ROCHESTER, CLAIMS
BOUGHT BY RENO MEN

A deal was closed in this city yes
terday by which Edwin Ferris, G. l..
Ferris and l.. X. Gregory took over
the stock interests of w. Fl. Scott and
J. F. Healy in the Rochester Lincoln
Hill and Silver Mining company and
the Rochester st. Valentine Mining
company. The number of shares in
volved or the amount of the consid-
Grafton is not made public, but one of
the parties to the deal says that con
siderable cash payment was made.
Eastern capitalists are said to be
interested with the local men in the
deal. The Lincoln Hill company
owns the Lincoln claim on Lincoln
hill, which adjoins the Peerless, Su-
preme, Raven, Casey Jones and Abe
Lincoln No. 2.
The st. Valentine owns the Valen-
tine property on Independence hill.
1t is situated nea the Buck and
Charles and the Octopus mines. An
active campaign of development work
is planned for both properties in the
near future.-Reno Gazette.

GOLD CIRCLE NINE GOES
OVER TO NEW OWNERS

Advices contained in a private let
ter from Gold Circle, New, 35 miles
from Red House station on the
Southern Pacific and SIS miles from
the old camp of Golconda, are that
the Elko Prince sale is at last an
actually, says the Herald-Republi-
can.
For a time the property seemed
balancing OF a ragged edge between
owner and proposed buyer, but now
it is declared that the sale has gone
through and the property has passed
to the Elko Prince Developing COM
pany. 1t is said that the price was
between so cents and IS cents a
share. AS there is outstanding APP
~proximately 500, 00O shares this sets
the price in excess of 100000 ac-
cording to these reports.

Court Grants Rehearing

The state supreme court several
days ago granted a motion for a re-
hearing of the suit of Mrs. Amanda
Asden against James May, John No
Ian and the Golden Hotel company.
The cast attracted considerable at
tention in Reno several years ago
when Mrs. Asden obtained a judg-
ment in the district court for $500,
the amount of money she alleged her
husband drew from her personal
bank account and lost to May and
Nolan in a faro game. A motion
was made by the defendants to set
aside the judgment; her attorneys
failed to answer in the required time
and a default was entered against
her. On account of her ignorance
of the law and the laXity of her at
torneys, the higher court granted
Mrs. Asden's appeal for a rehearing.

CARBONATE ELY HAS
OPENED GOOD ORE

In the Carbonate Ely company's
property, situated in Sawmill canyon
east from the town of Lund, a good
showing of copper ore is being open
ed up that promises the making OF
a big mine in the old Ellison dis
trict. according to the Ely Expositor.
At the depth of forty-seven feet
in the shaft a cross-cut was run that
cut an orebody eight feet wide which
averages tie per cent copper. a
horse of lime was then found which
proved to be between two and three
feet wide and then the cross-cut
again entered ore. Last reports from
the mine stated hat the face had
been driven eight feet into the sec
ond orebody without finding the far
Their wall. This ore is said to go 10
per cen in copper and the indica-
tions are the ledge will prove quite
extensive.

BOND ON THE M'NAMARA
PLANT HAS BEEN GIVEN

Frank p. CaVanah, of Boise, Idaho,
has taken a bond and lease on che
mine and mill owned by Harry Mac
Namara, of Tonopah. This is located
at Athens, 81 miles east of Luning,
and has been operated for the better
part of a year with excellent results.
The mine is said to be developed to
an extent hat justifies the invest
ment OF $4,000 in improvements in
Guiding a hoist and engine that left
for the property this morning.
The bend holds good for n year,
or until February 1, 1915, but during
that time the buyer proposes to see
what can be lone in the way of de-
~veloping the full capacity of the mill
and mine. Mr.. Cayanah is confident
of the value of his investment, as he
is an experienced mining man, having
had properties all the way from Mon
tana to the heart of old Mexico and
is willing to stake his judgment
against the opinion of any other man
or set of men. When he signed up
for the Mcnamara he said he knew
what he was going into and realized
the potentialities Of the property that
has been handled in a small way.
A two-stamp Tetrault mill is stu
ated four miles from the mine and
one of the heavy costs has been the
transportation of ore from mine to
mill. This will be overcome very
soon by the building of a new road
which will enable the new company
to operate an auto truck.
Among other improvements Mr..
Cavanah proposes to lay a pipe line
to bring water to the mill and thus
reduce another expensive item of
treatment. The mill will be doubled
in capacity so as to treat ten tons a
day and a new gasoline engine of fif-
teen horsepower will be installed for
that purpose.-BOnanZa

