interest. The other lessees on the Saint Ives
are sinking before crosscutting to the ledge.
On the Algae claim of the Spearhead group,
owned by Smith & Kernick, the Saint Ives
ledge was opened up Monday by Smith, San
ders and Fuller, lessees. Here it is feet wide
and the values are we'll distributed throughout
Some of the paintings indicate values of $500
or $500 per ton and it is thought a good per-
centage of the Io-foot ledge will pay to ship.
Sanders & 1nman have taken another lease and
several more will be granted the coming week.
The rich ore shoot on the Florence lease No.
3 has been again tapped on the 1oofoot level
and the values fully maintained at this
depth. shipment of IS tons went out from
this lease during the week and when the smell
ter returns are received the conservatism of
THE News will be again demonstrated.
The Combination continues to show up bet
ter ore daily. A rich streak, nearly the full
width of the shaft, has just been gone through,
and the values go from $4oO to 5000 per ton.
Eight tons which were sacked one day will 60
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per ton-SI per
pound There is now question but the
Combination has tellurium The shaft is
down 237 feet, and level at this point will be
started at once. There 100 sacks of ship
ping ore now on the Combination dump.
The lease of Kendall Reilly Jones and Pat
rick on the January continues to improve. In
the west drift at the 5o-foot level the showing
is immense. The shipping ore is from 3 tos
feet wide and runs from $15o to $500 per ton.
The same drift at the S5-foot level has 7 feet of
ore of about the same grade. At the 112-foot
level they are stripping rich ore in ledge 10
feet wide with no walls in sight At the bot
tom of the old incline shaft-2o2 feet in depth
"a crosscut will be run to determine how wide
the ledge really is. Shipments made nearly
every day. but still there are over 5000 sacks
on the dump. A steam hoist has been ordered
and will arrive shortly when the production
will be further increased.

In week replete with sensational develop
ments in the mines and prospects of Godheld
the biggest is in another lease a property
that is evidently we'll named-the Jumbo. This
time it is what is known as the Kernck &
Bowes lease. The ore was first opened up just
before going to press last week, but the strike
has been showing better with every hours
work since. Assays of the ore go from the
hundreds to several thousand dollars per ton in
many cases. and paintings show long strings of
colors which very convincing as to values
The gold is not only in the seams, but is mixed
clear through the quartz, and even the loose
sand on the surface pans big. Five feet of the
ore will pay to ship and the lessees already
sacking. A shaft, which is being sunk in the
porphyry, is now down 80 feet and the ledge
will be crosscut at so feet.
ExTRA-Just before going to press attorney
S. E. Vermlyea, Of Tonopah, made panning
at THE News Office from a small piece of the
Jumbo rock and the amount of gold, fine and
coarse, fairly staggered him. Said he: eff
should tell man of that panning, without he
was present when it was made, and he should
tell me lied wouldn't blame him. 1t is al
most unbelievable"
On the Richard, Cowing and Burns lease, the
1essees are drifting from the shaft to tap the
rich ore shoot that was opened up on the sur
face last week.
Probably the richest yet found in Gold
field was opened up almost at the surface by
Geo. McCleliand in his lease on the Saint Ives.
A two-nch streak has ore as freely speckled
with visible gold as the healthy boys face is
with freckles. This is decomposed quartz
and some of it will go IS or $S per pound.
From the hard rock alongside this streak a
specimen was broken off and it assayed $672
per ton The specimen hunter became so nu-
merous that Mr.. McClelland put man guard
until he went to Tonopah and got sacks, tools,
etc, to handle the output in an economical
manner He will resume work in day or two
and further developments will be watched with
