The Red Hill has exposed for a
distance of 20 feet an 1s-inch ore
shoot assaying as high as $40. The
average value of the ore is much
lever, but assays. ot~from $40 to
$15 are obtained frequently. This
ore is in the 450-foot south drift
on the 500-foot level and is far be-
yond the east-west fallt north of
the Red Hill shaft that had been
supposed to mark the ore limit.
After the length of the shoot has
been determined raising will be
started toward more favorable
level for the deposition of ore in the
Red Hill and Florence ground.

nected with this fault is now the

JUDGE AvER|LL CLEARS
MINING CASE DECISION
DID NOT MEAN ASSESSMENT
WOIiK ON EACN' IXDiN'D-
CAL CLAIM

An article on decision rendered
by Judge Mark r. Averih of Tono-
pah appeared in the Tribune of July
%, credited to the Reno Journal.
The decision involved assessment
work on mining claims and in the
article the statement was made:
"ShoGId the court decide III favor
of Love, as it did formerly, it viii
mem that all concerns holding a
group of claims must 10 their work
on each individual claim and that
the prosecution of work sa one Of 4
group does not constitute assess
ment work for the group or num-
ber held by corporations or private
citizens"
Judge Averill, in letter to the
Tribune, explains the matter as fol-
lows: 1.-The article does not state
the facts or the conclusions reached.
The case was tried before a jury,
which decided that of the eight
claims in dispute three had been
legally held by the Mt. Oddie COM
pany by means of assessment work
done in a shaft 10 feet deep on one
of it's most westerly claims and
that one required no assessment
work. The jury decided tina. the
work in the shaft was sufficient in
quantity to constitute assessment
work for the four eastermost claims
tut manifestly did not tend to de-
yejop them. The rule is as fol-
lows:
The work performed or i'm
provements made upon one claim
to constitute assessment work or an

H. G. Mcmahon. secretary-treas-
urer for the <Goldfield Development
company, will leave this evening
for New York, where he will join A..
/. Darcy, vice president and gem
eral manager, to close negotiations
by which the company is to receive
100000 in additional funds to
those now in the treasury. This
money will be used irf increasing
the capacity of the mill to 1000
tons daily and in mine development
which will have no connection with
the plans fof the company to mine
low-grade ore in the Combination
and Red Top.
Both the Combination and Red
Top are in condition to start pro.
ducing on large scale and as soon
as the deal has been closed in New
York new mine development will be
undertaken. Much of this will be
done in the Jumbo toward the

BEING PR0SPtCTED
AND CROSS VEINS BE-
ING EXPLORED ON THE
SURFACE

The Washington Gold Quartz is
exploring the surface of the claims
owned by the company in the Gold
Mountain district, south Of Gold
field, and considerable work has
been done in exploring the contact
vein striking east and the cross
veins entering it from both the
north and south The contact vein
has been exposed for depth of
from q few feet to 20 over a dis
tance of 5000 feet and assays of
from $40 to $240 have been Sc
cured.
The vein striking east lies rather
flat and the cross veins are nearly
vertical. On the Randolph No. 2
claim a tunnel is to be started in
the contact vein to cut under the
ore exposed on the surface and also
to explore the cross veins at their
intersection with the main ore
channel. For every 200 feet 1t is
driven the tunnel will give depth
of 100 feet on the vein.
1t is planned to work two shifts
of miners as soon as they can be
employed economically and housing
facilities furnished.

