GOLD STAR DEVELOPMENT

GOLD STAR DEVELOPMENT
Contact with the ledge has been
gained in the crosscut run out to the
east from the bottom of the 120-fo)t
shaft on the Gold Star claim being
operated under lease by Norton and
Englemeyer with it's owner, William
Smith. as a partner. Arrangements are
now being made to drift along the
trend of the vein and this, it is be-
lieved will result in the location of a
pay shoot. Quite an amount of sui
phides has been encountered during
the progress of extending the drift and
now that the lead has been tapped that
characteristic is even more pronounced.
The ledge was first cut at a point Is
feet in from the shaft at the 95-foot
level where it is showing 8 feet in
width and returns gold values of from
SIS to $50 per ton. These values are
greatly augmented in the lower level
as assays indicate gold returns cf
about $40 to the ton.
DAISY NO. /
About 80 feet of sinking has beer
accomplished in the shaft on the lease
on the Daisy No. l at Di~amondfeld be-
ing operated by Sol Camp and others.
Mr.. Camp is superintendent of the
celebrated January mine of the Gold
field Mining company, was formerly in
charge of the Elkton mine at Cripple
Creek and is one of the best posted
mining men in the country. He believes
that Daisy ground offers much in the
way of mineral promise and is con-
WINGED that with depth shipping ore
will prevail. At surface values as
high as $3.50 per ton were received On
a 3-foot ledge, and as this has been
sunk on the gold grade has increased
materially. At the 50-foot point the
vein is to be drifted on for an ore
shoot.
GARRETT LEASE
A 4-foot ledge containing gold values
as high as $40 per ton is being de-
veloped on the Garrett lease on the
Combination No. 2 claim, of the Com
bination Mines company's acreage.
The vein lies southwest from the bot
tom of the 160-foot shaft n recently
as it was extended another lead, which
came in to the main ledge at a slight
angle was encountered. The latter has
the same general strike and returns
assays as high as $35 per ton. As the
| Two are t4pIOIcu uuOIc pIOAOuuCCu II
dications for their making pay ore are
noticeable and this fact leads the op-
orators to think that a shoot is close
at hand.
TO EXPLORE AT DEPTH
Energy is being directed toward
gaining a depth of 100 feet in the Lon
donderry company's shaft and when
that result is accomplished crosscuts
are to be run and the ground thorough
ly developed. At surface a fine APP
pearing vein is showing which pros
poets fairly well and whose general
| characteristics give evidence of making
pay ore with depth. The acreage is
located about 2 miles southeast of this
city and until recently little in the way
| of exploration had been done on 1T.
Now, however, it is announced that
work is to continue for an indefinite
! period.
,GoLDFIELD-NoBLE
In the south and east drifts in the
50-foot level of the main working shaft
pany's acreage the regular formation
is being cut under conditions that
favor the finding of gold values of ship

formation is of very recent date, but as
the breast of both drifts are in good
looking quartz it appears probable tina.
the vein system will soon be tapped.
The properties are located about two
miles east of D~iamondfeld and present
surface indications of a promising char
acter.
LEWIS LEASE
Several pockets of tale of small pro-
portion, but carrying fair gold values,
have been found during the past few
days on the Lewis lease on the Febru-
airy, one of the holdings of the Goldfeld
Mining company. The deposits were
located during the progress of drifting
along the trend of the ledge exposed
in the lower workings. Mr.. Lewis is
much encouraged at the showing and
believes that conditions indicate the
proximity of an ore shoot.
WEST END LEASE
North of D~iamondfeld and adjoining
the Daisy acreage, Horton and McIn-
tyre are engaged in proving up their
lease on the West End Mining COM
pany's ground. A shaft has been low
cred to a depth of As feet and from it's
bottom a crosscut is being run out 20
the ledge which at surface returned
values as high as 800 per ton. 1t is
believed that when the vein is tapped
at the present depth pay values in place
will be found.
GOLDEN EAGLE
Sinking is progressing at a satisfac-
tory rate in the shaft on the H. w.
Ross. lease on the Golden Eagle claim
of the c.. o. d. estate. A depth of 100
feet is the objective point and when it
is accomplished Mr.. Ross intends to
crosscut and drift on the ledge. Very
fair gold values have been secured on
