%H|GH-GRAOE At
DEPTH IN BOSS
ORE-BODY INTERSECTED IN
RAISE FROM 4OO-FOOT
LEVEL

While raising from the four
hundred foot level at the Boss mine
in order to intersect the ore-body
now being mined on the 800, a
high-grade body of copper ore with
platinum and palladium values was
encountered SO feet from the point
where the raise was started. The
ore was discovered at a greater
depth than was anticipated and
while assays have not yet been run
on the new strike, it is of the same
rich character as has been shipped
from the mine during the past
months. The mine is now taking out
about six tons of ore a day, which
averages we'll over 5000 a ton, and
one shipment of high-grade of 1900
pounds made last week ran over
$1,000, or IL ounces of platinum
and SIS in gold and IL per cent in
copper.
o. j. Fisk, manager of the Boss,
left for Los Angeles on Thursday
evening to complete arrangements
that have been made with the Cali
fornia Chemical company looking to
building their teaching plant CONT
guous to the plant of the chemical
company. Owing to the high freight
rate on the acid necessary for the
treatment of the Boss ores, as soon
as the plant in Los Angeles has
been completed, the ore will be
crushed and sampled at the mine.
and then shipped to Los Angeles for
treatment. By this arrangement
there will be a great saving to the
company in freight rates, and the
favorable contract made with the
chemical company for the acid will
be a big item in the profits that
will ultimately accrue to the mine.
Mr.. Fisk will be gone for sew
eral days, but in his absence work
at the mine will be vigorously pro-
secuted on the new strike.-Good-
springs Gazette.

ELECTRICIAN IS
KILLED BY SHOCK
RED HILL FLORENCE NINE Is
SCENE OF FATAL
ACCIDENT

Ewing Folsom, electrician at the
Red Hill Florence mine, was cleo
tricuted at s o'clock last night in
the mine compressor house. He
was instantly killed while engaged
in connecting highly-charged wires
to a rs h.. p. motor, having picked
up the bare terminals of wires con-
tanning about $50 volts. Taking
one terminal in each hand he re-
ceived the full current through his
chest and across his heart.
DR.. Turner worked over him for
one hour and 35 minutes, but was
unable to revive him. The only ex-
PLANTATION for the accident that has
been given is that Ewing neglected
to turn off the current before start
ing to make the connections.
The dead man is survived by a
wife, a daughter of Mrs. Richards.
proprietor of the Nevada hotel, and
one child.

Mines MAINTAINING
GOOD RESULTS IN DEEP WORK

lateral drifts and a little more
quartz is showing in the north drift
on the 200 level. The Andes from
the 350-foot level saved 13S cars of
ore averaging $500 per ton. At
the Combination shaft repairs were
made, and work is under way re-
moving the pumps, electrical connec-
tions, transformers and pump col
umn.
The Sierra Nevada continues to ad-
vance the work of cleaning out the
north drift on the $500 level, and in
the northwest drift at a point near
the old stope, took out some ore
which was stored in the stope. On
the $500 level the northwest drift
was advanced to the 57-foot point,
and the face is in quartz and por-
phry. The Jackson company sent
$50 tons of ore to the gloryhole from
the shaft and from the surface tun-
mel workings saved SAT cars of ore.
Alterations continued at the mill

RICH GOLD FIND
BEING EXPLORED
ORE TAKEN FROM NEW ~
COVERY Is OF EACEEi~
INGLY HIGH GRADE

C.. L.. Osterland, Mike sullivan
and A.. T. Tully of this city are In
terested in what is declared to be
the biggest gold strike ever made
in Nevada in recent years. Assays
have been taken from the proper
ties which will assay better than
$780, 600 to the ton. The report of
the sensational find is creating
considerable excitement in the
southern part of the state n pre-
dictions are freely offered that the
sporadic booms of 10 years ago
may be repeated in that section.
The rich discoveries were located
last fall by Sullivan and Tully, the
presence of gold ores of phenomen-
al richness near the surface attract
ing their attention. The properties
have since been developed on a
limited scale the last eight months.
The locators were handicapped in
opening up the mineral zone
through lack of funds and succeed
ed in interesting Osterland in the
proposition.
The property has hardly been
touched up to date. There is am
pie water and plenty of timber, and
conditions are said to be ideal for
a permanent camp. 1t is situated
about IS miles west of ,TOnopah.
The ground is now being worked by
Tonopah capitalists under bond and
lease.
j. H. Goodman, a McGill 9
chant: Steve Pappas, the discover
err of Willow Creek, and F. j. Syl-
vester, a former resident of Ely,
control what is known as the Good
man group. Here there is a shaft
down 100 feet. Samples of rich
gold-silver ores have been exhibited
here and are said to come from this
property. The stockholders have
purchased a 10-stamp mill, and it
is expected that it will be shipped
from Tonopah within the next ten
days.
The formation of the district is
porphyry and lime. There are many
quartz assures and the richest
specimens exhibited here show the
ore clinging to or making through
the quartz. The main gold vein
has been traced to open cuts for a
distance of several hundred feet.
A consignment from the Liberty
Loan property-less than half a
ton-was sent to Salt Lake, and
gave returns better than 81 a

SAILORS OF NEVADA
NEW YORK WORKING WOMEN
DEVOTE TIME TO BENZ
FIT OF JACKIES

The sailors of the b~attleship Ne
vada are not going to lack for
sweaters and other warm knitted
things. The Butterick Publishing
company's unit of the Navy league
has undertaken to knit 879 sweaters

own time, will do the knitting.
The 700 ONE in the Butterick
unit have just finished knitting 1913
sweaters for the crews of the tor
pedo boat d~estroyers Benham and
Jarvis. Six hundred of these have
never done any knitting before but
learned in two lessons.
The sweaters were put On exhi-
bition in the building on a huge
frame surrounded by flags of the
allies and lighted by red. white and
blue electric lights. The name of
the knitter was sewed to each
sweater and many of the girls had

