TOMBOY GROUP
COMING TO front

Jim Martin, who has been very
much like keyboard in finding and
working good prospects, is in Winnie
mucca enjoying himself for the holi
days. He is from Buckskin National,
where opportunity mask is being re-
moved and where they are making the
big mines today that forecast bigger
fortunes than those gone into the
Golfers of the etons, Scottens and
other owners of the National mine.
The grlzzled miner and prospeetor
when seen at the Lafayette and Bud
today was vibrant with that spirit of
exultation which provokes enthusiasm
and the dare to make mines against
odds and disadvantages. Like all
the fortunate owners in the richly de-
veloping section, he was compelled to
endure a tedious and long journey in
order to reach the haven which now
assures fortune and fame for such
work and persistent faith. Against
odds men like Martin are mining
Hence when pressed by the Silver
State he, like a light running car
riage, expressed himself as follows
CAN one has to do to be satisfied
is to see the showings on Buckskin
National and other prospective de-
velopments. The proof of nature Is
rich gifts is there. Everything is
present to enforce prestige and min
ing leadership for Buckskin and Ma
tional during the coming year.
"The Senator Bell property is a
great evidence of the liberal wealth
offered for those who will work. The
property is opened to hundreds of feet
of depth by tunnels, drifts and wines,
and wherever the rich vein is expos
Ell it shows through drifts, wines and
upraises an abundance of ore both
high grade stuff that goes over $40
pound, and rich milling ore, ore aver
aging close to 800 per ton. The
showing is simply great and it is 40
imagination to say that hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of ore are
in sight. The deeper working is by
WINE from lower level. Here the
vein is stronger and as a whole richer
than close to the surface. Unques
tionably the Buckskin National is
the premier evidence of the National
section today, and is just beginning
to be scratched
"Other properties like the Never
sweat group are in the limelight and
promise q great forward aim in Ma
tional development.
81 am interested with Sam Flynn
and Others in the Tom Boy group of
claims. This group lies half way be-
tween the National mine and the Bell
property II is ON the trend and be-
longs to that part of the fault which
so terriffieally tossed and bust q
those great mountains and through
the cracks and veins thus caused the
rich golden solutions forced them
selves, deposited tn ewealth of gold
50 firmly demonstrated in the Nation
al and Bell mines.
''For years T have increasingly and
practically alone done development
work. For such toll / and my part
ners are on the threshold of realizing
full gain.
"The property is opened by three
tunnels. Two cut the big vein. The
vein at points of exposure assays
from So. $500 and up to $3,963.3I per
ton. The lattel is specially pie" :
and the $500 samples closely sorted.
But ar whole there is an assurance
of reward which will make me con
tinue exploration. We have the max
ing of a mine
"No. 3 tunnel has from my ealcu-
lation abont So feet to go befa >
the ledge cut IN ilIer tunnels is ca
eonutered. When cut we win have
about 800 feet backs. At present
am in a solid mass of quartz, which
gives a liberal display of ruby, and

erable of the rock pans. We are
emerging from the long struggle and
with so much evidence of mineral
wealth of the precious metals | antici
pate much when we will interseet the
big vein from which we get the bet
ter gold and silver values at the
greater depth.
cit is no. amiss to say here that
the Staunto1 Dunn iease block 1

National Buckskin district presents
the concrete evidence of great miner
al wealth. It's devepopment and ex
tldctloH Is Hot ihpidVtiNabiV anu -
those who will take advantage of this
early opportunity there is every reas
on why one is justified to prophesy an
era of prosperity and gain of wealth
worth the st .angest ambition of those
who are looking forward for the day
to come.
Buckskin is in the race and like
speedy, fleet-footed animal, wll
forge to the 'front.'
