MINING NEWS FROM ALL NEVADA
IRON-srAINED CROPPING
Rims HIGH IN COPPER

1t is understood that Norman Smith,
a mining engineer sent out by leading
stockholders to examine and report on
the estate of the Lenape Gold & Copper
Mining company, stated before his de-
parture that he had found conditions
much better than he had anticipated.
Moreover, as a result of Mr.. Smith 8
visit new showings have been discovefd
which enhance the value of the prop
crty.
An iron stained cropping, which here
tcfore had been totally disregarded,
was found to carry IL per cent copper,
while in another location values AS
high as 20 per cent were unearthei.
Mr.. Smith is the fourth expert that has
returned a favorable report to the COM
pany.
The grading and buildings have been
completed and all will be in readiness
to start operations with the arrival Of
the hosting and power engines. The
company is planning to bring out a dia-
mond drill to thoroughly prospect its
ground at depth. A teaching plant IS
also under consideration -Searchlight

NEwHOUSE EXPERT LOOKS
OVER NEVADA INTERESTS

M. NJ. johnson, chief of the New
house staff, arrived from Yerrington
Sunday morning, accompanied by Il.
II. Britt, who also has charge of the
Nevada Western at the Mason Valley
town, and the Valcalda, in this section,
says the Blair Press. The gentlemen
went on the hill soon after lunch, and
the afternoon was spent in an examina-
ton of the developments in the Val
calda.
Mr.. johnson returned to Blair late
in the evening, and left for Salt Lake
Monday morning. He states that the
condition of the property is highly sat
isfactory, and the force of men employ
ed will be increased in the near future.
A test run of 100 tons, or so, of the
ore now exposed, will be made soon
with a view of determining the eff
cheney of the plant when, if results
are satisfactory, the capacity will be
Increased to $50 tons at least, per day.

ORE SHOWS MUCH HIGHER
VALUES THAN ESTIMATED

Last week the Searchlight Bulletin
made mention of the unusual ore show
ing on the 800 level of the Searchlight
Mining and Milling company, west of
the shaft. The paintings were estimated
at $75. However, as careful a sampling
as possible was made across five feet
of the preferred-this, in turn, quart
cred down-and sent in to the city for
an assay. The returns have been re-
ceived and gave the extraordinary
amount of 1927.
This rich strike, as is now generally
known, is the result of the recent ore
development below water level. Ma
turally, from day to day the values
vary sometimes less, sometimes more
but the indisputable fact stands out,
that on the whole, there has been a
wonderful increase.

STEADILY ON DUMP ORES

The Solid Gold mill is rapidly getting
into its stride. For the past ten days,
not a hitch has occurred to halt it in its
steady grind of three shifts a day.
At the present time it is pounding IN
the ores of the various dumps which are
scattered about the acreage of the
Round Mountain Daisy Mining com
pany, most of them the result of leaser's
work. Cy johnson stated to the Mug
get representative that he was also
negotiating to purchase the various ad-
Jaeent dumps.
The compressors and machine drills
have been installed and they are doing
excellent work. Superintendent LEV
ellyn has been in charge long enough
now to get his bearings and has mapped
out his plan of campaign.
There are eighteen men on the pay
roll at the present time and as the new
work in the mine progresses this total
will steadily be increased Round

HOMESTEAD-DUPLEX MILL
Is MAKING GOOD RECORD

These are busy days up at the Home
d-Duplex mine. A clean up of the
mill was made this week from a run
consisting largely of the Good Hope
ore, and the next running is to be from
the lower levels of the Fraction.
The Fraction grade in the past few
weeks, from the latest work on the
500 and 600 levels, has been showing
"A fine increase. 1t would not be sur
prising if from now on the plating
would prove to be double and possibly
triple the former values.
This does not take into account the
high grade and specimen rock, of
which on the 500 of the Fraction there
has been more than at any time since
the new company has taken hold

TWO LEASES ON EDNA
PROMISE RICH RETURNS

John A. Lindsay came in several
days ago from the property of the
Edna Gold Mining company, situated
six miles north of Mclean station in
/ the Monte Cristo range, says the Tono-
pah Sun. He is interested in a lease on
the property on one of the claims named
the Golden Seeptre. He has started a
drift on the north slope of a hill and
is driving his tunnel toward the south
end on the trend of the vein. In the
face of the drift, which is in twenty.
FIVE feet, he has exposed a lead eighteen
inches in width. A picked sample tina
he had assayed yesterday gave the
handsome returns of 5000 in gold and j.
trace of silver. He now has a depth of
thirty feet on the ledge in the face Of
the drift and expects to encounter a
shoot of high grade in twenty to TWEEN
ty-ive feet more drifting.
On the surface the groupings assay
ever $50. 1t is firmly believed that the
ledge will go nearly 800 per ton.
The character of the ore is an oxi-
died ~porphyrite quartz, carrying
large quantities of iron and the bug
holes show free gold.
The Peak lease is down sixty feet
and the leasers are now prosecuting
the lead and have started drifting to-
wards the Lindsay lease, which is 800
feet north, and both are one the same
ledge as traced by its strong crop
pings. A high divide is between the
two leasing blocks and both leases
will have over $50 feet vertical depth
under the apex of the hill.

