NEW GOLD STRIKE
NEAR LOvELOCK

Have you been out to the striker"
is the burning question of the hour
in Lovelock this week, says the Re-
view.
The strike referred to is that on
the Honey Bee claim of the Finland
ground in Finland canyon, about
nine miles ~northeasterly of Lovelock
which vas made last week by T. NJ.
Ward, r. Z. Dewey and A. Benedict
ii. the present owners The assay
certificate shows $35O.4O in gold and
1894 in silver.
Nearly three weeks ago Opper-
man. FAINT and Osborn who owned
the Finland group took a small SAM
pie off a cropping in the bottom of
the gulch which assayed $74.76,
mainly in gold. This drew attention
to the property and several prospect
o"s began carefully prospecting the
ground to determine it's value. The
result was the purchase of one claim,
the Honey Bee, by the present lucky
o wners.

piece of rock from an u%ninviting
gulch bed cropping, while making a
survey of the newly acquired claim,
brought to light a quartz vein show
.Eg the gold particles literally
sprinkled throughout which gave the
above assay and started the excite
ment when the facts got out.
The vein in which the high grade
is found is within 80 feet of where
the $74 assay was taken, the two
veins running parallel across the
claim. Both veins outcrop on both
sides of the gulch, giving approx
mately 70 feet of height from the
gulch level. Nearly all float and
groupings show the tree gold and all
pan freely. Huge bouders, uninvit-
ing from a mining mans viewpoint,
show on top of the south cropping
and all pan fine strings of yellow
metal. An assay taken from this
cropping gave returns of $3.50.
The hills surrounding the strike
are swarming with prospectors and
uisitors and little groups of excited
men are found busy with magnifying
glasses examining pieces of rocks in
the hope that they have found a SIM
liar bonanza. Even the ladies are
TO be found on the hillsides breaking
off pieces from anything that looks
like rock.
