BONANZA VALUES SHOW IN
GOLD ROCK FROM HILLTOP

Some remarkable specimens of free
gold ore were brought to Salt Lake City
Thursday by c. j. Nelson, one of the
large owners of the Hilltop property,
rear Battle Mountain, New, the prop
crty recently taken owe by p. j. Quealy
end his associates, says the Tribune.
Mr.. Nelson follows a shipment by ex
press of forty sacks of high grade gold
ore, the rock being taken out during
development work. These sacks will
average ninety-five pounds each, and,
while the ore has not been definitely
determined yet as to value, those who
claim to know believe it will run many
thousands of dollars per ton.
If the shipment is much like the sam
pies Mr.. Nelson displayed to a repre-
sentative of the Tribune yesterday
morning, it will bring forth a settle
ment that will come close to carrying
back to a Battle Mountain the record.
The ore is nearly all free gold, the yell
low metal being of a very pure char
acter and bright color, leaving but small
room for silver alloys to help bring
down the value.
Mr.. Nelson states that a large force
of men is now employed in getting down
to depth, the management sinking on
and driving a tunnel for the vein. This
extremely rich rock occurs in quartz
veins that cut the quartzite formation
in every direction like rays of light
from a common center. The vein itself
is a large contact, and outside of the
rich stringers are enough values to give
much of the vein a value from a milling
standpoint. Mr.. Nelson believes it will
make into one of the great milling
propositions of the country, and he con-
siders the bonanza high grade just as d
bit of sauce to give zest to the hunt for
tonnages instead of nuggets.

COLONEL GREENE'S METEORIC
CAREER Is NEARLY CLOSED

The lapsing of the concessions form.
erly granted to Col. w. c. Greene, III
Chihuahua, by the Mexican government
recalls the meteoric career of this
strange man.
Starting as a "cow- puncher, he set
the mining world agog by the opening
of the great Cananea copper fields.
With his success came great ambi-
lions, and in this was the direct cause
of his downfall. In measuring strength
with the veteran Wall street cam
paigner, he soon found that there Were
"ways that were dark and tricks that
were vain,' and it was not long before
he was deeply %entangled. He made :.
most courageous fight, but was finally
overcome. His great Cananea property
is in the hands of others; his other pro-
jects are scattered; his health is broken
and his star has lost its luster.
Now, as the last echo of his pyro-
tcchnic career, comes the forfeiture Of
the vast concessions of over 100000
acres in the state of Chihuahua.
While such men may be considered
as having failed, we can hardly say
that there has not been some measure
of success as a result of their efforts.
1t is, in all probability, safe to say that
Cananae would not be where it is to-
day, with it's production of millions of
pounds of copper, nor would some OF
the mineral possibilities of other sec
tions have been placed in position 10
attract attention, but for his energy.
and ambition.
Hundreds of prospectors have rushed
in to the concessions recently lapsetl,
but the government has withheld the
right of location until every doubt us
TO the forfeiture has been settled. 1T
he had not, in his ambition for great
things, demonstrated to the world thot
these concessions were valuable, 1T Is
certain that they would have remained
unsought today.
While such men do little for them
selves, they are a most potent factor
in the advancement of the interests OF
others, both generally and individually.
We can say, with a variation from the
original meaning: "The King is dead;
long live the King!"- Mining Science

ALUMINIUM FOR
ELECTRICAL work

According to j. T. w. Eehevarri in 9
paper recently read before the Institute
of Metals, the price of aluminium now
ranges from f65 to fl00 per ton, which
gives a wide and increasing field of use
fulness. The saving that can be ef-
fccted by substituting aluminium for
copper for overhead conductors is SO
large that in countries where long
overhead transmission lines arc common
the light metal is preferred. At its
present low price, the author believes
there is an extensive field for the metal
for insulated underground cables. Fol-
busbars and back connections in switch
boards, it is already being increasingly
used.

Railroad Outlook

The Rawhide Coalition Mines com

all that can possibly be done to encour-
age the railroad people to go ahead with
construction. Everything that can be
done in the line of financing the road
is being pushed, and from recent Ell,

though it would be only a matter of 4
short time before something tangible
can be announced.
Quite an important strike was re,
Gently made on the Rawhide Rather
lease on the Roseberry property where,
at a depth of 65 feet, a l0-foot vein Of
good milling ore has been opened NJ.
Assay tests across the entire ore body
show values ranging from $3.50 TO
$500 per ton, mostly gold. The VEN
was cut through on its dip, which is at
an angle of approximately 20 degrees
from the vertical. The gangue is a
silicious porphyry, the character OF the
ore being identical with those OF the
Truett, Miller and other big leaseholds
on the Hooligan hill section OF the
Coalition estate. The lead occupies q
assure in the shattered porphyry Of the
country. Much of the vein matter is a
solid quartz, showing heavy iron stains
and frequent splotches of free gold.

ONE more factor to Rawhide's future rs

TO create outside interest in the district

the fact that this gold is being pro

"Work on the National Ore Pur-
chasing and Reduction company big
milling plant will be pushed as rapidly
as men and money can do it," is the
expression made by Lochiel M. King,
metallurgical engineer of the company,
Yesterday, to the Press-Times. M.
King even went further, by stating that
they expected to have the mill COM
pleted within sixty days. Work VIII
be steadily continued on the ditch ami
it will be brought to completion
as 1901 as possible in order to get the
eater needed for the concrete found1-
zion of the plant. In the meantime the
grading for the mill will be pushed
rapidly. Mr.. King stated that men
would be put to work today.
John w. Heisner, president of the
company, has joined Mr.. King, and the
two will spend most of their time IN
experimenting the erection of the
plant.
The gentlemen inform us that the
last consignment of the machinery for
the entire plant will be shipped from
San Francisco by February 10th. In
the meantime such of it as has arrived
will be put in place as fast as possible.
The big pumps had'to be made to order
and the iron works is rushing them to
the limit. There will be -four large en-
gines used-two 5O-horse power and
two 25-horse power. These are ready
to ship, but Mr.. King told the manu-
facturers that he wanted the big pump
at the same time, and for this reason
the company is working it's entire force
on the pump.

the Goodwin shaft.
At the Nugent lease, on the Coalition
estate, the drifts on the vein recently
encountered on the 1O0-foot level about
90 feet west of the shaft are both GO

drift for the past few days has shown

is now in the permanent shipping class.
The oversize that is going to the mill
dump averages SIS a ton, and the prop
crty is in shape to send 20 tons a day ~

The Renfro lease, situated on the

foot level, where an S-inch streak OF
hard quartz is producing some of the
most beautiful free gold specimens ever
