Show Swails Mountain Is Great Mining District IHshop Henry Lewlti Iteports On Pronilslutf Properly In Vhlcli Lehl People Aro Hviully Interested. Dlshop Henry howls returned Mon-dny Mon-dny from Curlln, Nevada, whoro ho went to look after the Interests of tho Nevada Anaconda Mining company's com-pany's pioporty, locnted twolvo miles from tho above named station, on the Southern Pncllfc nnd tho Western l'nclflc l'n-clflc roads. Some leasers hnvo done nbout $10,000 worth of de,volopment work on tho properly during the past year and demonstrated tho fact, so Mr. l.uwla thinks, that the compntiy hns tho making of n grcnt mine. The property contains n mammoth copper vein cnrrylng 12 per cent coppor, nnd n well defined vein of carbonate ore running high In loud and silver. The leasers have run Bovernl tunnels tun-nels on tho lend carbonate vein, demonstrating dem-onstrating Its permanency, and the fact that It Increases In richness with depth. They hae shipped several cur loads to tho smelters and have another about ready to ship now. The company will use tho royalty fiom those shipments to run a deeper tunnel, tun-nel, which when fit about S00 feet, will top the lend llssure at u depth of nbout S00 feet, mid then by extending extend-ing the, tunnel nbout 300 feet further, tho big coppor vein mny bo tapped nt u depth of nbout 1000 feet. Three men will bo put to work nt once running this dee)) tunnel. During tho winter parties who have n bond lease on tho Carllu-Nevndn. mi ndjolnlng property, hnvo sunk n shaft over 100 feet deep nnd hnvo encountered en-countered it body of coppor ore said to bo -10 feet acroos.
