LUCKY BOY LEASERS
STRIKE SILVER ORE
DISCOVERY BELIEVED TO BE
RICH PROPOSITION
Samples of White Quartz Taken from
Hanging Wall on 16o-Foot of
Broken Hills Lease Assay
$500 to the Ton

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 22.--Another
strike of unusual Importance must tS
recorded for the Lucky Boy district.
according to Ed Haller. Mr.. Haller is
Of the opinion that the late find made
in the property of the Broken Hills
companys lease on the Rendell ground
is one of the best made since the camp
was started, and may make of this
one of the best silver propositions in
the country.
The discovery of the extremely rich
ore was made Tuesday, when ore was
found on the hanging wall of the west
drift from the l60-foOt level, which
gave values of $500 to the ton. The ore,
a sample of which Mr. Haller brought
with him to this city, is white quartz
in which the white metal and small
quantities of galena are carried. The
extent of the find is not known, since
it is too early to attempt a guess 1t
is being explored and an enormous
body of rich stuff is expected to be de-
Veloped. Another specimen of the ore
being taken from the Mccormack
ground was said by Mr.. Haller to run
5000 ounces of silver to the ton, while
another was a perfect specimen of the
galena also found in the property,
which he says is now in excellent con
dition, with shipments coming out with
marked regularity.
Incidentally it was announced by Mr..
Haller that very recently the Chris
tienson lease entered quite nice BODY
Of ore while in the Ingalls, ground
small bodies of the silver-lead product
has been encountered. The Brodigan
and the O'Keefe leases have also re-
Gently gone into ore and are expected
to show to good advantage in the very
near future.
Former Hubbard Lease
Discussing the former Hubbard lease,
which is now being operated by Miller,
Adams and Haller, Mr.. Haller SAID
that when the property was surreh-
dered on the first of this month the
owners resumed work on the 450-foot
level and at this time were taking out
some of the best ore which the mine
has produced. 1t was the general i'm
preston that the ground was falling
off the last two months of its deVel-
opment under the Hubbard direction,
but Mr. Haller says the thorough work
done since Hubbard turned over the
lease has proved quite to the contrary
and where the former people simply
followed the vein in its meanderinss
the present management is engaged
in driving drifts, developing the fact
that on both sides of where the vein
was followed ore of good value is to
be had.
1t is his opinion that it will re-
ouire about sixty days for the men to
get the property in shape for the re-
sumption of perfect mining. Fifty men
are employed and more are being add
ed as room is made. The deepest part
of the mine is $50 feet, but the work
will be prosecuted from the 45O-toot
level for some time and the ore en-
countered during the driving Of the
drifts is being hoisted. Mr.. Haller IS
of the opinion that systematic mining

while innumerable prospect shafts are
