a “VGRAND OUTLOOK. 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: established in the minds of the most conservative mining men who have lately inspected’ the property that it 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 day ‘PERSONAL Daily Record of the Doings of Our People. TENTION ; Albert Straub, who resides out at . Cement Hill, was one of the men who procured a package of seeds from the shipment kindly forwarded to the Transonit? office last Spring by Congressman Woods.

Senta Clara tomorrow, where her son 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 ago H.

Besides, black powder was expensive and quartz had to be very rich where it was used in order to be made a paying venture. Nowadays, with power drills and giant powder the development work in all mines can be expedited and satisfactorily accomplished at smaller expense; and this is so with the Murchie Consolidated., The rty of the Murchie Consolidated is quite extensive, consisting of 22 claims, and amounting to 432 acres _ which is covered by U.