SENSATIONAL NEW
GOLD FIND NEAR RAY
FROM PROJECTING LEDGE
IN TWO HOURS

RAY, Ariz., Feb. 20.-Another
sensation gold discovery in the new
ly opened district north of Ray has
beer made, according to the best re-
ports. Walking along the course of
the big ledge on his way from Ray
back to his camp at the scene of
the original strike, Walter Higgins
broke off a piece of the protruding
quartz with his single jack. After
reaching camp he pounded it out on
a rock with a hammer and then horn
spooned it. The result, it is stated,
was a teaspoonful of gold to less than
a tomato can full of rock pulp.
higgins returned to the ledge and
broke off more rock, and with every
piece came fresh disclosures of gold.
1t proved to be an ore shoot of great
richness on the hanging wall. There
was gold sprinkled all through the
quartz, giving the quartz a yellowish
appearance, and making n specu-
late on whether quartz or gold pre-
dominated. Specimens that would
run from $4,000 to $4,000 a ton
were picked up. Higgins put in two
hours breaking off ore with the sim
gle jack. In that time he piled up
a ton If ore which assayed $1,000 in
gold.
When specimens of the ore were
brought into Ray interest rose high
er thar ever.
Mining men derive hope that the
Ray gold is not mere surface f1o9.
from the fact that in the Higgins
discovery gold appears as a primary
metal. 1t is co-existent and indie
pendent of the sulphides. This, %
gether with the size of the ledge and
the general geological conditions sur
rounding the vein, lead to the hope
that the ore will go down.
But little work will be done on the
claims until the owners are able to
take care of the ore. Guards have
been set to protect the dumps against
high graders, who might in a single
night haul off ore of considerable
value on their burros. By common
consent the name Gold Creek has
been applied to the district. The
mineralized zone, thus far discover
ed, lies almost wholly on the south
side of the creek.
There are claims OF the north side
of the creeks, however, and just over
the first hill to the north lies the
vanadium property of John Tiliman.
1t also contains some lead. Tllima1,
likewise, has a claim at the mouth
of Gold creek, adjoining the Hercules
property. The next group OF four
claims, up the creek, is held by 80
Nettle and a Mr.. Rice, an engineer
on the Ray & ella Valley railroad,
An automobile road is being
built from Ray to the heart OF The
gold district.

SMALL PORTION COPPER
CANYON IN LITIGATION

The general public seems to be un-
der the impression that the whole of
Copper canyon is tied up by the in
junction obtained in the federal court
by the Glasgow-Western company
against the placer men. AS a mat
ter of fact there is but one whole
claim and a fraction, or to be exact
suit.
The balance of the ground, as
well as claims in nearby canyons, is
being worked, with good results. 1t
is estimated hat in the vicinity more
than 100 men are taking out gold.
The greatest production in the
canyon has been reported by Chris
~tiansen & Dahl. This firm has made
several shipments through the bank
ing house of A. ID. Lemaire & Sons,
the last. about two weeks ago, being
worth a trifle over $4S0O. The
gravel is very rich, $1,000 having
been washed out in one afternoon
and $500 in another half day.
Miners looking for days work are
advised to stay away from the camp,
as there are enough idle men on
the ground to handle all the extra
work for some time to come.
Ray & Matthews had a piece of
ground tied up by the injunction, but
yesterday secured an option on 20,
feet, which they will no doubt close

SENSATIONAL STRIKE
Of C|NNABAR ROCK

All previous finds of high-grade
cinnabar ore was discounted this
week by the discovery made on the
propertw of Pepper and Keough at
Cinnabar, nine miles east of Nina.
For some time past they have been
carrying on development work under
the personal supervision of Charles
Keough. The main work carried
forward has been the sinking of a
shaft to prove the deposits at depth.
The ledge was cut in the bottom of
the shaft. About three feet of ore
has been exposed, but as no cross
cutting has been done as yet the ex-
tent of the ledge has not been ascer-
tanned. OF the value of it there was
no question. 1t is undoubtedly the
richest cinnabar rock ever discov-
cred, a portion of the ledge giving
values of fifty and sixty per cen in
mercury content. This may seem to
many like an exaggeration, but every
statement can be verified by samples
or a visit to the property. Besides
this the shaft cut a vein of quartz
along this that returns values of "a
in gold and II ounces in silver. The
operations have been greatly ham
pered with by the deep snow and
bad weather. Work has been
started on the tunnel and the diff
ferent lodges exposed by surface out
crops and shallow cuts will be opened
work a thousand dollars worth OF ore
was extracted from the new strike
in the shaft.-Western Nevada

MORE SMALL MILLS FOR
SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT

Signal Peak of Seven Troughs, a
Salt Lake controlled mine. has al
ready begun preparations for the.
erection of a small mill in earlys
spring, according to John Cleghorn,
one of the principal owners. who is
in from Humboldt county, New,
where the went several weeks ago to
inspect his mining interests. With the
rev one at the Coalition this will
give the camp two new plans.
Mr.. Cleghorn said yesterday that
the vein of ore struck on the 800
level is holding out in a satisfactory
manner. 1t will average three feet
in width yet and samples from $15
to $40 a ton in gold for the whole
shoot of ore. This ore has now been
proven from the grass roots down to
the Long tunnel, a distance OF over
500 feet. Open cuts on he surface
showed good values; then the ore
shoot was cut by a 200-foot tunnel
and recently the lower tunnel tapped
the same orebody. Since then a 90
foot raise has been sent up on 1T
from the 500, showing ore all the
way. This shoot has been follow
ed as much as so feet along the
strike of the fissure vein. This has
practically proven sufficient ore to
well justify the building of a small
plant for its treatment.
Reports from the Coalition arc
that conditions continue favorable
on the 1000 tunnel. A few days ago
a new mill was started up; in fact,
it is still in the limbering up stages.
Ore is being lifted from the lower
levels.
The old Seven Troughs Mining is
still being worked by ~Ieasers to the
coo level. Operations in a small way
are moving in a number of other
groups of claims-Herald Republi-
