CITY EMPLOYEES
Of SAN FRANCISCO
DEVELOP A MINE

The Gold Hill Nevada Gold Min
that is conducting legitimate opera
tons at Lone Mountain with the OBJ
ject of finding out the mineral value
of bunch of claims held in that
district. The stockholders are of San
Francisco and all are identified with
the police or fire departments, with
a few of their personal friends along
the water front taken in as a matter
of accommodation. The stockholders
committee which visits the property
once a year is now in Tonopah look
ing over the ground and making
themselves acquainted with the
values of other mines. Yesterday
four of the party went out in Ralph
Wardle's car to Lone Mountain and
returned last night. They are per-
fectly pleased with the outlook and
will continue to keep up their assess
ments In the belief that eventually
the company will be rewarded.
The names of the visiting stock
holders are President W. T. Moran,
of the police department, Manuel Sill

CORTLAND avenue, San Francisco;
Robert R. Riley, manager of the
Credit Cooperative service, San Fran

poral of the San Francisco police de-
partment Mr.. Anderson, an under
taker, and Dennis Brown, boss
stevedore.
The company has sunk shaft to
depth of 500 feet, where they are
getting some rich stringers yielding
$29.9S per ton. Three Waugh drills
are in operation and the surface
equipment is as good as can be found
anywhere in the southern country. as
it includes a first-class hoist, com.
pressor and gallows frame. The
stockholders are satisfied so long as
they know their money is going into
the ground, and they believe it will
be only short time before they find
ore in paying quantities.
The company has sunk from 29E
to AGO feet in the course of the veal
