.McCRACKEN SILVER
 LEAD SHOWING
 BIG LEAD VALUES

During the past week the McCrack- en Silver-Lead company received re- turns from a carload of lead ore that netted $24l1. The lead value contain ed in the ore was 729 per cent. It also contained about five ounces sil- yer. This was one of the best cars that has been shipped from the prop erty the ore being raw and not assort- ed. The mill has been running on good ore and another set of tables have been put in, which brings the tonnage to double the old capacity. There have been several minor acci- dents that have kept the mill from do- ing it's best work, but these troubles will soon be obviated. Samples taken from the south end of the Otsega claim gave about 50 per cent lead and over 75 ounces silver. This part of the mine has never been disturbed, but it is expected that some work will be done on the new discovery soon. At another point the company expects to be able to pick up the rich ore shoot that was operated some years ago. A miner who worked on the old shoot is expected at the mine to give the management line on the shoot and to do some prospecting for other shoots that are believed to be of importance. The work on the big ore shoot indi- cates that it will soon form a junction with the large shoot that was opened farther to the north. Should these two shoots come together it should form one of the biggest bodies the property has ever known.
 What the McCrackken Silver-Lead mines need is a big treasury and a campaign of development that will bring depth of close to the 1000 level and thousands of feet of lateral work, which We believe would give it one of the greatest silver-lead properties in the state.

DEVELOPMENT WORK
 PROGRESSING ATRURAL

The crosscut from the 170 level of the Buckeye mine that is being driven toward the Rural has been in ore the past several days that would indicate the extension of the big ore shoot from the Rural. Some of the ore is exceptionally high grade and the whole of the "A inches that now shows in the drift is of milling values. When the vein was entered some time ago the filling was largely of granite, but this is being replaced rapidly with ore, the granite going out as progress is made toward the Rural. The main tunnel on the Buckeye has been driven eastward and is now in full face of good mill ore with indications that the high grade may be encountered at any time. The property is being op- erated by about 30 men at present, and this force will be added to as progress is made. Everywhere that openings have been made in either new or old ground ore carrying high mill values have been found. So far the tonnage opened up is far in excess of the expectations of the manage ment. With the connection of the drifts with the old Rural workings and the sinking of the main shaft to new levels a mill of large capacity will be needed to handle the big tonnage. Aside from the rich shipping ore this property is sure to develop one of the biggest milling propositions in the country.

CERBAT TRANSFORMATION DEVELOPMENT AND
 DRAINAGE TUNNEL

We have heretofore made frequent note of the Cerbat Transportation, De- velopment and Drainage Tunnel, but
 it will bear further special mention by way of recording the progress of a live and growing reality, wonderful
 undertaking, destined we believe to
 leaven the rich Cerbat Range from
 dormant mills, workings and unde- veloped properties, into a system of active, producing and paying mines, having for the common access and outlet this underground roadway draining them, supplying them, ven- tilating them, and transporting their combined production, with cheapness and dispatch, to its portal for treat ment and convenient shipment.
 It is not a new discovery, but an "Old Find" which mining engineers have long remarked upon; whose pos abilities mine operators have comput- ed and dreamed over; and mining seers have made the subject of gold en prophecies.
 Why, then, is suggested the query, has it lain untouched, while for gen. eration men have crossed and re- crossed it; traversed its course times without number; toiled and delved to unearth its treasures; given their best years and lavished thousands to de- yelop the great lodes and bring forth the wealth along it's way? Because, like the mountains themselves, such large things do not come to men. They are deaf to words; they will not respond to speculation; nor make dreams come true; nor fulfill proph- ecies-men must go to them--and to this one in particular. It has simply been waiting the coming of the right man, and he is on the job. But to the project.
 Mining in any way yields but nig- gardly to individual effort, and even organization and capital fail, when el- ovation, deep shafting, timber short age, imprisoned waters, refractory and low grade ores, and attendant diff ficulties, combined with the rockrib- bed hills in frustrating their plans and absorbing their funds. Under such conditions, the individual is prac tically helpless, while organization and capital, at best, can develop only limited number of veins or systems of veins, and then but the richest n value and greatest in deposits. Large stretches of mineral territory remain untouched. This is especially true where low values, united with other difficulties, render surface or shaft mining prohibitive. And although al so true that surface operations are often the only resort-the mineralized sections being limited, and separated by long intervals of intervening conn- try, and hence unadapted to conven- tent and profitable tunnel develop ment and mining-this situation does not obtain as to the Cerbats. They 1 are compact and rich throughout. The veins and systems of veins, which are numerous and large and close to- gether, cross them at right angles. The tunnel runs with the range, thus penetrating all veins along its course. The method of development and min ing is therefore simple. It needs no sxplanation-drifting ,upraising, stop ng, transportation down grade to the mill for treatment and to the railroad

OLD PROSPECTOR DIES

w. L. Brooks, who was located near Temple Bar during the boom days in that property, died at St. Thomas last month. MT. Brooks has prospected over the country in and around the Virgin and Boulder Canyon noun tains the past twenty years or more and was interested in mines between St. Thomas and the Colorado river at the time of his death. He was a fine old gentleman and had many friends among the old timers in this county.

the vein, while the Star had a vein that carried values into the thousands. The Blue Boy was not sunk to any great depth, the owner being of the impression that if he came in contact with the other vein he would lose his property, as the Star was the older location. The two veins are now em- braced in the patented property and it is now probable that it will make big shipper.
