SILVER PEAK ACTIVITY

Marked activity prevails in minino
matters in all portions of the Silve,
Peak section, and as the ground is do.
velopea the indications for its maxim,
a camp of merit are becoming mors
pronounced. An additional air of pros.
perity is manifest at this time as manv
claim holders are engaged in their An.
nual assessment work, and further inn.
petus has been given to operations bv
the purchase of the Valcalde property
by the Mohawk-Alpine company for
$4,000. The entrance of the Mohawk
people into the Silver Peak mining
field is greeted with appreciation byy
every prospector in that section as
they consider it means the expenditure
of large sums of money in development
work. This they hold cannot but be
beneficial to all residents of the local.
ity as we'll as the stockholders of that
corporation. Property holders thus en-.
couraged are already preparing to de-.
veIop their claims on a more extensive
scale and in several cases hoisting
plants are to be installed. :
Among other enterprises that are
being exploited there is the acreage Of
the May Day Mining company. In the
lower levels of the workings a fair
sized body containing high silver,lead
values is being worked and thus far
the pay grade has held well.

SANTA CLAUS o

No more appropriate time than the
yule tide season could be chosen for
devoting attention to the Santa Claus
group of claims, for while it is not
probable that the patron saint of the
acreage will visit the property this
Christmas, another twelve-month may
find the jolly old chap perched on the
apex of an ore shoot in the workings
distributing his golden largess with
generous hand.
The claims are five in number and
are located about l mile south Of Red
mountain. Dan Kirby, an old Alaskan
miner, is in charge of operations, and
under his supervision a shaft is being
sunk to a depth of so feet. 1t has been
lowered Is feet and at that point good
paintings are being secured.
VALUES PoCKETY
fair grade but erratic values are be-
ing obtained from the ledge showing
in the acreage of the Goldfeld Monte
yuma Mining company, located some
four miles southwest of town. A shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet
from which point a crosscut was ex-
tended to the lead. Values close to the
century mark are being secured, but as
previously stated they are pockety
and uncertain. When first encountered
the lead was but little more than 2
inches in width but as it has been fol-
lowed it has widened until now it is
showing fully 2 feet in breadth. It
lies in a porphyry dyke and is con-
fined in walls of jasper quartz.
OvERFIELD GOLDFIELD
Values ranging from $3.50 to $3.50
to the ton are being secured across Is
feet of vein matter which has been
crosscut at a depth of 80 feet in the
Overfeld Goldfeld company's shaft.
The ledge is highly mineralized and
has been demonstrated by means of
crosscuts run in both directions to be
nearly $50 feet in width. 1t is thought
that drifting will disclose higher
values either at the present depth or
at the 100-foot level. A stamp mill is
one of the contemplated Improvements
of the company for early next year.
The acreage is located in the Diamond
held section.
COMBINATION NO. 2
Four feet of vein matter confined in
well defined walls are showing in the
crosscut from the bottom of the no.
foot shaft on the Tabor lease on the
Combination No. 2. The find was
made about 10 days ago and bids fair
to be one of the most important ever
made on that claim. Its appearance
was entirely unlocked for, but as it IS
t~rending toward the main ledge it Is
being drifted on with the expectation
that when the point where the veins
form ju%ncture is reached a shoot of
high grade will be found.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1905-12-15

