NINE SOLD

The Ann Rutledge Mining com
pany yesterday purchased through H
~. Hawley, agent, the Mann lode in
Vermillion district. Cash was paid
for the property, the purchase price
being in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The Ann Rutledge company has been
working the mine under lease and
bond for several years and the show
ing has been a most promising one.
They intend to work the mine on a
very extensive scale as soon as the
snow melts.
The Short boys are placing a shaft
house with engine and boiler on their
property just under the Freedom
dump. They expect to work the
mine extensively and develop it into
a large producer. A considerable
amount of high grade ore has been
taken out of the property and free
gold ore has been picked up on the
dump only recently. The shaft is
about 100 feet deep and the mine
shows up very well considering the
small amount of development. Ar
mond Thompson is doing the top
work.

pose of putting in some timbers in
the 700-foot level of the Buell. mine
Monday evening at 1880 o'clock, Geo.
Foil came near being killed in a
cave-in. A big boulder weighing sew
eral ton.i came down with the dirt,
catching Polli. He was saved from
instant death through car which
was in the drift. The rock struck
one side of the car, which saved him
from getting the full weight. He
was pinned down so minutes before
he could be released from his per-
ilous position. Upon examining his
body DR.. Asquith discovered that the
man had sustained one broken rib.
Joe Flynn, who was working with
Polli in the drift. was only scratch
ed little about the face and feet.

The Old Town, Russell's great

NEVADAV|LLE
OPERATIONS

James Williams, acting for an cas-
tern company, has secured lease
upon the Gibson mine on the patch
and is now busily engaged in clean
ing up the property for the immediate
, resumption of operations. Experts
examining this mine last week state
1t contains the largest crevice OF
mineralized rock of any property on
the hill and is bound to become a
record producer with proper manage
ment and development
The German Uranium & Gold Min.
ing company have added the Mackey
Alps to their holdings and have com
I menced work upon that promising
property. 1t is believed by experts
employed by the company that a
large vein of uranium will be en-
countered in this mine as it lies di-
rect ? between the Belcher and the
Kirk, both of which have been large
producers of that elusive but ex-
tremely valuable mineral.
Probably the most important strike
OF the year was made on the German
mine last week. Although regarded
as astrictly pitch-blende proposition,
four-inch streak of rich copper ore
| was uncovered at a depth of only 13O
feet. While not looking for copper
ore at this depth, the discovery was
no less welcome and the promoters
are greatly encouraged in conse-
quence. The mine is being consist
emily and conservatively worked
under the able management of Mr.
Miller and bids fair to become one

Rumor reached the city yesterday
that Theodore Marx of Denver, had
succeeded in organizing a company

1t has long been the opinion of min
ing men that vast ore bodies exist
in this territory and that if the mines
were sunk to sufficient depth thai
this would prove the most profitable
section of the county. The great OBJ
stacle in the way of thorough de
velopment has been the great amount
of capital required. 1t is said thai
Mr.. Marx has succeeded in interest
ing several men of unlimited means

To Investigate Complaints.

In order to facilitate the work of
handling the numerous complaints
concerning the administration of the
National Forests, which are being re-
ceived from all over the west by the
Forest Service Committee of the
American Congress. it has been de-
cided by the directors of the Mining
Congress to appoint a local committe
in each state to receive complaints
arising from this source. make in
vestigation OF the same and act in

In order that wise selections may
be made the local vice-presidents OF
the congress have been asked to
suggest the names of the members
of the committee for each state.
While the Mining Congress favors a
wise conservation for our forests, it

will exert every influence to get a

to these complaints. and an official

LEASE THE
AsHTABULA

AS predicted by the Observer a
few weeks ago a deal has been made
whereby Central parties have secur-
de a lease and bond on the Ashta-
bula mine, one of the great producers
of the early days. The property is
owned by the Bostwick estate and
has been SO hedged about with legal
technicalities in relation to the set
tlement Of the estate that it was
deemed almost impossible to secure
lease at this time. However, Stew
en- Nankervis and Company have Sc
cured the much coveted papers and
are now at work retimbering the
shaft and making all preparations for
sinking in the near future. The Ash
tabula has produced more than one
fortune in it's time, ore running as
high as 30 ounces of gold to the ton
ings J. j. Clark and Company were
the last lessees on the mine and
were taking out IL to 16 ounce dirt
when their lease expired. Since that
time it has been impossible to OBJ
tain a lease upon the property as the
owners were holding it in reserve
for future exploration. Since the
death of Mr.. Bostwick many efforts
have been made to secure the prop
erty. Steven Harper has charge of
the operations for the present les
sees.
