OLE ELLIOTT
BUYS A MINE

Last week Morris Roberts and as
sociates disposed of the Moonlight
group of gold claims, situated Dol
Lyons Springs, to w. e. Elliott Of
Ely for a consideration of $4,000.
Mr.. Elliott has a force of men at
work on the property, and will soon
be shipping ore. During the early
days of the district a considerable
tonnage of ore vas shipped from
the surface of these claims to the
Selby smelter at San Francisco. The
ore includes gold silver and lead
values, some of it running several
ounces in gold per ton. There has
been but little development work
done on any of the claims, but Mr..
Elliott has commenced the sink
ing of a shaft, which is going down
in ore of good shipping grade. -
