VULCAN MINE NEAR BLAIR
GETS HIGH GRADE SILVER

Some ore, the value of which may be
classed as almost sensational, was dis
covered in the Vulcan during the week,
says the Blair Press. A sample was
tested and the result almost stunned
Foreman Hovworth. The metallic con
tents were given at $3.50 in gold and
.52 ounces in silver, making the value
CT a ton of the stuff about $500.
A large sample of the ore was broken
and brought to town. and is now on ex-
hibition in the Merchant Exchange.
The specimen shows the high grade
streak to be a foot or more in widthi
and gives indications OF permanency
and a considerable quantity.
Another shipment of possibly two

JACK POT STRIKE GIVES
EVIDENCE OF PERMANENCY

The strike of shipping ore ON the
Jack Pot is proving TO be one that Will
not soon peter out. On the contrary
there is every evidence that 1t will be
a mighty good payer, says the Austin
Reveille.
On both sides of the point where the
tunnel tapped the ledge, drifts have
been run and in each face there are
from Is inches to 2 feet of ore that will
run from $75 to 800 per ton. Mr..
Harris and his partners expect to make
a carload shipment some time next

Theodore Wyneken has returned
from a copper district seven miles
north of Thorne, where he has acquired
a number of claims which he mas been
working with his partner, w. A. koyne,
says the Tonopah Bonanza.
ssThe district is practically a new

'sand has only been opened up a short
time. On our property we have a uia-
Der of lodges four or five feet in width
and several of these are traceable on
the surface for over 1900 feet. We
have had several assays made which
brought returns from $l4 to $l2o a ton.
The largest return was from a piece OF
picked rock, but the ledge at the pres

MINING GROUND CONFLICT
SETTLED OUT OF COURT

What for some time had threatened
to be a costly dispute between Geo. d.
Kilborn of Reno and the Austin Man
haitian people of Chicago was happily
and amicably terminated here last week
in friendly conference, says the Austin
Reveille.
The conflicting opinion was over some
sixteen acres of valuable mineral
ground along the boundaries in the
center Of this district between the acre
age Of the respective parties. 1t in
eluded some from each of the following
claims: The Hillside, the Telegraph,
the Sunside and Eclipse.
The acreage Of Mr.. Kilborn and asso-
ciates is quite extensive and it is stated
that some time in the near future he
will proceed to actual development
work.

Mazuma, Seven Troughs District, Feb.
24.-The strike on the Reagan lease
on the estate of the Mazuma Hills Is
proving to be, not only the biggest
that was even known in the district.
but one of the most important that has
ever occurred in the state. Expert
miners who have been through tho
workings find nothing which to com
pare the strike with han the famous
showing of the Hayes and Monnette
lease on the Mohawk. To the outside
this may appear to be drawing the long
bow, but it was a long time before the
outsiders believed that there was such
a mine as the Mohawk.
The strike being at the 300 foot level
strates that the ore is going down AMI
that the values are increasing with
depth. The shoot so far as it has been
developed shows between two and three
feet of orc which will go from 5000
to $4,000 a ton, and in addition to this
there is a streak of high grade in the
blue tale that goes high into the thous-
ands of dollars in values. The find was
made in the north drift, the latter be-
ing out nearly 200 feet from the bottom
of the shaft. They are into the shoot
about 20 feet and they have begun al
upraiso, where il is expected that they
will get even greater values. AT the
800 level there are two veins, and they
are now prosecuting from the drift
for the second vein, where they expect
to open up a shoot equally as rich as
the other. Their expectations are
based upon what was encountered m
the l.Dpt. icVtIS.

quartz and every attempt made TO opel
up the ground at depth. AS this Tod,
of quartz lies below the daeitc forma
ton, developments viii be watche
with much interest.
Throughout the mine the usual de
vclopmcnt work continues and the
Slopes on the orc bodies are producing
!; good tonnage of ore, enough Icing
extracted to pay all expenses Of the
mine and leave profit enough TO de-
clare a monthly dividend OF one cent a
snare, a policy jcs; adopted by the di-
r%eetors, and which they hope to be able
to continue. Checks vii. be mailed to-
dav to stockholders of record for the
first dividend declared by the company,
which came as Il surprise to Its many
friends. While it was known that the
amount and quality of ore shipped FROM
week to week resulted in building up
the treasury to a healthy condition, I
was not generally known that the time
had arrived for the declaration of 4
dividend, hence il was doubly welcomed |.
The ore shipments for the past week
consisted of 200 tons to the Montana
mill and 80 tons to the Belmont mill.
Jim Butler.
There is nothing new to report from
the Jim Butler mine, operations being
still confined to the Slopes on the North
and South veins on the 100, 200 an |
intermediate levels, where a quantity
of ore carrying good milling values is
being extracted. 1t is expected that
Richard G.. Park, president of the com-
pany, will arrive in Tonopah between
row and the 1st of March, when the
plans for development work will lie
gene over, and operations started along
taat line from both the Wandering Boy
and Stone Cabin shafts. On the vari-
ous levels from both of these shafts
good bodies of ore have been partially
oJened up, and il is probable that the
new work mapped out will prospect
aud develop these veins, together with
.ie running of crosseuts to open u
ground, of which the company has
4 large acreage.
During the past fiscal year a great
lead of development work was accom-
rIishcd, and so much money was spent
along those lines in proportion to the
amount of ore extracted that the treas
ury was almost depleted Of money. For
the past four months practically no
work has been done in the mine be
yond stoping, which has resulted IN
iuilding up the treasury and placing
j. in a position to again take up cI-
t, nsive prospecting and development,
and it is thought activity along these
Ines will begin Immediately after tae
presidents visit. While there is =
great deal o. ore blocked out it is real
lied that the reserve will finally give
out unless the development of new ore
pace with the extraction.

