BIG 1NJuN NINE

James Kennedy of the Big lnjun
mine was in Hawthorne Monday. He
reports that operations have beer re-
sumed on the property, a contract hav-
ing been let for 10 feet of work. The
company has been recognized and Mr..
Kennedy is paying up all the old bills
made by the old management. The
property is a good one, having a large
body of milling ore blocked out and an
up-to-date mill installed on the ground
and ready for business. AS the present
management are mining men and ener-
getic it looks like the Big Injun would
shortly take its proper place among the
producing mines of Nevada Western

MINING NOTES FROM THE
BATTLE MOUNTAIN HERALD


Development in the Nevadan com
pany's ground is progressing satisfac-
torily and a new strike of free-milling
gold ore has Just been made in the shaft
which is being sunk in a 15-foot ledge.
The Golden Era has been taking out
and sacking gold ore for some time now
and will NJ shipping very
shortly.
The Little Giant loaded ont a ear of
high grade lead-silver ore this week to
go to the Utah smelters.
C. W. Burge reports five feet of ship
ping ore in the 2l0-foot shaft ON the
Western. The ore is being taken out at
the rate Of several tons per day pre-
paratory to shipment.

CAMP

j. L. Madden came back Sunday
from a trip to Cloverdale where he is
interested in mining property. He
states that the mineral showing in the
camp is very gratifying and that
the district has great possibilities. What
is known as the United Verde ground,
owned by local people is being devel-
oped. A tunnel has been run 270 feet
backs of 125 feet of good ore.
The average values in gold run from So
to $40 with high grade in spots. Mr..
Madden says the formation at Clover
dale is very similar to that at Tonopah
and that is well to keep IN eye on
Cloverdale.

CIV johnson, who is the promoter
manager of the leasing company, re-
turned during the week from a trip 10
Denver. Mr.. johnson is nothing If he
ism, a hustler and it is due to his en-
erpv and rustic that the mill is going
up as rapidly as it is.
During his visit Mr.. Johnson got hg
nres for a cyaniding plant in connection
with his mill and ne will now determine
whether or not it will pay him to in
stall it.
While the ores of the camp have here
tofore been free-milling, of late there
have been discoveries made which VIII

Three machine drills have arrived
which Mr.. Johnson purchased during
his trip to Denver and these will be put

There are several lodges which run
through the Daisy ground which have
also been proven in the Fairview. So
far as they have been developed they
have shown Improvement both as to size
and value as depth was attained.
There are already several dumps of
ore with sufficient tonnage in them to
feed the new mill for some time to
come.
1t is estimated that the ore dump on
the old Munholland lease will run better
than $50 to the ton and there are over
FIVE hundred tons of this all ready to

CACTUS RANGE

Thomas Kearney, M. E., of Goldfeld,
has returned from Cactus Range, which
is now known as Ralston, 231a miles
from Goldfeld, bringing with him ore
from nine new claims, making sixteen
in all that he and s. Strauss are inter
ested in. The assays run as high as
$3.50 a ton. The claims are known as
the New England group. Messrs. Kear-
ney and Strauss will put in a windlass
and hoist and continue development
work, and later ON will install other ma
chinery.

timbers as the presence of water in the
shaft has made the ground too soft to
proceed without them. A supply is now
on hand and everything is in readiness
to steadily advance and crosscut the
wide porphyry dyke when the first level
is reached.
Golden West
Steady development of the Golden
West group is serving all the more to
keep that property in favorable notice.
The owner continues with a tunnel to
open the two big lodges, although it is
intended to do considerable sinking in
the near future. Both the north and
south leads, as he has distinguished two
great lodges trending through the
estate, have been opened at surface
quite extensively and ore is exposed
that certainly comes through with
coarse gold in great shape.
Silk Hat Group
Arrangement is being made to start
development on the Silk Hat claims
property of the Fairview-M izpah Min
ing company. The group is situated on
Comstock mountain and consists of
three claims known as Silk Hat, Sun
bonnet and Morning Star, all of which
aaloin and cover the very best mineral
lied portion of the big yellow hill.
Rather No. 2
With the arrival of a 30 horse power
hoist for the Rather No. 2 mine this
week, it certainly looks as though the
were going to develop that prop
erty in a rapid and substantial way. 1t

