Show RICH STRIKEL ,'M (Herald-Refcublican.) v,v-. Private information received In this ' T,'rtB city in tho form of a letter from Ty- ' ' " ImM ron, Buck & Icklos who aro tho own- . UH ers. of the Jumbo mino in the Statelino U . 'H district, indicates that tho men havo H finally "struck it" after years of j f 'H heretofore fruitless toil, and that tho ; f H old camp may tako on a comlpoto re- ( H juvenation as a consequence. M Tho Jumbo is t&cated on Rico moun- H tain and has been worked by tho trio jj H for tho paBt ten years. A depth of bo- ' H tween six and seven hundred feet has JM been attained and it is understood that H tho vein, wnicn runs zrom iwom-y w h fifty feet in width, was cut about 400 H fct in tho tunnel. Tho work on tho H property has been conducted in a do- H sltorj' manner for the past few years. H It was while the minors wcro doing H their annual assessment work that the H oro running Into 'the pictures," ac- H cording to the letter received here,. M was found. H The values wore not stated in exact 'H terms, the sentenco referring to that H l 1,. ofntlno fVinf til PIT WPrO Hi part merely stating tnat tney were mm "getting gold galore." This proper- M ty is a gold producer pure and simple. H Tho same source of Information, how- H ever, also stated that on the old Ophir, H a silver-gold proposition, with silver M predominating, anothor Btrlko of con- jH slderablo magnitude had been made M by Dillard Lancaster, who has a leaso M on tho ground. H This information may have the ef- B feet of again turning tho tide of min- H ers and others to Stateline, which for M several years after its start, in 1900, M was quite a lively camp. Eventually 1 tho attractions of Goldfield and tho ' M ITonapah district drew away tho gold seekers, many of whom had grown jjffl very pesamlstic with reference to the ' fg future of Statelino. So only a fow, K like the three mentioned, held on with mm, the hope that some day their labors Jy - jfgg would bo rewarded, and it appears, ' fpw I at least in the caso mentioned, that ; Mv their dream has como true. ; ' Wt |
