| coNsoLrDArED ANNEX.
side-Iining the Bald Hornet extension
and ID. and II. claims of the Consolidated
! group, the Rawhide Consolidated Annex
company is developing its recently ac-
quired fraction. This fraction is in the
very heart of the proven district and
under the efficient management of ia ,k
Flynn, ormerly superintendent of "
Mohawk and Combination mines at
Goldheid. This property should dis
gorge untold wealth to it's owners.
nAwKrDE HILLS.
III. ID. McMasters. a well known Gold
field operator. has a large force of men
working on the ground recently acquired
by him.. and Incorporated under the
name of the Rawhide Hills Mining COM
pany. There are SIS acres of ground in
the group. which lies in the vicinity of
the Royal and Tiger properties. and MFR.
McMasters is confident that he is own
er of one of Rawhide's bonanzas.
RAwHrDE MINES SYNDICATE.
One of the largest deals of the week.
! and for that matter. one of the largest
vet outlined In the Rawhide district. is
the organization of the Rawhide Mines
syndicate. a corporation. whose pur-
poses as outlined by the papers just
fled with the secretary of state. are TO
acquire. operate and hold mining prop
critics In the state of eva This
company has been organized by repre-
sentatives of large eastern capital, and
will he more in the line OF a holding
company than a mining company prop
erty. It's first acquisition is two blocks
of ground on the well known Owl One
claim of the Roseberry group. endlin-
ing the famous Stamp lease. which is
operated by the Owl One company. and
where last week the fabulous strike OF
a rocket of almost pure gold was made
by a chance shot in a temporary aban-
doned shaft, IL feet from the surface.
These two blocks also sideline the Flying
RYAN lease. where $4,000 ore was un-
covered about two weeks ago. The
company has outlined plans for an ag-
g~ressive campaign of development. A
shaft will be sunk on what Is belissed
to be the intersection of the two rich
lodges which are known to traverse that
portion of the Rawhide section. This
romises to be one of the big companies
of the Rawhide district.
BLUFF Ho0DLUH.
The shaft on the Bluff Hoodlum lease.
which is located on the Bluff claim. but
a short distance from the Last Chance,
has reached a depth of 80 feet. and is
already in pay ore. President Seamans
of the Bluff Hoodlum company was
called to Seattle the early part of the
week and on his return a hoist will be
installed with all other necessary me-
chanical apparatus, and the shaft will be
sunk to the 200-foot level. A station
will be cut at the 100-foot level, where
it is believed that the large ledge. which
gave such promising assays on the sur
face will be again encountered.
BABY BALLOON LEASE.
The baby Balloon lease on Balloon
hill. which is being operated by r. ID.
Cramer and Walter c. Clark, both old
time Goldfeld operators. is believed to
have the extension of the hurry ledge.
Three shifts of miners are working on
the property, a hoist has been ordered
| and there will be no cessation in de-
velopment work until the ground has
been thoroughly exploited. This prop
erty is believed to have one of the best
prospects on Balloon hill.
MURRAY LEASE TO SHIP.
The forces of miners employed on
Gruitt,, Balloon, Murray and Hooligan
hills have been increased materially
during the past week. Several new leases
have been started on Gruitt hill, while
on Balloon hill the ST. Ives, Kearns Nos.
1 and 2, and at the base of Balloon hill
the Big Four are showing added activity.
The Murray lease on Murray hill will,
within the next few days make a large
consignment of 1867 ore to the smelter.
! On the Consolidated all of the old leasers
are showing their confidence in the prop
erty by added men and equipment, and
new leasers are seeking to gain a foot
hold in this promising section of Raw
hide.
Within a few days saltwater Bill
Gates new mill on the fiat below town
will be operating full blast, being the
first mill to be put into operation in
the camp.
The Placer Brick Construction COM
pany is the name of an Incorporation
which has just been formed for the
purpose of manufacturing brick for
local use. The clay from which the
brick is to be manufactured holds the
modicum of the precious metal. so that
the assertion that gold bricks are being
manufactured in Rawhide is not without
some evidence of truth.
1AWXxDE's HNE1Ax WATERS.
Mining camp and health resort COM
bined Is a condition not often found on
the desert, yet Rawhid has this dis
tinction. Sanford G.. Dinsmore. state
chemist, was in Rawhide a short time
ago and took four samples of water
from the wells below town. to the de-
partment Of chemistry, where a thorough
analysis of the same was made. In his
report, Mr.. Dinsmore has the following
to say: This is one of the most Inn
portant groups Of mineral waters. As a
class these waters are used to stimulate
the secretions of the digestive tract.
neutralize superacidity OF the stomach.
increase metalism, dissolve uric acid,
correct acidity of the urine and dissolve
uric acid deposits. They are therefore
Of value in catarrahal conditions of the
mucous membranes, rheumatism. govt.
diabetes, etc" Naturally Rawhide's citi-
zens are elated over this fact. as bad
water has been one of the conditions
with which all the older Nevada mining
camps have been obliged to contend.
