GWEENAH WILL SOON
BE A SHIPPING CAMP

Gweenah, the new camp situated
eight miles west of Austin and two
miles north of the new chloride camp of
Skookum, will in a few days be placed
in the ranks of the high grade shipping
camps of the state.
The ores, so far, have been mostly
silver chlorides and bromides carrying
considerable values in gold. The veins
are blind, their location being discov-
cred only by deep trenching, and vary
from two to three feet wide, with pay
shoots ranging from 6 to Is inches.
The country rocks are lime, quartz
lite, slate, shale and ~porphyry. Por-
phyry predominates and forms contacts
with the lime. Contacts can also be OBJ
served between the quartzite and the
lime.
The camp possesses excellent ship
ping facilities over a good level road
20 the railroad, two miles distant. Good
roads also connect it with Austin and
Skookum. The town, while building
steadily, has not kept pace with the
development of the mineral resources.

PLENTY OF MONEY TO WORK
THE MINES AT PHON0LITE

.sPhonolite is about 10 miles from
Lodi. My brother located the Paymas-
ter Mining property and when the
Phonolite- Paymaster Mining company
was organized we were able to go
ahead and develop the ground with the
expenditure of scarcely any money. The
tunnel is now in over 500 feet, and the
miners who contracted to do the work
at $40 a foot took their pay in stock.
I don't believe they would have lone
that on any kind of a proposition that
did not possess exceeding merit, do
you?
"In addition to the Paymaster COM
pany, we also own the Phonolite-Silent
Friend company, which includes a group
of claims on the same vein as the Pay
master, and which adjoin the claims of
the latter company. We also own the
townsite and we are now arranging to
pipe water eight miles into it. We can
supply a city of $4,000 people nicely,
and | believe the district will contain
that many before a great while"
Mr.. Bruner exhibited a long string of
assays that had been made on samples
taken from the mine during his trip
there several weeks ago, and he also
exhibited the sensational returns that
the Phonolite News of last Saturday
displayed so prominently.
"We are not depending on the SEN
sational rock to make our proposition
go,n said the visitor. "We have a
splendid ledge and four feet of the ore
I know will average better than 800
a ton in free gold, to say nothing of the
silver. Twenty or $40 ore would be
good enough, but we know that we can
make such values look small. You will
see by and by that we have a great
camp and big mines"

prospecting for values is continued
without interruption. From the tested
value of the ground thus derived, the
lowest estimate places the daily wash
out of each giant at from 5000 to $500.
This estimate has to do with only the
ordinary output of the subsoil and does
not take into consideration the ex-
tremely rich pockets, kidneys and seams

HAS
GREAT FUTURE

RAYMOND c. Hudson. a wellknown en-
g;neer and expert who is on a tour OF
tho Florence mining district, when in
teryiewed by the Humboldt Star, said;
..The Florence mining district has a
great future. 1t shows great strength
and permanency in rich ore. Most every
showing that / have looked at IN the
last two or three days, can be converted
into a paying investment. You have
here only two smelling propositions al
present. The Baker galena property is
the largest in the state. They have a
phenomenal body of ore and II Is, In
my Judgment, n Of the four greatest
galena properties in all America. The
silver property on the Moon Anchor has
the earmarks of a big paying producer.
There is now a big volume of 1t, and
any grab sample would go at least 300
ounces. Both of these properties could
be worked at a handsome profit II they
were 200 miles from a railroad instead
of 100.
"The other properties here are OF a
free milling nature. Owing to the TACT
that you have wood and water on the
ground. it makes it possible to mill these
ores here on the ground at a small cost
Leads Well Defined

such large lodges. 1t is these facts that
make a great impression on mining men,
The high grade ore you have here, even
though no great quantity of it is found,
means a whole lot to he mining world
Even that is found in small, well defined
seams.
1T is my opinion, you can pay TOP
wages and then mill ore for $3.3o 10
$40 per ton. You have a world OF ore
here that can be mined easily, which

EXCITED OVER
FIND OF NATIVE COPPER

some very encouraging news from the
properties of the Western Nevada Cop
per company in the Yerington section.
In the main lower tunnel workings of
this company they are drifting and
prosecuting the vein matter and some
very high copper values have been en-
countered in this work. SO encouraged
is the management by the present show
ing that it has been decided to cut a
station and begin sinking a shaft from
the tunnel level. An engine has been
ordered, which will be installed in the
hosting plant, and the timbers for this
work are now on the ground. This
shaft will be sent down a depth of 800
feet in the country rock, and drifts
sent out from zach 100-foot level to in
tercept the ore channel. At the bottom
of this shaft the company will have at
tanned a depth of 500 feet from the
surface, and should put the workings
in "A heavier mineralized formation,
with uniform high values.
Gates Lease
From Buckskin comes the news that
the Gates lease on the Montague prop
erty is piling up ore on their dump that
will go $40 to the ton in gold. The ore
is being taken out of a tunnel that is in
200 feet. The owners of the property,
California capitalists, will visit the
property next week and decide whether
to build a mill at this time.

