ACTIVITY CONTINUES
At T0N0GOlD CAMP

The developments at the new
camp of Tonogold, four miles north
of Tonopah, are going forward with
a steady persistency that has mark
ed it since the discovery of the camp.
The shaft on the Murphy lease
has reached a depth of 6S feet and
it is the intention to continue sink
ing to a depth of at least 100 feet
before drifting. The shaft is being
sunk on the vein and values of some
description have been maintained all
the way down. At the bottom of
the shaft there is at present N of
the best showings that the lease has
had and there are two feet of ore
that will go from $40 to $50 per ton.
The Spencer lease is another one
that has a very good showing. No
less than three veins have been
opened up at different points. In
the hole that has been sunk furthest
been opened up which Mr.. Spencer
believes is the Murphy vein. 1t is
about six feet in width and the val
ues are spotted, though one assay of
$40 has been secured. Another
shaft on the Spencer lease is down
about Is feet following the pitch of
the vein, assays from IS to $40 per
ton having been secured at different
points.
The Tennessee lease is down AZ
feet, at which point there is a streak
of ore that will average about nine
inches in width. Paintings that the
writer saw made last Sunday would
indicate values of better than $50
per ton. This same streak has been
opened up at another point close to
the surface and assays of from $3S
to $45 per ton have ben secured
across the two feet.
On the Campbell e Kelly lease
shaft has reached a depth of 81 feet
and much better progress will be
made from now On. The vein in this
lease is four feet wide, with about
one foot of pay ore. In many of
the specimens there is considerable
free gold visible to the naked eye.
The lessees intend to start a raise
to come up on the ore and get out a
shipment of about 100 tons.
The Gingles lease is now down
As feet and has three feet of ore in
which there is a rich seam from
three to six inches wide.
c. X. Jarvis, in charge of the JAR
Wis, Betram & Richards lease, is
still drifting from the Gingles haft.
In prosecuting this work, Jarvis is
taking out and sacking ore that will
go from $50 to 500 a ton.
The Maupin and Blaylock lease is
800 feet south of the Gingles shaft,
and has reached a depth of % feet.
The vein here is 16 inchs wide with
ONE very good looking stuff that
pans gold. but from which nc as
says have yet been received. The
shaft was started Oct. 6 and the
vein has unusually well-defined
walls.-TOnopah Miner.

ANOTHER PLATINUM
DISCOVERY IS MADE
AURA AMINGO PROPERTY NEAR
BOSS NINE, SCENE OF
STRIKE

the ore from the Aura Amingo prop
erty, a group of claims located one
mile north of the Boss Gold Mining
properties. located in the Yellow
Pine mining district, also known as
the Goodsprings district, in Clark
county, Nevada. The discovery
has created considerable interest
among mining men of the vicinity,
and several of the properties in the
vicinity of the Boss mine. where the
rare mineral a first discovered
have been bonded and are under go
ing development. The Azurite Min
ing company has a force of men at
work and has opened up ore carry
ing copper, lead and zinc, but thus
far no platinum.
Adolph Knopf of the United States
geological survey has been visiting
the Boss mine, and his report on the
deposit is expected to appear in the
lear future. Operators throughout
the district are engaged in having
their ores tested for platinum, and
other strikes are expected in the near
future.
Due to the European war and the
stoppage of exports of platinum from
Russia. the price of the metal has
risen until it is now quoted in New
York at $50 per ounce. This makes
the discovery of unusual interest to
the mining operators in the Yellow
Pine district. who look forward to it
developing into an important pro-
Queer of the rare metal. The pro-
ductiOn heretofore has been confined
mainly to California and Oregon, and
the output from these two states has
been declining.
The boss mine is located about ten
miles west from Goodsprings and is
easily reached by team or automo-
bile. Some prospecting has been
done on the property for the past
twenty years it having been bonded
at various times to the Walker Bros.
and to the Godbe Bros. and other in
terests with headquarters in Salt
Lake. Heretofore copper was the
iiuIh lICldi oOuSuC lOI, anu II was
not until 1914 that the precious-met-
al content was fully recognized The
Boss Mining company was organized
in March, and a very little develop
ment work disclosed sensational val
ues in gold, silver, platinum and pal
ladium.
The ore entirely in lime
stone adjacent to a large porphyry
outcrop and has been developed by
three tunnels at various levels.
Where exposed the vein varies in
thickness from four to twelve feet,
lying very fiat, and making out into
the bedding planes of the limestone.
A small winze sunk from the upper
level in June opened ore, a small ship
ment of which assayed 1875 ounces in
gold, "a ounces in silver 99.OS
in platinum and 16 ounces in pallad-
ium. This was a talcy material that
occurs in small ribbons throughout
the vein.
No shipments are being made at
present. The Boss company is en-
gagged in experimental work with the
idea of treating the ore on the
grOund.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Doubts Tax Puzzle
Comes to Auditor

Two odd cases Of double taxation
that have been put up to County Audi
tor A. H. Welker to solve, furnish a
puzzle In taxation that will probably
have to be decided by the supervisors
when they meet as board Of review.
In Missouri property is assessed In
November. A man living there last
November had his personal property,
consisting of live stock and chattels,
assessed for taxes. Late in the year
he moved to Clemens. Early in Janu-
airy he was assessed for taxes In this
county on the same property. The
question Is does he have to pay taxes
in both states on the same property!
Here's another similar case. Last
January Liscomb man had his per-
sonal property assessed. 1t consisted
of live stock and farm equipment. In
March he moved into Minnesota. In
that state the assessment is made In
May, and during that month he was
assessed again for the same property.
