CASSON WINS
A BONANZA


Il busy place this morning as his
window was filled with the richest
ore that has been exhibited in this
city The ore was brought in from
Rawhide by w. f.. CassOn from the
Grutt-Baloon Hill lease. About 20
pounds OF the ore was rOatsted by
, Mr.. Work, and to call it jewelry puts
it mildly, as every piece is simply
studded with silver and sold. Most
OF the ore comes from the winZe and
the new upraise that has been start
I'd. In the upraise there is about
fourteen inches OF the specimen ore
which is being sacked separately. AS
this is found on the l25 foot level
there is certainly a considerable ton
mage of this splendid character OF
material.
In speaking OF tho lease Mr.. Cas-
son stated that it exceeded his own
expectations. The winZe from the
125 foot level has been sunk 35 feet
WutIt tliclt IL a. NClll vi ulSh uNe
averaging l6 inches. This assays
from $500 to several thousand dollars
per ton. Ine south drift on the sta
ton Level mas been advanced to fifty
feet. Shipments from the two points
give an average value of the sample
OF $275 per ton. Mr.. Work took a
of hA nf htA
south drift three weeks ago when
he was at the property, "hlcn gave
an assay OF from $40 to $1,000 per
ton. This was across four foot
vein. Twenty-Five per cent OF the
values are in gold.
At the present time all attention is
shaft. This is a double compartment
affair with a man way, the property
being thoroughly equipped with hoist,
blower and suction Ventilator 1t Is
proposed to sink the shaft 90 feet be
Iore prosecuting to the ore. BY do
ing this Il station will be made and
AS the shaft is being sunk at the rate
Of feet per day it is figured that
in the next ten days lnat crOSScut-
ting for the ore will commence. One
engineer stated a few days ago that
when stopping begins the lease
will easily take ont ten thousand dol
lars day.
Probably the best proof ., the prop
erty is the fact of its snippinS ore.
Approximately one hundred tons OF
ore has been sent 10 the smclters III
the past thirty days. with nearly as
much ont and waiting treatment. In
the next thirty days when three lev
els will be worked, it will keep a
crew sacking and teams p,lsy to land
The ore at the railroad. A. the pres
rnt time the treasury has good sur
plus from shipments, and there is ore
enough in sight TO make dividends,
and the promoters are wearing 4
broad smile.
With all the good luck that the
Grutt Balloon Hill lease is blessed
with, there was another side OF the
story a few weeks ago. Mr.. CassOn
and Mr.. LOoney, who is acting as
general manager and superintendent
OF the property, stuck TO the proper
ty through all kinds OF adversely.
Less than six weeks ago the treasury
was down to two dollars and fifty
| cents. Casson and Looney went good
| for tht payment OF the men employed.
A few days after they made this
| the property has paid its way since.
During the early days the iease
Mr.. Fred urotefend, mining engi
neer Of note went over ,he ground
He advised to stick with it" and
stated that the biggest mine in the
camp would be uncovered. ii. r.
weeks on the ground. He made Mr.
Casson favorable rtpOrt on the
property in which he predicted the
uncovering OF ore. Every mining
man that has been under ground and
has had look at the treasure vein
declares that it is another Hayes
Monette and will give the lucky in
vestors many times their investment
A few Carson people have beer
fortunate enough to get some of the
stock, most OF it, however, being
sold in the southern states. AS Cas-
son and LOOney are devOting thei
personal attention to the property
the people can depend on good man
agement and no eXtravagant waste q
money.
