dent OF the January and is considered
of the best posted and most conser-
uatiee- mining engineers in the district:
July %, 1904.
DEAR SiR:-I have been q resident OF
this camp of Goldfeld since the 10th o
February last, and have been here every
day since with but two exceptions.
had charge of what is called the jan
nary lease, or a lease on the January
claim belonging to The Goldfeld Mining
Co. This property is situated north ana
east of Gosdfield and about III minutes
walk from the main street Of this town.
The leasers have taken ont. very rich
ore from the surface, averaging from
$3.50 to $1,000 per ton in gold by the car
load lot. Besides taking out all OF TINS
shipping ore which amounts to more than
S2OO,OOO since February 10Th, they have
a mill dump estimated at about 5000 tons
which is comnAonly called by them waste
and which runs from $l2 to $50 gold per
ton, and will average 81 to the ton
hroughout> This alone will run up into
thousands of dollars in value.
The mine is still looking fine, and their
output is from 10 to ~ tons daily OF
shipping ore, besides the mill rock. No
waste has ever been extracted from this
mine. They are down over 2cO feet and
the values still hold good They now
have a fine gallcws frame and steam
hoist and are doing an immense business.
The Combination mine, located south
east of the January, a distance OF 500 or
GOO feet, is also one of the great produc-
ers: the lowest level is at 235 feet depth
and still in f~irst-class ore. This property
was purchased some time ago by Chicago
and Boston parties and has more thar
paid its purchase price. Their ore has
averaged from $40 to $1,000 gold per
ton, the owners holding the ore that will
run from $l2 to 5000 per ton in gold for
their mill which has been contracted for.
The contract for the pipe line has been
let which will bring the water to their
property. a distance OF about ten miles;
they will have ,ienough.water to keep lou
stamps going day and night.
These two properties have caused a
great deal of excitement, which has re-
suited in considerable prospecting in the
hills, and the results are as follows:
The Hennessey Il Sweeney lease, sit
uated on the Florence claim, is doing
fine; they are taking out quartz ore that
is running very high and making regular
shipments Of 20 to 40 tons every few
days; they are sinking their shaft and
the values are holding out rs they gain
depth; this means a good one and will
hold up with the producers of this camp.
The Jumbo claim starts in with the
linn lease and almost from the start has
been shipping ore, averaging about the
same as other leases. They are still tax
ing out good shipping rock and have a
gasoline hoist about ready for erection.
The next lease on this claim is the Yer
milyea & Bartlett lease; this company
has been taking out fabulously rich ore,
and one days sacking assayed $241,OW
in gold per ton; the ore il 70 rich they
pound it down in a large mortar and
amalgamate it in gold pans, putting their
rich concentrates into kerosene cans.
This lease is also shipping large quanti-
ties of ore averaging from $3.50 to $1,000.
Next comes the Richard Il Elliott lease,
and this company is simply repeating
what the others are doing, getting very
rich results and coming money.
Then the Kernick, Mckane n
Bowes lease, taking ont plenty of ore,
sacking every day, and only last Sunday
taking out besides their other product, ID
sacks of ore that averaged a little better
than $1,000 to the sack, the sacks aver
aging in weight about no pounds.
Curtis 4 Ridge took a lease on what is
called the old Harvey shaft. These en-
terprising men crosscut two feet n way
and eighteen inches the other way. and
got into pay rock running from $500 to
5000 per ton and hosting from 20 to ~
tons Of this kind of ore daily. These
gentlemen in % days took out $57 Goa
worth of gold.
The st. Ives claim is another very
promising property which is cut up into
leases, the ore being sacked there today
by the McClelland and Wilson leases is
rich, ranging close to SGOl per ton. Al
most every leaser has ore and it is pan
ming fine, showing the values are there
and in the next few days they will be
sacking fine shipping rock.
Mr.. Rebel and his associates have
taken up the Atlanta and other property
adjoining the Jumbo and every days
work shows up fine results.
The Daisy near Diamondfield owned
by Frank Horton and others is looking
fine and they have from one to four feet
of ore that rum from $2c0 to 1900 per
ton; this will in the next two weeks be
another shipper.
The Black Buttes owned by Mr.. Ish
and bonded to Mr.. Patrick is another
great property; work will soon commence
on this property and the results will
show that Mr. Patrick is a good Judge of
mining claims in this district and will
