MERGER OF COPPER
MINES IS PLANNED
PROPERTIES IN YELLOW PINE
DISTRICT INVOLVED
IN DEAL

During his visit here a week ago,
j. r. Allen, millionaire promoter of
San Francisco, spent several days
looking over the promising copper
prospects of the camp. OF those
visited the Red Streak and the Cop
persides impressed him most favor
ably, and before his departure he
obtained an option on the c%ontroll-
ing interest of the stock Of the Red
Streak Mining company.
Mr.. Allen is expected to return
here almost any day now and In
case the deal goes through his plan
10 to consolidate the two properties
and do some big development work,
But even though the deal pending
does not materialize, it is a matter
CT extreme satisfaction to the loyal
boosters of the camp that outside
capital Is beginning to realize that
we have in the Yellow Pine district
properties worthy of extensive de-
velopment.
Both the Red Streak and the Cop.
persides would be termed as little
more than prospects by technical
men but at that they are prospects
which have in the last six months
produced many thousands of dollars
worth of high-grade copper ore. Re.
turns just received on a small cal
shipped several weeks ago give as.
says of 22.86 per cent copper. The
dry weight was 5000 pounds and
| settlement was made on an aver
age of 1876 per ton. Gross re-
ceipts amounted to $2,497.SS. The
freight came to $236.74 and the
government freight tax of 3 pei
cent made an additional $40 whic.1
gave net return of $~2,254.04.
During the past week two experts
representing Breeland and Dunlap
we'll known promoters, visited the
Red Streak property but, as is the
mysterious custom of mine experts
departed silently and unostenta.
tiously, without voicing any opin'
ions.
The big vein of r in the High
Line continues and development on
the Red Streak claim opened ur

MAKES PAYMENT ON COAL
CANYON Potash MINE

|
The Lovelock Review-Miner says
the first payment on the big potash
property eight miles northeast of
Lovelock, for which a deal had bee 1
made last fall by eastern capital,
was placed in the bank there last
week, according to H. H. Hunter.
Jr., who engineered the transaction.
The owners are j. c. Smith, Karl
offers, Herman Marker and Ed. F.
Hunter.
The property consists of six claims
and lays at the mouth of Coal caL
yon, forming the south wall of the
entrance to the canyon. Mining and
milling conditions are almost ideal
and the analysis of the rock shows
a high percentage of potash. Elk
periments have been carried on fol-
some time by the buyers to deter
mine the solubility of the potash
content, and while no statement is
slven out, the fact that they are
putting up the cash proves that they
have been successful.
Announcement of when work w!ll
be started has not yet been made.
but it is expected that development
will be begun very soon.
