Raw
hide Daisy and big force of men have
already been placed at work and pow
erful hoist and complete plant of ma
chinery will be installed at the earliest
possible moment. Judging from the
wonderful surface showing on the
Daisy with a true fissure vein traversing
the property shipping ore should be
opened up within the first 100 feet. No
time or expense will be spared in plac-
ing this mine in the shipping class
within the next 60 days.
