The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-09-29

When the Miner promised It's Heauete
last week that II had something of inn
portance to tell them this issue IL
meant to fulfIl its promise. knowing
that we could do so on account OF the
evidence in our possession. but which
we could not at hat time publish on ac-
count of the Importance II meant TO the
camp. and also for the reason that the
operators OF the ground on whose prop
erty the find had been made were de-
sirous of satisfying themselves beyond
any doubt that they had something be-
yond a mere prospect showing.
Now the decks are cleared for action;
men are building a road to transport
the ore and supplies; the hoist is to be
moved to the scene OF the new find, and
the wingfeld property comes to the
front with a body of ore which promises
to hold its values as the work goes
along. For some time Manager Joe
Morris has been quietly perfecting his
plans for the operation of this ground,
and a trip to the workings this week
disclosed some really gratifying sights
The scene of the rich strike is block
7. on Boulder 3 claim, of the Fairview
Eagle Mining company, which George
wingield is the head of. A SKIS incline
shaft has been put down to a depth of
SIS feet, and every loot of the way values
have been in evidence and on the in
crease as depth was attained. At the
so-foot level s feet of carbonate ore was
encountered. assays from which yielded
3 ounces in gold and TAT ounces in sill
yer. This was encouraging to Manager
Morris. and at the 40-foot level he took
a sample clean across the end of the
shafth which the assayer gave him re-
turns of nearly an ounce in gold and
275 ounces in silver therefrom.
The highest assay had from the work.
ings went 1891. This is good news. in
deed. for the camp, but the best part Of
the find is based on the fact that from
35 assays taken by Mr.. Norris 20 OF
them gave returns that are of a ship
ping grade.
over on block 10 of the company's
property an assay of 1924 gold and
100. So silver has been recently obtained,
and it may be that some work will be
lone on the ground as soon as the ar
ranged plans for the operation of block
Z are well under way.
NEVADA HILLS Is
PEER OF THEM ALL
The magnitude to which the property
of the Nevada Hills Mining company
has grown, and this together with the
fact that new and better finds are be-
ing made on the ground, is an astonish-
ing feature in the history of Nevada
mining matters. The character of the
ore deposits on his property have puz-
zled many an expert who has examined
the same. for 1t is said of them that
very little of a like character has been
found in the state. 1t is only by the
skillful work which the property has
been subjected to by Mr.. W. H.. Web
Der, whose pick has brought to light
the values that have been attained from
the property, tina this ore is now going
out to the smelters in regular ship
ments. We, of Fairview. have come to
look upon the shipments from the Ne
vada Hills as a matter of form. and
from what we know of the property, by
reason of our close connection with the
same, and its workings, we perhaps re-
alize the magnitude of the same to a
greater extent than do those who read
the newspaper accounts of the opera
tions on the ~company's ground.
All of the main workings of the prop
erty are producing at a uniform rate,
and as each car reaches the smelter we
hear of the values increasing as the
returns come in. Tunnel 2 is the same
as ever, and the work of sorting and
sacking continues without any hitch.
Tunnel 8, is doing fine and adding to the
~company's treasury as the work goes
on. Tunnel 4, that really marvellous
piece of ground, on which such good
values nave been found. continues to
hold up to her former record, and the
ore is being sacked there as it is broken
down, sorting being eliminated.
The management is starting a new
tunnel, which will be known as tunnel
5. and which is being driven a little
east of the main adit tunnel. This tun-
mel it is expected will tap the ledge that
has produced such astonishing values
in tunnel 4, and work on the same is to
be pushed vigorously.
over on the north side of the big out
groupings, and on the ground of the
Lena Fairview company, the Nevada
Hills company have petitioned the form
er ompany to allow them to drive a
tunnel, the portal of which will be on
their ground, and which will tap the
ore shoot at a greater depth than tun-
mel /, which is daily drawing nearer to
that vast body of ore, which all pre-
face and indications lead us to believe
is concealed down in the depths of those
truly great hills. Where is there a
property in the country that at such a
tender age can show such a magnificent
record as a producer as does the pre-
mier mine of this camp?
WORK HAS STARTED
When l.. M. Sullivan, OF his visit to
camp last week, determined to start up
work on the ground of the Eagles Nest
Fairview company a decision of much
interest and some Importance was
