LEASES BUSY

J. ]. Mccarthy, who is in
charge of operations on the Black
Mammoth property at Manhattan,
was in Tonopah yesterday on bust
ness. In speaking of work on the
Black Mammoth he said that the
incline shaft is now down 70 feet
and at that depth a three and one
half foot ledge is giving up ore
that averages over $50 a ton. The
work of installing a power hoist
is now in progress and the plant
is expected to be in working order
about next Monday.
The Black Mammoth vas taken
over by the Record Lode people of
Oatman about two months ago and
Mr.. Mccarthy will leave for Oat-
man the first of next week to con-
fer with these people.
Mr.. Mccarthy stated that the
different leasers at Manhattan are
doing well and that several of the
local mills are kept busy. Down
the gulch the placer mines are
running full blast and are sending
forth regular shipments of bullion.

WILL DRILL FOR THE
RIVER OF DOUBT

The Tonopah and Tidewater
railroad now has drilling machin-
cry at Death Valley Junction to
be used in drilling for water in
the Amargosa desert in an effort
to locate the Amargosa river,
which is supposed to flow under
ground through the desert. The
RIVER disappears near Beatty and
comes to the surface in the lower
part of Death Valley. Experiments
made by university engineers at
Leland, New, resulted in the find
ing of water and the district has
since produced a variety of fruits.
The Tidewater will drill at many
points in hope Of locating the riv-
er channel. The railroad has been
conducted at a loss where it runs
through the Amargosa desert but
if water can be obtained, a%gricult-
ure will make it pay a profit.

IN
PIOCHE HILLS

~Prospectors from White Pine
county, who have caught the tung-
stem fever, drifted down into Lin
coin county recently and have es-
ta blished a camp about four miles
from the Geyser ranch where, it is
said, they have found placer tung =
stem in what appears to be CONNER
cial quantity. Numerous claims
have been located during the past
week and people in the northern
end of the county have become so
much excited that it has been a
difficult matter to keep help on the
ranches. All have become so in
tensely worked up over mining, and
tungsten in particular.
County Auditor Garrison, while
at Geyser last week went up on
Patterson mountain and staked of
several claims, which, he says, have
some good surface showings of
tungsten. The Patterson district
Was a producer of rich silver-lead
ore years ago when the white metal
was around 81 an ounce. Now with
prices of silver soaring again the IA
nous old camp is likely to come
back to it's own. The finding of
tungsten ore there too, is bound to
give it a lease of life.-Reveille

LATEST FIND

In his daily search for mining
news that is mining news, the min
ing editor is often called upon to
listen to many strange and Wonder
full stories of strikes made in some
property, says the Elko I~ndepend-
ent. AS a general rule he is unable
to visit the scene of the strike. AS
a he is forced to &C
cept as truth many of the stories
he hears. He has been in the min
ing business himself, however, and
has learned how the optimist that
mines-and there is no other type
is likely in his enthusiasm about
his find to enlarge upon it. But did
YOU ever hear of anything like the
following special received from one
Gabriel Bumpas of Wells, Nevada,
under a date line of May Il?
"Elko county is full of prospect
ors looking for tungsten. but ready
to locate anything that looks good.

JUMP MARKS ARE
ECLIPSED

The state defamation contest
for boys. held at the University of
Nevada was won by John Cuddy

Miss Eleanor Turley of Reno,
speaking THE Sign of the Cross"
won the state defamation contest
for girls. Miss Avery Davenport of
Winnemucca took second place and
Miss Nellie Williams of Las Vegas
was awarded third prize.
The track and field meet was
won by the Auburn, CAL, team,
with Reno second and Susanville,
Cal. third. Three new league rec
ords were established; Peart of Au-

NEW DISCOVERIES OF
TUNGSTEN REPORTED
DISTRICT OF ELY IS BEING PROS
PECTED WITH Sue
CESS

ELY, New, May ia pTOnni~
ing discovery of scheelite ore has
been made by A. G.. Hall and Joe
Eayless in the Scheelite district,
about one and one-half miles from
the property of the Independent
Tungsten company. Other Ely men
are interested with them. Some
of the samples they have brought in
will assay As e cent tungstfc
acid. They have a six-foot vein
that shows liberal quantities OF
high grade ore, which is of the
canary scheelite variety.
Clyde Tilford, one of the most
persistent and fortunate prospect
ors along the tungsten belt, has
made a new discovery in the foot
wall of a six foot vein of good
milling ore on one of the group or
claims at Minerva in which Sher-
if Grain, Tom Barton and others
are interested with him. This is
at a point considerably lower down
the hill than their other work, and
furnishes good opportunity for de-
velopment by tunnel.
]. N. Molineaux, with whom F.
Kelser of Ely is associated, is OPP
ening some good prospects on their
group of five claims a mile or SO
further south. He has been sack
ing good ore from open cuts and
has promising showings at several
points.
His brother, who has been doing
some prospecting in this region,
has located what is believed to he
the easterly extension of the Ever
EFT vein of the Nevada Scheelite
company, beyond the fault plane
that had thrown it about 600 feet
off it's course. In his preliminary
work he has disclosed some high
grade scheelite ore, from which he
can begin sacking Immediately
Arnold Millick, w. S. Elliott and
associates are meeting with on
of their group of claims between
J. N. Molineaux and the Tilford-
Grain properties. Good bodies of
ore in which high grade is plen-
tiful have been opened on several
veins and a tunnel is planned for
systematic development at greater
depth.
Starkweather brothers have a
group of five claims south of here,
on which they are doing consid-
cradle prospecting, with %encourag-
ing results.
Another discovery that gives
much promise has been made by
William O'Hara and T. w. HUDSON,
on claims they have located
this neighborhood. a. B. Whether
of Ely is interested with them.
They have a large vein of schee-
lite ore which thy estimate viii
average 10 per cen across the
entire width of the ledge, and they
are sacking high grade from their
discovery work. On another vein
they opened a good streak of sill
yer ore that will run from 100 to
several hundred ounces per ton.
