PARADOXICAL.

Here is a paradoxical thing about
mining enterprises-they are not sue
cessful until they are run into the
ground.
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1908-05-12

The seats are absolutely safe, cannot
fall down, being held in place by the
Curtis Truss system. No other circus
is so equipped.
The detectives with the show are
from the R. j. Coach Secret Service
agency of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Gambling or catch penny schemes
are not tolerated or permitted.
.Pickpockets and sharpers are
promptly spotted and locked up.
Special attention is called to the
Sells-Floto science of tent construction
and erection to Withstand rain and
storm.
No privilege car with the show
only circus without it. The privilege
ear is a saloon on wheels, gambling
den that saps the pocketbooks of the
performers, canvasmen and other alta
ches under cover to public and police,
in direct violation of all law and de-
cency.
Those desiring will have a fine OPP
portunity to witness the unloading of
the show; always an interesting sight
All are invited to inspect the entire
equipment. The horses are the swell
lest in the world.

EAGLE CREEK PLACER MINES

The Eagle Creek Placer Mining
company is owned by the Victor
Bros. of New York city; ]. F.
Murphy is resident manager at
Murray, where there is a branch
office of the company.
The property Of the company
consists Of 100 placer claims on
Eagle creek. AT the present time
the company is leasing a number Of
the claims to Dunlap & Smith, j.
Burton, John Maxi, Arthur Speker,
and others. As yet this year no
returns have been made but it is a
known fact that Dunlap & Smith
make an annual cleanup of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Next year the company will in
all probability work the property
itself by hydraulic process. 1t has
a fume already built three and a
half miles long, carrying 1900
inches of water, and having a fall
of 300 feet.

has good values of lead, silver and
gold sprinkled through it. Assays
of the rock have run as high as
$500 to the ton. The ledge has
been traced as far as the bed Of the
creek.
Two men are now prospecting
the property. A tunnel will be
started soon to catch the ledge, when
drifts will be run. 1t will be high
enough on the side of the hill for a
good dumping ground and millsite,
but will get over 600 feet vertical
depth on the ledge.
Another lead at the head of the
creek has been prospected. A tun-
mel was run Is feet. The ledge runs
east and west and is three feet wide,
carrying values in silver and lead.
The tunnel will be continued this
winter.
Eighteen claims comprise the
group and most of them are heavily
covered with timber.

PILOT LEAsERs MAKING MONEY

Ore assaying $17, ,639.77 to the
ton in gold and silver if found in
the Nevada gold fields would cause
a stampede Of several thousands Of
people to the scene of the discovery
in less than week. This rich ore
is being taken out Of the Pilot mine
less than 5000 feet from the town
OF Murray and every one takes it as
a matter of course.
The Pilot claim is on Gold Run
gulch and is owned by John Dock
tor, Frank Frohling and Louis
Prayer. Much Of the valuable ore
has been taken out and shipped and
has netted handsome returns.
Though the ledge bearing the pre-
cious metals is but few inches in
width, it pays enormous rewards to
the leasers Of the mine, who are,
Walter Keister, Jack Anderson and
Daniel Findlayson. The lease
dates from August 10, 1908 to

To develop the property cross
cut tunnel was started for the east
and west ledge, which was struck
when in 1876 feet. 1t was found to
be from 5 to ID feet wide and con-

JEWEL GROUP ASSAYS $500

The Jewel group, formerly known
as the Waddell group, is owned per.
sonally by Louis w. Stedman, and
is located in Cement gulch. The
property was taken over June Is,
1908, when the change in name
was made. When the gold excite
ment was at its heighth on the
north side, Cement creek was thor
oughly placer mined with good re
suits. A form of natural cement
was found on top OF bedrock,
hence the name of the creek.
This property is just over the top
OF the hill from the Chicago London
and it looks as though the same
ledge runs through the mountain.
The ledge has been traced for 700
feet on the surface by open cuts. 1t
dips to the east for possibly 80 feet,
when it apparently straightens up
almost perpendicular. The ledge

WORKING NEAR FUTURE GROUP THE FAMOUS JACK WAITE

Two distinct veins are easily trac-
ed on the surface Of the Near Future
group, which is owned by VIM. A.
Taylor and comprises three claims.
The ledge is from six to twelve feet
wide and is quartz and quartzite.
It has been traced for 1000 feet on
the surface by its longest course, by
open cuts and small crosscuts. One
crosscut cuts the ledge at a depth of
60 feet, and a drift from this was
run 65 feet on the vein. Assays
from the ore give values of from five
to ten per cent lead, four ounces of
silver and three per cent copper.
The lower or second vein is a
strong one, we'll defined walls, ac-
companied by a porphyry dyke.
The ledge in places is stained by
copper and carries some values IN
gold.
There is an excellent mill site on
the property and an abundance OF
timber, red fir and white pine. 1t
can be worked to a depth of at least
1000 feet by tunnel. Work will be
continued in the mine all winter.

The 'Croesus group, better known
as the Jack Waite" property, is
undoubtedly one of the best known
lead prospects Oh the north side.
1t is now owned principally by
Senator Lee Mantle Of Butte, who
recently paid about S37 800 for an
interest. The ground was patented
last year. The big ledge, 20 feet
wide, bearing rich galena, can be
traced on the surface by means of
open cuts for three miles. The
Croesus group lies on the main
divide, is line miles from Murray
Development work was COM
menced as far back as 1888 and
1884. The tunnels made at that
time are now caved in, but recent
ly a miner scrambled over the top
OF the fallen earth in the tunnel
and by wading in water to his
waist got far enough in to see an
immense body of pure galena in
the ledge that is fully six feet wide
Tons and tons of galena were taken
out in the early days and left at the
mouth of the tunnel, where some
of it still remains. 1t was never
fully developed or worked as the
ore would have to be hauled by
wagon about 30 miles.

The present owners of the Pilot
are practically the original locators
of the property. The claim was
named after Captain Pease who is a
pilot on the Columbia river at
Astoria, and is a personal friend Of
the Pilot owners.
The property was developed by
driving a straight tunnel 500 feet
long, and an upraise 100 feet to the
surface, which gives good ventila-

Allie on the north.
A drift has been started and
values of S9S in gold and 6 per cent

four distinct veins on the property
On the Wide West the ledge has
been traced by open cuts for over
1000 feet. The vein is from three

values OF 5 per cent lead and s

pyrites of iron. The showing looks
very encouraging to Mr.. Tuttle,
who lives on the claims and is do
ing development work.
The claims extend across Granite
