SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT
IS MAKING GREAT SHOWING

district nave just completed, or are now
having, mill runs. Probably more than
that number would be hauling ore today
if milling facilities could be had. BY
spring with at least two more mills IN
operation Seven Troughs win have the
biggest output of any of the newer
camps in the state.
The kindergarten mill has just com
pleted a 80 shift run on kindergarten
ore and the results obtained, when peo-
pie know them, cannot fail to stimulate
activity in every property in the dis
trict.
The ore which was run through the
mill was not of a class usually denom-
mated high grade. From less than 200
tons of rock, bullion of the approximate
value of $4,000 was extracted. As
says of the tailings show that fully 80
per centum of the values was saved.
The kindergarten mill is now running
on Wihuja ore that goes from $l7o to
5000 per ton. This viii undoubtedly
be the largest run so far made in the
district.
The Mazuma Hills mill on Tuesday
sent out the bullion obtained from it's
last clean up. While the run was com
p~aratively small in point of tonnage
yet the rich character of the ore more
than compensated for the amount.
From a twelve days run between sl0,-
900 and $4,000 worth of bullion was
taken from less than 100 tons of ore.
The ore was from the Mazuma Hills
mine and wal probably the richest ever
put through the mill. The check made
after the cleanup has proved eonein-
sively that the mill can handle this
grade Of ore satisfactorily.

ment made was very encouraging, and
even better than expected.
The Kraft Lease
The A. j. Kraft lease on the Mo
hawk Fraction continues to show up
well. The shaft has been started to the
north of the two parallel veins which
are dipping in a northerly direction.
They hope to tap the two veins at 80
and $50 feet.
Working Gold Coin
Work has been resumed by the An
derson brothers on the Gold Coin. Two
shafts have been sunk to a depth of 35
and so feet. In the 35-foot shaft the
ore has been encountered, and ore is be-
ing sacked for shipment.
Willow Creek Combination
President G. G. Newcomb, of the
Willow Creek M. G. M. company, which
corporation is leasing on the Grand
Central group, was in the city last
week. He stated that the company will
install a hoist upon the property at an
early date. He expressed himself as
much impressed with the showing and
with the district in general.
Mitchell and Lothrop
Crosscutting is in progress on the
1OO-foot level of the Mitchell & 10th
rop lease on the Lime Point No. 6. The
crosscut is out 120 feet and it will re-
auire about 40 feet of additional work
to reach the ledge.
The Mizpah Lease
At the Mizpah lease, drifting is in
progress both ways On the ore from
the bottom of the shaft. The ore is
about three feet in width and assays in
the neighborhood of $50 a ton. The
values are principally in gold.
Grand Central No. 2
Barber, Doll and Stangle lease or the
Grand Central No. 2 has cut the pay
streak in the east drift on the 100-foot
level. The vein measures about is
inches in width and assays show that
the ore will run in the neighborhood of
800 a ton. The shipment made re-
Gently from this lease returned a hand
some profit, and work is being pushed
to make this a regular producer.
Silver King Mine
In the Silver King main workings,
drifts and crosscuts are being run on
the 200 level. Good values are ex-
posed in the drift and the ledge is ex'
pected to be tapped in the erosscut in
a few days.

average $12 TO $14. Smith and Nc
intyre, who lave this property rndor
lease and bond were in Goidfeld last
week making arrangements for a mill
TO treat this ore body.
Work on Leases
The Train-Stevenson Mcnamara lease
ia better than ever. The tunnel 10 now
IN $50 feet. The ore shoot has been
lrifted on for thirty feet, showing a
face of two feet of ore, six inches of
which is worth 5000 to the ton.
A raise has been started on the ore
shoot and is up eight feet with ~ feet
of ore in the face of the raise worth
close to $1,000 to the ton in gold. The
rich ore shoot is increasing as the raise
advances.
The Shea lease on Union 3, in addi-
tion to the continuance of the high
grade streak he has been working, has
opened up lh feet of ore that uns
from 500 to $3.50 per ton.
Milo Plamenaz has his incline shaft
down on his lease ON the eMrger ground
so feet in ore of a milling grade all the
way, of from 1H to four feet in width,
while now at the bottom of the shaft
he has eight feet Of good ore.
Fower Question Settled
The perplcxing question of power for
the mills of Manhattan appears to be
definitely solved, and with the increased
interest already manifested in the camp
the future is certainly bright.
The Nevada-C California Power COM
pany, which supplies power, light and
heat for Southern Nevada, has com-
pleted three of it's units with a capacity
of 23,000-horse power, and has started
on the construction of it's line to Man
haitian and Round Mountain.
Indian Camp Strike
In the shaft, at a depth of rs feet ON
the Indian Camp ground, a 4-foot ledge
was opened up Saturday, that will pan
$50 to the ton. At a depth of II feet
the ledge was first encountered, but it
was small and the values not very high.
As sinking progressed the ledge widen
ed, and now is looking most promising.
Frank Peterson, who holds a longtime
lease on the Indian Camp, is very much
elated over the new discovery, and is
contemplating increasing the force of
miners in the mine.

