SILVER STRIKE ATTRACTS
ROUND MOUNTAIN MINERS

GOLDFIELD, June 13.-Three miles
from the camp of Round Mountain, in
Jefferson canyon. is the property Of
the Jefferson Mining company, which
is said to have just encountered in a
winze at seventy feet depth body
of ore that will run close to 1000
ounces of silver to the ton. Round
Mountain being supposedly strictly
gold section, the recent silver find will
open up new possibilities for that dis
trict.
A test run of the Stolfelt lease on the
Blue Jacket claim gave on an average
of 500 in gold at a depth of only thirty
feet. The values were encountered in
q drift. Before many days a test run
will be made at the Gibson & Gala
CHER lease on the same claim. The
shaft is down only thirty-five feet, and
the ore in many cases shows free gold
with an occasional jewel specimen.
Twenty-Five tons were recently run
through by the management of the
Holland -Meehan lease, on the Round
Mountain Combination. The average
was $62.60 a ton.

CALIFORNIA GOLD HOLDS
MEETING AT RIVERSIDE
Six Months Work on Vontrieger Prop
erty Includes Grading for
New Plant

A meeting of the stockholders of the
California Gold & Copper company
was held at Riverside last Wednes-
day. A number of the stockholders at
tended and many of them subscribed
for more stock. Reports of the COM
pany's financial standing were read
by the secretary, also of money spent
for lumber, machinery and the general
expense from the first of the year.
A. Steck of Bloomington, a stock
holder of the company, was one of the
latest visitors to the mine. He gave
brief talk on the property as he
saw it when at the mine He said:
IF you could imagine ledge as wide
as the longest of one of Riverside's S
city blocks you could get an idea as
to how wide the monster ledge is on
the property of the California Gold &,
Copper company"
A. H. Cram, president of the COM
pany, reported on the progress of the
work at the mine He said work on
the electrical copper teaching plant
pany's property at Vontrigger, Cal, is
progressing satisfactorily. The grad
ing has been finished and one of the
automatic grinders installed. A car
load of lumber is at the mine. 1t will
be used in the erection of the mill The
teaching tanks are also on the prop
erty as is a consignment of cement
and other materials which Will be
used to complete the plant.
The company will conduct an excur-
sion to it's property June 26. A reduced
rate from the Santa Fe company for
the excursion has been secured.

STRIKE RESULT OF ACTIVE
OPERATIONS
Company Holding 800 Acres Ships
Seven Cars to DougIas-DeveIop-
ments Include 300 Feet of
TunneIing

The Silver Seal Exploration COM
pany, organized in Los Angeles less
than one year ago, is operating its
mining property at Nacozari, Sonora,
Mexico. The mineral holdings of this
company amount to 800 acres. 1t has
done about 800 feet of development
work, mostly tunneling. and has en-
countered high grade shipping ore in
the development work.
1t has recently shipped seven cars,
the proceeds from which amount to
$14,141, the ore having been shipped to
the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas,
Ariz
The ore is mixed sulphides carrying
silver and copper as the principal
metals, besides some values in gold,
the latter being more prominent near
er the surface, but as depth is at
tanned the gold is running proportion
ately less and an increase in the silver
and copper values.
1t is not the intention to install a
reduction plant as the ore Is of such
value and character that it is eagerly
sought after by the customs smelters.
The company's offices, located in the
Wright & Calender building, received
telegraphic advices Saturday from the
mine superintendent advising that the
tunnel the miners had been driving to
cut the vein at greater depth had
broken into the ore body disclosing a
vein of rich ore, which will add ma
terialuly to the production.
The company is at present working
thirty men, but will Immediately in
crease the force now that additional

Union No. a consolidation will prob
ably be effected during the present
week of the Plamanez and Shea leases.
On the War Eagle claim of the Sey-
Humphrey company James Shea
and others who have successfully op-
Grated lease on Union No. have
uncovered a ledge which on the sur
face shows two feet in width and car
ries average values of from $40 to $40
ton, with parts of the ore assaying
above $100 a ton. Only surface work
has been done on this ledge as yet,
but the showings are gratifying to the
leasers as we'll as to the Seyler-Hum-
phrey company.
On the east side the Toiyabe Gold
Mining company has also uncovered a
new ledge which, at depth of forty
five feet, shows an average value of
from 500 to $25 a ton. 1t also has
streaks of ore that assay much higher
Probably the most important dis
covery made during the past week in
quartz was that on the Morning Star.
At a depth of 1876 feet on this prop
erty the entire bottom of the shaft is
in mineralized rock with two feet of
ore that will average better than $50
a ton; five inches of this ledge lying
along the footwall will assay above
$50 a ton.

