Two FEET OF $3ll ORE
In The DIAMOND QUEEN

Two feet of ore that gives an aver
age assay of $31l.2O in gold per ton
was opened yesterday in the Hargrove
& Bell lease on the Diamondfeld Queen
at Fluorine, in the Bullfrog district.
The ore was encountered in the drift
from the bottom of the shaft at a depth
of 100 feet, and indicates that prob
ably a better ore body than the leasers
have yet had is making its appear
ance. Associated with this new strike
is a good body of lower grade material,
numerous shipments from which have
netted from $50 to 800 per ton.
The Diamond Queen ore is highly
oxidized, and as a general rule gives
but little outward indication of its
real values, which are frequently sur
prising as shown by fire assay. About
$4,000 has been shipped from the
Diamond Queen during the last few
months, the average value per ton be
ing about SIS in gold. The company
is now working a small force Of men,
in addition to the development that is
being done by leasers.

RICH SIXTEEN ORE
Is CRUSHED AND SHIPPED

NEVADA CITY, Nov. 1.-THE
greatest crushing of gold ore ever made
in California has just been finished
here. 1t was in progress for two days
and nearly 100000 worth of amalgam
was secured. Last night, the last of
the specimen ore from, the Sixteen to-
One mine, which has lain in vaults of
a bank here for several months, was
crushed and reduced to amalgam at the
Oustomah mill, which had been work
ing on the rich stuff two days under
armed guard.
E. H. Wilson, manager of the mine,
when he brought the sixty sacks of ore
here for safe keeping, estimated their
value at 100000. 1t is stated that the
actual values secured were $50 in ex
cess Of hat amount.

TRIES TO saw
GEORGE NEWMAN In Two

Lou Peters, a laborer well known
about town, AID employed some time
ago by the Tonopah Lumber company,
is in jail and a formal charge OF as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm is being drawn up against hlm.
Incidentally George Newman, an EN-
ploye of the Tonopah Lumber con-
pany, formerly local manager OF the
Empire Lumber company, is confined
to his bed with severe bruises and
commissions, and a badly cut eyebaI, as
a result of an attack by Peters.
Some two weeks ago Peters and New
man had some trouble, it eliminating
in an attack upon Newman, who had
| Peters arrested for assault and battery.
Peters was given a short Jail term and
was released Tuesday afternoon. After
taking on a few "jolts'' of fire water,
it is alleged, he went to the yards ~
the Tonopah Lumber company, and a.
tackled Newman, threatening to XIII
him. The lumber company had . err
cular saw at work, driven by an electric
motor, for the purpose of saving mp
wood and refuse for kindling. This
machine was running, and Peters de-
clared his intention of throwing New
man on the saw, and tried to put his
threat into effect. During the melee,
and before help arrived for Newman,
the latter was badly bruised, and his
eye glasses broken, one of the pieces
of glass being driven into his eye, cars-
ing a painful and possibly very serious
injury.

On New Years day the San Fran

announcement was made and Horace

new paper, was felicitated upon his sue
cess in the difficult proposition of estab
fishing, in a great metropolis, a news
paper with a pail-in-advance c~ircula-

RANDOLPH IN SHAPE
FOR Big PRODUCTION

George Hunter came up from Gold
Mountain this morning and reports that
the Randolph property is looking fine
and is being put into shape for a large
production in the neal future. Immense
bodies of good ore have been opened by
drifts, crosscuts and the main shaft, and
the property has just been equipped
with a gasoline hosting plant to facili
tate further development and the ex-
traction of ore.
Thos. Hunter, chief bailiff of the
municipal court of Chicago, and Post
master Campbell of the same city, are
heavily interested i nthe property, and
are expected to come out from the East
within a short time to inspect theiI
holdings. The Randolph has a splendid
future before it and will be one of tbs

