CHAFEY PLACERS MAY BE
FAMOUS AS QUARTZ VEINS

Chafey bids fair to become famous
not only by virtue of the large ore
bodies which are being developed in the
quartz veins throughout the district,
but also through extensive placer ap-
erations.
In the early days of Nevada millions
of dollars in placer gold were takea
from the gulches in the vicinity Of
Barber and Auburn canyons. Most of
this work was done by Cinnamon in a
very primitive way, and when they left
the deposits were generally supposed to
have been worked out. Such, however,
is far from being the case. Recent de;
velopments have shown that practically
all the gravel washed by the Chinese
lay close to the surface far above the
true bedrock, where, as is invariably
the case, the largest and richest pay
streak lies.
In Barber, Auburn, Dun Glen and
Lang Syne canyons shafts are being
sunk and tunnels driven by energetic
leasers and claim owners who have the
courage of their convictions and are
willing to, endure the hardships of out
door winter work that they may the
sooner reap the golden harvest from
their sluice xes.-Chafey News.

GOLD HILL MINE NOW
MILLING SURFACE ORE

"The Yellow Jacket Mining company
of Gold Hill is shipping 40 tons of ore
a day from the Hillside near the Crown
Point BRIDGE said a Comstock man in
Reno last night. "Twelve men are en-
gagged in this work. The ore is low
grade but can be worked with a good
profit. Double shifts are on the jo0
and a tramway is constructed from the
hill to the Yellow Jacket mill where the
ore is being shipped.
"This is the second undertaking of
the kind on the Comstock as the But
ters company ore of this kind from the
side of Mount Davidson for the past
eight months and has found it pays to
send everything dug out to the mill
without sampling.
The distance 1.-THE ore has to be
shipped in Virginia City is about three
miles and in Gold Hill the workings are
within a quarter Of a mile of the mill

w. Chase, who owns three claims
near Matches pass, came into town this
week with some extremely rich looking
samples of oxidizcd quartz which wat
taken from the ledge just disclosed in
the bottom of the shaft on the Sunrise
No. l claim. This ledge bears an aver
age value of $79.s1 across two feet just
below the hanging wall. while an addi-
tional three feet underneath this gives
the good milling returns of $22.65. Mr..
Chase is going to double his working
force by Monday and expects to begin
regular shipments Immediately there
after. The vein formation is very dis
tinct and geological conditions assure a
continuation Of the pay streak both in
size and mineral contents. Hence Nj.
Chase is 10Y formulating plans for a
small mill constructed after the modern
system of unit construction. This will
render future enlargement easy and
make economical milling as well as con-
tinuous mining a c~ontributary factor to
a steady output.-Chafey News.

HOSTS FOR

The old Montana hoist of fifteea-
horse power has been purchased by E.
s. Giles and associates, owners of the
Savage claims, and will be moved 20
that property at once. 1t is proposed
to sink a shaft on the property at once.
Surface indications are said to be very
reassuring. A considerable amount Of
prospect work has been already done.
The progress on the Gold Bullfrog IS
most satisfactory. The new hoist is IN
stalled and working like a charm. The
main work being done is at the 10
foot level, where a crosscut is being
driven for the ledge. The purpose OF
Mr.. Kimball, who is in charge, IS 90
thoroughly prospect that body at this
level before going any deeper in the
shaft. 1t will be some time before the
ledge will be reached Bullfrog Miner.

SHIPMENT OF JESSUP ORE
SHOWS SPLENDID VALUES

George Taylor, who is interested in
the Mackedon-T Taylor property at Jes-
sup, was transacting some important
business in Lovelock this week.
Mr.. Taylor recently returned from
Hazen, where he had gone to assist in
sampling the shipment of ore sent out
from his property. He states that the
ore run in excess of 800 per ton and
that the returns were entirely salts
factory. "The shipment was made for
a trial more than anything %else,' said
MI. Taylor, sTand we have demonstrate
ed that the product from our property
can be shipped at a handsome profit.
No effort has been made to do any
stopping and the consignment just sent
out accumulated from doing develop
ment work. However, enough work has
now been done to give us the assurance
that regular monthly shipments can be
sent out and this will be done.-Loye-

