MINES OF SOUTHERN NEVADA. An Undeveloped District That Is Just Coming Into Prominence -““Prospects Are the Best. MUCH GOLD IN SIGHT. Experiments Are Be= ing Made. LACK OF WATER A DRAWBACK Rich Ore in Ibe Dumps—Capital to Be Invested—Neighbor ing Districts. In yesterday’s issue appeared a short account of the New Year's Gift and the Searchlight mines in southern Lincoln county. The mines and prospects of this section of the State, which is known as the Searchlight district, are attracting much attention. H. K. Freudenthal, Assessor of Lincoln county, has given the De Lamar lode, the following data regarding the dis trict. which promises to eventually be come one of the richest In the State. Reference having already been made to the New Year's Gift and the Search light mines, we will oomence this ar ticle with the Good Hope claim. The Good Hu< >e claim, which Is con sidered the richest in the district, is the property of Fred Colton. On this claim there is a shaft 100 feet deep sunk on the vein, and in sinking several carloads have been taken out and ship tied which averaged $125 In gold per ton Mr. Colton is at present in Salt Lake and will commence active work on his claim on his return. F. Perew has a number of claims upon which, taken altogether, some 300 feet h.i\e been sunk, two of which show tine values. K. .1 Coleman Is down about 50 feet on three of his claims and has a good showing. R ready Is opening up the Golden Treasure and Copper King On the Copper King a permanent working shaft Is now down 100 feet and a 50 foot shaft on the Golden Treasure. These two claims are parallel. At present they are drifting on the vein to connect the two shafts for air, and are running drifts, and the dump Is a milling prop osition The vein Is 18 feet wide and a conservative estimate is that the ore will average about *18 gold per ton. tn running a crosscut of 50 feet two veins were encountered, one four feet and one 18 inches wide, both averaging *30 in gold per ton A good whim has Just been put up and ten men are regularly employed; as soon as room can be made for more men they will be put on. So far all the ore taken out Is piled on the dump and w ill be until It is determined by the company the best method for Its treatment. It is estimated that there are 150,000 tons of ore In sight of a milling value of *13 In gold per ton. As depth ts attained values Increase, and this seems to "be general throughout all the mines. On the Goodenough and Rajah claims which are owned by Roller and Rovey, two shafts have been sunk to a depth of 70 feet, and both *hn«- a tine grade of ore. The Hopkins group consists of six claims: the Pope. Boston, Columbia. Massachusetts, Colonel and John C., and are In charge of F W. Dunn. The owners of this group are also part own ers of the Copper King end New Year’s Gift. On the Pope theie Is a perpen dlculai shaft 100 feet deep which cut diagonally through four veins, the smallest of which Is 14 Inches and the largest four feet; the milling value of these veins ts about *23 in gold and silver; from the liottom of this shaft a •rossctit has been run to tap seven par allel veins which crop out on the sur face. On the Columbia a 50 foot shaft has been sunk anil 30 foot drifts each way have been run on the vein. 30 Inches of which averages *30 In gold per ton. This vein as well as all other veins runs northeast and southwest The Columbia veins dip to the south east. while the Pope and Boston dip to the northwest. On the Columbia a double compartment shaft has been started for working purposes and at present In down i5 teet, and is being timbered in the best of manner. Sink ing will be continued on this shaft and It Is expected that at a depth of 300 feet the I’ope and Boston and Inter mediate veins lying between the Pope and Boston will all come together, as the veins show a marked course. On the Boston, a shaft on the vein has bet n sunk 220 feet deep, anil at the 100 foot station drifts both ways have been run 300 feet and at the 150 foot station, drifts each way 125 feet. At 205 feet water was encountered, and at this point a drift has been started to make connections with the double compart ment shaft, a distance of 150 feet. The crosscut is now in 80 feet and in this distance three blind veins have been passed through. 5 feet. 16 Inches and 7 feet in width respectively; the 7 foot vein Is mixed up with minerallxed por phry. Indicating that they are Just on the top of that vein: the 5 foot and 18 inch veins show n value of from $12 to $45 in gold. Ten men are at present employed, and as soon as the double compartment shaft is down, more men will be put on. The company is unde cided as yet whether they will put up a steam or gasoline hoist. Arrangements had been about completed for the erec tion of a large plant on the Colorado river, a distance of ten miles, and the erection of un electric trainway, but as water was found at 205 feet, they de termined to sink the double compart ment shaft down 500 feet, and If enough water could lie obtained the plant would be erected at the mine. Water Is the greatest drawback to the camp, as there is barely sufficient to supply the men in the district at present, and which in a measure accounts for the employment of only about forty men at day's pay in the camp, as all the water Is used up from the spring, and what has been recently struck In the mine; water Is also hauled Into camp from Matapl springs, a distance of twelve miles. The ground Is easily worked; the formation porphry. At Summit Springs, three miles southeast of Searchlight, Bolend Powell have bonded to Hop kins Dunn two claims, and they have a force of men on each property run ning