QUARTZ

Goldield capital and muscle is open
ing up this camp, situated about so
miles south and east of here. For
the past eight months Southey and
Marshall have been at work on a
group of claims that were located by
them. They have put a shaft down
so feet and extended drifts for a con-
siderable distance on a vein four feet
wide which is confined between smooth
walls. They have taken ont at least
SO tons of ore that will run about $50
a ton. A large sample of the ore which
is piled up was brought to town the
FIRST of the week by Roger. Griswola
and assayed. 1t went at the rate OF
s47.60. He says that he was careful
not to fool himself on the sample and
is of the opinion that Quartz mountain
has one mine at least.

What looks to be one of the best strikes that has been
made in all of southwestern Nevada this year was uncovered
ON the Ironclad, owned by Curtis and Ridge, and in the block
of ground that is being worked by Judge +. r. Collins under
lease. At a depth of so feet a high grade ore shoot, measuring
4 feet in width and between well defined walls, was enterd
on Monday. The quartz showed free gold all over it, not only
in the seams but in the fractures, and assays taken on large
samples went better than $4C0 a ton. The ore was broken
from clear across the breast of the drift. Some OF the picked
pieces of the rock would run dollars a pound. A drift is now
being extended on the shoot and ore is being saved for ship
ment.
Gold Crater has been known as a camp for the past Is
months, and several small shipments in the nature OF mill
runs have been made from the various shafts on the Curtis
and Ridge group Of properties. Seams of very high grade
ore were encountered in sinking on the wide ledge on the
Ironclad, but they were too narrow to work at a profit. The
ex-postmaster of Goldfeld was not discouraged, however, and
for the past six months has had a small force of miners at work
on his lease. At a depth of so feet he crosscut and drove IL
feet through quartz which PANIED and assayed about pay
before finding the footwal. When this point was reached high
grade ore was found and a drift was started. The entire
breast is now in a highly mineraized rock which is called
"sugar,' - or California quartz, by miners. Almost every piece
Of the ore shows bright specks of free gold and it appears to
be free milling.
The news of the discovery became known to Mr.. Collins
late Monday evening last, and at midnight he had ii. w. Ham,
mond on the road for the purpose of making an examination
of the bonanza discovery. A large number of samples were
brought back to town and all of the ore. showed the yellow
metal. No assays were made on 1.-THE stuff showed for itself.
The strike will be welcome news to hundreds of Goldfeld
people who are interested in locations in the camp. The dis
covery started the usual stampede and at least 100 prospectors
and investors have left Goldfeld this week for Gold Crater.
which is about % miles southeast of town. 1t is one of the
tributary camps of the metropolis of southwestern Nevada.

SILVER PEAK.

From a reliable source it is learned
that the Drinkwater, or what in these
days is called the Blair mine, has been
sold to the leading stockholders of the
Montana Mining company Of Nevada,
who own the famous Mizpah mine of
Tonopah. The consideration is placed
at $750,000 spot cash. A thorough OK
animation of the old mine was made
before the deal was closed. It is un-
derstood that the executor of the Blair
estate stood out for a round million,
but when the spot cash offer was sub
mitted the price stated was accepted.
deal to Silver Peak, as it will give
deal to Silver Peak, as it will bive
employment to several hundred miners.
The old mill will be replaced by a mo-
dern one capable of treating by ANAL
gamation, concentration and cyaniding
500 tons daily.
The Drinkwater was discovered 40
years ago, and has been worked by
OWutIS anu icSSttS SpdSulouiCdlly osol
since, and it is estimated that it has
produced in the neighbOrhood of
Sc, O00, 900 in bullion, nearly all the
values being in gold. An immense ore
shoot, has been proven up for a dis
lance Of over 1000 feet in a tunnel
which cuts the top of the mountain
at a depth of 700 feet. In places the
ore body is 40 feet wide and all of
it can be mined at a profit if treated
on the ground. Several years ago
John Hays Hammond made an exami-
nation of the mine for the owners ana
his bill for 100000 was paid for the
work. He pronounced it one of the big
low grade gold mines of the country.
Frank p. Richardson and associates
of Goldfeld have struck it rich or a
group of 10 claims situated about two
miles from the Drinkwater. Right on
the surface a. 4-foot vein of ore was
uncovered in trenching a few days
ago, and picked samples of the ore
would assay into the thousands.

TUI.E CANYON DISTRICT.

