Mountain sphynx and the Round Mo-.
tain Fairview are both good prospect.
Each has a mill and has produeed -,
treated considerable ore, but the min,
are not large enough to enab,s :.
treatment of sufficient ore to Law nm
reserve. This summer the mills ara IN
for want of water, their aceussom.,
supply having failed the past thu.
months. This has been an exean,;..
ally dry summer in Nevada, and spr;,,.
and streams are dry that had NOT fail,
for years before. The Round Moun,.;.
Mining company is the only comn.,r
in Round Mountain that has enon..
water to operate. This company is No,
bothered. The water question has ha.,
a serious one with all other comn.,.
les. Even what water has been ava,
able has been tied up in litigation. b,
we understand there is a movement, N,
foot to combine all the interests !,
Round Mountain for the purpose of set.
Ting this vexing ploblem and giving all
the mines a supply.
G. l. G., Rhyolite-You ask if tvo
lode mining claims, located along the
strike of the same vein, can be based
upon a single discovery made at the
point where the vein crosses the com.
mon end line. This question has never
been authoritatively decided by thu
courts. The view of the land depart.
! ment and the best opinion of text writ.
ers on the subject, however, is that a
discovery must be viewed as an entire.
ty, and that a single discovery cannot
support two mining claims. Both claims
therefore, cannot be valid, but it NAV
have the right to elect upon which Of
the two claims to credit the discovery.
and that one of the claims must be up.
held. The safer method, however, is
for the locator to make an independent
discovery entirely within the limits Of
each claim. If either claim is void for
lack of discovery, the ground embraced
therein is, of course, open to location.
L. X. M, Kansas City, Mo.-The
Cherokee lease has had bad luck with
their ground. At the 540-f0ot point
they encountered milling values. With
the intention of prosecuting to the
ledge only a few feet way, they sank
about Is feet for a sump. Here the
ground began to cave and slide so that
it was found impossible to put in a sta
ton for a crosscut, and the shaft was
sunk 100 feet deeper and prosecuting
was begun. AS the ledge pitched away
from the shaft the leasers will have to
run a erosscut about 100 fee to get
under the ore, which was found above.
Because of the bad ground the shaft
had to be r~e-timbered for quite a dis
lance. But prosecuting is now Ia
progress at the 640-foot level and it IS
expecteu goou ORC VIII pc.iouh" ""n
the ledge is tapped.
T. B. c., Exeter.-We have not heard
for many months from the Denver-Bull'
frog Cooperative Mining company Of
Beatty, New, claiming to W the
"next best property in Nevada to the
Goldfeld Consolidated. We are
strongly of the belief that the com
pany has melted away or has sold ITS
claims to the "~Standard Oil company,
the Newhouse company or one OF the
several other 'tMillionaire Syndicates"
it claims were crazy to buy. The stun
put out in their prospectus is enough
to condemn the promoters if nothing
else was against them. Denver is the
worst place in the world for wild eats
there are more artists in the mining
bunco line in Denver than anywhere
else in the country.
T. L. p, Columbus. -The conditions
of the Grizzly Bear lease are much tne
same today as when We answered q
query in these columns a few weeks
ago. That answer was as follows: : lnc
Grizzly Bear lease is working rign'
along under good management. lac
shaft is now 6S5 feet deep and slhA
ing will continue 20 the 750-foot POM
whara n orosscut will he run to con
meet with Consolidated workings. luz
shaft went through two sections OF te
Clermont vein; the vein then fauiiea
and was picked up a third time. Nv
values have been had except 70 anu
