MUCH ACTIVITY IN
CAMP OF WILLARD
ORIGINAL LOCATOR OF SHEEP.
HERDER'S DREAM, TALKS
OF DISTRICT

Edward Reynolds, one of the origi-
nal locators of the Sheepherder's
Dream claim in the new camp of Will
lard, New, and on which claim rath-
err sensational gold values were dis
covered in the ledge on the surface.
has arrived in Salt Lake for the
purpose of meeting his daughter.
who is on the way here. He will re-
turn to LovelOck, New, in a few
days. Mr.. Reynolds said yesterday
that there was considerable activ-
it yin Willard and hat at present
the permonent population consisted
of about 100 men.
Seven lessees are now operating
on the Sheepherder's Dream claim
and the Bankers Dream and Gray
Eagle claims, which comprise the
group owned by Mr.. Reynolds and
associates. The original lOcators of
these claims are E. Reynolds, j.
Gooding, D. Wheeler, frank Bird,
V. A Twigg, r. Mcneil, j. Todd and
l.. A. Friedman. A company has
been incorporated for the purpose of
developing the property and it is
now under lease.
The lessees operating on the
Sheepherder's Dream has a shaft
down so feet, with good ore at the
bottom. and have recently made a
mill run on 200 pounds of ore that
returned So to the pound. Lessees
operating on the Uniacke and Bible
claims have out a carload shipment
that is to be sent to the Seven
Troughs mill. An average sample of
the lot returned $50 and as high as
$3.50 in gold to the ton.
The main ledge in which the val
ues are found up to date, according
to Mr. Reynolds, lies between a por-
phyry and shale and is of quartz.
Shafts have been sunk on it on the
claim adjoining the Sheepherder's
Dream to a depth of 80 feet.
On the Bankers Dream claim les
sees have encountered a ledge nine
feet in width. Samples taken across
the entire width of the vein return
ed $500 in gold to the ton and
four feet of the ledge ran $40 in
gold to the ton. In discussing the
new camp Mr.. Reynolds said that In
all of his mining experience up to
date he had never been in any dis
trict where the surface showings
were so rich.-Salt Lake Tribune.

handling of the ore.
The report of the Mexican COM
pany today shows that important
work has been started on the 200
level, where at a point 20 feet south
from the winze station a west cross
cut was advanced five feet, with the
face in %porphyry. This is the be-
ginning of an extensive campaign of
prospecting on the 200. On the
$500 level the main COmstock lateral
drift was opened and track laid for a
north boundary line. When COM
pleted this drift will greatly improve
ventilation and also permit of the
exploration of a considerable block
of ground. At the mill 155 tons of
ore were crushed, assaying $14.45
per ton.
The Union Con. on the $3.50 level
extended the west crOsscut to the 700
foot point, with the face in porphyry
and quartz. The north drift on the
$500 from the south boundary line
has been cleaned out and repaired
and track laid to the 2S5-foot point.
The Sierra Nevada and Union Con.
on their boundary line on the $500
level, continue to reopen the west
crOsscut into the main ComstOck
country and 244 feet is now in good
repair.
The Comstock Pumping association
on the 200 level has completed the
repairs on the drain in the east ross
cut. and has started repairs to the
drain in the north drift from the
crOsscut. The various pumping
plants worked successfully during
the week and held the water at all
points.
In the Gold Hill section the Jacket
Crown Point-Belcher Mines company
has continued operations along the
usual lines and with good results.
The mill received 1905 tons of dump
rock, and one bar of bullion was
shipped to the smelter. Three mills
and table plates have been hung up
the week while new concrete
have been installed to
replace the timber foundations. I'm
excellent progress has
been made retimbering the 1900 sta
ton at the joint incline, and this
work will probably be completed
the next two weeks. The
pumps in the joint incline are work
ing well and are rapidly lowering the
water. Prospecting continues on
the 1900 Level in Belcher ground
and the southeast drift was advanced
two feet to the 142-foot point. and
29 cars of mill rock saved from this
work. Conditions remain promising

COAL COMPANY'S SUIT
DISMISSED BY COURT
OPERATION OF COAL NINE NOT
INTERSTATE IN CHARACTER
1T Is HELD

FORT SMITH, Ark, July IA
suit for 100000 damages by the
Bache-Denman Coal company against
200 officers and members of the
United Mine Workers of America
was dismissed in the United States
district court yesterday for lack of
jurisdiction.
The suit was the outgrowth of
the roting last year in the Prairie
creek mining district, when several
of the company's plants were de-
stroyed. 1t was brought under the
Sherman act. 1t alleged that the
union men were responsible for the
damage. The court held that the
operation of a coal mine was not
interstate in character.
