tioh of gold and silver. To accomplish
this forecast means the introduction of
large capital and adequate treatment
facilities. The district as a whole war
rants and justifies the attention of men
of and who in mining and indus-
trial undertakings seek investments
along legitimate business lines.
The development from Sewall peak
with an altitude Of 1900 feet along the
decline and with the trend of the dis.
triet towards Squaw valley with an alti-
,ude of 1880 feet, shows such prop.
critics with actual development viz:
The Midas, the original discovery,
with a shaft 100 feet in depth and
which has had from grass roots 10 pres
ent depth a continuous body of milling
ore with the entire shaft eneased in this
quality of ore. The dump samples from
IS to ga per ton. Any individual is
privileged to visit, examine and test
this ore in place or on dump and if no
values are secured corresponding with
the above statement Dick Bamberger
makes the proposition that he will give
a title of his interest to this very strong
property. The outcrop of this deposit
is from four to eighteen feet and demon.
strated by cuts and preliminary surface
work for 300 feet from shaft.
Adjoining the Midas is the Spotted
Dog, owned by Menkin q Schein. This
property has a number of ten to fifteen.
foot holes along ore shoots, from which
rich values are secured, with a tunnel
from the base of the canyon towards
the ore shoot. This tunnel, when 1T
penetrates the rich ore line, will give a
depth of 100 feet and is o towards
the point 1877 feet, requiring an addi-
tional forty feet to reach the objective
point. This tunnel is in an impreg
mated porphyry returning an average
value of So per ton in gold.
The Baby Midas, controlled by p. A.
Leamy and Butte interests, has a shaft
on lead seventy-two feet deep. This
opening has the exhibit of a good body
of ore that rates from So to $24 per
ton. 1t is free and at present depth
shows the change from oxidation to sui
phide, having encountered water.
Adjoining these properties are the
Climax, Gold Bar and Golden Tissue
which, with limited work performed,
show values in place and in clearly de-
fined relationship.
The Elko Prince, with a series of cuts,
tunnels and shaft, shows a continuous
lead system carrying values. The shaft
on this property has attained a depth
of over 100 feet and from commence
ment has had ore returning varying
values. The ore is in a two-foot quartz
lead with a portion sorted and sacked
averaging over $75. This property is
controlled by Willard +. Snyder, G. p.
Campbell, and Lou d. Gordon. Con-
tiguous to the Elko Prince ore the Over
looked Fraction. the Hillside group and
Colorado Grandies with great showings
and rich values in place and on dump
being operated by leasers.
The premier showing of the district
is tina of the Rex and Gold Crown. The
distinctive feature of the Rex is that
of a volcanic vent. 1t sidelines the
Colorado Grandee upon which the Jur-
ans and Gebhart and Schenck leases
have made such great demonstration
and which have large quantities of
milling ores on the dumps. The Rex
from present point of calculation is one
Of the big properties of the west. A
shaft sixty-fve feet deep with a north
and a south drift of eighty and sixty
feet respectively, with a north and
south crosscut at end of these drifts,
respectively proves a massive body of
ore averaging $25 per ton. The extra
drifts and shafts are in this ore with
the crosscuts showing both clear
sliekinside walls. The owners Of this
property are arranging to install their
own treatment plant but in the mean
