The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1904-10-28

The old reliable January, the second
mine opened at Goldfeld and which is
owned BY the Goldfield Mining company
and operated by Lessees Patrick, Jones,
Kendall and Reilly, is to the front thi-
week with a new strike which promise :,
to put into the shade its former great
record. The strike was made in the ~
foot level at point 1S0 feet south If the
shaft. At this point a cross ledge yas
encountered and 1 feet of it averages
$500 per ton. This is not one sample
that goes $500 per ton, but is the aver
age of the ore az it is being daily sacked.
s. Judging from the past history of the
mine in regard to the main ledge, thi-
cross ledge will be opened up in each Of
the lower levels and if it is as rich az
those points the January is in the race
for the honor of being the bonanza pro-
ducer of Goldfeld. The lessees are now
raising an average of 10 tons day II
this fabulous ore, and about 25 tons daily
of mill ore worth $50 per ton. As has
been the case nearly all the time since
work was started, no waste Is being en-
countered, hence none is raised. Th,
new shaft is down 235 feet and a drift
Started at that point.
Tonopah Club Getting Better.
As development proceeds on the Tono-
'pah Club, it begins tn look more and
more certain that the Conquerer Mining
company, of which Henry Weber, Mar
vim L. Ish and Ed lleubach are the prin-
cipal owners, would have the bonanZa
mine of the bonanza mining camp.
They have not as yet found any ore so
rich as was found on the Kendall, jun
bo or Quartzite though it is rich enough
in all conscience-but the remarkable
width of ore Of shipping grade is what
makes it seem probable thatit will pro-
duce ore Of greater aggregate value than
any mine in camp. In the length Of
200 feet for which the ledge is opened
up, it has ain average width OF about ~
feet and numerous paintings made dur
ing the week Indicate that this entire
block will average $3.50 per ton. During
the progress of the work an average
sample across 3 feet was taken and the
,pannlng indicated values Of 81 600 per
ton An assay of SOME Of the poorer
looking rock close by returned values Of
1861 per ton. The walls are clearly de-
fined and in sinking Is feet the ledge has
Strengthened up and is now almost pei
.pendcular. In sinking he shaft THE
values continue to increase and it is the
intention of the owners to sink to II
depth Of 100 feet before crosscutting.
The results will be watched with inter
est by the entire camp.
The Quartzite.
Thesthird car of ore was shipped this
week from the Diamondfield Gold Min
ing company's Quartzite claim by Lessee
B. j. Reilly and associates. The ore as
slipred will average about $500 per ton.
A whi,n is being installed and the shaft
is now down 20 feet. When 100 fee.
depth is gained the ledge will be again
.crOsscut. As has been stated before,
the ledge at the 40-foot level has been
proved fora width of "a feet, with only
one wall in sight. The average value
clear across has been put as high as 5000
per ton, but Mr.. Reilly states that care
ful and repeated sampling shows that
the average value of the entire "a feet is
between $50 ard so per ton, with some
very rich streaks. One streak, about 8
inches wide, showed an average value of
$40, 700 per ton. Mr.. Reilly is very con-
servative and these figures may be relied
upon as well within the truth.
In the lease of Zeb Kendall and asso-
ciates, also on the Quartzte. stringers of
ore showing good values are being en-
countered i'm both drifts.
The Jumbo.
The McDonald-Full lease is now the
lively spot on the Jumbo and both
through their own shaft and the Bowes-
Kernick shaft, the rich ore is being ia
ken out in hig quantities. On Monday
night over a carload Of screenings alone
were taken out and this rate of produc
ton will probably be kept up during
the remaining life of the lease, There
