Placer UOrk
Results UeH

At Hogum, three miles southwest
of Osceola. placer workers are meet
ing with good success, according to
reports received in the city during
the week. On two placer properties
good channels of gold bearing gravel
have been entered recently and are
being mined with success at present.
The properties are the Gold Bar
Placer company, controlled by DR..
Richardson, Mr.. Gaby. and Cohen
brothers and associates, who own the
claim adjoining the Gold Bar on the
east.
On each of the properties named at
comparatively shallow depth gravel
channels yielding well to each yard
worked have been found. Water for
the operation of the two is supplied
by the ditch of the old Osceola
Gravel company.
In Osceola proper, while plans are
being laid for resumption of de-
velopment on several of the prop
critics only one is being worked with
any show of activity at present. This
is the Half Moon which is in the
heart of the town. A tunnel being
run to cut the ledge is now 700 feet
in with fair showing.
1t is believed that the Osceola
district is due for boom during the
summer. All that has hitherto kept
it down was the i'll advised manage
ment of investors who bought water
rights and ranches with money which
had better have been put in the
ground.

Discovery of a gold bearing ledge
a foot wide and uncovered for length
of 80 feet, carrying values varying
from $500 to 1900 to the ton, Is
reported from the Blackhorse mine,
the original working of the Black
horse district. A result has been
much excitement among the people
of the Black horse district. while the
discovery promises to place its owner,
Tom Watkins, in the millionaire
class in event there is as much of
the gold bearing quartz as there now
appears reason to expect. Report of
the above was brought in by Sheriff
Davis on his return during the week
from the district.
The strike was made last week

AN IMPORTANT ASSEMBLAGE
Gathering of Governors LUiH Discuss
Matters Uide in Their Range

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The
conference of governors of states
which President Roosevelt has called
drew Carnegie, James J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern railroad:
John Mitchell, and others. All the
subjects TO be discussed are grouped
under the general head of natural
resources" each to be presented by
experts.
The plan of the conference. il is de-
clared, makes it plain that the key
note will be the necessity for COOP
erations in conserving the country's
natural resources. The program has
been arranged in such a way, it is
pointed out, as to lead to a discus
sion of the unity of American inter,
ests and the interdependence of the
county's industries. Its purpose will
be to show that the governors and
other delegates representing all the
states, have common interest in
natural resources with the president
and the federal government. and that
the so. national organizations which
will be represented have a common
interest, not only with one another,
but also with the federal authorities
The conference will take up first
the transportation question After
listening to the reading of a paper
bv James ]. HILL the delegates will
discuss the relations between rail and
water transportation. They will 90
particularly into the present capacity
of the railroads and the cost of max
ing extensions to meet the demand of
new and increasing business.

delegates will consider the necessity

In the Granite

A promising vein carrying gold
values averaging $35 to the ton was
discovered Tuesday evening on the
Charlotte claim of the Grace Gold
group, after several weeks of search
for the ledge, which was traced from
float. An open cut made on the
ledge for short distance shows it
to average foot in width.
News of the strike was brought to
Ely by G. II. rlace, representative of
J. A. Place of Salt Lake and A. A.
Shell, who are at present stopping
here for a few days.
The vein is described by Mr.. Place
as true fissure in porphyry and
rhyolite contact and is apparently of
the same character of ore as that
of the Alvan. 1t is heavily shot with
hematite of iron, which is charac-
teristic of the gold ores of the dis
trict. Samples brought in are inn
pregnated with free gold in large
grains, panning easily. 1t was double
sampled every two feet and the sack
ed samples brought to be assayed.
Both Mr.. Place and Mr.. Shell are
highly elated over the discovery.
The find was made Tuesday shortly
after completion of the last of the
assessment and location work on 400
acres of ground owned by the COM
pany. The news has been sent to
Salt Lake. Until some answer Is
received 1t is not known what the
next move of the company will be.
The property was recently incorpo-
rates but no further steps have been
taken toward placing it on footing
where DEVELOPMENT can proceed
At the Alvan work will be COM
menced at once at the mill. This
was shut down on account of the ne
cessity of utilizing the water, which
furnishes power for the mill, for ir-
rigation purposes on the Campbell
ranch. mo one in Ely has any idea
of the bonanza that Mr.. Campbell
has in his property" said Mr.. Place
with only two men at work break
ing down ore and hauling it to tht
mill, he is making a clear profit, it Il
said, of 500 a dav, and | believe
more than that. Every cubic foo
of the ore run through the mill av
erages $75 in value. That is al
good a proposition as any man could
want -

total output of the Tonopah mines
was 6, 100 tons, of an estimated value
of $127.600.
Owing to the blowing out of the
head of the huge pressure cylinder
of the big compressor last Monday,
all dev elopment work in the Tonopah
company's mine has been temporarily
susepnded until the necessary re-
pairs can be made, which will take
about two weeks. Work in the
slopes, however, is going on as usual,
the small compressor being capable
of running ~ or 10 machines.
Development work in the Tonopah-
Belmont continues at rapid pace,
249k feet of new ground having
been broken in the past week. This
is at the rate of over two miles a
year and goes to show that they are
mining in earnest. The most of this
work was done to the south of this
main cast drift, and the management
has been amply rewarded by the find
ing of several good bodies of ore. to-

thoroughfare, which is being adyocat-
ed strongly by Denyerites? II would

endorse the project of bringing the
line through Ely strongly.
A letter received from Mr.. Weir
during the week by the News in
ouires about the feasibility of the
local route and its comparative
length. In response the following
statistics have been gathered and
forwarded to him.
Ely is distant from Salt Lake CITY
going the shortest way practically
800 miles. I ne roads are good dur
ing the greater part of the year as
has been attested by automobilists
coming through. From here to Los
Angeles, by way of Tonopah, Gold
field, and Death Valley, the last the
only ad stretch in the whole route,
it is practically another 500 miles,
making the whole route 900 miles i'm
length.
This is not the exact routing Of
the stage trail which ran through
Cherry Creek about so miles north
of here.
The overland trail. said Thomas
Rockhill. one of the oldest residents
of Ely. ran along the route of the
Southern Pacific line through Cobre.

A II inch vein of ore averaging
about $35. Judging from paintings.
and showing free gold in quartz
heavily fieeked with hemetite of iron
has been uncovered for a distance of
100 feet by Fred Borchert on the
property belonging to him, In Coco
mongo district near Cherry Greek.
The property adjoins those of the
Stewart holding company and is di-
rectly south of the Weinberger mine.
Mr.. Borchert is getting out large
quantity of the ore preparatory to
making a test run when the Stewart
mill is started the latter part of this
month.
The Stewart Holding company
which controls five mines operating
together for mutual benefit is at
present working 35 men. A few of
this number are engaged in prepar
ing the mill for the run 1t will make
the latter part of the month when
customs ores will be received. The
opening of the mill means great
deal to surrounding properties as it
will mean but short haul where
long and expensive hauls have
hitherto kept low grade propositions
from paying.
The major part of the force are
engaged In driving large tunnel
which is calculated to cut the ledge
at 400 feet from the mouth. OF
this half has been made already.
Machine drills are being utilized and
progress is therefore rapid, the for
nation not being particularly hard.
