A modern mill for the Granite dis
trict. to be set up at Mud Springs,
is the latest news coming from the
new gold section, 80 miles northeast
of Ely City. The mill. negotiations
for which are being carried on at
present. will handle custom ore of
the district
Superintendent d. Clark of the
Blaine Is dickering with the White
Pine Gold Mining company for their
five stamp mill located short dis
tance from Cherry Creek, and, ac-
cordin., to report received last even
ing. it seems that the deal will 90
through. The White Pine company
is not operating at present, its prop
erty being under attachment. This
lends force to the idea that the mill
can be secured cheaply.
From John Campbell. the we'll
known rancher whose property lies
in the center of the district, comes
the report of an additional gold dis
covery on the Elvan property, which
adjoins the Independence claim Of
the Blaine. A four foot vein of gold
ore which will not run less than $40
to the ton has been opened, so feet
in the tunnel All the drillings pan.
The Elvan consists OF a groupeof
seven claims which Mr.. Campbell has
owned for several years. The surface
indications are much the same as
those in the surrounding country.
Two men have been constantly at
work in the tunnel since last fall.
The property joins onto the Inde-
pendence of the Blaine company and
the Bunker Hill Sullivan on the
north and the Side Guard on the
south. II is on a line with the Vu-
can.
Another strike of good proportions
Is reported by Mr.. Campbell on the
property of Ben Eastman, a 10 foot
vein of silver-lead ore, the largest
ever encountered in the district, hav-
ing been uncovered Friday. This
property lies a short distance south
of the Ben Hur.
City Marshall Hudgens returned
yesterday from the district after pass
ing two days on his property. con-
sisting of l 4 claims lying between the
Elvan and Ben Hur mines. While
on the ground he placed two men at
work sinking shaft which is now
down 80 feet, vein of ore panning
$75, from small seam. has been
encountered. The strike was made
on the Gold King.
Deputy Recorder A. G. Cunning
ham was also an arrival from the
district yesterday. having passed two
days examining a property for Reno
capitalists. He was so fayorably i'm
pressed with what he had seen that
he unhesitatingly declared that he
would recommend the purchase. He
refused to give the name of the prop
erty for publication.
E. A. Harrington, the local assayer
who moved a portion of his outfi. to
the Granite district, returned last
evening to secure the rest of it. He
will establish regular headquarters in
the new camp of Blaine.
O. f. Mann also returned, after
passing nearly all the week locating
property He also joined in the gen.
eral opinion that the district is a
winner. Il found one portion of the
district which | believe will be es-
pecially good This is in the foot
hills about three and half miles
northeast of Shepard. | located sew
eral claims and fractions there. On
one of these | found beside trace
of gold very distinctly defined cop
per stain which leads me to believe.
although | have not yet had the sam
pie assayed, that other metals beside
gold ard lead-silver may be found
there.
