STAR TO
OUTPUT HEAVILY
COMPLETION OF NEW MILL AT
CHERRY CREEK WILL BE OF
MUCH BENEFTT-OPTIMISM AS
TO THE CAMP. "

O. H. Allison, writing in the Ely
Record this week, has the following
interesting things to tell of activities
at Cherry Creek:
The renewed activity in and
around Cherry Creek demands that
the outside world get a glimpse
of the light we are hiding under a
bushel.
The new Star mill is nearly COM
pleted. and when finished, will be
one of the finest, latest improved ore
reducing plants in the state. All of
the latest improved machinery and
appliances are used in its equipment
and the immensely valuable ore body
that has been demonstrated to exist
in the old historic Star, together with
the valuable amalgamation of the
Nevada British, which is a wonder in
itself, ~insures the Star of becoming
one of Nevada's greatest producers
in the immediate future. A force of
rs men are now busy preparing la
Dor for several hundred millmen and
miners.
A contract has been let to Thos.
Curtis to continue a tunnel designed
to tap the immense vein in the
Mother Lode proposition in Silver
canyon.
w. S. Henderson and associates r
here and have a force of men at
work developing the old time Black
Metal. The deposit has been proven
to be extensive and valuable and the
Black Metal company are miners.
not spectators.
The Ely smelter now has an ex-
pert in the person of Mr.. Vickers who
is making an examination of the coal
deposit west of town. A two foot
vein of a fine coking coal has been
uncovered with other parallel veins
yet to be investigated. Mining men
have been too slow about looking
into this promising proposition. The
strike of the deposit is southeasterly
and nOrthwesterly, and crops up in
places several miles distant from the
Blaine mine to Elko. The formation
is composed of sandstone. shale and
fossilized limestone, all of the ne
! cessary accomplishments of a coal
measure.
The Bennett Brothers have some
fine showings near S~hellbourne that
are worth some mining mans while
to investigate.
w. b. Lawlor. an old mining vet
eran, has some handsome property
in the same vicinity on which he has
a force of men employed.
w. j. Wallace and associates are
Fexamining the Hartford Nevada prop
oy.tu n,,d aynnat IN stout urnrIx ooon
| This is one of the best gold bearing
properties in Cocomungo.
A prospective purchaser is examin-
ing the famous Egan properties. The
Egan was one of the great producers
of the halcyon days of Nevada. The
low price of silver has been the
damper.
The Biscuit people have been de-
veloping all summer and expect to
commence shipping ore soon.
There is much valuable high-grade
ore in Pine Nut canyon which an
energetic company of Englich capi-
talists are trying to acquire. This is
a secret, however.
Windy C. Clark is preparing to do
some extensive work in Chance
canyon, where the ore is very high
grade silver, lying between the StaI
and Biscuit properties.
The Leach Bros. & Co. are going
to build a large concrete store and
hall on the burned corner immediate
ly, also a livery stable.
What Cherry Creek mostly needs
is a hotel. There are no idle men
here and more can get work if they
are miners and not boozers.
