Info Title:
Womack Gold Mining Co. Pushing Work on Shoofly
The Womack Gold Mining company is pushing development on their "Shoofly" claim which adjoins the Gold King and Reno company's claims on Womack hill. The main working shaft is down 100 feet in a strong north and south vein.
graphic for visual presentation of text At a depth of 75 feet short crosscuts were driven east and west without showing the walls of the vein. The whole vein matter for a width of more than 20 feet runs from $1 to $10 in gold per ton. The shaft is being timbered and will be sunk to a depth of 200 feet before drifting is done. At that depth pay ore will in all probability be encountered. The company is arranging for a first-class hoisting plant for the Shoofly.

Info Title:
Challidon Mining and Milling Co. With Good Indications of Mineral
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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text 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.
graphic for visual presentation of text Among those having already good indications of mineral are properties of the Challidon Mining and Milling company on Tenderfoot hill.
