Chas. F. Maunder has taken charge of
lease No. on the February and started
to work Wednesday. This lease is owned
by Vermilyea & Bartlett of Tonopah, and
others.
The shaft on the Goldfeld- -VindicatOr
group is down 30 feet, at which point a
crosscut is being run to tap the ledge.
The indications are that this will be done
shortly as the formation and assays are
growing better.
'Diamondfield Jack" Davis and asso,
ciates have let two leases on the Daisy
group, and are doing work on their own
account. A new ledge has been opened
up about lO0 feet south from the one on
which Jas. p Harvey worked. This new
ledge shows free gold and pans nicely

yet. Jas. P. Harvey, acting for Patsy
Clark has forfeited his bond on the
Daisy and Vernal groups, but there are
several other parties now figuring on the
properties.

THE GREATEST EVER KNOWN
Improvement in January and Showing sh Black Butte
Help to Clinch This Appelation Godfeld.

Butte claims near Diamondield to Chas D. Lane,
one of the wealthiest and most aggressive min
ing operators in the west. The consideration
is 100000, of which $4,000 paid down,
500, 900 is to be paid in six months, and Sloo-
900 year from date of sale.
An illustration of the way Mr. Lane goes at
things IS the fact that the day he made
the deal he started three shifts of men to work
and it can be safely assumed that within few
months he will show what is in the hill on
which the Black Buttes are located. He says
that he does not care for shipping ore-plenty
of $40 rock is all he asks for. AS to the mat
ter of water supply for the mill he is not wor-
rying, for if sufficient cannot be developed close
at hand Gas seems now assured) he will have it
brought in from Rye Patch, or from the White
Mountains 60 miles away. All he wants is a
sufficient body of $Io or better-he knows
where he can get the water. When the devel-
opment satisfies Mr.. Lane of the value of the
property he will doubtless erect reduction
plant of large capacity.
That he will be thus satisfied seems beyond
doubt At the point where the tunnel is being
driven, the ledge pans free gold gold all the way
across the surface for feet, and there are
several hundred thousand tons of ore exposed
by nature. When the tunnel was in II feet,
samples from the sides, top and bottom averag-
ed between $50 and $50 per ton. When the
last two shots were put in at Mr.. Lanes request,
the showing was better than ever, much OF the
rock showing visible gold.
c. M Tozer Mr.. Lanes representative, will
remain on the ground for some time, and Sol
Camp, formerly superintendent OF the Elkton
mine at Cripple Creek, will have charge of the
work The deal was made through Chris. Nc
Carthy.

Those who have watched the developments
upon the lease of Kendall, Reilly, Patrick and
Jones on the January have been continually
apprehensive that the values in the ore would
decrease as depth was gained and the ore bod
les wdened out. When a crosscut from the
main shaft showed IS feet of ore, with only one
wall in sight, it seemed more than probable that
the value per ton would go lower. 1t appeared
almost impossible that the January would show
up even better with further development But
nevertheless, such is the fact.
The crosscut to the south from the 90 foot
point in the new shaft is in IS feet and every
foot Of It-every pound Of It's ore Of good
grade. When ore from the high grade streaks
has been sorted out for shipment he balance
will mill from $40 to $50 per ton
To add to this showing, richer ore than before
encountered in the January is coming from the
west drift In the face of this drift there are
8 feet of ore and feet of this is exceptionally
rich A specimen assay taken yesterday went
So7S3 to the ton in gold-the highest assay yet
from this property.
The main shaft is down 165 feet and is all in
ore. The lessees taking out from 800 to 500
sacks of ore daily. The screenings that go
through the grizzly from SI2o to $I4o per
ton and the coarse rock goes from $3.50 to S275
per ton. Notwithstanding steady shipments
there are nearly 900 tons of shipping ore on the
dump. The mill dump now aggregates above
1000 tons.

Florence Lease No. 3.

The suitcase of Smith, Athearn, Dur

Its phenomenal showing. The sub les
sees have upraised from the crosscut to
the surface, installed whip and are
now sinking. They are down Is feet and
the high grade ore continues to 60 down
from the point where it was first struck.
The rich pay streak is from l8 to 81 inches
wide, occasionally widening out to feet.
The average value of this body is over
$s5UO ton. The ore is all being sacked
below ground and shipment will soon
go out.

Keane, McrfahOn q Fletcher's.

E. l.. Fletcher was In from Diamond
field Tuesday and for the first time to
the writer's knowledge showed real en-
thusiasm over the showing IN the Great
Bend group. Mr.. Fletcher and his part
ners have always been very conservative
but they are now willing to acknowledge
that they have something good. They
are prosecuting from the rs foot point in
the shaft and drifting both ways on the
ledge When the crosscut had pene
trated the ledge I71a feet they thought
they had the hanging WALL but breaking
into it they found 10 inches in width
which averages better than $500 per ton.
They are continuing this crosscut and
find nothing but ore. In the drifts both
ways on the ledge the showing improves
with every foot of development and the
average values are getting better daily.
The days of doubts have passed and the
boys will be rewarded for the faith which
induced them to do their own develop
ment without the aid of outside capital.