FIGHT TO KEEP COMSTOCK
FROM AGAIN BEING FLOODED

Franklin Leonard of the Sutro Tun-
company recently told a representa-
tive of the Carson City News of the
hard fight that is being made on the
Comstock to keep the mines from be-
ing flooded as the result of the recent
fire in the Sutro tunnel.
He said: without a doubt one IF
the hardest fights that has ever been
made by mining engineers is now
taking place in the Sutro tunnel
where every effort is being made to re-
pair the injuries done by the fire of 4
month age. The burning out of the
timbers allowed of a heavy cave AMI
this mashed the new wooden stave pipe
which was being installed at that time
and badly handicapped the flow of
water from the pumps.
There is under the track in the tun-
mel an old wooden box and this for
tunately was not destroyed by the cave
but was partially filed and now handi-
caps the flow of the stream. This box
has not cleaned itself as it was hoped
it would, but in fact has become clog
ged to a greater extent.
"A force of fifty or sixty men are
now at work in the tunnel on six hour
shifts and have been since the smoke
and gas in the tunnel was lone away
with to a sufficient extent to allow Of
their working therein.

GOOD STRIKE MADE
IN GOLDEN ARROW DISTRICT

DIR. A. H. Elftman, of Tonopah, who
is visiting in Goldfeld, reports that IN
the property owned by the company IL
which he is interested at Golden Arrow,
in the Kawich range, ore has been
struck at a depth of 80 feet which lies
in a ledge five feet wide, with an aver
age value across the ledge of $l2 to the
ton. Picked samples run $l,4OO to the
ton.
The property is that of the Kawich-
Mohawk Consolidated Mining company,
the company being held principally by
DIR. Elftman and Miss l.. Gilman, both
OF Tonopah. DIR. Elftman says that the
value of the ore in the ledge is becom-
ing better with every shot.

LEADING PIoCHE MINES
ARE TO BE CONSOLIDATED

President George Learned of the Ne
vada- Utah Mines and Smelling corpo-
ration, Col. James Hackctt, A.. III. and
Ernest Godbe of the Ohio-K kentucky
Mining company are expected back
from Phoebe within a day or two, and
il is understood that they have prac-
tieally completed all arrangements
whereby the two properties VIII De
operated jointly, say the Salt Lake
! Telegram. While the details have not
been entirely worked out, the big in
terests in the two companies have prae-
t;cally agreed upon the main points 1t
issue, and the working out of the new
organization to be formed will simply
lie a matter of a short time.
Both companies own properties joint
L.. in addition to which they nave each
developed a considerable tonnage of
ores in their individual properties.
Some of this is a mill product, while
all of it can be treated more advan-
tageously on the ground. For these rea-
sons it is quite generally believed that
when the companies have combined ar
rangements will be made within a very
short time for the building of a on
centrating plant and a smelter. 1t is
known that this has been the desire of
the principal shareholders in each of
these companies, and now that they
have agreed to join forces and develop
these properties extensively it is be-
lieved that they will nave the old smelt-
ing plant rehabilitated by ov~erhauling
it and putting in the Fink process, now
successfully employed at the Boston
Consolidated millsite.

GOLDFIELD MEN SECURE
RICH HAWTHORNE LEASE

John f. Mitchell of the well known
firm of mine developers, Mitchell &
Fairfield, has just returned from his
third trip of inspection of the Alum
Creek mining district, which is located
in Esmeralda county, about six miles
south of Hawthorne and along the old
Bodie, California, stage route. He pro-
nounces it a section of remarkable min
eralization, and declares that it is one
of the coming camps of Nevada.
1t is here that the rich Alamo and
Lucky Boy properties are located, from
which daily shipments of high-grade sill
yer and lead ore are being made at a
rate that will soon pile up big fortunes.
Mr.. Mitchell visited the district at the
request of j. II. Miller, chief owner of
these properties, and has secured a two
year lease for himself and Mr.. Fair
field, on a block of ground 375 feet
wide and the full length of the Lucky
Boy No. 8 claim, and 500 feet on the
Lucky Boy No. l.. This gives them
nearly 900 feet on the big vein that is
proving to be one of the big bonanzas
Of the state. To the west is the fam
Gus Hubbard lease, that is shipping
1000 sacks a day, and to the east is the
shipping.
Riches Long Ignored.
cit is one of the many instances Of
strange Freaks said Mr.. Mitchell,
chow this rich ledge was discovered.
The stage had run over this road for
years and gradually worn off the wash
and exposed a bright streak of steel
galena and black metal, about four to
six inches wide, and this was in plain
sight to all of the many hundreds who
passed along the route for years.
FINALLY, however, one of the passen-
gers got off and located the ground, ana
this is now the property of the Goldfield
Alamo Mining and Leasing company,
and the Hawthorne Lucky Boy Mining
company, upon which the famous lease
of Hubbard and associates of Chicago
is located.
Hubbard and associates have taken
out a quarter of a million dollars and
have already blocked out an additional
100000 at a depth of 800 feet. They
are now sinking their shaft to the 500
foot level, with but Eve months more
Of their lease to run. In this new de
v, lopment work they will without doubt
bio * out an amount in excess of that
already measured up.
"The Alum Creek district is about
six by eight miles in extent and very
highly raineralized, lead and silver be
ing the principal values, though there

my opinion that copper will eventually
entirely replace the lead. There is just
enough lime in the ore to make it a
beautiful smelling proposition. The

a report on both the Alamo and Lucky
Poy properties, and when l gave the re-
port to j.. III. Miller, chief owner IN
both properties, / did it with an apol-
ogy that it's chief fault was conserv-
atism. If l wrote a report on those two
properties and gave in that report the
true condition, everyone who read it
would mistake it for a prospectus. There
are sights in that property, chiefly the

them were ever seen in the great Silver
King mine of Utah. In one short drift
east from the shaft No. l on the 300-

center of which was a three-foot streak
