GoLDrIELD CENTENNIAL

What appears to be one of the best
of the summer flotations is the Goldfield
Centennial Mining company. This COM
pany is fathered and it's affairs directed
by strong combination of bankers
among them T. B. Hickey of the State
Bank who is president of the company,
e. b. Cushman vice president, ]. L.
Lindsay secretary and treasurer and
these with w. ]. Douglas and A. A. Red
mond form the directorate. The prop
erty is one of the best in the Ida dis
trict and under former ownership
considerable work was done. A shaft
is down IS feet and a tunnel is in over
$50 feet. The Centennial company has
started a large double compartment
shaft which is now down about 80 feet.
A mill run was made at the Western Re-
duction plant on 700 pounds of ore
from the ground and the returns showed
$275 in gold, silver and copper The
silver was strongly in evidence and the
percentage of copper proved to be 11.3.
This of course speaks well for perma-
nency The company plans an energetic
development and from this time on there
will be no cessation of work. On Thurs
day of last week the stock was listed
at 10 cents and the advance was rapid.

JUMBO EXTENSION

When on Tuesday The News repre-
sentative visited the scene of the re-
ported strike on the Jumbo Extension
the Higginson leasers stated that STOP
ing was that day begun. The ore is in
the winze from the 165-foot level, and it
is stated that the values have gone as
high as $4,000. There was an air of
self satisfaction about the leasers which
ally had little to say.
The reporter visited the office of H.
B. Lind later in the week but could learn
comparatively little beyond the bare
fact that the situation is very desirable.
Thomas J. Lockhart, who is deeply
interested in the Jumbo Extension Min
ing company, on Friday night said to
The News: There is really very little
to say, so many strikes have been re-
ported upon the Jumbo Extension that
the public is now very slow to believe
these rumored bonanzas. The Higgin-
son lease has had some fairly good ore
for the past few weeks. The develop
ment, however, has not proceeded far
enough to determine how large the
thing is or to give the needed stopping
ground Some or 10 tons have been
hoisted which would probably average
about $50. Some assays have been had,
but they do not represent the general
average. 1t is too early to say much
about it, but believe that in about an
other month when the Curtis shaft is
also down within the ore zone, there will
be something doing in Jumbo Exten-
sion"

ENCOURAGING SHOWING
in COMBINATION LEASE

On Tuesday morning a change was en-
countered in the long crosscut from the
164-foot level in the Jones, Carson and
Barber lease on the Combination. These
leasers have worked steadily for six
months on their block not 200 feet from
the Mohawk and while the results have
not been very encouraging at times they
have stuck to it in good style. The
shaft is down 172 feet and from the 163-
foot level 800 feet of prosecuting has
been done. In this working a large s.
foot ledge carrying small values was
cut and now the crosscut having swung
somewhat from it's course has come up
on the ledge again where the formation
has faulted. The rock now coming out
is a fine sulphide quartz and there
seems every reason to believe that 1t
will make ore. The leasers are well

FRANCES MOHAWK

Regular shipments OF from one to two
carloads of so tons each are going for
ward daily from the Frances Mohawk
lease on the Mohawk Average values
of shipments to date are in excess of
$125 to the ton and values are increas-
ing daily. While an average mine sam
pie from all workings shows results of
in excess of 800 to the ton, the richest
ore is coming from the east drift, which
is now within 130 feet of the Combina-
tion Fraction ground, as the lease is
situated on the extreme southeastern
end of the Mohawk, thus greatly ex-
tending the extent of the great Mohawk
ore zone.
Fifty-three men are employed on this
lease and with the machine drills and
with excellent equipment, great produc-
tion is possible and the shipments of
fully 95 tons daily to date will be
doubled within the next week or ten
days.
Another 40-horse power gasoline hoist
is being installed and in future both
compartments will be in commission.
Developments on the Frances Mohawk
Mackenzie No. /, Hayes -Monnette,
Truett and Oddie leases have proven
the ore deposit of the Hayes -Monnette
to be the largest ever opened in the
world. Connections have now been
made with the different leases, thus
man can enter the Frances Mohawk
lease and pass thence to the Truett,
Hayes -Monnette, Mackenzie No and
Oddie leases at a depth of 200 feet from
the surface and in his course pass
through a continuous ore zone from
which ore is being mined of an average
value in excess of 800 to the ton, and
in addition enormous bodies of high
grade milling ore are left standing in
the mine.
All of the above leases are shipping,
the last to enter the shipping list being
the Mackenzie lease No. 1 from which
the first shipment went forward today
showing an average value from grab
samples of in excess q: $3.50 to the ton
This ore was taken from the Oddie
shoot which has been opened in the
Mackenzie No. 1.
1t is safe to say that the production
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-09-01

from the above leases and not including
the other leases on the Mohawk prop
erty, will be in excess of $1,000, 900 from
date TO January 1st, and 1T is possible
that the production will be fully doubled
and will be fully equaled in production
from other leases on this great Mohawk,
which seems to contain a veritable lake
of ore, unequaled in the history of the
mining world and which II is impossible
to realize without personal examina-
ton.
Assays from the Frances-Mohawk
during the past week have been as high
as $2,1S0 to the ton, and for the first
time In this lease free gold has been
found. During the past two days very
important discoveries have been made
on several leases Exclusive of the free
gold found in the Frances Mohawk, free
gold of very great value has been en-
countered in the Hayes-M -Monnette, Mac
kenzie No. l and Truett, and from these
different leases shipments of fully 10
cars per day are ging forward regularly.
Three switches have been placed by the
railroad company to these leases, and
the Mohawk property and it's leases is
the busiest spot ever seen in any min
ing camp, and the large number of gal
lows frames more strongly remind one
of an oil well district than of a mining
camp, and in addition is equipped with
the heaviest machinery ever installed
in any camp within the same radius.

