SLOWLY BUT SURELY MT.
GRANT FORCES AHEAD

Nj. Grant district is slowly but sure
ly coming to the front, and by this time
next year we expect to have some good
producers, says the Yerington Times.
Messrs. Daniels and Fowler, who
came here from Berkeley, California, a
few weeks ago, have discovered a rich
quartz ledge on open ground that ad-
joins the NJ. NJ. A. and Morgan proper
ties. The ledge is about two feet in
width and pans well in free gold. They
have located a group of five claims and
are hard at work sinking a shaft.
Messrs. Beaman and Osborn say they
will incorporate a company soon and
build a mill ON Cottonwood creek. They
have a shaft down 80 feet and have
drifted $50 feet ON the ledge. They
have been working three men steady
and have considerable ore on the dump.
Alfred Day of Rhyolite has gone to
Hawthorne to meet Denver and Los
Angeles people who are coming in to
look at his property. He has taken sam
pies from the ledge on his property that
assayed as high as 800 a ton in gold
and silver.
Owing to the scarcity of water there
is not much doing at the plaeers. A
reservoir should be built to work on a
large scale.

1--WE have sunk fifteen feet in the
second shaft we started on the ledge of
the Great Western and we haven Z got
the foot wall of the ledge yet. The
ledge outerops and We are prosecuting
it and every pound of ore that has been
taken out will pan free gold and will
better than fifteen dollars to
the ton,' says the Nugget.
As stated in last week s Nugget there
are two shafts about 200 feet apart GO
ing down OF this big ore body. Both of
these shaft are in ore. The dip of the
ledge is to the westward and as soon as
the foot wall is reached the work will
be an incline following it.
A third shaft is to be started on an
other ledge below the Sphinx dump
which was shown up through the me
dunn of the hydraulic work.
In the big Sunnyside mine the main
incline is nearing the 650-foot point at
which it is aimed and it shows the big
ledge up bigger and richer than ever.
Antelope
The Round Mountain Antelope Leas
ing company has started a new incline
ON its block on the Antelope claim
Superintendent Llewellyn is still stop
ing the ore out of the first incline shaft
which was sunk and he already has
quite a good sized dump which will mill
better than $50 to the ton
The same ledge which is being stopped
out of incline No. / is also cut in the
new incline as it comes to the surface.
1t is a blanket ledge laying almost fiat.
This is also the ore body which exists
in the Blaisdell- Paulsen lease and which
has given such remarkable values.
The values are not found consistently
so that constant paintings have to be
made in order to keep out these portions
of the ledge which are not sufficiently
rich to put through the mill and in
order not to miss any of the rich spots
are constantly being encountered.
Blackhawk
This weeks story from the ieasers On
the Blackhawk claim is a record of
progress.
The Husband-C Gushing shaft has at
tanned a depth of 23o feet and it is con
cutting through rich stringers
of high grade which foretell a proxim-
to the big ore body underneath. The
gold encountered is in the form of
flakes or leaves and the results obtained
from a panning are a thing of beauty
to the average mining man.
"Doc' H~arpending's shaft is now
about 165 feet deep and while it does
not prospect, the general formation is
becoming more and more satisfactory
depth.

Especial Correspondence

Chafey, New, Sept. 3.-The vein in
the shaft of the Black Hole mine,
owned by E. S. Chafey, which had been
maintaining an almost uninterrupted
width of five feet, last Saturday wild
ened to seven feet, and surprised all in
vestigators by showing an increase in
values from 800 per ton gross (Which
has been characteristic grade from the
beginning of production) to an average
of 1925 per ton net smelter returns.
The values are increasing also in the
breast of the tunnel. During Septem-
Der this property has yielded over 1000
tons, and when it is considered that
there has not been any capital ex-
pended on development whatever, that
shipments have been continuous since
they began last June 20, and that all
the work has been by hand, the Black
Holes record is phenomenal.
This mine has inspired the develop
ment, in famous old Dun Glen canyon,
a mile and one-half below its location
near the summit of the East Humboldt
range, of the town of Chafey. There
are upward of 800 people already in
the district contiguous to the town,
each enthusiastically declaring beliefs
that one of the biggest booms in the
history of Nevada is just ~ineubating in
this vicinity, on account of the exceed
ing richness of the Black Hole vein and
the undoubted existence of other mines
like it on the territory marked by the
prominent ~porphyry o~uteroppings which
extend to the north and south OF Chafey
for distances of twenty miles.

Hole FL Rancho Mining company, in

williams Lease on Rogers
J.. NJ. Williams has secured a W
years lease on the Rogers claim of the
Round Mountain Mining company
This claim runs along the base of
Round Mountain and the block secured
by Mr.. Williams is 600 by 500 feet.
Work will be commenced on the first
of September and it is part of the
agreement that a shaft will be sunk to
a vertical depth of 800 feet. 1t will
probably be sunk not far from the orig
inal trail which leads over the saddle.
This will be known as the Williams
lease and Mr.. Williams viii be in per
sonal control of the work as general
manager.
The ownership of the lease will be
divided. There will be ten shares. each
share to be sold at $1,000. Mr.. Williams
stated that six of these had already
been taken up and he anticipated no
difficulty in disposing of the remaining
four. Payments are to be made at the
rate of 800 per month in order to
carry on the work.
Mr.. Williams is a pioneer In the dis.
trict and is the owner of considerable
mining property. He is also one of the
principal owners of the rich silver
claim which is now in litigation.
sHUPPY LEASE
After several weeks of prospecting
during which time shaft was sunk and
considerable trenching done, the Shup-
v -Myies- Wise lease on the Mariposa
claim, now controlled by the Round
Mountain Mining company has located
a ledge which prospects well iii the
pan.
The ledge was encountered during the
progress of some trenchimg to the west

