DISTRICT
MINES ARE ACTIVE

Adams, t. II. Pledge. E. Radcliffe. W.
d. Jones and DR.. Plymire, business
and mining men of Luning, were In
| Hawthorne last week. They report
that much work is being done in
the mines of that section and the
showing in some of them is excep-
tionally good.
Messrs. Straw and King, Salt
Lake City capitalists, who have put
in the last three weeks prospecting
and sampling the old Hidden Tras-
ure property, left a few days ago
for Salt Lake City to report to as
sociates. They speak very glowing
ly of the property, which is a big
low grade proposition, and intimate
they have sufficient capital back Of
them to put up a mill of such mag
nitude as will enable them to treat
the custom ores of the entire dis
trict. The principal values are in
silver and lead, samples from the ola
workings carrying from SIS to $40
a ton.
j. N. Adams has taken a contract
to run a 200 foot tunnel on the Ne.
vada Ore and Copper company's
ground at Acme. Associated with
Adams are Joe Pope and P. J.. Mey.
ers, two of the most capable miners
of the district, who are performing
the active work. They are drifting
toward what they believe to be a
large body of gold ore. This is by
far the largest single contract let
in the district for some time.
G. b. Jacobs has closed a con-
tract with the Esmeralda Mining
company to continue the sinking OF
the present shaft on the property to
a depth of 200 feet. Mr.. Valentine,
with a small force, began to do the
assessment work on this property
last week.
Harry M. Hill, one of the most
prominent ~prospectors in the district
recently closed a deal with F.. Ever
EFT, for a property three miles from
Acme Developments on which show
gold ore carrying values well above
the average. Mr.. Everett will biuld
a ten stamp mill on the property. Mr.
Hill is being recognized as a mar
of fa~r-see.ing powers in matter per-
tanning to mining. He has located
a claim south of Acme, the indica-
tions on which are very promising.
Owing to climatic conditions it is
impossible to continue research work
at present and work has been dis
continued until spring.
1t is rumOred a company is eX-
perimenting with copper ores of
Lunning, endeavoring to find the
process that will effect the greatest
savings of values with the lease ex
pense, and that an experimental
plant will be installed.
The Goldfield district, 80 miles to
the north of Luning, is attracting
considerable attention from outside
people and it is likely eastern cap
italists will become interested. Lun-
ing is the natural supply point for
the GOldfield district and any in
great benefit to Luning merchants.
Several parties have been outfit.
ted by Luning merchants in the last
few weeks and sent to prospect and
develop numerous slightly known
claims in that vicinity.
j.. E. Quinlan, representing Spo-
kane capitalists, will return soon
with sufficient capital to continue
developments on the Shippers Cop
per ccmpany's property according to
plans formulated by Mr.. Quinlan.
The property has been one of the
largest producers in the country
during the last few years and the
resumption of activities will be a
long step forward for the camp.
