Big b Drive

r.. A. Ward, representing the
government in the work of eXter-
minating rabbits in the Austin sec
ton, made a demonstration a few
days ago on the ranch of Sam Car
ter at Big Creek. He exterminated
over 400 jack-rabbits in TOUR days.
Men engaged in the work estimate
that at least one-fifth of the rab-
bits killed in such a campaign are
never found, as they die in the
brush. On this basis close to 1900
animals were put out of commits
sion in the four days. The best kill
vas made with poisoned alfalfa
leaves. With 40 pounds of leaves,
967 rabbits were destroyed.

bodies of ore will be found in eX-
ploring the large part of the main
vein in this territory that has not
yet been prospected. Possibilities
also remain for the development of
a large tonnage of medium grade
ore and mill ore in the central part
of the property, below the levels
from which the high-grade ore has
been stopped. With this prospect
in view, the part of the main vein
that extends within the shale will
be prospected by can of a series
of raises from the 1017-fOot level.

JUMBO JUNIOR EXPOSES
GOOD QUARTZ AT DEPTH

Quartz of excellent character has
been exposed in the east cross-cut of
the Jumbo Junior, at a depth o.
$50 feet, in driving east from The
main drift that was extended into
this ground from the Velvet work
ings of the Jumbo Extension. The
discovery of silicious material at
this point is regarded as an indi-
cation that the cross-cut is about
to penetrate the shale contact zone,
on it's western dip, and conditions in
the property are looked upon as
decidedly encouraging.

COUNTY NINE
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

The Lemire lease on the WaN&
mine is showing up richer than eve0
during the last few weeks of opera
tions. In a winze in the west drift
at the 800 foot level, ore is being
taken out hat runs from 500 to
1000 ounces per ton in silver. Some
days, two tons of the stuff comes
out and other days the big pay
falls down a little. But the thing
that this lease is proving is that
there is a mine of some quality in
New York canyon. - Reese River

ROUND MOUNTAIN
SLU|CES GRAVEL
CLEANING UP MATERIAL OF
GOOD GRADE AT A RAPID
RATE

The hydraulic seaso at Round
Mountain is at an end, owing to
exhaustion of the supply OF water.
President L. D. Gordon states that
the Round Mountain Mining Co.
is now handling about 1000 yards
OF gravel a week by sluicing. The
gravel is conveyed by scrapers and
teams to a trap, through which 1t is
dumped from an overhead roadway
into the head of the boxes.
There is an endless procession of
these ore conveyances. Last weeks
cleanup averaged $3.50 a ton pro-
fit, even after taking out the over
head coasts. Electric lights are in
stalled and two shifts are employ
ed. This method of operation will
be continued until the gravel free
yes, which will probably be two
months hence.
The bedrock cleaning is now N
progress and will continue for sew
eral weeks. The stripped rock is
being gone over with minute care
in order to locate cash seams that
may lead to lodges beneath. Liter
ally speaking, the bedrock is being
scanned by means of magnifylng
glasses.
Plans are nearly completed for
the construction of either a new
impounding dam in Jet canyon or
reconstructing the present reser-
voir, so that all storm water may
be impounded and the supply aug
mented for the giants. The mine
and mill are both running regularly
and are on a profitable basis.
A new departure next season will
be had in the slucing of the gra-
vel. For blocks steel rails will
be substituted. Seven tons of %
pound rails have been ordered.
Quicksilver will continue to be used
although even without it the saving
would be nearly complete. The
sluices are 240 feet long and near
ly all the gold is caught in the up-
per sets. The tails show hardly a
color. Next season the yardage of
gravel handled is expected to be
much larger and of better grade
than this year.-Tonopah Bonanza

work is now nearing a point below
the old slopes from which quanti-
ties of low-grade shipping ore were
taken by lessees, several years ago,
and the conditions in the property
are regarded as promising Tor the
early discovery of pay ore.

On the 350-foot level the south
drift is advancing on the vein that

early days of the camp. The DRIFT

Cracker Jack
A discovery of great promise has
been made in driving a raise from
the main south drift on the 12O'
foot level of the Cracker Jack and
preparations are being made to re
timber the main shaft to the 800

tended literally at this point to
determine the extent of the high
grade ore and work will be rushed
on the deeper level.
DiamOndfield Black Butte
A complete core-drilling plant has
been purchased by the Black Butte
and is being installed in
the flat, southwest of the butte,
where sinking will begin at once
and will be pushed as rapidly as
possible with three shifts of drill
operators. The company is now
shipping ore of good grade from
the Orizaba property, 80 miles north
of Millers and which is controlled
by the Black Butte company. Jum-
DO Junior has exposed quartz of
good appearance on its SSO-foot
level. Great Bend is blocking out
a substantial tonnage of mill ore
and sacking high-grade material for
shipment. The Grandma Consol1-
dated is making rapid progress in
sinking it's main shaft. Spearhead
continues sinking it's big main shaft,
at a depth of about 500 feet, and
is exploring it's ground on the 45O-
foot level. Blue Bull continues de-
velopment work on the 7OO-foot
level, where large quantities of good
looking quartz have been found.
Goldfield Orc is working at a depth
of 500 feet, in territory that has
