There are more leasers at work in the
district than ever before. In addition
TO those enumerated, Duckett & Clay
ton have the New Years Gift above
the 2OO-foot level. They have picture
ore to the east of the main shaft and
three feet of ore to the west which will
ASSAY from sos TO $3.50 a ton. Messrs'
DeBerry & Megede have secured q very
liberal lease from the Quartette Mining
on the Boston and Columbia
claims, and already have sufficient ore
extracted to start up the New Era ten
stamp mill, on which they also have a
lease. P. W. Sayles and associates have
been given a block of the Florence, the
east extension of the Esther, aud are
rapidly gaining depth. R. J.. Stone has
taken a lease on the Cyrus Noble mill
and is preparing to do custom work.

RAWHIDE Is CERTAIN TO
PROVE A GOOD CAMP

w. H. Fletcher is in from Rawhide,
where he made a general inspection of
the principal properties. In Mr.. F1et-
cher's opinion the camp is bound to
prove a winner. The development work
during the past few davs has evidenced
the permanencv of the district as a gold
producer. The seams Of high grade are
gradually widening into lodges.
More miners are being put to work
and a number of hoists are being
brought in, while the evidences are that
there win be adequate milling facilities
within a short time.

men ere working on the job at the
Jumping Jack, Stray Dog and Indian
Camp estate, the three L. NJ. Sullivan
pr,pcrties now under lease to Frank
peterson and associates of New York.
II is the purpose of the lessees to de-
velop the three properties along extern
sive and systematic lines, and TO ex-
plore the ore bodies at points well down
within the permanent pay area The
force mentioned began its labors April
1. under the personal supervision OF
Mr.. Peterson, who is n OF the best
known mining and mill men on the
desert.
That gentleman is planning to make
of the plant formerly owned by the
Manhattan Ore Reduction 4 Refining
ompan one of the most potent factors
in the reduction of ores in this camp. To
that end the capacity Of the mill is to
be doubled, and it is also to be equipped
with concentrators, 1t having been
demonstrated by the various runs ON
Consolidated ores that concentration Is
necessary in order to save the proper
per cent of values. The equipment has
been ordered and is now en- route here.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR ORE
As being Indicative Of the grade OF
ore the New Workers will be able to
furnish the mill as grist it is well to
cite the fact that 1000 sacks OF ore
were sent out from the Kendall and
Douglass lease on the Jumping Jack q
few DAYS since which were settled fol-
on the basis Of 800 gold the ton. The
quartz was reduced at the plant OF the
Western Ore Purchasing company at
Miller's Siding.
Three feet Of ore having an average
gold grade of 800 the ton is the show
ing at the Big Chief estate, located In
the vicinity Of Litigation hill, and
owned by Frank Naughton and part
ners. The find was made a few days
ago at the Hansen-G etchell lease, and
presents every indication Of making into
a large and permanent deposit OF pay
quartz at comparatively nominal depth.
The quartz shows free gold In quantity
and presents mineral characteristics the
replica Of those obtaining ON the Union
No. A claim. The strike was made In
the drift at the 40-foot level, 20 feet
out from the shaft. The entire breast
Of this drift is in ore having an aver
age gold content Of nearly 800 the TOT.

direction Of the Bullfrog district n
there is greater activity there than at
ANYTIME since the original excitement.
PRODUCTION OF CAMP

the mills sent out $4,000 in bullion.

I.App MOUNTAIN HIGH GRADE
Leasers are very busy on Ladd
mountain and are piling up the high
grade ore. In many places on the hill
there are tons Of ore in sacks corded up
awaiting shipment or the building Of
a custom mill. The mountain abounds
in rich seams, which will be followed to
the depths, in the expectation that they
will open into wide leads.
DIAMOND QUEEN Is LIVELY
The week just closing has been q
lively one in the Diamond Queen camp,
which is fast assuming the dignity OF q
town. says the Bullfrog Miner. Several
new leases have been secured and new
~operations are starting nearly every
day. There were ON Thursday fourteen
tents and one saloon at the scene OF
the late Bare mountain excitement,
which is, as the bird would fly, about
nine miles in a southeasterly direction
from Beatty.

