The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1909-08-20

40 feet, another vein was encountered
which measures "a #. in width of about
the same character Of ore as the other
vein Still to the southeast there is an
other vein Of larger size than either of
the other two that have been cross-cu
as shown by the masses of ore outcrop-
ing that can be traced for 1900 or 1000
feet along the vein. Without any ex-
ageration there are hundlods of thou
sands of tons Of ore practically in sight.
The values, as indicated by the assays
are about the same as the Demming.
About 100 tons of ore ready for milling
or shipment adorns the various dumps
on this claim. The Sunset claim adjoins
the Milton on the southeast side with end
joining the Demming; thus the four
claims form body of ground 1900 feet
wide and 5000 #. in length
The Sunset has at least two good veins
of ore one of which is #, in width and
the other about feet in width. AS fan
as has been determined the veins run
parallel with those on the Milton, in a
general direction Of north of east and
south Of west.
About 20 tons Of ore has been extract
ed in doing the development work on
this claim Thisore is similar in charact-
er and Of about the same values, as the
ore found on the Demming and Milton
Taking these four claims together there
isenough ore blocked out and exposed tc
insure furnishing daily output of sew
eral hundred tons of ore for a long time
Two tests Of concentrating the values
Of this ore has been made, one for reduc-
ing 35 tons to ton gave value o.
S456.20 for the ton Of concentrates
The other, for reducing 80 tons to | ton
gave value Of 1896. rs.
A company with sufficient capital tc
handle proposition of this size woulc
soon develop here a mining property thai
would be a world wonder.
Plenty Of water power, timber neal
by, no heavy SHOWS, good healthy
climate and no mountain range to cross
to reach railroad shipping points, all ars
natural advantages that go towards
making the Boulder an ideal Mining
Camp
The Sun Rise is located south Of tht
Demming, and shows a vein of ore Of 1
much different character being hone,
combed quartz of good appearance anc
carrying some free gold Values Th,
ledge has not yet been crosscut but shows
to be from to II feet in width. Th'
course of this vein is more directly north
east and southwest and apparently cross
es the ground of the Big A. as the same
character of ore is found north of thai
ground, which indicates that the same
vein rims clear through the country t.
the east of .'Boon's Peak" The value
in this ore average about $35 per ton
although assays have been made on or
from this claim that run considerabl,
over 500 per ton. But very little de
velopment work has been done on thi
property, more then the necessary loca
ton and assessment work
The Bushranger is located to the nortl
of the Milton on the east side of the creel
and has three good veins from to Il
feet in width, all showing good values
nearly all in gold. Considerable develop
Inent work has been done on this proper
ty in open cuts and 4 tunnels; one is
feet, one 100 feet, one 80 feet and th
other 25 feet in length. The ore from
this claim prospects well in gold, an,
some gold can be seen with the make
eye in the ore taken from this claim
Abour 25 tons of rich ore has been ex
tracted and piled up on the dump.
The Snow Flake and Peter Pan ar
very promising properties of very muc
the same character as the Sun Rise an
Bushranger, both of these yield goo
prospects in course free gold in pannine
An assay from the Peter Pan shove
$134.6 per ton, over two thirds of th
value being i'm gold. These claims ar
developed by shafts about 20 or % feet j
depth where the ledge is exposed show
