GROOM NINE IN LINCOLN COUN-
TY IL PRODUCING GOOD
TONNAGE

The Groom lead mine, under
lease to Tom McCormac continues
a steady output of ore with very
gratifying results to both lessee all 1
owners. The properties were first
opened up years ago but the dis
lance from rail transportation pre-
v5nte1 active working until recent
ears, or until the building of the
Las Vegas & Tonopah road took
place.
The mines are situated in the
southwest pan. of Lincoln county
about 80 miles north of the south
within about II miles of the I'VE
county line.
The ore is lead-silver, running
from 80 to so per cent in lead
with from 90 to 25 ounces in silver
to the ton; low in silica with no
bases, and enough iron and copper
70 make them what is said TO be the
best f~luxing ore reaching the Salt
Lake smelters at the present time.
Ore of this character and grade has
feen going into market by the car
load for several months past.
The ore is shipped by teams south
to Indian Springs. some 81 miles
from the mine. About 80 head of
horses are at present engaged in
the haul. This number may lie
shortly increased but before the adj
vent of hot weather auto trucks viii
be put on as the heat and shortage
of water in that section makes
wagon hauling too expensive. With
some work on the road the cost of
hauling to the railroad will be nearIy
cut in half.
Within the last month McCormac
has put into ne a ton truck prin-
cipally for carrying passengers and
supplies in and out. 1t can speed
IN to about 16 miles an hour Sup
rlies are taken from Caliente and
Indian Springs. The Caliente road
Is about 105 miles to the mine
but is a better road of the two and
on his last trip from the mine Nc
Cormac with two passengers and a
light load covered the distance from
the mine to the hotel in Caliente in
six hours. This is in sharp con-
traet with previous trips to the prop
ertv with horses, where with n good
team three DAYS were occupied in
making the trip each way.-Piocne

The management of the Merger
believes that the last men

a raise and a drift are in ore that
samples around 1925 a ton in gold

The south drift on the vein en-
ccuntered at SOS feet in the Friei-
+ man tunnel will be projected o'it
Under Sunflower hill, as the main
thoroughfare for opening at depth
the rich veins of that section of the
Mergers holdings. When this drift
rs driven to the desired point cross
cuts will be sent out to tap the en-
tire network of veins that show on
the surface and are also quite ex-
t%ensively opened by development
work, and it is expected that this
drift will disclose some important
orebodies as it progresses sonIl
from the tunnel. All of the new
work will be pushed with machine
drills and rapid Roadway made.
The Rochester Mines copany IS
now completing a raise to the sur
