JUNCO DISTRICT
RICH IN MINERALS

JUNGO, Nevada, December 22.-In
the early history of mining the great
mineral empire surrounding Jungo
was much neglected. me wosk now
gong on in exposing the gold, silver,
COPPER, lead and tungstic dc oGsits of
thi, area has far-re tchins influence
ana aims for practical results, which
will. very limited work IRE being
realized. The real work has only be-
gun and the proof is rich showings
in the varied metals extending in all
directions from Jungo, and from
which to reach the numerous davel-
oping and producing proper ties stu
ated in Haystack section, Eugene
mountains, the Antelope range aud
the Jackson mountains. The new
blood in the section, with mining in
fiuences like c. T. Smith, Linda
Duncan, Robert Marsh, A. ]. Craven,
w. NJ. Humphrey, Colonel Ewtns, Will
c. Wells, George B. Austin and the
like. is doing the work which in tie
course of time will make Nor 'herl
Nevada the mining influence of the
West and where small investments
will bring enormous incomes.
A recent visit to portions of the
territory now being trans formed into
vibrant producing sectioa Is con-
vineing of this prediction. New mIn.
of means are being interested in the
rrocnaof npporftpftfoc c. -fxiIr;,,,
of late, has been the progress in cop
per and gold development that team
sters and chauffenrs are deserting
their posts, going prospecting and
locating claims, and at other points
taking up ground and locations de-
serted by the venturesome pioneer
when he could not gain support to
prove his prospect findings ana gain
that dream of fortune with such an
incentive in the search for wealth
There is no psychic phenomena in
any of this. 1t is real.
One of the unfortunates who To-
Gated a pay streak was A man by the
name of Copley. Not being IN a po-
sition to attract attention and sup
port he left his findings, which at this
date are proving rich coppar-silver
source. Six weeks ago A. B. Austin,
Alfred Tonkin, Mrs. Austin and w
Nj. DeLong relocated the deserted
ground and today are breaking and
blasting from the Copley workings
of other days from two 70 four feet
of copper ore carrying from 10 to 25
per cent, making a copper content,
not counting the gold and silver val
ues, of from $50 to $140 per ton.
This property is situated on the
northwest end of Jackson mountain.
All through the Jackson range ore
of this character is found in crop
pings and prospect work.
To the northeast of this is the Lud-
wig copper area. Further south are
the Austin. Kaiser and Carpenter
properties, under bond AMI with 'lc-
velopment showing quahty which |
proclaims copper as king.
Deep Work Proves Wealth to Depth
In the Red Butte end Willis w.
Wells is proving copper Importance.

deepest development attained is that
&C the Craven Copper company. Here
is a copper production from a depth |
of 225 feet, with copper all the way
down, copper in the bottom and cop
per in the sides of the snast work |
ings-a very firm answer to those
who are so free in their say of 1T
don't go down" To top this proof, |
the Craven Copper company is intro
ducing motive power to haul The rich
ore to the railroad. The initial ship
ment is that of $50 tons of copper ore
worth $3.50 per ton and OF approx !
mate value of $22.500. Not had for a
225-foot hole, down. And this sug-
gests that with the work n progress
by spring numerous dYill holes will
be down deep in the JACKSON range
copper belt. And for one Yno has
seen, it is not, optimism to say what
is proved by the Craven work will be
proven at other points.
Gold and Silver Proving
In company with George B. Austin
a visit was made to Haystqck. Aus

experience and in the theory that
