FALION is MYSTIFIED
OVER HIGH-GRADE ORE

FallOn people have been agog for
several days as the result of a mys-
terious shipment of gold ore from
the town that ran into many thou
sands of dollars per ton. Many
people, including the editor, have
seer samples of this rock, and it is
rich in free gold, plainly visible to
the eye. In fact, the samples are so
rich that they would induce sight in
the eyes of a blind pawn broker.
A stampede is promised, the only
incentive at hand just now for not
stampeding for the scene of the dis
cOvery being the fact that We do
not know where to stampede. When
the secret is emblazoned the outside
world will know that Churchill coun-
ty still has within it's broad bosom
not only agricultural potentialties OF
the highest order, but a wealth Of
precious metal, which is certain to
pour into s~ociety's lap in ever in
~creasing vOlume.-Churchill Coun-

passed over my head and exploded
about a hundred yards up the street.
directly opposite the cathedral and.
in fact, almost directly on the spot
where / had taken my last photo

shell was quickly followed by anoth-
err that vent through the roof of a
building to the left of the cathedral
and about a hundred yards in that

couple of six inch guns; that, is, each

the shells landing in -four different
directions from us, each succeeding
shell being stepped fifty feet nearer

"By the time we realized what was
happening it was too late for us to

shell, coming directly for the center

RICH ORE SHIPPED
FROM DULUTH CLAIMS

When the old prospector gets d
whiff of desert air scented with the
alluring perfume of agnew strike he
Immediately assumes a mysterious
air and hikes for the hills.
A few weeks ago eight tOns of
ore was shipped through Fallon
from the Duluth group of claims
situated some eighteen miles south
east of the Churchill county line and
about twelve miles northeast of lone
valley. The eight tons averaged about
$500 per ton. Since hat a cOnsisn-
ment of high grade was sent out
from the same property amounting
to 4S0 pounds and gave $1,440.
This week c. w. Kinney and l.. l..
Leonard dashed over to that district
by auto and took options on \ num-
Der of claims. The Duluth property
is owned by Lave Fife and his part
ner, Mr.. Bills. They located the
claims a couple of years ago but on
ly commenced taking out the high
grade a couple of months ago. They
Optioned all of their holding to
Messrs. Kinney and Leonard, who
also took an option on the property
of a colored man by the name Of
w. A. Tucker, near the Burnt Cab
n, some distance this side of Du-
luth.
At Mud Springs they also took an
option on the property of j. o. Kin
now pounding out 500 ore.
On their return they met several
auto parties headed for Duluth and
it is understood that a good many
'%rospectors are starting for the
camp.
Nessrs Kinney and Leonard are
hibiting some wonderfully rich
'necimens of ore from that district.

ZINC ORE STRUCK At
ANTELOPE SPRINGS
LESSEES AT HAYSTACk CUT Is
INCHES RUNNING 500 10
TON IN GOLD

Three feet of fine looking zinc ore
has been opened in a raise from the
No. 4 tunnel level of the Antelope
Springs mine, the property of which
is located in Humboldt county, New
ada, according to word received at
the local office from Manager j. w.
Geiger. The ore was struck on new
years eve at a point thirty-two feet
above the tunnel level, the raise be-
ing driven to connect with a winze
sunk sixty-two feet from the No. 3
tunnel level. Practically ninety
eight feet of a raise will be neces-
sary to connect with the winze.
At the new camp of Haystack eight
miles west of Jungo, New. a station
on the Western Pacific railroad, w.
]. Merryfield and G.. Kronenwetter
have encountered eighteen inches of
ore that runs 500 in gold to the
ton in the shaft. This claim is part
of the property of the Haystack
Mining company. On the Wheatfield
claim they have recently started a
shaft on a Jour foot body of ore that
averages $40 to the ton in gold. For
the purpose of reducing the ore on
the property the Haystack company
will install a five stamp mill.
c. j. Haggerty and Nj. Smith have
leased 100 by 800 feet of the Grain
field claim from the same company
and have sunk a shaft forty feet. AT
the fifty foot point they plan drift
ing fifteen feet to cut the vein open
ed on the surface. Two feet of mill
ing ore hat runs between SIS and
500 to the ton has been opened by
Kali and Cook, who have a lease on
the Horned Toad claim belonging to
Montgomery, Osler and Douglas OF
Winnemucca. The shafts have been
sunk, one fifty feet and the other
twenty-five feet, which are connect
ed with a crosscut. They also have
opened a small streak of ore that
runs in the neighborhood of 500 to
the ton.
According to Manager Geiger, who
passed through Haystack recently the
camp is in much better condition
than it has been for some time and is
attracting considerable attention
from prospectors and those looking
for mining investments. The ore
is free milling and on some of the
properties the operators are consid-
ering the installation of small min,
ing plants.-Salt Lake Tribune.
