SIGNAL PEAK NINE

A bullion shipment from the Hahn
& Snyder lease on the Signal Peak
property is due in a few days when
it will be possible to determine the
value of the ore that is now being
milled. estimated in the neighbor-
hood of $50 a ton. The two-stamp
mill. which has been operating on
the property for months is still in
commission, working regularly mill
ing an excellent grade of ore that is
being taken from below the tunnel
level near the %11O0-foot point and
also from Slopes above.
The Signal Peak. lying just across
the mountain from the Coalition and
believed to be part of the same vein
system, is one of the old properties
of the Seven Troughs district. An
1SOO-foot tunnel has been driven in
to the heart of Signal Peak. expos

BURMESE HILLS CLAIMS
GIVING GOOD PROMISE

Standing by itself on the desert,
and with the appearance of having
been forced from the center of the
earth by some great ,pheaval. is the
property of the Burmese Hills Min
ing & Development company, which
according to the reports of reputable
mining engineers. will some day be
numbered among the big producers
in the state.
The property is situated about IL
miles northwest of Schurz and ABOUT
80 miles from the famous COmstCck
lode, and like these great mines the
veins have a trend northeast AMI
southwest. The principal formation
being granite and rhyOlite. Four big
veins traverse the property, all which
are true assures, cutting the granite
and all carrying values to some X
tent.
This property was discovered by
George S. Hedges, who has put in q
great deal of time and money since
1908 in doing the necessary work to
nOIO the CldlIlS anu IL OpCAiIlS UP
the veins. Each years work has
added to the value of the claims, in
the great improvement in the grade
of ore uncovered and in the size OF
the veins uncovered.
About two years ago r. M. Smith
organized a company on the property
adjoining the Burmese Hills ground
with the result hat after thoroughly
prospecting the ground. they install
ed machinery and sank a shaft to a
depth of 800 feet, and are at present
drifting to tap the big veins which
traverse the property of both thar
company and that of the Burmese
Hills. These veins they expect to
reach with about 700 feet of drift
ing. They are well pleased with the
outlook of the property and state
that they have proven hat the Bur
ness Hills will make a min Car

SUNSET COMPANY is
ENLARGING CAPACITY

The Sunset Mining and Develop
ment company, operating the old
ramps Consolidated property at
Rhvolite. is making improvements In
it's mill that are designed to increase
it's capacity. The principal new
equipment will consist of a Door
duplex classifier and a Hardinger
ball mill. Some accessory equip
ment will also. be installed. the
classifier is now on the ground and
~bncrete foundations for the ball
Mill are being built. The addition
to the equipment will be completely
installed and in operation by Janu-
ary 1 and will increase the milling
capacity of the plant to approximate
" 100 tons per day.
The Sunset mine and mill nave
been operating for the past ine or
ten months steadily. At the outset
only about 80 tons of ore were
treated daily. The tonnage at pres
ent being handled is slightly better
than so tons per day. The ore is
averaging from 81 to $40 per ton and
an extraction of approximately 80
per cent is being made.-Obelisk.

DEFEAT
G0LDF|flD TEAM
LOSE CONTEST ON A FtCkE
PUNT WHICH WAS AWARD
ED TO BISHOP

The local high-school team was
defeated Saturday by Bishop in the
first interstate game v played by
a southern Nevada school away from
its home grounds. T. The score was
2 to 0. The team returned from
the Homie auto trip last evening
and the members were not at all
disheartened by the outcome of Sat-
urday's contest. " @
The local lads made the tiresome
journey in good time, but the cold
and the long ride had the effect,
which was apparent toward the close
of the fourth period, of slowing up
the team a bit. The squad was CIV
en- the keys of the city, and the
citizens of Bishop held open house
to the local team. Coach Turner is
enthusiastic owe the hospitality &C
corded the team and is also conf
dent of the outcome of the struggle
between the Tonopah squad and his
proteges on Thanksgiving day.
Goldfield outplayed the husky
Bishop team in the first three quar-
tiers and was defeated on a fluke
kick, the recovery of which was q
disputed point between the officials,
but the ball was finally awarded the
farmers on Goldfeld's three-yard
line. The local team held for three
downs, but the heavy Bishop backs
managed on the fourth down to
throw the light Goldfieid ends off
and to put the ball over for the only
score of the game. The local lads
held on all line plays and, despite
the greater weight of the Bishop
aggregation, forced all plays to the
open field. Bishop could gain only
by the use of the forward pass and
long end runs, where the weight of

Coach Turner is very optimistic
about the future and regards the

the local team. The score of the
Reno-Tonopah game at Reno demon
strates that the Reno team will
meet only one team which can con-
test it's claim to the state champion
ship. That team will be the Gold

team defeated Tonopah here in the
first game of the season. The boys
of the silver camp were overwhelm-
ed by a So to 0 score on Mackay

RICH DEPOSIT IN
ROCHESTER MINE
REPORTS DECLARE OREBODY Is
OF UNIFORMLY HIGH
VALUE

An immense orebody has been
opened in the property of the Roch-
ester Mines company on the east vein
and the last four feet broken into
reveals free gold. The first ten feet
of the vein gave returns from $24 to
$50 a tom. After breaking through
a false hanging wall they have found
four feet more in which the free gold
shows but which cannot be definitely
valued at this time because of lack
of assay returns.
This is one of the most remark
able discoveries of the HUMBOLDT
range. 1t is an orebody such as
created excitement in the days of the
Comstock and the later history of
Tonopah.
The East vein of the Crown Point
claim has shown extraordinary con-.
sistency. The present shoot is re-
vealed in the Codd winze 100 feet
below the 800 level, which in fact is
600 feet on the dip of the vein from
outcrop. Three hundred and fifty feet
south the Big Four winze. is down
to the $50 level on the same vein,
sinking in six to nine feet of ore
Free gold showings have been found
in this portion of the vein and it Is
a matter of authentic record that the
gold content of the ore has gradually
been increasing as depth has been
ATTAINED.
This splendid orebody which is
now furnishing practically all the
tonnage that is going through the
Rochester mill is blocked 500 feet on
the dip and $50 feet along the strike

BORN DIVORCE CASE
IS FINALLY SETTLED

The long-standing Born divorce
case has been finally settled. Judge
Averill of Tonopah recently handed
down his decision in the case, which
has been hanging fire in the courts
of this state and of Colorado for the
past two years. He has decided
that the plaintiff, H. H. Born, is
entitled to a divorce from Katy A.
Born on the condition that he obeys
the injunctions of the court, which
are that the plaintiff pay all en-
cumberance on the Denver property
owned by him and allow the defend
ant to collect the income from the
property; also that he pay all court
costs and the attorney fees of the
defendant. The divorce was grant
ed on the grounds of extreme
cruelty.
