Railroad Right of Way.

Clarence Oddie, J. T. Overbury and
ii. Chickering are in camp this week Sc
curing the right of way for different
proposed routes into this camp for the
Goldfield-Tonopah railroad. For the
good of the camp it is to be hoped that
no one over whose ground the company
wishes a right OF way will be so short
sighted as to make unreasonable de-
mands, and so far no one has done SO.
While nothing official is given out it is
believed that if the right of way is se-
cured, the main depot will be at the
town of Goldfield.

to such an extent during the past ten
days that it makes that property look

Brooklyn Group.

The survey of the Brooklyn group has
been completed and in the course of a
day or 50 active development work will
be inaugurated. The property will first
be Systematically prospected along big
ledge that passes through the ground
and shows prominent indications OF
heavy naturalization. In places this
ledge ASSAYS big and the general forma-
ton is favorable to the opening up OF a
shippinu mine.

Empire-Coldfield Company.

The shaft on the Silver Tip No. 10
claim of the Empire-Goldfield company
has reached depth of 50 feet on the
ledge and drifting is under way both
north and south to thoroughly explode
the ore body. The bottom of the shaft
is all in splendid looking quartz and
values have been consistently main
tanned The showing is in every sense
very gratifying to Marvin Ish, the gen.
era, manoger, who states that he is very
much encouraged and also confident he
will open up big body of high grade
| shipping ore before very long.

The Grandma.

Work has been started on the Grand
ma claim, now belonging to the Grand
ma company, corporation recently
formed in Denver. The property adj
joins the Spearhead on the north and is
in direct line with the trend of the
jumbo Florence Combination ore zone.
Gin this property clearly defined ledge
has been opened up to depth of IA feet
where values have been found that APP
proach milling grade. Judging from
the surface showing and the splendid To-
cation OF the ground there should be
very little doubt of opening up big
body of shining ore.

The Kendall

At a depth of 80 feet the shaft that is
being put down on the Kendall claim by
lessees Oddie, Gardner and associates
has cut through an 8-foot ledge that
samples $50 in gold clear across. The
ledge matter is quartz. The shaft has
now attained depth of over 100 feet
and will be continued to the 20O-foot
level without delay. 1t is now passing
through porphyry that carries values
from S. to $l2 per ton, showing that a
great deal of the country rock adjacent
to the ore bodies has been more or less
heavily mineralized. Very rich ore is
being sacked from the new shoot opened
some time ago, although no effort is
being made at big output as the mill
will be in operation early next month.
A shipment of 10 tons will be sent out
about the 10th of this month that will
probably be the last consigned to the
smelter, as it is the purpose of the les
sees to reduce all the ore at the mine.
The hoist is being installed and will be
started up early next week. The mill
and mile and half of pipe line is in
transit and will reach the mine in about
10 days.

on the Apex. A big shipper in that
section would give added importance to
the district and materially extend the
proved mineral belt. Four sets of les
sees are at work on the group.
The Velvet.
A fault in the Velvet ledge that has
for some time puzzled the lessees
has at last been solved and the mine
is said to be again in good ore. At a
depth of about 80 feet the lead, which
was dipping northeast, broke over to
approximately the same angle in the
opposite direction. The incline shaft
was continued through the ledge for
some distance. At so foot depth cross
cut was driven west that has caught the
ledge and there is now showing 3la feet
OF ore that pans nicely. 1t is probable
a perpendicular working shaft will be
put down west of the present one to
open the ledge at greater depth on its
dip.
Florence Lease.
On the 250-foot level of Florence Lease
No. 3, dead work necessary to the ex-
traction of ore has been completed and
from now until the expiration OF the
lease, January 10, the output will be
maintained at the highest possible point.
The ore bodies Oh the lowest level show
as big and rich as above, stamping the
Florence as one of the great mines of the
district. From 10 to 70 tons of shipping
ore will be the daily production. Ross
Woodward and associates, leasing on
the north end of the claim, are sacking

Strike on the Little Joker.

In surface trench but 2 feet deep a
ledge feet wide has been opened up on
the Little Joker Fraction which is sur
rounded by such well known properties
as the Potlach, Rosebuch and Lazy
George of the Lone Star company, and
the Goldfield Blue Bell. No assays have
been made but paintings indicate ship
ping values. Walter ID. O'Brien has
taken a bond on the property for the
firm of O'Brien Il Johnstone.

Tonopah Club

Work on the Tonopah Club claim of
the Conquerer Mining company has been
directed to definitely determining the
extent of the ore body that crosses the
ground. With this end in view the man.
agement has had men at work trench
ing along the ledge. This work has
proved the ore shoot a distance of 300
feet farther to the east, giving contin-
uous body of ore 600 feet in length. In
many places the values have materially
i'm ncreased over those found where the
ore was first uncovered, making the
showing decidedly remarkable. Another
important feature is the finding of more
quartz as development progresses and
the corresponding disappearance of the
shaly formation that was so prominent
when the ledge was first exposed. When
the extent of the shoot has been def
nitely determined and the location of
the richer lenses of ore deep working
shaft will be put down to systematically
open up the property.
On the Bonanza claim of the same
company strong lead has been opened
in several places and the force of men is
engaged in exploration work and are
meeting with very satisfactory results.
Considerable quantities of good milling
ore have been exposed of a value OF from
$40 to $50 per ton. The ledge dips con-
siderably and has trend toward the
Black Rock group, where development
is under progress with very encouraging
results.

The Black Butte.

Vein after vein is being cut by the
tunnel on the. Black Butte, which has
been driven a distance OF $40 feet on the
property. The management expects to
cut the extension of the Quartzite ledge
most any day. As development pro-
crosses the vast reserve of milling ore is
constantly being added to.

Well, girls" continued the dashing
Californian, I'm bet anything the noor
