Barker and Mears.
G. ID. Dorsey and Henry Elliot
have taken a lease from George Sto-
rey, and Mr.. Elliot is working in ore
and expects to make shipment very
soon.
The mountains of the Gold Circle
district are porphyry, and the ledges
so closely resembles the country rock
that it is often very difficult to dis
tinguish the lodges on the surface.
So difficult has this been that many
of the discoveries were only found
by long, tedious and systematic pan
ming which finally led the prospectors
to the source of the gold that had
been washed down. After little wcrk
has been done, he ledges show lit

1t is claimed that the Iedges AL
over the district pan. and from the
evidence seen by the writer this locs,
not seem to be an exaggeration. Long
strings Of ore are often panned out of
little pieces of the most worshioss
looking kind of rock--rock that even
few prospeetors would thinx contain
ed values.
One encouraging sign for the ,is
triet is that the values are rot con
fined to any one place, but are scat
tered over quite an extensive scope
of country. Where there is 80 much
gold on the surface, it is fair to as
sumo that some good mines will be
opened up.
The way to go to Gold Circle is by
Golconda. A stage has been raining
every Tuesday from Golconda to Clo-
yer Valley ranch, Is miles from Gold
Circle. The fare was $5 ono way.
This stage comes TO Golconda Monday
The only other way heretofore to get
to Gold Circle has been by livery ~
private rig or to go with the freight
teams. Livery rigs take 4 day and
half for the trip, and freight wagons
about two and half. A freight wag-
on and many of the lighter rigs, start
from Goleonda about noon, and spend
the night at the ranch of E. V. San
ders. This is Is miles. Then the
lighter rigs go on in to Gold Circle
the next day, while the freight teams
go only to the Glover Valley ranch, 90
miles bevond Sanders, and finish the
remaining Is miles the next day. Or,
if light rig leaves Golconda in the
morning, the Clover Valley ranch can
be easily reached to spend the night
and the remaining Is miles can be
easily made the next day.
Commencing February Is, Mr.. Dor
sey, the merchant, will put on stage
line, making the trip through in one
day from Goleonda, leaving the lat
ter place Wednesdays and Saturdays
A cook named Hart has established
half way station at Kelley's creek,
where the stage will change horses
and the passengers can get dinner.
The fare will be SIS for one way, or
so for the round trip.
Another man named Copeland has
started to fix up station at a place
called the Buck Brush, about two
miles west of Kelley creek, where
travellers can get something to eat.
Jim Boyle is running a big freight
outfit between Gold Circle and Col
conda, and aims to handle all the
business that comes his way. He has
fine outfit of both wagons and teams
and gets the goods through in the
least possible time and in frst-class
shape.
A move is on foot to extend tele-
phone line which runs from Battle
Mountain to ranch 25 miles from
that place, which would necessitate
the building of line about Is miles
long. Mr.. Dorsey and others are fig
ureing on this. A telephone line runs
to the Squaw Valley ranch from Col
conda, passing within a short distance
of Gold Circle, and it would be very
