carrying values up to $50 per ton, in adj
dition to a large body of lower grade
milling ore.
The Coalition company is pushing
work with two shifts on the new double
compartment shaft on block Z of the
Happy Hooligan claim, OF the west end
of Hooligan hill. The shaft is now
down about 40 feet. 1t is being well
timbered, and early in January it will
be equipped with a 75-horse power
hosting plant, the largest in the dis
trict.
Superintendent Flynn states that the
company will break ground for another
working shaft by the middle of Janu-
airy. 1t is probable that the shaft will
be located in the Burns Hill section, a
few hundred feet west of the center of
the Coalition estate.
Proskey No. l Lease
Among the latest additions to the
high grade shippers is the Proskey No.
/ lease, located on the Happy Day
claim of the Coalition estate, and be-
tween the Kearns No. / and the Victor
leases. A well defined streak of ore
showing free gold and running several
hundred dollars per ton is being devel-
oped on the 50-foot level, and a good
production of high grade milling ore is
also being made and stored in the
dumps for future treatment.
On the Roseberry estate, Immediately
south of Hooligan hill, the Owl No. l,
the Renfro and the Hooligan Hill leases
are steady producers of high grade ship
ping ore, in addition to a large output
Of good milling ore. These leases are
being theoretically developed, and
when the mills which are now projected
are completed, will add largely to the
output Of the camp.

which is included within the Coalition
estate, has proven itself to be one of
the richest mineral zones of the Raw

NEW MILL FOR BEATTY TO
TREAT BULLFROG OUTPUT

The Hornsilver Herald rays: L. L.
and Scott Smith, promoters Of the
Beatty custom mill, have made ar
rangements for the early completion
of the plant, and it is announced that
the work will be rushed by q large
force of men to be put on during the
present week. The promoters OF this
worthy enterprise have had some diff
iculty in financing same during the
hard times, but they assert that the
required funds have been secured
and that it will be only a matter of q
few weeks before the stamps win be
dropping.
A Herald reporter, who was at the
plant Saturday, was informed that in
all probability the mill will be in com
mission by the first Of February. All

business portion of the town occurred,
and added to the handicap under which
the camp had been struggling.
With heroic determination and con-
fidence inspired by the splendid promise
of the mines, the work of rebuilding
the destroyed portion of the town was
begun while the embers still smoul-
de-ed. Such is the undaunted spirit
which has prevailed in Rawhide since
its inception, and the grit and con-
fdence of the hundreds of ~lessees who
pinned their faith to the camp in its
infancy has been met, in a general way,
by fitting reward in the discovery of
ore, and the outlook for the coming
year is most encouraging.
Hooligan Hill Mines
At the present time Hooligan hill is
attracting the most attention On &C.
count Of the richness and extent of
some of the ore bodies which have been
developed in leases on this portion of
the Coalition estate. Foremost among
the producers of this section are the
Miller, Truett, Rickard-Holland Port
land and Yellowstone leases. At the
Miller lease a steady production is be-
ing made from a body of ore varying
from ten to thirty feet wide, the great
er portion of which will mill from $40
to $40 per ton, while the screenings
carry from $3.50 to 5000 per ton. Ex-
~tensive development work is being
prosecuted, and the ore ZONE is proving
persistent as this work progresses.
Adjoining the Miller lease on the
southwest is the Truett lease, which
has an equally good showing and has
for months been maintaining a steady
and large production.
Rickard-Holland Lease
West of the Truett lease and ON the
same ore dyke is the Rickard-H Holland
lease, which recently came into the
limelight with q sensational discovery
Of rich ore showing large quantities Of
free gold, in addition to a large body
of good milling ore, which is holding
out well with development.

lasses which dotted the hillsides at
shafts where additional rich diseov-
cries were being reported day by day.
In the midst of this activity came the
closing Of the three local banks within
a week in June, which proved a heavy
blow to business men and mining oper-
ators, but though financially crippled,
they pushed on with indomitable and
characteristic Nevada spirit.
Camp Defes Disasters
In the lace of this financial disaster
to the camp, water works were con-
structed, and a railway graded into
Rawhide from Schurz, a distance of
twenty-eight miles, but before the COM
pletion of these enterprises the crown

results are being obtained from develop
ment work. The Royal lease has been
the most prominent producer, but there
are several others which promise to be-
come strong rivals for first honors IN
that section. Notable among them ar"
the Cooks and Walters, the Mckinley
Hawkins and the Hayden leases on the
Rector estate. The Royal lease was
among the early shippers of the camp,
having opened a large body Of high
grade ore near the surface when devel-
opment was first begun. The lease has
been extensively developed, with many
large shipments to its credit, but the
future of the mine will be largely de-
pendent on the big body of SIS ore
which has been blocked out, and which
will be treated at the proposed Big -Four
mill, to be erected under the control If
the same people.

company lease. the Mint, Coalition,
Grutt Hill Truitt and Marigold leases,
all of which are steady producers and
each of which from time to time comes
t. the front with a streak of sensation
ally rich ore intermingled with their
large bodies of good grade shipping and
milling ore. Substantial shipments are
steadily being made from these prop
critics and large bodies of good milling
ore blocked out for future profits.
In close proximity to these leases on
the north are the Proskey No. 2, the
Dayton Toledo and the Crater, which
have encountered good milling values
and more or less high grade in the
course of development, and tie outlook
is good for all of them being added to
the steady producers in the near future.

