WATER AT KAWICH
Plentiful Supply Assured at the
Great Camp.

Hon. James G.. Gushing, ex-sheriff of
Nye county and member OF the last gen.
eral assembly, came in last Saturday
from the Kawich country. He brought
the good news that water had been
struck about SO miles from the town,
and that the supply could be developed
to furnish enough for a large camp.
Kawich has been badly handicapped
from lack of water, and now that it has
been developed so close, the district will
move forward rapidly.
George Lewis also returned from
Kawich on Tuesday, and he brings good
news of the district, and especially from
the property of the Kawich Gold Min
ing Co., of Nevada. On the Company's
Last Chance, No claim, ) ieet OF tatc
has been struck at depth OF feet.
This tale is almost Identical IN APP
pearance with that found III the Jumbo,
st. Ives and other rich mines in Gold
field, and Mr.. Lewis feels sure that,
although the tale now only carries mill
ing values, development will open up
rich shoot.
The quartz found at kawich is very
lively looking and, even at the surface,
carried big nuggets OF gold. Now, that
the tale has been struck, operators in the
district feel more certain than ever that
Kawich will prove great camp.
Jim Mcdonald, the well-known min
engineer, is very enthusiastic over the
showing on the Last Chance, No. /
claim, and recently said he would rather
have that claim as a prospect than the
best mine in many camps.
On the Shamrock claim, also owned
by the Kawich Gold Mining Co., of
Nevada, there is tunnel now in 6S
feet wide that averages $22 per ton.
There is shalt also, which is now down
% feet, which shows feet of ore that
averages SIS per ton.
The leases on the Goldreed Mining
Co.'S property are looking well, and one
is reported to have recently opened "
at the 50-foot level feet OF ore that will
90 nearly $500 per ton.

COldfeld Diamond.

Good progress has been made in sink
ing the main working shaft, but owing
to a cave-in, the work was delayed few
days, the shaft is now timbered from
top to the bottom. and should be COM
pleted to the 100 foot level early in May,
when crosscutting and drifting on the
ledge will be commenced. The hanging
wall is phonolyte, which in this and the
Cripple Creek districts is one OF the
best indications of high-grade ore, and
is rarely ever found except in very rich
mines The foot-wall is birds-eye por-
phyry, forming one of the best contacts
known in mining.

Important Find at Gold Crater.

The strike on the Like Like claim at
Gold Crater is reported to be one OF the
surprises of the year. This property
was leased some time ago by Curtis and
Ridge to Perry Pramhall of Goldfield, +,
who has worked steadily on the claim
since lease was granted. In a crosscut
at a depth of 80 feet the vein was en-
countered. A well known mining man
who has just returned from Gold Crater
showed the writer an ASSAY certificate,
of sample taken from the property,
giving u value of SO .06 OF. gold or SOL 20
per ton. He states that he personally
took the sample and that it was in no
sense picked rock but an average OF 3
solid feet OF ore. According to our in
formant, the strike was made the
day before he reached Gold Crater.
The ledge showed a width of feet in
the crosscut but there was no other de-
velopment on the vein. From cross
vein, at almost right angle to the new
discovery, samples were taken from 2
feet of ore which returned assay values
of SAG per ton. Further development is
of course necessary to determine the
value of this discovery but even at pres
ent conditions the Like Like may safely
be classed as having every indication of
being one of the most important discov-
cries in that district

'JunO.Goldfeld.

Rumors OF a rich strike in the Juno
Goldfield tunnel were circulated on the
tsreets early in the week The manage
ment claims nothing sensational, but
seem very pleased over new ledge
which has been opened in the tunnel.
The ore contains peacock iron and car
ries good values. 1t is the intention OF
the management to drift on this ledge.

Mayne-Goldfield Co.

