SEVEN TROUGHS
LIKE NATIONAL
High Grade Ore Identical;
Manager Friedman of
Coalition Talks.

Several weeks ago President Pei
ton of the National Mines company
was in Salt Lake exhibiting samples
as large as prizefighter's fist from
his wonderful gold mine These sam
pies would run several hundred
thousand dollars TO the ton. Yester
day General Manager L. A. Fried
man Of the Seven Troughs Coalition
Mining company was in town with
some samples as big as q quart cup,
one of which showed $447,G val
ues. If the samples from the two
properties. although several hundred
miles separate them, We're shaken up
in a sack, il would be a difficult thing
for a man unacquainted with the two
properties 10 make two piles of the
samples and not get the ore mixed.
Similarity Saves Men.
few weeks ago at Reno some
high-graders from National were
about to be sent over the road, when
a friend of the condemned happened
along and sprung the question of
similarity of the National and the
Seven Troughs ores. and by procuring
samples of the high grade from the
TrOughs. and showing its remarkable
similarity, the men were freed. on
cured their ore at Seven Troughs,
and not at National
Mr. Friedman says they are now
taking out 10 to 90 tons a day of ore
which averages about 500 to the ton,
from Coalition territory. Occasion
ally they encounter ruby silver.
Some Of the rich streaks show from
1000 TO 5000 ounces silver and one
to 20 ounces gold. Small streaks run
much higher
On a Big Scale.
ION the 3OO-foot level we have
opened up three feet of ore which
runs from SEQ to $780," said Mr.
Friedman. Recently one man
working on the 800 level took out
500 pounds of ore in a day which was
worth several thousand dollars. Occa-
siOnally we find $4,000 picture rock,
and at times seams which are two
thirds gold.
Il think the way the property
looks right now, that dividend day
should not be far off, and that some
day Seven TrOughs camp will have
some of the largest gold mines in the
world. Our company has already
spent 100000 in the past four years
Our payroll amounts to S12, 900 each
month now. We are blocking out a
great deal of ore. We have many
Slopes from level to level which we
have not yet touched. slopes which
have been only passed through and
proven on three sides. People do
not realize the true worth OF Seven
TrOughs.
Big English Syndicate.
The Darby ore Reduction COM
pany. which is operating the Flor
ence lease on the Seven TrOughs Min
ing company property. is securing
properties in the vicinity of its $685.
GOO Seton mill 1t has taken over
the Mazuma Hills, near the Seven
Troughs Coalition, a property which
from mere surface scratehings gave
up $4,000 This is an English syn
dictate and is operating a custom mill
1t is spending $3.50 before trying
TO extract any ores on this one prop
erty. Ii will have a 1,000-foot work
ing shaft from which it will cross
cut three large veins.
Last week this same company
took over the Badger Hill group,
which is close to the mill. This prop
erty has shown a little high grade.
l am told the company represents
thirty to forty million dollars.
Last week the Kindergarten was
fixing up patents TO some of its
property We have secured patent
on the water and are patenting the
balance of our claims
When all the present plans for
immediate development of properties
in and around Seven Troughs ma
ture, there will be about $50 men en-
plOyed in the camp
Lake on his way TO a business meet
ing in Chicago.
