MEN GET III
NEVADA SHIPPER

Utah people have picked up out
in the new Nevada camp of Mccoy
what they consider one of the best
new things which has been lying
around in years. This is the Nc
Coy group, consisting of nine claims,
on which there is a ten-foot vein of
gold ore which samples 500 a ton.
Yesterday Judge C. B.. Smith, at one
time prominently connected with
mining in Rico, Colo, returned rom
making his first inspection of the
property. He is extremely well
pleased with the showing The
property is taken over on a three
years bond and lease. 1t is expected
to begin shipping ore inside of W
weeks.
Judge Smith said yesterday that
Mccoy is located seven miles
the Nevada Central railroad and 80
miles south of Battle Mountain 1t
Is not far from Copper Canyon, Kim
berly and some distance due east
from Rochester. Bailey, twelve
miles distant, by wagon road, is the
present nearest station, but this
distance can be cut to even miles
by a little new road-making.
The formation of Mccoy is made
up principally of blue and dolomite
limestone, rhyolite and porphyry.
There are both t~issures AM blanket
veins in camp. The cmap was dis
covered during the past summer. To
date the deepest working is a 3D.

Judge Smith says the only work
ings on the Mccoy ground group are

and was gratified in finding the
ore held up to about 1.5 ounces
