able one The owners OF the Florence |
will at once commence work and as soon
as things are shaped up will begin OUT
putting the rich ore for which the mine |
is so we'll known. Frank Oliver, q we'll |
known mining man of Colorado, has ar
rived and will superintend operations on
the property. The owners of the Flor
ence are A. D. Parker of Denver, T. G.
Lockhart, Geo. A. Kernick, Senator
Nixon and Geo. Wingfeld.
On the Nary.
The Lee lease on the Mary claim of
the White Wolf group near town has at
tained depth of 40 feet. The ledge
dipped out of the shaft at a depth Of 30
feet. Sinking will be continued verti-
cally however, to the 5O-foot level, where
a crosscut will be run to open up the
ore body. An average of several inches
of the ledge gave returns of $127 per ton
while a picked sample assayed over
$1,000. The ledge, which is Is inches
wide where it dipped out of the shaft is
composed of very lively looking quartz.
coldheld Exploitation Company.
The Goldfield Exploitation company
is cross-cutting from the 5O-foot point on
the Grasshopper group, which lies about
two and one-half miles southeast of the
Jumbo. The surface showing here was
very encouraging, assays as high as $50
having been gotten from the groupings.
With suah ore at the surface, good
values should be found when the
ledge is crosscut at so feet in depth.
The same company has also started a
shaft on the Frances group which lies
little south of the Tinhorn of the Dixie
company. The surface showing here is
also good, the assays from the groupings
running from $40 to $3.50 per ton. The
shaft is now down Is feet.
Gold Bar Fraction.
The Gold Bar Mining company is vig-
orously developing its territory adjoin-
ing the c. o. D. group on the east. A
shaft has been put down to depth of
80 feet and will be continued until solid
formation is reached, when cross-cut
will be driven to open up the ledge. The
surface showing indicates the decided
probability of the company's opening up
an important body of ore when the ledge
is encountered. L. ]. Koontz, of Allie
gheny, Pa, the treasurer of the COM
pany, visited the property recently and
expressed himself as very we'll pleased
with the prospect there.
haynower Development.
The group of claims in the vicinity of
McLaughlin's wells owned by the May
flower Gold Mining company is being
developed by three shafts, two of which
have attained depth of so feet; the
third is down 80 feet. The first two
have been sunk near quartz lodges that
outcrop boldly at surface. Crosscuts
are to be driven to explore the ledges
systematically. This will require from
Is to 20 feet of lateral work from the
bottom of each shaft. The company is
patenIlng lCS property
Wonder Coldfisld.
Work has been started on company
account on the Wonder Goldfield COM
pany's group OF claims adjoining the
Dixie. The management expects to
catch the extension of the Dixie lead
and development will be prosecuted
with that end in view.
LArER-Just before going to press ore
was opened up and an assay is said to
have gone nearly 10000 to the ton.
The January.
The shaft on the January is being
Strengthened and next week the mine
will be unwatered and sinking in the di-
rection of China will be resumed. Even !
the water in the January is valuable |
and will be run into settling tanks and |
used at the mine.
The Kendall.
The rich streak opened up last week
on the Kendall has been proven for a
width of 5 to 6 feet, but will not be de- |
veloped much until the engine and hoist j
are in running order.
The Brooklyn.
Lessees on the Brooklyn have been
meeting with exceptionally encouraging
indications during the past few days.
Yesterday some good ore was broken
into that will mill profitably, and con-
stantly improving values have been
noted.
