Regent section Of the district are VIE
ing in Importance and extent with
those which have placed the Hooligan,
Balloon and Grutt hill areas in the fore
front of interest since the very early
days of the camp. The reason for the
division of attention is found in a
number of rich strikes made at Regent
somewhat recently. As a result of
these strikes there has been a quicken
ing Of mining energy in all portions Of
the Regent section, and as a result of
more extensive mining research there
have been yet other ore finds of worth.
the estates of the Royal Tiger and Re-
gent Rector companies, at each of
which extensive and successful work is
being done by lessee. SO successful
and persistent is the work that it is
only exceeded by that being performed
on the acreages of the Queen, Coalition
and Consolidated companies.
Royal Tiger
A shipment went out this week from
the lease of the Royal Mines company
on the estate of the Royal Tiger Min
ing company to smelter at Salt Lake
City. The ore averaged $125 the ton
and bulked about IS tons. -Four other
shipments of like grade and tonnage pre-
ceded it. Yet another consignment is
to be made before the close of July.
The working is in ore from surface to
bottom, associated with the shipping
grade being a 21a-foot streak of $50
per ton mill rock. In appearance the
quartz resembles that mined in the
Miller and leased blocks Nos. 4 and g.
on the Happy Hooligan claim of the
Coalition company. In fact, it is not
unlikely that the miners at the Royal
Tiger are working in the continuation
of one of the Hooligan hill assures 1t
is understood that the Royal Tiger
company is preparing to develop on it's
own account and that operations will
begin early in August.
Royal Regent
From an inside source, the veracity
of which is not subject to question,
your representative has CLEANED the
information that an extensive program
of development work is to be inaugur-
ated on the estate of the Royal Regent
Mining company early in August, AMI
that from hat time on work on COM
pany account will be continuous. The
acreage is traversed by a number of
strong dykes, superficial prospecting at
surface having demonstrated them to
hold great mineral merit. The largest
of the lodges shows an average width
of more than six feet and breaks to a
high milling average. 1t is the inten-
ton to sink a main working shaft in
the vicinity of this vein, with the OBJ
iect of catching it on its dip at a depth
of rs feet. A hosting plant is to be
installed just as soon as sufficient depth
has been gained to make its operation
practicable.
Regent Rector
Fifteen tons of ore having an aver
age precious metal worth of 800 the
ton went out this week to the Hazen
sampler from the Waiter Boys lease on
the Gar claim of the Regent Rector
company. At nominal depth in the in
cline shaft the miners are working in
five feet of quartz which shows much
gold and silver in the free. The lease
has more than paid all expenses Incl
dental to mining from the very hour
when the owners began work. In fact,
the ink was hardly dry on the lease
contract before the operators, Messrs.
Wagner, Williams and Putnam, were
sacking high grade. Since that time
they have never been out of ore. A II
horse power hosting plant has been
is to be set up at the collar of the YER
teal shaft sunk by the company to a
depth of 100 feet some months ago. As
soon as it is in commission the shaft is
to be sunk to a depth of 200 feet, and
from it's bottom a erosscut will be run
west to contact with the ledge now be-
ing explored, and to the east to contact
with a ledge which outcrops near the
company dump.
The Mckinley Lease
Five feet of ore of exceptional pre-
cious metal worth is disclosed al q.
depth of 40 feet in the Mckinley lee
shaft on the Rector estate. Ser. g3k
from the ledge average better seSSH3o0'
the ton; the middlings aser40ee better
than $50 the ton; the premie rotk has
a value of 5000 the ten anf the lowest
in value assays s2e the son. Sinking
is to be continued mtd 4 depth of so
feet is gained, where til ledge is to be
intersected by a erosscut and a drift
be sent out along its strike. As is the
case in the Tonopah ore bodies, which
the Mckinley ledge greatly resembles,
the preponderanee Of the values are in
silver. the ratio being about so per
cent gold. Two hundred sacks of high
grade are piled near the shaft, and
