SEVEN TRoUGHs, Nevada, Nay
26--The first mill run in the history Of
the Seven Troughs district was made
almost simultaneously at the Kinder
garten and Muzuma Hills plants in
Seven Troughs canyon, May 20, when
battery of five stamps was tested
at each place. As a result of the test,
both plants will be IN full operation
in few days and fully prepa,ca TO
make a continuous productive record.
The event of these mills beginning.
mencement of real productive mining
in Seven Troughs, followed by year
enlivened by two score high grade
, shipments from the infant boranzo
here The kindergarten mine has ex.
posed on the $50 foot level from 81
to go foot width of high grade milling
ore in one vein and in addition a
vast amount of high class milling ore
in the vein that has mada the property
famous for its remarkable picture rock
In the Mazuma Hills mine in aldi
tion to its remarkable high grade
shoots great bodies of milling ore
have been exposed froim the upper
tunnel to the bottom Of tho lower
winze OF to depth of 400 feet. One
face ON the lower wiuxc level is pfs5-
ducing twenty tons on milling ore par
day. The mills will havca comhih 1
capacity of sixty IONS day.
Important discoveries have been
made during the past few days on the
Muzuma Hills property and at the
Frye and Wihuja leases at Seven
Troughs, at the Van Wrinkle lease on
the Fine Gold near the Mazuma, Mt
the Harris leasea on the ground of the
Seven Troughs Mining company near
Vernon and on the Yellow Metal lode
property near Farrell. In the Mazu-
ma Hills mine three new bodies of
ore have been opened up. Two Of
these areon the lower winze level, full
ly five feet of milling ore and foot
Of high grade has been exposed. At
the Frye lease on the Therien estate
the operators are beginning to un-
cover punches of ore at depth OF
20 feet that assay as high as $4,000
a ton. At the Dihuja lease on the
Therien ground ore has been encount-
cred on the 300 level identical in APP
pearanceand fully as rich as the SEN
sational picture rock at the Kinder
garten mine adjoining the Wihuja
lease and on the same vein. The ore
consists of a white quartz literally
peppered with free gold and assaying
up to $4,000 ton. Van Wrinkle
brothers have opened up what appears
to be large body of milling ore at
the surface on the now famous Badger
Hill. The ore was the first substance
encountered after penetrating forty
feet Of wash. The new vein is six
hundred feet from the vein ON the
celebrated George and English lease.
At the Harris lease values have been
encountered at the bottom Of the shaft
at the 100 level. This is considered
significant as the shaft is in the
hanging wall of the great Seven
Troughs lode and the daily expecta-
tion is that the vein viii be entered.
From 200 to 400 feet south OF the
Harris lease the various drifts of the
Saven Troughs mine down to the 500
level, have, it is said, exposed fully
100000 worth of ore. Following
the discovery of phenomcnally rich
float on the Yellow Metal lode, Theo.
Parks, who owns the adjoining Santa
Ritas, has traced the float to its vein
source and has taken an option on the
property. This discovery is said to be
one Of the greatest in the history
of the camp, the vein having been
traced for more than 800 feet. 1t 10
believed that substantial streak OF
this ore body win average better than
$1,000 to the ton.
Machinery is being installed at an
unprecedented rate. Among the
hoists just intalled, in process OF con
struction or on the way, the hoists for
the following properties: The Bard
