RAWHIDE
LEASE HELD BY LASSoN PROM.
iSES TO DEVELOP INTO ONE OF
RICHEST IN STATE.


in from Rawhide last evening, where
they have been spending several days.
The trip out was mainly to inspect
the work that is going on at the
Grutt-BalloOn Hill lease, which was
promoted by Mr.. Casson. AS several
Carson people have been fortunate
enough to hold stock in this lease.
the Appeal man hunted up Mr.. Cas-
son. The gentleman stated first, that
he did not wish to boom the property.
mainly from the fact that the stock
had been withdrawn from the market
and that they have the goods that
is bringing bullion to the treasury.
He brought in nearly one hundred
its way to this city in many a day
At present the work is being prose-
cuted on the drifts and winze. The
face of the drift is in shipping ore
bottom of the winze has eighteen
inches of what might be termed
picture ore, several specimens brough
to this city not only show free gold
but are covered with silver
The fact that the lease is shipping
regularly, and the development work
without stopping a pound of ore has
made treasury that soon promises
dividends, is the best evidence of the
character OF the ore being mined. 1t
is proposed to sink the working shaft
sixty feet deeper when they will
cross-cut to the high grade vein.
With this Level cut stOping will begin
and It is safe to predict that some
thino OF sensational nature will go
out in the way of shipments Mr.
CassOn further stated that the con-
dition O. the mine was far in ad-
vance OF expectation, as Superintend
ct Looney had undervalued the width
and value OF the vein in the many
kilograms and letters received in this
city. Edwin Hoffman, an engineer OF
note visited the property and stated
tnat for the development it was by
far the richest showing in the state
and that the lessrs could expect
larger and better values as depth
was attained. The lease is regarded
as the premier strike OF RaWhide. and
ar. King, the general manager OF
the Queen Company, SPENDS two
thirds of his time watching the high
grade being hoisted to the surface.
| The lease is equipped with small
gasoline hoist, the shaft we'll tim
Dered and everything in order for
large extraction. BY installing blow
er, which is being done at present.
l, is proposed to put on all the men
that can work to advantage. Two
shipments of high grade have gone
out and another is on the way. In
the future only carload lots are to
| go to the smelters, as the mine is now
in condition to figure on a large scale
secure teams to haul to the railroad.
but this matter is being Iighted. 1t
is freely predicted by those who have
visited the lease that it will sur
pass some of the Sensational leases
in Goldfeld, as the lease IS of long
life, and the character of ore being
shipped equally that of GOldfieid or
any other camp, while the vein is
exceptionally wide for the character
of ore.
Mr.. Wer.l had little to say as he
was busy running some assays he
took from the ledge. He did state
that it looked like the best thing in
the state to him, and that every foot
Of depth was in richer ore. He had
some of the quartz in the furnace and
it fairly bristled with gold and silver.
AS none Of this stock is being peddled
in this city, and specimens are shown
mainly for the pleasure of doing so.
it carries out the statement made
by the two gentlemen that it Is one
of the greatest strikes made in the
state.
