Another Oasis Strike.

\ prospector named Funda has made
a fabulously rich strike not far from
Oasis, few miles from the Price discov-
ery reported week ago. Reports,
though somewhat meager, are to the Ell
feet that Funda has located ledge of
quartz not far from the California line
in the Oasis section that is go feet from
wall to wall which pans abundantly clear
across it's width. There are said to be u
number of pay streaks in the ledge sew

in the neighborhood of 5000 per ton.
Exceptionally rich specimens from the

prominent citizens of Milwaukee who
arrived in camp recently, have bought

GOOD NEWS FROM Ida.
Great Activity With Good Results in
This Section.

The country about Ida and Tule can
Won is receiving considerable attention
of late and the result is that several new
prospects OF great promise have been
found. Among the best is one about
eight miles east of Ida, which is owned
by w. ii. Lang, William J. Douglass,
George Wingfeld, II. c. Herrick, w. III.
Scott, w. ID. Lewis, of st. Louis, and
Charles Sutro, of San Francisco. The
ledge on this property is 3 feet wide and
has been proved for a distance Of 100
feet, the surface for this length all pan
ming free gold, although the ore carries
silver and lead values as we'll Many OF
the specimens brought into town con-
tain particles of gold plainly visible to
the naked eye, and the assays go as high
as $3.50 per ton. Mr.. Lang and his assO-
ciates are confident that they can soon
open up good producer and will begin
active development work at an early day.
Col Edward Prince, of Quincy, ILL.,, is
going down to examine the Florida
mine, which il owned principally by the
Broughton Bros, but in which George
IS. Nixon and W II. Lang are also inter-
ested. While the values in this prop
erty are principally in silver and lead,
they 60 very high and with the concen-
TRAITOR now being erected it should prove
II good paying mine. Amos w. Broughton,
manager of the Florida, and his brother,
Senator II. A. Broughton, Il lawyer whose
home is in Los Angeles county, CalifOr-
mia, were in Goldfield today. They re-
port a force OF 20 men steadily working
on the property 4 steam pump is
keeping the mine clear of water, and a
81 900 steam hoist and steam drills will
soon be installed.
Harry l.. Heck, who recently returned
from Ida, reports that there are sew
eral hundred people now in that vicin-
ity, and there is also considerable activ
ity in townsitc property. a new townsitc
has been laid out in rule Canyon which
is called Roosevelt A mining district
will be organized On Christmas day in

Gently came here from Colorado, has a
group OF five claims which have a fine
surface showing, and some assays from
the ore go very high.

To Inspect Smelter Site.

Messrs Wishon and Stevens left last
last Monday to make another examine
tion of some copper properties, abd Il
site for smel;r, near Sodaville. While
nothing definite has been yet decided
the indications are favorable for the az
tablishmen, OF a large smelter at Soda
Vile in the near future. II it is done,
with these gentlemen and their asso"i-
atts in charge. j: will mean a smelling
rate that will save thousands of dollars
,o the min. owners of Goldfeld, besides
being of great benefit to the country
about Sodavilie Messrs. Wishon and
Stevens viii continue on to San Fran
cisco where they will establish perma-
nent office for the Butte-Goldtield COM
pany at No. 323 Rialto Building. Alter
visiting his folks Mr.. Stevens will return
to look after the company's interests
here, but Mr.. Wishon will devote mos,
of his time 10 the copper properties.

Surveyed to Coal Mines.

n. NJ. McGlynn was in camp this week,
coming from the coal properties in which
he is interested near Coaldale. He re-
ports that the railroad company has
just completed survey for map OF the
coal fields. 1t is said that the quality of
the coal is improving with every foot OF
depth, and with coal as scarce and as
expensive as it is in Nevada, good coal
mine would be bonanza. The Tonopah
railroad company will give a thorough
test on one of their engines for several
weeks and if it proves as satisfactory as
has been claimed, it will doubtless re-
suit in thorough and systematic open
ing np of the mines.

"The Miner" Visits Coldfield.

Messrs. Dunham and Morris, the guild
ing and shining lights of the Tonopah
Miner, were in Goldfield last week. The
gentlemen are not satisfied with the big
profits from their prosperous paper, but
are going into mining and pile up
another fortune. They have taken a
lease on the May Queen claim, but a
short distance from the recent big strike
on the Sandstorm. If they know as
much about mining as they do about
running paper, another strike is near
ly due.

The Florence.

The bonanza No. 8 lease on the Flor
ence is maintaining steady output of
of about IL tons day. There isn't a
sack at the mine but some will soon be
returned from the many shipments sent
out.
In Wine from the 1l0-foot level on
the Woodward-Lothrop-O' Keefe lease on
the Florence good ore is also being taken
out. From the ore taken out one day
recently the lowest assay went $500 per
ton and the highest $3.50.
The Kendall.
The new shaft on the Oddie-Gardner-
Duffield lease on the Kendall is down
100 feet. A steam hoist is being in
stalled and within the next 30 days the
shaft will be sunk another 100 feet.
Stations will be cut at both the 100
foot and the 2O0-foot points and cross
cuts run to tap the ledge from which
such rich ore has been shipped.
Coldfield Diamond Mining Company
The shaft of the Head Center claim is
down over 40 feet. Owing to the change
in the ore for the better, it has been
deemed advisable to crOss-cut the ledge
and ascertain its width and value. The

the January, but contains higher values

The St. Ives.

All leases on the St. Ives expire the
first of the year, SO there are but three
weeks left in which the lessees can take
out ore. This makes any further sink
ing and drifting out of the question.
But there is nothing to prevent upraising
and stopping, and lessee Harrington, OF
the Herrington-Glover lease, who made
the recent big discovery in the St. Ives,
and who withal is an Al mining man,
is raising up on the high-grade ore with
rapidity. Beside the milling ore, Mr..
Harrington has 80 inches of high-grade
shipping ore which is being shot down
from the roof of the upraise as fast as
powder can do it.

An improved showing is reported from
the Bonanza claim of the Conquorer
Mining company's estate. After follow
ing the ledge for some distance, in which
it was almost blanket, the manage

Riggs 4 Drake, leasing on the Patrick
claim of the Lone Star group, are now
down 40 feet in their incline shaft on

inches wide and an average of the whole
shaft shows values of $S7 per ton IN
gold.
Frank Richardson left today with a
force OF men to do the annual assess
ment work on the Double Eagle group
between Gold Mountain and TonOpah.
The Black Butte Extension company
will put men to work in few days on

Mammoth Group Sold.

Messrs. Henry Weber and Marvin lsh
have sold the Mammoth group to }. l..
Bryson of San Francisco. Mr.. Bryson,
it is understood, intends to form com
pany to take over the property and sys-

been done and numerous good paintings
have been secured. Development work
is now in progress. The group consists
of the Amazon and Mammoth, two full
claims situated in the northeastern por-
tion of the district

In the drifts from the 50-foot level of
the Empire group there have recently
been encountered number of rich
stringers Of quartz and the management
believes there is good ore shoot close

dications found there is every reason to
believe such is the case. Very satisfac-
tory progress is being made in extend
ing the drifts.
