Old Harvard Mine
Among the old properties on the
mother lode which a combination of
money and brains has put into the
producing class is the Harvard. situ-
ated in jamestown. The Harvard, for
merly known as the Whisky Hill mine
was worked by an eastern company
discontinued, the members of the com
pany losing heart. That is, most of
them. But there We're two or three
who still had faith in the property, and
a proposition was made to take over
the mine. The purchasers had money
to spend and they also had the brains
to spend it properly. They took pos
session of the seeming failure in
March. 1906. w B. Buckminster of
Boston is the principal owner.
Difficulties and obstacles were sur
stalled and work prosecuted in a prac,,
tical manner. AS depth was attained
values increased until today the Har
ward is numbered among the great
mines of the state.
The Harvard mine employs 100 men
almost the year. round. The mill is

$50 tons of ore is crushed daily. The
greatest depth of the main shaft is
1900 feet, the lowest level being at
100 feet There are approximately
two miles of underground Workings
All practical miners are of the opin-
ion that depth is the most essential
feature of mother lode mining. and
this is demonstrated at the Harvard
The values increase with depth, and
on the lower levels picture rock" is
taken out. The sulphurets also In
crease in value and at present about
$50 tons monthly are shipped TO Selby
for treatment. The Harvard bids fair
to add to the wealth of the. country
and the reward of its owners for many
years to come.-Mother Lode Magnet

mine is installing large air compress
sor and as sobn as the necessary i'm
provementS are made the 40 stamp

and can be traced for about a mile in
length: A sample of the ore was as
sayed by an expert and ran $16 in gold
with trace of silver. Another sample
went a high as $40 in gold.
Ravnholdt interested Louis Nelson
and Peter Gustafson in. the proposition
and they have bonded the Davidson
ranch for one year and have an option
of buying it for $4,000. The ranch
railroad survey passes within a few
feet of where the shaft has been sunk
and the wagon road is also handy
They expect TO organize stock com
pany and sell enough stock to develop
the mine
Ravnholdt went to san Francisco

ues of gold and silver are heavy in the
vein. Relia Bile assays of the ore on
top showed $50 rock. The present ore
is still better but no figures have been
given out. Those who know claim
there is ledge of 80 feet of good value
now exposed.-Sierra Times.
