James J. McQuillan Pronounces New
Find to be the Best that Has Been
Opened Up in this State During the
Past Four Years.

erty, we, one and all, conceded it to
be the greatest discovery that has
been made in southern Nevada with
in the last four years. If a person
will only stop and think of the net
returns received by the leasers and
of the volume of ore being shipped to
the smelters, they can readily see
that the district needs no boosting
whatever.
One of the greatest and main
thing in connection with the mine is
the courtesy extended to all visitors
by ]. H. Miller and his partners, and
they are willing at any time of the
day and night to accompany those
who wish to go over the district.
I'VE spent sometime in the under
ground workings which are at a
depth of about 165 feet below the
tunnel, examining the various bodies
pings are very small and it is amaz-
ing to notice how they have widened
as depth has been secured. 1t is al
so the opinion of the prominent en-
gineers that the bodies will continue
to increase in size and strength as
additional depth is recorded.
'On the extension of this property,
to the west, ]. F. Mitchell, the well
known mining man, who two years
ago was candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket, has a lease
which promises him untold wealth.
Adjoining this to the west, T. L. Cd
die, our fellow townsman, who is al
ways devoting his time for the adj
vancement of southern Nevada, and
who is generally the first to enter a
new district, as he was to enter Ton
opah, has secured a lease. Mr.. Cd
die has also secured lease adjoining
the big property on the east, and
without question of doubt his prop
critics are two of the best in the dis
trict and before long he should reap
the reward that is due him for his
efforts in building up this portion of
| the state of which he as always been
a prominent factor. Mr. Oddie is in
that camp now preparing for the
work of developing, which after be-
ing started will be rushed.
The entire district is scene of
activity and l believe that there are
at the present over 400 men scatter
ed through it. OF course the major
ity of these are employed at the big
lease, but a number of smaller prop
critics have started operations. The
groupings can be traced across the
country for quite distance SO there
is no doubt that the immense lodges
will be found at small depth.

QUITE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
LUCKY BOY MINING DISTRICT


its way over these King Solomon
mines, and during the building of
this road the graders cut the crop
ping seam, less than an inch wide,
but no attention was paid to it as the
country in that section abounds with
small stringers. This great discovery
is proof of what labor and pluck will
accomplish. The locators were will
ing to put their hard earnings into
the ground to prove whether the
seam would widen and the values in
crease with depth. After the seam
or vain had been sunk upon at the
small depth of thirty feet the values
began to increase and a ledge six or
eight inches wide was in evidence. A
few feet more told the owners that
they had a mine and when 200 feet
down in the depths of the mountain
it was then seen that the locators
had whale of an ore body from
which to extract the rich metals and
which will make them all million
aires, for it will not take long with
the high values and large bodies of
this ore to class them as the money
kings of Nevada, and they are all de-
serving of it, for the boys are Ne
vadans, both in fact and spirit.
But the best news of all, is to
know that T. L. Oddie, Tonopah's
Oddie, is again to recover his lost
fortune Cost in helping and aiding
others), in his new colorado, for he
has bond and lease on both ends
of the big ledge from which the ore
is now being mined and shipped"
Messrs Douglass, Kendall and Tar
pey, who composed the party with
which Mr.. McQuillan journeyed to the
district, are expected to return to
this city sometime during the early
part of this week

James j. McQuillan, who spent
several days of the past week in the
Hawthorne district examining the new
ly opened up mining district seven
miles west of that place, gave this
interview to the Daily Bonanza last
evening:
You can't say too much of the
district for it is going to be one of
the best in southern Nevada. The
scene of where the fabulous ore bod
les have been opened up is known as
the Alum creek mining district,
which is controlled and owned ex-
clusively by j. H. Miller, j. A.
Adams, Ed Halter and Alva Miller
They have three claims known as the
Mountain King, Mountain Queen and
the Mountain Lion, also the Lucky
Boy group of four claims known as
the Lucky Boy Nos. 1, 8, and 5.
The Mountain King claim, where
the big ore body was found, is being
developed by the Goldfield Alamo
Leasing company. This is also called
the Hubbard and Patrick lease They
have $50 men employed and of this
number twenty-six are doing nothing
but sacking ore, and then they have a
hard time to keep up with the ex-
traction. On the road between the
ping point, distance of twelve miles,
over 400 head of horses are engaged
in the work of hauling ore to the
railroad. The shaft is now at depth
of $50 feet from the groupings where
the immense body of ore has been
opened up. This ledge will average
about five feet in width and is being
developed in an extensive manner so
that the operators can ship to tile
fullest extent. The present shipments
will average about sixty tons daily,
and from statements that were shown
to me during my stay, the ore will
average without any sorting what
ever, about 200 ounces in silver and
2S Per cent in lead.
The camp has been visited lately
by many prominent mining men and
engineers, who hail from every part
of the country and particularly from
southern Nevada, and not one of
them hesitated in stating that it was
conceded to be the deepest and most
permanent character of ore that they
had ever examined The formation
of the ledge consists of steel galena
silver tepratraliedrite, grey copper
black metal, bromide silver and gold