trict. James McCaw, one of the best
known mining men in the country, il

.CODD PLEASED With
GOLDFIELD'S Progress

A. A. Codd, president of the Codd
Mines company, returned to Reno last
Sunday after a visit to his properties
at Rawhide and Goldfeld. He was &C.
c%ompanied by V. +. Pellegrim of
R~eadsboro, VT, who is interested in the
Codd propositions. While in Goldfeld
they visited the Consolidated mill and
the big strike in the Clermont shaft
workings, and although Mr.. Codd has
had long experience in Goldfeld and
is pretty thoroughly familiar with the
progress of the camp, he expressed
great surprise at the greatness of the
developments in the Clermont work
ings, which he had inspected before.
Mr.. Codd reports that a fine showing
is being made on the st. Ives lease at
Rawhide. The shaft is down $50 feet,
and better progress is being made since
the air compressor was put in opera.
ton. A good streak of ore has been
opened in the st. Ives ground by a
drift from the Grutt- Balloon Hill lease,
there being nearly a foot of ore that
samples about 5000 a ton, and a small
streak that assays up to $4,000 in gold
and silver. There is also considerable
milling ore of a good grade. When the
main shaft reaches a depth of 500 feet,
a crosscut will be driven 200 feet to get
into the ore shoot at this depth. The
best of the ore now being found in the
drift from the Grutt-B Balloon Hill lease
at a depth of 135 feet is being sacked
for shipment.

WORK WILL BE RUSHED
ON BIG MILL AT AUSTIN

The company operating the Patriot
lease on one of the properties of the
Austin Manhattan company, is conf
dent that it will have more than enough
ore to keep busy the initial unit of the
big company mill when it is ready.
In this connection, it may be stated
that the Maricopa Mines company
which is operating the Patriot lease
has brought to Austin an equipment
that would do credit to any mining
company in the state. 1t is doubtful,
if in Goldfeld, during the widest days
of leasing p%lungers, there were any
that attacked a proposition that invit-
ed a greater concentration of mining
energy, mining skill, money and hustle,
than this Patriot lease here in Austin.
There were none moreover, that offered
surer returns upon the effort expended
than this same Patriot.
The local expenditures of the Mari
copa bunch for the past month has
been around So, 900. Since last May it
has averaged $500 a month to the
circulating medium of Austin. This is
to say nothing of the bills for machin-
cry that has been shipped into the
camp.
There are now en- route from Column
bus, Ohio, two gasoline power plants,
one of 100-h. p. for the compressor
plant, and one of 50h. p. for the hoist.
The steam plant on the ground has
been furnishing power for four hammer
drills and the pumps. Upon the arrival
Of the new machinery the 600-foot com
pressor will keep seven busy.

AUSTIN, New, Nov. 24.-Mr. Mills,
representative from the C. w. Merrill
metallurgical plant at San Francisco
has arrived in Austin for the purpose
Of making a complete survey and meas
urement Of the big mill here and with
General Manager w. w. Wishon, pre-.
mare plans and specifications for the
installation of the initial unit OF the
new milling process for the Austin Man
haitian company. All possible speed will
be made to early submit to different
machinery houses calls for bids on the
various kinds of equipment needed.
The first unit to be installed will
consist of ten stamps. Immediately
upon it's completion and after it has
been effectively tried out and proved,
a second unit for the remaining twenty
stamps will follow. This will give
Austin a 2O0-ton mill and before the
end of 1910, this will probably be
doubled to 400 tons.
Complementing this reduction plant
will be a sampler for such ores in this
district as may be offered for sale. The
sampler will go in with the 10-stamp
unit, so that if the ore offerings are 1r
excess of the immediate capacity OF
the mill, there will be a local market
for them just the same.
More than a sufficient ore supply for
the mill is guaranteed from the work
ings now active on the Panamint VEN,
On the Jack Pot, on the Hardy, and on
the Golden Eagle and Patriot leases.
The Mizpah dumps and the Mlzpah
ledge, which is an extension OF the
Golden Eagle, will also afford an i'm
mense tonnage of milling ore.
