SHAFT ON COPPER QUEEN
CUTS INTO FINE ORE BODY

The Ycrington Mines and Explora-
tion company has cut through some
good copper ore in their shaft which is
being sunk on their Copper Queen
claim. The shaft which is now 81 feet
deep, cut through 20 feet of copper ore
which assays on an acreage of 4 per cent
copper and 81 in gold to the ton. This
shaft will be pushed down to water
level as rapidly as possible at which
point a crosseut will be run to the
southwest to cut the big copper dyke
which shows to be l40 feet wide on the
surface. There have been a number Of
prospect holes dug ON this dyke all of
which show good copper ore with
tsreaks of euprite running through the
ore.
This property has every indication Of
becoming a large copper mine and IS
well located, being just one mile north
west of the city of Yerington. The
stage road to Wabuska passes through
this property to within $50 feet of the
main working shaft. Men sinking this
shaft have their homes in Yerington.
as the walk to the mine is but a short
one.- Yerington Times.

That Goldfeld is the most prosperous
community in the state is the opinion
expressed by "Ole'' Elliott, who has
just returned from an extended trip
through the northern part of Nevada
and to the Pacific coast. He visited
several California points, and also
Reno, Carson City and Ely.
"Only by comparison can a person
size up the situation here he sail.
.There is considerable activity in some
of the outside points but Goldfeld is in
better shape than any of them. Elko IS
at present one of the liveliest towns N
Nevada, and there is a good deal OF
building going on. 1t is a farming and
cattle raising community, without the

SHAFT Is NEARING VEIN
ON GRIZZLY BEAR LEASE

Preparations are being made by Man
ager j. H. Blanchard for installing air
drills on the Grizzly Bear lease some
time during the present month. The
shaft is now down about 2S5 feet, and
he expects to catch the Clermont vein
almost any time. When this vein is in
tersected, a station will be cut so that
drifting can be started, and the shaft
will then be pushed down to 600 feet,
where it is believed that the Jumbo
vein will be encountered. The lease is
very favorably situated for a probable
ity of being well within the rich ore
zone of these lodges.
Good progress is being made with the
crosscut on the Sunflower lease on the
Velvet ground, for which Mr.. Blanchard
let a 20O-foot contract some time ago
to William Kern. The crosscut is now

vein before it is finished. The shaft "a

TECOPA MINE HAS GREAT
ORE SOUTH OF RHYOLITE

While the ~enthusing and surprising
developments of the Pioneer section to
the north of Rhyolite are engaging
general attention, the great Tecopa
property to the south is being magnih-
Gently developed and immense ore re-
serves being blocked out, with extern
sive preparations being made for a
large and steady output, says the Rhyo-
lite Herald.
Very few persons other than those
Immediately interested realize the
magnitude and great value of the Te-
copa estate. Since the litigation was
settled the area of the property com
prises 1900 acres, the lineal extent OF
the underground workings aggregate
six miles, the vein of the MONDAY
mine is distinctly uncovered for $500
feet in length, and varies from thirty
to sixty feet wide, the main ore shoot
in the Gunsight mine has a large up
raise reaching from the 700 level to
between the 500 and 600 levels, with
800 feet of backs. This shoot is opened
for 400 feet in length and varies from
thirteen to fifty-two feet wide.
There is in each vein about the same
quantity of ore blocked out, practically
100000 tons, or 100000 in the aggre-
gate. As neal as can be calculated the
average value is between $25 and $27,
but ever figuring it as low as $40 gives
a total value of $6,00O,0OO.
Millions in Profit
Roughly estimated, this ore reserve
should. yield a net profit of from $4,000
900 to $3,O00,0 600, and represents a very
small per cent of the vein area of the
estate. Under the present management,
5000 tons have been shipped, and after
paying for the mining, railroad freight,
smelling charges and wagon freight,
yielded $125,000. At present in the
treasury there are $4,000 in the devel-

OLD PALMETTO DISTRICT
BEING RAPIDLY REVIVED

three weeks ago, a ten-horse team IS
kept busy hauling the ore, and the low
grade deposits are being made to re-
spond to the new energy that has been
installed into the property. When the
ground was first located, very little at
tention was paid to anything but ship
ping ore, although large bodies of mill
ing ore were exposed, and the property
has remained idle during the past three
years, until taken hold of under the
new management.
The leasers have plenty of time ami
a fine opportunity to make good and
clean up a large amount of money. The
milling ore averages from SIS to $50
per ton.

