crosscuts will be run to the lodges
after which drifting will be CON-
menced. @
The shaft on the DalzeA lease has
reached a depth of 20 feet and as
work progresses the values show a
decided increase, while the ledge
shows more compacthess and per-
manency. The Dalzell lease is located
on the Mabel B claim of the Jessup-
Murray property and is looked upon
as one of the best in the camp.
Messrs. Roder and Bradley, who
have acquired lease on the original
strike on the King Solomon claim of
the Jessup group, have commenced
sinking. The incline shaft, which is
now some 30 feet deep, will be con-
tinued to greater depth. The shaft
is being sunk along the footwall side
OF the ledge and at this point some
sensational paintings have been had.
The best values are not expected un-
til the ledge is opened on the hang
ing wall side, and az soon as tn
shaft reaches the proper depth a
crosscut will be run, at which time
something in the sensational line is
looked for.
The Bill claim which is located
just east of the townsite, and which
is owned by Richard Keyworth and
Walter Taylor, Is also attracting
MACK attention among the frater-
nifty in the new district. Work was
recently started on the Bill and at
depth of a very few feet, 5 foot
ledge was uncovered. The character
of the vein matter is similar to that
found in the Hopkins and Jessup
properties and reports are current
that the values run very high in gold.
The Bill claim joins the Bingo on the
west and it is thought the ledge just
uncovered is the continuation of the
one which outcrops so prominently
on the latter. Messrs. Keyworth and
Taylor propose sinking a deep shaft
and will commence work at an early
date.
Another important development
and one which proves that the values
are not confined to one particular
section of the district. is recent dis
coveries on the Wild Horse and Lone
Star claims, owned by Messrs. Bennett
and Green, and the Albatross and
Coming Heir, owned by Frank H.
Bird. All of these claims are sit
uated abor a mile west of the town
site and a each claim numerous
lodges have been opened up through
trenching. Several assays from the
various lodges of these properties
show average gold values of $40 to
the ton.

Returned From Sad Mission

F. |. Gunnell and Grant Gunnell
returned the fore part of this week
from Osceola, Neb. whittier they had
been called on account of the serious
illness of their father, Oliver Gunne II.
The Messrs. Gunnell had been notife d
by wire of the serious condition of
their father and they left for Me-
braska at once. They arrived at the
bedside of the afflicted one only few
hours before death claimed its VIC
tim. The following account of the
death of Oliver Gunnell appears in
the Osceola Record of March 10:
Oliver Gunnell was born al Reeds
burg, West Moreland County, Pa i,
May Is, 1926. He was the fourth
child of family of six children, five
boys and one girl. With ths excep-
tion of the sister all have preceded
him to the world beyond. His sister
now resides in Aurora. I'll. On Nov 7,
1850, he was united in marriage to
Harriet Rebekah Mitchell and to this
union were born nine children; two
have preceded him in death. Seven
remain with his dear wife to mourn
his loss. In 1852 they moved west
from Pennsylvania and located at
Rock Island, Ill. They removed from
Rock Island year or two later to
Moline, III. In 1866 while at Moline
he united with the Baptist church, of
which he was a faithful member till
death called for him. They removed
from Moline, ILL.,, to 0sceola, Neb., in
1879, where he resided until the time
of his death March ID, 1903, making
his age 81 years, 8 months and %
days. Mr.. Gumell was man of in
tegrity and high moral and Christian
attainments highly respected and be-
loved by all who knew him. In his
death the city has lost one of it's best
citizens, the community a highly re-
spected neighbor, the family kind
affectionate, loving father and hus-
band.

Clean Up the City

Now that spring has arriv ed and il
will only be few short weeks until
nature will garb the trees, lawns,
etc, in new attire, it is high time
something was done to beautify the
yards. alleys and streets to conform
with the appearance of Miss Spring
time. The principal alleys of the
town are in a deplorable condition
especially in sanitary way, and
should be cleaned up at once. Let
every business man and individual
residence property owner see to it
that his place is cleaned up, which
will not only result in beautifying the
appearance of the town but will main

New Bank will Open

The Lovelock Mercantile Banking
company announces through its ad,
vertisement in this issue of the
Tribune that it will open its doors on
Wednesday, April 1st, for the trans.
action of general banking business,
occupying for the present, offices with
the Lovelock Mercantile company in
the Mercantile building. The officers
and directors of the banking com.
pany are the same as those of The
Lovelock Mercantile company.
Owing to the increase of business
in the Lovelock valley during the
past year, and the prospective in
crease for years to come, Lovelock
needs more than one bank, and this
new company solicits share of the
banking business of this city. 1t
will adopt as liberal a policy as is
consistent with strict banking prin-
ciples, and should meet with success.

