RAWHIDE LEASES SHOW
MILL AND SHIPPING ORE
uy william P. d. Wolf, Special Repre- sentative of The News)


Rawhide. Nevada, March 12.-work
was resumed late last week at the lease
hold of the Rawhide Royal Mines com
rany upon the estate of the Royal
Tiger company, the resumption being
concurrent with a visit to the camp of
John f. Pelton, general manager of the
leasing company mentioned and of the
Rawhide Mining and Leasing company,
hitherto. operating the Big Four lease
on the estate of the Rawhide Consoli-
dated Mines company. Mr.. Pelton
states that his financial mission East in
the interest of the Royal Mines com
pany was decidedly satisfactory and
that the company treasury is now suffi
eicntly replenished to permit eontinu-
Gus operations at the lease for the re-
mainder of the current year, even
though not a pound of milling nor ship
ping grade ore be mined therefrom dur
ing that interval. No change will be
made in the development program as
arranged prior to the somewhat recent
cessation of operations. The main work
ing shaft will be sunk from a depth Of
440 feet to a depth of 500 feet as quick
ly as possible and at the lower point Il
crosscut will be run over to contact
with the bodies of shipping and milling
grade ores exposed in the upper levels.
Will Relinquish Big -Four.
Prior to departure for Reno Mr.. Pei
ton informed your correspondent that
the Rawhide Mining and Leasing COM
pany would in all probability relinquisa
it's Big Four lease on the estate of the
Rawhide Consolidated Mines company.
The reason assigned is the fact that
the company treasury is anaemic and
that it has to date been found impossi
bic to infuse it with financial strength.
The matter of renewing work at the
Big Four was gone over at some length
by Mr.. Pelton and Mr.. Merriam of the
leasing company with the Grutt boys,
owners of the control of the CONSOLE
dated Mining company. 1t was imme-
diately subsequent to the conference
that Mr.. Pelton announced to your
correspondent the tentative decision to
forfeit the lease. Later in the year a
lease may be secured on other property
to safeguard the interests of holders OF
Rawhide Mining and Leasing shares.
Hawkins Likes the Camp.
Rawhide was favored with a visit
late last week from John T. Hawkins,
a gentleman for many years fieldman
in the employ of James +. Burns, the
largest individual owner of shares in
the Portland Gold Mining company,
Cripple Creeks gold bonanza. Like
wise, Mr.. Hawkins services as mining

engineer and metallurgist have from
time to time been requisitioned by
Messers Tut and Penrose, information
ally known as successful mine and mill
operators. While refusing to sta > in
whose interest his visit to this camp
was made, Mr.. Hawkins did state that
it was quite probable his principals
would invest here, adding that should
they, the venture would not partake of
a stock selling nature, but would be
thoroughly financed by the gentlemen
in question. 1t is the opinion of MIR.
Hawkins that the local area of ore de-
position is large and rich, and that pay
ing values prevail to great depth.
Good Showing in Mint.
The day following Mr.. Taft's in
auguration as president of the United
States the Weiss mill, located on the
flat below the TOWNSHIP, began it's mi
tial run on ore. The first consignment
comprises 80 tons of quartz from the
famous Mint lease on the estate of the
Rawhide Coalition Mines company. 1t
represents ore removed from dump and
is thought to have an average value OF
SIS per ton. Returns at hand on the
recent run at the Murray mill on 100
tons of Mint ore demonstrate it to
have had an average value of $50 per
ton. That ore, like the consignment
now being reduced at the Weiss plant,
was taken from the dump and was esti-
mated to have a value of SIS a ton. The
bar of bullion reclaimed from the ore
run through the Murray mill has value
of $4,000. 1t is the opinion of Messrs.
Shaffer and Charming of the Mint
lease that the Murray plant is not saw
ing in excess of IS per cent of the
precious metal contents. 1t is reported
that the Mint management has leased
the Murray plant. While the report is
untrue at time of fling these dis
patches it will quite probably be true
before they are in type.
The ore body recently encountered
on the 300-foot level in the Mint lease
workings varies in width from four to
six feet and nets from $2S to $50 per
ton. This is the sort of ore the MAJ
agement is having milled locally; not a
single shipment but many shipments.
The deposit has been followed north n
length of 80 feet and south a length of
10 feet without decrease in average
value of its break, exclusive of high
grade seams. The ore from the latter
sacks at from $500 to $500 the ton in
from three to five ton lots.

