Strike to the West.
Inman and Sanders, who were the
first to discover gold at what is now
Gold Crater, have, made strike of con-
siderable importance 6 miles west of
here on group of five claims they own
in that locality. In prospecting a ledge
of quartz that outcrops on the property
they have opened up from to &
feet of ore that carries values close to
$40 per ton. The quartz resembles
very closely that found generally in
camp and shows strong naturalization.
The group lies on the fiat some distance
this side of the wall that skirts the west
ern limits of the district. All of the
ledge, which in places is fully II feet in
width, pans colors and the owners be-
lieve they have most encouraging
prospect of opening up a big body of
milling ore and, perhaps, a shoot Of
shipping grade. They will thoroughly
explore the ledge with this end in view.
Goldfield. Diamond.
Drifting from the bottom of the So
foot shaft is progressing favorably.
Sinking-of the shaft will be continued
to the lOO-foo level and drifts will then
be run on the lodges. Work on the
ledge with the view to opening up other
bodies of ore $50 and $50 feet to the
west of the shaft is being continued.
The Tonopah- -Goldfeld railroad will
cross about the center of this company's
claims, which will greatly facilitate
shipping of it's ore, and spur tracks have
been arranged for to run from the main
track to the dumps.
Los Angeles Coldfield.
Most encouraging paintings have
recently been obtained from the incline
shaft being put down by the Los Angeles
Goldfield company on the Frances group,
east of town. The shaft, which has
reached depth of over 80 feet, follows
the foot wall of 10 foot ledge. In some
places this lead shows from 80 to 40 feet
in width. A systematic plan of devel-
opment is being prosecuted and news of
an important strike on the property
may be looked for almost any day.
Two Groups.
w. w. Kirby, representing Wright
Lilly & Co., one of the leading mining
and brokerage firms of Colorado Springs,
and also syndicate of Denver capital
lists, has purchased the Sierra and De-
troit groups of mining claims. Both
properties are to be thoroughly devel-
oped. Mr.. Kirby left the latter part of
the week for Bullfrog to examine a
number of properties with a view to
purchasing.
Progress on Milling Plant.
Rapid progress is being made on the
milling plant that is being built short
distance northwest OF the city by Los
Angeles capitalists. Several wells, from
which water supply is to be pumped,
are being dug and decidedly encourage
ing results are being obtained. The
machinery for the mill has been ordered
and is now in transit. The plant will be
of SO tons daily capacity and equipped
with plates and concentrators. 1t is in
tended for custom work.
Doran Lease Showing Well.
The showing on the Doran lease on
the Combination No. 3 claim continues
to improve with every foot of develop
ment. A depth of AZ feet has been at
tained and crosscutting is now under
way. Though the values are somewhat
spotted every thing, including the por-
phyry, pans well and the prospect of
opening up high-grade shoot OF ore is
decidedly bright. Some ore of good
milling grade has been exposed.
Coldfield Blue Bell.
President Mernin of the Goldtield
Blue Bell is quite jubilant this week
over some paintings which they have
gotten from new place on the ledge on
the Neversweat claim. The paintings
indicate values of at least $50 per ton,
and if nothing bigger is found on the
surface, shaft will be started at this
point.
St. Ives Shipment.
A shipment of Is tons of ore that will
average $500 per ton was sent out this
week from the McClelland lease on the
st. Ives. Another shipment is now ready
from the Wilson lease No. l.
