In view of the prevalence of the

NEVADA PROSPECT0R
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

R. M. Lesher, who attained much
publicity in Los Angeles recently be-
cause, as the newspapers there said,
he "strewed the streets with gold" is
a visitor in ElkO today. While Mr..
Lesher who is 81 years of age is not
throwing any coin or gold nuggets
to the fOur winds on the streets of
Elko, yet he is a mining man who
has been in Nevada SO long, and one
who has wrested SO much wealth
from the hills of Elko county, that
he almost forgets the days of his
youth back in Pennsylvania Deutsch-
land and the rolling ~greensward of
the boyhoOd days amid the Susque-
hanna dales.

samples of antimony ore, taken at
random from the group of claims in
which he OWNS a one-third interest
in the GOodhope mining district, this
county, Uncle Bob" dropped quiet.
ly into town Wednesday afternoon
to have his samples assayed and also
to lay in a few pounds of supplies.
He will return probably tonight or
Friday to the scene of operations not
far from T%uscarora.
Aside from the excellent prospects
he tells of on his property, he
brings the information that a cyan
ide plant will be added to the $45,-
600 concentrating mill now in oper
alton at Goodhope, which will be en-
tirely remOdeled.
Mr.. Lesher's interest is cojoint in
a group of eleven claims with two
partners-John e. Phillips of Los
Angeles and Michael Finnerty of
Denver, Lesher being the resident
working partner. They have ore
there. he says, that assays as high as
100000 as shown by certificate he
carries with him. While this is a
great showing, not much work has
been done and the depth is not great
but the company intends to sink at
once.
Uncle Bob" is also interested in
the Diagonal group of four claims
in the Goodhope district.
But what is taking his time now
perhaps mOre than any other one
thing is a homestead and stock
ranch at Goodhope, on which he
vows he will live out his remaining
days-not forgetting the mines
and where he expects to rest in COM
fort during the evening of his active
life.-Elko Free Press.

P|TTSBURG LIBERTY
PROPERTY IS SOLD

At a meeting of creditors of the
bankrupt Pittsburgh-Liberty Min
ing company of Masonic at Carson
City on Saturday, the referee in
bankruptcy approved a proposition
of the Stall brothers to take over the
property On a lease and bond for
$4,000, $4,000 10 be paid in ten
months and the remainder in eigh-
put men at work Immediately and
do at least $50 shifts of work a
month. They also are to put the
mill into good shape and have the
privilege of milling all the ores
they wish during the life of the
bond.
Several Reno people are interest
ed in the deal. B. A. Phelps of go
Holcomb avenue interested the
Stalls in the proposition. Some of
those at the hearing were NJ. d.
Fairchild, representing the Nixon
and Carson Valley banks; l.. D.
Campbell of Winnemucca, Sam
Platt, George Sanford, trustee, Jas.
l.. Finch, Judge Parker, Peter Nell
o and Mrs. Phillips, whose hus-
band was interested in the property
when an offer of half a million for
it was refused. She also made an
offer to take over the property on
a bond and lease.
The Pittsburg-Liberty produced
between 100000 and $500, 900
above the 1O0-foot level, when the
vein faulted, after a large mill had
been built at considerable expense.
The property has been idle for sew
eral years.-GaZette.

ON LOW-GRADE ORE

The Sheep-Rock Mining & Mill

is located in Beaver county, is push

agement is confident of blocking
out q large low-grade ore body.
There has recently been shipped to
Salt Lake a bar of gold-silver bull
lion from the small mining plant,
precipitate from the cyanide plant
and some high-grade ore. There
has also been opened up a placer
deposit in the vicinity of North
creek from which shipment has
been sen out.
At present there are twelve men
employed on the property. The
work is confined to extending the
various levels between the 100 and
3O0-foot levels. Considerable high
grade r has been shipped from
the property in the past, but the
work was confined mainly to look
ing for the higher-grade product,
and but little attention was paid to
the low-grade deposits.
1t is the intention of the present
scheme of developm' mt to open up
a large body of the low-grade ore
in order that the mill may be kept
in continuous operation throughout
the year.
The returns from the placer de-
posits are gratifying to the manage
ment. This new source of gold will
be developed and from the pros
pecting done in vicinity of North
creek, where the placer is located,
the management is of the opinion
that this source will add consider
ably to the revenue.-Salt Lake

Suddenly theer appeared before

thicket. He also had taken the
roundabout way and after posting
the German battery, had at once
started on a new hunt for informa-
ton.
Il rushed upon him and he gave
a start of surprise; then his greasy
hand went to his eyes in the gesture
of wiping away tears.

produced a greasy bunch with here

there the clever imitation of an Of
