the Balkans.

Mountain district, 40 miles south
of Goldfield, is progressing along
the lines planned by j. X. Turner of
Goldfield, the company's consulting
engineer. From the main tunnel,
some 800 feut from the portal, an
incline raise was driven to cut The
vein at point affording several
hundred feet of backs and the vein
was penetrated short time ago.
A drift is now being driven along
the vein to the southeast. in which
direction the ore-shOot rakes, as
shown by work on the ore in the
upper adits. The property was one
of the early producers of the dis
trict and shipped quantities of rich
ore many years ago, when transpor-
tation was by means of freight wag-
ons and pack mules. The ore is free
milling and can be handled at little
cost through the long tunnel that
has been driven into the mountain.

H0RNSlvER DISTRICT NOW
SHOWS MUCH SHIPPING ORE

main line of the Consolidated Water
company, about eight miles distant
from the mine Specifications have
been prepared for mill OF liberal
capacity, designed to treat the prod
net of the Great Western mine, as
well as the product of other proper
ties in the district. The results Oh
tanned in seeking ore at other points
insure a large supply OF excellent
mill ore for such plant.
The Orlean property. which is be-
ing worked under lease by }. w.
Dunfee of Goldfield. is developing
into a mine of the first Importance,
and shipping ore of uniformly good
grade is being sent to the railroad
shipping point at Stonewall, by mo-
tor trucks, at the rate of over 20
tons daily. 1t is reported that the
lessee has many hundreds of tons or
ore on dumps that will yield large
profit in shipping, while the face or
the main stope underground is OF
great width and averages over $40
per ton.
Within a radius of mile from
the center of the camp of Hornsil-
yer work is being carried on by sew
eral lessees and claim-owners. Nick
Theo of Goldfeld is developing his
ground, about a mile to the south,
and has good ore in sight. Harry
De Votie, also working within mile
of the main street of the camp, has
exposed shipping ore; the Westfall
property, in the Slate Range to the
south. has produced some ore OF
high grade and has more in sight,
and ore of excellent quality is being
sacked on the Seaman and Canavan
leases, near the town.
The principal obstacle to oDera-
tions upon wider scale has been
the lack of water, but this will be
remedied upon the building of the
Southwestern company's mill. when
work and substantial production
should follow at a number of prop
critics throughout the wide area en-
braced in the Hornsiiver district.

OF WATER IN NEVADA'S DESERTS

gathering of data that will more
completely determine the amount Of
rainfall and the area of the water
shed draining into this valley and
the depth at which the water can

sumo that even 40 per cent of the

the magnitude of the possibilities OF
this valley become at once apparent.
One well drilled to a depth of %

hours showed an undiminished flow
of one second-foot, which would be
sufficient for the irrigation of 100

Lands in that valley already sup
piled with water have sold at vary

is no fixed value. prices have reach

THROUGH IGNEOUS ROCK

AT depth of 700 feet in the Sand

ty new cross-cut has been started
to the west, with the object of cut

and dipping in the same direction as
the main vein, to the east. In driv
ing this crOss-cut number of parti-
cles of shale of various sizes have
been found, imbedded in the aude-
site. This is the first sign of any
shale found in the SandstOrm prop

this scattered form is not regarded
us having any deep significance, it
may prove to mark the proximity of
the present work to the shale contact.
The east cross-cut on the 100
foot level, from the bottom of the

feet from the 'winze and has not yet
penetrated the foot-wall of the vein,
which has apparently flattened TO a
considerable extent at this depth.
The crOss-cut has continued to show
many seams of lOw-grade ore ana
Manager Darcy may decide to raise
for the vein shortly. The flatten-

discouraging feature and may tend to
simplify operations here.
