Some Kood-lfik)ii (iiiarlz came from the Kliaft rliulm,' tins ue. k, which led to a report that the vein had been Mruck. Superintendent Superin-tendent T'.ell tmya tliat the ipiartz came j from what is apparently a watercourse and not from Hie main vein, which is to he developed from the shaft; further, unle.-'.H l.ho vein changes its dip with depth, it will not be opened up in the Khai't, but must be crosscut for, though, of eour.se, one of tho numerous cross veins may be struck at any time. William .T. LoriiiK, the engineer, who Is ! pen oral manager of the Nevada 1 loney I Hee, spent several days during tlie week i in elieclung up developments Fhice his last visit. Jle expressed himself as be-iiiff be-iiiff preutlv pleased with the showing and tho outlook In general for the ramp which hears his name. He decider! to make no ehanpe in the plans for permanent development, de-velopment, but will have more systematic syste-matic and thorough Rurfaee prospecting done. This will be inaugurated at once ! under the direction of Tom Ward, who j is one of the original owners. Through his lontr connection with the firm of Hewiek, Moreiiu; K- Co., it is thought by many that Mr. 1-orinp is an I'inplisiiman. but liis boyhood was pont at Amrel'9 .'nmp, Cal. It is said that his first preat success was aa a millman, but he Is better known as a mine manager, and is making a great success of mines in the camp where he spent his boyhood, as well as elsewhere. Excavating for the mill of the Jose-"Havis Jose-"Havis Mining & Milling company will be completed this week and the concrete foundation will then be laid, after which tlie machinery will be put in place. Owing io the fact that the water developed is quite warm, there will be no difficulty in keeping the mill running steadily hi the coldest weather, but the winters in tills section are not severe enough usually to bother much on that score. In the tunnel on tho company's leaso on the Sheepherder the full face is in ore, and it Is all of pond grade. Tli ere arc many interesting exposures in the different workings on tlie T-or!ng T'vasure 11:11 ground which give promise under further development. What ' is known as the west vein strikes 15 degrees de-grees north, nf east, averages seven feet in wid tli and would pay to mill without sorlinLr. In addition to surface workings, there is a tunnel on it which is now 100 feet in. At thirty-five feet in, a rich streak was struck on which a raie was put up to the surface. Some of Die ore taken from this was full of free gold and among the richest found in the camp. About eight;, feet in the tunnel the vein was cut off hy a dike, hut it is expected to pick it up asain within thirty feet, as it lias been found on the surface tho other side oC this dike. Where picked up on the surface tho vein Is four feet wide and assays from t hree different samples of the sorted ore wont $7 6, $SS and $133 per ton. The Tennessee claims, owned by Tom Jewel t and operated under bond and lease by AV. H. Shewan, have two main veins, one of which is being developed by a tunnel. As is usual with the bigger veins of the Loring district, the values In these are principally in gold, but there is a cross vein tying the two which carries car-ries silver alone. This cross vein is four feet in width and assays so far have run as high as sixty ounces. The main veins cross the east end of tho Sheepherder and run into ground of the Jose-Davis company. |
