The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1914-07-02
GOOD REPORT FROM
NATIONAL -BUCKSK|N

Frank r. O'Leary is in winnemuc-
ca, en- route to Reno. O'Leary pro-
nounces National and Buckskin as
full of rich assurance as ever in their
history. Later developments and
proof work are all to the good. He
predicts that the earnings during the
coming year will be as good, If not
surprising, any year prior in the
life of National.
"The Hines Baldwin, now the
Dwyer CONTROL he says, "is fine
showing. Their tale is rich in silver
and gold and their qarrtz carries
large values in silver, more silver than
gold. The proverbial test for ruby
shows bleeding or blood red that
proves the high silver value of the
ore now taken out. The indications
are that the lease win open another
National fortune maker.
"The National Mines has opened a
very rich shoot at the deepest work
ings. It's values are mainly silver,
and run from 8 inches to 1H feet
about $4,000 to the ton. The mill is
working and turning out bullion.
"The Hatch leases at National
and Buckskin are both making . fine
showing. To the north of the Ma
tional mine, on the Mayflower lease.
he is cutting stringer which shows
the high prospect value from which
the National Mine had its making. On
his Buckskin lease he has cut the
vein with fine silver values and is
sinking a winze thereon, with most
favorable values from deepest work
ings.
'tThe Staunton-Dunn lease has at
tanned depth of so feet, and with
out prospecting on vein the down
work is cutting stringers and feeders
of the main vein carrying fine gold
silver values The Staunton- Dunn
work is the sinking of vertical
shaft to 200 feet and then cutting the
vein and drifting thereon at the same
time continuing shaft to 400. Every
feature at present from rich stringers
and feeders points to a rich body of
orc in this leasehold.
O'Leary has finished map of the
Buckskin section of the National dis
triet The map shows claims and
veins as surveyed and determined.
Pelton Loking After Mining Interests
John f. Pelton, with his luminous
smile and good fellowship and success
full mine-making capacity, is with us.
Pelton is here for while looking up
his varied mine interest at Haystack,
Gold Circle and other points He has
confidence in Nevada opportunities
and outside of his interests is survey
ing, at is were from a summit, new
openins. such as this state affords
and like a true Nevada miner always
ready to play the game successfully
where a miner-like evidence of reward
is in prospect.
The work of Pelton to a state and
its enterprises is Of higher value than
dollars and cents. Their aim upbuilds
and brings returns to others than
themselves.
In the new work contemplated by
the Pelton sydicate there is much
good for the sections of Nevada in
which they take an interest.
Mining Notes.
Pete Meslo and ]. McKimmon are
on a prospecting trip south of Win
Hemucca. Pete has spotted section
which he believes will make good and
be contributory to Winnemucea.
Joe Miehaels is in Winnemueca to-
day from Copper Canyon. Joe reports
considerable work and extraction of
placer gold from that section. He
states that Dahl and christensen are
working 80 men and taking out much
gold daily. Other workers outside of
the legitimate area also are doing
nicely, making money and opening
new placer areas Joe is confident
that in time the Copper, Box and Will
low Creek canyons, with guiehes and
plains, will add millions of dollars
worth of gold to the worlds supply.
The opportunity in that section is
great, says Michaels.
