Values Improve on Dixie.

A very interesting feature OF the vein
formation on the Dixie Mining COM
pany's property has been revealed by
recent development. The shaft, which
has now attained depth of IS feet, fol-
lowed the ledge, which stood practically
perpendicular, to a depth of IS feet,
where it began pitching at slight an
gle, leaving the shaft in 10 feet of sink
ing. A crosscut was extended from the
85-foot level, exposing splendid body
OF ore, the values of which are a great
deal more uniform than those found
above the fault. Assays across the
ledge at this point gave returns of $65,
$1lO and 1925 per ton. The ledge mat
ter is much more regular below the
point OF dip and with the increased val
ues and their marked uniformity the
management is confident an important
shoot of shipping ore will be found by
prosecuting from the 1OO-foot level.
This will be done without delay and
will be accomplished within two weeks.
A parallel ledge of considerable import
ance has also been recently opened up
and shows good milling values.
The Kendall.
The engine and hoist which was Or
dered by T. L. Oddie for the White
, Rock has been transferred to the Oddie-
-Duffield lease on the Kendall.
With these in operation production from
the bonanza lease will be greatly stimu-
lated. At the bottom of the 70-foot
shaft on the Kendall an average grab
sample across feet showed values of
$53 ton That doesn't sound very big
in camp where we so frequently have
to mention ore going into the thousands,
but the fact remains that with mill to
treat the same, feet of $53 gold ore will
pay handsomely and the announcement
of it would be given big display in the
newspapers OF an ordinary mining
camp.
The Simmerone.
There has been great scurrying around
in Goldfield this week trying to get hold
of Simmerone stock, but it seems almost
impossible to get at any figure. At the
organization the incorporators let lit
tie of the stock 60 to personal friends in
Butte, and as they are all strong finan-
cially there is no disposition to take
quick profits as they might do in view of
the great showing. We have no late
official information from the mine, but
on good authority it it is stated that
there is now a small streak that aver
ages $25, 900 per ton. A shipment will
soon be made and rumOr has it that div
idends will commence shortly after.
The Conqueror.
On the Tonopah Club claim OF the
Conqueror Gold Mining company, the
entire width of the drift is in the gold
bearing shale peculiar to this property.
Surface prospecting on this claim is also
being continued, as well as on the Bo-
nanza claim of the same company.
The most important development along
the latter lines consists of tho uncover
ing of still another ledge on the Bo-
nanza. 1t looks even better than those
formerly uncovered, having distinct
walls and being about 31s feet wide.
Three assays from this ledge gave re-
turns of $34, 50 and $40 per ton re-
spectively.
The Ouartzite Lease.
John McKane has bought a half inter-
est in the lease of Poak, Reilly and krise
on the Quartzite of the Diamondfield
Gold Mining company. The price paid
was not given for publication, but is
considerably larger than $40, 900, as has
been published. Mr.. McKane has trans
ferred an engine and hoist from the
Jumbo, and before many days this bo-
nanza lease will be sending constant
shipments to the smelter.
Coldfield- Treasure.
1t has just been learned that the
Mims-Sutro company have consumated
an arrangement whereby they take over
practically all of the stock of the Gold
field-Treasure Mining company that was
on the market. The properties of this
company are making fine showings and
some startling developments are looked
for shortly.
The Empire.
Surface trenching close to the line
of the Silver Tip and Bell Fraction
OF the Empire Mining company disclosed
an entirely new ledge this week. 1t is
about feet wide and has been opened
up at two places, $50 feet apart. The
values Oh surface 90 from 81 to $40 per
ton.
The St. Ives.
The principal owners of the st. Ives
are expected to return in few days
from their holiday vacations and it is
said that upon their return arrange
ments will at once be made for starting
