MINING NEWS FROM ALL DISTRICTS
OIL DERRICK NEAR BLAIR

The big derrick for the Bay State Oil
company is finished and readily distin-
guishable from the town. 1t is a huge
affair standing "a feet in the air and
consumed several thousand feet of tim
Der in its construction. The maehin-
cry is all on the ground and being
placed in position as rapidly as possible
The hammer for the drill is a ponder
Gus bit of material, weighing complete
5000 pounds, and with its drop of six
feet should strike a powerful blow. The
company starts out with 1,500 feet of
cable, but does not anticipate having
to pay it all out before striking oil.

OLD MINE REHABILITATED

Another old mine on the Comstock,
the Crown Point at Gold Hill, is being
rehabilitated. This makes two famous
bonanza mines in operation there
Crown Point and Yellow Jacket. In
Virginia City the Chollar, Consolidated
Virginia and Ophir are producing stead
lily, and the Ward and Union are in ac-
tive operation. The Comstock is seeing
a brighter day and represents a more
favorable outlook for the future than in
many years. Every month the actual
output of the Comstock reaches many
thousands of dollars.

SHIPPING TO SHELTERS

The Nevada United Mines company,
of Denver, operating at Ward, White
Pine county. is shipping twenty ears of
ore a month to one of the Salt Lake
shelters. The ore is a sand carbonate,
carrying 10 to Is per cent excess in iron
and assaying from 40 to 80 per cent lead
and about six ounees in silver to the
ton. The vein is twenty feet wide-all
pay rock-and the ore is shipped with
out sorting. 1t is highly probable that
the company will begin dividend pay
ments at an early date. The officers and
directors of the company are w. J.
Chamberlain, president; T. b. Doan,

COPPER ORE AT DEPrH

A late report from Superintendent s.
s. Bentz, of the Nevada Douglas mine
in the Yerington district, conveyed the
information that the drift on the $50
foot level had broken into a fine body
of chalcocite. While the strike was not
entirely unexpected, it is most crafty
ing to the Douglas management. This
body is the same as was followed for
over 500 feet on the 550-foot level, and
proves the continuation of this remark
able shoot to the lower level. The
Douglas is developing into one of the
biggest copper propositions in the state.

NEW DISTRICT IN THIS
COUNTY rs ACTIVE ONE

The camp of Douglass, in the Gold
Range mining district, about seven
miles southwest of Nina, is taking on
new life as a result of the interest now
being taken by outsiders, and the COM
ing winter promises more activity for
this section than it has ever before ex-
perienced, says the Denver Mining
Record.
A second shipment of bullion, COM
prising 81 pounds of gold, has just
been made from the cyanide mill at
Douglass
Herbert Towers is engaged in run
ming a tunnel in on a vein of fine free
milling gold ore. A depth of 300 feet
has been attained and the ore body has
maintained it's value and size the whole
distance. A winze is also being sunk,
and, according to Mr.. Towers, the
values range from $25 to $4,000 a ton.
A. w. Curtis is sinking a double
compartment shaft upon the Fortuna
claim and the entire bottom of the shaft
is in excellent milling ore. A hoist has
been installed here and it is possible to
exploit the property at considerable
depth.
Mr.. Brown, the owner of the Hard
scrabble group, has just let a contract
to sink a new shaft, the other shaft,
which was down for more thai 450 feet
having been ruined beyond repair. by a
heavy ~eloudburst recently.
Two new companies have been or
ganized to operate in this district, hay
ing acquired several promising prop
critics.
F. D. Bale and associates are develop
ing the Independence group, which is
an extension of the Douglass Gold Min
ing company's ground upon which work
is to be prosecuted in a vigorous man
ner shortly.
The Wheeling Gold Range Mining
company, composed of Virginia parties,
has opened up several large copper
veins upon the Cleopatra claim. One of
these veins is 20 feet in width and
shows FIVE feet of ore that averages $61
in gold, silver and copper.
The Rock Point property is soon to
be the scene of considerable activity
and several others are soon to enter the
busy list.

E E SHAFT

NJ. McAulty and J. l.. Moore, owning
the First Chance group of sixteen
claims in Dolly Warden district, in the
southern portion of Elko county, are
developing the same by means of a
shaft which has reached a depth of 260
feet. This shaft was sunk in a fiat de-
posit of iron, and the bottom is in an
iron porphyry formation, in which there
are occurrences of high grade copper
ore. The owners of the Last Chance,
with more development, confidently ex-
pect that they will open up one of the
largest copper mines in Nevada.

