Correspondence in the last issue of
Mining and Scientific Press from New
York says:
A peculiar situation exists in New
York in regard to mining properties.
There is a demand for developed or
producing properties, but despite
some notable examples of mining sue
cesses, it is almost impossible to in
duce the eastern investor to become
interested in anything that has not al
ready shown itself a profit-earner. The
exploration company, which has been
so much of a progressive factor in
English mining interests, has never
appealed to American capital to any
thing like the extent that it should.
The field has been SO largely left to
a few concerns, that today when some
| western mining man comes 10 New
York for assistance in developing or
to sell claims, he is mystified to find
that after visiting one or two offices
he will find the details of his prop
erty ahead of him in any other quar-
ter hat he may present it. 1t is a
most familiar thing to hear them say
they had thought New York to be a
big city, only to find it apparently
smaller than the mining camp they
left behind them insofar as the
travelling of news is concerned, and
the number of people with whom it
might be possible to do business. Yet
everyone familiar with the situation
will say that real mines can be read
lily sold in New York.
AT the bottom of this state of at
fairs lies an undue degree of tim
idity. both on the part OF the public
and the engineers to whom they look
for guidance. This is the complaint
of the laymen, that there is no will
ingness to take the legitimate chance
which is necessarily a part of min
ing success. that the engineer should
not so greatly fear any penalty for
favoring development that promises
we'll, and should see that no good
possibility or probability gets by his
clients. rather than to fear that he
may lose prestige by recommending
expenditure that may not prove
profitable. Numerically, failures
must be greater than successes, and
it is to meet this condition and cover
this hazard that is the office of the
accumulated capital in the United

BUCKSK|N NATIONAL
STRIKES new SHOOT
ORE SHOWING FREE GOLD AND
RUBY SILVER FOUND IN
SOUTH DRIFT

Superintendent F. F. Bell and
Erling PrOut came in last evening
from the property of the Buckskin
National Gold Mining company. The
former stated that the showing in
the property is most satisfactory and
is improving as development pro-
crosses. Especial improvement is
tunnel level, now in over 500 feet.
The face of the drift is in high-grade
milling ore, showing free gold and
considerable ruby silver. The ore is
the best yet found in the south drift
and the strike means the opening OF
another shoot of ore which might
easily be classed as high-grade and
a consequent great addition to the
ore already developed in the prop
erty.
Arrangements have been made by
which Erling Prout will extend this
drift on into his lease on a claim adj
joining the Buckskin National on the
south. The company will receive the
DonoHI OIL the WOTk dnu
the ore extracted before the lease
block is reached, and Mr.. PrOut will
be enabled to develop his lease much
more quickly than by sinking on his
own ground.
On the Staunton-Dunn lease the
shaft has reached a depth OF eighty
feet. To sink further it will be neces-
sary to install a pump, and in the
meantime a crosscut has been started
to the ledge.
Superintendent Bell says that work
has been resumed in No. 1 tunnel
which is already in over 800 feet. II
will be extended about fifty feet fur,
Their, the objective point being the big
parallel ledge which lies to the west
ward of the high-grade vein upon
which all the development work foI
the past two years has been done.
The h~igh-grade mill has arrived
on the ground and will be installed
as soon as possible. -Humboldt Star

