Smart Property In Silver Range

| Evidences are not lacking that
Churchill county the coming season
will witness mining revival that
bids fair to rival in intensity and re-
suits the boom days of Tonopah
and Goldfield.
Several deals have been consum-
mated in the past few days that
serve to indicate what is in store
! for the season of 1915. The visit
of the Rice party to the j. P.-Wil-
liams holdings at Alpine was men
toned in last weeks Standard.
Now comes transaction which was
closed the last week in Fallon
whereby G. w Kinney, acting as
agent for J.. l.. Barron and Hon.
Lem Allen owners of the famous
Hareyman mine holdings near
Eagleville, disposed of the same to
j. H. Monjar and the A A. Stone
Co., of San Francisco.
This famous property is located
between Fairview and Rawhide,
about five miles from Eagleville and
just over the line in Mineral county.
1t was one of the famous mines of
the early Sos, when the ores were
hauled IL miles to water and worked
by the old Mexican arastra process.
There are several we'll defined min
eral bearing veins on the property,
one carrying values from $25 to
500 in free gold, with parallel
veins showing lead, silver and cop
per.
The property has been worked in
a desultory sort of way for many
years. James l.. Barron has been
a familiar figure in Churchill coun-
ty for may years and has shown his
faith in the property by working it
with the primitive spring pole and
mortar, thus contriving TO extract
sufficient of the precious metal to
enable him to live and prosecute
his search for the bonanza that he
felt certain that was just ahead. In
times past he has refused many fiat
tering offers for the property, but
persisted in his attempts to develop
mine without having to surrender
his interest to secure capital for it's
proper exploitation.
The purchase price is given as
$4,000, the first installment of
which is to be paid within the next
ninety days. The new owners con-
template the erection of a ten-stamp
mill on the property, there being
warrant the installation of a pre-
liminary unit of this size. Mean
while force of men will be put to
work developing the veins already
exposed.
Henry A. Whitley of San Francis
co, has secured lease and bond on
the Dan Tucker group of claims at
Sand Springs, owned by c. w. Kin
ney, l.. l.. Leonard and c. M. Hoov-
er and will begin operations on the
property, which is a low grade prop
osition with a 70-foot vein, ell min
eralized. There is at present a
shaft 12S feet deep on the property,
from which assays have been se-
cured ranging from $5 to $50.
The McElravey Bros, Grant and
c. H., who have had lease on the
Vet Smart property in Silver range,
having been busily engaged the past
year in prospecting work with such
promising results that they have de-
termined to seek outside capital to
assist in developing the property
To this end Grant McElravey has
just returned from q trip East,
where he was promised financial
aid that will be forthcoming later
in the summer. Meanwhile work is
being prosecuted with vigor and a
tunnel has been advanced on the
ledge 120 feet, the face of which is
| in the vein and in which some stop
| ing has been done, the ore from
which has returned assays as high
as $117. Considerable water has
| been encountered in the work and
it has been found necessary to in
| stall pumping plant, which with
hoist will shortly be placed in po-
sition.
