Gold Mountain District.

Through the courtesy of George ).
Green we are enabled to publish the
following concerning the Gold Noun
tain mines:
Gold Mountain is the latest place
to command the attention of pros
pectors, experts and investors. The
district has received favorable men
ton in many OF the leading mining
journals of the country. The mines
are in Esmeralda county, about five
miles south Of Tonopah.
Several companies are pushin & de-
velopment work with great activity.
The ronopah Gold Mountain Com
pany, with J. L. Butler as President,
the Coehan Mining Company, the
Gold Mountain Consolidated, the
Lucky Tom Consolidated, and the
Tonopah Union Company, of which.
Senator-elect F. X Thorn is Presi-
dent, and Thos. Colehan, A. c. Stock
and A. L. Revert are large owners,
all have surface showings rivaling
Tonopah in its earlier days, There
are numerous Lodges passing through
the various locations. some of which
can be traced on the surface for a
distance of ten thousand feet. 1t
lies in the same mineralized zone with
Tonopah and the porphyry forma-
ton is identical with that of the
famous Mizpah ledge, The principal
lodges are six feet wide. In the To
nopah Union they have a six-foot
ledge averaging $50 per ton in free
gold, Groupings taken at intervals
along the course of the ledge in the
several mining claims mentioned as
sayed from Sl5 to 800 per ton, gold.
The principal ledge, which passes
through the Coiehan, Union and
Gold Monntan groups, was named
by ]. l.. Butler the Great Gold Fis-
sure. Assays from this ledge have
ranged as high as $50, 900 per ton.
Considerable 5000 ore has been sent
to the mill, aud some has been milled
which worked $3.50 per sack.
One appreciable advantage which
the new Esmeralda camp has over
Tonopah is that the values are all
gold and the ore is perfectly free
milling. The prospect at Gold Noun
tain warrants the belief that Esmc-
ralda county will soon have another
important gold producing camp with
| in her confines.