LEASES BLACK WARRIOR
OF SILVER PEAK COMPANY

Amongst the holdings of the Pitts
b~urg-Silver Peak G.. NJ. company is Il
group of claims known as the Black
Warrior. Several efforts have been
made in the past few months to secure
a lease on the premises, as it is segre-
gated from the main part of the com
pany's possessions. Some high grade
ore has been found on the property, but
it cannot be successfully treated in the
big mill as it is a refractory ore, but
Of a quality high enough to pay for
shipment to a smelter.
p. r. Myer this week secured a lease
on the whole of Black Warrior claim,
which is of small size, 300 by 600 feet.
Two men have been put at work pros
pecting the ground and it is probable
that a new shaft will be put down. A
shaft was sunk some years ago, but it
has become somewhat dilapidated and
unsafe for present uses. Mr.. Myers
states there is a quantity of ore ex-
posed in som of the workings, from
which he expects to obtain a carload
shipment within the next ten days. A
wagon road will be built to the railroad
track, about two miles distant, and is n
downhill grade from the mine.-Blair

TO CLEAN UP
$150,000 DURING THIS YEAR

The recent mild and spring-like
has enabled the Round Mountain Hy-
draulic company to get in several weeks
of work which under the ordinary freez-
ing conditions of winter weather would
have been impossible, says the Nugget.
One of the big nozzles has been in
stalled on the acreage of the Blue
Jacket, formerly the lease of Golden
and Garrecht from whom the Hydraulic
company sublet it. A good tonnage is
being put through every day and the
ground has been found to contain un-
usually rich values.
No returns have been announced as
yet from the cleanups that have thus
far been made but, estimating from the
amount Of concentrates PANIED from
the deposits left in the ~sluices, it is be-
lieved that this new ground is fully as
rich as that on the Great Western which
was worked last summer. 1t will be re-
membcred that as high as one THOUSAND
dollars a day was taken out during
some days last May and june from this
property
Preparations are in the making for
an active campaign for the season of
1909. 1t is expected that the weather
will be mild enough to begin operations
by the latter part of February or the
first Of March when advantage will be
taken Of the heavy spring flow of water
and it is expected the work will be con-
tinued well into the summer, or until
the water supply slackens to an extent
when the pressure becomes insufficient.
During the year just past, work was
carried on with a limited supply of
water owing to the fact that small pipes
were used to bring it on the ground and
1t was not until the latter past of Nav
that the larger mains were put into
operation, but Notwithstanding this.

COIE-RYAN CROWD MAY
BUY ELY CENTRAL MINE

F. s. Pheby received = telegram
Saturday from New York asking him t.
come there at oncc and he left on this
morning. 3 train. When seen on the car
by a representative of the Ely Exposi-
tor he stated he did not know just why
his presence was necessary there at this
time and refused to deny or confirm
the rumors that it was for the purpose
of completing the transfer Of the Ely
Central company to the Cole and Ryan
interests. He will be AWAY some weeks
and expects to visit all the larger cities
of the Atlantic coast.
In the minds of those who are IA
miliar with the principal properties IN
the district there is no doubt but what
the visit means the merging Of the Ely
Central with the Giroux and possibly
other properties into n big company
by the Cole and Ryan interests as tho
value Of the group is beyond question,
it having been thoroughly p~rospected
by numerous drill holes put down
around the outer edge of the group anil
also by the operations of other com
p~anies that have drilled the adjoining
claims.

