Owyhee River Strike Draws State Interest
Statewide attention follows the Owyhee River strike near Rio Tinto as J H Kershner arrives with ore samples. The vein shows copper with gold and silver values, with a 60 degree incline shaft meeting a gold quartz ledge at 43 feet below the collar. Development runs 18 men on three shifts, aiming to contact the high grade vein amid plans to mill at Rio Tinto or haul ore to Elko.

Work Completed At Whitelatch By Austin Silver Mining
Last week the Snyder segment of the Whitlatch vein from the 143 foot Camargo shaft level was finished by the Austin Silver Mining company. The vein on the Marshall can yon side south of Main street supplied mill feed for the flotation plant with substantial silver shipped. Portions mined earlier by first miners were revisited, with plans to work unexploited sections if feasible. About 3500 tons of ore have been taken from the Lite trell Snyder Camargo areas, and a mill run was made. From the Buffalo shaft lease on the 100 foot level of the Jack Pot mine, roughly three tons of ore mined by J R Sibbald and Al Britto has been sent to the smelter without concentration.
