nearly 100 feet. An assay from here
showed something over $40 in gold pei
ton. There is quite a dump here, which
it is said will run, ledge matter and all,
better than SIS per ton. The Monarch
No. 5 is developed by a shaft las feet
deep, and some drifting. There is at
least so tons of good milling ore on the
dump, and plenty more in sight in the
mine.
A shaft about 100 feet deep has been
sunk on the Monarch No. Z, and the
dump shows considerable good ore. The
Monarch people have three more claims
about three miles northwest of here, on
which there are some good mineral
showings, besides a large amount of
timber, and they can develop water
enough to food Tule Canyon. 1t is un
derstood that the Monarch company
will soon begin work on a large scale.
The Mother Lode
The Nugget Ouch Mining company
has -four claims above the Monarch
properties. There seems to be a net
work of lodges and stringers here, some
of which are very rich. Some years
ago the Mexicans who were working in
this gulch took ont a nugget worth
1892. Nearly up to the head of this
guleh is a monstrous ledge running
across the gulch, which is supposed to
be the source of most of the gold, as but
little gold has ever been found above
it. There is a splendid chance here
for a. tunnel which would crosscut the
formation and possibly cut several rich
le'lges before the big one is reached.
The company is said to be planning to
sink a shaft on this wide ledge in TIE
near future.
Tie "Swede" group, owned by Ne
Iapghlin and associates, adjoins ti,.sc
CLAIMS. They have a very rich ledge,
and your correspondent has seen sew
erai phials OF gold washed from the
dirt and the top of the lode. 1t las I'll
the oarmarks of making a big mine.
There are some very promising pros
poets from here clear up to the head OF
the canyon and down the other side.
Below the Grade
Below the grade in Tule Canyon there
are also some very good properties. Gus
Peterson has a good group, and Tom
Jaggers, one of the original old-timers
in the canyon has a fine bunch of
claims from which he has at various
times shipped considerable high grade
ore. Sheriff Ingalls, of Goldfeld has
some promising claims enar the Jaggers
group.
George Radford, w. R. Marmaduke
and j. T. Blake have a group of seven
claims in this locality that are being
worked by l~easers, and from which ore
is being hauled to Pigeon Springs,
where there is a new stamp mill. The
haul is about 90 miles.
From a point up Tule Canyon,
Weatherspoon Canyon branches off to
the northwest, and there are several
good properties in that section, besides
the three owned by the Nevada Mon
arch people. Weatherspoon Canyon has
a much greater altitude than Tule, and
it would be an easy matter to pipe
water from here to any part of Tule
Canyon for working the placers or for
power purposes.
Up Weatherspoon Canyon
Near the head of Weatherspoon and
about half a mile to the west is a sill
ver-lead proposition owned by Gold
field parties-C. w. Hayes, F. s. Hunt,
w. X. Marmaduke and G.. w. Benton.
This property consists of four claims
known as the Tip Top group, and as
says have been secured running ID
ounces silver, 20 per cent lead and a
trace of gold.
North of the Tip Top group are some
claims owned by James Kilmer, Ton.
Summers and others of Goldfeld. Ii
was on this group that Summers re-
Gently went to do his assessment work,
but was taken with pneumonia AMI
died.
There is a splendid showing of cop
per ore on the King Pin claims, owned
by Goldfeld people, and lying west of
the Tip Top group. They have a shaft
down Is feet on a well defined ledge
about four feet wide. Old copper
miners from upper Michigan say that
they have never seen anything outside
of Michigan equal to the showing here,
unless it be at the Ferris Haggerty
mine in Wyoming. There is timber on
all of these claims, and they are not
more than half a mile from the Gold
field Water company's pipe line south
of Ida. This will undoubtedly be-
come a great copper producing coun-
try.
Tule Canyon certainly offers much for
the consideration of investors in placer,
gold, lead, silver or copper. 1t is a dis
trict of wonderful resources and is Just
beginning to claim the recognition
which it deserves in the mining world.
