LUCKY BOY LEASERS ARE
OPENING GOOD ORE BODIES

The Tiffany block, which is being
operated by Gillespie, O'Keefe, Schaff-
nit and others, is now showing scattered
chunks of high grade silver-lead ore,
and the leasers are very hopeful that
they are about to enter a pay shoot. The
vein is improving in general character
and now has all the ear-marks of max
ing this lease a producer.
Development of the former Hubbard
lease block by the parent company, the
Goldfeld Alamo, which is headed by
j. d. Miller, j. H. Adams and Ed Hal
Ter, has been more than satisfactory
and it is reported that the old lease
never made a better showing than is ii
sight today. Ore is being extracted
from nearly a dozen places in this bloel
of ground, and steady shipments ar
being made.
The Mccormack or Broken Hill
lease is progressing along favorabl
lines, with frequent shipments of goo'
ore, while the shaft is being continued
to reach the 400 and 500-foot points
to get under the ore bodies encountered
in the levels above.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-09-18

Mitchell & Fairfield have opened a
very promising body of ore on the Col
Inns lease at Lucky Boy, and are taking
out considerable quantities for ship
ment. This ore was passed through by
the shaft at a depth of about 300 fee.,
and no development was done on IT
until lately. The shaft was continued
downward to nearly 500 feet, but left
the vein matter and got into the foot
wall country rock, so that results were
not what had been anticipated. 1t is
believed that this ore shoot will rut
the lease on a profitable basis, arc
lead to the development of other goo'l
ore bodies. When this lease was start
Cd some months ago, it was the general
opinion that it would become an import
ant shipper at an early date, as it al
Joins the famous Hubbard block and the
ore from the Hubbard had been proved
to within a few feet of the Collin
line. Results have not met expeeta
tions. however, but it is now possible
that the puzzle has been solved ant
the lease will redeem itself.

MORE MILLING CAPACITY
RUMORED FOR TONOPAH

A report is current on the street.
that the Montana onopah Mining com
pany is about to increase its present
efficiency by the addition of 20 stamp.
to the mill, says the Tonopah Sun.
This, it is said. will he done to ac.
eommodate another producing prop
erty in the camp which at present has
nc milling facilities.
The mill is so constructed that its
crushing, amalgamated, melting and
other departments could handle the
pulp from 30 additional stamps with
out a particle of crowding.
The mining company referred to is
row a considerable producer. Its Of
iceIs would neither affirm nor deny
the report and the same Sphinx like
silence was preserved by the Montana
people, but a sufficient hint was
out to assure that such a move
was contemplated, in fact, has arrived
at the point of ordering the required
equipment.

CUTLER INSPECTING GOLD
PROPERTIES AT NATIONAL

WINNEMUCCA, Sept. 14.-H. c. Cut
Ter, one Of Goldfeld's most prominent
mining engineers, arrived in Winnemuc-
ca yesterday. He will accompany 8. w.
Gundaker to National in a few days.
Mr.. Cutler, who was consulting engi-
neer for Nixon & Wingfield during the
time of their partnership, has twice
previously visited National, inspected
the various properties and reported
most favorably upon them. He LAS ex
pressed himself as believing National
will prove one of the greatest camps
in the state, al opinion which is worthy
OF great weight, coming from such !
capable and responsible source. Mr..
Cutters forthcoming visit to National
ia for the purpose of examining the
property of the National Consolidated
Mining company, recently incorporated
by s. w. and G. +. Stall, j.. Sheehan
and &. l.. Tobin. Leasers and the com.
pany are now at work on this property,
which adjoins the National Mining
company ground on the north and IS
traversed by the same bonanza ledge
which has already produced in the
neighborhood of $l50,000 worth of high
grade gold ore.

SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT
WILL BE AN OPEN CAMP

ties will be reopened and the workins
forces will be more than doubled.
can impression seems to prevail
that our properties suffered heavily
from the loss of high grade ore.
While it is true a considerable amount
has been stolen. it will not nearly
public. There are a number of men
who have been in our employ for
some time whose honesty is above re.
proaeh. When work is resumed these
men will be re-employed if they wish
to work. Those who did steal high
grade and those who protected the
high graders will not be employed.
"There will be no objection to the
union and all honest men will have a
chance to work, but the labor agita-
tor and the high graders will be dis
eliminated against, whether union or
non-union. Change rooms at all our
properties will be established and the
rules governing the regulation of the
same will be most rigidly enforced.
On the kindergarten alone a vein of
ore measuring fully sixteen inches in
width and carrying values running as
high as $7s,500, has been opened up
and if some means were not taken for
the protection of this ore the company
would lose a great deal.
'.The Seven Troughs district will be
an open camp, and while wages will
be cut just a %trile, | am confident that
when matters are adjusted conditions
will be better and capital will not be
afraid on account of labor troubles, TO
make investments"
During the past few days the stages
and autos from the district have been
heavily loaded with miners who are
seeking new fields. About sixty men
have been affected by the c~lose-doysn.

GOOD STRIKE BY LEASERS
ON DIAMOND QUEEN GROUP

A strike of three feet of 800 ore is
reported on the Diamond Queen proper.
ty in the Flourine district, the discov-
cry being made on the Roberta lease,
one of the last leases granted by the
Diamond Queen company. A drift is
being run on the ore, which has been
proven for fifteen feet. Shipments will
start at once and be loaded at the
Diamond Queen siding near Rose Well.
Hargrove & Bell, who have been leas
ing for some time on the Diamond
Queen, and have been making shipments
from time to time, have about a carload
of ore ready for shipment that will run
better thar 800 per ton in gold. A
number Of leases are working this
ground, besides work being done by the
Diamond Queen company, and some
more leases may be let, as there are a
good many applications.

MAZUMA. New, Sept. 15.-Without
an exception all of the principal prop
critics and leases in the famous Seven
Troughs district are closed down and
will remain so pending the adjustment
of labor conditions. The Coalition, en-
hracing the Therien and Kindergarten
groups, the Seven Troughs Mining com
pany's property on which is located the
big Fairview mine and the Florence
lease, are all closed and are being
guarded by trusted employees. The Ma
yuma Hills ceased operations several
months ago and has been idle until only
recently, when it was leased to a mum
Ter of local operators at Mazuma.
The action by the management in
closing down the different properties
was for the purpose of Kidding the
district of an agitating element and to
put a stop to "high grading" L. A.
Friedman, general manager for the
Coalition and Seven Troughs Mining
companies made the following state
ment:
conditions have arrived at such
a stage that some action must be taken,
and to attain that end and change
these retarding conditions, it was de-
cided to bring the case to an issue at
once. In the first place We intend to
make the Seven Troughs district an
open camp. Not only this, but a
slight reduction in some classes of labor
will be made, and not until these condi-
tons have been established will the
mines being operated by myself and as
sociates be reopened.

least before active work is resumed,

and we have the assurance of being

GREATER ACTIVITY STARTS
ON BIG MINES AT AUSTIN

San Francisco, where he made a per-
sonal inspection of all that had been
accomplished in this line by A. b.
Scott, a cyanide specialist, with the
laboratories of Chas. Merrill and the
facilities of the California Testing
Works at his ~disposaI. Mr.. Littrell,
who had charge of the mills in Austin
under the old Manhattan company, was
more than pleased with the process and
it's practicability. 1t cuts the cost of
treating Austin ores TO one-tenth OF
what it was in the old days. 1t brings
within the range of profitable handling,
a volume of ore equivalent to 70 per
cent of the tonnage output of the Aus
tin mines, which was formerly thrown
aside as so much waste.
Mr.. Littrell saw tests made on sew
eral tons of Austin ores. He was bet
ter impressed with the method than any
that he had ever seen in the cyanide
line. If adopted in Austin he believes
that it will revolutionize the district.
Mining activity will extend to all prop
critics and leasing operations will be-
come general.
Mr.. Scott, who is conducting the tests
for the Austin Manhattan company will
go to Spokane at once and make a final
check on the tests being made by the
Park Electro-Cyanide process. 1t seems
now that one or the other of these sys
tens will be adopted. AS soon as pos
sible after a decision is made a section
of the local mill belonging to the com
pany will be completely fitted up for
,ctual milling operations.

