RECORD STRIKE Is
MADE AT BELLHELEN
ASSAY ACROSS LEDGE RUNS
$275 A TON
Two-Inoh Strnger of Fine Quartz
Encountered on One Hundred
Foot Level of Nellie
BLY, Mine

From the Bellhelen mining district
in southern Nevada comes the story,
accompanied by photos, of the richest
strike in that section of the country
for many years, and if the present in
dications are carried to a successful
termination, one of the richest ever
made in the state. The strike is on
the property of the Nellie BLY, Mining
company, and was made by Superin-
tendent Yocom at the 100-foot level.
At this point ledge was encountered
which covers the whole bottom of the
shaft and gives an assay across it of
$275 to the ton Running through the
ledge is a tWo-inch stringer of fine
with wire gold, the value for the two
inches being in close proximity to
$15. 900 to the ton.
The news was brought to Goldfield
by George b. Phillips. who is in charge
of the Seiota-Nevada company, and
he was very enthusiastic at the recent
discovery in the camp. He declared
it to be one of the best propositions he
mas ever seen in Bellhelen or any other
camp, and declared it his firm belief,
after making an examination of the
property, that gigantic ledge has been
encountered, and that it will not be
necessary to go to much greater depth
before large body Of pay ore will be
opened up. He says that the entire
camp Is enthused over the strike, for
it means almost as much to the others
as it does to the owners of the prop
erty in question.
Plans for the future development of
the property are not definitely known,
as Melville A. BLY,, who has the control
ling interest and is the president Of
the company, is away at present. But
on the property and the latest discov-
cry there can be no question but that
aggressive development will be
started.
The accompanying phhotos give a
view and an idea of the
country. The Nellie BLY, mine is about
miles east from Tonopah.
That section of the country which was
up to two years ago unknown was
and opened up by BLY,,
Parker and Yocom.
Adjoining the Nellie BLY, mine is the
mine owned by Charles Schwab and
associates, upon which considerable
work and money have been expended
and which is now shipping.
1t is but few months ago that
George Wingfield Senator Nixon and
their associates purchased what is
known as the Cornforth mine for the
neat sum of $750,000. This property is
also shipping.
A twenty stamp custom will, which
was completed several months ago, is
now running to its full capacity with
the ore being sent to it from the i'm
mediate vicinity.

LOS ANGELES MEN TAKE
$25o,ooo BOND ON NINE

DOUGLAS, Nov. 1.-Capitalists of
Los Angeles, associates of Felix May
hew, have taken $250,000 bond on the
Crackerjack mining claim, in the Castle
Dome district. The bond was recorded
and made in the name of Mel Green
leaf, who is acting as agent in the
matter. The bond requires payment
of $4,000 within four months, the bal
ance in equal installments every six
months thereafter.
The mines were located five months
ago by R. d. Ortega. He was backed
financially by Rafael Monroy, Ramon
Villa and Felipe Ortez. These men, in
conjunction with Ortega, signed the
bond made to Greenleaf. The property
lies twelve miles southwest of the
North Star and King mines and is in
the same mineral belt. It was located
thirty years ago by A. H. Cowgirl and
w p. Miller, who were prospecting for
copper. 1t didn't look good for a cop
per proposition and its real value in
gold was overlooked.

Valuable Mining Ground Is Lost by
Claimant NegIecting Location Work

N OLDFIELD, Nov. IA wonderful-
VT ly rich prospective acreage is the
N Bulls and Bears ground, situated
two miles northeast of town. Adjoin-
ing the ground on the west is the ORC,
and a little farehr west Is the Booth,
and to the south is the Kewanas. The
property was located by different pros
pectors in 1903, and then transferred to
the Bulls and Bears.
In the following year it is alleged
that assessment work had not been
done according to law, and ]. H. Bow
en-, Charles Wise, Alden H. Brown, Ike
Mckay, r. T. Armstrong and Marion
Jones relocated the claims. The Bulls
and Bears company had practically
gone out of commission. and the ground
was being worked by the Norcross and
the Potter companies, which believed
they had clear title, and their em-
ployes made It interesting for the par
ties whom they regarded as jumpers.
They persisted, however, in survey
ing and doing their location work on
the ten claims. Patents were applied
for by the Norcross and Potter people
for the ground, and the relocators ad-
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-02

The capacity of the mill is forty tons
day. This value will give a gross
product of $4,000 a month. The water
supply is unusually large for a desert
region, a continuous flow of three
miners inches during the dry season
precluding the possibility of lack of
water for all purposes, although set
tling tanks will be installed in connec-
ton with the mill, resulting in saving
of 60 per cent of the supply.
While engaged in development work
in connection with well a large vein
of ore was encountered at a depth of
thirty feet carrying good values.

versed them. One year ago compro-
mise was made, and for a consideration
of 100000 shares of the stock and a
deed to three of the claims the adverse
was dismissed and the patent for the
entire acreage was quickly secured.
The claims which were decided over to
the relocators of the ground are the
Goldbug, Pearl City and Hawkeye. A
few days ago a cash offer of $4,000 was
refused.
Work on the Norcross shaft will be
started soon with the intention of put
ting the shaft down to a depth of 1000
feet with all possible speed. The pres
ent shaft is 125 feet long on the Black
Rock, and is equipped with a forty
horse power electric hoist and equip
ment sufficient to carry on the work
with speed. The controlling interest
in the stock of the company is held
by Butte investors. with ex-United
State Senator Lee Mantle as one of the
principal owners.
The story of the Bulls and Bears
will, it is said, be repeated on many
properties here and in other sections of
Nevada through the negligence of the
owners In not doing the annual work.