j. J. Jones of this city reports that
on Tuesday morning the Heating Con
struetion company started the work Of
constructing the foundations for the
new 5O-ton mill which will be erected
at the Windfall mine, which is four
miles south Of Eureka, Eureka county,
Nevada, ut the mouth of Secret canyon.
The new mill will be thoroughly up-to-
date, and constructed especially for
handling the ore from the Windfall
mine which is in part a sand-line con-
| glomerate with spots Of hematite of
iron, and in part Of an almost pure
hematite character. Mr.. Jones leaves
Monday for Eureka, and will spend a
week or more there looking over the
property.
All reports are to the effect that the
old camp of Eureka has taken a new
lease on life and that it will again be
q heavy producer. The Eureka ore is
in demand by the smelters because it
carries a large quantity of fuxing ele-
ments. The average grade Of ore from
all the mines at Eureka which have
been developed to date is said to be $12
q ton in gold, silver and lead, and ear
rying an excess in iron of as high as
80 per cent. The Bingham smelter of
the American Smelling and Refining
company, 300 miles from Eureka,
charges $685. per ton for smelling this
ore, and the rate for hauling the ore to
the smelter is $2.75 per ton.
As the Richmond Eureka mine, which
is owned by the smelter, is mining at
a depth of 1900 feet, the permanence
of the ore bodies of the district at
depth seem to be fairly well proven,
and with the opening up of the many
new mines which are now in progress
Of development in that district, the
future Of Eureka as a producing dis
trict seems very bright indeed. A num-
Der of good mines are being developed
in Secret Canyon, at the mouth Of
which is the Windfall mine, and there
seems to be very much good territory
there, if it is in~telligently mined.

Messrs. Murray and Jessup, the original
discoveries of the Jessup district, un-
covered a ledge which from the present
showings gives every indication of sur
passing anything yet found in the dis
trict. The ledge lies next to a huge
porphyry dyke which shows very prom
inently and extends to and through the
Mary H. claim, owned by the Jessup
Mines company. The vein uncovered
shows a width OF fully three feet and
has an abundance of iron stained quartz.

GOLDFIELD MEN FINDING
VALUES AT SILVER BOW

Silver Bow, not to be outdone by her
sister camps on the Kawich range, has
come to the front with a strike of high
grade milling ore that goes to show
that Silver Bow has the ores that will
make that a camp that will be on the
map for many years to come on account
of it's many lodges of large size and
uniform high milling value. Messrs.
Halstead and Larsen of Goldfield, who
have a long term lease on the property
known as the Silver Bow Mizpah Min
ing company, owning the Jennie X.
claim in the heart Of the district, have
sunk a vertical shaft on the west side
of the vein, where it cropped to a depth
of 102 feet. They then ran an east
crosscut forty five feet. In the last ten
feet they cut through both walls, which
are well defined. An average sample
across the ten feet gave the following
result at the assay office in this city
and to say that they were both aston
ished and pleased when they received
the assay certificate would state it mild
ly. The returns were 55.7 ounces in
silver and .6S ounces in gold, a total OF
$41.45 per ton.
Assays on the vein, which showed i
width of three and a half feet at sur
face, went high in gold values. Picked
samples run well up into the thousands
and also carry high values in silver.
Nearly all the properties in the district
are showing up well with depth.-Tono-

HIGH A IL OPENED

Harry E. Tibbetts, vice president AMI
general manager for the Chafey Sunny
side Mines company, returned the frat
of this week from an inspection trip to
the property at Chafey. Mr.. Tibbetts
is highly pleased with his trip and
brings reports of greatly improved con
ditions on his ground.
In giving the report Of the opera
lions to a Lovelock Review representa-
tive, Mr.. Tibbetts said that the shaft
had reached a depth of fifty feet and
that the two shifts now working were
making excellent Roadway in sinking.
Between the two walls the ledge which
is being followed measures fully five
feet and the general average, barring
six inches lying next to the hanging
wall, showed an excellent grade of mill
ing ore. The six inch streak shows a
great deal of specimen ore and carries
gold to the tune of from $400 to $500.
Mr.. Tibbetts presented the Review Of
fee with a beautiful specimen from the
high grade streak. 1t is an ironstained
quartz and shows quite a little hematite
and throughout the whole piece the yell
low metal shows in profusion.

In the annual report of the Victorian

thus refers to the subject of cyanida-
ton: "The enormous quantity of tail
ings being treated by the cyanide pro-
cess confirms the wisdom Of the depart
ment in recommending the government
to purchase the patent rights of the

than 2l2 plants were at work on tail
ings, mostly from quartz crushed many
years ago; some have been erected, and
were treating the debris at old aban-
doned d~eep-lead mines, and a consider
able quantity Of gold was won from this
source. The total quantity recovered
in 1907 was 65,96l ounces, valued at
