STRIKE REPORTED
AT NEW DOMINION
NEW SHAFT SAID TO BE IN
ORE FROM GRASS
ROOTS

One of the most interesting
strikes of recent date was that
made this week on the Handy Andy
claim of the New Dominion group.
A vein forty reet wide has been
exposed for 500 or coo feet and
the end is not yet in sight. The
shaft is down 80 feet and is in
ore from the grass roots. Assays
from this huge ledge give two and
three per cent copper, while the
many stringers of high grade run
ming through it go from fifteen
to 35 per cent, which makes an
average sorted ore of about Is
per cent copper.
Six shafts are being sunk in the
vicinity and if the ore body is as
extensive as it appears to be, the
plan of the company is to put in
a mill and mine the r by the
steam shovel process, producing a
high-grade concentrate for ship
ping.
The formation is an unusual n
for this district and is apparently
an altered diorite. This big dixie
running through the limestone for
nation was a homogeneous mass
of rock, and in the mixing the par
ticles of copper sulphide were dis
seminated throughout, resembling
Utah Copper except for that the
sulphide particles here are coarser
than those of the Utah Copper.
AS depth is attained this may yet
prove to be a porphyry. If the
vein holds out the old workings
from which twenty-five cars have
been shipped since the first of the
year, will probably be abandoned
and all efforts put forth on the
new location, as a big tonnage of
low-grade milling ore is the aim
of the company.
The work is under the manage
ment of Johnnie Carter, the desert
rat de luxe, and acknowledged to
be one of the canniest mining men
in the district. - Goodsprings Ga

Loyelock to examine the recent
potash strike here, according to

Since the original rush there
have been few new locations, but
q continual stream of samples to

those who have taken up claims.
Returns, So far, indicate that
the ground already staked out
will, for the most part, run from

commercial grade to warrant the
belief that a new and big industry
may spring up within a short dis
lance of the city limits. Those
who have claims are so far refus-

and although it is known that
several offers have been made,
there have so far been none of

COALITION HAS
new DISCOVERY
REPORTS TELL OF ACTIVITY
AT ROCHESTER, AND
SEVEN TROUGHS

The north drift on the S00-foot
level of the Rochester Mines COM
pany on the Adams vein has now
been advanced a total distance or
IT'S feet all the way in good ore.
The vein at the present time is a
little better tnan eight feet wide.
Stopping along this entire distance
has been started and a big tonnage
will be available within a short
time from this level. The Wine,
which a started from the SOO-
foot level some time ago, has been
continued again and is down a
depth of ~thirty-two feet in a good
grade of ore. The ore is increas-
ing in value as depth is attained.
From indications the drift on
the 9OO-foot level did not en-
counter the continuation of the rich
oreshoot which was cut on the 800
foot level. A station has been
cut on the 1100-foot level where
plans are made to start cross-cut-
ting on the Adams vein as soon as
the winze, which is being driven
between the 500 foot and 900
foot levels has been connected up.
All other working places are pro-
ducing the usual amount of ore.
Drift No. 2 in the working tun-
mel of the Rochester Combined
Mines has advanced thirty feet to
the south during the week. Drift
No. 3 has advanced seventeen feet
to the north. Both of these drifts
are in excellent ore. Raise No. l
from the main drift has advanced
forty-five feet on me hanging
wall.
The main drift in the working
tunnel has passed the 3OO-foot
ozark. The last assay on the face
of this drift gave returns of thirty
nine ounces silver and $2.52 god
per ton. Link No. 8 cross-cNt has
advanced to date, fifty feet.
The Maynaugh tunnel is being
advanced at the rate of seven feet
per day, and the Happy Jack shaft
is being sunk at the rate of five
feet per day in excellent ore. A
new winze was started yesterday on
the twelve-foot vein in the Kroner
tunnel. The ore extracted from
this property by Kroner, which is
on the dumps now, averages So per
ton.
The framing of mill timber for
the new mill is under way. The
company has 100000 feet of lum-
Der on the ground and at the
Southern Pacific station. The
100, gallon water tank, which
is being installed above the mill,
will be completed by the end of
this week.
During the past week owe 100
pounds of high grade was ex-
tracted in the stope on the 700
foot level of the Seven Troughs
Mining company's mine. The main
drift from the winze on the 500

are prepared to take over a number
of mining properties if the ores can
be worked by a milling process, and
enough tonnage of such ores can be
obtained in this district to justify

strikes ever made on the Seven

day noon when two feet of high
grade ore, assaying 1892 a ton was
opened. At this time it is i'm

lions of the surrounding territory.
it will probably open up to be the
largest and richest oreshoot thus

Union Organization Celebrated

On July 4. 1867. the Virginia
City Miners union was formally or
ganized and on July 4 this year
there was a big golden jubilee ceie-
bration on the Comstock. Peace and
harmony has been the record OF
the union since its organizat on.
During the boom days the union had
a membership of over 1000 and dur
ing the half century 1t has been in
existence it is estimated that over
s5O0,000 has been paid out in death
and sick benefits The original roll
of members is still in existence and

very encouraging, however, as this
new find demonstrates the posi-
bilities of this property at depth.
Buckeye-BelmOnt
Drifting to the southeast was
continued at the Buckeye-Belmont
property during the week, and a
good rate of progress was main
tanned during the five working
days of the week. The drift is

cutting in every direction in the

mine continues on a very satisfac-
tory scale, and the regular ton
nages, as shown in the figures of
Tonopah's weekly output, were
drawn from the slopes and sent to
the Belmont mill at Millers for
treatment.
Development work, on the other
hand, did not amount to so much
as is usually recorded, due part
ly to the fact that the holiday sea-
son INTERVIEWED, taking two days
out of the week. Raise 1 from
the back of B stope has been dis
continued temporarily, but work
was continued in the intermediate
east drift from A stope, which
broke through into another section
of that stope and extraction work
is now going on from the back of
the drift.
Rescue-Eula
The annual meeting of the Res
cue-Eula Mining company is to be
held on Monday, July 9th. A great
deal of interest is being manifested
on the part of the stockholders
of the corporation, and it is al
most certain that the meeting will
have almost a full representation,
in person or by proxy.
Conditions at the mine are most
excellent. The workings in 952
are proving up in the most salts
factory manner possible. and con
siderable citation is expressed by
the management over the present
showings. The winze and raise
work is making excellent progress,
