TWO e s

A shipment of rich ore is now on the
way to Salt Lake from the Dreamland
mine at Rosebud, which is 10 being
operated under lease by George Wilson,
L. +. Vail, Roy Bullen and c. L. Tom.
Since the lease was taken several weeks
ago two shifts have been steadily at
work extending the drifts at the bottom
of the IOO-foot shaft which was sunk ?
year ago by the company owning the
Dreamland. In the east drift a fine
body of shipping ore was opened up by
the ~leasers, and the first shipment OF
this high grade is now on the way TO
the smelters.
Reports from the White Alps state
that the shaft on the property has now
reached a depth of ITO feet and that the
ledge at that depth shows values 4
from SO to IS per tor. The formation
seems to indicate that the values have
been leached out by the action of water
on the ledge and the management has
determined to drift on the ledge as soon
as a depth Of $50 feet shall have been
reached.

The seventeen sacks of high grade
ore, supposed to have been stolen from
the rich Selby Consolidated mine some
time ago, were yesterday found in Car
son City in the possession of a former
official of the mine, who claims that he
had the ore for safe keeping. This ore
was first missed by Superintendent Gil
bert, who Immediately reported the loss
to Sheriff Ferrel of Reno. The sheriff
started an investigation and his investi-
CATION yesterday resulted in its discov-
cry. The ore is valued at more than
ST., 900, each sack being valued by the
officials of the mine at more than $1,000.
Superintendent Gilbert now has the ore
in his possession and will see that it re-
mains in his possession until it is sent
to the mill.

OLD MINE IN E

Senator NJ. Mack and associates have
gained possession of a mining claim in
Pinenut that gives considerable promise
of enriching its new owners to the ex-
tent of thousands of dollars. 1t is To-
Gated about a mile from the Red Can
yon Mining company's property and
sometime in the dim past was worked
and developed. Over 100 tons of ore is
on the dump, samples of which give as
say values of $40 per ton. The dump
shows that the ore has at some time
been sorted and the richest rock re.
moved. A 2-foot ledge shows up for the
entire distance of the tunnel which is
$50 feet long. The same ledge shows in
a shaft that taps the tunnel.
