FROM GOLD CIRCLE

this ground for a time and but for
his death it is likely that it would
have produced much mo,e heavily.
Joining the B~ambergers on the east
is the Climax group of the Macy Mines
Company of which Judge Macy, J. l.
Peterson, j. A. Langwith, NJ. J. Pals
ley and Tom Ebert are officers and di-
rectors. The vein here shows a rib
bon quartz that looks exactly like the
high grade in the Elko Prince and Ii
Is believed to be the extension OF
that famous vein. Values up to $500
per ton have been found, but the val
ues in the limiJed work done in the
tunnel average eight OF ten dollars
per ton. The Tod Adams group. un-
der option to G. 5. Warren and which
may be taken over b. the Elko Prince
and the Water Witch iIoup, con-
trolled by III. A. Thompson, are
among other fine prospects in the
vicinity.
Louis Reymond's strike on the Elko
Kings in the central portion of the
| district, while met sens auonal, looks
very good. The sf,ike was made by
| prosecuting six feet from the face
of a seventy-foot tunnel run by a
former lessee, and which Raymond
realized paralleled the vein. When
first struck the ore was about six
inches wide and averaged eighteen dol
lars per ton Following the vein for
twenty-seven feet brought it to a
contact of rhyolite and andesite and
here the values quit for a time, as
happened in the Judge and other
mines. From this point the vein goes
out again into the rhyolite and in a
few feet the ore body has widened to
fourteen inches, the values are in
creasing and becoming regular, and
it is Reymond's belief that he is just
getting into a rich payshoot. The
formation and vein filling appears to
be identical with that of the Missing
Link, WHICH dCJolnS.
A decided improvement has taken
place in the Rae and Hargrove lease
on the Banner claim. At sixty-three
feet in the north drlrt from the viii.
liams shaft, the ore body has widened
to fourteen inches and the values now
average more than 500 per ton. The
drift from the Reco crosscut will be
under the Williams shaft within the
next forty-five feet and give IFS feet
of backs. The face of the drift shows
streaks of ore, four to six inches wide
on each wall, and the silver values
are high.
Manager Bolam has let a contract
to j. w. Boulware to sink the shaft
of the Gold Circle Queen al addi-
tional 100 feet below the 23-foot level.
This work is of prime importance and
means much to the south end of the
district. The original wners of the
Queen opened up ore at the surface
that went as high as two dollars or
three dollars per pound in gold, and
in going down thirty feet on this
shoot 1000 was accounted for.
About $50 feet south of this and on
the same enrichment, leasers took out
10000 in going down fifty feet. Be-
tween the fifty and 130-foot levels a
second set of leasers took put about
$4,000. That the news coming out
of Gold Circle is conservative is
again indicated by remembering that
the first article of this series credited
the Queen with but $4,000 produc-
ton, when the foregoing shows s45,-
900 accounted for in three workings.
At the 130-foot level, where a fiat
lying rhyolite flow was encountered.
the values were cut off. At the 210-
foot point the ore was again en-
countered, and on the 230-foot level
the ore shoot is stronger and more
definite than at any other point in
the mine-and the values are equally
as good and better distributed. The
vein is fifteen feet wide, and the high
grade from four to fifteen inches.
