lett has lived almost all his life in Ne
vada amid its mines and mining men
and is thoroughly conversant with the
mining business in all its various
branches.
David s. Llewellyn will be supcrin-
tendent of the work.
Sphinx
With the visit of W. III. (Dad) Clark
last week, the Nugget is enabled to
make public what has been only half a
secret for some weeks past, namely that
the Sphinx mine has discovered and is
now opening up a ledge which is a
whale for size and which carries gold
values to an extent that assures the
Round Mountain Sphinx Mining com
pany of a dividend paying property for
years to come.
As a matter of fact, the discovery of
tins whopping ore body is second to
nothing that has occurred in the dis
trict as to its Importance.
The ledge was first found in the winze
which was started by Superintendent
Weber on the 110-foot level. The hang
ing wall was followed and at a depth
of about 100 feet from the surface,
Stopping was done in order to determine
something as to the size and value of
the ore body. A big chamber just off
the WINE is the result and it may be
said that everything that came out of
it was ore. Not a car of muck was
taken out.
Fairview
The immediate future will see the
present mill of the Fairview company
taken down and moved over to the
mine and at the same time the plant
will be enlarged and the capacity al
least doubled.
Messrs. Wampler, McGhan and Spen-
Ger have. all been in camp during the
past week and these plans have been
formulated as the result.
Another Improvement will be the pur
chase of a power hoist and gallows
frame which will be put up in order to
carry on the work of sinking a main
working shaft for depth.
The Fairview has been running it's
mill steadily on a rich grade of ore and
has not attempted to reduce anything
under $15 to the ton. The consequence
is that the company has on its dump
between 1,500 and 1000 tons of ore
that will average in the neighborhood
of $50 per ton.

OHornsilver Hcrald.)

Good work in all parts of the leasing
field has been done during the week.
While no sensational strikes are to be
reported the general progress has been
most encouraging, and the available ore
area has been extended. The event of
the greatest Importance has been the
prosecuting Of an ore shoot in the lease
of Kinds. Kavanaugh & DeKarr on
Nettie l.. No. 4. This proves the con
%tinuity of the big vein of the Great
Western and the regularity of its ore
shoot. and is another strong demonstra-
ton of the ~permanency and immensely
of the veins of Hornsilver district. A
number of the leases have reached the
general prosecuting point, and have
started on this work, consequently the
next two or three weeks will likely re-
cord various strikes of Importance. The
widening of the ore body in the Frisbee
lease on the Red Top is also worthy Of
note.
Silver King Group
Shea & Deane, on block No. 5 of the
Deyling claim, have timbered the shaft
and are now 20 feet deep, having made
excellent progress. Their shaft on
block 8 of the same claim is down about
80 feet.
The shaft on the Hornsilver Mining
and Leasing syndicate's ground is down
about so feet and still sinking. The
much needed within is being put in place
and now more rapid progress will be
made.
The Crescent is down % feet, and
the finding of occasional elliptical
chunks of ore is very encouraging; some
of this shows good paintings.
The Frisbee lease on Red Top claim
is doing very nicely. The within has
been placed finally, and greatly facil-
itates the work. The depth reached is
20 feet. The vein runs diagonally
through the shaft and has a width of
ore averaging from 5 to 6 feet. The
streak of high grade which is being
sacked maintains a width of about s
inches. The tale gouge next to the
hanging wall carries a good value in
free gold.
The Jordan lease on block 4 of the
Deyling has its shaft down 40 feet, with
ore showing that yields $57 in gold.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-06-27

Our shaft is now down to a depth Of 100 feet,
and prosecuting will commence Immediately. When
we get into the ore we will need a hoist, for we pro-
pose to use every hour Of the life Of this lease to the
best advantage. We want to have that hoist up and
running when we strike the ore, and for that reason we
offer to sell $4,000 shares Of the treasury stock, the first
offering and, we believe, the last that will be made, at
10 cents per share.
Leasers have paid the big profits in Gold6eld-they
will pay the big profits in Homsilver. Now is the
accepted time.

The directors Of the HORNSlLVER MINING
AND LEASING SYNDICATE have refused an
application from Lester Laird, an experienced leaser, Tor
a suitcase on a block Of ground 100 feet square. The
applicant did a little digging in prospect shaft In which
the syndicate had opened up five inches Of good ore.
The result was ore that carries several hundred ounces
Of silver to the ton.
The application was refused because within thirty
days the syndicate will have opened that ore shoot at
depth Of 100 feet, through a cross-cut from the main
shaft, and expects to Immediately commence sn'pplns'

scathlng notice once printed concern
ing volume OF Brownlng's poems. 1t

dashed by hearing from Mr.. Millsthnt
he could not write the article, as he
had been forestalled by notice which
had appeared In the Westminster Re-

Browning rushed to his club and
searched the pages of The Westmin-

article which had robbed him of Mr..

The Scottish golfer who undertook
for wager to drive ball a mile In
dozen consecutive shots probably set
himself an easier task than some OF
his predecessors north OF the Tweed.
Among the most interesting wagers
Of this kind was one taken in the

no two members could drive ball
over the spIre of st. Giles steepe.
The feat was attempted by Mr..
Sceales Of Leith aud MIR. Smellie. a
printer, each being allowed six balls,
and both competitors succeeded IN
sending their balls well over the

1G0 feet from the ground.
