Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1909-02-20

| perpendicular working shaft, well
! timbered, has reached depth of 400
feet. At this depth they are finding
some water which they have been desir-
Gus of attaining before cross-cutting.
They expect, shortly, to cross-cut to
between diorite and lime, one of the
most desirable formations for copper.
When the cross cut is completed it is
confidently expected that this property
will take rank among the shippers of
this district. In the course of sinking,
they have cut bodies of specular iron
carrying copper values. In the diorite,
for the last $50 feet. were found iron
pyrites carrying copper values. AT 440
feet they found a mixed formation of
lime and diorite which showed iron
pyrites with zinc and lead sulphides.
In fact, in no place while sinking did
they find formation that did not carry
values.
BROKEN HILLS,
on the west and is the extension of the
same vein, has a most excellent surface
showing, having the same natural con-
ditions, but to greater degree than the
surface showings of the Wabuska Cop
per Co. This property is owned by D.
w Croft, of Buckskin, and affords an
excellent opportunity to investors of
which they are we'll aware, with the re-
suit that the property may b. handled
for development soon.
THE YELLOW ASTER
Group of claims, owned by Groves and
Pierce adjoining the Kennedy Consol
idated on the north, has undoubtedly
one Of the best surface showings in the
district. This property shows three dis
tinct veins The west vein being gold
bearing, carrying free milling gold ore
running as high as S23 per ton. The
middle vein, showing large body of
| lead sulphate on the surface. Out of
the incline sunk OIL this body of ore.
iead carrying good values i'll gold and
silver was shipped.
South of this, shaft Us feet deep was
sunk where they found water and were
unable to go deeper without machinery.
IN cross-cutting here for the ledge, they
ran into a spur from the main ledge
showing a body of ore four feet wide,
carrying good values of lead sulphides.
lead sulphates and some copper. Cen
eral average assay $50. In cross-cutting
they cut rhyolite ledge which ran as
high as SlS in gold.
The east shaft at the foot of the hill,
which was down 100 feet, ran into water.
Inside of the last week, they cross-cut
in this shaft at the bottom, opening up
a tale vein showing nice streak about
eight inches wide of galena. The tale
inself is highly mineralzed, containing
fine particles of lead, iron and copper,
This gets better as they drift. A test
made showed approximate values of $50.
Width of vein about four feet. The ell
tire tale vein would be an ideal concen-
trating proposition.
WASP GROUP.
In the yellow hills, two miles east of
Buckskin, lies the Wasp group owned
by Charles Montague, who is sorting ore
preparatory to shipping.
This ore is free gold, some of it being
extremely rich.
Lying a little way to the east of this,
: Caas Schreber opened streak of eight
inches of rich gold ore. This gold is
free milling, afforling fine specimens OF
: picture ore. This immediate vicinity is
attracting considerable attention at the
present time.