An interest in the Smith lease on the
Union Jack Of the Atlanta company
has been secured by A. w. Honsinger
of the Hunch lease on the February.
The erosscut from the 75-foot level has
been extended to within 90 feet of the
big butte east of the main workings
and should tap the vein with but little
further drilling. Several lodges con-
tanning very fair mill grade ore have
been pierced as the cut has been ex-
tended but no effort made to prospect
them to any extent, as the balance of
energy is being bent toward intersect-
ing the lead in the butte, when high
grade values are confidently antici-
pated.
LET SINKING CONTRACT
Following Immediately upon the
completion of so feet of sinking in
the shaft of the Nevada Leasing com
pany on its lease on the Florence, an.
other contract has been let for 100
feet more of shaft lowering, which
when completed will afford a depth #
200 feet at which TO continue explora-
ton. No attempt is to be made to
prove up the ground above that point
unless something in the way of high
grade values should be encountered n
the shaft, but when that depth is
reached a crosscut is to be run out with
the anticipation of tapping the ledge
from which Reilly mined his much her.
aided bonanza values.
LOCATES VALUES
Robert M. Shearer, a recent arrival
in the camp from Cincinnati, Ohio, has
opened up an S-foot ledge at surface
on his lease on the Silver Pick claim.
The vein matter is composed of tale,
quartz and ~porphyry, the former pre-
dominating, and carries gold values as
high as 5000 to the ton. Shearer will
develop his holding through the me.
dunn of a shaft he is sinking on the
lead and at a depth of so feet will ex-
tend a drift along its strike for the
purpose of locating an ore shoot. IF
not successful at that depth he will
sink another so feet and once more ex-
plore the lead.
LEASE CHANGES HANDS
Mitchell and Dougherty have re-
linquished their lease on the Gold Coin,
lying between the Colburn and Fisher
and the Harrison and Taylor holdings,
to M. E. Read who is continuing opera
tions in practically the same manner
as did the former. The formation is
changing in the breast of the crosscnt
being run at a depth of 60 feet to tap
the ledge which outcrops, and as it's
direction is toward the apex of the
hill a depth of 80 feet will be had when
the objective point is gained. Excell-
ent milling values are obtained as the
cut is advanced and pay grade should
prevail when the lead is reached.
YELLOW ROSE GROUP
Five sets of miners are engaged IN
development and assessment work on
the Yellow Rose group of claims in the
Dlamondield section, under mineral
conditions that favor the finding IF
pay ore with depth. Operations are
in charge of J. F. Miller, who is thor
oughly convinced of their value. The
several shafts are to be put down to
a depth Oh so feet from which point
crosscuts are to be extended to the
lodges showing at surface. There are
eight claims in the acreage and on all
of them the vein outcrop is pronounced.

week on the Ramona group loeateu
about two miles east of Diamondieid IN
the vicinity of Black Butte mountain
The find was made during the progress
of driving a tunnel, the objective point
being a large dyke which outcrops on
the apex of the hill. Within 30 feet
from the mouth of the bore an S-lncn
strinper was cut containing the values
stated. 1t is thought to be a feeder 70
the dyke and is to be drifted on.
LEWIS LEASE
Indications in the breast of the drift
nj the 14O-foot level of the Lewis
lease on the February lain of the
Goldfeld Mining company presage the
proximity of an ore shoot the
operators anticipate tapping 1t within
IA few feet more of drifting. Severai
small ore bodies have been found dur
ing the course of extending the level
and as a rule pay values have been
obtained from them.
MAYrLOwER IN HIGH GRADE
Word was received here this morn
ing to the effect that a strike OF high
grade had been made on the May
flower company's acreage near Crystal
springs in the Bullfrog district. At a
depth of so feet a 7-foot vein has been
cut showing free gold in both the
quartz and tale. Paintings denote the
presence of gold values of from 5000
to $500 per ton.
CLOVER LEAF
In trenching for a suitable place at
which to sink a shaft on the Denver
claim of the Glover Leaf Mining com
pany's estate located east of this city
IA promising dyke has been cut. The
vein is to be thoroughly prospected Mt
surface following which a shaft will
be lowered and the ground proved up
at depth.
MAYNE-KENDALL
On the Mayne-hendall ground just
north of the Kendall Co. IS workings
they are getting paintings running $500
to 1000 a ton. The vein has not yet
defined itself, but it begins to look like
another mine on the Kendall ground.

