Show NEW ARRIVAL TELLS OF " BLACK HORSE CAMP Additional information regarding the Black Horse district of Nevada, which is about 200 miles southwest of Salt Lake, and between fifteen and twenty miles west of the western Utah line, comes through M. V. Clavs. formerly of Bingham, but now established in thu new camp. What Mr. Clays says of the region shows that although it is four months since the first gold ledge discoveries were made, the progress in disclosing additional gold-bearing veins has been very rapid. Mr. Clavs' statements confirm those of Messrs. Schrott, McFall, Woolley and Mclntyre. who have been bringing reports re-ports of the richness of the district to Salt Lake for six weeks, and also indicate in-dicate that very manv other individuals individ-uals have acquired holdings and commenced com-menced to prepare for raining on large scale. Ho cites twelve properties or groups of claims that are thus brought into practical shape for action at once. In all these instances, the outcroppings carry gold values rich enough to ship as soon as sufficient depth shall have been attained to take out ore in quantity. quan-tity. "The Osceola mill." he said, "is running on ore from the San Pedro mine of the Mines Development association of Salt Lake and New York, of which H. S. Woolley is president. This company, com-pany, will in a few days send out the second car of first -class ore to the Salt Lake smelters, and in the meantime tbe company will continue to supply the mill with ore from four openings on its main ledge, and also continue extending extend-ing the crosscut tunnel into tbe main ledge. "The Cyclone claim of the Mines Development De-velopment asswiation has dis- cjosed high grade ore near the surface, since rich values were found on the Mabel Ma-bel Fraction claim of the Mabel company com-pany two weeks ago, and which ores, it will be remembered, yielded at tbe rate of over $100,000 per ton. That was one of Fred Schrott 's discoveries, made subsequent to the incorporation of the Mabel company,' this latter work having hav-ing been accomplished by Schrott and associates previously as a' result of testing test-ing the loose ground with a dry washer, wash-er, and which showed the surface wash all carried gold so largely that every rlean-up disclosed a string of the yr- : low metal. "The White Jack claims, adjoining the Mabel, have been incorporated in Salt Lake, large and prominent capitalists capi-talists having secured the control, and it is understood that plans are being made to develop them comprehensively. "The Denver claims, which adjoin tbe White Jacks and the Mabel company's com-pany's territory, are under option to Salt Lakers, and they are soon to be incorporated. in-corporated. "The Hamilton group is being incorporated incor-porated in Denver, also the Ivory group and the new Nil Desperandum group. "The Spring City company nas opened up a ledge of gold ore that runs very high, ana on the Grasshopper, owned bv Dick Hamilton, there is a strike which shows 222 ounces silver, 4.7 per cent lead and $16.80 gold. "On the Lucky Boy company's group they have a ledge disclosed from which pannings never fail to show abundance of gold. 'Mt is undoubtedly one of the most promising camps of the summer in Nevada. Ne-vada. The town is almost exclusively composed of tents, but buildings are being erected as rapidly as the lumber can be brought in. |
