Death of Owen o. Jones.

One of the best known residents of
Rio Blanco county, Owen o. Jones,
died on Saturday last.
Mr.. Jones was born in North Wales
and came to this country many years
ago; was, in fact, one Of the earliest
OF tho fsst decreasing band Of pie-
neers. His eldest child (diss Anna
Jones) was the first white baby born
i'm the White River valley.
Fer nine years past Mr.. Jones suf-
fered from an incurable kidney
disease, and bore much pain with
great resignation.
The esteem in which the deceased
was held was shown by the large at
tendance at his funeral Sunday. st.
James church was filled from end to
end. The impressive Episcopal SER
vice was rendered with effectiveness
and solemnity, the rector preaching
an appropriate sermon based on Job
vii:l6, II would not live Away
which was listened to with marked
attention by the large congregation.
Mr.. Owen o. Jones was born at
yarmouth, Merionetbshire, North
Wales. on March IL 1915. At the
time of his death he was, therefore,
50 years, Z months and days old.
He leaves widow and four children
two sons and two daughters.
He was an upright man and citi-
zen; genial and friendly.

Ida DISTRICT.

VIM. Hodgson of the Geldfeld Con.
solidated, has just returned from a
trip to their property in the Ida dis.
trict. On the claim near Cedar springs
the shaft is down 20 feet on the vein.
which shows up the whole width of
the shaft, and an average assay gave
$Io9.3O per ton in gold, silver and
copper. They will continue the shaft
down to the 100-foot point before do.
ing any drifting. The vein is COM
posed of two feet of oxidized iron ON
the hanging wall, carrying good val
ues / n gold. On the foot wall more
than a foot of p~orphyretic quartz ore
runs 3 ounces gold and 10 per cent
copper; in the bottom of the shaft
next to the iron they have 8 feet of
black and gray tale closely filed with
kidneys of boranite and copper su,.
where they are getting their
best values.
IL Is the expectation of the companv
TO have these properties in shane for
a oig production by the time tho

A

Goldfeld this week is celebrating
the completion of the first railway in
to camp. The festivities began yes
terday morning and viii continue
without abatement until a late hour
Saturday night. The entire popula-
ton of this vast gold bearing district
is shouting itself hoarse over the ar
rival of the first train and has taken
unto itself a holiday. That so impor-
tant an event in the history of the
camp should be commemorated by
feasting and merry making is eminent
iy proper, for the construction of the
railroad marks the beginning Of an
era of an increased prosperity; pros
perity in which both the railroad, the
mines and the general public will each
have their share. For the merchant
it means cheaper freight rates; for
the consumer lower prices; for the
traveller better accommodations en-
transit to and from the city; but most
important of all is the fact that with
the advent of the railroad the ore ton
mage from the camp will be materially
increased. AS mining is the basic in
dustry of this district and the one
from which all the others derive their
mstenance, anything which adds to it's
appreciation must of necessity be ben
efciai to all. The railroad more than
any other factor, the mines excepted,
is destined to increase the general
wealth of this community. Already
the effects of its advent are beginning
to be felt and the preparations are be-
ing made at the various mines to in
crease their shipments to mills and
shelters at outside points. Thousands
Of tons of refractory ore which hither-
to could not be handled at profit, ow-
ing to prohibitive freight rates, are
nov available and will soon add their
adota to the output Of the camp. Then
again, the advent of the railway Of
fers advantages for the cheaper hand
ling and treating of the high grade
free milling ores as well. The first
consignment to go out over the rail-
road will be from the Reilly lease on
the Florence, and will consist of TWEEN
ty cars of ore having ar average valu-
alton of $3.50 to the ton, its gross total
valuation reaching the enormous figure
of 100000. This shipment alone can
not fail to enhance the value of the
camp in the estimation of the invest
ing public and is beyond question one
of the best demonstrations of the rich
ness of Goldfield's mines the district
could possibly have. Adequate rail-
road facilities enter largely into the
deliberations of prospective invest
ors in Goldfield mining properties and
often times in the past the lack of
them has biased his judgment to the
detriment of the camp. Now, howev-
err, all is changed and an influx of cap
ital is assured.

BONNIE CLARE SHIPMENT.

President l.. E. Chiatovich and Con
sulting Engineer F. H. Vahrenkam|
are now at the Bonnie Clare mine
some 40 miles south of Goldfeld, get
ting out a shipment of ore. They SEM
word that they have already orderel
several 14-muleteams and the ore will
be broken down, sacked and shipped
to the sampling works here in Gold
field.
The engineer, MI. Vahrenkamp, say
the cost of the shipment of ore d
Goldfield will be about $50 per ton
but they want the world to know thai
they have thousands of tons of shiH
ping ore that will go from $50 to SCI
in gold, from 20 to 35 ounces in silveS
and carry from $14 to SIG lead VALUED
per ton.
Of course with the new proposed
mill erected attic Bonnie Clare mine
this exorbitant freight charge will ba
saved, as the ore can be mined al
milled at about $3.50 to So per ton.

GOLDFIELD TREASURE.

