THE DESERT ROSE.

purchased the lease on the Desert Rose
a month ago are now about ready to
begin steady shipments. The first dis
covery on this property was big one
and any kind of an old assay could
be obtained on picked samples of the
ore. few tons of ore were shipped
and some of it went better than $1,000.
) 1t was gouged out and the condition Of
) the shallow workings needed the atten-
tion of the present owners of the lease
} when they took charge. Considerable
prospecting and development work was
done, careful survey made of the
workings in the three shafts and a
plan was outlined to work the bonanz8
} lease in a miner-like fashion. This
has taken time and money but every
thing is in shape now and the May
| Queen company will be receiving royal
lies that are liable to induce the direct
ors to enter the dividend paying list
before another year has rolled around.
AT THE SANDSTONE.
The new ground on the Loftus-Davis
lease is proving better and better with
each days development. They have
crossed the vein and it measures six
teen feet. Stopping has begun and a
shift Of men are now opening a new
level fifteen feet below.
I. What made this ore body remarka-
BILE when first opened was the presence
of gold in the quartz unassociated with
any other mineral whatever. And the
condition continues, the entire mass for
sixteen feet being of uniform value.
just what these values are, the man.
agement is not saying. But this much
is known: Every pound of it is good
enough to go to the sampler, and it il
going there as fast as it comes to thu
surface. Six hundred sacks went dowj
+ yesterday.

/ coming out-350 sacks are now on th1
dump. The hoss to date, mattcr o.
! a few weeks, will probably exceed $50,

THE SASSY SAL
A new working shaft has been start
ed on this property, situated about
miles west of town, but work will be
continued in the did one where at
! depth of 40 feet there is showing IS
, inches of ore that assays as high as
: $500. January Jones, the superintend-
emit and general manager of the proper
ty, believes it is nothing more than
the main ledge which he expects to cut
! lin the new shaft. Work will be vigor-
ously pushed. Since the find was made
on the Sassy SAT undeveloped territory
| in this region has been in strong de-
mand by investors, and the result has
been that acreage prices have gone
soaring.
! There is strong talk of laying off
. new townsite. New strikes are report
.. ed right along in this porphyry belt,
! and owners of claims on it are stout
in their assertions that the ground is
as valuable as any in the very best
! sections of the Goldfield district This
! will have to be proven, however, but
the companies and individual owners

their statements by work. A few days
ago in sinking a well for water q
/ blind ledge was struck at a depth of
over 100 feet and an assay secured
that went as high as $18, close to the
Sassy Sal company's ground.
GOLDFIELD DIAMOND.

velopment work will be pushed with
all possible vigor. From the bottom Of
the vertical shaft No. where the
hoist is to be erected it is only about
ten feet of the ledge. The work of
sinking this ten feet will require but
a few days. The shaft from that point
will follow the ledge to a depth of 100

shipping ore on the dump.
