The Mammoth Ledge at Carter Sta
tion is no longer hope, a dream, or
an expectation. Genius and effort
have materialized a mineral wonder
where men toiled and perspired, fall
tered and failed in years gone by
Oro Grande has plucked a silver
bonanza from hillside trodden over
for tworthirds of century by pros
pector, miner, woodman, rancher, and
sheepherder. Cleaning in the sun
light a rich ledge of antimonial sill
yer relates its own invincible story.
Of wealth untold In subterranean
treasure vaults for thousands of feet
in length, hundreds of feet in width,
and thousands of feet in depth in the
Mammoth Ledge. The perennial flow
of highly mineralized water from the
old tunnel proclailis a still more
forceful declaration Of enormous de-
posits from which 1t receives its In
exhaustible supply Of mineral subs
tances in solution. And samples from
every tunnel, drift, and shaft respond
in mineral values to tests of assayers.
Veta Grande is on the same great
ledge an equally eloquent memorial
to the titanic forces and other agen-
cies responsible for this deposition of
the greatest quartz lode known and
the most profusely mineralized ledges
yet disclosed at and near the surface,
showing now in a few hundred feet of
tunnel, drifts, and wines, millions
of dollars worth of available ores and
presenting to the world veritable
mineral miracle. Meagre development
demonstrates not one levithan ledge,
but system of parallel and intersect-
ing lodes which to the logic of prac-
tical mining men sense veritable cav
erns of ALADDIN"
Walker, Harrigan, Johnson, and
Frasier are digging another Cripple
Creek from the Gold Bug region on
the Pine Nut range. There, amid the
flows Of andesite, rhyolite, and por-
phyry against an impervious granite
base, in ledges of unmistakeable merit
the bottom Of which can never be
reached by any means known to hui
man ingenuity, slumber deposits of
gold and silver that will be utilized
and that will be remembered for CEN
turtles. Already these ledges have
manifested their worth under the blow
pipe, In pan and crucible.
Chris Jeppersen and associates are
delving into the side of Galena Hill
to pierce the storehouses of copper,
gold, and silver, evidenced by gener-
GUS surface outcroppings and rich
float strewen broadcast over wide
areas.
Otto Taubert is monarch of all he
surveys" at Pine Grove where he is
adding many thousands of tons to his
volume of ore in sight.
In the very heart of the bonanzas
at Masonic, Montrose and Boone have
uncovered another spectacular gold
ledge, equally as promising as the
Cerita, Liberty Pittsburgh, Chemung,
and others that wrote values In FIVE
figures.
Cord Hayes of Bridgeport has dup
Heated the Montrose-Boon group in
the Success, also situated in the vfcin-
ity of the Golden Throne. Material
from this property, seemingly worth
less. Is literally loaded with the yell

H. G. Decker, true to his record and
character, is pounding splendid achie-
vement out of his lease on the Che
mung. He has also joined the throng
Of coming millionaires by locating

J. F. Fredericks is ,pluming for a
lofty flight among the top notchers
in the realm of big bonanzas on Mt.
Patterson Of the Sweetwater range,
where he has opened silver ledge
that answers $4,000" to the question
Of how much per ton?" Mr. Freder-
icks has owned this group for third
Of century and now feels that 1t is
time to realize on its values.
Vim. Glynn of San Francisco, and
associates are developing a mineral
marvel in the Great Western. also in
the Sweetwater country. A quartz
ledge barred to the gaze 100 feet wide
and miles long and all mineralized,
figures profits that are inconceivable.
