Consolidated Company to I Secure Own Outfits for I ' Ore Hauling. I i General Manager SIcgcl ot the Slegel I Consolidated Mining company Is back I from an Inspection visit to this fasclnat- Ins portion ot White Pino county, Nov. I Tho fact .that thore are soveral Salt f Lake mining men of promlncnco owning I property near tho Slegel ground, has I been kept a sccrot as safely aa tho Slo- I gel company ltaelf has proceodod to do- I volop a property of great magnitude without giving any Intimation to tho H outside world as to what 'was progrcss- B ins- I One purpose of Mr. SIcgcl s visit to the mino was to procure If possible enough teams to haul tho great tonnage the company has placed upon their dumps to tho railroad trucks. In this he was partially successful, although tho company com-pany has decided to purchase their own outfits entirely, and Mr, Slegel Is now looking for three or four freight teams 1 as a starter. Freighting has become one of the most lucrative lines of White Pine activity. Four to six-horse teams bring the owners In $25 a day, tho expenses ex-penses are not over $7 a day per outllt, leaving a clear profit a day of SIS. Before the departuro of Manager Slegel from tho mino, at a point 50 feet southwest south-west of tho main stope between the two tunnel levels, a fine ore body was encountered, en-countered, the exact extent of which will not. be known until tho miners have done more exploratory work. One grab sample, sam-ple, however, assayed clghty-fivc ounces silver to the ton, and this new resource may prove to he not the least of the Slegel Sle-gel Consolidated company's nssets. White Pine county has a most enviable future before it, even viewed In the light of the more recent developments In other counties ot that great State. The Slegel company has established In tho most positive manner the wisdom of developing develop-ing properties in what once was a prominent promi-nent mining region. Near this property Is Schelbourue, a camp whose past record rec-ord is still a household word In White Pine. Ore from th nearby properties was transported years ago to Reno, and rumor has It that It wns freighted as far as San Francisco, There are yet to be seen here the ruina of tho old mill and Us accessories. Fine Mineral Zono. I From the Slegel property to the Nevada Ne-vada Northern railroad In the Steptoc valley Is only about ten miles, and the railroad company at this time Is laying the rails opposite the property. Slegel Is .about eight miles south of Schelbourue, Schel-bourue, and twenty miles further south. In the same range of mountains and In the same mineral zono. Is Duck Creek, where so many prominent Salt Lake cap- ItallBts have secured silver and lead ' properties. Taking In these camps, to say nothing regarding the Ely district, one Is given nn expanse of highly mineralized min-eralized territory whose famo In beginning begin-ning to bud, and which Is destined to become be-come one of the moat magnificent silver-lead silver-lead regions In the entire country. , As has been romarked frequentlyVSIc-gel. frequentlyVSIc-gel. Duck Creek, Cherry Creek, Ely and nearby regions are favorite stamping grounds for Salt Lake talent and money, and this will react most favorably to the benefit ot Salt Lake merchants, who tnlce early advantage of their opportunities. |
