eoLcoNoA Is CENTER
OF MINING ACTIVITY

WInnemucca Star: The Gold Run
mining district, and the town OF Col
conda. which is located on the railroad
in the center OF this great mineral belt,
Is making rapid strides these days In
the way that will make mining grand
success In any section. Attorney j. A.
LangwIth of Golconda. who is in town
today. has the following to say of the
wonderful section:
KRAMER hill, which Is located only
two miles south from the depot at
Golconda, is busy part Of the dis
trIct A. p. S. Macquestin has large
force Of men at work and they are
penetrating the hill with tunnels and
a deep shaft. A few days ago Il ledge
20 feet wide was struck in the long
tunnel and the ore In this big vein will
all pay TO mill. with the values mostly
in gold. AS the tunnel was started at
the foot Of the mountain the hnding
OF this big body of ore at this point
only proves that the immense vein
structure that was cut by the leasers
on top of the hill goes to great depth.
The mill has been running steadily
ever since Mr. Macquestin acquired the
property some months ago, and as
result regular shipments OF bullion
have been made to the mint. The first
lot of ore that was milled comprised
600 tons and II was taken out by the
Ieasers from the shaft that were sunk
on the vein. Since starting up ore
~ fba
nels that are being driven from dit"
ferent points into the hill and about
1000 feet apart, besides which the
property has the large ore reserves
disclosed in the two shafts.
Besides driving the two tunnels.
the hoist has been started and the
deepest shaft is being pushed down
ward to connect with the long tunnel.
When this connection is male the ore
will be all taken from the tunnel level.
I'm the Adelaide portion OF the dis
trict, In what Is commonly known as
Gold Run basin, much activity is
shown and number of claims are be-
Ing worked. and some Of them on an
extensive scale.
"a Siesenop. who has been doing
extensive development on his eGTtrude
claim, has big showing of galeDa ore.
1t Is estimated that there is 100000
worth of ore in sight In this property
and the greater part of it is Of the
shipping grade.
1.-The Nevada Central company has
a large force Of miners at work and
will ship two cars of ore to Salt Lake
CITY the coming week.
GTho GataS 1ooSo on thp Rlock Dio.
mond is In good ore. A streak about
IA inches wide Is all shipping ore.
George Blaine has three men at |
work on his property and is hoisting |
shipping ore.
'Isherwood & Harrison have ledge
about four feet wide of high-grade MILL |
Ing ore on the Crown Point claim.
"Mr. and Mrs. ]. H. Playter have |
gone TO San Francisco on a short trip. |
The former Is superintendent of the |
Nevada Crown and has been doing ex-
tensive mining on this property, He !
has great faith in the district and will |
institute greater development on the
company's claims on his return from
the city This property Is equipped !
with a fine hoist and enough work has
been done to satisfy the owners that i
they have valuable mine.
The Chawnon and Case property at
Stone Corrall, ten miles north of Gil
conda, which created considerable ex-
citement at the time Of its discovery,
Is proving valuable. They are now !
down As feet In shaft and the ledge,
which is of good size. seems TO be
permanent. The ore is rich in gold /
and silver and 1t is no uncommon sight
to see chunks on the dump showing
free gold. This property is about to
be sold for good price to Goldfeld |
people. Several persons have applied
for leases on the ground. but on ac-
count of the projected sale the own
ers had to refuse the privilege.
"a. l.. de la Vega has a very good
group near the Chagnon and Case
and c. II. Mayer and associ-
ates have secured some valuable
claims in the new camp"
