Jensen and Henry Anderson against
Martin Pradera, a prominetnt sheep
man of Humboldt county, asking for

passed on it with his sheep, thereby
rendering it wholly unfit for graz

five FEET GOOD
MILLING ORE

SEVEN TROUGHS, May ga
new vein containing at least five feet
of good milling ore was encountered
yesterday by Alex and Howard Van
Winkle on Badger Hill, of. the Fi',e
Gold property, quarter of mile
northwest of Muzuma. The new
strike is on the northwest side Of
Badger Hill. at least 600 feet distant
from the George and English banan-
IA vein which has attracted so much
attenution.to the property. The vein
was the first solid formation struck
by the leasers after tunneling through
forty feet of wash. The entire face
of thetunnel pans well, the vein mat
ter consisting mainly of rhyolite and
quartz. The size of the body Of ore
is not yet known but from the in
dications it is thought that it is a
very large one. The lessees will fol
low the ore body into the hill with
their tunnel, and will gain depth verv
rapidly.
The Fine Gold property presents a
scene of unparalleled activity at the
present, the Badger Hill and Yellow
Dog claims adjoining, being well COW
cred with leasers On the south side
of the hill leasers are uncovering a
vein that carries excellent surface
values, and is probably a vein that
lies between the Georgeand English
and Van Winkle veins. On the Vel
low Dog. Mr.. Hyland, connected with
the proposed custom mill, has follow
ed large vein down fifteen feet, ex-
posing at least four feet of milling
ore. Adjoining Mr.. Hyland s block,
Frank Wondershack and associates
have leased block of ground on the
end of which vein has been found
that shows surface values up to $50
ton. The George and English lease.
following the recent installation of
tracks and ear, presents a scene or
concentrated activity. Three sets Of
leasers are working on this ground
in order to reach their own ground at
depth. In addition to work going on
on the three surfaces in the tunnel, a
shaft is being sunk by Owens and
English, and has already reach depth
of sixty feet.

likely to be pounding away in few
days previous to the Mazuma Hills.
These two plants arearranging for en-
largement and will cost about $25, 1000
each and have combined capacity
of eighty tons aday. In addition to
the stamps the mill building contains
two Wiley concentrating tables. In
the engine room are two gasoline en-

The arrangement of the Mazum,
Hills mill is practically the same as
the kindergarten, which was construct

the Nevada Engineering works OF
Reno.
In additions to these two private
mills, a custom mill of forty stamps
capacity is the latest enterprise for
the great Seven Troughs district. AL
ready plans have been submitted and
the ground broken for the mill built
ing. This project is backed by promi.
nent San Francisco capitalists and
is only the beginning of mill build
ing era in this promising district.
The Seven Troughs mining company
has decided upon the erection of a
stamp mill with which to treat is
ore. Upon the completion Of the Kin
dergarten mill, which is now practical
ly finished, work will be vigorously
prosecuted on the Fairview mill which
will be built at the mine, just above
the town of Vernon, Ten stamps will
be put in and others will be added as
occasion requires.
