Whole State-The Largest BODY
of Extremely High Grade Gold
Ore Ever Found in Nevada.
Goldville, in the Lynn mining dis
trict, 90 miles north of Carlin, has the
finest prospects of any mining camp in
the state at a similar stage of develop
ment, in the opinion of Attorney NJ.
B. Moore of Reno, who returned from a
trip OF inspection yesterday.
Just now there is tremendous excite
ment in Carlin over a great strike of
ore on the 100 foot level of the Free g.
Wire Gold Mining & Milling company.
L%ocators of claims were working
by lantern light at night following the
announcement of the strike Saturday.
Twenty-Five feet Of what is termed
ledge matter had been penetrated when
Mr.. Moore went down to the cross-cut
on the 100-foot level Sunday. Of this,
eight feet looked to be exceptionally
good ore to Mr.. Moore. Although he
saw no assays, some of the material
was PANIED and his judgment was
that it would run several hundred dol
lars to the ton.
A series of 20 or 80 assays made by
R. H. Officer g. Company of Salt Lake
City, shows values running close to
$1,000 a ton. They were brought to
Reno by J. h. Jones. Mr.. Jones is we'll
known as a mining man in Colorado.
He is interested in the Buster B group
and In placer holdings heal the Big Six,
or Free Sc Wire Gold property. He has
continued on to San Francisco.

Mr.. Moore has had an interest in the
Lynn district for several years., being
one of the first locators in the camp on
a grub stake entered into with Dan T.
Dempsey. Not much development
work has been done On the property in
which he is interested, although placer
mining for u couple of months each
spring as long as the water held out
Melted az much as S25 per day per man.
A shaft OF 80 feet has been sunk near
the end line of the claim and the ledge
has been opened up In places through
the property. Mr.. Moore is an old
friend of A. w. Arthur, manager of
the Free Sc Wire Gold properties.
"The district is tho most promising l

In addition to the great showing ON

ising adjoining districts Mt Swale

Richmond district. .,
Senator W. A. Massey is also inter,
ested in the Lynn distl let. He and as,
sociates owning property in what is
known a. the silver-lead belt have
nearly completed q road to the prop,
erty and have 500 tons of ore ready for
shipment. They are said to have an
exceptional showing. Their property is
known as the "Silver Top"
Travel into the district has suddenly
become very great. 1t is handled by
w. @. Owens of Carlin with two auto
cars. A third car, has been ordered.
George Arthur with a string of horses
and a Carlin livery also transport pas

Mr.. Jones advises any who go in al