tunnels; one tunnel Is in ,100 feet, showing vein full width of tunnel, the last 50 feet showing a fair grade of milling ore. The other tunnel is in 45 feet and shows a small vein of very high grade ore; one shipment from this vein, after paying $50 per ton for trans portation and reduction, gave a net of $04 per ton. Smith Bowman are sinking a shaft parallel o the .Boland claim. The vein Is the full width of the shaft and gives an a\ erage of $10 In gold per ton. In addition to all of these claims there are others being worked by Messrs. Barnes. Colton, Frye. Nelson and Dexter in the vicinity of Summit Springs, and are all good prospects. In the vicinity of the Hopkins group there are a number of claims being worked by Messrs. Wilson, Nelson. Livingston. Foreman. White, Courtrlght, Harrison, Vanderworker, and others; south of the Copper King and Golden Treasure are the Happy Jack. Klka, Mohawk, Haxine., Ram bling, Orinnel. Doctor, Bishop and a few others on which work Is being pushed, and which are considered to be worth while spending time and money on. At present there are two saloons, two stores, two boarding houses, one laun dry, ussay office and barber shop. S. H. Black is postmaster, B. Macready, Jus tice of the Peace, and J. C. Dexter is Deputy Sheriff. A school district has been established, also a road district. As soon as the water question is set tled and a supply assured. Searchlight will be the biggest camp In Lincoln county. GOOD SPRINGS Good Spiings is situated in the south eastern portion of Lincoln county, about 5*00 miles from Ploche and In the Yellow Pine Mining District. The Boss and Columbia group of mines, owned by H. White of Manse and others, have been purchased by Messrs. R. Seemens, Henry Hirschlng and Herbert Dabney, all men of means. They have erected at Good Springs a fine plant for the treatment of copper ores and entirely upon new principles and process. It is a leaching plant; thirty-two tanks have been put up. boilers, engines and pumps have been erected, all at a very great expense. Mr. Hirschlng is a chemist well known, and the secret of the ex traction of copper by leaching is his own. The success of this great enter prise means much for the mining world, as It will do away entirely with the roasting and smelting of copper ores. They have about forty men em ployed in the mines and around the works. A, O. Campbell has completed the surveying of twenty-five mining claims for patent. Twenty-one of the claims are lead and two arc copper. Mr. Campbell has shipped from the May Kirby heavy lead ore all winter. The line of the proposed railroad comes within six miles of this place, and It is sal*e to say that Mr, Campbell can sup ply the railroad with fifteen carloads of lead ore a day for years, a great item til Itself. The famous Potosl mine is also situ ated in this district. It was from this mine that the Indians and Mormons in the early days got their lead to make bullets. It also will be a heavy ship per. The Keystone mines and the Bearfoot mine are also among the number that have great showings, both having been good producers in the past. In addition to these there are many others of lesser note. A postofllce has been established at Good Springs, with S. E. Yount as postmaster. Mr. Yount is running a feed corral, store and saloon. Mrs. Smithson and Mr. Bullock are both running boarding houses. A school house will be built by the gentlemen putting up the copper plant, and a pe tition has been presented to the Board of Oomrtnissloners to have Los Vegas school district extended to take in Good Springs; also a road district has been petitioned for. and the appoint ment of a Justice of the Peaee. The mutl service, which is now once a week from Sandy to Moapa. by way of Good Springs, will be Increased to twice a week. There is also mail service from Manvel to Good Springs twice a week EL, DORADO CANYON This old time place has lain Idle for .marly a year, due to the sidling out of he Southwestern Mining Company's Interest under Marshal's sale, hut Is now on Its feet again. The ores of this ramp have been treated by the imalgamatton process hertofore, and when Mr Joseph What ton purchased the propertj under Marshal sale, he immediately went to wink to find the test process for the treatment of the ores of the lamp, and he found the cy inlde to be the best and has Just •reeted a 50-ton plant, which Is In barge of Mr. It. Eckts They have •lgfit tanks of 30 tons capacity. The xtractlon shows a high per cent, and •0 hours Is all that is necessary to ex tract Its values. The plunt was started up on the 13th of April, and at present Is working on tailings. The old 16 stamp mill which has been a landmark for El Dorado Canyon for thirty years will soon be dismantled to make room for additional tanks, ns It is the inten tion to increase the eapacltj’ to 300 tons per day. John iluess has Just disposed of his interest in some mines there to Mr. Eekls for $2,500 cash. Mr. McGregor has offered his propertj' for $x,000 cash to the same gentleman, and It Is to be inken up at that figure. F. and B. Wagner have bonded to H. C. Carver of Oakland. Cal representing the Pa lflc Development Co., the Daisy Bell. Yankey Dewey. Big Bertha and Olym pia, for $6,000. The Dolly Gold Hill and Mining Co., operating one mile south of El Dorado Canyon, have some verj- fine prospects. Messrs. Monaghan At Murphy of Needles. Cal have a 5-stump null six miles below El Dorado Canyon which will soon start up. as they have made an rnrportant strike in one of their mines. TRMI'M? BAB. Temple Bar Is situated cm the Colo rado river. In the southern portion of the county, and twelve miles above BonelH's F—. V.
