Show OlCli GOLD STRIKES AT SEVEN TROUGHS Excellent Developments at Vernon Ver-non and in Wild Horse Canyon. Can-yon. Seven Miles Away. Special to The Tribune. SBVJSN TROUGHS DISTRICT, Nev., Juno 12. High grado strikes are reported re-ported Kiiuultaneously from points as far apart as Vernon and Wild Horse canyon. The two places arc seven miles apart. In Wild Horse canyon tho Moult er-aiorrison er-aiorrison lease on Hie Golden Horseshoe, Horse-shoe, which showed a remarkably large body of .-rtjo rock at a depth of forty feet, discloses at a depth of forty-niue feel in tho shaft a two-foot streak of sulphide ore that shows an average assay as-say of $260. The vein has widened unexpectedly, un-expectedly, and now neither wall of the vein shows in tho shaft. According lo Mr. Morrison tho shipping streak is in tho middle of the vein, and is sixteen inches wide at one end of the shaft and thirty-one inches nt the other. The samplo that was assayed was taken acros:? this streak from ono end of the shaft to the other. Following the discovery, dis-covery, strong pressure was brought to bear on .Mr. Morrison by visiting capitalists cap-italists to induce him to sell tho lease, and a most flattering offer was mado. It was refused. Mr. Morrison savs that ho is prepared to sink immediately to tho 350 level. At Vernon, Charles and John Magill ha oponed up on their ground almost within tho north limits of tho city, a vein that contains stroaks of quartz, showing free gold that can bo seen with tho naked eye. Many of tho specimens aro 'ver3- rich. A large width of the ground gives good results on panning. While the vein Is not yot well defined, it is believed that tho owners arc on the trail of a very Tich lead. |
