the East vein," striking due east.
The richer ore opened in quantity
in the prospecting work has been
found in a shallow trench in this
vein. a six-foot face 100 feet from
the main vein giving an assay re-
turn of $3.50 ounces silver. In
cut in the main vein a five-foOt
width assays SS ounces and a grab
sample of a small dump at this cut
gave a return of 294 ounces. Picked
samples from these places assay az
high as 400 ounces.
In the 150-foot tunnel nearly
5000 feet from these places a, sly
inch seam has been found assaying
200 ounces. This tunnel was driven
in 1906 and In 1911, II tons OF
160- ounce ore were shipped from
it. There is now 1S inches of ore
exposed aside from the rich seam
that samples from eight to IL
ounces.
The silver is not associated with
any other mineral and is found in
lime so thickly silicified that it re-
scmbles pure quartz. The presence
of bromide stain is an indication
of rich ore.
The richest ore is found at the
top of a 2O0-foot hill and the main
yeing is being traced with trenches
down this hill into a canyon, where
it is planned to start tunnel in

]. P. LOTUS GIVES HIS
IMPRESSION OF DIVIDE.

]. p. Lotus, whose name was
written large in the great period
of Goldfield-the father of millions,
has been to Divide. He went for a
first look-after seven years-and
in talking with a Tribune repre-
sentative he said:
cit all seems very strange and
beyond belief that right here on
the roadway that links Goldfield
and Tonopah, the twin camps, that
have loomed so large in the mining
world for nearly 20 years, each
greater than the other, there should
now spring up between them an
other greater than either. But so
it certainly is. Today went into
the heart of this new wealth. AS
we stood in the great crosscut on
the third level, 80 feet from wall
to wall, and no walls, realizing that
from below they were raising to
this point 10 feet, and breaking
better than 500 a ton for it's en-
tire height, we found in memory
or experience none but the great
Comstock fit standard of compari-'
son. Cut the reported value in
two and here is s2,00O,00O on this
level, for they have opened the ore
for 420 feet in length. And be-
low us on the fourth--it is not
much opened yet-but here they
say the ore has doubled in value
$4,000,000, total of $4,000, 900
and the work is only just begun.
They went 1900 feet on the Com
stock to get the 5000, 900, 900 it pro-
duced. But it is doubtful if the
Comstock's first 400 feet showed
what is seen at Divide.
To-day the old roadway is lined
with autos. trucks, and even the
old 14-string mule team with it's
slow, winding movement, is forced
again into service. Men are rush

ON THE BOTTOM

Crosscutting of the vein ON the

Simon lead mine, in the Cedar
range east of Nina, has been started

they are stalking the country for

formed every .hour-almost. The
stock issues literally are eaten up
over night and It Is poor day
when the trading falls below 50O,-

gone before. 1t is a madness. But
like that of Hamlet, it is a madness
with a method in it-a sort of ra-
tional madness, if you will permit
the paradox, based on. the vast
riches, suddenly revealed in the
heart of this old neglected hill.
Fortunes are made and in the
making over night, and even we
who have known and felt the great
pulse of Tonopah and Goldfield at
their full, who stood in intimate
touch with their millions as they
poured forth, find ourselves bow
ing hat in hand, in the presence Of

LESSEES AT NATIONAL
WORKING IN RICH SEAM

Rich ore is being produced from
the Wilkinson-Truitt-Cogswell lease
on the National mines at National.
The lessees are working in what is
known as the tx" vein of the old
bonanza, with a stopping area of 800
feet available from the main tun-
mel to the surface. After following
a seam of high grade silver for a
considerable distance, rich gold ore
is now being found in this seam,
leading to the belief that an ore
body of good size will soon be en-
tered. A small quantity of the rich
material has been saved for ship
ment. together with 80 tons of good
mill ore and four tons assaying
500 q ton.

the Cowden produced ore showing