The Mason Valley mine comes to the
front this week with the greatest strike
thus far recorded in the history of the
Yerington district; in fact, the hnd is
the most phenomenal that has ever been
made in the history of copper mining
in the state, if not in the entire west,
says the Y~erington Times.
y~erington is in the throes of the
greatest excitement its already wonder
ful career has ever witnessed. Mining
copper in its pure, or native state, IS
the cause. The people have turned
their attention from gold and the town
is copper mad. Men are clustered
about the hotel Hobbies and on the
streets displaying specimens of the won
derfully rich ore and the air is full OF
optimism.
The story of the strike in a few
words, is as follows: Monday after
Moons shift in tunnel No. 3 broke into
as fine a body of ore as has ever been
broken into in natures treasure vault
of copper. The ore is cuprite and nj
tive copper associated, the latter occur
ing in the nature of wire gold in such
quantity as to hold the former in a
matrix. The gangue is chalcite, form
ing in the whole, the most beautiful
specimens that the eye of man has ever
gazed upon The ore will run in the
neighborhood of 20 per cent copper, 1t
being remembered that euprite, or the
red oxide of copper, is the very richest
that is found. So far as is known at
the present time the vein is all of six
feet in width. The strike was made at
a distance OF $50 feet beneath the sur
face on what is known as the west vein.

Three giants hurting their powerful
streams into the auriferous banks on
the slopes of Round Mountain is one of
the first sights to greet the passengers
as they drive by stage or auto into the
camps, says a correspondent of the Min
ing Record.
From a distance, these three streams,
which shine out like silver bands
against the dull brown background,
convey no idea of the fearful power
which is crushing every moment of the
day into the earth. 1t is only when
one stands near at hand that the muf-
fed roar of the streams. the crunehing
and grinding of the disintegrated rocks
and falling tons of soil give one any
appreciation of the terrific energy with
which the weight of water is hurled
Should a man be struck fair in the back
by one of these streams, his back would
be broken and the breath of life
knocked out before he could appreciate
what had struck him.
Two streams are working on the Sun
INSIDE acreage while the third is tear
ing down a 25-foot bank just below the
big dump on the property of the Round
Mountain Sphinx Mining company.
The big main flume is completed, over
100, 900 feet of lumber having been eu'
up into lengths during the past 30 days
in it's construction. At this writing
less than 90 lengths of pipe remain t.
be laid, which will connect up the third
giant with the 12-ineh main from JEFF
fcrson.
While the ground which is to be
worked by the Hydraulic company has
been prospected so thoroughly that il
would seem impossible that the value
of any portion of it should not %
known, vet the work of exploration ant

1t is evident that big money and big
talent are going into the camp OF
Phonolite, the camp in which the sensa-
tional Paymaster discoveries have
caused widespread attention during the
past few weeks, says the Salt Lake
Herald. While a camp paper has turned
loose a story on the camp that smacks
of the lurid and spectacular, sane peo-
pie, prominently connected with the
district, are telling stories that bear
the imprint of reason and sobriety and
carry the impression that the camp is
really one of exceptional merit.
R. E. Bruner, brother of the discov-
erer of the Paymaster mine. came in
from Kansas City a few days ago, ac-
companied by DIR. ]. Robert Moechel,
an expert chemist of the same place,
and together they left the camp. Mr..
Bruner is the head of the mining invest
ment firm of Roland E. Bruner & Co.,
which has been in business for the past
Is years, and he talks interestingly of
the new camp and the mines that he
and brother and his firm have captured
there. He was out there a few weeks
ago, and he returned to Kansas City
with hundreds of pounds of ore from
the mines, and with an outline of plants
that mean the building of a genuine
mining camp, a camp with push, energy,
money and, better than all, mines with
ore in them to back it.
81 am not at liberty to tell You all
that we are doing just yet, said Mr..
Bruner, ssbut l can say that one or two
of the best mining and smelling men
you have here are going to make an in
vestigation of our camp and its mines,
and l believe that this investigation
will result in their becoming identified
prominently with the propositions we
have to offer.

WILL CONSTRUCT MILL

The Masonic Nevada Milling and Re
duction company is about to close a con
tract for the handling of 5000 tons OF
ore for a company near Sweetwater
The contract will amount TO about $50,
900 and will be taken subject to the
construction of the mill within the next
several months. The mill company has
secured enough money now to insure
the construction and work will very
likely begin within a very short time.
