going on lately at a point several nun
lred feet west of the shaft and between
4 and what is known as the Gopher
hole strike. In a half dozen places ore
IS now exposed which pans in a manner
conducive of that condition known as
yold fever. They have also been at
work at the Gopher hole and have some
ore uncovered there which shows up
gold in the same sensational way.
The Midnight
More rich ore has been
lately at the Midnight claim, the result
of continued exploration of the big
dyke trending through the acreage. a
great many quartz veins occur IN the
dyke, any of which carry gold values,
in some instances very high values, and
II is nothing unusual to obtain paintings
that are very rich. The owners uncover
new veins every few days and in the
aggregate have a very large quantity
of ore exposed. Much of this is high
grade, while it is all a very high milling
grade.
New Comstock
The owners continue to find pay ore
in the shaft at the New Comstock
mine. Considerable water is flowing
into the shaft which retards progress
somewhat. but what Roadway is made
that the values are constantly
increasing. The company is completing
arrangements to install a pumping plant
and other machinery and when these
are provided the shaft will be lowered
ouite a distance further and a crosscut
driven both ways from it. Surface in
dications 90 to show that the ores on
the west or hanging wall side will prove
the best. The best paintings are Sc
cured on hat part of the outerop and
more siIicifeation is noted here. The
New Comstock dyke is several hundred
feet in width. There seems little doubt
that a wide extent of pay ore may be
developed.
Three Bells
Jim P%ritehett and Harry Knox are
doing some work on the Dinner Bell,
Cow Bell and Door Bell claims, located
southwest of town. OF these claims,
with their e%uphonious names, the Din
ner Bell has proven quite a getter OF
the stuff that causes the MONDAY gong
to ring in most any mans country.
They have opened a quartz ledge on
this acreage that can be depended on
for some good Mornings and across six
or eight feet, very little indication of
the existence of a ledge may be seen,
it is covered with a thin malapai cap
ping. The boys are feeling pretty good
over their find and intend to get very
busy opening it up when they get back
from Reno in a few days.
Red Mountain No. /
Three shifts were put on for a few
DAYS this week at the Red Mountain
No. / shaft, but it was found necessary
to reduce the force temporarily as the
giant powder smoke hung in the shaft
such a length of time that the miners
could not go down. Two shifts are now
employed and this will constitute the
force for a few days or until ventilation
is provided.
Mill Nears Completion
Development and progress with the
plant at the Ramsey Comstock
90 steadily on. The old bonanza prop
erty is getting bigger and better with
every days work, with a constantly
growing ore reserve that's going to
Ildhc CHdt ioPClt OHc VI tHc otai az
fractions of new Nevada.
The construction of a milling plant
necessarily requires some little time,
but it is being put together in good
shape now and the days are not far off
when the machines will be started.
Meanwhile the company is making
preparations for a continuous run. Big
ore piles have accumulated, more of the
rich ore has been exposed in the work
ings, larger drifts made, slopes opened
and such a quantity of ore made imme-
available that ore bins will be
kept full for many months with the
now on hand. Good reports,
means good returns, are going to
be had from that mill when ~cleanups
are made, for they certainly have the
sort of rock in the mine that will put
gold on the plates, and get it there in
quantities.
Tiger Shows Gold
The Tiger claim, which contains the
extension of the Hawk Nest and Silk
Hat lodges, is being prospected by
Chas. Trimble, who with Bladen Ramsey
and Gerald Calder, owns the property.
Considerable excitement was caused a
few months ago by the discovery of ore
wire gold on the Hawk Nest
claim and the owners of the TIGER are
