LEASERS GET THE ORE, AND
MILLS FOLLOW AT RAWHlDE

From recent disclosures in the af
fairs of the Rawhide Coalition Mine.
company, the indications are that d.
velopment on that wonderful property
has hardly begun, says the Press-Times
During the past year many lcasers have
been employed on the ground and the
world knows of the many bodies of mill
ing grade ore opened up, to say nothing
of the numerous high grade bodies
from which so many thousands of dol
lars have been extracted by the leasers
Almost thirty hoists have been ercctel
and shafts have been sunk all over the
Coalition property, and the case is in
deed an exception where ore has not
been uncovered-and ore too that will
pay to mill and net a good profit to the
operators. There is hardly a piece Of
mining ground on earth known to man
where pay ore has been SO generally
distributed throughout it's entire area.
That the property comprising the
Coalition estate is destined to prove
one of the richest and most generous
in the whole state of Nevada cannot be
gainsaid. The deeper workings arc
proving this fact conclusively. And
now the announcement is made that
most generous extensions are being
made by the company of the leases on
the strength of their sinking their
shafts from 500 to SOC feet in depth, or
even deeper.
King Talks Of Plans
E. w. King, president of the Coali-
tion company, on being interviewed by
the Press Times, said:
"The King Hill lease, on Burns hill,
and the Prince lease, at the base of
Hooligan hill, two of the most promis-
ing leases on the Coalition estate, have
been granted most liberal extensions
and are now under contract to sink
each shaft to the 500-foot level. These
two leases are under the same manage
ment. Aside from the deep sinking ar
rangement, the leasing company also
agrees to erect a 20-stamp mill, either
at Rawhide or at Walker lake, depend
ing upon developments in relation to

now under way and as soon as the nee
essary details are finished it will likely
be ordered. In the milling proposition
the builders agree to meet all competi-
ton in the matter of charges for ore re-
duction. The leascrs also agree to in
stall machine drills in order to facili-
tate more rapid development on the
ground.
"The Kaufman lease has been taken
over by the King Hill and Prince
crowd, and most Of those interested in
the Kaufman are stockholders in the
other companies. The same obligation
of sinking a 500-foot shaft is here in
cluded and the Kaufman people also in
tend to install a 50-horse power gasoline
hoist. 1t is probable that developments
will be made on both properties at the
same time. The new blood infused in
the Kaufman lease makes it one of the
strongest in the camp.
cat the Mint, the same liberal lease
extension of time has been granted,
which obliterates the lcssees to sink to
the 6O0-foot level.
"This makes four deep shafts that
will be sunk Immediately on the Coali-
ton estate, and several other PROPOSE
lions are now under consideration
whereby similar concessions are being
sought by leasers.
.sIn each of these cases the company
has reserved the right to explore con-
tiguous mining territory, of course, to
pay the necessary hosting and other
attached thereto
murray 14AA
A cleanup was made at the Murray
mill yesterday, and another-a partial
one-this morning. 1t is estimated
that since the mill started, Monday, to
run regularly, they have leaned up
about 200 pounds of amalgam from
about rs tons or less of ore. 1t is said
that the gold has to be cleaned off the
plates frequently, as it becomes 50
thick that there is fear of losing some
of the rich stuff. Other plates are TO
be added, which will give a greater
surface for gold saving.
ASSAYS of the concentrates and tail
ings have not yet been made, but
samples have been taken from the lat
ter every Is minues and from the
every half hour for that puf-
nose. Next week a better understand
ing will be had of the gross product OF
the mill. From all indications it Will
be quite large.
Weiss-Sweet Mill
The work on the new Weiss-Swect
mill at Crystal Wells, near where the
Murray mill is located, is progressing
nicely, and it is claimed that the plant
