Show ILIIKOIS M IK Nevada Humboldt Mine Gives Quick Returns to the Eastern Owners. RICH HIGH-GRADE PASSES THROUGH ZI0N Leasers Get Splendid Rock, While Company Is Close to Results. 'The luck of tcndcrfccl; or, who had (he weakness to sell?" might make a fitting title to a story that might be written about the property in Black canyon, Humboldt . mining district, dis-trict, of tho Nevada Humboldt Mining company. About a year ago this property prop-erty was sold to several well-known Rockford (111.) peoplo, and thoy got to work on the group to sco if thoy could got their mono" buck. On Sunday thero visited Salt Lake F. M. Smith and A. Parson, two of these Illinois parties, and thoy wero fairly bubbling over with joy at their good fortune. Thoy had boon al. the mine for several days, and returned cast with a9 much bonnnza high-grado gold ore as ono strong man would desire de-sire to carry, and with what is much better than "that, extremely good news for their Illinois associates. Tf. is on the Nevada Humboldt property prop-erty that one of the really sensational finds of high-grado ore has been made during Iho new year, and the find joined with others in the near vicinity is going to he responsible for a new camp, a new boom, and what apparently apparent-ly seems to bo a new producing point of the Sagebrush state. Local and Nevada Ne-vada circles call it the luck of tender-feet, tender-feet, but n tenderfoot who gets down and diss a hard as this Illinois crowd has doio- deserves all the returns that can como. Tho latest news from the Nevada Humboldt is that tho leasers are still in this rich ore. and thnt the company's long tunnel soon will be close to the point where this same vein should be tapped at a vertical depth of 300 feet. This work should have no small inllu-once inllu-once on the Black ennyon section, and should the work result favorably, as anticipated, an-ticipated, there would be no reason whv Black canyou should not become one of the most attractive points of Nevada. Near tho Black canyon properties is the Imlay, a Salt Lako proposition that rcccnt-lv oncountercd another fine body of milling ore on the 200-foot level south of tho shaft, a find that makes tho company's own milling plant soon to bo installed an absolute necessity. |
