turns received from the sampler, and
which comprise five full car load lots
and about half a car load, are as fol
lows: First shipment, 1868 per ton
second, s272.37; third, $ls5.57; fourth,
ss7.44; fifth, s2S3.24; sixth, $l27. AL
of the ore in question was taken out
of the mine during development work,
none Of it having beeen stopped. This
ore represents % per cent. silver and
80 per cent gold. The vein averages
about four feet wide, some Of the ore
being easily classed as high grade.
There is at present on the dump $50
tons of excellent milling ore, which
will run about $50 per ton, and this,
it is expected, will be treated at an
early date. Two shifts of men are
constantly employed, or a total of 25
in all. The officers of the company
are: W. +. Casson, president; Lon
Honeywell, vice president; L. l..
Looney, secretary treasurer.
The belief is generally expressed
that the Grutt-Balloon Hill is destined
to develop into a tremendous paying
proposition, as the ore is not only OF a
. staying quality, but as a matter OF
fact become richer all the time.
New Section of District.
Hhe Yankee Girl property, situated
six miles northeast of Rawhide, mas
been attracting more or less attention
of late, and more specially the Nc
Kelvey lease, located thereon. The
size of this lease is 600 feet square,
and has until 1912 to run. Tn agree
ment that has been made with the
~leasers is, that they are to sink to a
depth OF 400 feet. AT the present writ
ing a windlass is in use, but it has
been decided to install a hoist and ali
other up-to-date appliances at the
earliest practicable date. Ore has
been stripped for 80 feet, and it will
from 21a to 31a feet in width. The
assays taken so far average all the
way from $S5 to 1920 per ton, and
carry gold, silver and copper, the yell
metal predominating. The sack
ing of ere is already III progress, and
it is believed the first shipment will
be made about August LIST. The leas-
ers naturally feel greatly elated upon
the splendid s~howings made on the
property, as it certainly bears the ear
marks of a mine, and this statement 8
endorsed by several mining experts
who have examined the proposition.
Miller Lease Producing.
Nevada Rawhide Gold Mining com
pany, known as the Miller lease, is To-
Gated on block 2 of the Happy Hooli-
gan claim, Coalition estate. A verti-
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
POS feet. At the 130-fOot level about
400 feet of drifting and prosecuting
has been done. There is also an in
cline shaft 65 feet in depth, and Oh
level lao feet of drifting and
cross cutting has been accomplished.
A rich body of ore was taken from a
winze, which was sunk from the S.
foot level. AT a depth of l50-feet in
the vertical shaft, two rich streaks
were encountered but dipped at an
angle of about 80 degrees. A cross
cut will be run from the 200-foot level,
and it is expected that the vein will
be cut in about 40 feet. The initial
run at the King-Heisner mill will be
ore from the Miller dump.
The latest reports are to the effect
that the King-Heisner mill will make
trial tests in the treatment of ore from
the Rawhide district, between the goth
and 25th of July, and that the plant
will receive regular shipments on and
after August LIST. Considerable inter
est is attached to this event, as 1T
