JEFFERSON MINE PLANT
FAST NEARING COMPLETION

Charles Kanrohat, who recently sold
the famous jefferson mine at Jefferson
CANYON, to the McBeth syndicate or
New York, was in camp a few days
last week, says the Manhattan Mail.
In speaking of the Jefferson mine MIR.
Kanrohat said that there was now 49,
900 worth of machinery on the ground,
and that it would require about $4,000
more to complete the mill and equip the
mine as planned for, and that it would
probably require until April l next to
complete and have the plant in opera
ton.
Mr.. Kanrohat was enthusiastic over
the placer showings in Manhattan
gulch and expressed the belief that by
spring there would be more placer min
ing in the Manhattan gulch than in the
entire state of Nevada. Mr.. Kanrohat
said that in the year 1872 he drove
through this canyon over a thousand
head of cattle and three hundred head
of horses, but at that time the question
of placer or placer mining never en-
tered his head.

Of considerable excitement as a prob
able oil field three years ago, is again
attracting the attention of oil men,
Since the former excitement Al Me.
Causland has kept alive his interests
in that territory and has now been IN
strumental in bringing capital nto the
field. He has sold to a syndicate repre-
sented by Prof. r. T. Green of Phila-
de,pbia a tract of $40 acres in the
heayt of the oil field and a company
has been formed to put down a well ut

In an interview with the Rhyoli.e
Miner. Mr.. McCausland said:
.sWe arc selling $40 acres of our land
and il isn't the best we have either
At Indian springs we have one of the
best oil prospects in the world. All the
oil indications are present fossil rock,
parafine clay, a~sphaltun, shale-the
finest that can be found. The name of
our company is the Western Core Drill
ing company. We expect to be drilling
in a short time. The machinery is COM
inc from San Francisco. President
Clark of the Las Vegas and Tonopah
has promised to put in a side track
wherever we want to drill.
"Many are coming into Indian
springs. For fifteen miles on both sides
of the railrorad the ground has been
located"
1t is reported that twelve sections of
land in the oil fields changed hands last
week. Prospectors agree that the In
dications are excellent and the begin
ming of active work within two or three
weeks will be the means of creating
great activity.

SEIZURE MILL IS RUNNING;
PRosPECrORs ARE ACTIVE

The new Truitt- Rankin mill at
Schurz is now in operation and success
fully treating ore from the camps of
Granite and kawhide, the first ship
ment from the latter camp being from
the Grrtt- Hard lease on Grutt hill.
The mill is equipped with ten stamps,
amalgamation plates, two California
concentrating tables and four cyanide
tanks, each having a capacity OF 400
tons. A very close saving is being
made on the ore and better results are
expected as soon as the mill is adjusted
for doing it's best work. Water is Sc
cured from the Walker river, and
steam power is used.
There is considerable activity In a
prospecting way in the hills directly to
the west of Schurz, and good values in
copper, gold, silver and lead are being
found. The formation is altered granite
intersected by lime dykes, and the best
mineral showings are found at the con
tact of these formations.

to be employed for the purchase Of ore
in the district, and the ore will be
bought in lots from ten tons to a car
load, and the money will be paid as
fast as the ore can be got into the
sampler. This means a wonderful re-
lief to the leaser and the small mine
owner, and means besides, the greater
development of the district, for money
makes the mine grow as well as the
mare 60.
The Huntington mill on the English
George lease of the Badger Hill com
pany is about completed, and will be
in operation not later than a few days
more. They have a great deal of ore
blocked out GU the lease and the mill
will be kept busy from the start. There
is still another to be built in the dis
trict, hat of the Seven Troughs Min
ing company on the ground of the Fair
view claim. They are now making
tests of the Fairview orc in the Kinder
garten mill, there having been so tons
shipped to the mill for the purpose.
This ore is of high grade, and the teams
coming from the mine to Muzuma were
equipped with armed guards. The run
will not require more than ten days,
and very shortly after the test has
been made the construction of the mill
will be commenced. This will make in
all five mills in the district, and some
time in the spring there will be a 20
stamp mill put up by the Mazuma Hills

John Harnan, one of the principal own
ers in the Mazuma Hills that he could
give him a greater saving than the
smelters could make for him, and per
suaded him to try some of the high
grade at the mill. In future there will
be no more of the high grade of the
Mazuma Hills sent to the smelter. 1t
will all be treated at home.
The ore that went through the mill
came from the Mazuma Hills and from
the Reagan. lease on that property.
There were in all 2,21s tons, and the
amount of production from this was
~$S4,s64.47, or an average per ton Of
$3.50. This is the output of one mill
for a term of sever months, and from
one mine of the district; but it does NOT
represent the entire output of the Ma
yuma Hills by a good deal. There were
shipments made from both the Mazuma
Hills and it's big lease, the Reagan be-
fore the mill was built. The cost of the
Mazuma Hills was 100000 and this has
been paid for out of the production of
the mine, and the extension of the mine
which cost 100000 was also paid for
from the mine, and there is now a fat
treasury. The Reagan lease, bes'ies,

their work by water, but there are good
mining men behind the work, and the
result is that they went right through
with what they had started, n re-
fused to be discouraged by any sort OF
conditions. On the adjoining hill is the
Wihuia lease on the Therien mine, and
this too is one of the wonders of the
Seven Troughs district. Like the Sand
ifer they were up against the water II
the Wihuja, and they put in a great big
pump when they encountered the water,
and have forced the workings to the
375-foot level, where they have opened
up ore going in the neighborhood of
$1,000 a ton. This is in a shoot on the
kindergarten vein, and today they
opened up another shoot which promises
to be even more wonderful. They have
uncovered a bunch of high grade when

ing almost incredible.

