The GREATNESS
OF GOLDFIELD
Development Work is Prov
ing Its Permanence.
The Combination Mine Continues to
Show Rich Ore Below Water
Leyel.-.Other Mines.

The influx to Goldfeld is undated
and this week has seen the arrival Of
representatives of capital and oper-
ators, not alone from all parts of
America but from British Columbia
and Europe to the camp that with
Tonopah will make Nevada the
exposure OF the world for years TO
come. The majority of these men
are not ''wildcatters' nor are they
men who hope to get rich quick, but
are willing to pay for a good pros
pect and open it up in the hope OF
developing a mine. Very few go
away empty handed and so the invest
ment of outside capital grows in
volume.
THE COMB NATION.
The shaft is down 800 feet and the
flow of water is easily handled with
buckets, the sulphide ores are carry
ing splendid values fully equal TO the
oxidized ores, Grading for the mill
is completed and timbers and ma.
chinery are daily expected to arrive.
II JANUARY.
Only small shipments Of highest
grade ore are being shipped, but
enormous quantities Of milling ore
running from $40 to 5000 per ton are
being put on the dump, which il is
confidently believed can be milled for
IS per ton, yielding a much greater
/, profit than by sorting and shipping.
!. sT. IVES.
The sacking Of ore from the recent
/ strike on the Joshua Club lease pro-
crosses satisfactorily.
VELVET.
, The lessees here are sacking $4,000
. ore from a vein nearly two feet wide

I JUMBO.
The so II. 2. steam hoist from the
]. Tonopah City mine was hauled this
/, week to the Fuller Mcdonald lease,
which will hereafter be worked in
Il conjunction with the Bowes- Kernick
lease. High grade ore is still being
> raised from the latter and there is
o still a big pile of sacked ore on the
! dunn. A return from 239 sacks,
about q, 600 pounds, was received
n this week, the net value less haulage,
freight and treatment charges being
q over $8l 900. At. the Zinn lease
splendid ore is being mined from an
a upraise from the fifty foot level. Three
/, car loads from this lease netted $l7,-
900, and the original $50 shares are
III quoted at $4,000.