The ore shipments over the Tonopah
and Goldfeld railroad for the week to
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted of 1870 tons from the Tonopah
Extension and 100 tons from the Mac
Namara, says the Miner.
The Tonopah company sent 3,430
tons, the Belmont company 1000 tons,
the Montana onopah $50 tons, .he
Midway 100 tons, tn MacNamara 800
tons, West End $50 tons, and Jim Butler
40 tons to the mills, making the total
shipments for the week to the mills
6,070 tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was $500 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued ct
$50 a ton and the milling ore at $25 a
tony of sl65,55O.

there is little or no change in the vari-
Gus Slopes and drifts, the ore bodies
maintaining their strength and values.
During the past week ia feet % new
ground was broken in the Silver Top
claim and 172 feet in the Mizpah, max
ing a total of 2s6 feet of new work.
Jim Butler
After a short interval the Jim Butler
Mining company has again entered The
shipping list, the shipments this week
consisting of 200 tons to the Belmont
mill. Regular eonsignments will be
made from now on, as they are working
in ore in several places in the mine, the
veins showing up strong and carrying
good values. No attempt will be .iade
to make heavy shipments, the manage
ment devoting the most of it's time to
the opening up of the ground. During
the past week a total of 100 feet OF new
ground was broken, the most of IT he

carried on from both the Stone cGhin

The work of examining, sampling and
measuring the ore bodies of the Tono-

The coming fall season promises
much for the great Ramsey omstock
mine and will mark the commencement
of the most important era in the his
tory of that rich property, says the Re-
corder. This is so because the company
is having completed a 250-ton capacity
mill, which will soon commence turning
out a regular quota of gold bullion.
There is nothing of more consequence
to a mining property than the actual
production of shining gold bars and
when the Ramsey omstock commences
forwarding them to the United States
mint the effect will not only prove in
teresting to the stockholders, but the
entire district will be looked to with an
even greater interest than has before
been noted.
There is no question that the ore
reserves of the mine will supply a suf-
ficient daily tonnage to keep the mill
grinding away for a long period of
time. Every level, down to and includ-
ing the fourth, has been extensively
and in every drift there is
an enormous quantity of rich
ore that will make frequent and valu-
able ~cleanups. Even the outcrop itself
will furnish such a quantity Of ore that
it will require a number of months to
it and extract the gold values,
and whenever they commence crushing
the rock, from that ~outeropping, more

New Comstock

The New Comstock mine, situated N
Fuller Spring canyon, about one mile
east of town is showing steady improve
ment as sinking progresses. The shaft
is being lowered zeal the center of the
enormous dyke and as it goes down
veins are encountered, containing a
very fne looking quartz which carries
sulphides and free gold. Sulphides in
this mine were encountered very close
to surface, where a shaft was originally
sunk in a ravine to obtain a water sup
ply. Water was obtained within a few
feet of surface, but further sinking
showed that ore was contained in the
well so it was concluded to use it to ex-
plare the dyke instead of a source of
water supply.

tinues along the big granite and lime

Fahy Lease
Things are progressing nicely on the
Fahy lease, on Ramsey-Ophir groun,l
next to the Ramsey omstoek mine,
where sinking is steadily advancing IN
the incline shaft. The present plan IS
to continue the shaft another 200 feet
or more before any stop is made for
prosecuting or drifting. This idea pre-
walls because of the very substantial re-
suits obtained at greatest depth in the
adjoining mine, the deep, sulphide ores
being of such value that a large ouan-
tity would pay well to ship.

