NEW ORE BODY FOUND
in DEMIJOHN NINE

What is considered by the manage
ment of a development of consider
able Importance has taken place on
the Demijohn Consolidated Mining
company's property located two
miles due west of Phoebe, New, ac-
cording to a letter received by the
local officials yesterday from Super
intendent Charles S. Gitsch. The
ore body encountered recently on
the 145 level has widened to more
than three feet in drifting twelve
feet on it along it's strike. 1t is
apparently growing wider as the
drifting progresses, and Superin-
tendent Gitsch takes a very opti-
mistic view of the development.
On the 800 level, where a drift
has been started out in the direction
of the Prince Consolidated proper
ty along a fault plane, from three
to six inches of manganese has been
encountered on the way. This de-
velopment is also considered import
ant, as the occurrence of manganese
is generally met with in hat region
just before the ore is encountered.
The Prince Consolidated property is
at present mining a heavy tonnage
of manganese ore.
On the 1875 Level the winze is
down twelve feet, aud in the bottom
there is about three feet of ore
showing, according to the manage
ment. Superintendent Gitsch re-
ports that he has started hosting
about % ton OF ore that has been
broken in the mine since the de-
velopment work started. He has
sent samples of the ore body to the
local officials and tests will be
made to determine the grade Of the
ore.
The property was recently in
spected by engineers in the employ
of the Prince Consolidated com
pany.-Salt Lake Tribune.

BIG NUGGET u

Bobby Burns and Tony Shoemaker
came to town Monday and created
considerable excitement by exhibit
ing a 14-ounce gold nugget which
came from their placer claim in the
Hawthorne district, near the Pamlico
mine. For several months Burns,
Shoemaker and Blackburn have beel
placer mining in the Hawthorne dis
trict. They have erected sluice box
es and are using the water piped
from Cottonwood canyon. They
struck the placer channel at a depth
of 1870 feet and have made good
wages since that time. Recently
they started an east drift from the
shaft and at a distance of about II
feet ran nto a pocket of rich dirt,
in which was found the big nugger,
which is estimated to be worth
s25O.-Walker Lake Bulletin.

over $1,000 DAILY.
At COALITION MILL

A lively campaign of prospecting
development is in store for the Seven
Troughs Coalition, which will begin
following the installation of the new
100-horsepower engine that should
be on the property August 10. This
will give a total of 175-horsepower
for the hoists, compressors and the
pumps and will leave a surplus for
extensive exploration work which the
company will probably carry on in
the south drifts on the 1900, 1900
and 400 levels.
]. b. Hunley. consulting engineer,
has just reported a new strike on
the 400 south drift where they are
in 16 inches of 1925 ore, which is
apparently the beginning of a very
big orebody, and this is apparently
the same vein that is being opened on
the south 1900 where the stope is
in high grade from 10 inches to two
feet wide. running from 800 to
5000.
In the north 400 they are still
stopping in two feet of very good ore
ranging from 800 to 5000. while
on the south 1900 they are working
on Is inches of $50 ore.
Mr.. Hunley reported that .he
foundation for the new engine was
complete and it can be quickly in
stalled when 1t arrives.
The mill is now running On an
average of 10 hours a day handling
approximately 20 tons. The cleanur
is something over $1,000 daily. A
bullion shipment came in early this
week and was sent away to the mint
amounting to 1O.00O.--Lovelocf

NEW STRIKE MADE N
ROCHESTER MINES

The strike made by the Rochester
Mines company in block No. 8 of the
Crown Point No. 1 on Rochester hill
is the chief topic of interest just
now at the big silver camp, accord
ing to a letter from Levelock. 1t
has disclosed a remarkable body of
ore at the north extension of the
vein system, bringing that particular
territory into a prominence equal to
that which has been enjoyed on the
south workings with their high grade.
Block 3 has been held and develop
ed by the Four J Mining company
under lease and the development was
prosecuted by that company. They
sold out last week to the Rochester
Mines company and work was imme-
diately started to try out some the
cries of the engineering department
regarding the existence of an ore
body.
Under the direction of General Su.
perintendent G. w. Poole and John G.
Hunting, consulting engineer, an up
raise was driven from the intermedi.
ate between the 200 and the 900
levels.
Early last week the men shot into
sever feet of excellent ore, rich in
black sulphides, making it go $40
but all of it averaging $40 cleal
across the vein. 1t constitutes one Of
the best values so far found in Ro'
chester hill and adds a big territory
when figuring the ultimate ore re
serves of the company. = Humboldt

ore averaging $3.50 per ton, and
shipped two bars of bullion to the
smelter.
Mexican, $500 level, 1923 tons taken
from stope and shipped to mill bins,
averaging $10.1O per ton. and 1877
tons of the same value, sent to the
storage piles; 200 level. west cross

station and on the $500 level, the
east crosscut on the boundary line
was cleaned out and repaired for

breaker to the tunnel level of the
tramway, 1913 tons being milled be-
fore shutting down. In the mine a
number of old sets of timbers are
being replaced in the south drift,
and work is now being carried
on in slopes Nos. 1 and 8, break
ing down ore and timbering in prep
aration for increasing the tonnage
as soon as the tramway is in opera
ton. With the same object in view,
an old crosscut is being extended
near the south line of Ophir, and
some old workings are being ex-
plored west OF the middle ledge.
which passed through a quartz belt
of considerable width. On account
OF the necessity Of timbering the
south drift, only a limited amount
of work has been possible in the
Andes mine.
The Mexican company, from the
Slope on the $500 level, delivered
129 tons to the mill bins of an av-
erage assay value of 1910 per ton,
and from the same stope there was
delivered to the storage piles 137
tons of the same value. On the
1900 level the Comstock lateral drift
was opened and track laid for a dis
lance of SO feet, south from the
north boundary line, and $50 feet
is now in good repair. On the
200 level the west c%rosscut from the
south drift was advanced to the "a
foot point, and the face is in por-
pbyry and stringers of quartz OF low
assay value. At the mill 200 tons of
ore were crushed of an average
value of $7.66 per ton, and two bars
smeltter.
The Union Con. on the $500
level, jointly with the Sierra evada,
cleaned out and repaired the west
crosscut for a distance of 20 feet
to the 314-foot point. On the 1850
level the west crosscut has been
extended to the 715-foot point. The
face is in porphyry and quartz.
The Comstock Pumping %associa-
ton continued the repairs to the 200
level, and in the south drift from the
Union-Mexican winze put in a bulk
head and repaired the drain for 80
feet. All pumps are successfully
working.
The Jacket-Crown Point-Belcher
Mines company received S34 tons of
dump and IS tons of mine rock and
shipped one bar of bullion to the
smelter. The installation of concrete
foundations under the mills is being
continued. Underground at the joint
incline, the timbering of the 1900
station has been completed and n
set of timbers installed below the
station. The pumps are working
well and lowering the water. Re-
pairs are being continued at several
POINTS, and at the B raise, 1900 level,
IL cars of mill rock were saved in
timbering for the chute and blower.
The c. p. prospecting work on the
1900 was advanced to the northeast,
and is now out 35 feet from point
of beginning. From this work 43
cars of mill rock were saved. Con-
ditions continue favorable through
out the property.-Virginia Chroni-
