RED BUTTE WILL SOON BE
IN REACH OF RAILROAD

A. P. Spitko and F. w. Gardner have
just returned from the new camp of
Red Butte, Humboldt county, Nevada,
where a district was organized on Sat
urday, with F. J. Moran as recorder,
says the Salt Lake Herald. Discussing
what has been doing and what the
prospects of the new camp amount to,
Mr.. Spitko said:
"The center of the district, Bonita
Springs, lies forty-six miles north of
Humboldt, New, and is reached by a
regular stake line from that point. The
Western Pacific is now building within
fourteen miles of the new camp. Many
remarkable showings have been and are
daily being made and high values in
copper, gold, silver and lead are being
obtained.
prominent among these strikes are
those made in the Ramel and Schmierer
properties, which have been developed
sufficiently to prove the permanency of
the diggings. A tunnel of forty feet
has been run on the Copper Queen
group, penetrating a rich vein in a
diagonal direction for a distance of
fourteen feet on the footwall side. The
first six feet consists of an iron Jasper,
carrying copper in the sulphides, black
oxide and native copper. The native
occurs in the fractures in astonishing
quantities. The other six feet is in
iron quartz, generally known as gossan,
with copper forming in the nature of
chalcocite and occasionally black OK
ides, some of it running as high as so
per cent copper. The vertical depth of
the tunnel from the surface is not over
twenty-five feet, and from the results
already obtained and showings opened
up on the surface along the length of
the claim makes it a proposition of
great promise. The width of the vein
is as yet not known, and it will require
prosecuting to ascertain it. A contract
was let for the tunnel to be driven in
another 100 feet. six feet wide and
seven feet high. F. w. Gardner and
are interested with Ramel and
in this copper property.
GA number of others have valuable
properties. Nick Cowles, on the FL
wood claim, has a showing of immense
size, assay returns showing As per cent
in copper. Anderson and Holcombe
and George A. Childers all have i'm
mense showings. One mile south of
the Ramei and Sehmierer gold ledge,
Clay and Coral Coveney have three par
allel veins averaging about three feet.
Returns give from $40 to SIS in gold
in free form, Is to 90 per cent copper
md 90 to 80 ounces silver. Altogether
the showing of the camp is remarkable.

Placer at RAWhide

'Rawhide is producing some placer
gold as well as wonderfully golden
quartz. Beginning a mile or more be-
low the business center, on Rawhide
Consolidated ground, IL 1easers are at
work, and all are elevating gravel that
would pay to work under ordinary con-
ditions. The theory is that below the
surface at varying depths, according to
the topography of the surface, there is
an old-time water course channel, in
which the gold bearing gravel is found.

Sphinx MIN Starts

The Sphinx mill is the fourth in
Round Mountain to begin the work of

has already one Of the largest ore
dumps in the camp and rhis will be run
at once. No decision has been reached
in regard to the resumption Of work in
the mine but there is enough ore on the
dump to keep the mill going for a con-

The explSitation 30 far advanced in
