OLD MINE OPENS
NEW BODY Or HIGH GRADE

The Yellow Aster at Randsburg is
opening a good body of high grade in
the lower levels, 1900 feet below the
apex and 500 feet from the surface, a
crosscut from the 1900 point breaking
into what is Thought to be the same
vein that ran as high as $1,000 in the
upper workings, says the Searchlight
Bulletin. 1t is concluded by mining
men from an examination of this old
property, that the Yellow Aster is show
ing in as good shape as ever in it's his
tory, and is dropping its 100 stamps on
500 tons daily. Other properties are
active around Randsburg, and a good
deal of prospecting is going on.

SMELLING BY ELECTRICITY
NOW SEEMS A SUCCESS

1t is believed now that the successful
operation of the electric iron smelter
which has beer in construction at Per
ault, neal Redding, CAL, for the last
year., is destined to re~volutionize the
iron and steel industry of the world.
The furnace of the new smelter tapped
for the first time, yielded so fine a
quality of metal that it's success is said
to be guaranteed beyond all doubt. The
small experimental plant near there is
running in full blast. 1t is believed
that the utilization of the new process
will result in California becoming the
home of numerous great iron works. The
necessity of coal and coke for smelling
will be obviated by the electric process,
and the small cost of producing the re-
quisite current is thought to project the
future Importance of the iron industry.
The experiments which have proved the
feasibility of electric smelling were
completed recently by Prof. Lyon of
Stanford university and a corps of as
sistants.

CAT CREEK GOLD STRIKE
IMPROVES WITH DEPTH

There can be no doubt now as to
the Importance of the gold find made
in Cat Creek by Steve Kavanugh and
Fred Weber, on their lease on the Gil
roy claim, mention of which was made
in these columns last week, says the
Nina Miner. As depth has been at
tanned the ledge has widened until it
is about four feet. The entire ledge
matter pans we'll and is good milling
pre-, while rich stringers through it
u up into the pictures. Messrs. Web
Der and Kavanaugh are pushing opera
tions with all speed possible. j. b.
Menardi, who has extensive holdings
in the same district will install a mill
ing plant at the mouth of Cat Greek
at an early date to treat the ore o
being opened up. Other leasers are
getting busy and the district which is
from six to eight miles north of Haw-
thorne promises to be a lively one be-
fore the summer is over. In addition
to the above the Mount Grant Mining
company and the Nevada Consolidated
Mines and Milling company, in the
same section, are both doing extensive
development and ~uncovering marvellous
ore bodies. The next big excitement
will be in Cat Creek.

RICH STRIKES REPORTED
IN YELLOWSTONE DISTRICT

G. A. Lane, the well known mining
man, returned last evening from yell
lowstone, where he succeeded In secur-
ing seven claims adjacent to the prop
erty on which the strike was made last
week. says the Winnemucca News.
Last summer q man named Campbell
located several claims and laid out a
townsite called Yellowstone some %
miles due south of Winnemucea. He
had beer working along on his claims
for some time, when last week he en-
countered rock, assays from which
showed values of $4,000 per ton.
Hearing Of the strike, Mr.. Lane left
town in the middle Of the night and
succeeded in stalking out seven claims
before the stampede begun. At presen'
everything within a radius OF severa
miles has been staked. Mr.. LAM
brought back with him a specimen o.
rock taken from one Of his claim
which is nearly solid gold.

DOUBLE SHIFT WORKING
ON LUCY GRAY MINE

Work is humming at the Lucy Gray
near Las Vegas. The recent rich strikes
have imbued the miners and manage
ment with new energy, says the Age.
A double shift will be put IN the main
shaft May first and the force of miners
increased. An order for a carload of
mining timbers was placed April 2S for
timbering the shaft and building the
ore bins. The shaft has advanced since
April first, 81 feet and IN effort will be
made to double that distance in May.
The cry is "down to water where the
greatest values are believed to be. Some
small bodies of ore are being struck in
the shaft, but it is not expected to cut
the large vein encountered in the north
west drift on the 200-foot level, under
60 or 20 feet. 1t is interesting to note
that some Of the small bodies of ore
being encountered in the shaft are high
grade.
Lucky leasers are striking good ore in
the north drift on the 70-foot level.
Ore taken out for several days past give
pan tests of from $50 to $50 in coarse
gold.

