RICH PROPERTIES
IN GOLD CIRCLE

Leslie L. Savage, whose energy
and persistence is responsible for
the splendid development of the
rich Elko Prince mine in the Gold
Circle district, is in Winnemucca
en.route to San Francisco, says the
Humboldt Star.
Mr.. Savage when seen by a
representative of this paper stated
that he was On his way to the
coast to secure machinery for the
larger developments on the Elko
Prince. This is a complete hoist
ing and operating plant, including
an air compr essor.
In a modest way Mr.. Savage
said: THE Elko Prince is in ex-
cellent shape and since we struck
he lead with the cross cut tunnel
there has beea no let-up either in
our north and south drift of the
character of ore which is making
the Gold Circle district one of the
substantial and reliable mining
sections of the West. The drifts
extend 600 feet at adeptii of over
800 feet and for that entire length
we have an ore body which will
pay handsomely in the investment.
From the bottom of this drift
level we have sunk 100 feet and
every foot of this winze is in high
class ore. AS a whole the Elko
Prince is gratifying evidence of
the importance and rich oppor-
tunlty that the Gold Circle dis
trict offers to legitimate effort and
mining investments.
So far we have only developed
and blocked ore of great value.
In the near future We will mill
our ore and ship the higher grade"
When asked as to the calculable
features of the mine he gently
smiled and said: LET me assure
you We are satisfied and without
seeking any cooperation are car
rying on the big work of develop
ment and blocking the ore so as
to operate in due time the mine
upon large producing scale. At
present there is enough in sight to
justify the statement that the
Elko Prince is a mine with ore in
sight, Of such quantities as to
amply compensate, with a big
profit, any improvements in view
for the future and to establish
the durability of the Elko Prince
for years to come.
The Colorado Grandees likewise
are fine. Manager Howell, on the
100 foot-level, has drifted $50
feet and this entire drift is in $25
ore. At different points along the
Grandees this mine evidence is
patent and it is from all the de-
velopment so far made another
mine to he credited to the Gold
Circle.
The Rex is drifting on it's 22O-
foot level. 1t, too, has ore in
which the fullness of these drifts
return ali average value of $50 in
gold and silver to the ton. The
striking feature is the quantitive
bodies Of such biEh-class milling
ores now being proven.
The boys on the Queens and
Esmeraldas are taking pay ore
from those excellent properties.
The Eastern Star, the Stinson-
Bartlett Campbell property, is in
stalling machinery and as rich ore
as can be found in the state comes
from this property.
s;As q whole Gold Circle district
ism splendid shape with fine show
ings and demonstrations sufficiently
strong to take the district out of
the prophesy class and rank it as
one Of the mining districts of the
West with mines and 4 future CO.
equal with any Of the mine operat-
ing sections Of the country"
Leslie L. Savage has been one of
the faithful devotees of Gold Circle
and in the winning Of his success