MOHAWK LEASING AND
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

While no stopping has been done in
the Mohawk Leasing and Development
companys workings sufficient ore has
been taken out in the course of develop
ment to make a shipment of 8 cars
which averaged over 800 the ton. In ad-
dition to this 8 or 4 tons of rock has
been sacked from which assays of $4,000
and $4,000 have been had. No idea of
the average can be formed The shaft
is now down 270 feet and a station was
cut at the $50 point A crosscut will
be run from the 275-foot mark and the
shaft will probably be continued to a
depth of SOC feet. The work of stopping
will begin in a few days and without
taxing the ground to the full it is be-
lieved the lease will produce much
as the richest producers on this mar
velous acreage.

DRIscoLL LEASE ON VELVET

The strike which as The News brief
ly related last week was made on the
Con Driscoll lease on the Velvet grows
better with each day. Both the COM
pany and leasers probably having in
mind the brief sensation which the
Velvet ground created some Is months
ago are very reluctant to give out any
information in connection with the
strike. The News, however, learns that
large body of high grade rock averag-
ing in values better than $50 is present
in the drift from the 1O5-foot incline.
1t is believed by the leasers on the
ground around that the ore in places is
of much more sensational value than
is commonly thought. This, however,
is mere supposition.

GOLD BAR AND G.. O. D.
ARE HIVES OF INDUSTRY

Work on the Gold Bar is proceeding
in the same methodical manner which
has characterized the operations of the
company thus far. Three drifts have
been started and are now well under
way from the bottom of the shaft 200
feet deep. Two of these workings are
now in 20 feet each. A crosscut is also
being run for the vein and drifting on
this will proceed in both directions as
soon as it is reached. This will make
5 drifts from the 200-foot level and
with the machine drills which will be
increased in number to five rapid pro-
gress will be made. Some hand work
is also going forward on the 150-foot
level.
Superintendent Harris of the Kansas
City Goldfeld Mining company which
is leasing on the c. o. d. has started
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-09-01

work on a shaft which is now down
about 80 feet. Owing to the delay
which attaches at this time to the de-
livery of timbers he has during this
week been obliged to put his force to
work prospecting the surface. Several
very fine leads have been opened by
trenchiag and some of the rock pans
richly. AS soon as sinking can be re-
sumed the shaft will be sunk down to
the 300-foot mark
The Fargo Goldfield Mining company
also leasing on the C. o. ID. has been
timbering it's shaft this week. The hole
is now so feet deep and in fine condition
Sinking continues.

remaining around $6

GREAT BEND ANNEX

Work on the G. A. Harder lease on
the Great Bend Annex has been COM
menced and although some delay has
been experienced in securing timbers the
preliminary work is now progressing
nicely. The shaft is we'll under way
and the collar in place. The leasers
have agreed to sink 200 feet and will
lose no time in getting this behind them.
The company has ordered 15-hp.
gasoline hoist which should now be on
on the way AS soon as this is installed
an active campaign will begin and the
shaft now 100 feet deep will be con-
tinued to the 35O-foot point.

encountered a large amount of water.
Crosscutting has commenced from the
22O-foot level. A 3-foot ledge of sui
phide quartz was cut in the shaft some
what higher up and it is purposed to
again strike this vein.
The Atlanta Leasing Company has a
force of men working in the old shaft
on the side of the hill. The workings
are being cleared up and timbered pre-
paratory to sinking. The present depth
is 100 feet and the leasing company in
tends adding 200 feet more to it's depth.
A sampling of the old drifts and cross
cuts made the first of the week showed
very encouraging values at half dozen
points.
The other leasers are working stead
ily along and several new contracts for
leases were drawn this week.

PARKER-GOLDFIELD.

Some very encouraging values are be-
ing had from the Condor Mining and
Leasing company's shaft on the Parker
Goldfield ground. The north crosscut
from the 10O-foot level is now in as
feet and the last 2S feet is all in vein
matter. The formation has changed
greatly within the last few feet and
the rock is now as fine sulphide quartz
coated and scanned with tale as any
found in the district. AS yet the op-
posite wall has not been reached. The
company is well equipped with hoist
and all of the requisites of successful
mining. Five men are employed and
another shift is to be added in few
days.

The Commonwealth Mining company,
a close corporation which has for some
months past been developing its 144

ner has at last decided to branch out
and pursue a really active campaign. A
contract for a 10O-foot shaft has just
been let and 15-h.p. gasoline hoist has
been ordered to facilitate the work of
development. The shaft will be sunk
at a point near which the company ex-

Besides taking ore from the drift
from the 200-foot level, the big ledge
has also been tapped from the 150-foot

Work was commenced this week on
a contract for $50 feet of sinking on
the Gardner-Er ST. Ives lease. The
lessees not satisfied with the present
rate of production-2 cars weekly-are
now going after the rock on larger
scale. This new shaft will be rushed
as fast as is possible and hoist has
been ordered which is now on the way.
A great tonnage of ore has been block