MILLIONAIRE

Seven TrOughs District One
Of the Best.
Prominent Mining Man Who AmaSSed
Fortune In G0ldfleld Pays High
Compliment to Seven Tr0ughs Dis.
trlct and Will Invest.

G. H. Hayes, the widely famed
mining man, who with associates
amassed great fortune in the Cold
field district, was in Lovelock for a
few hours last Tuesday on his way to
the Seven Troughs district, where he
will spend several days looking over
that great mining section. MIR. Hayes,
whose home is now in Los Angeles,
has been making tour of Nevada in.
specting his many mining interests
and before coming here he visited
bis property at the lbex Springs near
the Nevada California line.
Il am going to the Seven Troughs
district" said Mr.. Hayes in an inter
view with Tribune repre- sentative,
for the purpose of looking over the
country and with a view of making
investments. To what extent will
invest cannot say as yet. My en-
gineers have been in that section for
some time and they have examined
several properties and have reported
favorably.
"What do | think of the district? I?
| have visited the Seven Troughs
country on two previous occasions.
and while my time was limited, saw
enough and gained enough knowledge
to convince me that it is by far one
of the best districts in the state of
Nevada today. The district has been
neglected and if its true merits were
properly put before the investing
public, it would be enjoying a boom
equal to any in the state"
In speaking of his interests at Ibex
Springs Mr.. Hayes stated that he
was more than pleased with what he
had seen. The property is only re-
cent acquisition Of the big mining
man, but Notwithstanding this fact, a
45.ton shipment of $500 ore has al
ready been made. Another consign-
ment is nearly ready and Mr.. Hayes
says conditions at the mine will JUS
tify the assertion tiat regular ship
ments will be feature from now on.
"The lbex Springs country is new
and has never been given much pub
licity." concluded Mr.. Hayes, but it
has all the ear-marks of developing
into bonanza and it is safe to say
that sooner or later it will occupy a
prominent position in the production
of the precious metals

LOveI0cker Praises JessuD

''The Jessup district, which is now
attracting so many mining men and
investors, is a dandy, and it is my
candid opinion that the new section
will sooner or later prove the equal
of any yet discovered in Nevada. y
The above was the expression of
Manager George Wood of McIntosh's
Department store. when asked what
he thought of the country after his
recent visit there. 1t was Mr.. Woods
second visit, the first being soon after
the first discovery and he admits that
he was dumbfounded at the great ad
vancement made in so short time.

STRIKE, STR k ;; PICTURE ! ROCK
ON HOPKINS i H PROPERTY
Nat c. Goodwin Company, Which Recently Ac-
.qulred Valuable Property, Encounters Sen
SatiOnd Values Near Surface Unusual AC.
tiViy Throughout Entire District.

A strike which surpasses any ye,
made in the Jessup district and one
which has all the ear marks of equal
ling any yet found in the state for
the same amount of development
work, was made on the Hopkins
property near the town of Jessup on
Wednesday of this week. According
to reports, which are absolutely re-
liable, a l2-inch stringer of quartz
has been disclosed which carries gold
values running into the thousands of
dollars. The entire vein is literally
alive with the yellow metal and speci-
mems as large as the hand have been
taken from it which show band of
gold a quarter of an inch in width
running entirely through the rock,
No assays have been had but conser-
vatives estimate the average for the
IL inches to be close to $4,000. The
Hopkins property was bonded recent
ly by the Nat G. Goodwin company
and work was just started when the
Jewel box" was broken into.
M. A. Macfarlane, who is associated
with Lovelock parties in the new
camp, was in town yesterday and
confirmed the report of the new find.
In giving a report he said: THE new
find was uncovered about $50 feet
northeast of the original strike made
on the Hopkins property. Where
the new shaft was started the four
foot ledge showed average values of
500 in gold on the surface. At a
depth of four feet values as high as
$107 were obtained and at six feet
the entire ledge, barring the high
grade streak, carries gold to the tune
of several hundred dollars to the ton.
Sacking has commenced and if con-
ditions continue to improve high
grade shipment will be ready for the
market in q very few days. The
strike il very important and proves
beyond q doubt that gold in large
quantities IS to be found in the new
district"
Mr.. Macfarlane stated to a Tribune
man that the district presented a
very lively appearance and that a
great deal of development work was
being accomplished. Morrison & Com
pany, operating a lease on the King
Solomon claim of the Jessup- Murray
group. have completed arrangements
to sink 100 foot shaft and active
work will be commenced the early
part of the coming week. Two
strong parallel lodges have been
opened by trenches on this block of
ground and it is intended to start the
shaft midway between the two veins.
When the 100 foot level is reached

District TO Be Advertised.