QUO VADIS MIN AT LAS
VEGAS SELLS FOR $4,000

Las Vegas, May 4.-Robert Vincent
and John b. Anderson, owners of the
Quo vadis group of claims near Rail
road Pass, have given a lease and bond
on the property to H. H. Farrell of this
city, the purchase price being fixed at
$4,000.
Under the terms of the lease de-
velopment work has been begun and
will be continued during the life of the
lease.
The Quo Vadis has been long con-
sidered one of the most promising
groups of mining claims in this section.
Excellent samples of ore have been tax
en- from the property, but as yet the
amount of development work has been
too small to determine it's real value. 1t
is the expectation that ore may be tax
en- from the property from the start,
sufficient to carry on the necessary work
to prove the property. The erection of
sampling works by the Western Ore
Purchasing company will be a great aid
in the development of mining properties
in this manner.
Shipments will be made as soon as
there is sufficient ore in sight and the
returns therefrom divided on the roy
atty basis, the portion going to the
previous owners to be applied on the
purchase price of the property.

ANOTHER HOIST IS BEING
PLACED ON LANDER HILL

Whiting a day or two the people OF
Austin will hear the whistle which
%nnounce the completion of the work
of installing the steam hoist ON the
Jamiesan- Rice Clinton-C olvan lease on
Lander Hill, says the Reveille. This
will mark the Inauguration of more ex-
tensive working upon this valuable
block of ground, the initial effort of a
new company who are planning extern
sive mining operations in our district.
Upon this lease, a block of 1900 feet
on the Roosevelt claim belonging to
w. II. Whitburn, the incline is now to
a depth of sixty feet. Clorides continue
from the very surface to a depth OF
over so feet, while the remainder of the
incline shows a good body of %sulphide
ores. The extent of the ledge matter
is shown by the fact that the foot wall
has not been exposed in any part of
the workings though a well defined
hanging wall is exposed. From three
feet upwards of good shipping ore is in
sight with milling ore in large quanti-
ties. The assays show values running
from so to 225 ounces in silver with
gold values from $40 down.
This same firm has also an option
upon the entire Roosevelt claim, and
from present indications their lease
should enable them to pay out upon
the option. Old residents will remem-
Der this block of ground as the old
6 Curuo'' claim.

CLOvERDALE PROPERTY IS
SOLD FOR LARGE SUM

T. NJ. Blackjack and II. w. Gould of
Nebraska have acquired the control of
the gold property of the United Verde
Mining company near the town of
Golden, ~ miles south of Austin on a
basis of $150,000 valuation. The new
owners already nave brought onto the
ground mining supplies and equipment
for carrying ON vigorous work.
The company was Incorporated in
1906 and has carried on active develop
ment since. The principal ledge which
gives value to this property has been
opened up in various workings for
over a mile. The company has done
over 900 feet of mining and in places
has taken out ore that ran into the
thousands. Taken as a whole the
ledge will average $4,000 to the ton.
1t is free milling ore and the new
owners will erect a mill on the premises.
Mr.. Blackjack, who was instrument
al in making the deal, is a practical
and experienced mining He
successfully managed some good pro-
ducers in Utah for Senator Clark and
has had a generally successful career.
He was connected with the Verde
three months in the beginning Of de-
veiopment work and has ever since
maintained that it il . great property.
He is manager in control now and will
plan his work for big results. -Austin

DICKERSON WILL ERECT
MILL ON BLAINE MINE

Governor Dickerson, State Inspector
Stuart, A. ]. Fesler and James Reilly
returned last evening from a two-day
visit of inspection to the property of
the Blaine Gold mining company at
Blaine, in the Granite district, says the
Ely Expositor.
AS the result Of the development
work which has been done during the
past winter, the property is now in
excellent shape and Mr.. Staurt pro-
nounced it as having one of the best
assure veins that he has eve seen
and stated he was very well pleased
with it. Now that the vein has been
proven by the tunnel to continue to
the depth of 600 feet and carry good
values in gold all the way from the
surface to the tunnel level, the COM
pany will Immediately proceed to
erect a mill near the mine where the
values will be extracted. AS a whole
1T is a low grade proposition though
a fourteen inch section of the vein
that would pay to ship If the com
pany desired to do SO but, as the ore
is practically all free milling, no
shipments will be made and all ore
will be milled at the mine.
The erection of a mill in the district
will likely stimulate the development
of other properties in the vicinity as II
some of them similar veins have beer
partially explored and some very high
grade ore found in places. Owing &c
the character of the vein the mill viii
probably be equipped with stamps fol
crushing the quartz, and plates, witt
other modern devices will be installed
for saving the gold.

