NEW CAMP OF GRANITE IS
COMING TO THE FRONT

went so tons from the lower leasers on
the same ledge which gave returns of
$57 per ton.
Col. j. F. Young, of San Francisco,
has been inspecting the different prop
critics of the district for the past ten
days, and was so impressed with it's
future possibilities that he signed con-
tracts with several leasers to furnish
him Is tons of ore daily for a mill
which he will build neal the town Of
Iona on the Walker river about three
miles from Granite. The mill will have
five stamps in the beginning with a
frame which will accommodate ten
stamps as soon as the output will war
rant the increase.
To the west of Granite and about a
mile distant lie the copper properties
of the Walker River Mines syndicate,
superintendent by d. c. Beach, who is
known as the father of the district,
having gone into the reservation when
it was closed to the prospectors for min
erals. This estate has large bodies of
ore blocked out and the owners claim
they have enough gold values to pay
for the expense of mining, leaving the
copper as clear profit. Key Pittman, of
Tonopah, the well known Nevada law
yer, is one of the prominent men inter
ested in the company.
Large quantities of scrub fir cover
the ranges and water has been found at
a depth of 80 feet insuring a bountiful
supply for domestic and milling pur-
poses.
The climate is delightful and the
camp will soon take its place among
Nevada s big producers.

Granite, Nevada, situated eight miles
west of Schurz is rapidly coming to the
front solely on it's merits and without
any outside assistance. The ffty-fve
leasers who have been at work in the
district for the past six weeks have
pursued their operations with uninter-
rupted zeal, encouraged by the showings
at every foot of sinking.
The camp itself is growing slowly,
having a population of about 250 peo-
ple. The district has received very lit
tie publicity and it is for this reason
more than any other that Granite has
not been pushed more rapidly to the
front.
Three of the eleven ~leasers on the Big
Twenty ledge have combined their
leases and have been driving a tunnel
for the past three weeks. At the pres
ent time the tunnel has been driven 100
feet. This tunnel will be 400 feet long
and will tap the ledge at a depth OF 200
feet.
The Big Twenty ledge is one of the
largest milling propositions in the state
of Nevada, and runs in an unbroken
line on the surface for a distance of
5000 feet, being from IS to 100 feet
wide. Shafts on this ledge have
reached a depth of from 40 to 1l5 feet
and in all but two instances have snip
ping ore in good quantities. In the bot
tom of their shafts several leasers have
streaks of high grade ore running from
eiphteen inches to two feet which Will
ASSAY from 800 to $500 per tor.
A shipment of ore to Silver City
amounting to 100 tons last week, gave
returns of $119. With this shipment

MANHATTAN BIG CHIEF In
ORE RUNNING $500 A TON

The richest ore yet encountered in the
workings on the Big Chief was taken
from a winze about fifty feet from the
main entrance to the drift the first of
the week. From the paintings taken L
is estimated the ore will easily run $500
to the ton. This rich ore came in on
the foot wall, and is porphyretic -schist,
with streaks of tale, which carry the
gold in the free. The hard ore has wild
ened to two feet and is much richer in
this shoot than at any place or the
lease.
Messrs. Gitchell and Hansen now
have eighty tons sacked and on tho
dump ready for the mill, and expect to
be able to get a run within the next
ten days.
Breyfogle
The rich Thanksgiving ledge was
struck in the Brcyfogle workings last
Friday at a depth of 200 feet. rhs
ledge is 3 feet in width and shows free
gold. 1t was encountered in the south
drift, which is now il a distance CT lo5
feet.
II is estimated that the new body of
ore in the mire will! average $40 or $40
per ton.
The machine drills are expected to ar
rive this week from ronop1h ana will
at once be installed in the mine and the
work of stopping out he ore will .hcn be
started.
The 3-stamp mill, formerly in opera-
tion on upper Main street, on the Buck
board ground, is being removed to a loca-
ton west Of the Gentry blacksmith
shop on the Union No. IA claim and a
force of men is now engaged in putting
up the building and installing the ma
chinery. The plant was receht'y Sc
cured by w. M. Veith and associates
and will be used to treat the ores from
the veith- Plamenaz lease on the Union
No. Q. 1t is thought that the pant VII
be in running order by June l5;h. when
the first run of ore from the lease viii
be made. The lessees have over 100
tons of ore on one dump which they
state will run 5000 and better per ton,
and about $50 tons OF a second damp
which will run about $35 per zen

