The Murchic Mine Is increasing In
“Richness Dally as Development
Work Proceeds.
S development work progresses at the Murchie mine
the great resources and value of the property are confirmed beyond any possible doubt, and the fact is now. 7:

is one of the best propositions being worked in Nevada).
county and when thoroughly opened up and developed will
prove a veritable bonanza for its lucky stockholdets, as well
as one of the most dependable mines in this district, for
many years to come. :
For several weeks past it has been generally known that
a large body of high grade ore had been encountered and
the ledge, as further developed, continues to improve in richness and size. Yesterday a TRANSCRIPT reporter visited the
mine and was given the privilege of inspecting the entire
underground workings of the property. All the glowing
statements and flattering reports which have been in circulation recently concerning this mine, and published by this
paper were verified in every particular by what he saw and it
is a matter of surprise to him, as well as to all others who
have seen the large ledges of rich ore just recently uNCOV-. ton,
ered, that such,a valuable and promising property should. ,
have remained unworked and undeveloped for so many years.
But it should be borne in mind that the methods and sys—
tems employed in the development of mining properties years
ago were very crude and haphazard in comparison to the
scientific and modern methods now employed.
At present about thirty men are employed at the mine
and mill but when the property has been gotten into shape
and the projected preliminary improvements have been made
it is estimated that the mine will furnish steady employment
to at least 200 men. The ore from the mine is at present

is thoroughly unwatered and opened up, a mill will be built
and will contain all the latest improved machinery and capa~
ble of working many tons or ore daily. Even at the present
time it is conceded that there is enough first-grade quartz in
sight to keep a forty-stamp mill busy for many years.
The work at the Murchie property is being conducted
under the skilled management of Superintendent J. C. Campbell, while A: Maltman, one of the very best metallurgists on
the Coast, superintends the milling operations. The stockholders of the Murchie Consolidated did a wise thing when
they assigned the management of the mine to such au efficient and capable mining man as Mr. Campbell,: as he justly
enjoys the reputation of being one of the best mining engineers in the West. Mr. Maltman is also one of the very
_ best experts in his line, having spent considerable time in
New Zealand recently, and has operated in other poted mining centers and the Murchie Company is indeed fortunate in
being able to secure the services of such a first-class man to
take charge of its milling operations.
The directors and stockholders of the Murchie are all
prominent business men of high standing in San Francisco
and therefore are men of-honesty and integrity who interest
themselves in honest mining ventures and have no use for
“wild-cat” speculation. This fact has great significance and
is of itself a flattering testimonial of the mine’s intrinsic
value and standing.
Under the excellent management of Superintendent
Campbell great progress has been made in development work
in the short time that the new company has operated the
property. A considerable amount of this work has been
expended in running a drift from the 400-foot level in a
northerly direction, and it is at this point where a rich ledge
of ore, several feet in thickness was uncovered. The
find was first encountered at a point about 360 feet from the
shaft and subsequent exploitations fail to. show any indica—
tions of the vein being disturbed above that point or beneath
as far down as the 7oolevel. In the new drift of the 400
Jevel the miners encountered an unusually rich and heavily
sulphuretted body of ore, the assays of which run trom
$500 to $700 to the ton. This big pillar of ore was found
to result from the intersection or crossing of two distinct
veins, viz: the Independent and Big Blue ledges. So far as
has been ascertained this is the first time in the history of
the mine where the crossing point of two of the main quartz
veins has been encountered, and it is sure to prove a valuable
and fortunate discovery. Both of these ledges are now being
thoroughly explored and prospected for a great distance. No
work is being done below the 400-foot level, but development
work will be commenced in the lower levels as fast as the
pumps lower the water. The new and modern hoisting and
pumping machinery which has been recently installed is running smoothly and perfectly.
It has always been claimed that the footwalls.of the
Murchie’s ore veins were of granite formation, but Mr. Campbell states that he has failed to find any.evidence to substan tiate thistheory. On the contrary, however, he has found
that the composition of the walls is mixed, being partially
slate, and he is confident of encountering other rich ledges
of ore when he cuts through the hanging-wall. He assigns as one reason why the development of the mine was
not more successfully accomplished in years gone by was because black powder was used at that time and the results
