.HAYSTACk MOUNTAIN
CLAIMS ARE SOLD

A deal was closed the latter part
of Inlay sold a group of four claims
at Haystack mountain, near JungO,
to James Edmunds, r. S. Bolam, l..
G. Campbell, c. Il. Smith and John
Mortified of Winnemucca.
The property is the one upon which
was reported last week a strike of
rich gold ore. The strike was fol-
lowed by quite a rush of mining men
and prOspectors to the scene and a
large number of locations were made
cOvery.
Very little work has been done on
the property which has been pur-
chased by Mr.. Edmunds and asso-
ciates. In surface trenches and shall
low shafts, however, the vein has
been opened up in a number of
places. Assays of the ore run from
s25 to SIS per ton in gold and the
vein is said to be about nine feet
in width. Some of the ore is said to
be of the high-grade variety.
The new owners will establish a
camp at once and being active de-
velOpment of the property to fully de-
termine it's value. The surface show
ing is said to be such as to justify
extensive development work.
Among those who have made To-
cations at Haystack are J. B. Truitt,
Mr.. Butler of Denver, Sam Watkins
and M. D. Smith.-Humboldt Star.

ROCHESTER IS
FORGING AHEAD
LATEST NEWS FROM THIS
NORTHERN NE. ADA MIN
ING DISTRICT

The following correspondence re-
lating to the Rochester, New, min
ing district appeared in the last is
sue of the Mining and Scientific
Press:
The Big 4 lessees on the Rochester
Mines company's property have been
under hand Stopping the 5O-foot
south, after following the shoot
down along the hanging wall, a few
shots were put into the foot-wall
which exposed shipping ore, with the
result that this has been followed up
ward from the bottom, and the stope
shows a width in places of IA feet.
The Codd lessees are sinking again,
having installed another hoist and
skip, and will connect with the main
Causten level, which is 400 feet be-
low the apex of the main vein. The
lessees are taking out good ore on
the 320-foot level north.
A notable feature of the Rochester
Mines ore is the increase in the gold
content with depth. At and near the
surface the value in gold from the
various leases, according to smelter
returns, amounted to only 90 and
soc per ton, wheheas the recent ship
ments from the Causten lease, the
lowest workings on the peak, have
yielded over an ounce of gold per
ton. The lower levels of the Big !
lease also show a big increase in gold.
The leases on the Rochester Weaver
ground have always had a fair gold
content, the first shipments from the
Colligan averaging about an ounce;
but these workings are all at a lower
zone than those on Mcneil peak.
The No. 4 lessees in the Rochester
Mines are now driving north from
the main Causten level, and are down
about 400 feet. The Camille Rock
l~essees, on the Mcneil Crown Point
property, which lies to the northeast
of the Rochester Mines ground, with
in the past few months have opened
about 5 feet of good ore which Is be-
ing sorted and sacked for shipment.
This lease has been hampered by sur
face water, which filled the shaft and
workings. 1t is expected hat a hoist
and equipment will shortly be in
stalled. The showing on this cas-
has greatly increased the value of
this property, through which an ex-
tensive vein system runs, including
the veins of the main property of
the district. The Cole and Colligan
lessees to the south have opened
small but rich shoots of ore, and the
Shea Stoker lease. also on the Ro-
chester Weaver ground, is in very
good ore from 3 to 5 feet wide. The
BOughton and the Ferri Sampson
lessees on the McIntOsh-Pitt ground
are getting out another shipment. A
lease has recently been let on the
Minnehaha property, situated east of
Mcneil peak, to Force and McGilvary.
Lessees have been sacking and ship
ping float from Nenzel peak found on
the ground to the west, and returns
of at least $50 per ton are expected.
Recently some high-grade float, show
ing free gold, has been found.
1t has been rumored for some time
that the Nevada Short Line, running
an industrial track and train service
from the lower end of Limerick
canyon to Nenzel. on the Southern
Pacific, would extend its service to
the town of Rochester, but so far
nothing has been done beyond max
ing the surveys, for which quite a
camp is established.