postponed meeting of the stockholders,
which will be held in September. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Krumb and his as
s~istants will nave completed their work
in the mine within the next two weeks,
when the task of preparing the report
will begin.
Throughout the mine the regular
work has been going on without inter
ruption. Stopping continues on the ore
blocked out by the several raises from
the 600-foot level in the western por-
tion of the property, the vein showing
up in fine form and producing an aver
age of 5 feet of good ore.
MacNamara
Now that the ban has been removed
and they are permitted to mine and ex
tract ore from all portions of the prop
erty within their lines, the work in the
MacNamara is being carried on with a
lively pace. The pipeline which is to
be used to obtain air for power from
the Tonopah Extension to run three adj
ditional drills is being laid as fast as
possible, and it is expected that by
the first of the week it will have been
completed. when sever machine drills
will be put in operation, four of them
on ore and the balance on development
work. Within the past week consider
able surface improvements have been
made, including the building of a large
blacksmith shop and change house. The
ore shipments this week consisted Of
eight cars, averaging 80 tons each, six
of them going to the mill and w to
the smelter. Included in this week
shipment are three ears from the mill
dump, which is now about cleaned up.
The shipments from now on will moss
likely average six ears per week. From
February 1st last the MacNamara mine
has shipped a total of ~ ears, averag-
ing so tons of ore each, which has re-
turned nearly $40 a ton net. This is an
average of II ears, or 600 tons per
month. When it is considered that all
of this ore came from a section IF
ground about 200 feet in length and was
all mined from the 300-foot level, the
record made is wonderful.
West End Consolidated
The shipments of ore from this mine
this week were the heaviest in its lis
tory, $50 tons being sent to the mill.
The most of this ore came from The new
find in the Corkill shaft, which is being
opened up as fast as possible, and
and promises a heavy tonnage in the
future. The east and west drifts from
the bottom of the shaft made good pro-
gress this week, the faces showing
quartz and stringers of cool ore.
Preparations are now under way to be-
gin raising from the west drift TO tap

Belmont
The Improvement in the underground
workings of the Tonopah Belmont mine
noted in these columns of late continues
this week, and the mine in general IS
looking better than it has for many
months. Especially is this so on the
~1,0OO-foot level, where the ore bodies
being developed have strengthened con-
siderably since last report and give
every evidence of making the Belmont
one of the biggest mines in the state.
In the face of the east drift on the A
vein, 80 feet north Of the Mizpah fault,
the ledge shows a width of over 2h
feet, all of which is good ore. This
vein when first cut by the main east
crosscut was but 10 inches wide. The
face of the west drift along the hang
ing wall of the Mizpah fault also shows
the veins to be gaining strength, there
being now exposed nearly a foot more
ore than shown last week. In the Wine
on the big ore body exposed by the east
drift from No. "a south erosseut there
is nothing but ore in sight. The pitch
of this Wine is being gradually
changed. so as to work Owe to the
hanging wall of the vein. From what
has already been proven this vein is at
least 90 feet wide at the bottom of the
winze, and how much wider will only be
known after the whole ore body has
been crosscut. As they get nearer the
hanging wall the values are increasing,
and it is more than probable that a rich
streak is following that wall down.
Midway
Energetic prospecting and develop
ment work continue on he various
levels of this property, the most of
which is being done on the southern
portion of the holding, which sidelines
the Tonopah Mining %company's claims.
The slopes on the various levels are pro-
ducing the regular tonnage and show no
particular change in the backs, the
veins holding their own in strength and
values. The face of the east drift from
the south crosscut on the 335-foot level
shows a nice vein of ore about two feet
wide, all of which carries high shipping
values. The southeast crosseut on the
535-foot level was sent ahead about 20
feet this week and is out $40 feet. A
raise will soon be started from this
to catch up on the level above.
The raise in the big body of quartz on
the S35-foot level was advanced a few
feet this week, the top showing no par
ticular improvement, spots of ore con-
tinually appearing in the quartz. The
regular shipments of ore went to the
mill this week.
