state of feverish excitement when the

Gold Bar claims, located at the
mouth of Lapping canyon, in the Mt.
Grant mining district. The assays
gave a return of ~$15,165.25 of which
only $7.S5 was silver. The sample
weighed about eleven pounds and
was taken from the ledge at a depth
of two feet. The ore is a brown
quartz, stained with iron. The ledge
is blind on the surface, but after
finding a quantity of float the loca-
tors started trenching and about a
week ago succeeded in cutting a vein
about sixteen inches wide that was

SIX TONS ORE
SHIPPED FROM
HoRNSILvER

A shipment of about six tons of
ore came in to Goldfeld with an
eight-horse team and trailer yester-
day from Hornsilver, from the prop
erty of Charles O'Daniels, where for
some time they have been busy pre-
pairing it. Some time ago it was
announced that this ground was
breaking into some very rich
ore, some of it containing values
high up into the pictures, with free
gold showing in specimens displayed
about the streets of this city. The
strike was made at a comparatively
shallow depth, and was followed
down for some distance. The high
values found near the surface where
specimen r was encountered, did
not go down. but the average is
quite sufficient to warrant treat
ment, and the initial shipment of
yesterday, which will probably BE
sampled at the Nevada Reduction
works, it is believed marks the be-
ginning of a regular output from
this property.
While the average of the ore
shipped yesterday is not as vet
known, 1t is believed that it viii
run around $500 per ton.

much the same as the rich ore of the
Pioneer, but carrying a much larger
proportion of free gold, while the
ordinarily rich ore is more andesiiic
and rhyolitic in character, ana is
interspersed with streaks of tale.
which are also rich in free gold.
Yesterday evening there was much

than any other property in camp"
j.. X. Bryan, the developer of the
Pioneer. after examining it Monday
stated that he had never before seer
anything SO very rich in the district
Yesterday John A. Nader, superin-
tendent of the Pioneer lease, and
Oscar j. Smith, president OF the Pho
neer Leasing company, examined the
rich ore body and panned scme of it,
and then gladly admitted it was SUI
perior TO anything else in the e.
trict.
The Rickard-Garberg lease has
been conducted on liberal lines, and
everything done to save time, labor
and expedite the development of ore.
Now the result Is that 1t is the sec
ond shipper in the camp, while its
payroll for last month is over
$4,000, it is money well expended, for
now a ven starts.
Since the rich strike last week the
ore has been sacked and there are
200 sacks of high grade ready for
shipment, and a few days more will
complete a carload.
While the rich strike occupies
much attention the general plan for
the development of the property Is
not neglected. The work in the
main shaft is continued, a station is
being cut and a drift will be started
from the 1876 foot point. and viii be
driven to get under the ore developed
above.
Magnifcently planned, the work
ings and the ground are making
