.PIOCHE ENTHUSES
OVER BIG STRIKE
FIND SHOWS A MANGANESE
FISSURE
Series Of Samples Garry as High as
Three Hundred Ounces-Discov-
cry Occurs on Colfax
Lode

PIOCHE, New. Feb. 2S.-Of unusual
interest to Phoebe is a strike made re-
Gently on the Colfax group in the
Highland district and within the shad-
ow of the mountain through which the
lodges of the great Mendha mine make
their way.
Ed F. Prudential, one of the in
'fluential mining men in this district
recently became cognizant of the ex-
istence in Highland of a manganese
assure equally as persistent as the one
which has fed the rich Mendha beds
and of about equal width.
Subsequent investigation has proved
the continuity of this manganese fis-
sure for a distance approXimatine
q, 900 feet and for nearly 5000 feet
across territory which has been ac-
quired by Mr.. Prudential within the
past few weeks. Openings made along
the course of the fissure at varied in
tervals have found the ore in place
and samples taken from each of these
points; also open cuts and shallow
shafts sunk along the numerous cross
assures have produced such astonish-
ing results that as soon as the news
was spread a wild rush for claims en-
sued.
A series of samplings from along the
COlfaX lode gave returns running as
high as 301.72 ounces, while the lowest
obtained was 5472 ounces silver with
the lead running from one to three pei
cent and from 81 to SO in gold.

Mount Goddard Quadrangle Comprises
Region Unsurpassed in Scenic Charm

or more above sea level, greet the trav-
eler's eye; from some peaks sixty or
seventy can be seen. Three quadrangles
besides the Mount Goddard are yet to
be surveyed to complete the mapping
of this region of great geologic uplift
The Mount Lyell quadrangle, it Is
said, includes every physical character
istic, every commonplace and freak OF
topography which is to be found in any
other portion of the United States.
The Yosemite quadrangle, looking down
into the canyon of the Tuolumne, con-
tains probably the only place in the
country except the Grand canyon of
the Colorado, where there is vertical
drop of 5000 feet-a sheer granite wall.
The quadrangles already surveyed In
the High Sierra are the ColfaX.
Truckee, Pyramid peak. Markleeville,
Big Trees, Dardanelles, Yosemite,
Mount Lyell, Kaiser, Teipite, Mount
Whitney and Olanch. All these quad
rangles lie mainly south of the line of
the old Central Pacific railroad, but
heights exceeding 1000 feet are reached
by many peaks north of that line in
quadrangles already mapped by the
survey. When the quadrangles yet
unsurveyed are mapped one of the most
remarkable regions in the world will
be laid before the eye on paper.

REPORTS TWO STRIKES
IN PIONEER DISTRICT
Hotel Man viii Erect Structure at
New camp-ore Bodies
Improve

TONOPAH, Fbb. 2S.-H. C. Jones is
here from the Pioneer district, where,
with George Swasey, he will erect a
hotel The work on the building will
start Friday and win be rushed to COM
pletion. When finished this hotel will
be a valuable addition to the business
section of the new town of Pioneer.
Mr.. Jones reports a strike on the big
Pioneer lease at depth of 210 feet.
1.-THE ledge was found Saturday" he
says, but the values were low. Mon
day night it cut into the high grade
and now they are eight feet into the
ledge Four assays have been taken,
the lowest of which went $50 to the
ton, while the highest gave returns OF
$3.50 to the ton. Frank Keith, consult
ing engineer for the company, exam
ined the strike and reported that 1t was
the best ore body yet found. The COM
pany now has sacked 1856 sacks OF ore
from this ledge Of the estimated value
of s136 ton.
Mickey Summers and his partner.
Brody, have made a strike on their
lease, which is situated about 1000 rect
north of the Pioneer lease, and wnile
no assays have been taken, the ore VIII

Overlooked Ore Body

RAWHIDE, Feb. 2S.-A large body of
ore. presumably overlooked by the one
time operators of the former Ogilvie-
Reynolds block, has been opened upon
the 1S0-foot level by General Manager
Barrett of the Rawhide Queen Mines
company, upon whose estate the lease
hold is located. Values range from $40
to $40 a ton across a six-foot face, and
average a very profitable milling grade.
The level corresponds in depth with the
1O0-foot level of the Kearns No. lease
adjoining on the north, and the two
workings are to be connected by means
of a drift at that point. 1t will require
about $50 feet of driving to accomplish
the purpose.

q ALMA CRUZ, Mex. Feb. 2S.-One
of the most extraordinary discov-
~ cries that has ever been made in
Mexico during recent years occurred
when Manuel Santiago, who was run
ming up his cattle some ten miles east
from Rio Verde on the Tehuantepec
National railway, came upon a large
cave, and being curious, entered; but
not being provided with lights, after a
hurried look around, left and notified
his brother, and the following day the
two men, equipped with ropes and can
dies, made an examination of the cave.
This led into a mining tunnel and
200 feet from the portal Santiago and
his brother found themselves going
through several rooms, which were full
ly furnished with articles of prehistoric
days. In all they counted fourteen
rooms. They also discovered four
bodies, and many others may exist.
These are described as being in mura-
mified state. The men are very large
and do not in the least resemble any of
the Indian types found in Mexico at
the present day.
The benches in the rooms are. beau
tifully carved, and some are painted.
On the walls hang the heads of Indian
chiefs and tigers in stone. An immense

sxlvanite Ore Runs $50

SYLVANrTE, n. NJ, Feb. 2S.-The ore
body of the lower west tunnel at the
Gold Hill mine continues to develop
most satisfactorily. The ore has now
been driven on for over 20 feet and the
entire body carries good payable values,
but the pay streak which averages $50
to $3.50 ton in gold. The tunnel is be-
ing driven to cut the ore shoot opened
in the upper tunnel workings. Work is
also being continued in the east tunnel
to cut the junction point of the Gold
Hill and Ridgewood veins where it is
expected an ore shoot will be opened
up. Both tunnels are now being equip
ped with track and ore cars. Owing to
the difficulty in procuring pack bur
ros, progress with the ore shipments
has been unsatisfactory, but about Is
tons of ore have been packed over the
mountain for hauling to the railroad.
Every effort is being made to secure
more burros as the shipping ore is
rapidly accommodating on the dump

