OPENED IN
DIVIDE EX.

The most important discovery
ever made in the Divide district is
reported by the Divide Extension,
where, in crosscut from 45-foot
shaft north of the main shaft from
10 to IL inches of ore assaying from
1000 to 1900 ounces silver has been
opened, with three feet assaying
from $35 to $40.
The importance of the find lies
in the fact that it was made outside
the main Divide vein, in an ore
channel striking almost at right an
giles to that in the Divide and
Brougher. 1t is believed the source
of enrichment was the same and
that the vein found in the Divide
Ex. intersects the Divide-Brougher
vein farther to the northwest than
any of the present workings OF the
Divide.
Crosscutting in ore is continuing
from the bottom of the 45-foot
shaft.

SIMON OREB0DY IS
125 FEET WIDE
ON 400 LEVEL
LEAD, SILVER AND GOLD CON-
TENT OF THE ORE
INCREASES

The crosseut on the 40O-foot level
of the Simon silver-lead mine had
penetrated the vein for a distance of
1876 feet yesterday without disclos-
ing the hanging wall. The zinc con-.
tent of the ore is reported to be
much lower on this level than on
the level above, with larger silver
and lead content. The ore on the
400-foot level also assays SO in gold,
while on the level above there was
practically no gold in the ore. 1t
is believed the zinc eventually will
disappear as depth is gained.
On the 3O0-foot level the ore
averaged II per cent zinc, 9 per
cent lead and six ounces silver. On
the 400-foot level the average is
5.5 per cent zinc, IL per cent lead,
81 ounces silver and from $1.20
to $3 gold.
1t is now the general opinion that
what was thought to be the hang
ing wall on the third level was a
horse" and it is planned to drive
into this to open the vein material
which should be found beyond. The
vein on the. 300-foot level, as now
exposed, is II feet wide and the
present 135-foot width on the 400
foot level leads to the belief that
false wall was found on the upper
level.
The greatest length of ore thus
far opened is on the 300-foot level,
where a crosscut driven west on the
hanging wall passed from the ore
shoot 140 feet from the main cross
cut, and where the east drift still is
in solid sulphide ore ia feet from
the main crosscut, making the total
length of the ore 254 feet.
No work has been done on the
upped levels since work was started
at depth of 409 feet, the efforts
of the management having been con-
centrated on driving the crosscut on
the lowest level.
The mine has three levels, the
240, 800 and 400. The width of
the ore on this first is 20 feet and
on this level drifts have been driven
100 feet east and west on the hang
ing wall, with the faces still in good
ore.

SIMON COMPANY
NEVADA SIMON OWNS CLAIMS
SOUTH OF BIG
BONANZA

A new company, officered by
prominent Nevada men, has entered
the Simon district, the big bonanza
silver-lead district in the Cedar
range, % miles east OF Nina. The
new organization is the Nevada ST.
mon Mines company, owing seven
claims south of the rich Simon mine,
which is rapidly developing into one
of the greatest mines ever opened in
the history of mining. The presi
dent CT the Nevada Simon is Lieu
tenant Governor Maurice j. Sullivan.
and the vice president is AlMcCoy
of Goldfield, known for his success
full ventures wherever there are
mines in the southern part of the
state.
Among the directors are II. c.
Heidtmann, a Reno merchant, and
w. J. Douglass, a mining man
widely known throughout Nevada.
A limited amount of treasury
stock will be sold in Goldfield and
Icnopah at 15 cents per share. The
sale of stock was started in Tonopah
few days ago and is reported to be
meeting with unusual success.

