GOLD CRATER PICKINGS.
Especial Corrcspondcncc-)


The surrounding country has taken ON
new life since water has been struck in
the we'll on the Goldfeld road on the
fiat west Ct camp. Quite a number of
new lea, es have been let within the las,
week or two and people are coming in
nearly every day locking the camp over
with the view of investing.
All Of the mines under development
are looking well. The hub. owned by
Inman h Sanders. seems to be the
banner claim of the district. Samples
are taken out of this mine that rdn into
the pictures. You can get a good pan
ming out Of most auy old rock ON it.
Joe Smith, of Cripple Creek, Colo, is
pushing work on his two leases ON the
Hub and Manxman claims. He has
opened up a fine large ledge of quartz
and is getting good assays. The values
have more than doubled during the pro-
cess Of sinking the shaft. He expects to
soon be taking out shipping ore.
Work is also being pushed tn the Pea
cock claim. This property is looking
well. They have encountered II good
sized ledge with some high-grade ore in
it and have quite a little sacked ready
for shipment.
Sid Carey, who has charge of the
Curtis and Ridge property here in the
Crater district. came out from Goldfield
Tuesday. He is working two shifts on
the shaft and is pushing it down as fast
as possible. They are sinking a vertical
shaft at one side of the ledge and will
cross cut.
Tom Murphy has returned to camp
again. 1t is reported that he has bought
an interest in the Hub claim. If this is
true there will be something dong
around there soon.
Jim Moss and X. w. Griswold have
bought the No Savoy claim from Marsh
all Ward and will push development
work during the winter. They have
already opened up a lead OF quartz carry
ing good values with some very high
grade ore through it. We expect to see
this property shipping before spring
under the able management of Mr.. Moss.
Messrs. Robinson and Lander of Vic
tor, Colo, came in from Goldfield We'd
nesday with a prospecting outfit. They
intend prospecting in this and surround
ing districts for some time. Mr.. Robin
son was so well pleased with his first
visit that he said he had to come back
again.
Mr.. Wilson came out from Goldfeld
to his camp a few days ago. He and
others have some very promising pros
poets a few miles east of the Crater.
Quite il number of eastern mining
men have peer looking over the camp
lately with he view Of investing. They
are well pleased and say the surface
showingS are great.
Billy Beck, one of G,id Crater's bust
ness men, went to Goldfield quite sick
last week and returned a few deg ago
and is feeling much better. He reports
having had a good time and sa!s Gold
field has grown out OF sight.
Harry Manon is making a dying TIP
to BuliTros over the new road, BY way Of
Box canyon. This road IS sad to be
much nearer than the old road. he eH-
poets to return IN about "a week.
Frank Cook. the district recorder and
surveyor, returned TO camp from Gold
field, where he went on business last
week. He is kept quite busy surveying
mining claims and expect. to soon lay
off IN addition to the town on the south
side.
sam Spence passed through camp
from Goidfield Thursday on his way to
Trapman on business. The Trapman
mine is located gbout 70 miles east Of the
Crater. 1t comprises five claims and
was sold two weeks ago for $4,000 cash
to an eastern company. This property
had large bodies of very h~igh-grade
gold, silver and lead ore, but had little
or no development work done OIL it.
Court and Bells mine at Sinnepah,
five miles east of Gold Crater, was
bonded last month to an Eastern COM
pany for $780, COZ. A rich strike was
made some time ago on the property and
a force of men has been doing develop
ment work. They have opened up sew
erai well defined lodges with ore very
similar to the Goldfield ores.
