more than four feet wide and pitches to the northeast the full extent of the find will of course not be known until further developed but enough is in sight to warrant the statement that one of the most important discoveries in the history of the bullfrog district has been made the four ace claims are located on the flat ground lying between ladd and montgomery 0 mountains joining the crystal on the south and the sunset on the north the strike is especially significant in showing that the py pay ledges in these two mountains extends into the level country many hundred feet from their base goldfield news A six foot ledge two feet of which are said to average per ton the remainder holding milling values of better than 20 to the ton was opened up this week on silver pick ground the find was made at a depth of seven feet so far as exploited values are holding well and are showing a tendency to increase somewhat the rock contains free gold paul Mi essmer is the lucky lessee who located the pay crack and has done so within a week after securing a lease on the property his block is located on the north end of the claim and if values hold out with depth Mi essmer has caught on right that mining men believe the strike is worthy of attention is manifested by the fact that sol camp superintendent in of the celebrated january nine mine january jones and julius goldsmith purchased a three quarters interest in the lease within a few hours atter after inspecting the find lida enterprise T C collins was in town yesterday from the sand springs country and informs us that an initial shipment of ten tons will be sent cut soon from the pacific the property upon which he and partners have been putting in ther their time for some months past assay returns upon sani samples ples of

will be satisfied if the ore nets them per ton the physical condition of the property is excellent and several shipments may bo be made during the next few months if this one proves satisfactory this this shipment should attract considerable attention to that section and stimulate the interest of intending investors yerington times T B gambel while here last week visited the copper prop property erty which lies a few miles south of yerington and was so well pleased with the prospect that he secured an option on it for sixty days and will endeavor to induce parties with capital to take hold of the property and develop it somebody told the reno gazette man a cock and buli bull story abo about ut this mine having thousands of tons toils of ore in sight which would go from 15 to 85 per cent copper and the poor sucker published it he ought to know that there is no such mine in existence or that it if there was it would not be lying idle idl e ten minutes the mine however is a very fine prospect and if the th e right kind of development work is done on it it stands an excellent chance of opening up as a large producer of 4 or 5 per cent ore of course sensational sat ional assays essays can be obtained from the mine as well as other mines in this district it is hoped that mr gambel may induce men of means to take over the mine there are few prospects in this district that look any better for the amount of work done |
