Show cents per pound, not por ton, but per pound. Tho tailings, therefore, average aver-age $1600 per ton, and few would refuse re-fuse a lease. on the tailings dumps. The ore body from which this enormously enor-mously rich ore comes is from two to seven feet in width, the rich' streak ringing from three Inches to ono foot in width. Tho ore was first encountered encoun-tered on the seventy-fivo-foot level, and It has hcen opened continuously to tho 4C5-foot level and It has been opened along the strike for 2F,0 feet, without showing any Indications of pinching out or growing less valuable in gold. One chunk of the ore recently re-cently taken out weighed 12 pounds, and there was $5000 worth of Kold In It On shift a few clays ago took out $30,000. These are a few of the wonders of the National mine given Tho Tribune yesterday by G. W. Hartley, ono of the pioneers of the camp. Mr. Hartley Hart-ley went into National a year from last February and having exceptional facilities to pick up good ground, secured se-cured a group adjoining the National on the south His ground is G50 feet distant from the mouth of the Stall tunnel, which has been disclosing these wonders, and his property, now owned by the Charlestown Hill Mining Min-ing company, contains the southern extension of this famous vein and also of the two parallel veins Just east ot the main vein. Mr. Hartley has had 112 applications for leases on the Charlestown Hill group, but he has let only two so far, wtth the probabil-Ity probabil-Ity that one more will be given sonn. Ono of the leases given to Mr. Hartley and associates was to Herman H. Green of Salt Lake, the well known mining and smelting engineer, and tho Green lease soon will be ono of the busy spots of Nevada and a s-pot on which many eyes will be fooused. Should the Green lease hit tho name high grade as the Stall brothers now have end there Is every reason to believe be-lieve that It will Mr. Green and associates as-sociates have secured one of 1he most Inviting propositions In tho history of Hartley stated yesterday that the National camp now numbers Its Inhabitants by 1000. The town Is growing fast, and Ray D Harris, once connected with The Tribune, is editor and proprietor of a hustling paper called the National Miner. Besides the National property, the Radiator group is a producer, the Mayflower haa high-grade ore, and the Auto recently re-cently struck rich gold rock at a depth of fifty feet. From Wlnnemuc-ca Wlnnemuc-ca there are daily stage and auto transportation each way. Mr Hartley Hart-ley says that the old Ooldncld opera-tore, opera-tore, famed for their success in leaning, lean-ing, are coming into National, lured ly the wonderfully rich rock which the camp provides. WONDERS OF THE NATIONAL CAMP G, W Hartley, Pioneer of the Camp, -Give6 Facts That Stagger One. Salt T-ike, Aug. 19. One of the most remarkable mining camps ever diHcovered anywhere Is tho camp of National, Xev., about which Salt I.ako is slowly but surely hearing extremely extreme-ly favorable tidings. Held back for a year or two on account of litigation, the leading mine of the camp within one month of the resumption of development de-velopment work shipped out over $f.00.0.0 worth of gold ore. This was Phlpped from the Stall lease on tho property of the National Mining company, com-pany, the star performer of the Sagebrush Sage-brush .state at this time. Since bibt May, the National company com-pany itself has been Bending out about $2r.o,foo in gold per month This came from hlph-grade gold ore, and not all the hlch errndo discovered or extracted could bo Feparated from Its yellow metal content, for tho management man-agement Is treating only 400 pounds of gold ore each twenty-four hours. Tho little pan nrrastra mill treating treat-ing this small amount of rock daily is making tailings that average SO |
