For Past Week
Chalk Mountain, Gold
Basin Show New
Activities

! lie past week cOnSlueTdDle dcllV-
ity has been shown in mining inter-
ests over the county. A small ship
ment of high grade ore has been
made from the Shadyrun section and
another is being taken out.
The Chalk Mountain silver-lead
property is attracting more than
usual attention. as this property
seems to be made and only awaits
the proposed extensive development
that is being planned by Mr.. Dawes
and his associates. A double shift is
to be set to work at the mine within
hsort time and this will undoubt-
edly hurry the extraction of ore.
Samples from the mine are on exhi-
bition at the Kent store and 1t is the
best looking silver-lead ore that has
come to this city in many days.
At Goldbasin things are moving in
a safe way. A deal is pending for
the Hunt Miller ground and once
this property is transferred it will
men big development in the camp.
All who have visited this ground dur
ing the past few weeks agree that
the owners have the making of
real mine. Samples of the ore are
scattered over this city and many OF
them show free gold while paintings
look like bonanza days in Goldfield.
The Wilson property, taken over
by the Zumwalt interests, is awaiting
further preliminary work. The COM
pany Is Strengthening out surveys,
titles and making plans for an ex-
tensiVe campaign. Mr. Zumwalt, who
came in from the camp Monday
states that 1t will probably be thirty
days before extensive work is started
on the ground.
This work will include both placer
and lode mining, and from what can
be learned it will mean the bringing
duction plant.
! At the Goldbasin Mining, Milling
& Development Company tunnel work
: continues Showings are being made
along the entire distance of the tun-
{ mel, which is very unusual occur
[ ance. The main vein. which Is fig
{ ured some 90 feet ahead, evidently
3 has thrown off values for a long dis
D tance. Man. mining men who have
2 visited this property state that there
{ is no doubt but that mill grade IL not
t high grade ore will be developed
{ within the next fifty feet.
) Herman Love, who was In S.onday
| for supplies, states that there is
hardly a day passes but that someone
! comes in with samples of ore that
! pan we'll. 1t is his idea that with the
opening of the properties now under
: development that additional mines
: will be found.
|, Recent paintings from a section
g. north of Goldbasin show excellent
values and this property will be fur
ther developed before much publicity
is given.
Tonopah, Ely and other sections
are beginning to take an interest in
the future of Goldbasin, as the papers
over the state have let it be known
that high grade ore has been found
2 Letters from Toonpah and Goldfield
+ are making inquiry and several par.
+ ties from both camps are expected
q on the ground in the next few weeks.
t During the past week r. p. Boyer
= Of the Boyer Investment Company of
Los Angeles spent several days in
] camp. 1t is understood that he has
I taken an option on property in the
, camp and will with other Los An
geles capitalists come into this Ne
vada camp and start work
, pected that Mr.. Boyer will return in
the near future and close up his
J options.
! All in all the mining situation over
the county is looking better today
than in a number of years. Silver
, and lead both being on the upgrade
is stimulating the demand and Chur-
chill county will be In the market
before the season closes.
