GOOD FINDS BEING MADE
AT "SHOESTRING'' CAMP

ID. +. Matthews, ID. c. Mcfarland AMI
j. j. Howell report having made a rich
discovery in what the pioneer miners III
the district call the "Shoestring
the surface for over 1000 feet. Vari-
Gus assays show a good grade at the
surface, ranging from $50 to $l06 a
ton, and a six-inch streak of high grade
in the vein shows $3.50.
Shoestring Camp is near the Nevada
and California line, about sixty-fve
miles southeast of Searehlight, says the
Bulletin. 1t is properly a southern eX-
tension of the Searchlight gold belt,
somewhat proven in mining develop
ment for over 100 miles in length, ex-
tending southeast and northwest and
crossing the Nevada state line, the
S~earchlight camp at the north and the
Orange Blossom mine in California at
the south end.
Southwest from Sarchlight along this
gold belt, between the Colorado river
on the east and the Salt Lake railroad
on the west, are the mining camps OF
Thurman, Barnwell, Hart, Warfeld'
Bonanza King mine, Shoestring Camp,
Canon mine, Hidden Hill mine and
Orange Blossom mine. The rich dis
covery at Shoestring has practically
closed up the gap in the hundred-mile
strip, showing a continuous belt OF good
mining territory.

CAPITALISTS HAVE
GOOD MINES AT WASHABLE

The company since that time has beea
diligently at work prospecting the
claims, and on each claim, with but a
single exception, there has been good
gold ore found. Mr.. Edmonds brought
TO Salt Lake for the purpose of Illus
trating to local stockholders the sort
of rock he is now bringing to light some
extremely handsome specimens OF ore,
the ore being especially free from lead,
zinc or copper, but carrying a small
percentage of silver, especially IN the
higher grade ore.
This ore, exhibited yesterday, is a
splendid sort of milling rock, some OF
it, however, extending 10 bonanza lev
els in the yellow metal. But Mr.. Ed
monds states that the entire proposition
from one end to the other is a milling
and not a shipping one, and he predicts
that there will be mining going ON there
long after the present owners are gone
to the great beyond.

MORGAN AND FLYNN READY
TO SLOPE ON QUEEN LEASE

After weeks of shaft sinking Horgan
x Flynn, the leasers of the Queen
ground, have started the work of
prosecuting the huge vein for the pur-
pose of drifting and stopping, says the
Wonder Mining News. The shaft has
reached a depth of sixty feet. Much
greater depth could have been attained,
but it was necessary to go slowly il
order to save the high grade ore en-
countered in the shaft. The width OF
the vein is much in excess of the width
of the shaft, and at the sixty-foot level,
which was reached on Thursday, the
leasers started to crosscut the full
width of the vein, which will take but a
few days, and with the beginning Of
the week they will begin drifting on
the vein until sufficient ore has been
undermined to permit of stopping.
1t has been demonstrated that the
richest ore body lies west of the shaft,
and after the crosscut has been finished
they will drift on the vein in a westerly
In stopping they will select
the most likely places and operate two
or more slopes as soon as the ore bodies
are made accessible. From now ON il
is the purpose of the leasers to go fof
the rich ore, of which they feel Goa
fident there is a large body within easy
reach.
Horgan and Flynn have already made
one shipment of ore taken from the
shaft for which they received net re
turns of upward of 800 a ton. They
have another shipment sacked and
ready for transportation which is per
haps richer than the original lot sent 10
the smelter. Ore taken from the shaft
has more than paid for the work ac-
complished.

Testing the Ground

An exhaustive inspection of tae
estate of the Rawhide Mining company
has just been completed by Morton
L.indley, prominent in Pacific coast min
ing engineering circles. The examina-
ton of Mr.. Lindley was made at the
instieation of Messrs. A. w. Coote and
A. A. Codd of the Rawhide Mining
directorate, and with the object of Sc
curing an expert and unbiased opinion
on the present and future ore yielding
possibilities of the acreage. In order
that the tests might be as comprehen-
sive as possible, the sampling Of Lodges
by Mr.. Lindley was participated IN by
Buck of the Rawhide Mining co
managerial staff, and by L. nj.
King of San Francisco, a metallurgical
chemist of well established reputation.
Each will have his samples assayed III
of the other and as a cheek
each other. The Lindley samples
will be tested by his regularly employed
assayer in San Francisco. Mr.. King
will ASSAY the samples he took, and
those taken by Mr.. Buck will be as
sayed by the regularly employed assay
er of the Rawhide Mining company.
1t is hoped to have the results ready for
publication within q week.

Queen Company in Ore


In early February the famous Kearns
No. 2 lease on the estate of the Raw
hide Queen Mines company reverted to
that corporation and since that time has
been undergoing development on com
pany account. The Kearns No. 2 was,
and is, one of the richest leasing prop
ositions in the entire camp. During the
regime of Tom Kearns, Miles Hamill,
J. p. O'Brien and associates it produced
about 800, 900 worth of ore, in addi-
tion to a large tonnage of milling grade
ore that is now piled on dump. Also, a
much greater tonnage of the latter was
blocked out in the workings before the
Queen company assumed charge of the
lease and purchased its machinery
equipment. Prior thereto the Kearns
people lost all trace of the high grade
shoot from which a fortune in COLL
laden ore was mined on the 65-foot
level. Within forty-eight hours after
the lease reverted to the Queen corn
pany the management relocated the
long lost and ardently sought shoot. 1t
was discovered that the latter was cuo
off by a vertical fault and the shoot
was picked up IA feet below the point
where the Kearns management lost 1T.

