Show NEW COMPANY TAKES CHARGE. A letter received today from C. E. Dugger, and written at Blackhorse, Nev., announces that a new company has taken charge of an old-time mine in old Success camp that was developed de-veloped twenty years ago bv a Canadian Cana-dian corporation, and that was worked principally for lead with indifferent results re-sults financially. In this new company, in addition- to Mr. Dugger, are S. O. Kirkebv of Blackhorse, A. G. Burritt of Salt Lake, L. 8. Ramsey and J. A. Atkins. Thev have made locations on a group of twenty-four claims, which are thirty-two thirty-two miles east of Ely and fourteen miles from old Osceola camp, on the wagon road from Elv to Newhouse. "We have found about $100,000 worth of development work done on this property," explains Mr. Dugger enthusiastically, "in shafts and tunnels. tun-nels. One shaft is down 195 feet, a tunnel is in 300 feet, and there is a winze 200 feet deep and four other shafts 50 feet in depth. From these workings the former owners took ore in considerable quantities, but it was a long distance , to a railroad, and it could not be handled at a profit. It carries copper, silver, lead and gold, and there are about eighty tons of it on the dumps which could be shipped at this-time, profitably I believe. "We have some men at work cleaning clean-ing up the old stopes and tunnel, and the proposition looks good to roe. I believe I have struck it at last." |