The many visitors to Lovelock and
the Seven Troughs district and the
many inquiries conce rning the district
have made it necessary TO systemati-
cally provide ways and means to in
form the constantly growing number
ofinquirers upon the wonders of that
camp. To the end that this general
demand for more information be met,
a most enthusiastic meeting of the
Lovslock Commercial Club was held
at the school house last Monday
night.
A bureau Of information with SINH
lar purpose to that of the Lovelock
Commercial Club was recently organ
lied in the Seven Troughs district.
Judge Frank Egan of Vernon and
Clinton D. Ray of Seven Troughs
were present at the meeting of the
Lovelock Club, representing the
Seven Troughs district organization.
Judge Egan was called upon and ably
responded explaining the purposes of
the district organization mentioned,
and telling the story of the wonder
full progress of that great camp.
Prof. Ray also addressed the meeting
and in his clear and forceful manner
discussed the mineral resources of
the mines of Seven Troughs. These
two gentlemen brought with them an
invitation to the members of the
Lovelock Commercial Club and the
citizens of Lovelock generally to be-
come members of the Seven Troughs
Publicity Bureau, and upon a recess
being taken to permit those present
to join, large number was added to
the list.
To the end that the purposes men,
toned above, of both organizations
be carried out, $273 was subscribed
and paid to the secretary.
A general discussion of the in
dustries and interests of both COM
munities then followed in which many
members participated, mention being
made chiefly of the great Seven
Troughs district and its marked and
permanent growth,a growth that has
been unheralded by flourish of BAN
ners.and blare of trumpet, but that
has come about strictly and entirely
on the merits of the camp.
Upon request of the Seven Troughs
Club two members of the Lovelock
Club were appointed to act with a
similar committee from the Seven
Troughs district in furnishing infor-
nation concerning the mining district
that its mining opportunities may be
brought prominently before the pub
lie. L. G. Campbell and George
Webb were named by the Lovelock
Club as such committee.
Enthusiasm was rife at the meet
ing and the utmost goodwill and
good fellowship prevailed.

]. A. Stewart, a prominent bust
ness merchant of Stockton, Cali
fornia, and president of the Stewart
Mining company operating in the
Jessup district, passed through Love-
lock last Monday en- route to his
home in California. Mr.. Stewart has
been in the Jessup district for. the
past ten days looking after his in
terests and to say that he is more
than pleased with the future outlook
of that section is putting it lightly.
'This was my second visit to the
Jessup district" said Mr.. Stewart to
a Tribune man, "and the more | see
of it the more strongly become con-
vinced of its greatness. While it is
true the camp is an infant and not a
great deal Of work has been done as
yet, the showings thus far had are
remarkable. Active work has started
by numerous big companies and leas-
ers and within the next few weeks
some sensational developments are
looked for.
Work on our property is progress
sing rapidly and the shaft has reach
ed a depth of more than 10 feet. We
are following the ledge and at The
present depth the vein shows across
the bottom of the shaft, and how
much wider it is is not known. Lum
Der, mining supplies, etc, have been
ordered and when they arrive on the
ground and improvements made, de.
velopment will commence in earnest
and nothing will be left undone to
open up the property in the shortest
time possible"
Mr.. Stewart said that some sensa
tional assays had been obtained from
the workings on his property, but de-
clined to give any figures, preferrins
to wait until further work had beef
done, He stated, however, that th'
big ledge had been thoroughly sam
pied and that six sacks of the or
we're being expressed to the Selb
smelters at San Francisco. This or
will undergo a thorough test whicI
will determine the policy Of treat
ment.
j Mr.. Stewart in conclusion said tina
all location work had been completes
and the property surveyed and wa
in ship-shape for the work whic
will be carried out on an elaborat
scale.