is looked for until the contact encount-
cred by the drill at the 765-foot point

about seven feet of quartz, carrying

Improvement has taken place during the

now exposes four feet of excellent mill

to note in the other workings; the
different Slopes and drifts are produc-
ing the usual amount of ore and show
the veins to be of about the same
strength and richness as last week. The

for the past four or five months. The
bodies of ore in these workings show
great strength and have produced a
very large tonnage of ore and still er
pose a large quantity of ore, but 1t IS
realized that development must keep

While there is nothing of a sensa-
tional nature to report from the work
ings on the Tonopah Mining company s
acreage this week, the work of open
ing up the property on the various
levels has continued undated. At pres
ent the principal interest centers on
the operations being carried on in the
Mizpah shaft where the new pump has
recently been installed and all propara-
tions made for sending the shaft down
to the 1500-foot point, at which depth
ii is the intention to carry on prospect
ing on a larger scale. During the past
week the work of installing the pump
and the necessary accessories has be III
completed and the machinery given a
trial test, which proved to be satisfac-
tory from every point of view. 1t is
more than probable that actual sinking
in the shaft will commence today AMI,
barring slight stoppages that may DE
necessary to adjust portions of the
machinery, it is expected that good
progress will be made, until the 1900
foot point is reached. This will re-
quire $50 feet of sinking, which will in
clude a stump at the bottom of the
shaft. No trouble is anticipated from
water, as the pump has a capacity of
200 gallons a minute, or over 10 times
the present flow.
The Red Plume shaft has lowered 81
feet during the week and is now 40 feet
below the 4O0-foot level of the shaft,
which corresponds with the 500-foot
level of the Mizpah workings, the col
lar of the Mizpah shaft being 100 feet
higher than that of the Red Plume
The contact exposed by the Calyx drill
sent down some time & was encount'
cred by the shaft this week about 10
feet below the old workings, which
shows the formation to be oxidized
porphyry. There is yet about so feet
to go before cncountering the body OF
quartz shown up by the drill, which
passed through a body of quartz fully
10 feet thick carrying some values. A
station will be cut out when the shaft
reaches the 5OO-foot point and cross
cuts sent out north and south. The
shaft will be continued to the 600-foot
level, where the same line Of work will
he inaugurated. 1t is proposed to car
ry ON an extensive plan of prospecting
from this shaft, as the formation has
been proven to be very promising. Dur
ing the past week a total of 1876 feet
of new ground was broken-270 feet in
the Mizpah workings, 90 in Silver T,r
ground and 80 in the Red Plume.

GREATNESS OF TONOPAH
MORE EVIDENT WITH DEPTH
(From the Tonopah Miner.)

As the work at different points pro
crosses, the proportions of the ore
bodies grow until there seems to be 40
limit. The slopes from the 1100-foot
level, on both sides of the winze, con
tinue to show nothing but pay rock,
the vein in the westerly workings main
tanning a width of IL feet, while over 5
feet of ore is exposed in the east stope.
1t has now been demonstrated beyond
doubt that this big ore body is a con
tinuation of the famous Mizpah vein,
which had been displaced at this point
by a fault. The improvement noted
last week in the east drift from the 125-
foot point of 1856 winze, which was
sent down on the vein lying along the
north or hanging wall of the Mizpln
fault, continues this week. This drift
S being sent along 10 feet wide and
he face shows fully s feet of ore.
Raises are now being sent up into this
ore Eody, and in a short time some
thing will be known of its extent.
Preparations are now being made 20
dnwater and clean out the Belmont
shaft. A sinking pump and small hoist
are on the ground and a pipeline to
convey air for power is being laid. No
trouble is anticipated from water, as
he crosscut sent out on the 1000-foot
,evel, and which has reached a point
underneath the bottom of the shaft full
,y 400 feet deeper, is absolutely dry.
It is thought the water comes from some
small seam or c~reviee, which will soon
drain itself out. When the cleaning
of the shaft has been completed a six
inch churn drill will be sent down TO
make connection with the crosscut IN
the l000-foot level, which will require
about three weeks time, after which
the work of raising the three compart-
ment shaft will be started. As soon
as this portion of the shaft has been
completed, the old shaft, which is two
compartment, will be widened out 10
three compartment.
While this work will occupy a long
time to complete, it is absolutely neces-
sary before the task of sinking to the
l500-foot point is undertaken. The
usual progress was made in all points
in the mine where operations are being
carried on, a total of 149 feet of new
ground having been broken. This is
exclusive of the extensive work being
done in the slopes, which includes con-
siderable prospecting in addition to the
extraction of ore.

