rich SILVER-LEAD
ORE FOUND AT LODI

Having just cut at 200 feet depth
the vein In the Return mine, six miles
from Lodi in Nye county, from which
sensationally rich silver-gold ore has
been taken near the surface, the own

mean handsome profits. The ore is
to be shipped to the new smelter at
Lodi which is soon to be placed in
operation.
The rich pay streak, which is in a
assure in lime-porphyry formation is
from three inches to eighteen inches
wide. In it has been found wire gold,
wire silver, and chunks of silver as
large as a mans hand, more nearly
pure than Uncle Sans dollars. Big
chunks of this ore assay into the tens

generally are found in the graduated
white quartz. Over twenty tons OF
the high grade has been sacked.

QUEEN MILL AT RAWHIDE
TURNS OUT MUCH BULLION

RAWHIDE, August 3.-There were
nearly 5000 ounces of bullion shipped
from the Queen mill last week; all from
the 1863 tons of ore from the Phoenix
lease. A run of about the same size
is being made at the Klinker mill this
week, and they will melting

running on a shipment from the Mint

on ore from the Truett lease.

HISTORIC BELL GOES

best in Nevada. When it was cast the
citizens of this city and the members
of the fire company all Clipped in their
loose change. 1t is stated by old timers
that there is over one hundred dollars
worth of silver dollars in the makeup
of the metal. AS there is a variety of
metals in the composition used it is
likely that the junk man knew what he
was doing when he paid the fire boys
a hundred dollars for the cracked fire
alarm.
The old bell was cracked on one of
the coolest nights that Carson ever ex-
perienced. 1t was during the ringing
in of a New Year and the weather
bitter cold. In the enthusiasm the
strong arms of the boys hit the metal
too hard and it was cracked up one
side. With the passing of the bell it
takes the last remnant of the old Curry
Fire Company out of sight, as the fire
company is now a composite.-Carson

TONOPAH DISTRICT SLOWLY
INCREASING ITS PRODUCTION

TONOPAH, August 3.-The Tonopat
weekly production record is slowly
climbing upward, as will be seen by the
figures for the week ending July 30, dur
ing which the production of the big
silver camp was 1918 tons of ore, of 8
value of $1S0,500. OF this tonnage pro
duced and milled in the various mill:
of the camp the Tonopah Mining com
pany produced $3.50 tons, the Belmont
company 1850 tons, the Montana of
Tonopah 97S tons, the MacNamara 120
tons. the West End $50 tons, Tonopah
Extension $40 tons and the Midway so
tens.
The official report of the Tonopah
Mining company for the month of June
shows a net profit of $4,000 for the
mnrtt. The figures given in the annual
report of Superintendent Blackburn are
interesting, as they show that notwith-
standing the production of about 7OO,-
900 tons of ore from the mine, at the
time of the report there were more than
$4,000 tons in sight in excess of the
tonnage in sight a year before, which
shows that development work is max
ing a steady gain on extraction, in the
matter of blocking out ore. The new
veins that are now being explored, run
ming parallel to the former main veins
known as the Valley View, Silver Top
and Mizpah veins, are daily showing

important bodies are opened. The man

The Twin Falls (Idaho) News of
July Goth says: Sam Everhart
brought samples of very high grade ore
alto Twin Falls from the Vulcan ledge
Wednesday and stated that it is one of
the biggest strikes made in the entire
district.
He has been employed on the pros
p~ecting work which the Jarbidge-Vul-
can company was carrying on to deter
mine the most suspicious point at
which to open the ledge.
The ore, and also Everhart's expla-
nations, suggest that truly the fright
spot" for this undertaking has been
disclosed.
Gold glitters through samples from
this rich strike equally as plentifully
as it did on the surface rock furnish
ed by the Pick and Shovel bonanzas,
and in many respects the showing is
superior to the top-rock on the Pick
and Shovel ledge.
While assays have not peer secur-
ed, the very frequent recurrence of
the bright yellow metal throughout
the samples suggest they carry any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 per ton.
When Everhart left camp the strike
had not been made long enough for
the miners to say how large the rich
streak is; but the character of the ore
indicates that the entire mass from
which it came is permeated with high
grade and that as a whole it is good
for s25 to $35 per ton.
The point of discovery is on a line
dividing the Pick and Shovel claims

is found coursing through the proper

property lack of water prevents its
use.
The company has leased the small
mill located at Gold Center, but the
capacity of the mill is inadequate.
Shipping to the outside will be resort

had. While the general run of the ore
for milling varies from $25 to $50 per