Makes Rick

Makes Rick shipments
The Reagan lease has been the most
productive of any of the properties in
the Seven Troughs district. Before the
DAYS of the mills in the camp, there
were sent to the smelter from the
Reagan, among other shipments, w
carloads of ore, one of which wen.
81 1000 to the ton, and the other S1,0lo
a ton. These were the net returns from
the smeiter to the company. In the
face of such returns nothing III the
way of high grade that comes out Of the
Reagan would create any surprise in
the camp. The stamps in the mill of
the Mazuma Hills have been dropping
all week on the ore from the Reagan,
and this ore has been taken from the
new strike and from the other levels III
the mine and from the dumps. A con
servativc estimate of what it will
average is placed at 800 a ton.
All strangers are barred from the
mine fop the present by order Of the
management, and they are very secre,
tive as to the actual development. There
are reasons for this, and perhaps the
strongest of these is the fact that the
lease expires in July and the lessees
are anxious to get an extension. The
extension rests with the directors OF the
Mazuma Hills Mining company. IN
the meantime more men have been pat
to work in the lease and they are tax
ing out the ore as fast as it can be
handled, and the hins are being cleaned
as fas as the teams ear load and hapl
i. to the mill of the Mamma Hills.
Hunting Reagan Shoot
The Prior Chadbournc lease lying t.
the north of the Reagan would seem to
be in the path Of the new ore shoot OF
the latter. The shoot is now abont
100 feet from the line of the Prior
Chadbourne. In the Prior-C hadbourne
they have encountered rich ore IN thS
north drift at the $50 ievel, and they
are drifting south on the vein, bn'
have not vet come into the ore. Tina
they have the ore in the south is wei
known for they sunk an incline shat
to a depth of $50 feet before s%tartln;
the main workings, following the or
all the way down. They will get TIN
ore beyond a doubt, and they are ge'
ting closer to it every day. Meantlm
developments in the north show tina

New Pump in Place.

Things arc fast shaping themselves
at the l200-foot station of the Mizpli
shaft, where the big pump is to be IN
stalled. The Foundation has been com
pleted and the pump is being put IN
place, all of the machinery having been
.owcred down the shaft. The water
column which was placed in position last
week between the 1200-foot level and
the surface was this week tested und"r
a 620-pound pressure per square men
and everything found to be in first
class condition. Everything now looks
very favorable for the resumption OF
sinking by the first of March, when no
time will be lost in sending the shaft
down to the l500-foot point, and prof
ably deeper, much depending upon the
| character of the formation ~oncounterej.
The present flow of water amounts
to about II gallons a minute, and as
the capacity of the pump is 200 gal
Ions a minute, no trouble is expected
from that source. While the past week S
underground workings have not pro
duced anything startling, the general
condition of the mine is excellent, niue
of the new work lone having been IN
the nature of drifts which are follow
ing and opening up veins carrying good
values, thereby constantly adding lc
the tonnage in sight in the mine. Whilc
we do not state officially, we have II.
~hesitancy in saying that the mount OF
ore now exposed will compare very
favorably with that in sight a year ago
notwithstanding an extraction avaraS
ing 5000 tons a week.
Belmont Mine.
Very encouraging reports continue
to come from the Belmont mine, which
for some time past has shown up re
markably well. AS development worl

ever, and as the east and west Slopes

Tonopah Extension.

While operations are being carried on
steadily on the 400 and 770-foot levels,
vLere crosscuts are being sent out to
open up the ground and drifts run to
develop lodges already exposed, much
interest is conferred in the work going
on in the eastern end of their property
oh the 400-foot level, where an excel
lent body of ore is being opened up.
Some time ago the east drift was dis
continued, owing to the fact that the
face showed the vein somewhat broken
ana carrying low values, but the recent
disclosures made in Tonopah company $
ground on this same vein near the
Tonopah Extensions lines caused the
latter to again take up the work, which
has resulted in the opening up of an
excellent b. TX of ore. The raise which
was sent up and made connection with
