SAYS NATIONAL IS
EXTENSIVE CAMP
EarmarkS of Many Big Mines
on 15-MiIe Porphyry
Belt.

Efforts are being made, according to
the Humboldt Star, to create the impress
sion abroad that rich ore showings of
the National gold district are confined TO
the famous Stall Brothers lease, which
for some time has been IN litigation. Con-
tending that several other properties in
the district have even better surface
showings than has the Charleston hill
bonanza, the Star says:
In all parts of the wonderful district,
which is traversed by pOTphyry belt
at least fifteen miles in length, are many
groupings of lodges that have the ear
marks of making big mines.
Extensive work is being done on the
Radiator group, at least a mile and
half from Charleston hill, on another vein
system, and the bonanza ore is being
uncovered which proves that the pro-
duCtlVe area extends q considerable dist
ance eastward in this big belt.
The Auto Hill property is another hold
ing that is rapidly being developed into
a producer. and this property lies a con-
siderable distance from Charleston hill.
On Three Mile creek, southeast of Ra-
diatOr hill, Lodges are being opened with
good ShOWingS Of ore.
The territory south Of Charleston hill
which is attracting great attention at
the present time has every indication of
being the richest part Of the district.
Strike on Bell Property.
From Paradise Valley comes the re-
port of a rich strike of ore on the prop
erty owned by Senator Bell, George Ward
and Ed Stauffer, on BuCkskin mountain.
Our informant states that the strike was
made in the long CrOsSCut tunnel that is
being run into the hill to intercept the
big ledge that OutCrOpS on the surface of
the property, and that AN eighteen-inCh
streak of ore that will run over $3.50
to the ton was disclosed u few days ago.
This property was located long before
the camp of National was established. and
there Is every evidence that q great mine
is there. All winter Messrs. AdelI and
McGeary, who have a lease on a por-
ton of the property, have been persist
emily driving q long tunnel to cut the
ledge that shows an OutcTOp twenty feet
wide on the surface and from which ore
has been taken that assayed over $50 to
the ton. It was i'm this tunnel that the
strike of $50 ore was made by the leas-
erS, and it Is estimated that at least fifty
feet is Vet to be run before they expect
TO encounter the main ledge.
Good Showing in Buckskin.
It was the story Of finding fabu!ously
rich float on the slope of BuCksxin noun
tain a number of years ago that induced
Bell, Ward &, Stauffer to locate property
there, and it is beginning TO look as if
they had established their stakes on the
right ground. The property is on the
east side Of the BuCkSkin peak, which is
the most prominent landmark in the great
camp OF NauOnal, and IS about three
miles south of Charleston hill. The noun
tain derives its name from the colOratiOn
of the formation, which is alternating
layers of pOrphyry, and has every indica-
ton of being the main intrusion of the
district.
Other properties located in the Buck
skin section Of the camp of National have
good shOwings Of ore, and with the open
ing of spring this part of the district will
be the scene Of great activity in the way
of DEVELOPMENT work
