sand gallon e%isterns for storing water.
All the material for the mill struetnr.
arrived on the ground during this week
The twenty-five horsepower gasoline an.
CINE, which will furnish power for the
plant, arrived last week, as did also thu
crusher. The mill-a fve-foot Hunt;no
ton-which will have a capacity %
thirty tons a day, arrived at Loveloek
the early part of this week and is now
being hauled in from the railroad. Tn.
less present plans miscarry, the plant
will be reducing ore by the first of the
new year.
Pushing Work In Shaft
The work of sinking the shaft on the
Potter and Arnett lease, which covers
a large area Of that portion of the
estate of the Mazuma Hills Mining com.
pany that lies toward the bottom of
Seven Troughs canyon, to the full
length of the present cable-two hun.
bred and twenty-five feet-is being
pushed with all possible haste by two
shifts of miners.
A campaign of development has Just
been inaugurated at the property of the
Monnette Mining and Milling COMPANY.
which takes rank with the most exten.
sive operations thus far attempted in
the district. The Monnette ground lies
just north of the Seven Troughs mine
and the Harris lease of the Seven
Troughs Florence Mining and Leasing
company and it has been demonstrated
that it is traversed by the same vein
system that has brought the two latter
named properties to the attention of
the mining world SO prominently of
late.
Genuine Picture Rock
Ore that goes 81 a pound was en-.
countered Wednesday at the los level
of the Black and Campbell lease on the
Wild Bull in Wild Horse canyon. They
have been sinking in a vertical shaft
and the vein pitching to the east came
into the shaft. This is the SAINT vein
which was encountered and followed at
the 60-foot level, the ore a~ssaying as
high as $4,000 a ton. At the 60-foot
level a crosscut wal run to the vein,
and the latter drifted on for 30 feet,
when it was decided to resume sinking.
There is still high grade ore in the drift,
and the vein eight feet in width will
produce good milling ore all through.
Only a few days since some very rich
float was picked up at the bottom Of
the hill on the lease and this was fol-
lowed until another vein was encoun-
tered, paralleling the vein on which
they have been working. Sinking in
the shaft will be continued, and a cross
cut run from the present to cut the
new vein.
Work is to be resumed in the main
workings of the Wild Bull on the first
of the year. The shaft is down 1l5 feet
lat which depth work had to be suspend
ed on account of the water coming IN.
At that level they had great ore IN the
shaft. One streak on the west wall Is
eight inches wide and went $500 to the
ton. On the east wall they have fonr
inches of ruby silver and free goa
which also went very high in values
There are three feet of gangue winch
give excellent milling returns. Inc
company lacked the means to fight inc
water and was compelled to desist; pu'
they arc now prepared to go on with 'ho
work without interruption. The WIN
Horse promises to be another grea'
mine of the Seven Troughs district.
