ADDITIONAL MINING NEWS
RED SECTION.

panor,s from the Red Mountain
copntrv located three miles east or
Diamondfeld, seem to presage that
the section is soon to become one OF
the main portions Oh the Goidheid MIN
ING district. A number of companies
are engaged in extensive development
there and in the case of the Nancy
Donaldson values of merit have been
obtained. This week Cleghorn anu
Turner report a surface strike of hlgn
grade values on their holdings, but
the unfavorable weather conditions OF
Monday and Tuesday have prevented
further prospecting of the vein. The
rock returns a generous string OF
~colors to the pan and appeared to
hold pay values.
The New-Jersey Goldfeld Mines
Incorporation have established a camp on
their property and intend to perform
a vast amount of development work
this winter. A shaft is to be sunk on
a ledge from which recent assays OF
$27.s2 in gold were obtained, with the
purpose of proving up values at depth,
and the chances for the property's
making good are above average. n
Standard Mining company are pre-
pairing to sink a so foot shaft, from
which depth crosscuts will be run out
Ito the vein. Good values are obtained
from the outcrop and it is thought
they will be found in place somewhere
between surface and the so foot
point.
The new Wagon road over the di-
vide between the Black Butte and Red
mountain, and which connects that
camp with Goldfeld, is about COM
pleted. 1t has a general average
grade of about Z per cent and with a
little more work can be put in shape
for hauling ore. Automobiles now ply
the trail without difficulty and
through that medium uninterrupted
communication between here and
There Is duOTucu.

The largest deal ever made in the
Bullfrog district has just been on
summated, the buyer being the Tono-
pah-G oldfeld Trust company of Gold
field. The purchase consists of thu
townsite of Gold Center, including 400
acres Of placer ground, sixteen quartz
claims TO the east of Gold Center and
the most valuable water rights in the
Bullfrog district. Several Of the
quartz claims show some phenomenal
values. The Valley View claim No. 8
has a 4-foot ledge giving an average Of
$37 to the ton, and the California No.
2 and Oriental No. 5 give values run
ming from a few dollars up to $4,000 a
ton.
Gold Center is considered the most
centrally located town in the Bullfrog
district as all roads, canons and gulches
lead down hill to the town and there Is
an abundance of water available for
reduction works and stamp mills. Num-
erous mines are adjacent to the town,
are being opened and there is every
sign of activity and prosperity for this
town.
In addition to the above valuable
properties, the Tonopah-G oldfield Trust
company is the manager and principal
owners of the Decillion Gold Mines
Limited, and the Bullfrog-Royal Min
ing company, both properties having
lodges with some very rich shipping
ore. 1t also is heavily interested in
the wabash-B ullfrog Mines company
and the Bullfrog-Belle Mining com
pany, and owns a number of other val
liable mining claims in different parts
of the district, upon which it has
opened up some valuable ore bodies.
The interests of the Trust company are
n of the heaviest in the district and
it is contemplating the removal of its
Offices to Gold Center in the near fu-
ture. Mr.. W. D. Lawton, vice presi-
dent and manager of the company in
forms us that his corporation has con-
tracted for the erection of a stone bank
building in Gold Center, to be com
pleted early in December, that water
works are being contracted for and
will be piped through the principal
streets of the town at once and that ar
rangements are being made for the
building of a 20-stamp mill and reduc-
tion works. Governor Meiklejohn, If
Nebraska, and Colonel w. B. Hayes, Il
Chicago, are interested with Nj. Law
ton in the project and are expected in
Goldfeld in a few days en- route to Gold
Center for the purpose of perfecting
final details Of these projects. A large
force of men will be put at work at
once on the various enterprises Of the
company and Gold Center will be the
scene of activity. 1t is understood
that the Trust company will expeud
fully $25O,0OO on its properties during
the next twelve months.
The Goldfeld & Bullfrog railroad has
surveyor its line INTO 0oiu Oenter dui,
it is said, will locate it's depot and
shops on the west side Of the town. The
Salt Lake and Los Angeles railroad
has also completed it's survey into
Gold Center from Las Vegas and its
engineering corps of sixteen men is
making Gold Center their headquarters.
1t is intimated that Gold Center will be
the northern terminal of that road.

Development of the Ramona com

%mondfeld is being forwarded by means
of a tunnel which is to De extended
a distance of 100 feet by contract. A
number of lodges traverse the acreage
and paintings made on the outcrop are
favorable to the finding of pay values
with depth. 1t is thought that the
object can be accomplished by that
means and it is the purpose to extend
drifts on each vein penetrated by the
bore.
TABOR LEASE ON COMBINATION.
A crosscut is being run to the east
at a depth of rs feet in the Tabor
shaft on the Combination No. 2, for
the purpose Of catching the ledge
opened at the 60 foot level. MI. Ia
Dor expects to find an ore shoot con-
tanning pay values at the latter depth
as at the go foot point high grade, but
not uniform paintings, were secured.
He believes that values will be more
concentrated at his present point of
operation.

Not much has been said of late re-
garding this company's property, con
sisting of several claims three miles
west of Goldfeld. Some weeks ago q
strike was made the extent of which
was not made public, but which was
sufficient to warrant the company IN
planning for extensive operations.
Last week a gasoline hoist was install
ed and active development work is now
being prosecuted with every indication
of opening up a rich body of ore. They
have a shaft down 125 feet and will
sink deeper before prosecuting.