ENRICHED TREASURY MAKES
EFFORT POSSIBLE
TWenty-Ton Mill Now on Ground Will
Be Set Up-St. Louis Ships

Smelter

KINGMAN, Ariz., Feb. 2S.-The Re
demption Copper company at Chloride
is about to resume operations, after
close down of a few months. DR.. NJ. 7.
Uhler who is extensively interested in
the company. arrived from PennsylVa-
mia and Immediately closed a deal with
the directors of the company whereby
he acquired large block of stock, en-
riching the treasury to the extent of
$40. 600 A complete mill of twenty-ton
capacity is now on the mine waiting
to be set up, together with large
amount of other machinery, lumber,
etc. This will Immediately be erected
and put TO work concentrating the ore
from this valuable property. Much
good ore has been shipped from the
various mines which compose this
group, and now with a mill in commits
sion it will be a steady producer.
The organization of the Gold Ring
Mining company has been effected in
Oakland, Cal, with the view of oper-
ating the Davis group of mines, stu
ated near the mouth of Mineral Park
wash. One OF the Huntington mills
which are being discarded at Gold
Road has been secured and will be
used to treat the ore. DR.. John T.
Davis, who is promoting this property,
also the Midnight group, writes that
the mill for the latter mine will be on
the ground by March l.
At Gold Road the site for the big
mill is being graded. Many hundreds
of tons of freight will be hauled from
Kingman in the next few months to
be used in it's construction. Kingman
which has always been the best
freighting point on the line of the
Santa Fe between Albuquerque and
San Bernardino. will certainly keep up
its reputation this year.
NJ. A. Moore, manager of the Dixie
Queen mine at Virginia camp, is here.
After the road to the mine, now under
construction, is completed work will
begin on a new shaft to be put down
400 feet, using the present shaft which
is $50 feet deep, for an air shaft.

IN HE Mount Goddard quadrangle. in
California, on which topographers
n of the United States geological
survey have been at work during the
past season, constitutes a part of the
region of great altitude known as the
High Sierra. This region comprises
about 5000 square miles and includes
scenery of wild and rugged magnif-
cence, unsurpassed in any other part
of the United States.
The elevation ranges from 1000 feet to
14,5O1 feet-the altitude of Mount
Whitney, the highest peak in the
United States proper. Many great
peaks stand above the 11,000-foot line,
among them Tower peak, the Matter
horn, Sonora, Leavitt. CONFESS, Dana,
Lyell, Ritter, Morgan, Williamson, the
Evolution group and the Palisades,
and hundreds reach 5000 feet or more.
Some of these peaks are extinct vol
canoes; some embrace crater lakes Of
ice cold water: in places there are boil
ing springs, oil springs, soda springs
and sulphur springs, and pumice and
scoria are found in quantities to supply
the world with abrasive material for all
time.

OPERATORS BOND FINK
PROPERTY FOR $4,000

PARADISE, Feb. 2S.-The Fink sill
Yer property on Silver Greek was
bonded last week by the owners, AL
bert Fink and Shaw Bros, to S. S.
Suplee and J. P. Ewart of Douglas.
The sale price agreed upon is $4,000,
under terms of bond and lease COW
ering period of eighteen months.
Shipments to the Copper Queen
smelter are to be made at once. AL
ready mining timbers, lumber and
other mine and camp accessories are
either at the camp or on the way from
the station at Rodeo, and there will be
no delay in the beginning of operations.
1t is planned to make shipments from
the 100 level of an old 160-foot shaft.
The shaft. long since abandoned, will
be timbered and a station cut. Drifts
will then be run in both directions and
ore taken out for shipment. The vein
increases from eight inches in width
at the surface to three and one-half
feet at depth of 100 feet, it's width
being two and one-half feet at the 100
level from which shipments are to be
made.
Suplee & Ewart expect to make ship
ments at the rate of about two cars a
month.

BELLE UNION RESERVES
SEVENTY TONS ON DUMP

GRASS VALLEY, Feb. 2S.-Prospects
could not be better at the Belle Union
mine where work has been quietly
pushed ahead for months and months
with little ado but now indications
are roseate for returns a. soon as the
old Southern mill is placed in commits
sion.
The old mill required a complete
overhauling and the work is being per-
formed in first class shape, so that when
the pioneer quartz crusher starts Ut
again it will be good for lifetime.
At present the Belle Union has prob
ably seventy tons of good milling ore
on the dump, and the tunnel is being
driven straight ahead on the ledge, a
handsome two-foot body of ore which
is said to carry good milling values
The tunnel is in distance of about 5ot
feet.

Allison Ranch May Open

The once famous old Allison ranch
mine near Grass Valley may he re-
opened though it is not known that ne
gotiations have reached anything like
a tangible form. The value of the mine
is unquestioned, and had the elder
Mackey lived it never would have
closed down. According to the men who
worked in the mine during its last days
it was just coming into good ore, and
it is a matter of record that the last
months cleanup was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 above all expenses.
