SPRUCE MOUNTAIN IS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

A. f. Black, formerly OF Ely, but no"
of Sprucemont, reports the old camp as
livening up and that the Ely bunch are
again at work on their properties on
Spruce mountain.
Jack Creighton of Creighton, Roun-
tree L. Co., had another expert In the
district recently who made offers Tor
some of their holdings and his visit
result in making a deal and getting
capital to work their fine prospects
where they have good copper ore near
the surface that will stand shipping to
Salt Lake.
Dunn & Hand have a considerable
number of men at work doing develop
ment work and did a large amount OF
work this last winter on the new road
which will be their outlet to the West
ern Pacific, wei which they expect to
ship their ore when that road is com.
pleted.
Charles johnson has a force of men
doing development work on several OF
the groups owned by him.
The Black Forest Mining and Smelt-
ing company has about 1000 tons OF
lead ore at the smelter that will be
treated this summer and the bullion
produeed will be hauled to Wells from
which place it will be shipped east.
1t is reliably reported that the West
ern Pacific will build a branch down
Glover valley and come into Steptoe
valley at Currie and on down to Ely.
This will give transportation facilities
to the Sprucemont mining district and
will result in developing the district
on a larger scale thant at present.

an abundance of fine gold and an ocea-
sional large color.
Bon Ton In Shipping Ore
Wonder of Wonders is the Bon Ton
at ~Springdale, ten miles north of Beatty
and east of the Amargosa river. Those
who have followed the course of the
property through the pages of this
paper, no doubt have formed the same
opinion as held by the writer of its I'M
mensity. Every shift adds to the value
of the prospect, and now, with the bet
ter part of an morn vein ahead, AMI
one equally as large and rich in the rear,
the Bon Ton promises to taxi a place
with the very great mines of the world.
Supt. Thos. c. Blair extends an invita-
ton to all the doubling Thomases in ex-
~istence to call on the ground and see
for Thomas.
The crosseut now is 45 feet into the
Oasis vein, probably at a depth of 229
feet. and now Supt. Blair is breaking
$40 ore. With the hanging wall go feet
ahead, and about 100 feet of ore averag-
ing at least 81 a ton between the breast
of the crosscut and the shaft, what do
YOU think of the Bon Ton? The ore is
becoming richer as the crosscut APP
proaches the hanging wall, and the rock
now being broken is rich enough to ship.
1t is heavily stained with manganese,
and resembles the Bonanza mountain
product. Work will be resumed in the
shaft in a few days.
Transvaal of Nevada
The strike at Transvaal, reported in
the Miner last week, is developing into
a large body of free milling. The strike
was made in virgin territory, and on
the surface. The shaft is down 20 feet.
and Manager Probasco states that all
the ore in sight, and there is lots of it,
will average $50 a ton. Much of the
ore shows quantities of gold. This
property will mill ore at Beatty.
Taylor Resumes
The Taylor of Gold Gulch resumed
work Friday. The shaft will be sun
an additional 100 feet. Mr.. Taylor will
arrive from Los Angeles Sunday.
Beatty Custom Mill
A large force now is working on the
mill. and the building is rapidly assum-
ing shape. The bulk of the heavy ma
ehinery will be along in a few days
The builders hope to drop the first
stamp toward the latter part of next
month.

not far distant when this steady WORK

This day is practically eoincident

pears only reasonable to expect that the

more mills here within a comparatively
short time.
The Question of water bids fair to be
solved to the satisfaction of all con
eerned. One company has a franchise,
has surveyed for a line and intends
building this fall. Two other companies
are engaged in preparations to brin'
water into the .own from ports a short
distance out, and the success of thes'
efforts will mean water sufficient fol-

power is easy of solution. A representa-

during the past week and gave out the
information that the company wou'o

NEW BOND FILED

New bonds were filed by T. B.
Hickey, former president of the defunet
State Bank & Trust company, in the
district court IN the seven indictments
returned against him by the Ormsby
county grand jury. One of the bonds
men, Edmund James, desired to with
draw owing to the fact that he expects
to leave within a short time for a trip
to England and accordingly new bonds
were filed. The bonds were to the
amount of $4,000 in each ease making
$4,000.
Mr.. Hickey qualified for twice the
total amount, $780, 600. while levitt
Adams and Peter j. Conway, a wealthy
rancher, qualified for $4,000 each. The
three men are worth many times the
total of the bond, $4,000.

