30 feet.
Old Slopes extending to the sur
face, indicate that rich ore was
broken for a width of three feet or
more and it is said that 500 tons of
this ore. shipped to the old Stewart
mill, plated s22, with a loss of
s11 per ton. A cross-cut will be
driven south to prospect a spur from
the main vein and to cut the parel-
lei Barber vein, to the south, from
which lessees shipped some $50
ore. The shaft is equipped with
Q power hoist and substantial head
frame.
Tara Company Group
Adjoining the Silver King pro-
perty on the west, the lara com-
pany's claims embrace the west OK
tension of the Red Top and Silver
King vein system including the vein
in which ~high-grade ore was found
on the Helen claim, end-lining the
cara. While development work on
this property has been limited in
scope. indications of large bodies of
good ore have beer found in both
main veins and the lara and Lime
Point No. l claims appear to con-
tain a number of branch veins of
excellent character.
On the Lime Point No. 1 claim a
shaft has been sunk so feet and
equipped with a hosting engine and
L1ol fro,a drift on the S0ufn
vein at the 5O-foot level exposed
ore of high milling grade, together
with seams assaying up to $50 per
ton.
I The property is controlled by
Charles O'Daniel of Goldfield, who
has obtained many high Essays in
sampling the veins and whose plans
for the future involve sinking the
shaft to greater depth and opening
the ore-shoot exposed on the So
loot level, where it is of large d.
mansions and of uniformly good
value. The cara is pronounced by
engineers to be one of the substan-
tial prospects of the district.
Great Western Mine
The original discoveries that led
to development in the Hornsllver
district were on what became known
as the Great Western property, now
owned by the Southwestern Mines
company, in which E. S. Highley,
H. Thorkildsen and S. H. Brady are
interested. This property, traversed
by the Hornsilver-Great Western or
middle vein system, has been devel-
oped extensively to a depth of 42O
feet and has produced shipping ore
to the value of %$15O,OOO. A report
on the property, prepared by j.. X.
Turner and S. H. Brady, indicates
that the mine is one of great value
and has available ore, broken and
blocked out, to the amount OF near
ly 10000 ons and valued at $246,-
600. Negotiations are said to be in
progress looking to the erection of a
mill on this property.
In the western part of the dis
trict the Ida Hillside company has
property for which it has lately Sc
cured a patent and which has the
extension of the Grand Central and
Lime Point veins. The shaft Oh
this property is said to be in mill
ore for a considerable distance.
The Helen claim, north of the
Silver King and adjoining the cara
on the east, has an excellent show
ing and has produced high-grade
shipping ore to the value of several
thousand dollars. The Hornsilver
Consolidated, south of the Grand
Central, has a good surface show
ing and veins of great promise. En-
couraging assays have also been OBJ
tanned on the May claim, in this sec
ton. A number of locations have
been made lately in the eastern part
of the district, toward Robinson
mountain, and good veins have been
exposed on the Lilley group.
Outside Properties
Two miles east of the district a
large quantity of excellent mill ore
has been exposed by N. Theo Of
Goldfeld, who has sunk a 31O-foot
shaft and is developing the property

comprehensive manner with the
object of making available sufficient
ore to warrant the building of a
mill. A short distance south OF the
Theo property are claims owned by
Harry De Vote, who has shipped
approximately $4,000 worth of ore
from above the 20O-foot level and
who has two carloads of good ship
ping ore and a large tonnage OF
mill ore in sight.
Several properties of good prom
Use are situated in the southern part
of the district, in the granite u
try. William keenan, of Goldfeld
has three claims on which he has
exposed lead-zinc ore and this year
he has shipped two carloads OF ~
per cent zinc ore. Gold ore of eX-
