GIVE PROMISE
OF BIG MINES
KEARNS AND BUCKH0RN CAMPS
SHOW RESULTS
MINING MEN DECLARE DISTRICT
WILL MAKE GOOD
Work on Properties Operated by Patsy
CLARK and George WingfieId Is
Being Pushed Rapidly
Forward

Tt Is generally conceded that work
outl, ed for this winter will open up
some rich properties in the Kearns and
Buckhorn camps, Eureka county Ne
vada, where Patsy Clark, the promi-
nent Spokane mining man, and George
Winfield of Goldheld fame tre oper-
ating.
William NJ. Hennessy. who is inter-
ested in that region, returned to Los
Angeles yesterday from his properties
and says development work is going
forward at a rapid pace.
Kearns is out thirty miles by stage
from BeowaWe. on the Southern Pa
cific. and is an ideal location for mining
purposes.
'The Nevada Treasure Mining com
pany," says Mr.. Hennessy, is oper-
ating the large mine at Kearns. The
company is composed of Patsy Clark
and associates. and they are develop
ing by the tunnel system and expect
to tap a large vein at great depth,
possibly at 500 feet. The ores are
gold and the cynadie process for eX-
traction will be used.
"Development work win be prosecuted
without intermission during the win
ter months The vein on this property
is a contact between porphyry and
lime.
"The Buckhorn group comprises six
properties and the developments con
sist of three perpendicular shafts and
two tunnels. cutting into and across a
wonderful showing of gold porphyry
ore"
From latest report the camp of Buck
horn will prove to be big one. Gold
is something new in this country, as
heretofore it was mined for silver and
high grade copper

CRUISERS RETIRED;
BIG DEARTH OF MEN
NEW YORK PUT AWAY TO MAN
NEW BATTLESHIP
When South Carolina Is Launched
Probably the Crew of Some
other Ship VIII Be
Transferred

WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-The need
of the United States navy for more en-
listed men is shown by orders issued
today placing in reserve the armored
cruiser New York, which, only a few
months ago, was placed in commission
with the armoted cruiser squadron of
the Atlantic fleet after having been
completely rebuilt.
This order was given so that the
crew might be used in forming the COM
plement OF the new battleship Michi
gan, which is fitting out at the Phila-
delphla navy yard. The cruiser is now
at Hampton Roads and will go to the
Philadelphia yards, where she will be
laid up. 1t is expected the Michigan
viii go into commission at the navy
yards within the next week under COM
mand of Captain Nathaniel II. Usher,
former assistant to the chief of the
bureau of navigation.
The new battleship South Carolina,
which is also at Philadelphia fitting
out, will require a number of men for
her complement, and it is probable
some other vessel will have to be placed
in reserve in order that she may be
given a full crew.

NEW ORE DEVELOPS
IN SHATTUCK MINE
SULPHIDE BODY EXTENDS
TWENTY FEET
Monte cristo Becomes One of Richest
Properties in Sonora, Its Re-
turns Averaging $1,000
Month

DOUGLAS, Dec. IA new ore find
in apparently large level, carrying from
IA to II per cent quantity has been
made at the Shattuck Arizona mine.
More than twenty feet of sulphide ore
has been sunk through, with a winZe
from crosscuts all on the COO level. 1t
averages much the same as other ore
on that copper
The Winze was started with the in
tention of sinking to the 700 level also
to explore the extent of the ore body
in which the crosscut Is at that point.
The floor of the cut being in ore, this
condition has continued. Recently
twenty-five feet Of the same grade of
sulphide were encountered.
The particular Importance of this find
is that it is the first ore discovered be-
tween the 500 and 700 levels.
AS yet no notification has been re-
ceived by the local management as TO
what the future policy of the property
will be. 1t is hinted, rather broadly,
however, that there Is every likelihood
of the property resuming shipment
within short time.
C. H. Jones' manager of Duluth Moe
tezuma Copper company, is now en-
route to the Monte Cristo, which the
company owns, and which is rapidly
proving to be one of the richest mines
in proportion to the amount of ore
taken out in all Sonora.
Manager Jones brought a carload of
ore up from the mine a few days ago.
The carload, containing thirty-six tons,
averaged almost 700 ounces of silver to
the ton, with gold and lead values.
After making all deductions for smelt-
ing, zinc subtractions and transporta-
tion, the carload was worth to the COM
pany something over $11,000 The com
pany ships a carload of ore a month or
oftener, and the average Of all the cars
shipped to the Douglas smelter runs
around S11 900 a car.

