RAWHIDE A PERMANENT CAMP

the-year promises at a number of prop
critics which were but prospects a short
fourmonth ago. The Kearns No. l and
Kearns No. 2 lease holdings on the
valuable acreage of the Rawhide Queen
Mining company have each arrived at
the dignity of a mine. There is every
neurological reason for predicting that
what has already been accomplished at
the Kearns Nos. / and . will very
shortly be duplicated at other points
on the Queen estate. What applies to
the Kearns in way of mine honors like
wise applies to the famous Miller lease.
to the Truett lease, the St. Ives lease
the Big 4 lease, the Murray lease, the
Stinson lease on the Royal Tiger. the
Grutt lease on the greatly gold enriched
estate of the Rawhide Coalition com
pany, the Reynolds Tanner lease on the
Poor Boy and the Lillian lease.
Various Leases
Over on Last Chance acreage A. A.
Codd of Goldfeld is in the near-mine
class, and is preparing to establish q
10-stamp mill for the reduction of ores
from that property and the st. Ives
lease. Dave III. Murphy and associates,
BtiittBdi hnOiutfc III tut I1Obuluti-
Bluff company, are likewise in the near
mine class. Murphy is also in pay at
his lease on the Guess 1t claim on
Hoodlum hill. The Grutt Hill Mint
company are mining, sacking and stor-
ing in underground cache ore having a
gold value of more than So the pound.
At the Car lease on the estate of the
Rawhide Syndicate Mines company the
miners are testing out a 15-foot ledge
of high grade quartz which is well i'm.
pregnated with. sulphides. The sui
phides obtain in the ore from surface
to deepest point of development. Much
of the rock is filed with gold in the
free. Several tons of high grade have
been sacked and are shortly to be
shipped to the small stamp mill recently
erected by "Swiftwater Bill'' Gates
on the fiat some four miles below the
TOWNSHIP. In this connection it is vel
to state that the plant recently treated
a small ore consignment from the
Truett lease with a reclamation OF
more than 81 per cent of its precious
metal contents.
Truett a Standby
This lease of Truett s on the Happy
Hooligan claim of the Coalition com
pany is one of the standbys of tho
camp, by the way. 1t has been pros
pected to a depth of 80 feet, and at
that level the ore body has beer cross
cut for Is feet. From the ledge there
exposed Is tons of ore have been mined
and milled at a net profit to the leasers
of $35 the ton. Shipping grade rock is
exposed in shaft No. 3 at a depth of
so feet and is being sacked. Nearly
600 sacks of the ore are now TERED OF
the dump awaiting opportunity for re-
duction. Adjoining the Truett lease
Tom Kearns has nearly 1000 ton OF
$40 ore piled up on dump at the Miller
lease. This output is to be held until
such time as the Kearns mill is an ac.
complished fact, when it will go to
stamp. Kearns anticipates that the
entire dump will net him better than
$50 the ton.
Wonderful Kearns Lease
At the Kearns No. ! lease the prospect
shaft has been sunk on an incline to q
depth of 125 feet and at hat level
| crosscut has been run out a length OF
40 feet without passing beyond the
limits of the ore. Every pound of this
rock will net the lessee a profit wher
adequate milling facilities are estab
lished locally. A new working medium
has been sunk to a depth of $50 feet
and is supplied with a capable hoistins
