Rawhide, Xev., March 24, 'OS. To the Pacific States Trust Co, Rawhide, New Gentlemen: In compliance with your request of March 20, 190S. I have examined your property, the Silent Friend, Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 lode claims. This, as you know, was not my first in troduction to the property, having been on the ground many times since July, 1907. These claims contain, all told, about 75 acres and are ih compact group, about 3000 feet In length by 1200 feet in width. They are now being surveyed for patent, which will definitely determine their area. They lie In the heart of the Rawhide Dis trict, about 1500 feet south of the Royal Tiger, Rushwacker, Wonder King and Jack Pots, and adjoining In the Rawhide Hills, Sheep Trail, Salmon and other noted properties. The topography of the group Is an unbroken side hill, sloping to the southeast at an angle of about 3 5 degrees. This hill Is probably the richest in camp, holding as It does the extremely rich Hoyal Tiger, Jack Pot, Bushwacker and Sheep Trull veins, all of which are being energet. lcally developed. The geology of the Silent Friend group Is strikingly similar to that of the proven properties, not only of this district but of the best camps fn the State. The oountry rock is a fine grained white, or cream colored rhyolite, greatly altered and fissured. This alteration Is directly due to a dacite dike, which runs the full length of the claim, 3000 feet. This dike, which is about 4 0 feet wide, can be traced for over a mile running due north and south and dipping to the west. It is so greatly altered and siliclfied that the original char acter of the rock is hard to deter mine. Silification becomes more complete as the hanging wall is ap proached, and it is here the Import ant ore bodies occur. Along tills West contact (or hanging wall of the dike I there are three well defined veins, all carrying values, the upper or wst vein, which is about four feet In width, being the richest. T ie similarity of the Silent Friend to the other well-known mines should be noted here. The formation Is identical with that of the fam ous Mohawk of tioldfield, as is also the occurrence of tho ore, the Silent Friend ore, however, carrying a lar ger proportion of silver. The Montgomery-Shoshone, of Bullfrog, is sim ilar In ore and occurrence; as is al- for their enormous production. Tho veins of tho Silent Friend are unde niably of the kind and they possess possibilities of large oro bodies not to he expected In the oullnary fis sure vein. It must be remembered that ores of this class are formed by the replacement of tho rock by the No. Claim Gold ' Hllver Tot'l Val. Oa. lior ton Valua Oz. per ton Vnluo Per ton No. 1. Silent Fr.

The veins of all these mines are of the tertiary period, and have been classed as porphyritlc, or porphyry veins by tho more noted geologists. Tertiary veins are known to be tile jnost productive in the w-orld, is witness tho Comstock lode, the veins of Cripple Creek, Tono jiah, Ilodie, IMoche, tioldfield,, Fair view and many other camps noted mineralized waters, and honca are not confined to uny narrow flsWures or channels. To illustrat etlils point the actual assay values of the cropping may bo taken. On the Silent Friend No. 2 at the south cropping, I tnok a Knmple across 20 feet of the dike or tho hanging wall side. The returns KHro-fS.DO gold and silver, 4 oz. per ton. Also across three feet of iiarlz the assays return was J 11.60 gold, nnd silver 61.2 making a total of $75.20 per ton. Knilosed Is a table showing the range of values aloag the vela during my examination. These assays, while astounding to the average man at first sight, rep resent tho values of tho high grade ore only, and nro selected Irom over 3tl assays 1 took when In quest ot high values. However, them nro two outcropping shoots, which show those high values nnd they llo over 1000 feet apart. Thoy both show a " width of oyer two feet, and while the oro may iot bo continuous for this dlntunve, . tho existence of other shoot,' is eomiluslvely proven both by ". "float" and tho placer gold In jte washes below tho ledge. Tho open cut on the west side of the Silent Friend No. 3 has opened the upper vein to good advantage, . nnd 1 advise pushing the work at ihls )'!!.. Your plan of leasing n!turtate Mocks Is, in my opinion (no fl method of develonmht In the Itn- ' 'iiu-::;g '"",n vvur wvt m undoubtedly follow the ore, und their work will hIiow, beyond a doubt, tho best method of development work to ho permanently pursued, iind the royalties accruing will lro wuio funds for this purpose. In conclusion 1 feel perfectly safe 1n snylng that YOU HAVIO TUB IIICBT l'.VIKVKUl-Kn PIKCH OK UHOI1NI) IN TIIK KAWHIDK DIS TRICT. Tho showings on tho Silent Friend group nro far better than nny other property hero has had on tho mirfaco, not excepting the Royal Ti ger or tho tirutt or llalloon lllll properties, and many other claims whoso present oro bodies wero found' only after tho most persistent search both above nnd underground and whoso Important "finds" wero, In a measure, accidental. You have a well deriued (like to fiillnw, with well marked ore shoots actually out cropping on Iho surface.
