DEVELOPMENTS AT RAWHIDE

The latter Is consigned 10 the DAVIS
mill at Dayton, New. 1t is mined from
the winze being sunk in the floor OF
the 50-foot level. The main ore deposit
of Balloon hill, encountered some weeks
ago in the west crosscut from the 200
foot level of the st. Ives shaft, is
breaking a high milling average and is
sure to prove a fruitful source of rev.
enue Just as soon as the Rawhide Min
ing company has its reduction plant in
commission. Until that date the miners
will continue to block out ore.
Coalition Plans
The return to camp of +. W. King,
president of the Rawhide Coalition
Mines and the Rawhide Queen Mines
companies, is attended by a quickening
of the some-time-formulated plans for
development of those acreages on com
pany account. For a number of weeks
Mr.. King was in New York City and
other eastern financial %centers on mat
tiers pertaining to Coalition and Queen
affairs. He returns to Rawhide more
optimistic than ever before that large
sums of money will quickly be avail
able for the development of the camp s
mineral resources. He has caused work
to be rushed in the deep main working
shaft the Coalition company is sinking
on the Hooligan hill section of its
estate, and is preparing to expedite the
matter of beginning the work of sink
ing the second of the trio of three
compartment shafts through whose me-
dunn the Coalition management pur-
poses to explore it's acreage at a depth
of 500 feet and in excess thereof. The
second shaft will be sunk in the vicin-
ity of the King Hill and Burns leases,
while the third shaft will be sunk in
the Grutt hill section.
Late Shipments
Ore is being sacked for late January
shipment at nearly a score of leases in
various portions of the camp, an even
dozen being located on the estate of the
Coalition company. The most valuable
shipment will, however, go out from the
Bradshaw lease on the Queen estate.
The ore as sacked has a value of from
$500 to $500 the ton, with silver as the
higher precious metal content. In ad-
dition to the $300-$500 product a con
signment of nearly 1000 pounds of
quartz having a value of 81 per pound
will be forwarded to Selby smelter
through the agency of Wells Fargo En-
press Few ore bodies ex-
posed at Rawhide, or elsewhere on the
desert, offer greater possibilities in way
Of precious metal extraction than does
that at the Bradshaw lease. The pay
shoot is continuous from surface to a
depth of 60 feet and presents mineral
ogical signs Of prevailing to much
detph.
Coalition Output
Late January ore shipments from
Coalition acreage will go out from tn
following i~easeholds: Richard Holland,
Miller, Victor, Nugent, Pros
key No. l, Grutt-Ha.d, Mint, Suther-
land, Marigold and Proskey No. 2. The
average grade of the ore is
800 the ton. The ST. Ives lease on the
of the Rawhide Queen company
will send out a shipment of $50 ore,
while from the Kearns No. l lease a
consignment of 800 ore will be made
and from the Kearns No. 2 a consign-
ment of 5000 ore. A trial shipment Of
nominal tonnage will be made from the
Peneck lease on the Rector estate. 1t
is expected to net about 1925 the ton.
The Mckinley Hawkins lease on the
same acreage will probably send out II
small shipment of 800 ore. 1t IS not
unlikely that the Stinson lease on tn,
Royal-Tiger estate will close the eur
rent month with a shipment of $3.50
ore.
