has been found to a depth OF 600 feet,
with no dminution Of values.
Goldheld has produced to date about
S3J00000. Since the first ore was not
shipped until November, 1908, and the
Jumbo mine aid not begin It's big pro-
duction until March Of this year, this
record Is a phenomenal one and has
scarcely been equaled by any other
camp in the world New strikes are
being made so rapidly, and new ship
pers coming In, that It IS hardly possI-
BILE to predict the total amount for the
year with accuracy, suffice II 10 say
that II will produce over twice as much
IN It's first year as did Cripple Creek in
the first two years Of It's existence,
GRADE is VERY HIGH,
The grade Of ore at Goldheld is very
high and some wonderfully rich ship
ments have been made In one OF the
leases on the Jumbo mine there Is a
breast OF ore over four feet wide, ay-
eraging better than $1,000 per ton. In
another lease the owner reduces the
free gold In a mortar and takes out
over $1,000 per day, which Is sent d.

general ore runs $3.50 per ton and the
sorted ore $3.50 per ton. on the Ken
dan claims, two miles north Of the
Jumbo, ore Is sacked running $4,000 to
the ton. At the Lone Star property
$500 TO 500 ore Is being sacked from
about two feet Of the vein, the balance
Of the vein being a good grade Of mill
ore. on the Quart2te Of the Diamond
field company, over three miles from
the original find in the Combination,
ore Is found running from $500 to $4,000
per ton. Recent strikes have been made
on the Tonopah club Rose Bush, Sill

BARREN AT THE SURFACE,
As rule the veins Of the Gollaeld
district are practically barren az the
surface. IL Us seldom that as avs Of
more than s. TO Sc can De obtained.
Why this Is so has not yet been eX-
planned from geological standpoint
but Il Is fact nevertheless. The rule
Is IN gold camps that the values are
concentrated near the top OF the vein
and are consequently higher for the
first few feet, but Golddeld rs the cXcep-
ton 10 the rule as almost invariably
the veins are barren for from six TO 10
feet In depth When the barren portion
Is passed through the orc WI change

TO 500 per ton or better This condi'

There are exceptions to this rule IN
the Goldheld district such as the Vel
vet, Sandstone and Tonopah Club,
whore the values came directly 70 the
aurface. on the other hand In tho
Silver Pick property Il was necessary TO
slnk 10 feet IN the vein which gave
only 81 per ton before the orc shoot was
reached, which yielded values Of SlOO |

before values exceeding $500 per ton
were found.
