LEAStRS WORKING
TOO CLOSE MINE
WINNEMUCCA MOUNTAIN PROP
ERTY TO RECEIVE SYSTEM
ATTIC DEVELOPMENT

Steve Morse and James Mahoney,
well-known mining men, have taken
a lease on the property owned by
John Varagas and AL Wagner on
the east slope of Winnemucca noun
tain. Work has been started on the
lease and good ore is being extract
ed for shipment.
This estate is called the Too Close
property and is situated only two
and a half miles from Winnemucca
and has been under development for
a number of years and from general
reports nice bodies of ore are e.
posed in a number of workings. One
tunnel on the property is in lao
feet and another fifty feet, both
showing good ore. Another tunnel
located further up the hill is in a
considerable distance and has a
winze on the vein. In both these
workings there are ore showings,
besides along the surface there are a
number of open cuts and shallow
pits that expose the vein for a long
distance.
In speaking with Mr.. Vargas, one
of the owners, he stated that in one
of the workings the vein shows a
width of about Is feet with the
ore averaging over $40 to the ton.
Where the vein is smaller there is
much ore of the shipping grade,
some of which assays as high as
$40 to the ton in gold and silver
values.
Mr.. Vargas states that he has ap-
plications for other leases on the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

TULON MILL WILL
SOON BE STARTED

According to the local office OF
the Humboldt County Tungsten
company the mill at Tulon Will
probably resume operations the end
of this month.
The mill was closed down several
weeks ago because of the difficulty
in having ore hauled from the mines
at Ragged Top, due to the road
conditions which attended the win
ter weather.
A large force of men are at work
on the mine, and several of the ore
bodies are looming larger than ever
with ore of a good grade. Develop
ment work on the property is con-
tinuing and the new machinery is
being worked with success.-Love-

LA T0SKA NINE HAS
EXCELLENT SHOWING
OPERATIONS BEING PROSECUT-
ED WITH VIGOR SEVEN
DAYS WEEK

What may prove to be the main
ore body of the Humboldt CONSOLE,
dated La Toska mine, at Wright's
canyon neal here, has been cut for
a distance of ten feet, according to
reports from the property this week.
The local manager reports the most
encouraging progress in the history
of the six years of effort to cut, more
than 1900 feet below the surface of
Indian peak, a vein carrying high
values which we're proved on the
surface.
The hematite of iron formation
reported last week has changed to
a carbonate of iron formation and
the stringers which were fairly fire.
quent have widened out and %increas-
ed in their mineral value. Progress
in development this week pointed
not only to high values, but the pos
sibility that the vein is the one
which will be the main ore body, in
which case it affords economical min
ing of a huge deposit extending from
the tunnel to the top of the peak,
more than 1900 feet above.
Miners are busily engaged prose-
cutting work on the property, and
frequent assays r being taken.
So far, the work is now 100 feet
beyond the United States surveyors
last survey, drifting almost due east.
By survey, the main north and
south assure should be cut soon at
a point giving a depth of 1345 feet
of vein from the point of cutting.
One of the stringers cut recently
assayed $369.25 in gold and $3.79
in silver content.
Double shifts. working sever days
a week, are being worked at the
mine, and now that the worst of the
cold weather is over, the progress is
more rapid than for some time. =

Combined Mines
Developments on the Combined
property are of a sensational nature.
The crosscut through the Shepherd
vein has exposed ore for nearly 100
feet hat ranges from Sc to $45 per
ton. A drift to the south along the
hanging-wall for over 100 feet has
all been in good ore, the entire face
a few days ago sampling better than
$40 per ton. All ore extracted from
this drift is said to give an average
better than $40 a ton. 1t is esti-
mated that over $4,000 tons of ore
are now in sight. This and other
development in which important
showings have been made is being
pushed with machine drills run by
an air compressor that was installed
about three weeks ago. The con-
tract for the first 30O-ton unit of a
mill has been let and this is ex-
pected to be in operation by Novem-
