slope for apples. The climate is es
pecially adapted to apple culture, there
being sufficient rainfall to cause the

The contour of the land, in the main.

Ing through the center of your prop

Oeology.
The formation consists of rhyollte
(on the foot wall) and quartxlte (on
the hanging wall), forming a contact,
traceable along the center of the strike.
along the apex of the hill. At this
contact frequent blowouts of andeelte
occur, which when crosscut from the
present level will prove the permanent
mineral-bearing cone. The shaft has
been sunk in the rhyollte (foot wall
country rock), in which numerous
trlngers of ore have been encountered,
carrying gold values ranging from
$1.80 to $10. Z9 per ton. These stringers
are all dipping toward the contact,
which indicates the presence of a large
and highly mtnerallz.d ore body at
the contact of the two formations
(rhyollte and quartxlte). The presence
of andeslte at the contact, together
with the distinct regularity of the for
mation, demonstrates the fact that this
property is situated in the same geo
logical horlson as Tonopah and Gold
field; in fact, the character of the for
mation is identically like Tonopah and
the most highly mineralized portion of
the Goldfleld district. The trend of the
formation is northerly, dipping at an
angle of 80 degress to the west.
Development.
The property is being developed
through a vertical shaft which Is now
145 feet in depth, from which a cross
cut is now being run westerly toward
the contact, approximately 150 feet to
the west of the shaft. With two shifts
at work, five feet per diem can be made,
which should enable you to encounter
the contact In from SO to 40 days.
Equipment.
The equipment consists of one 26 H.
