The third shipment OF ore from

showing nearly 5000 net returns in
gold TO the ton. II is a hard matter
to state when another consignment
VIII be forwarded as 1t is our inten-
ton TO sink the shaft deeper and de-
velop more extensively before any
more shipments are sent out. says the
Lovelock Review.
Just as soon as practicable a sub
stantial hoisting plant will be install
ed. An order Will be placed In 4
few days for the machinery and ey
erything will be done TO hasten the
Plant to Jessup, where 1t Will be In
stalled at once. The shaft which is
now 100 feet deep will be sunk to the
200 foot point from where a cross
cut will be run to the ore Snoot When
ing will again be resumed and con-
tinued to the 300-foot level. We ex.
pect TO encounter a digger shoot OF
ore and better values at the 200 and 1T
is more than likely that while develop
ment is In progress a shipment Will be
taken out
The showing in the Wine sunk
III drift from the 100-foot level is
extra good. There Is ore not only in
the wInze, but in a number OF small
er croSscuts and drifts, but owing TO
the extra work in raising the ore and
wheeling for the long distance, 1T has
been decided to sink deeper and raise
on the shoot
Mr. Taylor Is more than pleased
with the work being done throughout
the camp and says the properties now
under development are showing up
good.
In giving a general resume OF tho
district he said the Eureka group,
owned by Ratliff, Loose and Mack,
would enter the list of regular producs
ers. The shaft on this property has
been sunk to depth OF 100 feet and
at this point a station has been cut
preparatory TO commence STOPPING. a
car of ore will be taken out at once
and q trial shipment made. The ore
hody shows width of from one TO
four feet, most of which will ship
with very little sorting. The manage.
ment has announced that plans have
been made to install a hoist and it is
likely another sixty days Will sec
this property equipped With first
class plant, which Will enable them 10
develop on a much larger scale than
heretofore.
The Jessup Mines company started
it's new 15-horsepower hoist last Mon
day and the work of sinking to the
200-foot level is being hurried along
al A rapid rate
Ben Harris and Tom Frazier recelv-
ca their 6-horsepower prospect hoist
Monday evening and II was hauled to
the camp Wednesday, This plant Will
he installed on the Portland No. and
extensive development work carried
cut.
Tho White Canyon Mining company
has 15-horsepower hoist working
Mackedon development work is pro-
crossing rapidly. The smart is now
1l5 feet deep at which point vein mat
ter. showing free gold, was encounter
ed. II Is believed the ledge just be-
ing entered is the one which outcrops
Just north of the shaft anu which dips
toward the south. This company Will,
ii nothing unforeseen happens, continue
the shaft to the 200-foot point before
crosscuttng and drifting Is COM
mopced
Murray and Jessup are crosscuttlng
from the bottom OF the 40-foot shaft,
which was recently SUNK on their Jack
Pot claim. The crosscut Will be run
To- the contact where something IN
the sensational line is looked for.
1t is reported around the camp that
the Stewart Mining company Will
shortly resume work and that they
Will also install hoisting machinery.
This company has q. shaft 95 feet deep
and the ledges thus far show excellent
values.
Alr. Taylor said that Jessup had a
very bright outlook and that its des.
tiny as big gold producing district
was practically an assured fact
