Silver DALE AND SILVER PEER
ORE SHIPMENTS AWAIT RATES

Latest reports from the mine
managers Of the Silver Dale and Sill
yer Peer properties state that ship
ping ore is accumulating so rapid
ly on the dumps that shipments will
commence as soon as the reduced
railroad rates are in effect.
Ore from the Silver Peer is being
extracted drifting on the vein on
the S5-foot level with values rang
ing from $50 to S115 ton. On the
120-foot level the vein has now been
proved to be 40-feet wide and the
handling wall has not yet been
reached.
Two leases on the Silver Dale are
now extracting shipping ore at !
depth of 50-feet. The tunnel being
driven by the company is now in ore
assaying from s13 to over 5000 a
ton at a depth of over 100 feet. A
new discovery on the surface shows
width of four feet Of ore averag-
ing l60 at point where the Silver
Dale vein was covered with sand and
sagebrush.

virtually been abandoned, the furni-
ture having been taken away and
theh building is in precariQus con-
dition, liable to be blown down at
any time, and as this building was
erected BY the public, would it not
be advisable to call a public meet

BACKED BY SPAETH, MKN|GHT & CO.. OF
NEW YORK TWO COMPANIES BEGIN
EXTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

During the past week, through
the highly commendable energy Of
the famous Western mining scout,
Col. Maurice j. Fink, negotiations
have been completed whereby the
well and favorably Known New
York mining and brokerage firm 0f
Spaeth, MaeKnight & Co., Of SO
Beaver St., acquired mining prop
critics of exceptional merit in the
Silverhorn and Highland mining
districts, upon which extensive and
intensive development work has al
ready been commenced that is cer-

try much additional impetus.

hand, thank God this obligation is
paid" said Micawber. But with ma
tions as well as individuals we must
have at least resceptable margin
of some medium of exchange which
all nations must recognize as being
OF unquestioned intrinsic value.
Silver is the one and only thing
that answers the purpose. With the
avalanche of Indebtedness of the
nations Of the earth comes the resur
rection of silver and will rebuild
the spectre cities of the Silver
States with an impetus such as few
men dream could ever exist.
Now topping past records in Ne
vada is the simple story Of the dis
coyery OF this new camp where are
located the rich properties of the
Silver Dale and Silver Peer Mining
companies, which along with the Sill
yer Horn, are the really big discover
ies-sreat bodies of ore literally tut
ting out of the ground and which
1or centuries have stood out in the
poid relief against the >.sky in plain
view OF the wayfaring prospector.
These original properties are now
pelng Fapidly developed by mining
engineers from New York and the
Pacific coast. These men Of exper-
renee and science ifnhesitatinglv
aver that the showings in Silver
Dale and Silver Peer of high-grade
shipping ore, and the great width or
milling ore, are the most remarkable
since Tonopah was discovered TWEEN
ty years ago, and far exceed in rich
ness and values.