LIVE
MINING CAMP

That the new town Sierra is to make
a real live mining camp is now beyond
question. Where a few days ago moth
ing but a luxurious growth of sage
brush greeted the prospector and capt
talist, there is now a hustling, active
little city of upward of forty tents,
says the Reveille. Two frame buildings
are started and contracts are being let
for additional ones. Scores of prosPec-
tors and investors radiate from it to
the adjoining hills, where every day
fresh showings are uncovered and new
lodges, practically all of which show
free gold on the surface, are discovered.
Yesterday was a banner day for Sierra
and the surrounding district. Mr..
Sweeny, representing st. Louis capital
lists, who own and are working some
property in old Unionville, % miles dis
tant. attracted by the number of tents
and people, came over to investigate.
He Immediately secured four claims and
intends to start a large outfit of men
developing these claims at once. Mr..
Sweeney was loud in his praise of the
district, and was only sorry that he had
not gotten in sooner. He secured sew
eral fine samples Of quartz, showing
free gold, from his own property while
simply prospecting and looking for a
suitable place to start development
work. Charles Grant, who secured the
Bishop and Braito properties today,
starts work with a large force of men.
Grant and his brother have some of
the finest showings in camp, and Ne
vada will undoubtedly hear from them
in the near future.
Several leases were let yesterday and
more are to follow. Among them one
on the Calhoun Lonergan property to
f. II. Rice, a mining man from Tono-
pah, and on the Bradshaw & benson
property to a company in Colorado.
Accommodations at Sierra for prospec-
tors and investors are now in good
shape. The erection of a large restau-
rant and lodging house by Mr.. Haskins,
of Lovelock, guarantee those who have
no camping outfit of their own a place
to stay, while for campers, with water
running through the middle of the
townsite and plenty of wood, a better
place could not be found.

reports current in Wonder are to the
eheet that a big body of shipping ore
has been struck on the 2OO-fovt level in
the Nevada Wonder, says the Wonder
Mining News. 1t is said that the vein
was eut early in the week about six.
teen feet from the shaft, and that the
part Of it that has thus far been nm.
covered is all high grade rock. The
width Of the vein at this level cannot
be accurately stated for the reason that
up to the middle of the week it had not
been cut through from wall to wall. 1t
Is known, however, that in addition to
the high quality of the ore body, it has
unusual width. The only assay return
on this ore that has become a matter
or general knowledge is one for $21s,
which is believed to be an average. al.
though it is said that some of the rock
runs much higher.
Power Plant Projected
A movement is on foot to establish
at Chalk H%ountain, half way between
wonder and Fairview, a great power
station for the distribution of electric.
ity through the surrounding mining
districts. One of those interested in
the project is Frank Kirk, the Cleve.
land capitalist, who was in Wonder this
week. The originators of the plan are
p. II. Mclaughlin of Fairview, Roy
Ridge and II. J. Darling of Reno. SEN
ator Newlands is also interested. They
have secured the rights to $4,000 horse
power near TIE headwaters of the Car
son river in Alpine county, California,
and here will be generated the electric
ity which, with a loss of twenty per
cent, will be carried on wires over a
distance of about 40 miles to the
Chalk Mountain station, where the cur
rent will be transformed and the cleo
tricity served to consumers in the min
ing districts for both power and light.
The mine owners and leading business
men of the camps are now being can
vassed to ascertain the demand for cleo
tricity. 1t is believed by the capital
lists who are behind the project that
while there is no great demand for
power and light at the present time, the
mining outlook for this section of the
state is such that the electricity can
be disposed of in sufficient quantities
to make the enterprise an extremely
profitable one. The complete plant, it
is estimated, will cost 100000.
Development Work Started
John Burt left Wonder this week to
start development work On a group of
claims adjoining the old IXL mine,
about twenty miles from here in the
range across the fat. Mr.. Burt s desire
to begin work on his claims at this
time was aroused by the fact that on a
recent previous trip he examined $50
sacks of ore taken from the IXL which
was, he said, the finest silver bearing
rock he had ever seen. This ore will
be shipped in a day or two, and will
constitute the second shipment of un-
usually high grade rock which has been