One of the best prospects which the
writer has seen in this camp, ana one
about which but little has been said, is
the Gem claim, on the west slope of
Columbia Mountain, which is owned by
the Mayne Goldfeld Mining Co. The
ledge was prospected on the surface tor
width OF 20 feet, ard it pans free gold
clear across 4 number Of ASSAYS ot
surface rock were made and not Il blank
was gotten, while two went $50 and
$l09 20 respectively. An incline shaft
has been sunk on the hanging wall, and
a crosscut to the west has been started,
which within a few feet should come mn
der where the above high assays were
found. On Monday the whole bottom
OF the shaft averaged $26 per ton. Eves
if a shoot of shipping ore is not opened
mp with development, S26 ore will pay
handsomely to mill, and Mr.. Mayne IS
contemplating the installation Of mill
as soon as he has thoroughly demons
trated the value of his mine. In addi-
tion to the work in the shaft, surface
trenching is being done on contact be-
tween granite and porphyry, where it il
believed that good and permanent val
ues will be found. Mr.. Mayne is g good
and conservative mining man, and his
faith in the Gem seems well founded.

Black Butte.

For the past two days there has been
a persistent rumor that the extension OF
the Quartzite vein has been found in the
Black Butte shaft. Oliver Matthews,
the manager of the Black Butte COM
pany, says such an announcement is
premature; that the shaft is S5 feet deep
and that he will sink to a depth of 100
however, that he hopes to encounter ore
in the crosscut.

The Moonlight Group.

A deal for this property consisting of
the Moonlight, Golden Ada, Melanie,
Gopher Flat and North Star was closed
the evening OF the 2lst and the morning
of the 22nd. A corps OF surveyors and
a crew of miners were placed on the
property and development is progressing
as rapidly as can be performed by men
and money. This property is one Of the
most promising in the Goldfield district,
being surrounded by the most valuable
mines in the Diamondtield section. 1t
adjoins the Goldfeld- Belmont, Vernal,
Daisy and Great Bend, and is less than
1000 feet northwest of the Quartzite
and Black Butte and is believed to be on
the same veins. A shaft on the prop
erty which was sunk on one of the
lodges was repaired and a crosscut start
ed from the bottom to reach the hang
ing wall. The wall was cut yesterday
and showed seam of ore showing val
ues of $lS6 to the ton. Drifting is now
in progress on this seam and it shows
every indication of becoming body OF
shipping ore.

Fine Ore In Gold Bar.

Elnc OEt lE OUlU DdTs
From the report of Mr.. Davis, who
has iust returned from Bullfrog. moth
ing seems more certain than that the
Gold Bar-the original Haseltine group
is certainly great gold mine. The
vertical shaft of 30 feet has cut the
ledge which at that point is II feet thick
and pans gold in larger quantity than
at the surface. Not only has the ledge
proved larger, but is also richer at this
point and lies between most perfectly
defined walls. Along the hanging wall
at this point they are running a drift
southwark and the ore improves in vaiue
with every foot run in this direction
The exact assay values cannot now 10

hands of the assayer, but in the pres
ence of group of newspaper men and
representative mining men last Mon
day paintings were made in this level
showing values as high as 5000 ton. ~
Yellow Tiger Mining Co.
The yellow Tiger Mining company
have put a force of men to work on the

is being done preparatory to deciding on
a location for working shaft. During
the week while some of the men were
cleaning out an old shaft the mana ge,'s
attention was called to some good look
ing rock in the bottom. Further inve--
tigation disclosed ledge of good look
ing quartz, about feet wide, whicn
assayed $l2 in gold. Patent work is he-
ing pushed with all possible speed
Sufficient treasury stock has been sold
to provide substantial working capital
and development will go forward with
out delay. The same company las
granted years lease on the Gold Dug

cured the shaft will be sunk to a depth
of at least $50 feet when the manager
feels confident OF securing better values
than heretofore obtained. Over 900
feet of trenclIing work has been done on
the Union and Golden Wedge claims
The Daisy and Connaught Lass claims

Heart of GOldfeld.

On the Heart of Goldfield mine, Just
east of the Dew Drop property, develop
ment, which has been in progress Tor
the past few months, has opened up a
large body OF milling ore running as
high as $50 to the ton. Three shifts are
employed and shaft is now down 56
feet vertically, and crosscut is being
run to cut the lead on which such good
values were secured, nearer the surface
The results of the development so far
are most encouraging, and this property
promises to make mine and an early
shipper. There is considerable demand
for stock here but none has so far been
available as it is closely held in the east.