WEEKLY RESUME OF WORK
IN THE MINES OF TONOPAH

The Tonopah company sent 300 tons,
the Belmont company 500 tons, the
Montana onopah CPS tons, the Mid.
way 100 tons, the MacNamara $50 tons
West End 100 tons, and Jim Butler $50
tons to the mills, making the total ship
ments for the week to the mills 5.s25
tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was 5,325 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued at
500 a ton and the milling ore at s25 a
tom of s133,125.
Tonopah-B Belmont
The center of interest among the
mines of Tonopah is still directed to the
operations on the lower levels of he
Belmont mine, especially the 1,1OO-foot
level, where a large body of milling ore
was recently encountered. The work of
opening up this big body of quartz is
necessarily slow, and a weeks progress
makes but little showing. The cross
cut from the east drift which passed
through 80 feet of quartz and struck
what was then supposed to be the hang
ing wall has been advanced % feet and
is still in vein material and is con-
stantly encountering big punches of
milling ore and stringers carrying very
good values, but owing to the broken
up nature of the ground no solid vein
in place has been found as yet. While
the punches and segments of the vein
already cut will produce a good tonnage
of milling ore, the management is very
anxious to find the ledge in place and
every effort is being put forward with
that object in view. That there is an
enormous ledge somewhere in the vicin-
ity of the present workings is proven
by the fact that one segment of the vein
showed a width of 3S feet. In addition
to this work, important operations are
being carried on from No. 8 west drift
on the 1,000-foot level, which was sent
along the hanging wall of the Mizpah
fault and which exposed an excellent
body of ore.
Montana onopah
The usual activity is noticeable
Throughout the working of the Montana
mine, where a large amount of develop
ment and prospecting work is going on.
This work is not being confined to any
particular section, but is being carried
along on all levels. In the prosecution
of this new work several finds of i'm
p%ortance were made during the past
week, two of which occurred on the first
or 390-foot level, where the west drift
encountered a new shoot of ore about
800 feet west of the shaft, the face ex-
posing 2 feet of good grade milling ore,
and the south crosscut, 400 feet west Of
the shaft, succeeded in cutting the
faulted block of the ore shoot which
was lost in the east, the face being full
of oxidized ore of good grade. Still
another good streak of high grade ore
was encountered this week in the raise
from the top of the stope from the 400
foot level, which seems to correlate

with the ore body found on the level
above, but which has not yet been de-
veloped. If this should be the same
vein it will give IN ore shoot fully $50
feet long. At other points in the mine
improvements are noted which are very
encouraging to the management. Dur
ing the week a total of 106 feet of new
ground was broken. At the mill every
thing is running along smoothly, the re-
markable record being made of an ex-
traction of 91k per cent on a run of
1,040 tons of ore, AIS of which came
from the MacNamara mine.
Tonopah Mining
After %suspending operations in the
Mizpah shaft for over a week in order
to watch the progress of the water
which appeared in the bottom, an ex-
animation made last Thursday showed
that the water had made no p%erceptible
raise, there being but a foot in the bot
tom. A drill hole sent down IA feet
during the week failed to show any
further flow of water, consequently the
management does not look for any
serious trouble from this source and
sinking will be resumed shortly. From
all appearances the shaft has reached
the water level of the district, though
il will take further work to determine
the fact. During the temporary sus-
pension of sinking, a south crosscut is
being sent out from the 1,200-foot sta
ton to do a little prospecting. This
crosscut is out IS feet, the face still
showing daeite. During the week ex-
%cellent progress was made in the sew
eral crosscuts and drifts, a total of
444H feet of new ground being broken,
305 of which were in the Mizpah and
Red Plume claims and 1897 in the Sill
yer Top claim. The drill hole, which is
being sent down from the 740-foot
level of the Silver Top claim has
reached a depth of 154 feet, an advance
of 81 feet since last report, the bottom
showing no change in the formation.
MacNamara
The changes noted last week, where
by an increased amount of air was to
be obtained from the T%onopah Exten-
sion Mining company for power to run
more machine drills, have been COM
pleted and six machine drills are now
being operated in the mine night and
day, four of which are on ore bodies
and the other two on development work.
Owing to the size of the ore bodies in
the MacNamara mine it is much cheap
err and better to use machines, conse-
quently all hand drilling has been dis
pensed with. This has necessarily re-
duced the working force considerably,
while the output is fully up to the gen
eral, thus making quite a saving to the
company. Throughout the workings the
ore bodies are showing up in fine form,
being stronger in the backs of the
slopes and faces of the drifts than at
any time in the history of the mine. At
several places in the property there are
good bodies of ore which are not being

