RESULTS NOW IN ORE

JARBIDGE, New, June l4.--for
some days there have been rumors of

sociates-the latter being wealthy
citizens of Cincinnati, O. Mr.. Nelson
has been very close -mouthed, but on
Tuesday the writer went through the
tunnels and over the surface of the
strike rumors had very substantial
foundation in fact. The Arizona h

the north, also joining with the north.

Is oisected by Bonanza creek. Work
is being steadily prosecuted in two
tunnels. The upper one is in 80 feet,
but the wash is so deep here that
soEd formation has not yet been
reached. The lower tunnel is just
above the creek bed, where the vein
had been exposed by the action of
the waters. 1t is 1900 feet below the
No, 4 tunnel of the Success, and the
dump of the latter is in plain view.
Paintings Are Good.
1t is in this lower tunnel, now in
about $50 feet, that the strike was
made. From the time the ore was
first uncovered the values were very
encouraging, but in the last twenty
five or thirty feet the vein is shap-
ing up splendidly and the values are
much better. The ore is soft sugar
quartz, mixed with tale that greatly
nanza values in the Bowes- Kerwick
lease on the Jumbo mine at Goldfield
in its early days. Paintings from the
richer portion of the vein, made in
t writer's presence, would indicate
values ranging from $50 to 5000 per
ton in gold. A sample taken across
three and a half feet indicated val
ues between $50 and $50 a ton. The
ore here seems TO be of the Identical
character, and the gold just as free,
as in the Bluster and Success mines,
over thousand feet above.
Going up the mountainside TO the
Pick and Shovel and Success, in shall
low gulch which evidently marks the
course of the vein, one finds quantities
of rich float in boulders, some of which
weigh many tons. When broken, the
ore shows the characteristics of the
rich ore of the Jarbidge district and
sometimes free gold is visible to the
naked eye. The sharp corners ipdi-

Mr.. Nelson has recently obtained CON
troll OF the Pick and Shovel, which
could be worked nicely In connection
with the Arizona L. This combiua-
tion would give about 5000 feet along
the same vein system.
Another strike is reported on the Pan
claim, which is just west of the Ari-
zona L, and is owned by John Mac
Rae, jim Duncan and Malcolm Mac
Donald. In surface prospecting the
free gold in the pan, and the supposi-
tion is that, the gold comes from a
rich shoot in the vein below. A pros
pect tunnel was started some distance
away, and when about fifteen feet un-
der cover 1t opened up a strong fine
looking vein about seven feet in width
The values in this vein, as shown by
paintings in the last few days, are
very encouraging, though some feet
! further will have to be driven to get
under the rich surface dirt.
Miners Are Confident.
When the enthusiasm of the practi.
! cal miner woking for days pay in any
property grows steadily as develop
merit proceeds it IS always a good sign.
The men at the Flake say the mine is
getting better every day y-and say it
in way that leaves no doubt of their
sincerity. A drift to the north from
the fifty -three-foot point in the wiuze,
alongside the high grade streak, is
now out ten feet This drift is six
feet wide and is all in ore that, while
not sensational high grade, is yet more
than ordinarily good. Today the
crosscut to the hanging wall was