INDIAN FINDS HIGH GRADE

Cinnabar Jim, a well known Piute In
dian, was in Lovelock several days ago,
and had with him about 20 pounds of
gold specimens which were exceedingly
valuable. These specimens were from
the Black canyon, near the head of
Star peak, in the Packard mining dis
trict, and located about half a mile
from the Thornton strike in that dis
trict. Jim peddled his gold to various
townspeople and received quite a neat
sum for it.

which Hickey had contracted to pur-
chase from Cutting before the demise
of the bank. The stock is or was

The original lease on the Diamond
Queen is again to the front with the
biggest strikes yet made, says the
Bullfrog Miner. In drifting to
the south the ~lessees entered a mann
moth deposit of spar in which they
drove a tunnel some 20 feet and, being
unable to find the end, they decided to
sink a winze believing that the spar was
the Gaping of an ore shoot. Accord
ingly a station was cut and the Wine
started, and when a depth of about
eight feet had been reached the whole
bottom of the Wine suddenly broke into
an immense ore shoot. The Wine has
been continued ON down and nothing
but ore is in sight. Two samples, one
from the shell that seemed to lay be-
tween the spar and the ore ran ss0.s0
and one from the ore as it vas taken
out and dumped into the ore bin ran
$4,000 to the ton in gold. The lessees
are only taking out the ore that comes
from sinking, but with that they are
saeking over a hundred sacks of the
rich stuff every eight hours, and it is
the intention to put on three shifts at
once and work as many men as can be
worked to advantage.
Telluride Leasers
The Groshong lease at Telluride, east
of Beatty, is preparing to make a ship
ment to Salt Lake. A small quantity
of ore for a test was shipped to the
smelter last week, and returns are ex-
peeted in a few days. Saeking will then
commence, as the ~leasers desire to know
the result of the test run which will
gauge sorting, before assembling the
shipment. The owners of this lease es-
innate the ore on their dump worth
$4,000, half of which is shipping ore.
The milling will be taken care of at
Beatty when the custom mill now build
ing at this place is completed -eBatty
Bullfrog Miner.
Sixty-Six Lease
Another week. work at the Sixty-Six
lease on the National Bank has ex-
posed the ledge five feet deeper, the
winze having reached a depth of 43
feet. The ore is holding a width of four
feet, all of which is being dumped over
the grizzly and screen. The ore is fine
and but little of it passes to the waste
dump.
While the ore has not increased In
width within the past few feet, the
values are somewhat higher, judging
from the paintings. Fred Remick made

preached the creditors and have
assurance that sttlemant can be
made fer less than the face value
OF the claims. No money will be
collected until arrangements for

OF the company. In order to make
this possible the creditors, or most
of them, will waive the payment

CHAPEL SITE DEDICATED.
Land in Chesterfield Consecrated by
Keene Rector.

The Episcopal diocese of New Hamp-
| shire has received from Mrs, Elathine A.
Blakely of Far Rockaway, l.. l., a sum
mer resident of Chesterfield the deed to
piece of land on the west side of Spot
ford lake, near Silverdale, for site for
chapel to be used during the summer
by the people of the town.
Some twelve years ago Mrs. Blakely
and her husband, the late Andrew Blakely,
terrified and spent a good deal of time
there, conceived the idea of giving the
land for the purpose of erecting st. Al
bans chapel. A number of people sub
scribed money for the building of the
chapel, but the plan fell through and the
money was returned. Mr.. Blakely died
last November, but before his death
planned again to give the land.
Mrs. Blakely came to Keene a week
or more ago for the purpose of etfecting
the transfer of the property. She has de-
clared herself willing to assist with the
erection and furnishing of the building,
but it is not thought that this will be
done right away.
The land is about one hundred feet by
one hundred and twenty on the West.

schoolhouse stood. 1t is adjacent to land
of Ann L. Gibson and is about five min
utes' walk from Silverdale.
