CAMP OF AAYSTACK
NEEDS ONLY Cash
JOHN GEIGER is PLEASED AFTER
INSPECTING NEW GOLD
DISCOVERY

camp of Haystack, near Jungo, New,
is going to be a winner and that the
only thing needed is the presence of
a few men with capital enough to
carry forward development work on
an extensive scale, is the opinion of
John Geiger, a well-known mining
man and expert, who returned yes
terday from Inlay, New, after spend
ing ten days in the camp and vi
cinity.
Mr.. Geiger said the most of the OPP
orators and leasers we're men of small
means, but they were getting results
that held them to their claims and
the spirit of optimism prevails. There
are seventy-five men, four women,
five children and an unlimited num-
Der of dogs in the new camp, says
Mr.. Geiger, with more prospective in
vestors and practical miners constant
ly arriving.
Discussing developments in detail,
Mr.. Geiger said:
"The camp is in splendid condition
and all that it needs is the arrival
of a few experienced men with CAPT
tai to bring it rapidly to the front as
a gold producer. Even at the surface
the orebodies carry values to make
their handling largely profitable.
"Truett and Butler, who own the
May Day No. 2, have leased three
blocks of ground, each 800 feet
square, on this property to Mont
gomery & Douglas, Peter Anderson
and Patrick McGill. All of these
leasers are taking out ore running
from $40 to $16O a ton, and Mont
gomery & Douglas have ten tons of
rich ore on the dump. Samuel Wat
kins and r. D. Bolin are sinking on
the Averlook claim. They are down
only thirty feet and are sacking
$41OO ore. Graetz brothers, who are
leasing on the Wheatfield claim of
the Haystack Mines company, are
down only fifteen feet and are taking
out ore carrying about 5000 per ton
gold. The Haystack company has a
shaft down forty-five feet on the
G~rainfeld claim, and the workmen
pushing a drift to the northwest ex-
pect to strike a rich vein with any
shift. This company has just made
a shipment of one a of $50 ore to
the smelter at Hazen and has pur-
chased a five-stamp mill, which will
be installed at Johnson's ranch as
the most convenient point on account
of water and fuel.
John Murray of Rawhide, VINO is
operating on the Grainfield, has sent
in a shipment of twenty-five tons that
runs from $50 to $50. He is sinking
a shaft that he expects will cut five
leads of good ore. George Austin has
shipped one car of $35 ore from the
Grainfield. Philip Sorenson and Will
liam Neill, who are leasing on the
Wheatfield, in running an open cut
have exposed a ledge hat carries val
ues of from $40 to $500 and are en-
thusiastic over their prospects.
James Maxfield has bonned and
leased the Oatfield No. 1 to Messrs.
Smith and Merryfield. They have a
shaft down ten feet with six feet of
ore hat goes form So to $40. The
Haystack company is sinking on the
Frances claim, and. with little depth
so far attained, has from six to eight
feet of pay IRE Joseph Wilson and
George Kronenwetter are sinking on
the Jungo. I am not advised as to
the results. R. de Camp of Denver,
former superintendent of the Port
land mine at Cripple Creek, was in
camp while I was there, and after an
examination of the pres expressed the
conviction that they contained tel
luriium. Tests looking to a deter
mination of this will be made soon.
1--WE are continuing development
of the Grandma group, owned by
myself and Mr.. Teirnan, and getting
very satisfactory values, about $40
ore, considering the depth so far
reached. I am confident that the
camp will be an active and large pro-
Queer"

the Antelope mine, a silver-lead-zinc
property located near Haysrack and
operated by Mr.. Geiger, came in with
him for a brief vacation.-Salt Lake
