Show STATELINE DISTRICT It Hns Moved Well Tip in the Column of Possibilities Statelinc carved out of Iron county four years ago moved up in the column of possibilities during the past year and with projected equipments on the ground should In 1S01 add not a little to the output of the commonwealth The growth of the town Itself has corresponded cor-responded with the development of the ledgeij a weekly publication the Sentinel Sen-tinel has just boon launched and there Is every assurance that two mills will be erected and put in operation the present season For these water Is now plentiful the forest affords abundant timber wood Is to be had a t 225 per cord and with these advantages the milling ores of the camp should be easily eas-ily mastered THE OP FUR This proposition Is perhaps the heat developed in the district Rich ore was discovered at the grass roots and slnco then has been followed continuously to a depth of 300 feet while drifts along the strike of the vein bare shown It along a-long and permanent one The vein averages about eight feet in width with the entire filling affording a good margin mar-gin while through it are streaks of very high grade shipping ore The property was recently transferred trans-ferred to M L Efilnger F H Lathrop and a syndicate of capitalists from Dt trolt A llftyton mill Is to be erected within the next six months and with the extensive bodies of ore already blocked out tine OpIUm mine may be placed in the list of dividendpayers within the next few months THE JOHNNY MINE This property Is principally owned by Frank M Wilson of Salt Lake City and W J Dooley and C O Newell of StateInc It is located on nearly a flat bench covered with sagebrush and showing very little Indication of a vein The property was located in lt > 00 after all of the surrounding ground had been taken up and tIre locator sold it for a trifle rue purchasers thought lltllt of tire mine and did only development enough to hold tire claim For the first ton feet in depth the vein assayed a few dollars per ton For the next tr n feet the values Increased a trifle and whm assessment work was being done In tho third year at a depth of thirtysix feet the owners encountered ore that was literally full of gold picked samples assaying as-saying thousands of dollars to the ton The vein bias now been developed lo a depth of 179 feet and drifts have developed de-veloped a wide and strong fisure vein carrying hlffh values for hundreds of feet on either side ot the shaft No Htoping has been done In the mine The or bodies have been systematically I 1 blocked l out and left standing and show J great riches During tin pasl llrioen I months about 20000 worth of oiv has been taken out of the mine in doljig development de-velopment work and the amount ot ore ot in RlghL at the present time Is conservatively conserva-tively estimated at over 200000 The vein is I strong welldefined lls j I vuiQ striking easterly and westerly and averaging over six feet In width i In the bonanza ore chute the vein widens wid-ens out until It is from eight to twelve 1 foot wide Jn the bottom of the shaft the ole I assayed over 200 per ion and In the west
