Show RAMSEY CAMP BOOMING. (Special to The Telegram.) RAMSEY, Nev., April 23. This camp is fast assuming the airs and appearances of a boom mining camp, what with the arrival ar-rival daily of booted and corduroyed mining mi-ning men, miners and ajfher who always follow the latest excitement. Another ledge has been opened up. this time in the New Com stock. This company found a stringer at the surface that assayed as-sayed $668 In gold. The superintendent spent several days digging around this stringer in the hope that he would find the ledge from which It came. This week the shift broke into it and found a good body of ore, not as high in grade as the stringer, but containing good shipping value. The shaft is less than twenty feet deep, so that though the ledge is in place. It is too early to say just what it will do. The ore in the bottom of the shaft horns around 1200 in vaule and assays across the whole ledge, a little over four feet In width. . The Garavanta mine is being pumped out and the company will tunnel across the dike as fast as possible, with drifts on whatever streaks msy be encountered in the progress of the tunnel. It is probable prob-able the company will pay expenses with the high-grade chutes, and block out the milling ore as work progresses. This mine Is a concentrating proposition from the summit of the dike down, with a good deal of Iron in heavy sulphides. The Consolidated Con-solidated is down 220 feet in the shaft on the west side of the dike and is still sinking. The bottom of the shaft Is in a formation that has up to this time in the district made ore wherever found. The mine is a big proposition, and work has been hampered by the lack of timbers and hoist material, now beginning to arrive. The Carson M. and M. company has received re-ceived good, results from samples In the bottom of its forty-foot shaft and will sink to the 100 before crosscuttlng its ledge. The Ramsey Comstock company is sinking steadily for the 500, and will start a crosscut at the 260. to be reached In a few days. Sacking continues in the upper levels and the phenomenal ledge on the 160 holds out as to sise and value. It was from this ledge the Brougher Mills company sampled, with a $244 result. The Bonanza continues to block out the fine ledge on the Hidden Fortune, and as are other companies. Is making a mine as fast as possible. Nearly 200 miners are now at work in the district. |