WINGFIELo BUYS PROPERTY
IN NEW CAMP OF BUcKHoRN

GOLDFIFLD, Dec. 14-It Is unofil-
eiaIly reported that George Wingfeld
has purchased the interests of LOTUS
& Davis i'm the New camp Of Buckhorn.
In Eureka county, which promises To
become one of the greatest low grade
camps in the world. Mr.. Wingheld was
one of the earliest investors in the
new district and LOTUS & Davis sew
eral months ago acquired some eXten-
sive holdings adjoining the Wingtield
properties, and it is these claims that
Mr.. Wingfield has just purchased.
Immense bodies of low grade ore,
averaging $40 to S12 a ton, have been
opened in the big dixie that traverses
the country, its width being from fifty
to 200 feet. and it is pronounced one
of the most ideal cyanide propositions
in the state.
Recent geological Investigations have
demonstrated that the formation Is
latte, which has in the last few weeks
proved to be productive of remarkably
rich ore in Goldfeld, the great ore
bodies in the Clermont shaft workings
being in the latte, and other instances
of high grade ore bodies in the same
formation are found in the Mohawk on
the 6O0-foot level. Determination that
the formation at Buckhorn is latte
gives added interest to the possibilities
of that camp. 1t is the only district
outside of Goldfleld in which the latte
is known.
Mr. Wingfeld has a large force of
men engaged in development work on
his Buckhorn property, and Is opening
II up on a systematic and extensive
scale. Fred J. Siebert represents Mr..
Wingfield in the new camp.

SILVER LAKE MINE
DOES QUICK WORK
TUNNELS III FEET IN THIRTY
DAYS
At $3.50 a Foot Developments on the
Desert Compare with Any In Cali
fornIa, including Labors on
the Mother Lode

John L. Whitney, consulting engi-
neer for the Precious Metals Develop
ment company of Los Angeles, operat-
ing the Eaton property at Silver Lake,
San Bernardlno county, says that dur
ing November III feet of development
work was done in the tunnel now be-
ing driven on that property. Consid-
ering the formation and the fact that
water and supplies have to be hauled
for miles, this amount Of work. which
cost only $3.50 a foot, shows what
cheap work can be done on the desert
under systematic management
Four men were employed in driving
the tunnel III feet last month, making
a total of 555 feet. There yet remain
110 feet to connect the tunnel with the
vein,
At the bottom of a winze there were
taken by Mr.. Whitney assays running
$79 across a width of 5 feet. One
streak on the foot wall went $500.
The formation through which the
tunnel is being driven is gneiss and
porphyry. Water has to be hauled five
miles from springs on Indian creek and
supplies have to be hauled seventeen
miles from Silver Lake.

EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA is
RELIEVED BY LONG DR0UTH

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14-Swept by
a rain and windstorm which did dam
age to the amount of several thousand
dollars, the coal regions of eastern
Pennsylvania have been relieved of a
drouth which has been almost continu-
Gus for six months.
The damage done by the high wind
and driving rain was lost sight of in
comparison to the great benefit wrought
by the unusual downpour. During the
last sixty days thousands of miners
have been entirely idle or working on
less than half time because of the lack
of water at the mines. The mines Will
now resume.

RAILROAD MAY BUILD
IN UNION BASINS TO
REDUCE ORE FREIGHT

KINGMAN, Dec 14-It is quite with
in the probabilities that soon after the
first of the year a spur viii be built
from the main line of the Western
Railway of Arizona to Todd or Union
Basins The heavy tonnage of ore
from that section necessitates cheaper
hauling and only a spur from the main
line can give 1t to them. Nearly 1000
tons of ore a month is going out from
the Golconda mine alone, while the
other mines that are soon to resume
work will greatly increase this ton
mage. The matter is now up to the
officials of the road, the local depart
ment having recommended the building
of the spur.
