COMO PROPERTY
HAS RICH ORE
THAT ARE OF GREAT M
PORTANCE

Two strikes of considerable mag
nitude and Importance were made on
the property of the Como Consol:-
dated Mining company al Como, IL
miles from Dayton. early this week,
the confirmation Of the first report
being brought to Reno last night by
Guerney Gordon and DR.. c. T. Starr,
who vent to the mine Tuesday in re-
Spouse to a sent in by
their foreman.
Gordon and Starr brought in sam
pies from both strikes. Ore from
one of the discoveries is free pan-
ming, and Gordon estimates that It
will assay on an average of $50
per ton. A panning of a handful Of
the ore made by Gordon showed a
string of glittering flake gold. The
strike was made at a depth of so
feet in the south drift of what is
known as the Miller shaft. The
ledge at the point from which the
samples were taken is four feet in
width. The values are carried in a
decomposed formation.
The other strike is found in ore
substantial looking quartz at a depth
of 115 feet. Six feet of ore on hat
level showed assay returns of $50 in
gold, 35 ounces in silver and 10 per
cent copper. 1t is an entirely new
ledge, parallels the main Como ledge
and lies about 60 feet to the north
of It.
Since the consolidation Of various
properties in the Como district was
effected last fall under the name of
the Como Consolidated, seven men
have been employed. Included in
the estate of the company are the
properties of what formerly were
the Peer. Lucky Sunday and Nevada
Deep Mines companies. Much of
the stock of those companies is held
by local parties and transfers will
be made soon.
Guerney Gordon. one of the best
known mining men in the state, is
president of the new company and
j. w. Davey of the Rem National
bank is secretary. The directors
are DR.. c. T. Starr, Clyde Garrett
and Harry Cutler, all well-knowa
Reno men
Gordon said last night that os
soon as the road from the mine to
Dayton will permit, ore shipments
will be started. The force of men
at the mine also will be augmented.
Gordon and Starr drove to Dayton
and from that place made the trip

In discussing the strike Gordon
said that it proved better in some
respects than indicated by the origi-
nal reports received from the mine
a short time ago.
IT'S beginning to look like a
real NINE" said Gordon, land | feel
very much encouraged over 1t. The
inspection made by DIR. Starr and
myself verified the original reports,
and in some respects proved better
than we expected.
THE Como Consolidated owns
some goo acres ot n,inHrel lan1 in
the - III. uisLrItt The old Como
vein, as is well known, produced
from it's upper levels something like
D1UU,UUU. Inc pItoCHt No'SioP
ments would indicate that there is
a strong possibility of opening up
extensive bodies of ~high-grade ore
on Como Consolidated property hat
will equal that production. The ore
bodies opened up on the 115 level of
the Nevada Deep Mines vein and the
high-grade vein encountered on the
Lucky Sunday are very encouraging.
"Our property is fully equipped
with electric pumping and hosting
facilities. There also is a complete
milling plant on the property, IN
GLIDING a ten-stamp mill, tube mills
and a complete cyaniding plant. !
don't believe the equipment could
be replaced for $50, 0O."-Reno
