A mining deal involving the trans

claims in the district to j. Fl. Mon
jar and associates for sum under
stood to aggregate nearly $4,000.
1t will be remembered that about
four months ago the Monjar inter-
ests acquired the famous old Harey-
man mine, owned by Jim Barron
and Lem Allen and the above men,
toned deaf rounds out their hold
ings in this section until it now in
Guides properties that are closely
interviewer with the pioneer history
OF mining in this county. These
mines have been worked ina desul-
tory way for nearly a half century
with the primitive facilities then in
vogue. Distance from the railroads
and the high cost of freighting the
ores by team to a market in the alb
sence of milling facilities has me-
cessitated the working of none but
high grade ores. in the extraction of
which vast tonnage of low grade
the consequent accumulation of a
ing the time when capital could be
interested sufficiently to erect mill
on the ground.
About two weeks ago, Mr.. Monjar,
who has been attracted to the Eagle
vile properties by the Investigations
OF his Superintendent, Mr.. Chas. II.
Brown in charge of the Pedro prop
critics purchased some months ago.
returned to the district accompanied
by party of fourteen, including two
OF the best known engineers on the
Coast, Captain ]. w. Morrell and ].
L. Hoey. After an exhaustive ex-
animation both engineers reported
iavorably on the properties resulting
in their purchase as above stated.
Captain Morrell was seen at the
Overland Hotel last Saturday on his
return from the properties. He was
ayerse to making any statements in
advance of his official report, but ex-
pressed himself as highly gratified
at what he had seen. He admitted
that his report would be a favorable
one and that he would recommend
its purchase and the erection of a
mill of 100 tons daily capacity.
Speaking of the property he said that
there had been vast amount of de-
yelopment work done in past years in
search of high grade streaks that
would stand shipping expenses, with
the consequent accumulation of a
considerable quantity of ore on the
dumps too low grade to ship. He
estimated that there was at least
$4,000 tons now blocked out, and
while no assays have been made
from his extensive samplings, he had
~ hCStNduSS III CaPi 0noih5 thO OPih-
ion that it would run better than
$40 per ton in the bulk. They had
also made an examination of the
Pedro property already purchased,
which, while a smaller proposition,
is unquestionably of much higher
grade In the erection of the mill it
is the intention to treat the ores
from this property also.
chas. II. Brown, superintendent
of the properties. was in town Mon
day to complete the transfer of the
properties on behalf of Mr.. Monjar
who was called away Saturday. He
stated that it is the intention to inn
mediately put crew of men at
work and as soon as the necessary
contracts could be made and the ma
terials delivered in Fallon teams
would be engaged for hauling to the
camp II is the intention of the new
owners to have the mill completed
within the next ninety days If pos
sible and TO this end are exerting all
their efforts.