settlement of the new wage scale and
the decision of the company to put on
a force of at least fifty men are the
events of the week at the Mazuma
Hills mine that have set a new pace for
Seven Troughs district and will mean
nothing less than a new record for the
section that will totally eclipse all that
has ever been done here before.
CUSTOM REDUCTION WORKS
The Mazuma Reduction Works is the
name of a smelling plant started at
Mazuma to reduce the high grade ore
of the district. Mr.. Turner, the well
known assayer of that town, has just
completed and put into successful oper-
alton this new enterprise and the trial
run of the Badger Hill high grade from
the George & English lease was an en-
tire success.
SEVEN TRoUGHs THEREIN
Events are rapidly pushing the Seven
Troughs Therein up into the class of
the leading properties of the district.
The Mazuma Mining and Development
company, operating the Frye lease, has
practically doubled its operations by
putting a force of men at work on the
ore shoot opened up two weeks ago on
the surface when $4,000 ore was I'M
covered. Manager Sandifer's expert
ence with the excited crowd at the time
led him to the extreme Measure of fenc-
ing of the ground before resuming sur
face work. Up to date the high grade
values are holding up splendidly, prov
ing beyond . doubt that the rich ore
continues to depth.

is being graded on the hillside below
the mine, a well is being sunk In the
rayine below, and the big team which
has been used in hauling ore to the
railroad, is employed in bringing in the
frame work and machinery of the mill.
It will be several months yet before
the mine is two years old and IN that
time the shaft has been sunk to the
fourth level, crosscuts and drifts have
been made on each floor, blocking out
a very large quantity of very rich ore,
which will no doubt be turning out
rich gold bullion before the second IN
niversary Of the discovery of the ia
nous dyke.
RAMSEY CUSTOM MILL
Plans are being laid and preliminary
steps taken for the construction OF q
custom mill in this district. This is
being done by George L. Kaeding, who
is now engaged in constructing the
Ramsey Comstock mill for that COM
pany.
One of the hardest problems for the
mill men to solve most everywhere on
the Nevada plateau is that of a water
supply. In this district, however, all
the water that is needed for milling
purposes may be developed by sinking
shallow wells wherever surface indica-
lions show that it exists. Because OF
this fact and from the further fact wide
lodges Of pay ore are being developed
on all sides Of the district, Mr.. Kaeding
has given serious consideration to the
erection of a reduction plant at a point
convenient to all the mines.

From every appearance Ramsey is
destined to become one Of the rich pro-
ducers of Nevada. The Ramsey Re-
corder in its latest issue contains much
interesting data regarding the camp,
from which the following facts are
cleaned:
DEAL AT oARAvANTA
Eugene Garavanta, principal owner
Of the Garavanta group of claims, con-
firms the report of a bond and lease
being made on the property. The
amount of the bond could not be learned
definitely. but it is understood to be be-
tween $50, 900 and 500 1000. This is the
largest deal aver opened in this dis
trict and goes to show the rapid strides
this mineral belt has made in the past
two years.
RICH ORE ON FISHER
Prospecting has been going on lately
on the Fisher No. 2 claim, one of the
group belonging to the Ramsey brothers
of this district. As a consequence an
other ledge containing high surface
values has been opened and makes an
other strike in this remarkable mineral
belt. Lodges trend through the Fisher
claims in great numbers, not only those
having the regular northeast and south
west trend but some very strong cross
assures outcrop on the ground.
wALKovER
Another rich vein has been opened on
the Walkover claim, one that runs par
allel to the big vein they have been
following with the shaft, that promises
to develop into something wen richer
and better than anything as yet seen
on that acreage.
The owners have held the theory for
a long time that other rich veins would
be found outside the hanging wall of
the big dyke and the strike just made
would indicate that they were nothing
amiss "a their reckonings. Several feet
of high grade has already been uncov-
cred from which some sensational pan
nings are being shown.
BONANZA
At the Ramsey Bonanza group devel-
opment continues. The acreage is pro-
life of values and a half dozen lodges
are exposed where good paintings may
be obtained. Now that work at the
Ella group has uncovered rich ore that
part Of the district Is looking better
than ever.