The east crosscut from the Nelli-
gan shaft has been advanced AZ
feet since the last report of the
Lone Star, making total of ASS
feet from the station. There were
several important changes found in
this work. The big dacite dyke
was cut and the face is in an al
tered andesite which is the forma-
ton the vein is in on the surface

A crosscut was started this month
80 feet from the station to prospect
the silicified dyke from which the
Patrick lease shipped 100000 worth
of ore. There is we'll defined vein
in this dyke and the crosscut should
intersect the downward extension
of the Patrick lead. This vein was
we'll prospected on the upper levels,
but no work has been done at this
depth, and good results are ex-
pected.
The north drift on the SIS foot

driven 20 feet. making total of
SO feet from the station This drift
continues in low grade iuartz.~
A drift has been driven 1 " feet

PROMINENT EXPERTS
VISIT SIMON MINES
LUCKY BOY MINE TO BE RE-
0FfENRD ACCORDING
TO REPORT

MI Charles e. Knox, well known
Nevada mining operator, visited
Nina and the Simon district yester-
day. In company with several of
the local mine owners, he was
shown over some of the leading
properties, and was much impressed
with the advances made in the dis
trict since his previous visit here
Before leaving for the coast, he
said that the extent and richness of
the orebody at the Simon Silver
Lead mine was unique in his expert
ence and was without parallel in the
history of Nevada.
OF the Simon-Fagan group, Mr..
Knox stated that he had never seen
anything to equal it's surface show
ings. After examining the shaft
and drifts, as we'll as the open cuts
and trenches, he said that evidences
of chemical action and teaching
were so clear and unmistakable that
values at depth were practically GER
tain, and predicted the finding OF
large sulphide bodies at no great
depth.
I'm conclusion" he said, Il fully
expect to see the SimOn-Fagan mine
become one of the largest and best
mines of the district"
Within the past month the Simon
Pagan has been examined by repre-
sentatives of the Anaconda Copper
company, the American Metals COM
pany and Hayden, Stone & Com
pany, and tempting offers to buy
have been turned down by the pres
ent mana cement, who believe that
Developments of the near future
will be well worth striving for.
This condition is accentuated by
the fact that within the past fort
night, two rich new bodies have
been uncovered at widely separ-
ated points on the Pagan ground.
The Morris brothers are in town
for few days from their lease on
the property of the Montgomery
Mercury company near Queen Sta
tion on the narrow gauge railroad
southwest of Nina. In the last 20
days, these two men. working abso-
lutely alone have mined, retorted
and shipped IL TASKS of mercury.
They are making plans for in
creased production in the near fu-
ture.
1t is stated on good authority
that the famous Lucky Boy mine,
which in the past has been big
producer, is about. to be reopened.

pany of the tungsten mines ana
mill of l.. A. Friedman and asso-
ciates near Mill City has called re-
newed attention to the diversified
mineral resources of Pershing
county. In addition to mines pro-

metals. there are many of the rarer
metals, as well as gem stones. found

But few miles from where Mr..
Loring and the Smelter interests
have invested over million dollars
in tungsten-much of it at time
when there is practically no market
for that metal--Jack Welch is open
ing up at Majuba Hill what may
prove to be the only pay lode tin
mine on the American continent. Ore
assaying as high at 68 per cent in
tin has been found here. but it has
not been developed in commercial
quantities as yet. Both high and
low grade copper ores, carrying tin
is now being mined and marketed
but the tin attracts special atten-
tion on account of it's high grade
and rarity.
A. G. Burritt, a prominent min
ing engineer and geologist of Salt
Lake City, has called attention to
another unusual product of Perish
ing county which he examined last
deposit of kieselguhr, four miles
from the camp of Velvet on the
road to Seven Troughs. kieselguhr,
according to Mr.. Burritt, has va
riety of uses. 1t makes a good
floor filling, being resistant to heat
and cold. and it is also used for
sink and bathtub Innings. A sink
that is rusty, when refined with
kieselguhr is made as good as new.
1t is also used for polishing silver
ware, which it does without scratch
ing or marring. 1T is possible that
the long truck haul to the railroad
will prevent the profitable work
ing of this deposit at this time, but
that it will one day be very valu-
able Mr. Burritt does not doubt.

varied from 45c off to rise of 25c.
1t was the generally accepted est-
mate beforehand that the govern

stantial increase of the yield of corn
