WILLOW CREEK COMPANY

Charles Wilson, n of the original
promoters of the Willow Creek Gold
Mining company, returned from a
visit to the mines Saturday last.
bringing more than a hundred
pounds of specimens literally
sprinkled with free gold. Recently
the management let a contract for the
sinking of the winze to an additional
depth of $50 feet. and while squar-
ing up the workings the contractors
put in a round of shots which open
ed up a three-fOot lead of quartz
which is just about as rich as any
thing ever taken out of the mine. 1t
seems that the old workings had been
detected from the lead, after which
a large amount of dead work had
been done which cost the company
about $500. When Mr.. Wilson left
the camp the newly discovered lead
had been opened up for a depth OF
eleven feet. and vas proved to have
a width of three and a half feet.
Some of the specimens brought in

OPTION NOT RENEWED
ON THE LUCKY DEPOSIT

Leading stockholders of the Lucky
Deposit Mining company, whose hold
ings are at the old camp of Aurora,
White Pine county, Nevada, have de-
clined to renew the option which they
had given on the property and which
expired May 20. The company is
now preparing to resume deevlop-
ment work on the copper section of
the property. A gasoline engine has
been purchased of the F. C. Rich
mond Machinery company of this
city and this will be installed at
once to operate a pump and keep the
workings clear of the surface water
that has filled since the snow began
to melt.
A boat road half a mile long has
been constructed this spring from
the main wagon road to the mine,
and up this the engine and pump
will be dragged and placed in posi-
ton inside of two weeks. Develop
ment work as we'll as the extraction
of ore, will then go forward steadily
and the management expects to have
a a of rich copper ore ready for
shipment inside of sixty days. De-
velopment work is being prosecuted
on the lead-silver section of the COM
pany's domain with very satisfactory
results.
This property, while located in an
old camp. is very promising, so much

stockholders to decline the extension

RICH ORE IS FOUND IN
DELAWARE PROPERTY


After several years effort and an
outlay of considerable money, pros
pecting for the vein from which rich
float had been found on the estate of
the Nevada Delaware Mining COM
pany, located in the Delaware min
ing district, above seven miles west
of this city, the faith of the Sollen-
berger brothers seems to have been
justified by the recent discovery
opened on the property.
j. E. Sollenberger, general man
ager, arrived from Reno this morn
ing with the returns from assays
taken from the eighteen-inch streak
encountered at the bottom of the 12-
foot shaft about so feet northeast of
the old workings. 1.-THE returns are
indeed encouraging" said Mr.. Sol
lenberger, "and If the find goes down
We have a mine" Sample No. 1
across the ledge gave returns of $116
in gold with some copper; No. 2 went
$143, practically all gold, while the
third sample from another point on
the ledge, some distance from the
others, yielded returns of Is per
cent copper and 80 in gold.
THE vein is in solid formation,
whereas the punches of ore previous
ly found in the old workings were
considerably broken up. 1t is out in
tention to continue sinking on the
ledge to ascertain if it is likely to go
down, when we will start a drift
from the bottom of the main shaft
at a depth of 160 feet to cut the pay
shoot on that level" Mr.. Sollenber-
ger left for the property this morn
ing to arrange for further develop
ment.-Appeal.

ASBESTOS IS SURPRISE
OF MINERAL KINGDOM

Asbestos is one of. the great sur
prises in the mineral kingdom On
account of its finely ibrous, flexible,
incombustible character it is spun
into yarn and woven int cloth for
the clothing of firemen and foundry
men who are exposed to heat that
would burn ordinary clothing. 1t is
extensively used for theater curtains
and has saved many audiences from
the horrors of conflagration. A re-
port by J. s. Diller of the United
States geological survey, on the pro-
duction of asbestos in 1913, now in
States produces little raw asbestos,
it is the largest producer of objects
manufactured from asbestos. Can
ada is the heaviest producer of raw
asbestos, and more than half the
worlds supply is brought into h
United States from Canada and man
ufactured into various commercial
products.
In 1913 the United States pro-
duced LOO short tons. There were
two producers in Georgia, both fur
nishing asbestos of the amphibOle
type, and one in Arizona is just be-
ginning to produce chrysotile. The
difference between the two types is
merely in chemical composition.
A notable event of the year in the
asbestos industry of the United
States has been the opening of this
new locality in Arizona, about so
miles northeast of Globe, for the
high-grade c%hrysotile such as occurs
in the depths of the Grand Canyon.
In occurrence, origin, quality and
quantity this deposit is essentially
the same as hat of the Grand Can
yon district. but it is much more ac-
cessible, being in a canyon about SOO
feet deep and within 80 miles by
trail and wagon road from the rail-
way. 1t is associated with limestone
and in this respect is strongly con-
trasted with the asbestos of Canada,
which is found in serpentine rock,
derived from peridotite.
The remarkable fiber from Arizona
when twisted to a yarn 0.03 of an
inch in thickness will support an
average weight of 15k pounds. Its
content of iron is decidedly lower
than that of the Canadian fiber, and
for that reason it is better for in
sulating purposes. The survey report
OF asbestos contains a map and Sec
ton of the Arizona deposit. Copies
may be obtained free about June Is,
on application to the directors of the
geological survey, Washington, d. c.
Small sizes of anthracite coal, such I
as buckwheat and smaller, now sold
in competition with bituminous coal
and at prices below the actual cost of
production, may, in the opinion of E.
w. Parker, of the United States geo.
logical survey, become more valuable
as raw material for the briquet man
ufacturer. The output of these small
sizes produced by crushing large coal
to obtain the domestic grades exceeds
0 1000, 900 long tons annually, ex-
elusive of 5000, 900 to 10000 0
tons annually recovered from culm
banks by washeries.