Of IL feet have found rock that pans
in encouraging quantities from a ledge
that is believed to be the west extern
sion of the Morgan-Stofelt vein.
Tale Seam Pans Well.
The Mclean lease having the east
extension of the Morgan-Stofelt vein
mas started work little over a week ago.
The shaft is down 20 feet and timbered
all the way. A tale seam has been en-
countered which shows a long string of
colors in the pan.
Davidson, Anderson & Berg is the
new leasing company that will soon
start work on the property formerly
known as the Clark & happening lease
on the Blackhawk claim owned by the
Round Mountain Red Top Mining COM
pany. A 15-h. p. Fairbanks Morse hoist
is on the ground, the galiows frame has
been set up and as soon as the cement
arrives from Tonopah the foundation
for the hoist will be put in. Manager
Davidson hopes to have everything in
readiness to start hosting by May LIST.
The shaft was sunk to a depth of 24o
feet and the new leasing company are
to sink lao feet below the present Level,
unless pay ore should be found before
hat depth is attained.
Superintendent Nels Paulsen, who is
developing the Lehigh Antelope lease,
stated that since March LIST the returns
of the ore milled by the Solid Gold mill,
snow a nice little profit for the month
and the prospects are that since the
lease has been granted a longer term
of life the company will soon employ
more men underground. From the pres
emit appearance of the lease it looks as
though it may pay a profit for several
months.

BIG DREDGER Is LAUNCHED
ON THE COLORADO RIVER

The dredger, North Dakota, was
launched yesterday at $3.50 p. M, on the
Colorado river at the mouth of Ell
dorado canyon. This dredger is the
property of the Colorado River Dredg-
ing company, a st. Paul corporation,
which viii operate six miles up the
river dredging for gold.
There has been used in building this
dredger 10000 feet of clear Oregon
pine, twenty tons of bolts and two tons
of spikes. Most Of the timber is forty
feet long.
The machinery is being put ON and
the dredger viii be completed in about
60 days.
1t was built by F. H. Jackson, super
intendsnt of the Byron Jackson Iron
Works Of West Berkeley, Cal. The
dredger is the largest of its type ever
constructed, and will handle 5000 yards
of gravel daily.-Searchlight Bulletin.

Operations on the B~luejackets by the
six set of leasers are being steadily
pushed with gratifying results. Messrs.
Morgan, Purdue and Stofelt on their
s00x600 foot block Of ground have start
ed east and west drifts from the shaft
that is down 35 feet. -Four s~tringcrs
varying from one-fourth inch to two
inches in width yield values Of from
SIS to 500 to the ton ON an average.
Mr.. Purdue stated to a representative
of the Nugget that two o n taken from
the rich seams sacked at the rate of
$500 per ton. He also stated that the
Is ton now sacked and ON the dump
would average at the mill between SIS
and 500 per ton. From careful pan
nings three to three and q half feet
will mill at the rate of SIS per ton. The
expect to make a test run in one
of the local mills about the 10th of
May and the plans of the leasers are
not to screen but send the entire pro-
duet to the mill as broken down without
sorting.
0of Lease Improving.
The Goff, King, Shuppy and Myles
lease is looking better and the boys are
certainly going to it. The shaft is down
so feet and q crosscut to the north ~
feet found what is believed to be the
hanging wall. At 8 feet from the shaft
the leasers cut a stringer from two to
six inches in width Of quartz and tale
showing free gold that indicates ship
ping values. The crosscut will be driven
for quite a long distance in order to
prove up that part of the ground.
NJ. j. Mcveigh started work last week
his block of ground 400 feet east OF
the Morgan-Stofelt lease and is now
prospecting the ground to catch the
vein that has been found on the Nc
Leans block. He has several deep
trenches from s to IA feet deep and has
found spots that indicate paying placer.
