Lone Star Sale.

Lone Star Sale.
The sale which involved the largest
cash payment yet made in Goldfield
was consummated last Saturday when
Shove, Aldrich & Co. of Colorado Springs
made a payment OF 900 to McLaugh-
lin Brothers, Nelligan and McGhan for
seventeen claims, including the Lone
Star Group. Mr.. Watterson, of the
firm of Leece 4 Watterson of Bishop,
Calf, who was one of the original own
ers, refused to part with his fifth inter-
est and will take stock for that amount
in the new company which the pur-
chaser will organize. The deal was
made through X. W. Griswold, who will
have substantial interest in the new
company. The Lone Star and adjoin-
ing claims were located by pioneers of
Goldfeld, and have very good show
ing. On the Lone Star good ore has
been opened up in several places and
Patrick and Anderson have lease in
which they have Is inches Of ore at a
depth of so feet which will average over
$3.50 per ton. Shove, Aldrich & Co. is
one of the leading brokerage firms of
Colorado Springs and they will doubtless
push work on the claims. Sherwood
Aldrich and r. W. Gtiswold left yester-
day for Colorado Springs to complete
the organization of the new company,
which will lie called the Lone Star Min
ing company of Nevada.
Tonopah Club.
! The rich ore shoot on the Tonopah
! Club has hcc., .-r7E.tn for length OF
200 feet The deepest trench is Lo,.
down feet and the values are getting
better with every foot OF depth. Every
thing is sacked as it is taken out and
the whole will average over $3.50 per ton
without sorting. The ore is now turn
ing into black-looking quartz but, as
said before, the values are better than
ever. 1t has been decided to start a
shaft on the footwall at once. 1t was
easy to decide on sinking on the foot
wall, as the hangingwall has not yet
been found, though the ledge is opened
up for width of 26 feet. Superintend-
ent Heubach, who is also one OF the
owners, has opened up another ledge on
the ground which contains good-looking
rock but no assays have been made as
vet. Henry Weber, the manager, states
that the organization of the Conquerer
Mining company, which owns the Tono-
pah Club and the Bonanza, will be com
pleted within a week.
The Kendall.
The recent shipment Of IA tons from
the lease of Oddie, Gardner and others
on the Kendall is bciUg milled at Stuart :
five-stamp mill, Sodaville. The ore
averages between $1,000 and S6 900 per
ton and the entire shipment will bring
in in the neighborhocd Of $4,000. In
itself this would be phenomenal ship
ment. but when it is remembered that
this ore came from 80 feet of trenches
but 8 to + feet vile and 3 to feet in
depth. it assumes phase of mining that
is seldom equalled. The lessees have
started to sink on the rich shoot and
,ill open it up in systematic manner.
That the ore is absolutely free milling Is
proven bv the fact that very little val
ues are found in the taillngs. Marvin
f. Ish, who is one of the partners, has
taken temporary charge of the lease in
the absence OF Major Gardner, who has
gone to Sodaville to look after the mill
ing of the ore.
Los Angeles Go,diield Mining Co.
The Los Angeles Goldfield Mining
company have four men at work on the
August claim and are running cross
cut from the 80 foot point in the shaft
ON the ST. Francis No. 2. They are
finding very good ore, some specimens
being prodigally sprinkled with free
gold. f. ii. Vahrenkamp, late OF Los
Angeles, is General Manager for the
company. and number of capitalists
from the same city are interested.
Great Bend.
Frank S. Cook, OF Salt Lake City, and
John A. Kirby, superintendent OF the
Daly-West mine, both of whom are
heavily interested in the Great Bend
group at Diamondfield, were out TINS
week and more pleased than ever with
the property. While doing some sur.
face work Sunday, Mr.. Cook uncovered
some yelioy sul,hides and an assay
showed values of S2Ol to til. .o.i.
cermania Goldfield Company.
The Germania Goldfeld Mining COM
panv will start work on the 10th on their
group Of five claims located on the east
slope of Columbia mountain, about l5OO
feet from the Tonopah Club. +. ii.