INYO COUNTY

M0JAVE RAILROAD PROVES
VALUABLE ACQUISITION
NUMEROUS GOLD STRIKES CAUSE
GENERAL ACTIVITY
Mines in Argus Mountains Give Evil
denee of Coming Greatness-Gold-
Silver-Lead-copper Assays
Run $152 Ton

Inyo county is fast coming to the
front as a rich mining district. The
extension of the Nevada & California
railroad from Mojave northward has
contributed largely to the impetus
given this rich mining district Mr..
Gilbert, president of the Los Angeles
Leasing company, has just returned
from an examination of the district
and reports that the mines are all
active and new. and rich strikes are
frequently being made. While the re-
cent big strike of the Monster, as
saying s14S4 in gold, is probably the
largest of record, yet there are nu-
merous claims being worked that are
averaging from SIS to 5000 in gold
and gold and silver
On the Last Chance property a
shaft has been sunk seventeen feet.
At twelve feet an assay of S29.S1 was
taken, at fourteen feet an assay of
S4401 and at seventeen feet an assay
run $52.07 in gold and silver. The
Los Angeles Leasing company has an
exceedingly long term lease upon this
property.
The climate is exceedingly well
adapted to continuous work through
out the year. In past years there has
been thousands of tons of ore mined
and treated in a crude manner and
every indication, now that modern
methods are being adopted, points to
phenomenal values being removed.
The new towns of Monster and Gus
ter are rapidwly increasing in popula
ton as a result of the operations in
tho district.
The Los Angeles Leasing company
controls three claims, the Last Chance,
the Karma and the Joe B., the two
last of which have not been opened
as yet. 1t is their intention to begin
work upon these Immediately. The
property is located in the Argus noun
tion of Brown, and at an altitude of
5000 feet. The ore deposits of the
Argus mountains do not differ min
eralogically from the mines of the
most productive locations, and it APP
pears evident that this section will
be heard from in the near future as
one of the richest of California dis
tricts. The Gypsy Queen, on which
Mr.. Shary of Los Angeles is pushing
work rapidly. shows values of $31.S0 in
gold, while the Goldfield-Argus, an ad-
Joining property. has assays of $152.50
in gold silver. lead and copper Such
uniform showings indicate the rich
ness of the whole district.
An effort is being made to secure
better freight rates over the new road
TO Brown station for Salt Wells valley.
Farms are rapidly being taken up and
about $50 families have moved into
that section. Mining has taken a boom
and the rich properties opened call for
a great deal of mining machinery. A
favorable adjustment of rates is asked
for household goods wagons. farm
machinery, groceries. hardware. mining
machinery, lumber, lime. cement, etc.

COPPER QUEEN WILL
NOT CURTAlL OUTPUT;
ADDS TWO FURNACES

BISBEE, June 13.-At the smelter of
the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining
company in Douglas two more furnaces
were started during the past week, and
when it is remembered that this COM
pany gets the majority of its ore sup
ply from the Warren district it will be
noted that this is significant event.
1t means that this company has no in
tention of curtailing the output, as has
been so often reported, but evidently
sees the prospects of better metal prices
ahead.
General Manager Walter Douglas, in
letter made public to the local press,
states:
There is no intention to either re-
duce production or the working force.
l regard the future of the copper in
dustry as fattering. The market is now
firm, the surplus not large and better
prices are confidently expected"

Lrlnirg Corporation Forwards
Twenty-Five Tons to Snlelter

NOLDFIELD, June 13.-The Lun-
eT ing Gold Mines Syndicate made
" it's first shipment of twenty
five tons to the smelter June z.
This ore was taken from the
upper workings, and is not as
high grade as the ore in. the lower
levels, but will pay a handsome profit.
The values are in gold, silver and lead.
Connections with the lower level have
not been made, and to get this ore
out it was necessary to build slides
down the mountain side. The ore was
let down by windlass for about 1000
feet, where it was loaded on drag
and hauled down to the foot of the
mountain to the new road to Luning,
which reduces the haul to four and
half miles.
1t is the purpose of the company to
put in chute 1000 feet long, the
mountain being so precipitous that the
ore can be landed at the foot of the
mountain without any assistance. This
chute will be arranged so that it can
take the ore from the upper work.

