WORK AT ROUND MOUNTAIN
STILL BRINGS GOOD REWARD

The Round Mountain Allegheny
Mining company which owns the famous
old Charles mine in jefferson canyon
has recently acquired by purchase the
Orphan Girl claim which adjoins their
property.
In speaking of the purchase, Chester
O. Olive, who is secretary of the com
pany, said to a Round Mountain Neg
get representative: "The Orphan Girl
claim was bought from Daddy Stuart
of Tonopah. 1t is situated on the top
of the hill under which the Charles
mine workings lie. The acquisition of
the additional ground will nearly double
the extent of our holdings and permit
us to drift and crosscut to an extent
hitherto impossible.
The Charles mine was bought about
two years ago from Charles Harrison,
the former owner. In the days when
silver mining was at its zenith this
mine was one of the big producers an
the district. The Allegheny property
adjoins the famous Kanrohat property
which has recently changed hands and
whose present owners are now putting
up a big milling plant with a view to
carrying on extensive mining operations
and concerning which the Nugget has
printed considerable matter of late.
Is a Proven Mine
AS is pretty generally known, the
Charles mine is one of the really proven
big mines of the district. The old
arasta and mill on the property was
worked up to the time silver was de-
monetized, but since that time, and
during it's tenure by Mr.. Harrison, moth
ing but high grade shipping ore has
been taken out.
The main incline shaft is down to a
depth of 300 feet and the mouth of the
shaft is enclosed by an engine house
containing a 50-horse power steam hoist.
In the three hundred feet of incline
shaft three separate and distinct lodges
have been cut which assays values rang.
ing from $135.O7 to $1,616.14 per ton.
Copper values of $52.4O and 1850 have
been found in two of the higher assay
values which is significant guarantee OF
permanency and increased values as
depth is reached.
Will Soon Start Lease
Denny Holland and j. w. Gentry,
who have been, for some time past,
prospecting the acreage of the Round
Mountain Combination Mining company
have put in application for a lease and
it is more than likely that the necessary
papers, signed and sealed, will be de-
iivered within a very short time.
The block which Holland and Gentry
have selected is the one first worked By
Doe Harpending ct al, and later by
Kelly and May. The ground is just
above that washed by the Hydraulic
operations and adjoins the side line Ut
the famous Sunnyside property. Kelly
and May had about thirty tons of good
free milling ore on their dump when
they were obliged to relinquish their
tenure on the lease. At that time facil-
tiles for reducing the ore were not avail
able.
Denny Holland is one of the pioneers
of the district and well known to every
one. Denny has a great scent for ore
and once on it's trail is sure to get next
to it. The wise ones are predicting that
he has found something worth while
that no one else knows anything about
and that it won't be long before he and
his partner are getting out the goods.
The Combination ground is one of the
richest placer sections in the district.
