STRIKES IT RICH.
George Richards and Boys are Dig
ging out Treasure.

The richest strike yet made has
been reported from the Jumbo mine
at Gcldfield. At first the report had
it that there was eighteen inches Of
ore that would average from $4,000
to $4,000 per ton, but the latest ad-
vices are to the effect that the rock
will not average quite that we'll nor
lis the ledge quite eighteen inches
wide. However, the strike is still rat
ed as the richest at Goldfield and none
richer was ever made for the quaint
ty of rock
The find is in lease No. 9 on the
Jumbo ledge. It is the same ledge
and a few feet beneath the same spot
where STRIFE Of $4,000 per ton ore at
a depth of eight feet was found some
wees ago. Shortly after the former
strike the ledge was struck at a depth
One thousand dollar ore was encouu-
tered at that depth. The ore since
that time has not averaged as we'll as
the first strikes would indicate but
some very good rock has been encoun-
tered in punches or kidneys.
From the fifty foot level big ,,,,-
raise was started and is now within
| fifteen feet of the surface At that
! point the present fabulous strike was
mado como fopr Soyc 90,
/ George w. Richards, one of the less
ees, telephoned to his son in Tonopah
at the time that the rock would go
$4,000, and that there were eighteen
/ inches of it. A second message last
night was that it was less in quantity
and value but still the biggest strike
in Goldfield.
Large assays We're secured from the
Vermilyea & Bartlett lease on the
same claim and ledge. but the streak
was only an inch or so less in width
A one half interest in the lease is
, held by G. w Richard. G. r. Richard
and L. l.. Richard one fourth by Yer
milyea & Bartlett. one eighth by y

The greatest excitement has follow

more such finds are hourly expected
to become -,nown.-Tonopah Sun