WORKING THREE SHIFTS

The Red Hills L. 4 NJ. company,
which has a lease on the Red Hills, is
driving with three shifts through a
likely looking ledge at a depth of $50
feet. Some pay ore has been encoun-
tered, but not in quantities sufficient to
ship.

returns are highly satisfactory.
Silver Pick to Begin Work
Work is to be started at once by the
Silver Pick Consolidated M. & L.. com
pany on block Z of the Deyling claim
of the Silver King Mining company s
estate, Just west of the Great Western.
1t is announced that work will be done
upon an extensive scale.
The company has taken hold of this
block with almost positive assurance OF
success. The previous %leasers, who
were unable to continue work on ac-
count of lack of funds, did enough work
on the 100 level to show the Silver Pick
people what may be expected If the
work is continued to the 200 level. The
Silver Pick company will sink from the
100 to the 200 level, at which depth 1T
is thought the formation will be in place
and the ore of a shipping quality.
j. NJ. Russell, manager of the Silver
King company, stated to the Herald
that on the 100 level, three and one
half feet of ore was opened that showed
average values of $26 a ton, and that
the ore was opened for $50 feet by
drifting on the north side and 100 feet
on the south side. He is confident that
the Silver Pick people will find the ore
- non lo.xal af ha4far cya1ifv and
of greater proportions.
Much of the ore upon the dump shows
free gold, and altogether the lease looks
very promising.
The lease is now equipped with a
within, but it is expected that a gasoline
hoist will be installed.
Redemption Mining Co.
Messrs. Cameron and Keenan,, on the
Redemption Gold Mining & Milling
c~ompany's property, have cut the ledge
on the 200-foot level, showing a vein OF
about seven feet of lcad-zinc ore,
which will average close to $40 a ton
This shoot of ore has been opened up
for IS feet. They are now saeking ore
for a shipment.
!, Sacking Ore
An excellent strike of ore is re
ported on the international No. 4, one
mile east of Hornsilver. Fifty sacks
have been filed from a five-foot hole
and an assay of the stuff gave returns
of sos in silver, lead and gold. Two
high grade streaks are present in thu
prospect hole. One streak is about
inches in width and the other 6 inches

West End Consolidated

During the past week several i'm.
provements have been made on the sur
face neal the No. 2 shaft, the principal
one being the building of coal bunkers
with a capacity of over 100 tons. These
hunkers will be kept full of coal and
held in reserve in case of a shortage of
fuel. The new ore bins recently com
pleted have been filled with ore, and
from now on all shipments will be made
from these bins, which are constructed
along most modern lines. Much devel-
opment work is being carried on
throughout the mine, especially on the
40O-foot level, where the big body of
quartz is being opened up by several
raises from the east drift. On the 200
foot level important developments are
looked for very soon, as the west lateral
drift has now reached a point where 1t
may break into ore any day, in fact
the face at present shows spots and
punches of good ore.

touched, being held in reserve, as it
takes but little energy to keep the pres
emit shipment up.
Midway
The work done in the Midway mine
during the past week shows no partie-
ular change, although considerable new
ground has been broken. The princi-
pal portion of the prospecting work is
still confined to the southern portion
of their holdings, where they are send
ing out crosscuts in search of new ore
bodies, the ground %traversed being
mineralizcd and showing a net work of
stringers of ore, the most of which
carry fair values. The slopes on the
various levels are producing the regular
amount of ore, the shipments for the
past week amounting to 100 tons, carry
ing values far in excess of the ordinary
milling ore.
Tonopah Extension
Work on the lower levels, which was
suspended recently pending the cutting
out of a station and starting a crosscut
at the 35-foot point in the shaft, was
resumed this week and the old force is
gradually being put back to work. The
crosscut on the 35-foot level, after be-
ing sent north about 40 feet, has been
turned and is now being run west under
meath the big mill dump. Raises will
soon be sent up to tap the second graie
ore which has been accommodating .or
months on the surface, and ii will be
sent to one Of the local mills for treat
ment. 1t is estimated that there are
about $4,000 tons on the dump. On the
400-foot level the south crosscut, about
100 feet west of the shaft, is being sent
ahead to open up this block of territory.
The face is now out about 200 feet and
is in a very good-looking p%orphyry. On
the 770-foot level work has been re-
sumed in the face of the west drift
from the main north crosscut. Thig
drift is following the big body of quartz
encountered by the crosscut some time
since.
