Show IisDgSdown I Feature of Humboldt County I Effort Is Permanency of , the Fissures. PUTS NEW COURAGE INTO MINE OWNERS John Cleghorn Says Fissures ' Lose Nothing of Value as Depth Is Had. Speaking especially regarding Humboldt county, Ncvadn, John Cleghorn, one of the most widely known Utalin mining in the Sagebrush state, snys that Nevada is making good. Justifying in many instances in-stances the rosy predictions made In tho early boom days. Cleghorn recently drove into several inches of very rich gold oro in tho Seven Troughs district, and ho Is planning to send a deeper tunnel to tap tho samo ore. for ho Is convinced thai Seven Troughs will bo found a deep camp. "I do not mention Seven Troughs only." he said, "but all Humboldt county, which Is proving Itself ono of the greatest sections of the state. It is well known what huge and rlrh cropping Micro wore several years ago in Humboldt county, and the groat point then In dispute was the probahle action of depth of the big fissures In the rh.volitc and nndesltc. "This question has been answered definitely, defi-nitely, for the valuos certainly do go I down. Wherever you could secure gold by punning the trappings of the formations forma-tions mentioned, you llnd with depth that tho values are maintained.' This places ' an entirely different phase to mining in Seven Troughs and elsewhere In tins county This demonstration of ore at depth is naturally encouraging to all of us. anil It should tend to stimulate new activity activ-ity throughout the country." Cleghorn heard some wonderful reports about the famous National mine at National, Na-tional, a prqnqs.lti.on which promises to be one of the 'greatest gold propositions of the modern limes. He hears, for Iifc-stnncc. Iifc-stnncc. that the property has opened up so splendidly lit depth that the management manage-ment can remove practically any amount of money demanded at an hour's notice It will be recalled that this properly reaped 51,000.000 from thirteen tons of ore. so It will not. take a very hip tonnage, to bring the earnings to unheard of heights. |