Marigold Will Ship.

Another shipment Of ore is being pre-
pared at the Marigold lease on the
estate of the Rawhide Coalition Mines
company and will be billed to sampler
at Hazen about the middle of the eur
rent month. Returns at hand from the
last consignment demonstrate a net
value to the Marigold management Of
$l9S.30 per ton. 1t is thought the 40
tons now being conserved will net close
to $500 the ton as more care is being
exercised in sorting. The ore is being
mined in the north drive on the 49,
foot level, where is exposed the best
defined and most thoroughly and uni
formly enriched deposit of gold-siiver
bearing ore thus far encountered in the
Grutt hill section of the camp.
The native gold and silver specimens
extracted from the ledge are of rare
beauty and have worth as cabinet
curios much in excess of their intrinsic
value-and the latter is by no means
mediocre. At present the daily pro-
duction of high grade from the Mari
gold approximates 5000 pounds. In ad-
dition thereto a considerable tonnage
of milling grade ore is hoisted daily
and distributed on dump. In the opin-
ion of Edward Hoffman, mining engi-
neer in the employ of the Rawhide
Coalition Mines company, the Marigold
ore body is the same as that exposed
in Kearns No. 2 lease workings. He
believes that the deposit in question
splits in the vicinity of the Kearns No.
2 dump, one portion following the con-
tour of Balloon hill and the other
swinging north and west, dipping
beneath "Stingaree" gulch to reappear
on the southwest slope of Grutt hill.

land and is now being developed by tne
management of the Mint lease, wnich

her of months the affairs of the 1rutt
Hill Coalition lease were in parlous
state; so much so in fact, that crimi-
nal proceedings against certain OF the
stockholders were at one time iminent.
1t is not improbable that complaint
may yet be filed in the premises. Inc
present week a strike of unusual value
was made in the workings, the point OF
location being the bottom Of the WINE
sunk a depth of 10 feet below the
floor of the 1O7-foot level. A 4-inen
section of the ore body there exposed
is plastered and permeated with gold in
the free. Much of it has a value Of
s25 per pound and is so smeared with
the precious metal the quartz matrix

point underneath the winZe from the
600-foot level, and in a short time
raising will be started to make connec-
tion. In addition to prospecting the
supply of air, which is badly needed 1T
present. The work being done in the
east end of the 400-foot level on the
vein recently opened up in the extreme
westerly workings of the Tonopah
Mining company, is proving up an ex-
%eellent body of ore, showing a width at
this writing of over 10 feet, all of
which carries good milling values. The
vein appears to be spllt into two lodges
at the present point of workings, being
Sc separated by about two feet of por-
phyry, both streaks showing an aggfe-
gate of over 10 feet of ore. 1t is prob
able these streaks will come together
within a short distance, making a solid
body of ore. There has been no new
developments regarding the mill since
our last report, but it is more than prob
able that the next few days will decide
the question whether the Tonopah Ex-
tension is to go ahead and put up a 80
stamp mill for the extensive treatment
of its own ore, or whether some of the
other companies will join in the con
struction of a larger mill. A mill will
surely be put up, but the capacity wall
depend upon the action of the various
companies.
The Montana.
The first pour of metal from the fur
naces of the new refinery plant took
place last Wednesday and everything
worked perfectly. The result repre-
sented the cleanup for half a month,
and produced 81 bars of bullion
weighing in the neighborhood of 80
pounds each. BY the reducing of the
cyanide precipitates at home the Mon
tana company will make a great saving
in transportation charges, which will
soon pay for the plant. The 40 STAN s
in the mill were kept dropping con
stantly during the week, crushing 757
tons of ore from their own mine and
233 tons from the MacNamara, a total
OF 800 tons, returning an average ex.
traction of s9.4 per cent. An unusual
