development AMONG VARIOUS
LEASES in CAMP OF TONOGOLD

Development among the various
leases indicate very good Roadway
and the outlook is improving day by
day for the making of a camp that
will soon make history as a produc-
er of high grade milling ore. There
are several parties now investigat-
ing the merits of the district, and it
is more than likely that several deals
of Importance will be put through
during the next few weeks. Enough
work has been perfOrmedSby leasers
to prove that there is a large amount
of milling ore in this section that
will prove very remunerative to a
company financed to go to $50 or
200 feet in depth and an equal
amount of lateral work.
The east section of the T%OnOgOld
district continues to hold the center
of the stage, not on account of any
high grade, but the large amount Of
go I'd grade of medium grade of mill
rock being exposed in several shafts
in that art of the district. Messrs.
McNally, Mullen and Kelly lease on
the Little Pete claim are going down
their shaft like a badger digging a
hole for a nights lodging and now
have reached depth of so feet. They
expect to start a crosscut from the
50-foot level to tap the new vein dis
covered several weeks ago about 20
feet northeast of the shaft. where 20
to pa inches of ore yield paintings
destined to go from $40 to 500 a
ton. A west crosscut to intersect the
hanging wall to ascertain the width
and values of the big vein now be-
ing developed in the shaft will also
be undertaken.
Another lease in the east section
of Tonogold that has all indications
of opening up a large and extensive
body of milling ore is that of Holm
quist and Almquist, about 800 feet
northwest of the McNally, Mullen &
Kelly lease shaft. They are down
50 feet, following a section of the
vein to the footwall that pans a fair
grade of mill ore for width of four
feet and also a good string of colors
from two to two and a half feet of
a yellow clay material back of the
four feet being sunk upon. There is
a large body of ore Opened up a lit
tie to the east of the present shaft
down ten feet, known as the origi-
nal discovery, that appears to be
forming a junction with the ledge
opened in the shaft. An effort will
be made to go as deep as possible
with windlas equipment before start
ing to ,crosscut. possibly at rs feet.
This piece of work when started will

RAPID HANDLING OF
COALITION REPAIRS

The springing of a crank shaft on
the big hoist engine at the Seven
Troughs Coalition mine Sunday
night was the cause of a temporary
shutdown lasting but a few hours
through prompt action in getting to
a repair point.
The shaft had to be SEN to Reno
to be repaired and the auto was sent
in with it a 3 o'clock Monday morn
ing, catching the $50 train. 1t got
back to Lovelock the next morning
at 4:41 and by s o'clock the hoist
was running again, only three hours
being consumed in taking it out to
camp. a distance of so miles and
installing it.
Reports from the mine state that
a new vein was struck in the main
Wine Sunday that goes into the
footwall. While the vein has not
been followed to show size, ETC., the
ore shows free gold all through

The ore body in the Campbell &c

southwest changed at SIS feet to the
northeast at the main pitch out of
the shaft. The vein was located sew
eral days ago and the miners are now
busily engaged in opening it up

MCCOY CAMP WILL
START SHIPMENTS
LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN COP
PER LEDGE RETURNS 4.34
OUNCES GOLD TO TON

Confident that they have secured
what practically will be a shipper
from the grass roots, Guy e. Pierson
associated with Judge c. B. Smith
and Judge J. w. Burton has return
ed from the new camp of Mccoy in
Nevada and plans are being complet-
ed to begin shipments of between
twenty and forty tons of gold ore
FER day. Mr.. Pierson is positive
that Mccoy is destined to become
one of the greatest gold camps in
Nevada. Assay returns from the
latest development in the camp, the
opening up of the pay streak, four
teen feet in width, in copper ledge,
show 4.34 ounce in gold, 1858 Ter
zen in lead and pa per cent in
iron to the ton.
Rhyolite porphyry and blue and
dOlOmite limestone make up the for
nation of the three principal hills in
the camp. What is known as the
lead vein runs practically north and
south. crossing the Mountain Chief
claims. Iron ledge runs practically
east and west and crosses the group
containink the Pay Day and the
Iron King claims. The %copper-gold
ledge runs practically northwest and
southeast, crossing the Patrick, the
Pay Day and Tumble Tree group of
claims.
Mr.. Pierson secured a lease on the
Iron King and has a shaft down thir-
t~y-seven feet, all of which is on ore.
A seven foot streak of quartz on the
hanging wall side assayed LAP
nce in gold and .3 ounces in sill
Yer to the ton. The deepest shaft
at present is on the Whytock Nelson
Childress and Hanson lease. The
SHAFT is fifty feet deep and when Mr..
Pierson and Judge Smith left the
new camp recently a crosscut had
been started across the ledge.
j. H. Mccoy. formerly of Colorado
but who has been in Nevada for the
past six years, discovered the new
camp on May %, 1914. Since that
time considerable prospecting work.
has been done by numerous persons
and according to Mr.. Person, re-
markable assays have been received.
In discussing the width of the lodges
yesterday, Mr.. Pierson was reluctant
to gife figures, saying they seemed
to persons who had not been on the
ground hardly reliable. He admitted
that the copper-gold ledge had been
by trenching for more than
fifty feet without reaching the hang
ing wall. The pay streak of the
ledge however is approximately four
teen feet in width he said.
The camp is located Twenty-Five
miles south of Battle Mountain and
about twelve miles west of the sta
ton, Bailey, on the Nevada Central
railroad. Mr.. Pierson and associa-
ties, who have secured the Mccoy
group, consisting of nine claims, on
a three years bond and lease, will
build a roadway to the Nevada Cen
trail. This will cut down the distance
to seevn miles. There is an abund-
ance of water and timber in the
new camp.-Salt Lake Tribune.