STRIKE OF WIRE GOLD is
MADE NEAR MoUNTAINAIR r

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, June 13.-
A strike of what is said to be wire
gold, free gold and high grade copper
has been made in the mountains near
Mountainair. and so great an excite
ment has been produced by the find
that persons between Belen and Will
lard are quitting their occupations and
fiocking to the scene of the strike.
Though the discovery was made only
a few days ago, the mountains there
have already been named the "Moun-
tainair district" and many believe that
it will become a great mining camp.
More than 200 claims have been staked
and the inhabitants of the new camp
are taking steps to organize a local
government. No assays of the ore have
yet been reported.

viii Solve Problem

Ell PASO, June 13.-C. F. Willis,
superintendent of the Enterprise mines
in Grant county. N. M, who was a
visitor in El Paso a few days ago. is
of the opinion that the cyanide plant
which is now in operation at the mines
will settle the long vexed problem of
how to successfully treat the ore. The
ore is manganese, carrying good values
in gold and silver and for many years
it has baffled all efforts to treat it in
satisfactory manner. 1t is now be-
lieved that the mine can be operated
in future as a good paying PROPOSE
ton. About fifty men are now en-
ployed, though but few of these are
taking out ore, the others being en-
gagged in development work

smeIter Increases Output

GLOBE, June 1S.-As the result of
the upward tendency of the copper
market, coupled with an increase in
the quality of ore handled the Old
Dominion smelter turned out 3,008,090
pounds of copper last month, an in
crease of nearly quarter of a million
pounds over the preceding month.
With copper still at fairly low
figure. this showing is excellent and
as the smelter is showing no signs OF
decreasing the output still larger
production of copper may be the re-
suit at the end of the present month.

BULLION FLOWS
INTO PRESCOTT
ETA MINE SHIPS TWO BARS
VALUED AT $500
CONSIGNMENT FROM ACCIDENTAL
WEIGHS 22e OUNCES
Old Congress Among Other Mines
Sending yellow Metal to Bank.
Several Little Enterprises
Ship Steadily

PRESCOTT, June 13.-The Bokaritz
Mining company, operating the Eta
mine in Cherry creek, sent to the Pres
colt National bank last week two bars
of gold bullion of the value of $500. The
fineness of the bullion showed the per-
feet milling facilities of the plant, and
was pronounced the best looking bars
received for some time.
Another consignment of bullion was
also received by this bank from the
Poland Mining company, the weight
being 226 ounces. This was from the
Accidental vein of the group, the oldest
quartz mining location in the district
and also the most profitable of the
claims being operated by the company.
The Accidental claim was located by
Wales Arnold in 1864 and was the in
itial quartz location monument placed
in that district, and to him was it
prospected.
He had some trouble in holding the
ground owing to the hostility of some
miners there to those who wore the
uniform of Uncle Sam, Mr.. Arnold in
that day being in the volunteer service,
attached to the California column.
He worked the claim, however, and
little ore being encountered he was
compelled to abandon it. Later it was
relocated.
1t seems somewhat of a coincidence
that the first claim located there should
be in this day the most profitable of the
producers and rank first as the most
profitable.
Reliable Old Congress
The reliable old Congress mine comes
to the front again with another con-
signment of gold bullion weighing 22S
ounces, which this banking house will
ship to the mint. The shipment re-
ooiHAH iS the rao11lar WapklN ~
sgnment, and In addition the conceu-
trate values are also heavy. This mine
has been a wonderful producer, and is
one of the distinctively gold producing
mines of this country that has been
operated steadily.
1t has 100 stamps dropping twelve
hours a day, and it's working force is
over 125 men.
The above consignments to the bank
ing house cover but a few of the ship
ments that reach this city. The placer
gold that comes to mercantile houses,
together with direct shipments made
through Wells, Fargo & Co., in the
aggregate will show hundreds of dol
lars more in the yellow metal that
comes to this center weekly.
The present low figure at which cop
per is valued practically necessitates
the operation of many small gold min
ing enterprises, and while production
varies with some, with others it is re-
munerative and permits of the de-
velopment of gold mining ground that
otherwise would not prevail.
With the advance in copper prices
there should be an era Of productive
mining in this section that has not pre-
vailed in years and with the yellow
metal product linked with that of the
red the greatest showing in general
mining work will be to the credit of the
field Immediately adjacent to Prescott.

operation of letting the ore down by
windlass or packing it out
Before another month the company
expects to have made the connections
with the lower level where the recent
high grade ore was found. At present
the men are working on the Robert
shaft. They are down over fifty feet,
drifting east and west on the vein
and blocking out the ore and in a
few weeks they will have stopping
ground sufficient so that two or three
men can easily take out carload OF
ore a week at this point.
r. B. Todd is now on his way to Los
Angeles with view of arranging fol
their own reduction works.
This is another instance where per-
sistence and hard work will be re-
warded, and adds another mine to the
list of producers in Esmeralda county.
