SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES.
NABOB SOON TO PRODUCE-TO
SEEK STEWART VElN-MlLL
AT TUSCARORA.

The Stewart Mining company is
attracting considerable attention
these days, and there is reason The
Stewart owns the control of the Ma
bob Consolidated Mining company,
which is now nearing the productive
stage. The Nabob holds a group of %
claims on Pines creek, upon which large
bodies of ore have been developed,
particularly on the Denver claim. Two
tunnels on this claim from Denver
proximately 300 feet in length ana
varying from Is inches to feet in
width, the ore running about Is per
cent each in lead and zinc and 6
ounces silver, No. 2 tunnel is about
zoe feet below No. |, with which it il
connected the raise being in ore all
the way. A crosscut from Nabob No.
4 tunnel has been extended into the
Denver ground and a raise made $50
feet connecting with No. tunnel. The
Nabob workings are reported to con-
tain large ore reserves that will aver
age per cent lead and ounces of
silver with no zinc. The No. tun-
mel forms the outlet for both the Ma
bob and Denver, and from the porta
of which a tramway connects with the
| 150-ton mill, now practically complet-
ed 1t is expected production will be-
gin sometime in August.

| When the Stewart company lost In
the apex litigation with the ontario
company some three years ago, the
profitable career Of the company
seemed near the end. Subsequently
operations were suspended and more
recently much of the machinery OF
the Stewart mill was moved to the
Nabob. From recent reports, how
ever, it appears that the old mine has
a chance to come back 1t seems that
work has been quietly going on in the
old workings in an attempt to find
the vein beyond the faulted ground
Where the vein was lost, and recent
reports indicate that this work may
prove successful, in which event the
old Stewart will have a new lease OF
| life.
Tuscarora Property.
About the time that the outlook fol
silver began to brighten, the Stewart
company secured an old silver prop
hrt tty of M tIrht hnf
been rich producer years ago wher
mining and milling methods were de
cidedly crude compared with those OF
| today. 1t was stated that the ole
dumps alone contained silver value!
that would yield a handsome prof
hunder modern methods of treatment
while ore left in the mine because
was too low grade to handle profltablN
in the early days is said to be ric,
| feed for an up-to-da mill. 1t Is als
reported that the greatest depth at
tained on this old property was onl.
800 feet and that there Is no evidenc
that the ore had pinched out, the pre-
sumption being that the cost of hoist
ing was too great with the crude ia
cilities available. The operations o
the Stewart at Tuscarora are bein
carried on by a subsidiary called tn
Holden Mining & Milling company
] little has been heard of what tn
Stewart Is doing down there, but III