This is one of the mining companies
of the district that looks as though it
was well named. The corporation is
the owner of 226 acres and all of it
is within the limits of the productive
area. The controlling interest in the
shares of the company is held by Phil
adelphia people, and most of the off,
GERS are wealthy; several of them have
made good money in their Nevada
mining investments. There is plenty
of money in the treasury and the
treasury stock has hardly been touch
ed. The management is now making
preparations to do some extensive de.
velopment work and there is more
than an even chance that ore in pay
ing quantities will be found in one of
the groups of claims, if surface indi-
cations are any criterion to go by. At
present two shifts are employed on the
Old Glory, sinking the shaft. The
extension of the Henry Clay lead runs
through the ground, and the dyke, if
it keeps it's pitch, ought to be entered
at a depth of 60 feet. Lessees work
ing on the property last spring were
able to get assays that went as high
as $50.

Cosser and Terrell leasing ON the
Hat owned by the Blue Bull company
have not yet made a shipment from
their lease. At the 50-foot point in
their new lease a drift is being ex-
tended on over a foot of pay mineral.
In the old incline shaft at $50 feet
ore for shipment is also being saved.
The values run about equally between
gold and silver.

GOLDFIELD GOLD DUST.

This company is steadily pushing
work on the Snake lode with very en-
couraging results. The shaft is down
100 feet on the ledge and from this
point drifts have been extended both
ways on a wide body of low grade ore.
The best showing for a high grade
shoot is in the south drift at the So
foot level. Good paintings and assays
were obtained on picked samples of
the ore the entire length of the drift,
but there was not enough of it to pay
to save. The first of the week what
appears to be a pay body of quartz
was entered and samples taken across
two feet of it assayed from $40 to $50.

THE ATLANTA.

The stock of this company has ad.
vanced rapidly in the past ten days
but the owners of the controlling in.
terest as well as Superintendent Lynch
say that they. know no reason for the
advance. Investors may have recog|
nized the fact that the territory owned
by the company is exceptionally we'll
located. A strike may have been made
on the estate by some one of the III
sets of ~lessees who are trenching, sink
ing and prosecuting, but if SO the find
is kept a secret.

THE JANUARY.

This old producer of the camp rs
again in shape for a heavy production.
The management decided several
months back to await the coming OF
the railway, as a saving of about "
a ton could be made in transportation
charges. A steady force of miners
have been kept at work opening up
the mine and now there is a large ton
mage of high and low grade blocked
out. On the 10th of the month Sol
Camp again took charge of the mine
as superintendent. He was in control
when it was one of the big shippers
of the district, but becoming interest
ed in a number of good properties both
in Goldield and in the Bullfrog coun-
try, resigned six rsonths ago. In re-
gard to the January he said today:
81 have hardly had a chance to get
acquainted with the, lower workings
yet, but can say that a drift is now
being extended on a shoot of ore 2
feet wide at the bottom, or 200-foot
level. 1t is below the water level and
is a heavy sulphide, carrying values in
gold, silver and copper in such guam
titles that / am inclined to believe
that it is about the best ore that has
ever been mined on the property"
ALBEMARLE MINING co.
This company owns nearly 200 acres
3 miles due east of town, and only
about the necessary work required by
law has been done on it. Since the
ground was purchased one year ago
by Colorado Springs, Colo, people,
many good strikes have been made in
the immediate neighborhood of the
Alpemarle estate, and it looks as
though pay ore could be found on the
property with the right kind of work.
+. r. jeffrey who has had a great deal
of experience in different mining
camps throughout the country, arrived
here last week to look after develop
ment for the company. Enough work
will be done on each claim so that a
United States mineral surveyor can
swear that the owners were entitled
to a patent. In doing this, the lodges
which run through the ground will be
fully prospected and though it will
cost a few dollars a foot more to sink
on them than in the wash, but in the
opinion of Mr.. jeffrey it will be money
well spent, as then there is a chance
of opening up an ore shoot.

n sANDsroRM.

When the lease on Block 8 on this
property expired the first Of the month
it was generally believed that all Of
the high grade ore had been worked
out above the 50-foot level, but evil.
IDENTIFY this was a mistake, as the
company is now saeking ore above the
drift that assays at a high rate. On
Block 5 the lessees are breaking good
ore and saeking it. 1t is the intention
of the company to sink a new working
shaft to a depth of at least 300 feet
The Sandstone has produced some
very rich ore, nearly all of it coming
from the upper workings. The owners
think that with depth one of the big
mines of the camp will be unfolded.
FLORENCE IMPROVEMENTS.
In order to ascertain the amount Of
low grade ore available for milling
purposes Messrs. Lockhart and Parker
who are largely interested in the Flor
ence mine, made a thorough inspection
of the property a few days ago. 1t
was discovered that there is an enor.
nous tonnage of ore ranging in value
from $40 to $50 a ton which it will
not pay to ship under the present high
freight rates, and it has been deter
mined to erect a mill at the property
for it's treatment. 1t has also been
decided to install an electric plant in
place of the gasoline hoist now util
lied at the mine, power for its opera
rion to be secured from the Bishop +
Creek plant.

DIAMOND.

This company is working a force of
six miners prospecting on the Head
Center and Blue Bird lodes. In trench
ing assays have been secured that
went all the way from So to $40. A
contract has been closed with the Ne
vada Power company to run an cleo
trio line to the deepest shaft on the
Head Center, which is down SIS feet.
An electric hoist will be installed and
the shaft will then be sunk to a depth
of 100 feet, and from there the ground
win be thoroughly ~prospected in all
directions. The company owns a large
acreage and shipping mines have been
opened on all sides of the estate. That
ore viii be found on the ground is the
opinion of those who are posted on
the conditions of this section of the
camp.
