eeeding level.
To the west of the shaft where the
bulk of the development has been go.
ing on ore is being broken on three
different levels-the third, fifth and
sixth. The third level is only in 80
feet, while the two lower levels are
both in about 200 feet. The ground
clear through to the surface is virgin.
The ore will average close to three feet
in width, while present values range
from $40 to $75 a ton. Tuesday the
general average from all the workings
was better than $50.
At the same time a south crosscut
has been run from the bottom of the
Fraction so feet to the Searchlight
vein, which in turn has been drifted
to the east for a distance of ITO
feet. 1t is estimated that it will re-
80 feet more of driving before
the fault is passed and the pay ore en-.
countered. This south crosscut has
also been continued on beyond the
Searchlight vein for 90 odd feet, to-
the l. X. l.. Big results are
anticipated in this direction, for the
|. X. l.. is credited with being the
lode of the entire estate.
At the mill 80 tons are being handled
laily, amalgamation, concentration and
direct cyaniding being employed. A
very close saving is effected, the last
checking up showing but so cents in

On top of a showing of ore neve
equaled in the history of the property
the Homestead has just cut four fee
of high-grade east of the fault on tn,
600-foot level of the Fraction shaft
says the Searchlight Bulletin.
From wall to wall the ore will aver
age from four to five per cent copper,
20 per cent lead and $40 in gold. The
ore itself is beautiful to behold and in
the face of the two drifts shows all
the colors of the rainbow. 1t is cop
per stained; it is heavily oxidized; it is
streahed and splattered with ribbons
and chunks of giittering lead. Yellow
lead crystals, from blood red to dull
black iron stains, copper in all its vary
ing hues, all combine to make a most
beautiful and b~ewildering color effect.
This new ore was only found after
a crosscut had been driven 1l2 feet to
the northeast. According to an I'M
derground survey it should have been
cut some 80 or 40 feet sooner, a con-
dition which kept the management on
pins and needles during the last week
preceding the strike.
The Importance of the strike can
not be overestimated as regards its
bearing on the future of the property.
Cleaving the country in a north
westerly and southeasterly direction is
a giant fault. This fault and its in
~fiuence on the ore shoots was a riddle
to all former operators, and it remain
ed for Foreman X. s. Morrison to work
out the solution. 1t was Mr.. Morri
sons advice that brought success to
the Gift leasers-a success which mark
ed the first step in proving up his
theory.
Today the fault has no terrors for
the management, for if it is encount-

LEASERS BEGIN SHIPPING
FROM OLD PALMICO MINE

For about two years the old Pal
inico mine and mill, ten miles south
of Hawthorne, have remained idle. Just
why work was stopped there the public
was never informed, though the gen
eral belief is that it was not for lack
of pay ore. This opinion was strength
ened last week, when a trial shipment,
extracted by people who have recently
obtained a lease on a block of ground
opened up by the old workings, sen
to the mill here at Hawthorne, netted
better than $50 a ton. A few years
since the Palmico was the gold pro-
ducing sensation of the state, being
credited with several million dollars.
From it's veins some of the richest
ore ever found in Nevada was taken,
and much Of it, too.
10 secure WatcI u NhO ""'
iron pipe line fourteen miles in length
was put down, through which pure
spring water from up Cottonwood can
yon, in the range to the west, still
flows. Its present principal use is to
water a flock of sheep that range on
the ~safebrush plains between the two
ranges-land, by the way, that could
be made to produce large crops II this
water could be used to irrigate it.
A number of %prospectors are now
in the district and several promising
finds of free gold ore have been re
ported during the past two weeks. Thu
fact, in connection with the encourag
ing results from the first shipment
made by the leasers on the Palmico
seem to indicate a general revival Of
activity in the district long dormant

WILL MAKE BIG DELAMAR
COMPANY SHOW ITS BOOKS

As the result of a recent visit to
Salt Lake City made by James +.
Haley, state bullion tax collector, and
w. b. Ligon, state auditor, there is
likely to follow developments Of more
than passing interest to the readers Of
mining news in Nevada.
The Nevada officials spent q day or
two in the Utah capital for the pur-
pose of looking over the books of the
Bamberger-D elamar Mining company,
the property of which is located at
Delamar, New, and whose Offices are
at Delamar, Salt Lake City and New
York. The most interesting of these
developments would, should it come to
pass, consist of the levying of an arbi-
trary assessment against the mining
company for the purpose of compelling
the company to produce it's books in
court and prove by them the injustice
of an assessment.
Arbitrary assessments, by the way,
are not levied with the idea of their
being paid. On the other hand, the
assessment is made excessive for the
sole purpose of forcing the person or
corporation assessed to prove in court
why the assessment should not be
paid. 1t is the proving of this that
gives the other party to the action the
opportunity to acquire an intimate
knowledge of the company's books.
1t is a more intimate knowledge of
the books Of the Bamberger-D elamar
Mining company that the state Of Ne
vada desires. In other words the state

WABUSKA COPPER MINE
AT YERINGTON Is GREAT

Yerington, New, June 1.-The Wa
buska Copper mine is now to be classed
with the big mines of the Yerington
district. The development on the 500
foot level is showing this property 20
be a whale. The south drift is in a
full breast of ore. The crosscut is into
ore for 80 fet. The general copper
content is better than 3 per cent for
the whole distance. Drifting is being
continued in the ore. Every foot Of
work is showing the ore body to be i'm
proving in content as well as size. The
development of this very large ore
body, located as it is in the north end
of the district, means that the district
is something immense in length and
width and much larger than originally
supposed to be. Those holding stock
in the Wabuska a-e to be congratulated.
The property is actually demonstrated
as a very big mine comparing most
favorably with the Nevada Douglas,
Bluestone and Mason Valley mines.
The property is to be equipped with
a large compressor, larger hoist, pump,
ore bins, etc. for more rapid develop
ment and a big production. Being an
ideal fuxing ore, large dividends are
assured the fortunate stockholders.
It is the intention Of this company
to build a smelter for the reduction 81
it's own ore. Plans are now being form
ed for this important factor. Eighteen
months should see this in operation
turning out a big tonnage of copper.

is not satisfied with the amount of
bullion tax paid by the Delamar com
pany. In this connection it is asserted
that the company has never become
enthusiastic over the Nevada officials
inquisitiveness to delve into its
books.
Of late there has been much comment
relating to the bullion tax paid into
the county of Lincoln by the BAN
berger-Delamar company and it was as
as a result of this comment that Bullion
Tax Collector Haley and State Auditor
Ligon stopped in Salt Lake a few days
ago when they were returning from
Phoebe. 1t is said that upon examina-
tion of the books by these officials it
was fonud the company had charged
against the accounts of extrae5i IN,
transportation and reduction such
items as Office expense and improve
ment, the charging of which are in 10
lation of the Nevada law.
The amount due the state on bullion
tax, should it be possible to prove the
charges alleged, Is not stated other
than that it won't be figured in thou
sands.
A matter of this kind came up Re.
Gently when the state levied an arbi-
trary assessment against the Silver
Peak Mining company at Blair, New,
assessment being levied in the amount
of $1,25O,OOO. The matter attracted
considerable interest and attention at
the time and will probably continue to
do SO until it has been thoroughly
threshed out.
