VIII Renew Search for
HuiChiSOR Stevens

Joe Nenzel, the mining man, came
up from Jessup last Saturday evening
where he has been looking after his
mining interests in the new district.
Mr.. Mcneil accompanied by Charles
Stevens of Lovelock, Peter Stevens
of Salt Lake City and Samuel Stevens
o. Colorado Springs, left last Wed
nesday for the American Canyon min
ing district and they expect to be
absent for two weeks or more at
which time diligent search will be
made for Hutchinson Stevens, who dis
appeared from his camp in American
Canyon on the 6th day of December
last.
At the time Of Mr. Stevens dis,
appearance, searching parties were
sent out but owing to the heavy
snowfall in that section at the time
10 traces of the missing man could
be found, and the search was aban.
doned. During the past month the
weather has been very warm result
ing in melting thN nows in the noun
tains and a search will be made fol
the missing man before the rough
March weather sets in.
Hutch" Stevens, as he was famil-
iarily known among his friends, was
doing assessment work at American
Canyon Summit or December 9Th
Since that time he has not been seen
nor heard of and his disappearance is
shrouied in mystery. The brothers
and relatives have offered a reward
of Sl00 for any information that will
lead TO the missing mans discovery

The books have not been gone over
thoroughly and the amount supposed

discovered until a little more than a
month ago, and as others have been
in the employ of the company for the

Commencing on May 25th and con-

Square Garden, New York City, there
will be an International Minin.s Expo
sition. Commensurate with her i'm
portance as producer of the prec-

a space lo9&32 feet in which to make
suitable display of her ores. This
State Publicity commission is with
out funds and 50 far nothing has
been done to utilize this space. The
law provides that the expenses Of
the Commission in making exhibits
shall be met by contributions from
the various counties of the state and
from individuals.
The County Commissioners of each
county are authorized to appropriate
yearly the sum of $3.50 toward the
Publicity Commissions crusade

terest of legitimate mining. Each
mining district in the state has been
requested to toward to the Conmis-

to understand. 1t is reported that
the Commissioner from Lovelock is in
favor of the appropriation although
his aggressiveness in its behalf is not
expected to lessen the high esteem
in which he is hell in the north end

Geological opinion of the Jessup Mining
District written for the Tribune by
Joseph +. Nenzel.
The Jessup mining district is one
Of peculiar geological interest. Sep
arated from the Sierra mountains to
the west and soutl west by distance
Of less than $50 miles 1t possesses
many of the features of that great
uplift. by virtue Of its position
among the lower ranges of mountains
characteristic of those found m the
desert regions of Nevada, and the
structural features of the region and
the many excellent rock exposures,
its history may be interpreted with
considerable degree of ease, but as
time and space is limited this report
will be as brief as possible.
The district is situated within the
boundaries Of the Carson Sink. nearly
west of the Humboldt lake Struc-
turally. it is an eliipiical quaquayers-
al upllft, the more distinct features
Of which cover an area abaut 100
miles long, broken at intervals by
valleys between the ranges of noun
tains, the longer axis approximately
coinciding with the meridian bearing
to the northeast.
The prominent topographic fea
lures are high central basin of
granite and m5tamorphic rocks sur,
rounded in a concentric manner by q
prominent infacing escapement Of
porphyr,es, rhyolites. pbonolites and
basalt, the latter being the cap rock,
and not in a few instances has formed
prominent land marks.
Jessup Peak reaches an altitude of
about 1900 feet, the surrounding
plateau along the northern slope is
little more than $500 feet. On this
plateau and the lower hills the fir, t
discoveries of gold were made by
Murray and Jessup in the latter part
Of January of this year. Ga this
plateau the porphyries predominate
With quartz veins formed in all direc
lions against the black rbyollte intru-
sions The quartz is porphyritic and
in most every instance is accompanied
With either white, brown or green
tale. In panning either quartz or
tale small values may be expected,
but invariably increase in depth.
The phonolite and porphyry contacts
show good values on the surface
There may be much said of this dis
trict. Geologically it is one Of a
great future and much may be ex-
pected from it. Personally expect
it to be one of the best mining dis
trcts IN the state. Already several
leases have been let and active work
begun.

KINDERGARTEN
IN HIGH GRADE.
Picture Rock Uncovered Al
200 Foot Level.
Discovery One Of The Most Important
Ever Found In Property and CrC-
aieS Comment - Seven TrOughS
Mining Company Makes Shipment.

A strike which equals, if not sur
passes, any ever made in the Seven
Troughs district was made in the
kindergarten mine in the Seven
Troughs canyon the early part OF this
week. The new find consists of
three foot ledge and it is reported
that the values will run as high as
those found in the Mazuma Hills or
the Seven Troughs Mining comyany's s
properties. The new discovery is
very important an demonstrates very
clearly that the ore bodies are not
confined to enc locality in the big
district.
G. H. Ellethorp, superintendent Of
the Friedman properties, was in Love
lock Wednesday on his way to Reno
fora short visit. He confirmed the re-
port of the new find and added that
it was the best yet found in the Kin
dergarten. The discovery" Mr.
EIlethorp continued, was made in
what is known as the lower Wine.
The winze is few feet below the
200 foot level and at this point the
ledge shows fully three feet in width.
The significant part of the new dis
covery is the fact that the values are
not confined solely to one part of the
ledge but the gold is shot all through
the quartz. The formation wherein
the values are found is Identical with
that of the Fairvew but the gold is
much finer grain and is of much
better grade. Since the picture ore
was found considerable work has
been done in the Wine and thus far
the high values show all Indications
of permanency.
When asked about the new mill for
the kindergarten Mr. Elethorp said
that the frame work was practically
completed and was ready for the re-
ception of the machinery, which is
expected every day. The mill will be
in operation several days before the
expiration of the contract time.
Another important feature concer-
ming the Friedman properties which
was given out by Superintendent
Elethorp, is the fact that a number
of cars of ore are to be shipped from
the Fairview. The first wagon loads
came in from the mine Wednesday.
The first car will probably be sent
out tomorrow morning and will he
forwarded to the Salt Lake valley
smelters. There are about five car
loads stored in the drifts and cross
cuts at the different levels in the
mines and this will all be removed it
order to make room for further de-
velopment work which the manage.
ment intends starting at an early
date. The ore which is bang shipped
from the Fairveiw averages close to
$500 III gold and silver.

TIE DRAINAGE DITCH.

One the first page Of this issue
will be found a good drawing OF
Southern Bates County, showing
the big drainage ditch as it will
be when finished.
The main ditch will be over 10
miles long, from 60 to a 12O feet
wide, from ten to 20 feet deep,
and is being paid for by a direct
tax levyed on the owners Of land
in the drainage district. The
river in going across the county
is over so miles long.
The largest dredge boat is
located several miles east Of town
near Papinsville, and Is the larg-
est fat bottomed boat ever built
for the purpose. The dredge
working north of Rich Hill some
three miles. is smaller, but is a
monster itself. Another small
boat is digging the Miami lateral
shown in the drawing. and still
another boat is digging the small
laterals into the main ditch.
These huge dredge boats are
equipped with electric lights, and
other conveniences, so as to en-
able them to work at night as
well as day. Living boats are at
tached behind the dredges, and
in these the different gangs Of
workmen sleep and eat.
Compare this ditch with the
Panama canal and you find it.to
be over half as long, and almost
as wide.
The lines along each side Of
the river show the amount of
land over flowed by the river and
the ditch is expected to drain all
this, except in extraordinary big
overaows, when it will aid mater.