adorn these leases on the west slope of

The Cooks and Walters lease on the
Gar claim of the Rector estate first
gained prominence last summer by a
sensational strike of high grade ore at
the surface, and several nice shipments
were made. At the present time
drifts are being pushed in both direc-
tions on the 10O-foot level in ore that
maintains an average value of $40 per
ton.
Hayden Lease Resumes
The Hayden lease on the same claim
is again in operation, and extensive
drifting and prosecuting from the level
at the bottom of the shaft is to be done
for thoroughly exploring the ground. A
good body of milling ore has already
been opened, and numerous high assays
have been obtained in the course of de.
velopment. The vein is one of the
strongest in the Regent section, where
strong and well-deined veins are the
rule.
Some good values are now being
found in the McKinley-Hawkins lease,
which is believed to embody a junction
of the Hayden and Walters veins.
Paintings indicate from SIS to 500 a ton
across the bottom of shaft, now IS feet
deep, and a fair-sized streak of ore
running about 800 per ton is reported
to have been opened.
A small amount of work is being
done by lessees on the Blue Bird group,
in the neighborhood of the Gear, and
encouraging values are being found.
Placers Pay Well
An interesting and somewhat import
ant factor in the present and future
production of Rawhide are the placer
grounds Immediately below town, where
operations are being actively Carried
on. On the Dead Mule lease a six-foot
channel is being worked which carries
values running from So to So per yar.l,
with frequent spots showing much
higher values. Water is secured from
the Rawhide water works system, and
after going through the sluices IL
pumped back to the head and used over
and over again,

The first year of active development
work in Rawhide has given to Nevada a
new camp Of proven merit and great
promise for the future, and one which
seems destined within the first six
months Of the new year to fully estab-
lish itself rs one of the most important
gold producing sections of the state.
Its record Of production during the first
year of its existence has been a remark
able one in view Of the adverse inan-
cial conditions which have handicapped
its development from the prospect to a
substantial mining stage, and it is in a
generous way "making good on the
expectations justified by rich surface
showings which first attracted atten-
tion to the district.

field during a ''gusher' excitement,
it being but about 600 feet from the
north to the south end of the string.
Depths attained by these shafts vary
from 200 to 1926 feet, with extensive
drifts and crosscuts therefrom, which
have proven up the stability of the hill
as a producer of ore.
Ballon Hill Is Rich
Balloon hill, from which the first
shipments of ore were made, still main
tains a foremost place as a stea ~ pro
Queer. The Kearns No. 2, on which
nearly $500 feet of development work
has beer done, is making large ship
ments of $50 to SIS ore from the 65-
foot level, and reports indicate the dis
closure of good milling values in t. E
crosscuts from the 100 and 2O0-foot
levels. This lease covers the Balloon
Fraction, which is a portion of the Raw
hide Queen Mines company estate.
The Kearns No. / lease, also on the
Queen estate, has recently re-entered
the shipping class with a good produc-
ton of ore running $3.50 per ton from
the old shaft on which work was re-
sumed about a month ago. A crosscut
is being driven from the 150-foot level
of the new shaft to make connection
with the old workings.
The st. Ives lease, lying between tine
Kearns leases, is making shipments of
$50 ore from the upper level, and cross
cutting is in progress from the 100 and
200-foot levels in search of new ore
bodies.
A splendid showing is being made on
the Bradshaw lease, on the southern
most block of the Balloon claim, where
a fair-sized streak of very high grade
ore was opened a short time ago in con-
n~ection with a large body of good mill
ing ore. This block is being operated
by the Dromiack Mining and Leasing
company, composed of Reno capitalists.

grade ore have been encountered
throughout the district, the future and
prosperity of the camp depend upon the
bodies of milling ore which have NJ
ready been proven up or will be dis
covered in the progress of development.
The greatest need of the camp at pres
ent is mills, and if the plans which have
already been announced by various COM
p%anies are carried out, Rawhide will
soon be supplied with a milling capacity
of from 200 to 400 tons per day.
Mills Are Coming
In addition to the Murray mill of so
tons capacity which is now under con-
struction, plans for the near future in
clude the Big Four mill of equal ca
pacity, a 100-ton mill by the Coalition
company, probably at SOM point near
Schurz, a 5O-ton mill neal Rawhide by
l.. M. King of California and asso-
%ciates, and also one by DIR. Weiss Of
Colorado. Already two mills of small
capacity have been constructed anil
tried out on the fiat a few miles below
town, but they were apparently not
adapted to the successful treatment of
Rawhide ores. The first Of these mills
was put in by "Swiftwater Bill'
Gates, and although frequently over
hauled and added to, has so far proven
o failure. The second mill was put in
last summer by the Watt & Bradford
Reduction company, and has also been
a disappointment.
The recent construction of the Truitt-
Rankin mill Of so tons capacity at
Schurz has made an outlet for some of
the higher grade milling ores, but until
the railroad between Rawhide and
Schurz is in operation to afford a low
freight rate, the lower grade ores of
the district can not be shipped there
advantageously.
Present indications are most favor
able, however, for a good supply Of
mills in close proximity to the camp in
the near future, and then its enlarged
activity and production will be ushered
in.

zone, and as many other leases are in
course of development with windlass,
and nearing the productive period.
The numerous bodies of high grade
shipping ore which have been opened
throughout the camp have been aug
mented by large bodies Of good milling
ore carrying values of from $40 to $40
per ton, but from which practically no
revenue has been derived by ~lessees or
mine owners on account of the lack Of
milling facilities by which they could
be treated. Several mills of good ca
pacity are now projected for immediate
construction, however, which will in
the near future place many of these low
grade bodies onto a proft-making
basis. This will inaugurate a new era
Of activity and an immense production
for Rawhide, which will undoubtedly
demand the construction Of other mills
to handle a steadily increasing output.
Great Surface showtngs
Rawhide first began to attract the
attention of prospectors about fifteen
months ago, when some remarkable
surface showings were discovered on
Balloon hill, which was soon followed
by rich shipments therefrom by the
