The San Francisco call., 1910-12-04

| by Poak and Chapman, the first having
been made several months ago and was
of a value of about $4,000. The lease
is now in excellent condition, and
as considerable machinery has just been
! installed the next cleanup should great
! ly surpass the two former ones. A
| good tonnage of high grade ore has
! been blocked out and can now be ex-
7 tracted with but little trouble. The
milling facilities in the northern camp
are excellent and several good sized
| fortunes are assured from the lease
nanza.
War Eagle Mill
| On November IL the Big Four Ieas-
War Eagle mill that is making a phe-
/ nomenal showing in the values that are
/ being turned from the plates. The run
began in the night of the 18th, and
| there has been taken from the plates
i an amount of amalgam that up to the
present writing has averaged 700
ounces per day. This is showing that
can hardly be equaled by any in the
! state.
There were 400 tons of ore on the
| dump when the mill run started, and
at the time the Post goes to press eight
/ days have elapsed and there are still
| so tons on the dump. The average re-
] turns from the milling have been 700
/
| gam is running 40 per cent in gold.
! This means that when the run is fin
| 1shed here there will have been taken
from the plates 700 ounces of amalgam.
| and the amalgam running 40 per cent
! gold will yield 2,S00 ounces, or. in round
| fgures. the magnificent sum of $4,000.

Silver Summit Deal
| Word comes to us from Chicago to
! the effect that parties with extensive
| financial hacking nRQOffafinR for
/ the purchase of the controlling inter-
/ est in the holdings of the Silver Sum
NIT mining company. In the event that
! the deal is consummated extensive op-
| erations will be inaugurated in the near
! future. The estate of the company is
| located about several miles west Of
1 of highly mineraIized ground with good
| comfortable quarters for the employees
A great deal OF work was done on the
| property about three years ago and ore
! of a sensational value was uncovered,
! but owing to the poor management of
! the officials who were in charge at that
| tangled in debt that it was forced to
| close down. Since then Q. E. Osgood
and associates of Chicago took over
! control and liquidated nearly, If not
/ quite all, of the outstanding liabilities.
! Should the present plans be carried out
| it will mean much to the mining indus
| try of Nina, as the mine is one of the
| nearest tributary to this place, and
| sufficient work in the past has been
done and high grade uncovered to
ment and thorough development the
| property can be made a big producer
of ore.-Western Nevada Miner.
Option on Carson Mine
Constantine Bros. and Matt, who
| have a bond and lease on the Carson
| mine at Mason Pass, from which they
which gave returns of a little better
! than $40 per ton, last week gave ten
+ day option on the property to Chicago
| parties. The latter are drifting at the
/ fifty foot level and if the ore body at
/ that point shows up as good as il
| did above, there is little doubt but

Rawhide Rich Ore
| Craig Catterson. who is in the livery
/ business and mining a Rawhide, re-
| ports a rich strike in a new mining
! district twelve miles from Schurz and
between that place and Rawhide.
The strike was made by Judd Terrill
/ and George Pollinger. who are part
| ners of Mr. Catterson. Only a little
work on the surface has been done so
/ far, but an assay which is believed TO
/ represent the average value of the ore.

The mineralized zone is apparently not

ore was obtained being the only likely

Mr.. Catterson reports that the mines
of Rawhide are looking good, but the
camp is quiet. He reports that the
Kearns No. | lease on the Queen is
shipping steadily to the Queen mill and
keeping 1t busy. The Black Eagle is
mine also. he says, but the values

Mason Valley Mines
o. ]. Mcconnell. the president of the
Mason Valley mines company, and Jules
Labarthe. the expert who is general

| tion of the mine as well as looking
over the work being done at the smell

This was the first visit of Mcconnell
| for some time, and he was thoroughly
pleased with the progress and develop
ment of the mine since he last saw il
1t is not only his opinion, but that of
practically every man who goes through
it, that the Mason Valley never looked
nearly as good in its history as 1t does
at present.
It is seldom indeed that any mine i'm

as does the Mason Valley: There has

been opened up.

the lower tunnel need not be decided
