velopment on the vein. From a cross
vein, at almost a right angle to the new
discovery, samples were taken from
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.
Ore From Ida.
A wagon load of fine-lOoking copper
ore from the Copper Queen property at
Ida arrived in town last Tuesday and
has been placed on exhibition at the
Office of the Goldfeld Consolidated Min
ing and Power company. This COM
pany is the owner OF the Copper Queen
claim, having completed the purchase
Of the same about one week ago. The
| ledge, which outcrops on the surface,
has been proved for a distance of 300
feet. The ore brought to town came
from surface where the ledge shows a
width OF about feet. Several samples
taken from the ore gave assay returns of
from Is to 40 per cent copper, a little
over $50 gold and about s ounces silver
per ton. The company has q force Of
men at work on the property and it is
announced that 80 ton trial shipment
will be made next week. 1t is the pur
pose of the management to determine
the average value of the ore body, and
with this end in view will send out 80
ton trial shipment to a local sampler.
Goldfield-KawiCh Mining Company.
| w. III. Parkinson, the manager of the
Goldfeld- Mining company, is
IN town, and says he is well pleased with
| iatd Developments. This com pa Y Nv as
40 acres OF ground near the Goldreed
mine at Kawich. A shaft was COM
menced two weeks ago, on ledge with
a strongly mineraliZed Outcrop, and at a
depth of Is feet, Mr.. Parkinson says
there is Az feet of ore that shows an
average value of $3.50 in gold per ton.
The same company also owns the Blue
Mountain group in section 3, about )
miles east of Goldfeld, on which work
will soon be commenced. A number of
well-known Colorado mining men are
interested in this company, among whom
is James f. Burns, of Portland fame,
who is treasurer.
There mas been considerable activity
in the stock of this company OF late,
and there is apparently fine local de-
mand around 10 cents per share.
Goldfield-Clover Leaf.
The Goldfield Clover Leaf Mining
company have recently purchased the
Unlucky Jim claim, which is 600 feet
from the rich strike ON the Dixie, and
have made arrangements to commence
immediate development work under the
supervision OF a competent mining en-
gineer. There is strong, well miner
allied ledge on this property which
shows good values, and has trend
towards the Dixie The rock is of the
same general character as the Dixie and
the ledge is believed to be the same one
that the Dixie is now producing such
remarkable ore from. This company
owns in addition 20 acres OF valuable
mineral ground in the Goldfeld district
on which development work will be dill
gently prosecuted.
Denver Annex Bought.
Senator Geo. s. Nixon, ID. II. Peery
and George Wingfield have purchased
the Denver Annex claim that adjoins
the Denver, at Rhyolite. This property
carries the continuation OF the Denver
ledge. The claim has two strong fissure
veins. The consideration for the pur-
chase was 100000. The property pans
gold from one end to the other. For the
pectors on the entire claim without any
sampled and assayed it thoroughly on
the groupings The good showing was
the reason that led to the purchase.
They believe they have as good prop
erty as the Denver.
Beauxite, which was discovered by
Col. NJ. j. Cooney few days ago, near
Goldfeld, is OF fine quality, and doubt
less contains at least % per cent alumni
mum. This earthly substance is a
feruginous alumina which contains more
of the untarnshable light silvery metal
than any other known substance.
Cryolite, from which aluminium is
mainly produced, contains only 9 to l3
per cent of the metal. Cryolite will
melt in flame OF a candle and the best
quality is found in Iceland and in
Ireland.
Strike ON the Joshua.
The Joshua claim, situated near the
Sandstorm, and owned by the Blue
Quartz Gold Mining company, is re.
ported to be in ore. Denver parties owr
the lease and Mat Jellinck is in charge
of the work For some time the lessee:
have been drifting on the ledge at :
depth of 55 feet, and 1t was in this drif
that the ore was found We are unabl,
to give full particulars of the strike, bu
do know that all the ore hoisted is bein,
sacked for shipment.