Work will thereby be discontinued
in the shaft and an incline will be

ATWOOD DISTRICT MAY
CAUSE NEXT SENSATION

The Atwood district will in all prob
ability furnish the next sensation in
mining circles. The men who have
stood faithfully by the camp are on the
eve of receiving their reward. Work is
being prosecuted on every property in
the camp and ~lease-s are getting good
returns.
Frank Everett of the Gold Crown
Mining company arrived in this city
yesterday, bringing several chunks of
ore from a vein IL to "a inches wide on
that property.
The find was made at a depth of 14O
feet and they are drifting, sinking and
raising to determine the extent of the
ledge. Water has been encountered on
the lower levels, but the installation of
a large Cameron pump with a capacity
of 100 gallons per minute will unwater
the mine in from seven to ten days.
The ore in the vein encountered will
run from $275 to $500 and is composed
of values in gold, silver and copper,
the ratio being one-third gold. The ore
is of the same character as that found
in the Tonopah mines and is the geo
logical formation of the country. The
property has a gasoline hoist and a
force of IL men is at work in the mine.
The Butler mine, in the same vicin-
ity, has a magnificent showing. They
are employing six men and are hosting
ore to the surface, putting it in can
vas sacks and nave a big amount for
shipment. Western Nevada Miner.

NEW CAMP OF CHAFEY
IS A HEAVY PRODUCER

the mex twelve feet will disclose a FIVE
foot body of ore that carries at the sur
face better than 5000 per ton, and of a
free milling quality. He was saeking
this class when the tunnel was designed
to erosscut the ledge, in order that oper-
ations might be prosecuted more eco
nomieally. Three months have there
fore elapsed since FL Ranches richness
was first announced, without it's max
ing any further noise. Today Manager
Quincy says: ~ will be shipping high
grade equal to that of the Black Hole
inside of two weeks, and the public may
count on this property showing up
equally as fertile and capable of as big
shipping records as that property is
making"
FL Rancho property is a mile and
one-half east of Tiptop camp, which is
Chafey camp; and the success of Man
ager Gurney's development operations
has inspired other Tiptop claim owners
with confidence that another big pro-
ductive district will center at that
point as soon as Ell Rancho begins to
send out consignments to Mill City.
In the meantime there is to be a mill
built for handling FL Ranches low
grades, which average around $25 per
49,. - xl,o a,<.., xrrolxra Foot width
between walls. Values are in very soft
decomposed iron and quartz and por-
phyry, and the vein is emitting large
quantities of water, which drain
through the tunnel.
The Black Hole shaft will be
equipped with a 40-horse power hoist,
SO-horse power boiler, and quick action
skip, after which production is to be
increased to $500 to 5000 tons per
month, and comprehensive blocking out
of reserves ahead ~inaugurated. The
property's present reserve ore body,
positively demonstrated, is between 3d.
600 and $4,000 tons. Manager Chafey
declares he will have one year hence
the greatest ore reserve, susceptible of
actual measurement, ever disclosed in
any mine in Nevada. His vein is trace
able on the surface for 5000 feet, and
practically all the intervening territory
belongs to him.
In these areas leasers are working
quite successfully, considering they be-
gan since July Is last. Two are ship
ping and three others will join the
ranks of producers within two weeks.
The average milling grades secured
range from $50 to $25. Parts of the
veins carry also quartz streaks worth
800 to $500. some of which are being
mixed with the lower grades for mill
ing, while others are being sacked for
separate consignment. Among the sue
eessful owners of these leases are +. M.
McBee, A. E. Botterell, Elihu Palmer,
Jack Bishop, w. NJ. Horner, G. G.. Aus
tin, Ed Hart and r. M. Croker.
Chafey's September payroll ranges
around 10000; there are ample miners
for the demand; but many excellent OPP
portunities for men who command cap
ital in promising ground which assures
profitable results upon comparatively
small expenditure for development.

Tonopah Company

uood progress was made this week
in the sinking of the Mizpah shaft, the
bottom now being down 1917 feet, %
feet lower than last report, and show
ing no change in formation. In fact no
change is expected for some time, as
a drill hole sent down some time ago
exposed the character of the formation
for some distance lower than they are
at present. Right here we desire to
state that there is absolutely no truth
IN the story printed recently in a San
Francisco paper to the effect that a big
strike had been made ON this property
on the l,200-foot level. The falsity of
the report is proven by the fact that
the greatest depth on the property is in
the Mizpah shaft, which is some dis
lance from the 1.200-foot point. Drill
ing from the bottom of the Red Plume
shaft was suspended this week owing
to a break in some of the machinery.
rms break has been repaired and it is
expected that drilling will be started
again next Monday. The bottom of the
hole is 261 feet below the 5OO-foot level
In the shaft and is now in solid forma-
ton. The last 80 or 40 feet drilled was
very slow work, owing to the cavinp
nature of the ground, but this has been
passed through, and it is expected that
drilling will be started again next Mon.
day. The bottom of the hole is 267 feet
below the 500-foot level in the shaft
and is now in solid formation. The last
'o or ~ feet drilled was very slow
