months ago the red cliffe e was purchased at sheriffs sale for afew a few hundred dollars when and where to get mining machin cry is a problem confronting mine operators I 1 ii searchlight and tributary camps reports from eastern machinery I 1 houses auses disclose the fact that little if any machinery can be delivered sh short of ninety days and this has resulted in a number of mine managers hurrying away in quest of sinking machinery many properties that are now ready to sink from to 1000 feet find themselves stalled for want of facilities in most cases those prop properties artles have passed the whip and windlass stage and are now preparing for extensive development among those who are anxious to get to sinking is the new york searchlight this concern has all its tuil buildings dings erected and everything in readi ness nesa for installing machinery but reports announced delay in delivery and general manager hurt is now in los angeles scour ing fing the machinery houses for a suitable plant the nagle buena vista at camp thurman is in a similar fix being compelled belied to forego active development until its plant of machinery can be placed on the property activity has begun in earnest on the cornucopia which owns the green corn md dinero groups adjoining the philadel fabia abi a searchlight where some excellent ore lias has been encountered the dinero

corn some of the best ore in he district has come from this vicinity and ee envelopment nent will be prosecuted to water level evel and drifting will be done on the vein A new strike is reported on the wyoming searchlight on the flat east of searchlight while drifting on the foot level an eight foot vein was encountered which shows values running 50 per ton in gold and silver A drift being driven on the foot level is now penetrating this ore body but no assays essays have been taken this drift will be sent ahead and the vein crosscut cross cut when stop ping will be in order additional information on the new copper strike made by G W hunington Hut ington a few miles north of the wall street mine in eldorado canyon shows the find to be fully as important as at first reported A ledge from twenty to fifty feet in width outcrops for considerable distance showing excellent values in copper some gold and silver the importance of the discovery is also augmented by the fact that it is near the new road to jean eighteen miles distant affording close proximity to transportation via the salt lake railroad samples taken from the ledge in a number of places show copper values as high as 40 per cent As yet no prospecting has been done in the locality only a few of the original discoverers friends being directed to the district since the news of the find became P public a general rush for locations has resulted and within the next few weeks great activity is looked for the district is well supplied with water from numerous springs while there are several springs so strongly impregnated with copper that the water is unfit for use this strip of country hasteen has been passed by for the past thirty years a granite dyke separating it from the known mineral territory where gold old and silver alone were sought within one mile of the new diggings at gillespies camp just over this granite hill ore running per ton is being taken out another rich gold strike is reported from camp thurman where john thurman the original discoverer of the lloyd lioyd light bo bonanza nanta discovered a ledge showing bonanza from k grass roots the new discovery is a contact proposition and lies half way between the empire mine and the nagle buena vista the lloyd searchlight this week made a mill run on its first shipment of ore and is more than pleased with the showing A consignment of about ten tons was treated at the duplex mill and gave bonanza values in gold this property is now being developed by a fifty foot sh shaft aft drifting having been done along the vein both n orth north and south from the shaft the mill run was made as a test on the ore body and the company which is a close corporation will continue sinking to the water level and install a plant of machinery C