No tales of woe are coming into Gold
field from this old placer mining dis
trict, that now lays claim to be one of
the coming lode camps of the desert.
The latest big find has been made on
one of the claims owned by the Big
Bird Mining company, where, at a
depth of 20 feet, 4 feet of ore is being
drifted on; chunks of ore weighing
80 pounds were brought into town yes
terday by F. II. Lathrap, one of the
principal stockholders of the company.
He had two assays made on the quartz
that went $169.40 and $239.SO, respect
lively. All of the values were in gold
with the exception of a few ounces in
silver. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to erect a mill at the mine.
A number of companies operating in
the canyon are figuring on putting in
dredges to work the placer ground, and
others are getting figures on the cost of
the erection of stamp and cyanide
mills for the treatment of quartz lodges.

SPRINGS.

Captain George w. Thatcher arrived
in town the first of the week from
Crystal Springs, looking hale and
hearty. He earned his title Of Cap
tain in the Confederate service, serv-
ing under General Selby, and engaged
in many a scrimmage with the Yankees
in Arizona 40 years ago, so that this
desert country is not strange to him.
After those dark days he turned his
attention to the raising of cattle, and
in the 70's owned a big ranch near
Winnemucca in this state. Later on
he engaged in mining in Colorado and
was one of the big operators of Aspen
in it's boom days, when the Mollie Glib
son, Smuggler and Durant were the
talk Of the country. He was an owner
in each of these, but scored his big
success in the Silver King, which he
sold to the Mollie Gibson company for
$150,000 cash, and was guaranteed a
perpetual royalty of Is per cent on
all ores mined on it. He mined all
over the Rocky Mountain country and
has made many fortunes. Last winter
he came TO GoldfeId and in March
went south into the Bullfrog country,
where he has succeeded in getting hold
of several good prospects as well as
IA TOWNSHIP. To a News reporter he
said: "You Goldield people never

fake and it is estimated that 10000
gallons of water could be daily taken
from them. Among good properties
in the immediate neighborhood of the
town the Mayflower is the best, and
it is owned by Goldfeld people. A
shipping mine has been opened up on
the estate. Among the other proper

A SATISFIED PROsPECTOR.
Max Junghaendel Returns From Elk
tended Prospecting Trip.

Max vJ~unghaendel, who a year ago
operated several leases in Goldfield, and
after making a stake went on an exten
sive prospecting trip through the Pana
mint, Coso and Argus ranges, the White
| Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas, re
turned last week to Goldfeld. He ex
pressed himself as highly satisfied with
the result of his trip.
In the new Manhattan district, which
he visited within the last week, he
found excellent surface showings but
not sufficient work done to form a con
elusive. opinion about the merits and
possibilities of the new camp.
Mr.. J~unghaendel left Tuesday for
Silver Peak on a visit to M. B. Kerr,
the eminent mining engineer, with
whom he made, the trip through the
high, Sierras and the White Mountains,
and who is exporting the property of
the Blair estate, comprising some TWEEN
Ity patented claims, including the ia
nous Drinkwater mine which has yield
ed about $~10,000,000, but during the
last decade has been engaged in bitter
litigation between the Blair heirs and
a former lessee and bondholders. MI.
Kerr is examining the property in the
interests of Philadelphia capitalists,
headed by Mr.. o. A. Turner, of Mizpah
fame, and it is safe to say that in case
Mr.. Kerr's report should be favorable
this great property will experience a
revival of it's former productiveness
and will take its place again among the
foremost mines in the country. MI.
Kerr expects to finish his examination
about September 4 and then to return
to San Francisco via Goldfeld.

JUMPERS BECOME ACTIVE.

The jumpers have arrived in camp;
not the members of hat peculiar sect
whose religion combines gyrations of a
jumping jack, the antics of an ape and
the foolish babblings of an .imbecile,
and whose caperings include the on
locker to belief in the Darwinian the
DRY, but those other pests who seek to
pbssoss themselves of other peoples
land without the right of law. Several
of this species pre-empted a number Of
lots in the vicinity Of the railway depot
this week and it required an argument
more forcible than moral suasion to
drive them forth. Incidentally a pos
Sc was employed for the purpose at a
daily rate of 81 per man, and was gath
cred together with some difficulty at
that. The first party was secured Mon
day, but when roll was called that
evening not a eorporal's guard was on
khand to answer to their names. Tues
day reorganization was perfected, but
by nightfa1 the desertlons had become
so numerous that the march of the
army of dispossession was once more
deferred. Later, however, a demon.
s~tration of force caused the enemy to
abandon their stronghold. An attempt
was also made to jump the lot on which
the new school building is to be erected,
but in this instance the party decamped
of his own accord.