C0PPERM|NES WILL
TREAT BIG TONNAGE
CONTRACTS ARE MADE FOR
HANDLING LARGE QAUN-
Titles OF ORE

Having made a contract with the
Nevada Consolidated to mine and
treat 425,OOO tons of ore during
the period ending August Is, 1918,
for the account of the Coppermines
company, the stockholders of that
corporation are exceedingly joyful.
They are chortling in their glee.
Through an agreement entered
between the two companies, the
Guggenheim interests agree to han
die after August 1918 at last 49,
600 tons a year and as much
as the operations of the Liberty pit
will warrant for a period of five
years.
The Nevada concern will also
treat at it's Steptone plant all con-
mines company and it's high-grade
direct smelling ores up to a total
tonnage of $500 ton a month for
a period of five years from May 1,
1917.
The rates have been worked out
on a sliding basis.
The Consolidated Coppermines
company is now mining and treat
ing in it's own 500-ton concentrating
plant at the rate of $4,000 tons a
month. A second unit is in course
of construction, and it is antici-
pated that it can be placed in oper-
alton about the end of the month.
This will double the capacity of the
plant.-White Pine News.

BUCKSk|N MINE
NOW OPERATING
HUMBOLDT COUNTY PROPERTY
SITUATED NEAR RICH Ma
TIONAL PRODUCERS

Senator w. ]. Bell returned
Monday from a trip of inspection to
the property of the Buckskin Ma
tional Mining company. He reports
that operations have started on the
Gayer & Defenbaugh lease, located
on the Norman Bell No. 1 claim,
one of the company's group. This
leased block is situated some dis
lance north of the lease, which
shows large bodies of ore
Gayer and Defenbaugh have Sc
cured sufficient funds to go ahead
and open their block of ground and
electric machinery to be used in
development work has been ship
ped from Denver and is expected to
arrive any day. From this place
it will be hauled to the property.
The Buckskin National is situat-
ed on the southern end of the Ma
tional district and about three miles
from the famous property of the
National Mines company, which has
produced millions in bullion from
the richest high-grade gold ore yet
found in the west and is still pro-
ducing. The Buckskin National
company has accomplished enough
development work to prove that they
also have a wonderfully rich gold
mine.
The company has a shaft down
over 400 feet and there is at least
1900 feet of drifting on the diff
ferent levels, which mostly follow
the main vein. In nearly all these
workings a good grade of milling
ore is exposed and in some places
ore showing native silver and free
gold is uncovered. In doing this
work the company extracted con-
siderable extremely high-grade ore
of the same character as that pro-
duced in National mine workings.
In the Hatch lease, which is To-
Gated some 5000 feet north of the
company's workings, there is also
a fine showing of ore, both of the
milling and high-grade varieties.
Senator Bell was accompanied to
and Norman, the latter, who is sup
~erintendent of the property, remain
ing there to oversee operations.
Senator Bell stated that there
was considerable snow in that sec
ton of the National range, but they
had no trouble in reaching the camp
by Observation-Disclosures Star.

COPPER ORE FOUND
At SLIGHT DEPTH
GOODSPRINGS NINE CUTS VEIN
IN RAISE FROM
TUNNEL

A strike of much Importance was
made this week on the Copper Side,
which is under lease to T. j. Rem
aux, foreman of the Yellow Pine
mill, and o. F. Schwartz. While
running a raise from the tunnel
on the property to meet the shall
low shaft sunk some time ago, a
small stringer dipping into the
mountain was encountered at a
depth of about 25 feet from the
surface. Mr.. Schwartz followed up
this stringer, which soon widened
into a three-foot ledge of copper
glance and cuprite azurite, which
assays across the face 40 per cent
in copper. A piece of the ore was
on exhibition at Fayle's store We'd
nesday night. 1t weighed 95 pounds
by the scales, and is one of the
prettiest speciments Of copper ore,
shot through as it was with axurite
and glance, that the writer has ever
had the pleasure of viewing.
Two tons of the ore vas taken
out from the ledge in one day by
Mr.. Schwartz, and work is to be
prosecuted vigorously in order to
make an immediate carload ship
ment to the smelter. Already sew
eral small lots have gone to the
Jensen sampler from the property,
but the latest strike is the best that
has yet been made on the ground

ORE RUNNING HIGH
IN GALENA FOUND
BELIEVED NINE WILL SOON BE
SELF-SUPPORT-
ING

Coincident with the incorporation
of the Lucky Maid Mining COM
pany, work has been started on the
property and will be actively push
ed forward. Mr.. Thomas Clark is
now on the ground, and work on
the tunnel to cut the ledge at $50
feet below it's apex is expected to
give the company not only good
stopping ground, but will materially
facilitate handling the ore.
Last week a party headed by Mr..
Clark and DR.. Roy Martin, vice.
president of the company, visited
the claims, and samples taken from
the ledge, which is reported to be
fifty feet wide, run very high in
galena-picked specimens assaying
as high as SO per cent. Excellent
samples of black jack were also
exhibited by the party upon their
return.
Treasury stock is now being sold
under the auspices of R. T. Leo
nards and Company of Las Vegas,
the returns from which will be
used in prosecuting the work as
rapidly as possible. The property
has great possibilities and it's direc-
torate is one of the strongest in the
district. Little difficulty is anti
cipated in securing the funds with
which to push forward the work
to a point where shipments of ore
will take care of the development