RED SHIRT OOMOHUE'S
OLD PARTNER BEATS
HIM TO MINE
PIONEERS MEET FOR FIRST
TIME IN FORTY
q YEARS

The worlds shortage of silver is
fast becoming reflected on the dis
|; tant crsEs and peaks throughout Ne
vada's vhst mineral belt. Once again
the hills and canyons of this state
are assuming the appearance of the
good old days" Once again the
whack, whack of the prospector's s
pick can be heard echoing through
gulches and deep canyons as piece
after piece of rich FLOAT" are being
broken in earnest endeavor to trace
it's origin which, when found has
often caused a mad rush and a city
to spring up as If by magic. Old
desert trails, made years ago by
the prospector and his burro and
grown over by sage-brush and cactus
are being re-opened and widened to
permit of travel with more modern
means of conveyance. The re-
pulsive horn-toad and lizard, which
for years have been the sole in
habitants of deserted silver camps
are now hieing themselves to other
quarters upon the re-entrance of
the miner.
To the early-day prospector comes
memories of what the silver-pro-
ducer refers to as "the crime of
|'73", or the demonetization of sill
yer, an act which greatly curtailed
the output of the white metal"
and brought about the total aban-
fdonment of many rich but almost
inaccessible silver mines.
1t was the memory of the old
"Silver Dollar mine'' that recently
caused Michael Cred Shirt'') Dono-
hue to pilot several prominent Tono-
pah and Goldfield mining men down
Lower Tule Canyon hoping against
hope to find the ground open for
relocation. Donohue, now aged and
bent. had quietly and confidentially
unfolded to his prospective partners
the history of tThe Silver Dollar"
He told them of the days when high
grade was taken out and hauled to
Austin, Nevada, with OK teams, al
most half a century ago. He related
to them his experience in working
out a "glory hole on the ground,
from which ore assaying thousands
of dollars per ton had been ex-
tracted and how, regardless of its
vast richness, the property was later
forsaken due to the dethronement of
king Silver"
Seated in high powered car and
ON the same trail he had travelled
years ago astride a. bnrro. Donohue
retraced his steps, plotting his
friends over the rich placer ground

BIG INTERESTS IN
DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY
THOUSAND DOLLARS In
TREASURY

During a recent trip to New York
of Harry G. Mcmahon, secretary and
treasurer for the Goldfield Develop
ment Company, he closed deal by
which a syndicate of prominent New
York men, headed by l.. E. Whicher,
purchased for cash a large interest
in the company, which places 1t in
financial condition to consummate
all the plans for mining the huge
tonnage of ore the company was
organized to handle. The deal also
takes into Goldfield further large
financial interests, who bought into
the Development Company following
report made by Walter Harvey
Weed, widely known mine geologist
Weeds report is said to have been
highly favorable and the optimism
of this eminent expert is considered
the best Endorsement the plans of
the company have received.
More than 100000 is now in the
treasury and application for listing
the stock on the San Francisco ex-
change was made yesterday. The
stock will be called on the exchange
as soon as the listing committee has
taken action, which should not re-
quire more than two weeks. Trading
in the shares of the company will
start simultaneously on the San
Francisco exchange and the New
York curb. Whicher and associ-
ates will also cooperate in handling
the market for the stock.
A metallurgist to take charge of
the mill arrived here this morning
to arrange for preparing the plant
for treating 1900 tons daily and
within a week or 10 days the minor
changes necessary to place it in con-
dition should he determined. A
large crew of men will then be put
to work. AS near as can be deter
mined now the plant will be ready
10 operate to capacity by July ],
and the mines will be in condition
to supply full tonnage by that
time.
The first ore will come from the
Red Top and January and will be
used to supply the mill until the
Combination has been placed in con-
dition for making an output. 1t
will be some time before the Com
bination workings are in condition,
as timber for use underground and
for construction of ore bins has not
arrived. However. it will not be
necessary to draw ore from the
Combination for a long time and the
mine will be ready for production
long before material from it is
needed.
Walter Harvey Weed is expected
to return here to examine the mines
again in two weeks.

