DE VOTE BOYS SHIP ORE
FROM HoRNsrLvER PROPERTY

A wagonload of ore from the De
Vote property at Hornsilver passed
through the street yesterday, consisting
of six tons of ore which runs $75 per
ton. This makes the second shipment
from the mine, and it was turned over
to the Nevada Reduction Co.
The ledge from which the ore is taken
is 2h feet in width and is widening
with depth, it now being worked at so
feet. The De VOTES say they will ship
ten tons per week right along-more
after a while.

ously.
An extension was recently granted
upon conditions by the Mazuma Hills
Mining company and the work which
the lessee will now do will be of the
utmost Importance to the district.
Under the terms of the new lease the
present shaft must be continued $50
feet farther. The lowest levels of the
mine now are 265 feet and with the
Reagan east and west veins opened up
at this increased depth the showing
should be phenomenal.
The presence of high-grade ore was
first discovered OF the property al a
depth of but So feet. At this depth the
vein was badly broken and the body
or ore comparatively small. At each
successive level the ore body cut has
shown Improvement, not only in size,
but in value and uniformity.
A station will be cut and crosscuts
and drifts run at the 400-foot level and
at the SAME time the sinking will be
continued at least to the depth requ.r.
ed by the lessor company.
Strikes High Grade.
The new lease on the B~oilermakers
which is being operated by William
Dingee and associates ran onto a body
of high-grade ore in the shaft on Tues
day.
This shaft is being sunk close to the
end line of the claim and within a few
feet of a very rich surface strike on the
Big Dipper. In sinking the shaft they
have been on the vein all the way and
with the same values. The vein as far
as opened up is four feet wide and the
foot wall has not been reached yet.
The values have been found in a quartz
porphyry. On Tuesday a ~ffteen-inch
stringer of tale carrying about 800
was shot into an dthis is continuing.
The Boilermakers are situated about
a mile to the north and east Of Vernon
and considered among the best claims
in the district.
The drifts on the Morrison-Mo lte
are being continued both north
and south with full faces of ore.
The work is being done on the S0-foot
level because the lower level has en-
countered water. At so fet the drifts
are ON top of an ore shoot which is now
80 feet long and with both faces
in ore. Assays taken this week show
the ore to go around $50 and as soon as
arrangements are consummated for the
of a hoist and pupm SO that
the shoot ear be opened up at the 150-
foot level the property will be in a
position to stope a large quantity of
mill ore.

What is q modern king for If not to

He cannot govern. He dare not at

make d brave showing Of the virtues
and graces Of more primitive times
when he gets a chance he fails utterly.
The truth is that modern royalty Is

were two Of similar nature to that