CON. RED TOP LEASE IS
STILL IN BIG ORE BODIES

There is practically no change in the
splendid conditions which have pre-
vailed at the Consolidated Red Top
lease for the past six weeks. The ore
bodies still show good strength and
values, and a steady and large produc-
ton is being maintained, in keeping
with past performances.
In the two new upraises now being
made from the 300 Level, the ore is
steadily improving. Samples from No.
& raise show an average value of $3.50
per ton, and No. 5 raise has now en-
countered the old ore body that has
been producing so handsomely during
the past two months.
The two-cent dividend recently an
nouneed will be paid on February 20,
and the present showing justifes the be-
lief hat another dividend will be de-
clared in March.

NEW BODY OF HIGH GRADE
OPENED IN NEVADA HILLS

A new body of high grade ore that
may probably develop into the most
important discovery ever made in the
Nevada Hills mine at Fairview has just
been encountered IN q crosscut from the
main working shaft at a depth of $50
feet, giving greater proof than wei of
the permanency of the ore deposits of
this mine.
Advices received yesterday by Vice
President J. r. Davis from w. III. Web
Der, manager at the mine, states that
tie ore has been penetrated three feet,
showing average values Of $40 per ton,
with some very high grade running up
TO 81, 900.
81 consider this one of the most i'm
portant discoveries ever made in the
mIne,' said Mr.. Davis, "as it is a new
vein paralleling the old from which
most of our production has been made.
The ore is of an entirely different char
aeter, being a sulphide carrying a little
more than half its value in gold, while
the old vein carried but about one
fourth gold. This new vein dips to the
north, conforming to the pitch of an
immense quartz dyke that outcrops for
great width on the surface about 10
feet south of the old vein, which
pitches to the south and enters the big
quartz dyke at a depth of about 200
feet.
AT this point there were evidences
of a break in the vein. and we were IN

A conservative estimate places the ore

passes but important new discoveries
are made. The first of the present week
superintendent Brown himself hap
pened on to a bunch of the specimen
sort ON the 600 of the Fraction, which
is alive with free gold and suggests an
other bonanza shoot such as the leasers
are working on the New Years Gift,
the parallel claim next lying to the
north.
1t may be added that the high grade
product is found in various portions OF
the whole property, and that this feature
has always been prominent, but that il
has only been in the more recent work
that the much desired bodies of medium
grade nave beer shown up, such as in
sures long continued operation and on
the big mine scale.

certain as to where the ore shoot we
had been working on would be found in
place again. Recent developments at
greater depth, however, have led us to
conclude that the new vein is probably
the real source of enrichment of the
old vein, the values having followed the
line of least resistance, or the old vein,
to surface from the point at which the
fault occurs in the quartz dyke, which
is very hard and tight.
"Above this break the formation Is
hornblende andesite, while below it the
vein is quartz in dacite, the daeite
probably being an intrusion which
fractured the big quartz dyke and then
the everything andesite, opening a new
channel to surface. We first proved up
this new vein by a crosscut from the
main working shaft at a depth of 300
feet. but we found only Is inches of ore
there, while 80 feet deeper it has wild
cned to three feet. This we consider
very good evidence of ~permanency and
increasing strength.
"No effort is being made at present
tc produce any great amount of ore.
No stopping is being done, and all of the
pre- now being taken out comes from de-
work. The mine is looking
very well in a general way, but we con
slider the new strike as probably the
important discovery recorded
there for many months, or perhaps IN

opment fund and 100000 in the equip
ment fund. Now there are employed
nearly a full complement of men, which
ranges from 65 to 100 on development
work only.
The grand showing the mine now
presents is mainly the result of the in
d~efatigable work of James II. Lester,
for he has made a study of it, its
geological and neurological formation,
and seems to have deduced a proper
estimate of its possibilities. He was
the pioneer in it's latter-day exploita-
ton, and is likely to reap a rich reward.
Strong Financial Backing
N. z. Graves, of Philadelphia, the
multimillionaire paint manufacturer, IS
now the principal owner and the finan-
cier of the enterprise. In pursuit of his
resolution to produce all the raw ma
terials required in his manufacturing
business, he was induced to take hoi1
of the Tecopa mine to afford a supply
of lead, which enters largely into his
products. The fine development of the
property shows to him and his wealthy
associates that it will be a great pro-
Queer, and they are prepared to make
it so.
On Tuesday of next week there will
be held a meeting of the directors, at
which questions of Importance involv-
ing large expenditures will likely be
determined. Ten miles of a railroad
spur must be built, and whether the
mining company or the railroad com
pany assume it's construction is one
query, and the other is the control and
management of the Needles smelter.
From this it can be readily under
stood that if this desert region fails to
produce anything else for the benefit OF
mankind, it will yield magnificent
mines and an immensely of precious
metals.