RED HILL DRIFTS
SOUTH BEYOND
BIG FAULT
NUMBER OF WORKINGS BEING
3 ADVANCED IN NEW
TERRITORY

The south DRIFT on the 5CU-100t
level of the Red Hill Florence is
again being extended under direc-
tion of Harry G. Mcmahon, general
manager. This drift was first
started about one year ago and at
that time was driven $50 feet
Near the face, where a cave ex-
posed the vein for height of 20
feet above the drift. raise has
been started in low-grade ore. The
drift has been cleaned for the en-
tire length and timbered.
The cave near the face of the
drift exposed the vein better than
it showed in the drift and assays
of 81 were secured where the raise
was started.
A drift has. been started north on
the 150-foot level to cut vein
whose position has been determined
by other work. The south drift
on the 32O-foot level is again being
driven to prospect the Rogers vein
Although all work is being done
in the Rogers vein, it is in parts of
the vein heretofore unexplored
Four machine drills are being used
in the mine.
Development of the 60O-foot level
has been abandoned, as the work at
that depth, while it resulted in small
quantities of rich ore being opened.
failed to develop an orebody.
The work south of the shaft on
the 50O-foot level is of interest to
persons familiar with the Florence
and Red Hill territory, as it is be-
ing done south Of the east-west
fault in the Rogers vein and we'll
into territory in which an orebody
has never been FOUND. although ore
assaying s4o. SO and 500 has
been exposed in good quantity.
There is no reason why an ore
body should not be found south of
this fault, as the character of ore
is the same as in the rich ground to
the north, the general formation is
identical, and there is nothing in
connection with the fault to have
stopped the flow of solutions. The
vein is 20 feet wide at a depth of
500 feet and paintings of free gold
can be obtained from the surface
of the vein all through the territory
south of the fault The drift in
which work has been resumed is
the only working ever driven into
this part of the Rogers vein.
AS it has been generally believed
that ore could not be found south of
this fault, SO it was believed in the
early days of the development of
the Florence that ore would not be
found in the, andesite south of the
Florence shaft, although some of
the richest Florence leases were
opened later in this territory and the
rich Florence Divide lease. formerly
the Witt-Brandon, is in the
andesite.

RICH ORE FOUND IN
OLD COMET DISTRICT

Lessees in the old Comet district,
26 miles from Phoebe, are reported
to have opened a body of silver-lead
ore 18 feet wide and carrying 46
per cent lead and 1147 ounces sill
yer. A shaft has been sunk 10 feet
and a shipment made to Salt Lake
that netted the lessees $500 de-
spite a long and expensive haul to
the railroad.

THREE SHIFTS
EMPLOYED
At CACTUS

Three shifts of miners are en-
ployed at Cactus. east of Goldfield,
in sinking to 500 feet a 100-foot
shaft on the claims recently pur-
chased by the Cactus Nevada Min
ing company, controlled by Joseph
F. Nenzel, Herbert Humphrey, j. H.
Hunt of Reno, William Koenig of
the Humboldt bank of San Fran
cisco, and ]. E. McCreary of the
First National bank of Berkeley.
The shaft will be sunk at rate of
100 feet a month.

EAST DIVIDE CROSSCUT
IN VEIN FOR II FEET

The crosscut being driven east
from the 400-foot level of the East
Divide has penetrated the north
south vein for IT feet without dis
closing the wall The face of the
crosscut is in quartz from which low
assays are being obtained. This
crosscut has become the center OF
interest in the Divide district.

LESSEES AT KENNEDY HAVE
ORE READY FOR SHIPMENT

Fank Warning and A. A. Smith,
owning the Independence Day group
of claims at Kennedy, in Humboldt
county, have ready for shipment two
tons of ore assaying from $3.50 to
$500 per ton. The ore contains sill
yer and lead. Five openings over
distance of 1000 feet in the main
vein are said to show high-grade
ore.

LIBERTY HAS COMPRESSOR

The electric hoist and compressor
of the Liberty Divide have been in
stalled and sinking has been re-
sumed from a depth of SO feet. The
compressor will operate six drills
and will be used to furnish power
for some of the nearby companies.

Transportation
All supplies for mining, milling
and camp maintenance come from
the United States, consequently their
transportation calls for ocean steam
ship freight from New Orleans to
Bluefields, Nicaragua, 1900 miles;
thence by coasting schooner, a dis
tance of 80 miles, from Bluefields to
Prinzapolka; thence in barges towed
by gasoline tugs up the winding
courses of the Prinzapolka and Ban
bana rivers to Yaval Tara rapids in
the dry season, and to Tunky in the
wet season. At these points trans
fer is made to small pit pans pro-

To move a ton or freight from
New Orleans to the mine costs from
$90.78 to $1312S, varying accord
ing to the commodity, and in addi-
tion to this there is to be added
the freight from points in the United
States to New Orleans.
Surface improvements
AS is customary in tropical coun-
tries. large acreage in the vicinity
of the mine must be cleared of tim
Der and underbrush. The clearing
is done from a health standpoint.
