Notes:

Peter Nolan is taking out some fine sylvanite ore from his lease on the south end of the Lincoln property.

The Virgina M. office has on exhibition a magnificent sample of ore from the strike on the Lincoln lode on Wednesday. It is granite and decomposed quartz, running very high on assay.

A two days' jaunt on horseback took me from Rhyolite hill, on the north, to Grouse mountain, on the south, and from Pisgah, on the west, to Wilson creek, on the east, within which boundaries some four thousand claims have been located.
The greater part of those have nothing more than the assessment work done upon them, and in many instances, this has been so indifferently done, and with such an utter abandon and disregard of the statues, that they cannot be held for a moment to comply with the legal requirements.
But, in traversing Ennis, Globe, Gold, Bull, Tenderfoot, Womack, Mineral and a score or more of hills in the district, sources of Cripple, Wilson, Requa, Squaw and other water courses, I came upon scores of properties that were being developed with more or less vigor and intelligence, some with tunnels or inclines, others with shafts or open cuts, and the owners of each full of hope and expectations.
Among those having already good indications of mineral was the Lincoln lode claim in Squaw Gulch. From statements made to me by different parties I have that the Lincoln had $28 to $40 in Smelter or Mill Returns.
