Kendall. The men are trenching on the
surface and have opened up promising
ledge. w. d. Hayes of Rochester, N. Y,
brother of Chas. L. Hayes, the attorney,
is interested in the company and is ex-
pected in camp in a few days to look
over the ground. saF.E
The Empire Company.
In the company's shaft on the Silver
Tip claim blind ledge was struck at a
depth Of IS feet. The ledge is feet
wide and the values at present run from
$40 to $40. The Empire company has
granted lease on 3OO-foot block of
ground to Gurney and O'Brien.
Iron Hat Group.
Weber, Ish and associates have bought
the Iron Hat group of five claims which
lie about elk miles west of town. The
surface indications here are excellent,
many paintings showing free gold. Two
assays from the groupings returned values
OF $3.50 and $64 respectively. A force
of men has been put to work and sys-
tematic development will follow.
The Florence.
The work of Strengthening up the shaft
on the Florence is not yet completed
owing to scarcity of timbers. As soon
as it is done three shifts will be put on
and vigorous development be prosecuted.
The ledge on the Florence is nearly 40
feet wide and there is enough mill ore
of good grade in sight to keep mill
busy for years. Besides the mill ore
there is good body of high grade for
the owners to 60 to- work on immedi-
ately. ...@
Coldlleld Exploitation Co.
The Goldfeld Exploitation company
have put in complete assay outfit at
the Grasshopper group which they are
developing. The crosscut has about 20
feet more to be run before the ledge will
be encountered. On the Frances group
which the company is also developing, the
shaft is now down 35 feet and the values
are holding out the same-$l0 to SIS per
ton. The business-like manner in which
this company is going TO work augurs
well for its success.
The Simmerone.
Two tons of ore, going better than
$50 900 per ton, are sacked at the Sim
erone and will 60 out by Wells-F Fargo
express. A sample of Simmerone ore
was resently sent for analysis to a gen.
tleman in Butte, who is one of the best
mineralogists in the world. His tests
showed the gold values to be 1861
ounces per ton. In addition to the gold
values an analysis resulted as follows:

Standard. Coldfleld Mining Co.
The lease of the Standard -Goldfeld
company on the Patrick claim of the
Lone Star company is improving in
looks as development proceeds. There
are two well-defined lodges on the lease
and two of these are being opened up.
On one an incline shaft is down so feet
and is Just coming into solid formation.
A perpendicular shaft is being sunk
which is now down 60 feet and is appar-
emily just tapping the ledge. Prof. H.
s. LIE Compte and Rev. Samuel Blair of
Ogden, Utah, president and managing
director respectively of the Standard
Goldfield company, are now in camp
and will remain for some days.
Fine Showing on Dixie.
The ledge which dipped out of the
shaft on the Dixie mine has been opened
up by crosscut from the 110-foot level,
where it shows from to feet of ore.
Drifting has been started to the north
west to open up the shoot that was ex-
posed at IS foot depth. Latest assays
gave returns of 1922 per ton in gold and
the uldndRcIllcIlt HIIii pCAiCNOo PiCh-
did shoot of shipping ore will be en-
countered with very little drifting. 1t
will require from Is to 20 feet OF work
to reach the ore shoot that is the object
i've point of the present development.
Judging from the constant and regular
increase in values that have been noted
from surface, there is every warrant for
the assumption that when the shoot is
cut in the drift now under way the val
ues will average well up in the hun
dreds
Cettins Richer at Gold Belt.
A letter received from Bullfrog yester-
day states that A. V. Carpenter had got
it richer than ever in his property in the
Gold Belt district on the Panamint
range. No particulars were given.