GOOD OPINION
OF HAySTACk CAMP
MINING MEN SAY DISTRICT HAS
FINE SHOWINGS AND MAX
ING GOOD

Tom De Almond, one of the sue
cessful men at Rawhide and Roches-
ter, through prospecting and mine de-
velopment, was in Winnemucca Sat
urday from Haystack. where he is
operating. He said:
The district is making good as a
fine milling camp and has shipping
ore. The many veins that have been
traced through the wide distribution
of gold-bearing float mostly return
fine values either by assay or pan
test.
"A number of holes are down
twenty-five or thirty feet and these
show ore of a fine workable grade.
The two best showings r on the
Truitt ground and on what is known
as the Murray lease. The Truitt
leasers are down twenty feet and have
eighteen inches of ore that will ave
age about s25 in goiu.
ION the Murray lease, from which
they are shipping a car of ore, they
are down with a shaft about twenty
five feet. This shaft is sunk right in
a break and exposes the strongest
vein yet encountered. The entire
filling as taken from these workings
pans fine in gold and makes a profit
able milling product"
Another in Winnemucca from Hay
stack is John G.. Taylor, Jr. Instead
of cattle and sheep, Taylor, Jr., has
picked a mining career and personal
ly is devoting himself to the develop
ment of his holdings at Haystack.
When this chip of the old block
was asked about Haystack, he took
THE Star man to a grip filled with
Haystack ore showing free gold,
taken from his lease. He said:
What must one think or a dis
trict that shows such proof in a half
dozen places where any real work
has been done? The district has a
broad area which shows evidence OF
gold deposition and l feel confident
that with the right kind of work the
district will continue to make good,
and has done so up to the present.
There is every reason for this con-
fidence."-HumLoIdt Star.

Northwest of the big incline shat
on the Ludwig, out towards the gyp-
sum deposit, a very fine development
of chalcopyrite ore of considerable
magnitude has been made. 1t is said
to be even better than the Casting
Copper, so far as development has
been done. 1t shows an average OF
Is per cent copper. This develop
ment is one of considerable import
ance to the property, being so far
north and west of anything hereto
fore found, and in virgin ground.
The property has always been one
of surprises, and this is but another.
We are informed hat work on the
new teaching plant to be installed
will commence in a few days, and
that instead of being of $50 tons ca
pacity, 1t will be of $50 tons capacity
to start with. The experimental
plant is said to have demonstrated
the perfect extraction of the metal
from the ores.
A. G. Spencer, leasing on the Bo-
ward property, has opened two feet
of fair shipping ore D 1eet
north of the old Kaufman shaft. He
is getting out a shipment which will
go to the smelter in a few days.
Bugbee and associates started
work this week on their property in
this section. The ground is located
about one-eighth of a mile west of
the Bovard property. Some very
rich ore has been found in this
ground in the past and the boys are
going to try to develop a mine.
Some of the leases on the Empire
Nevada ground are looking very
well, especially the one operated by
Charley Oberg and associates. At a
depth of about 80 feet they are TAX
ing out ore that is running from 30
to 40 per cent copper. A shipment
of this character of ore is nearly
ready to go to the smelter. The
boys are figuring on running a cross
cut from the main shaft to cut this
ore so that it can be hoisted through
the shaft instead of by windlass, as

MINING OPERATIONS AT YERINGTON

they are now doing. This would
enable them to make better head
way and the crosscut would only be
about 20 feet in length.
The Greenwood company, owning
the copper property just east OF the
Nevada Douglas, is doing consider
able development work. The COM
pany is working all the men that
can be placed to advantage and the
showing being made is most encour-
aging. They are taking out ore
every day, although they W. some
40 or so feet more to run before
they reach the objective point, where
they expect to enter the ore body
opeend on the 65-foot level above.
The indications are for this ground
to make a fine copper property and
one that will be producing very soon.
Archer, Ehrman and Kimmel, who
have an option on the Montana-Yer-
ington, are now working the prop
erty themselves after having it
bonded a couple of times to different
parties. The late work done on the
property by the Mason Valley people
left a nice showing of ore in the
mine and the boys are extracting
this and preparing to ship to the
smelter. They claim to have ore
enough in sight to keep them busy
for a couple of years and the ore
runs about 6 per cent, making a nice
shipping proposition for some time
to come.
The Constantine brothers are max
ing good progress in sinking the
shaft on their property east of the
Blue Jay. They have what is said
to be a true fissure vein and are TAX
ing out some mighty, fine ore as the
shaft is being sunk. The best part
of it is that as they gain depth the
ore is getting better and carries
greater values. They are down at
the present writing about 1876 feet.
! The hosting is done by a whim and
the boys think they have a downhill
pull on a big piece of money.-Yer-
ington Times.
