The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-12-29

There Is no section Of outlying min
ing country in which Goldfeld capital
is interested that presents more favor
able indications Of permanent prosper
ity than the Buens Vista district and
there is every reason to believe that
the coming year is to record q number
OF steady producers there. The Tip
Top. Brownie, Ticker and other prop
critics contain promising and extensive
ore bodies and are preparing 10 ship
the first week in January. New oaer-
atcrs are constantly entering the field
among them being a number Of Los
Angeles capitalists. From the camps Of
Buena Vista and Goldhitt very ensour-
aging reports are coming in and tend
to show that both are increasing in
population ,nd general business pros
perity.
Buena Vista, the oldest of the two,
has been forging to the front for some
months past and is now taking on
metropolitan airs with the installation
of a telephone system and the making
of other improvements. 1t is the main
distributing point for a large mineral
area and is daily becoming a more i'm
portant factor in the development Of
that section.
At Goldhitt there is at present -
population of nearly 100 and it is be-
lieved that by spring it viii be aug
mented to nearly three times that
amount. Buildings are being erected
rapidly and while they are not in any
sense ~pretentious they are indicative
of the towns advancing Importance.
A grocery store, meat market, restau-
rant and a Miners Union hall are in
course of construction and plans are
being made to erect other buildings.
Among the properties having produc-
ing ore in sight the favorable showing
is, perhaps, on the Tip Top and Tip
Top No. , claims. A 12-foot ledge has
been opened up by means of a crosscut
and this has in turn been followed by
the sinking of a shaft on the lead.
Near the foot wall average assays OF
$500 in gold to the ton are being Sc
cured on a fair sized streak, and lying
next to it is 4 feet of so ore, the bal
ance of the vein holding mill values of
about $50 per ton.
At the Inman lease on Ticker ground
a strike Of Importance was recently
made and it is holding well under the
test of development. The find is what
is termed a blind lead and was made
the course of surface prospect
Assays as high IS 5000 in gold to
the ton have been secured and the vein
presents characteristics of permanency.
At another point, near the main ledge,
a ,2-foot vein is showing on which
as high as $40 in gold to the ton
prevail.
The ledge has been tapped in a cross
cut at a depth of so feet in the Lille
shaft and has been entered for a dis
lance of 2 feet with favorable results.
The quartz shows some free gold and
a fair sized string of colors to
the pan.
A depth of 25 feet has been attained
in the shaft on the First Shot property,
owned by w. J. Lowman, and at that
point excellent values are being found.
For a radius of so feet in the vicinity
Of the shaft at surface the paintings
show the presence of mill values and it
is expected that when the vein system
is reached at depth shipping ore will
be found.
James Mclaughlin, who arrived in
Goldfeld yesterday for the holidays,
that just prior to his departure
from Buena Vista a strike was made on
the May claim, adjoining the Tip Top.
At a depth Of s feet a 10-foot vein has
been encountered which pans well its
breadth and contains average
gold values of $50 per ton. 1t is the in
to lower the shaft to a depth Of
50 feet and to then drift on and prove
up the ledge.
