A second shaft is being sunk and
the values characteristic of ore Ia
ken from the first one are found
there. At least calculation, the ledge
is between 800 and 400 feet wide and
Mr.. Cosby says the values appear
to be well dissembled through the
rock
Zone Extends for Miles.
The ore bearing zone upon which
the Atlanta mine is located has been
traced for or 10 miles and good
paintings have been obtained all along
the way.
The property bonded recently to a
syndicate of Ely parties by Hulse
and Armitage is showing splendid ore
and it is counted on as one of the
coming bonanzas of the Atlanta camp
The Atlanta company is about to in
stall a gasoline hoist, and IL the show.
| ing in the Hulse-Armitage ground
continues a little further it is rea-
sonably certain that another plant
will go in.
The hills are filled with prospectors
mining men are coming In from all
directions. Ely is getting excited orc
the country and the business men Of
that place are endeavoripg to draw
the Atlanta trade that way, notwith-
standing the distance is against them.
NewhOuse, Utah, is making a pull for
it, but the distance to that point
! is even greater.
Phoebe Natural Supply Point.
Phoebe, however, is the logical dis
tributing point and number of lead
ing citizens of Atlanta have taken
the initiatory towards opening new
road which will cut out all the noun
tain grades and bad stretches Of sand
and rock on the Wilson Creek route,
which is now used between Phoebe
and the new gold district. Besides,
the Wilson Creek route is next to
impossible in the winter, so these
enterprising citizens of Atlanta have
sought a new way by descending
gradually into Patterson wash via
Gold Springs, thence to Wilson Greek
sink, thence to the 81, 70 and S mile
houses, making valley road prac-
ticaily the whole way, with the dis
tance not to exceed 81 miles. Two
wells will have two be sunk; one at
the Wilson Greek sink, the other 10
miles north of that point.
E. D. Stone, James Hulse and sew
eral others have been the leaders in
the new road movement and at their
own expense have blazed the way
! through miles OF thick timber into
the valley They expect to get some
assistance from the business men OF
Phoebe to complete the line and the
/ latter will be invited to go over the
. route with them.
Lead Road Movement.
i Merrss. Hulse and Stone declare tha
the proposed road could not be bet
, ter adapted for automobile service;
/ that the trip c,Ju be made in less
than two hours easily, after the new
part becomes we'll broken.
