Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1911-08-09

The strike of wonderfully rich
gold ore on claims owned by S. l..
Baker and A. NJ Phillips at the
camp of Dyke, situated in the Pine
Forest range, and about ten miles
west of Quinn River crossing, has
aroused considerable public attention
and many prospectors and mining
men are going into that district
says the Humboldt Star. This camp
has always been very attractive for
prospectors on account of the many
outcrops of lodges and the large
amount of feat that is scattered
over the hills and invariably car
rying good values in gold How
ever the discovery Of ore on the
Baker & Phillips holdings that as
says $26,O77.S4 in gold to the ton
las given renewed interest in the
camp and that section is in line for
big mining movement.
S. H. Baker, the principal owner
in the property on which the big
strike was made. arrived from the
camp Friday afternoon and corrobo-
rates what has been said about the
wonderful showing
He states that the strike was
made on what is known as the Vel
lew Dog claim and that the first
round of holes that were set off
blasted out at least $1,000 worth Of
ore, the most Of the rich rock b.
ing scattered by the blast over the
mountain side. At first it was
thought that a great deal of I
metal contents of the ore was
copper sullIhide, but tests made al
Winnemucca, Salt Lake City ant
Chicago have proved the metal con
tents of the ore to be mostly gold
with only a trace of the red metal
Since the discovery of the ricl
shoot Mr.. Baker says that a shat
has been sunk to fourteen feet OF
the lead and they have a consider
able quantity of this bonanza orr
which they are sacking for shipment
Mr.. Baker brought in larg
number of samp piles and there is n
mistake as to their richness, for tn
rock is fairly covered with particle
of gold.
