on the new find, and the work of
further developing the strike will be
rushed with all possible haste.
THE KALFUs LEASE.
Several assays have been taken from
the new find in the Kalfus lease and
the returns were far above the expec-
tations of the owners. The ledge, as
far as it has been opened up, will carry
an average of 81, 900 to the ton in the
yellow metal. Picked samples, how
ever, will ten times this amount,
and it is believed that when the shoot
is thoroughly opened up the Kalfus
lease win prove the bonanza of the
Goldfield district. In the south cross
cut a strong ledge has been penetrated
for a distance of 20 feet, and as yet
there is no sign of the footwall. The
ore in this place carries a good milling
value. When the ledge has been cut
drifting will be commenced, and it is
thought that only a little work will be
required to open up shipping ore.
Thirty-five miners are employed on this
lease in taking out the ore, which
! amounts to a car a day. This morning
the management started a new shaft
near the Ish-Sheets lease. The shaft
will be sunk to the 140-foot level and
connections will be made with the west
crosscut.
HARDWOOD & NEsBITT.
The Harwood & Nesbitt lease on the
Mohawk No. 2 is in line to be added to
the shipping lists at an early date.
Under Superintendent Gillian the shaft
has now attained a depth of 100 feet
and prosecuting for the 2s-foot ledge
which was cut at a depth of ITO feet
has commenced. The work of cross
cutting will be rushed as rapidly as
possible, and it is believed by the
owners that when the ledge is tapped
good values will be encountered.
DIAMoNDFIELD TRIANGLE
The Review representative learns
from the management of the Diamond
field Triangle that a strike of consider
able Importance has been made in a
raiss In the 100-foot crosscut at adepth
of 100 feet, it being quite unexpected
in that direction at This time. Although
the vein is only is inches III width it
carries values that win average $25 per
ton at present. 1t is very satisfactory
to all concerned and when further
opened Up it is thought will develop a
big pay sheet.
NEW MACHINERY.
Aftef months Of delay, owing to the
inability of the management to get the
machinery on the ground, the new 40
h. b. gasoline hoist was put into com
mission oh the famous Gibraltar prop
erty at Bullfrog last Saturday. This
mine is now equipped with one of the
best plants in the southern part of the
state, and is prepared to do deep min
ing, which will be commenced imme'
diately.
The shaft on the Morn & Phillips
group, which is near the 20O-foot mark
} is to be sunk to the 500-foot level, an'
from this point a thorough and syste
matte course of development will b
, carried out. 1t is proposed to rul
: crosscuts and tap the big ore shoots a
the depth above stated, and the man
t agement is confident that the value
s and the size of the shoots will be ma
terially increased when the objectiv
point isreached. About thirty-fye me
d are regularly employed at the property
and during the past two months an IN
It mense tonnage of good shipping o.
d has been blocked out in the differer
e tunnels of the old workings. An o.
e fetal of the company stated recent