G. Cadogan.
The Bullfrog West Extension com
pany is contemplating the construction
of a 1O-stamp mill, sufficient ore having
been blocked out to warrant the cree
ton of same.
New Mills Proposed
The 5O-ton custom mil at ~Springdaie
and the 35-ton custom mill at Beatty
are soon to be placed in commission,
and it has recently been announced that
a small sampling plant and mill will be
erected at South Bullfrog, four miles
from Rhyolite, for the purchase OF the
ores of the camp. The South Bullfrog
project is being promoted by DIR. c. r.
Bowen of McCabe, Arizona.
The Diamond Queen, Capricorn, Lit
tie Lee, Tramp Consolidated, Bullfrog
Mining and National Bank properties
are expected to contribute to the 1898
output in no small degree. Tit leasers
on these properties are taking out ore
right along.
The completion of a magnificent eoh-

state of Nevada. Twelve miles lonS

the district are two mines below the
500 level in depth, and there are sew.
eral more where they have high grade
ore as deep as $50 and 300 feet. The
Seven Troughs mine has a shaft down
to a depth of $50 feet where they have
good milling ore interspersed with pic
ture rock, and the Mazuma Hills is
sinking to the 6O0-foot level in ore
which is now averaging in the mill run
of the e%ompany's own mill, better than
800 a ton.
The district boasts of two mills in
operation; there are two more under
construction, and there is another soon
to be started. One cannot go behind
records in the way of mill runs and the
record of the Mazuma Hills mill speaks
more loudly than words. The mill
started to drop her ten stamps on the
2Sth of last May, and the first run last
ing from that date until the 18th of
June netted $~7,377.20. including the
concentrates. The saving on that first
run was 80 per cent, and there were 2S4
tons put through on the run, the aver
age per ton being $31.O3. From that
time on the saving was never less than
90 per cent, and it has been as high as
90 per cent.
The next run that was made lasted
from June 16 to June %, in which time
there were 293 tons crushed, the aver
age being $1,000 a ton. The cleanup
amounted to $7,953.99. From July 2 to

being $%1O,42S.16. From July 26 to
August Z they put through 24o tons, the
amount of which was $20,59S. This
was an average of $107. 80 a ton. From
August Z to September 80 the mill WIS
kept busy, and the amount of ore run
through was 402 tons which averaged
$21.:36 a ton. The cleanup footed M
$7,43S.s2. The next lot put through the

for a time.
At the beginning of the present year,
the shoshone mill had just nicely got
,en under way to make a steady produc-
tion. with the promise of bringing out
one of the biggest things in the state.
The Keane Wonder mill had just been
placed in commission, the Bullfrog Gold
par NIL was in course of construction,
and the excavation work for the 20
s.amn mill on the Homestake-K King hal
inst been commenced. Things looked
fine for a very prosperous year.
Knocks Came Thick ~
But in the spring along came that I'M
favorable "oficial" report on the Sho-
shone, stating that the total ore in
sight would produce only 100000 net
and holding out but little hope for flu
ture development; and soon after, the
promoters of the Gold Bar, after IN
augurating milling operations with
great hopes, announced that the mine
had suddenly turned into an 'empty

popped up just then, and added to the
Bullfrog's trouble. The result was that
the public lost faith in the Bullfrog
district. and the stocks went tumbling

Great ''0lory Hole"
The official bullion returns on Sho-
.hone, as published by the state bullion
tax collector, show a production Of
$685., 763.1s for the first nine months of
the year. The balance of $15O,0OO for
the last three months is the estimate
placed upon the production by the mine
management. The ore treated at the
mill during December averaged be-
tween ali and $1S a ton. There are
about $4,000 tons of milling ore broken
in the mine, and ore to run the mill for
several months is in sight at this time.
The extent of the "glory hole' de-
posit has not been determined, Al
though it has been opened at surface
for about $50 feet in length by 100 feet
wide and to a depth of 200 feet in the
west end. The ore has been proven
continuous for about 200 feet west of
the glory hole on the 200 level, and
slopes into the ore show it to be a solid
body. Everything at surface for 100
feet on either end Of the "glory hole"
is being moved, and the territory so ex-
posed is being quarried down into the
ssplory hole'' shoots and sent to the
mine. 1t is the biggest quarrying prop
osition in Nevada today. The mine IS
700 feet deep and has developed water
in quantity.
Pioneers Big Bonanza
The latest, and what promises to be
the most sensational thing ever opened
in the camp, is the strike in the Bull
frog Pioneer. Superintendent J. Il.
Bryan reported to me this week that a
cold FLOODED sampling of a ive-foct
face on the 165-foot level gave returns
of $49S in gold to the ton. The cross
cut from the winze at $50 feet exposed
an ore body which sampled 800 a ton
in gold across a width of fifteen feet,
but the more recent development shows
that the ore Is even uettcT do ucPeh -
gained. Shipments are being made
steadily, returns on carload shipments
going from $62 to $117 a ton, and it is
expected that a carload now being as
sembled will go $500. Scores of visit
ors have pronounced the Pioneer one OF
the biggest s~howings ever uncovered
in Nevada.
Mills Do Good Work
The Keane Wonder company is add
ing a 2O0-ton cyanide plant to its
equipment, with which the output will
be largely increased.
The Mayfower Consolidated has
started work on it's milling plant at
the mine, and a sufficient quantity of
ore running from .$12 to $50 has been
exposed to keep the plant busy fol-
months.
The Homestake-K King mill is doing
splendid work and a fine saving is re
ported. The mill is good for 10 tom