DEATH VALLEY "SCOTTYn
DOWN TO SILVER COIN

Walter Scott, better known as
"Scotty, the Death Valley Mystery,
was in Winnemucca last Friday from
his mining property located in Black
canyon, in the Humboldt range, says
the Humboldt Star. "Scotty' was
here like any other %prospector and pur-
chased a bill of grub which he took
to his camp. He is not the "Scotty,'
of old who made such dazzling displays
of wealth. Although he seemed to be
well supplied with money, it was OF
smaller denominations than when he
flashed one-thousand-dollar bills to pay
fer a round of drinks. His money this
time was of the white metal and he
had a pocketful of it, for when he went
to pay a bill he pulled out a full
handful of silver coins, just to show
the boys that he was still there with
the coin, even if it wasn't of the yellow
kind that started the world talking OF
his great wealth recovered from the sun
baked hills that surround Death valley,
The last time "Scotty'' was here
some of our saloonmen were almost
stricken with heart failure when the
mysterious p~rospector and champion
money spender would throw down on
the bar enough money to buy the place,
He seemed to delight in displaying fat
rolls of ~greenbacks that he carried IL
every pocket. Perhaps "Scotty' has
worked out the rich pocket he had II
Death valley or is getting tighter will
his money and holding a better grip on
to his bank roll. However, if his mine
in Death valley has faulted on him, hi
is in a good place to make another sen
c~ational find for at Black canyon some
of the richest gold ore in the STATE
is being taken out. 1t was there tina
Indian Ike uncovered rock SO impreg
mated with the yellow metal that he il
now called the millionaire Indian O.

Especial Correspondence

Especial COrrespondence.)
AUSTIN, New, Sept. 15.-The man
of the Austin Manhattan Con
solidated is making rapid moves in
starting the work on the Union mine.
rhe first equipment to be purchased on
Union account is ar up-to-date gaso-
line hoist and an extra equipment was
brought from the Knox Engineering
company of Reno and Is expected on the
ground in Austin and ready for install
lation within thirty days. Pending the
arrival of this machinery, the engine
formerly in use at the Frost shaft will
lie used for the work, of clearing and
%retimbering the Union shaft.
The big compressors at the plant near
the portal of the tunnel were steamed
up last week. The machinery worked
like a charm and delivered a blast of
air at the shaft, 5000 feet in Lander
Hill that will do all the work and more
than is required. The company s call
for bids for sinking the Frost shaft re-
suited in disappointment. None of the
bids were acceptable. So the work OF
sinking the Frost to the l100-foOt level
will be carried on under the direction of
mine superintendent James Humes with
men at days pay.
The question of the cheapest method
of treating the sulphide ores of Austin,
which has been one of the problems
commanding all the talent that the
Austin Manhattan company could
profitably employ for a year, is several
steps nearer solution.

(From the Tonopah Miner.)

(FrOm the Tonopah Miner.)
Although the main efforts of Super
intendent Brady of the Belmont have
been directed for some time towards
solving the value of the mine at
depth, recent developments have
proven that he is no nearer the de-
sired information, generally speaking,
than at first. The deeper he goes the
more quartz is in evidence, and there
seems to he no limit to the depth in
which ore can be found in this prop
erty. Last week we mentioned the fact
that No. 1856 winze, which was sen.
down on the Belmont vein from the
llOO-foot level, had encountered numer-
Gus strong stringers of quartz carrying
good values, and that at the bottom OF
the winze a body of quartz had been
penetrated for A feet, with the same
material showing strong at the lowest
point. During the past week the lower
ing of the winze was continued, and It
has finally passed through the vein,
which shows a width of IL feet, and
carries milling values. The winze is
now down 1l6 feet on the dip, or 5S
feet vertically below the l100-foot
level, at which point a station is being
cnt and preparations being made to send
a south crosscut out to prospect the
stringers and lodges passed through ny
the winze. From the dip of the Bel
mont vein, as exposed by the workings
on the 1000 and llO0-foot levels, and
the Intermediates between, that vein
hes still below the present bottom of the
wlnze, and the other veins cut are EVIL
dentiy in the hanging-wall OF that
ledge. Judging from the pitch of the
Belmont vein, as shown by the work
ihgs above, and the pitch of the veins
cut in the Wine, they should make into
one ore body at no great depth beyond
the present point, in which case the lar
gest body of ore ever opened up in the
district would be the result. From
the results thus far obtained, the man
agement has every encouragement tt
keep ON going down, as one OF tn
strongest veins thus far encountered II
the property has just been penetrated
IN the very lowest workings.

The news from the Tonopah Mining
eompany's property this week, whil'
not exciting, shows that the develop
ment work is being pushed ahead at