LARGE MILL GRADE VEIN

The Pick and Cad mine, located two
and a half miles west of Cherry Creek,
and adjoining the noted Mary Ann
property, is being developed by means
OF a tunnel at the present time. This
valuable and promising ground, in
which a ive-foot vein of $12 free mill
ing gold ore is exposed, is owned by J.
T. Callaghan, John R. Howard and
Charles Waugh.

EXCELLENT REPORTS ARE
COMING FROM BUCKSKIN

The reports from the camp at Buck
skin are of the best. 1t is certain that
the people there are sure they have a
camp or the activity being displayed
would not be. There are new mines be-
ing developed and old workings start
ing up. The old excitement has also
reached that camp and they think they
have as good a showing as any of them.
The Kennedy Consolidated started up
the 9th with w shifts composed of 80
men. They are doing nothing but de-
velopment work, but the ore taken ont
in doing this work runs about $50 to
the ton in gold. The shaft was down
about 100 feet when they began work
this time but they are going to put it
much deeper before they begin taking
out ore in earnest.
The Albany Copper company also put
on two shifts the 9th, working IL men.
This property had been closed down for
some time, so this is an absolute gain to
the pay roll of the camp. This company
has a very large body of low grade cop
per and those who have examined 1T
speak very highly of it.
The oil lands are now being located
within two miles of the town, and they
think they have the best showing of any
of them in the fact of finding the great
er amount of indications, oil sands, fos-
! sill bone, etc, in the shale and many
other indications that their oil men tell
them are of the best. The original oil
find was eight miles southeast Of the
town.

INSPECT

Frank Tester. Harry Tibtctts and f..
A.. Stauts have returned from a short
visit to Chafey, says the Loveloek Re
view. These gentlemen with associates
recently acquired the Sunnyside group
of claims adjoining the Chafey prop
erty. They report conditions very fiat
tering on the Sunnyside. The shaft is
down 16 feet and at this point a foot of
1925 ore has been exposed. Two regular
shifts are employed and the owners in
tend to sink the shaft to the 50-foot
point with al possible haste, after
which prosecuting will commence.

LEASES AT KLONDYKE

Senator Bell has let five leases on his
property at Klondyke mountain, the +
claim of the original Klondyke property.
The leases are two years. The f has a
quartz ledge from which shipping ore is
sacked on the surface. As stated a few
days since a German leaser has been
operating there for seven years and in
six months shipped six tons of high
grade b. the value of $4,000 which rep
resents his W labors only.

A BOOST FOR GARFIELD

The Blue Light Copper company s
shaft is now down 700 feet, says b. f.
Baker of Nina. They have ore located,
but the idea is to get water and then
crosscut. The richest deposition of cop
per ores is usually at water level. The
Blue Light will get plenty of ore all
right. The Garfield Mines are getting
a profitable grade of lead and silver
ore. 1t is a good district all around,
for copper, silver, lead and gold.

ANOTHER GOOD RIK

A letter from Chafey states that
Henry c. Reich has located what seems
to be another big strike about one and
a half miles west of the famous Black
Hole property. No details were given
as to the width of the vein and size of
the pay streak, but samples of the ore
sent to the Union assay Office at Salt
Lake City gave values of s134.15 to the
ton. Work has been started on the new
find and if it is proved that the ore
BODY is permanent the ore will be
shipped to the smelter.

STRIKE AT

A big strike in the Hole Gard prop
erty, at B~lackhorse, has greatly stimu-
lated the interest in that camp. The
find was made in a 15-foot shaft, the
bottom of which is all in ore that pans
exceptionally well. The Hole Card IS
owned by Boone Tilford, an old pioneer
of the district, and by the Stephens
estate, and is directly across the gulch
from the famous San Pedro property.

NEVADA UNITED SHIPPING

Eight four-horse teams are engaged
in hauling ore from the Nevada United
mines at Ward to Ely for shipment to
the Salt Lake smelter. The ore comes
from the strike made about five weeks
ago on the 1S0-foot level in the new
shaft which the company has been sink
ing for some months and is high grade
lead, carrying good silver values.

RUNNING cRossCUT TUNNEL

John Andregg, of the Andregg- Kayler
lease located on the Golden Treasure
claim near Vernon, was in Lovelock
Monday. Mr.. Andregg states that a
crosscut tunnel is being run on his prop
erty with a view to cutting the vein.
The tunnel is now in $50 feet and it is
thought the vein will be tapped within
a distance of 80 or 40 feet.-Loveloek