WORK Resumed

After three weeks idleness opera
tions nave been resumed at the Smith
lease on the Cornishman, encouragement
to further effort having been afforded
by the granting of a three months ex-
tension of the lease. Drifts are being
run northeast and southwest on the
lead at a depth of 12O feet with favor
able returns. The vein is showing 3
feet wide, contains a good grade Of
mill rock, and as the levels are ex-
tended the former is broadening some
what and values are increasing. At
this point crosscuts are being run out
to the east and west with the object of
tapping a lead thought to be running
parallel with the one now being
GRANTED EXTENSION
Now that a three months extension
of their lease has been granted the
operators of the Colburn block on the
Cornishman of the Florence company's
estate additional activity prevails both
on top and below ground. Another
shift has been put on and every effort
is being made to reach the 200-foot
point before Christmas. The present
depth of the shaft is 185 4eet and at
the first mentioned depth it is the
purpose to crosscut to and drift on the
ledge. In the upper levels assays
have been secured that convince the
lessees of the presence of pay values
farther from surface and they expect
to locate and reap the benefit of them
long before their lease expire on June
/, next.
MOHAWK NO. 2
A quartz vein presenting every indi-
cation of making ore with depth has
been uncovered by M. J.. Riordan at
his lease ON the north end of the Mo-
hawk No. 2 claim, owned by the COM
pany of like name. The ledge was en-
countered during the course of surface
.t%renching and is paralleled on one side
by a porphyry dyke and on the other
by a porphyry and tale c~onglomerate.
Riordan will go down on it for the
purpose of demonstrating it's per-
manency and values.
GOLDFIELD NOBLE
In the south drift on the 5O-foot
level on the Goldfeld Noble company's
acreage, a well defined vein 10 feet
wide has been cut which returns aver
age assays of from $40 to $13 in gold
to the ton. The same vein has been
reached at the 100-foot point in the
main shaft and is to be thoroughly ex-
plored at that depth. Drifting is also
being continued east and west on the
50-foot level with good results.

KEwANA CLAIMS SOLD

Within the past few days the final
payment on the Kewana group was
made and that favoraDIy located acre
age passed from the possession of w.
o. Davis into that of Louis Schloss Of
San Francisco. The price was con-
siderably in excess of $4,000. The
claims included in the transfer are the
|Kewana No. 2, Kewana No. 8 and
Kewana Fraction. They are located
north of the holdings of the Velvet
Gold Mining company and the Jumbo
Extension Mining company, and their
prospective value is fully commensur-
ate with the price paid. Surface lodges
and values are of a character that
would indicate the finding Of high
grade ore with depth, but little In the
way of development has thus far been
done. The new owner, however, plans
to inaugurate a campaign of vigorous
exploration with the opening of the
new year.
MI. Schloss has not confined his at
~tention to Kewana territory exclu-
sively, but has also purchased a ex-
~tensive interest in the Kendall Exten-
sion company, owners of a group of
claims lying north and west of the
Goldfeld Kendall ~company's proper
ties. The acreage consists of the Re-
gina, Butcher and Myrtle claims. They
are to be worked in a manner which
should be conducive of good results.
The mineral characteristics at surface
are decidedly promising and further
encouragement is gained from the fact
that the acreage adjoins the Kendall,
the property from which Wingfeld
and Nixon are making high grade ship
ments.
OPERATIONS RESUMED
Development of the acreage east of
Diamondfeld owned by the Goldfeld
Princeton Gold Mining company was
resumed this week and is to be con-
tinued for a long and indefinite period.
The main working shaft on the prop
erty has been lowered to the 5O-foot
point and the miners are now engaged
in sinking it to a depth Of 100 feet.
Crosscuts are then to be run out to the
vein and a drift extended along it's
strike for the purpose of proving up.
The shaft is to then be sunk to an
other level and the same plan of ex-
ploration carried out. A number of
stringers have been cut in the shaft
above the 50-foot level and in each in
stance gOlu returns as 1nd1cated by
paintings and assays have been of an
encouraging nature. The operators
think that with depth shipping grade
will be found in place.
BEE FRACTION
Although but a small part of a claim
the Bee Fraction seems freighted with
full sized values which will be fully re-
vealed with but little further develop
ment. At a depth of rs feet the
lessees have opened up a 6-foot lead
containing fair average and occasional
high grade values, the general char
of the vein matter indicat-
ing that a continuation of the Jumbo
ledge has been tapped. At the 100
foot level the ledge is to be drifted on
and proved up. The fraction is hemmed
in by the Cornishman and freight
claims of the Florence company on
three sides and by the Atlanta claim Of
the Atlanta company on the fourth.
1t is admirably located for the holding
of high grade gold values and it would
not be a matter of surprise if the prop
came in.

M LEASE

Average values of $50 in gold to the
ton are being secured at a depth of 20
feet in the shaft Meyers and Mcintosh
are sinking on their lease on Mohawk
ground. The showing is one of the
best for the depth yet opened ON that
estate and presents every indication
of developing into an ore shoot of pay
grade somewhere between the so and
100-foot levels. The ledge is con-
stantly widening as the shaft is low
cred and values at times show an in
clination to increase slightly. At the
5O-foot point the boys will run out a
drift and prove up.
