the other fellows goods as well as
their own. l never, since the early
days of Goldfeld, mixed in with a
bunch of people in mining camp
that seemed to have such abiding
faith in their camp. | must say
that they have mighty good reason
to be proud of Gold Circle. | was
never in a camp that could show
such rich gold ore at so many spots
on the surface. The discoveries are
not confined to one or two surface
showings. Gold Circle was well
under way of development when the
Elko Prince mill was burned. Since
that time the camp was practically
at standstill until the Red Hill
people came in. There was great
rejoicing the night that the news
came out that ore had been struck
on the 470-foot level. A dance was
held at which about eighty persons
attended. Fully thirty of these
were wives, daughters and sisters
of the men in the camp. So you
see the little camp has its social
side.
1--WE were all down in the Red
Hill and took look at the 470-foot
level. The vein is fully three feet
wide and carries about $1,000
across. This is several times the
values found on the level above.
They had just started the south
drift when was there and the few
feet of Roadway that had been
made showed improvement. | was
also all through the levels above.
1t certainly did look good to go
along for hundreds of feet all in
good grade ore, much of it high
grade On the 270-foot level the
high grade starts about 10 feet
south from the shaft. Within a
distance of few feet the ore
passes from $500 rock to highgrade
running over $450.00 per ton.
There is every indication that this
high grade will be picked up on the
470-foot level. But aside from this
high grade the whole distance for
several hundred feet the drifts on
both levels, the ITO and the 270 are
in mighty good grade milling ore.
Now that the vein has been open
ed on the 470-foot level it makes
the Red Hill look doubly attractive.
With little more development on
the 470-foot level the rich ore from
the upper level should be picked up.
When this is accomplished the Red
Hill is a mighty attractive milling
proposition. When one has the ore
exposed there is no difficulty in
financing mill. Money for that
purpose comes to one. That is the
one thing that has held back the
district, the want of mill. It's all
right to ship ore if one has to and
under some circumstances the right
thing to do particularly in a new
camp where one has to raise money
by such methods. But in a camp
developed to the extent that Gold
Circle is it would be a very unwise
thing to do, as the mine is depleted
to that extent by every shipment.
If it was surface work it would be
different, but Gold Circle today has
enough ore exposed to keep a good
sized mill in operation for long
time. The Red Hill management
could start shipping large tonnage
of high grade any day but it is not
business when there is such large
quantity of high mill grade ore al
ready exposed.
"While the work has been done
all on the Missing Link property
through the Link shaft and there
fore attention attracted to it the
jackson claims of the Red Hill
ground has a large amount of
ore blocked out, and it is ore of
mighty good grade. Then too across
the little gulch the Reco is making
an extra good surface showing. 1t
looked good to me and | under

assayed about 1000 ounces in sill

Reco also show good gold paintings.

Midas to secure the Colorado

These claims are on a parallel vein
to the Red Hill. They were owned
by R. T. Noble and Leslie R. Noble.
They have them partly developed
and had reached the shipping stage
when the mill was burned. They
