NEAR WINNEMUCCA

A.. B. Cousins, owner of the D1a-

in ,Winnemucca. The property is
situated in the east range, only a
few miles from the Black Hole and
Auld Lang Syne at Dunn Glen. Sur
rounding the Diamond G are such eX-
cellent showings as the Taylor prop
erty, the Barber canyon placers, a
mile to the southwest and O'Brien

said:
at has to it's credit a recOrd of
large production, though 1t has new
err been properly tested by systemat-
ic mining. Its past production and
present evidence of naturalization
with conditions present makes it an
attractive field for capital and men
who explore for mine making.
without detailing this broad
statement will stand the test: Over
a broad area outside OF known pro-
ducing prospects giving returns to
workers that enable them to prose
cute further work and judging by
the past l am thoroughly convinced
that if capital associated with prac-
tical mine direction will devote its
application to our section that with
in twenty miles of Winnemucca a
number of producing mines will be
opened up.

NEW GOLD DISCOVERY
WEST OF ZABRISKI

A new gold discovery which ap-

made at the south end of Death Val
ley, thirty-two miles west of Ia
riski, on the Tonopah and Tide
water railroad. There is an adit
$50 feet long on a vein from four to
six feet wide, which carefully taken
scarf samples show to average about
$50 per ton. The mine is now own
cd by Messrs. McCausland and Nolan
of Los Angeles, who have twenty
eight men at work and are erecting
a small mill consisting of a crusher
and a 10 foot Lane mill to crush the
ore for amalgamation. The mill is

K. OF C. CELEBRATE
NINTH anniversary
ZIG LODGE AFFAIR ENDS WITH
BANQUET AT GOLDFIELD
HOTEL

In celebration of the ninth ami
versary of the institution of the To-
cal council, Knights of Columbus
and exemplification of degree work,
over fifty members of the Tonopah
council journeyed to Goldfield by
train and automobile Sunday
morning and united with the local
council in observing the occasion
and assisting in administering the
degree work to a class of twenty
seven candidates. That the event
will go down in the memory OF
those present as one of the most en-
joyable and entertaining affairs In
the history of the council is due in
a large measure to the efforts of the
committee on arrangements, the
members of which were Tim Con-
molly, chairman: Jack Daley, Frank
Farrell, J. A. Cody and Father Der
mody.
The days session opened at the
Knights of Columbus hall, when the
members of the local and visiting
councils convened previous to at
tending mass at the Sacred Heart
church, at which Father Deiss of
Tonopah officiated.
At l o'clock the members Of the
united councils resumed their ses-
sion at the Elks' hall, where State
Deputy Leonard b. Fowler, assisted
by the officers of the Tonopah and
Goldfeld councils, exemplifed the
major degree. At the conclusion OF
the degree work the meeting was
adjourned and a respite was taken
until the entire gathering, number
ing well over 100, sat down to a big
banquet in the grill of the Goldfeld
hotel. The ceremonies were started
with the introduction of Frank
Schlanzer as POSTMASTER by Grand
knight j. j. Mangan. In response
to calls from the POSTMASTER re-
marks were made by Thomas Dwyer,

cred the principal address of the
evening. Donald Fraser and Tim
Connolly made their debut before
the b%anqueters along a musical line
by singing a duet, and while it is
disputed as to whether it was their
first attempt, it cannot be denied
that the pair made a distinct hit
with their melody. Ed Walsh and
J. J.. Deggar also helped entertain
by rendering a duet. The banquet
broke up shortly after II o'clock
when the visitors from the silver
camp started on their return jour-
ney.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
IN P|UTE COUNTY
TEN FOOT VEIN ON THE WEDGE
PROPERTY HAS HIGH GRADE
STREAK ON WALLS

Ore running $3.50 in gold and is
ounces in silver to the ton has been
struck in a ten foot vein on the
~property of the Wedge Gold Mining
and Milling company's property, To-
Gated in the Ohio mining district OF
Piute county, ten miles southwest OF
Marysvale, Utah, according to a let
ter received from theer yesterday by
e. p. Mowers, president OF the COM
PAW. The high grade comes from
a 2O-inch pay streak of equal size
on the hanging wall of the vein.
Considerable excitement has been
caused by the strike in Marysvale
and vicinity.
The property of the company, con-
sisting of three claims, is under lease
to J. U. Sargent. 1t has been devel-
oped by a shaft sunk to a depth OF
about seventy feet From h bottom
of the shaft a drift was u for
about forty-five feet in a southeast
erly direction on a small vein of ore,
from which a small shipment was
sent out last year that Melted the
company $500.
c%rosscut was then driven from
the drift to the southwest for the pur-
pose of tapping the larger vein, on
the hanging and footwall of which
rich gold values were found. Be
fore a shipment could be broken,
the water caused by tapping the
large vein made the mining practi-
cally impossible without the installa-
ton of pumps.
A crosscut tunnel was then started
which cut the large vein about fifteen
feet below the bottom of the shaft
and in which high grade ore has beer
encountered. A shipment is being
broken and will be sent to the smell
ter in the near future.
! The ore occurs in a quartz veir
carrying about so per cent magan'
csc and there is about eighty-fivt
feet of stopping ground. The country

bikes and quartz veins. The claims
of the company are located on the
edge of the timber line. and about

mel, the property is heavily timbered

NEW ELECTRIC POWER
LINE NOW IN ROCHESTER,

The new electric power line from
Lahontan to Rochester is now COM
pleted into the camp, poles and wires
being strung clear to the new mill
of the Rochester Mines company.
Practically all that remains to put
the line in working shape is the in
s~tallation of transformers. The con-
structiOn work was rushed with mus
ual r%apidity. and it's completion will
be a great boon to the mines of the
Rochester district.
Work on the new mill is being
pushed ahead very fast. All of the
heavy machinery is now on the
ground and being placed in position,
and it is believed that the mill will
be ready to start on the reduction of
ore not later than February Is.
The Codd road, or Nevada Short
Line, will establish regular passen-
ger service today, making two trips
a day from Oreana.
The mines are looking good and
steady improvement in ore reserves
for shipment and milling purposes.
Every cabin in the camp of Roch-
ester is rented, new work is starting
up in a number of properties and the
old ones are resuming.-Humboldt