A round of shots touched off in the
bottom of the north drive on the $50
foot level of the Marigold lease work
ings on the Coalition estate has opened
up a foot of ore that assays from $500
to 81, 900 the ton. From s%tation-sill to
beading, a length of ID feet, the drive
yielded screenings having a value Of
from $50 to $500 the ton, but at no
other point in the workings has ore of
such high average uniform enrichment
ever been found. A cold blooded sam
ping of the 12-inch section, made by
the regularly employed assayer of the
Coalition company, indicates an aver
value of $1,000. No quartz show
ing gold in the free was included in
that selected for assayIng. The Mari

Iindley Well Pleased

In advance of the Lindley report year
your corresponded can state with cee-
tainty that it will be favorable. He Is
strongly of the belief that the several
paralleling lodges obtaining in the
Hooligan hill dyke extend north for 3
considerable distance, and that a NUN
Der of them traverse Rawhide Mimi!
company's ground. He believes the
acreage will be ~abundantly productive
in milling and shipping grade ores, and
that it's future is assured. Mr.. Lindley
departed for the coast more firmly con
WINGED of the worth of Rawhide as /;
mining proposition than at time of his
previous visit here, made in the interest
of the RawIide Western Railway. Ht
IS of the opinion that the camp can soor
maintain a daily output of 300 tons OF
ore.

Shoot Is Large

The full breadth of the shoot remains
as yet undetermined, but it is known
to be continuous from the Go to the 100
foot level. Such satisfactory condition
is. demonstrated by assaying the muck
from the drillings. 1t is believed the
shoot has a width of from 4 to s feet
and that it has an average value ap-
proximating $500 gold the ton. There
are about 80 tons broken down which
have an average value-g grab sample
of 1870 the ton. A force of miners be
gan stopping the ore from the lO0-foot
level the present week. The first ship
rent of ore from the r~ediseovered shoot
will be made about February 25. 1t IS
the intention of the Queen manage
ment to utilize the Kearns No. 2 shaft
as a main development medium for that
portion of its holdings located in the
immediate vicinity, and to drive well
within the limits of the former Ogilvie-
Reynolds lease from the 400-foot level
with the object of picking up the main
Balloon hill ore channel on it's dip.

st. ives IN High Grade

1t the west crosscut from the 200-foot
level of the workings Of the st. Ives
Mining & Leasing company on the
Queen sta is exposed the continna-
ton at depth of the phenomenally rich
ore shoot encountered last May at the
surface. The discovery was made late
last week and was concurrent with an
inspection of the leasehold by A. A.
Codd of Goldfeld, general manager OF
the st. Ives company. The ore is idea
teal in character with hat mined near
grass roots from the same shoot and its
average gold content is nearly as high.
At the greater depth, however, the
quartz does not show as much free GOLD
as that mined nearer surface. Just as
soon as the deposit is proved up on the
300-foot level it is the intention to be-
gin stopping therein. 1t is likewise the
intention to drive over to it on the 100
foot level. Although the body has not
as vet been sufficiently explored to de
termine it's dimensions and general
average value, it is not too early to pre-
diet that it will be fruitful in tonnage
of pay grade ore. Mr.. Codd is particn
larly optimistic about the find, although
his opinion regarding its ore yielding

Rawhide, New, Feb. 10.-Mid-
February is marked by the exposure OF
a comprehensive body of high grade ore
at a depth of 800 feet in the Mint lease
workings, located on that portion of the
Rawhide Coalition Mines company s
estate, situate on Grutt hill. The de
post is the continuation at depth of
that first encountered at depth of 65
feet and is quite as thoroughly gold en-
riched. The find was made late last
Saturday afternoon, since when it has
been developed sufficiently to demon
strate conclusively its identity with the
rich, but narrow ore shoot which first
brought the Mint lease into prominence
as a producer of high grade quartz. 1t
will be remembered that when encouu-
tered on the 65-foot level the high
grade section of the deposit had an
average width of three inches. On the
S00-foot level, however, shipping values
prevail across a width of from 2 to D
ittl. Dftdh " iudt plttutn avn
ages at least $3.50 per ton.
Are Pushing Development
Development of the shoot is being
theoretically pushed with the intention
of soon beginning to stope. 1t is also
the intention to search out the shoot at
all levels prevailing between the % and
300-foot points, with the object of prov
ing up the ore throughout the intervcn-
ing territory. At the same time that
the exploration work mentioned is be
ing performed the Mint lease manage
mcnt will extract ore for shipment al
the 300-foot level. 1t is hoped to send
the first consignment from the re-
discovered shoot before the close of
the current month. Report has tap
