In the early days of Goldfield an old
prospector drifted in from Colorado and
located five end d-lining mining claims on
prominent dyke from to II feet wide
and traversing the entire distance OF
$500 feet. The old miner believed then
and still believes these five claims will
make greater property than the Com
bination or the January. 1t is asserted
that over 80 assays taken across the
entire dyke showed values on the sur
face running from $3.50 to $67.l7 per
ton in gold. The Sunshine Goldtield
Mining company owns these claims out
right and also owns lease on block OF
the famous Sandstone mine. The COM
pany is now working three shifts OF men,
has sunk it's shaft some 80 feet on the
Sandstorm and yesterday broke into the
ledge where the values are ruraing from
$50 to $50 per t0i.

rect away from the ounshine's lease on
block No. 7, they have sunk a shaft only
40 feet in depth and have already taken
out and shipped over 100000 OF high
grade ore. 1t is among the probabilities
that the lease on the Sandstorm owned
by the Sunshine Goldfeld Mining COM
pany will realize to the stockholders of
this fortunate company big fortune
within the next nine months.
The mining engineer in charge of the
property and leases of the Sunshine
Goldfeld Mining company is Fred IL.
Vahrenkamp, c. E., E. NJ. Mr.. YAH
renkamp was formerly mining and con-
sulting engineer for Captain De La Mar
at the famous Bonanza King mine. The
DE La Mar mines of Nevada, Utah and
California have produced over 800, ,O0O,-
600 during the past decade. Mr.. Vah-
renkamp is now one of the firm of Mitch
ell & Vahrenkamp, mining engineers,
Los Angeles. His partner, Prof. Mitch
ell, was for long time professor in
the School of Mines of Cornell univer-
sity.
Mr.. Vahrenkamps report follows:
'The Sunshine Goldfeld Mining COM
pany owns a valuable group Of mining
claims located about nine miles south
east of Goldfeld. known as the Gold
; Spring group, and named as follows:
Gold Spring No. l, Gold Spring No. 2,
Gold Spring No. 3, Gold Spring No. 4
and Gold Spring No. 3.
"This group of five claims is located
in the southern belt of the Goldfield dis
trict. They adjoin the property of the
Los Angeles Goldfield Mining company
''There are number of reefs cropping
on these claims running parallel to one
another, and they show on the surface
continuously for distance of from l 800
to $500 feet. A number of assays were
taken on various parts of the reefs sur
face groupings which gave results of
from 81 to $67 per ton in gold.
"The company is preparing to COM
mence work on the property immed-
lately, and there is no question in my
mind that valuable mine will be de-
veloped in very short time. The
properties adjoining owned by the Los
Angeles Goldfield Mining company are
being developed quite extensively and
show values ranging from $2.40 to $3.50
per ton.
In addition to owning outright these
five claims, free from all membranes,
the Sunshine Goldtield Mining company
owns an undivided one-half interest in
lease No. on the Sandstorm property.
