JUMBO EXTENSION

It develops this week that the Jumbo
Extension is in splendid ore in several
different places and the property has
the appearance of making a mine. The
Clement and Reed lease on the Gold Coin
claim near to the Daisy has made a
strike 100 feet east of the west end line
on the 100-foot level, where feet of
oxidized ore was encountered, assays
from which run $1S5. $500, $500, $780,
Picked samples run into the thousands
Clement and Reed have had good ore for
some time, but it seems as if they con-
cealed the fact with view to getting
an extension of their lease, which was
about to expire. This lease was re-
newed last week and publicity to the
strike is now given for the first time.
A rich strike has been made on the
Reed and Comment lease on the Jumbo
Extension Mining company's Gold Coin.
The ledge was encountered at the end
of a 60-foot crosscut from the 150-foot
level and appears to be at that point
about seven feet wide The ore was as
sayed for gold alone and showed values
of 5000 the ton. Beside this so large a
silver button was had that it is said to
be entirely probable that an equal value
of silver will be returned making the
rock worth $4OO. Considerable of the
ore is now in pile upon the ground and
ore boxes are being constructed giving
the impression that no time is to be
lost in developing The lease is well
equipped and there is every likelihood
that is will soon be paying well.

GREAT BEND
NEARING AN
ORE SHOOT
CrOss.Cut Strikes Fine I0-FOOt
Vein and Ore Shoots Are
in Sight..-Other Veins
Ahead

At the Great Bend on the 200-foot
level. they have opened an ore vein in
a distance of 20 feet that measures ten
feet from wall to wall. 1t is the most
perfectly defined ore body ever seen in
the district and will undoubtedly de-
velop into something out of the usual
The ore is a heavy sulphide, but at the
point intersected, it carries only fair
milling values; the ore shoot lies to the
west and it will be necessary to drift
possibly 20 feet before catching it. An
other ore shoot lies to the east and
drifting toward that point has also be-
gun. Meanwhile the crosscut is being
pushed toward the known veins that lie
farther down hill, and will eventually
open or 4 veins to a depth approx
mately of 200 feet.
The ore shipment for the month will
be small as the chief attention has been
paid toward development. The manage
ment is now arranging for a power
hoist that will probably be on the
ground and in operation within 10 or
Is days.

In the scale of richness and magni-
tude among the leases now operating in
the Goldfeld district the Hayes and
Monnette of course leads the process
sion with the Kendrick and Ish lease on
the Combination in second place. IT
seems now that the aGrdiner lease on
the st. Ives is destined to take place
among the big ones. Before this piece
of ground was operated by the present
interests it was in the hands of several
combines. At one time VIM. Cosser,
now of the Hat lease, and his associates
worked it but the results were not great
and accordingly they sold out to an
outfit from Tonopah. These men took
out about 5000 worth of ore when the
lease expired and the ground later came
into the hands of the present lessees.
Under the first lease an inclined shaft
had been sunk upon the ledge and long
crosscut was opened to the south. The
Gardiner interests, however, crosscut to
the north from the 50-foot level and

BLACK BUTTE

The Black Butte these days presents
much the same appearance that very
large and very active ant hill might If
ma gnifed a few thousand fold. Through
the hill about 5000 feet of tunneling
has been done and lodges show up all
through the workings. There are large
bodies of ore in evidence which run in
value from $25 to $50, and a large num-
ber of smaller but infinitely richer veins
Last week in the east drift shoot was
opened up which will assay it is thought
about $500. There is about 20 inches of
this rock from which the paintings are
very rich. About 500 sacks of good ship
ping ore is at present stored in one of
the drifts. Seventeen men are at work
and it is doubtful if conditions there
ever were better.

MACKENZIE LEASES
GREAT BEND ANNEX

Work on the Great Bend Annex is
progressing steadily and satisfactorily
The main shaft is now down 80 feet and
will, when lumber can be had be fully
timbered At present the timbering is
about half way down. 1t is doubtful if
a prettier two compartment shaft can
be seen in the entire district than that
on the Annex. While no strike can be
reported on this ground the company
and Foreman Harris seem well satisfied
with what is but dead work. At the
100-foot mark crosscutting will begin
when there is great confidence that
something good will show.

What promises to be one of the rich
est strikes in the whole state has sud
denly developed about 20 miles north
west of Goldfeld, among the foothills
near Alkali springs.
G. II. Phillips had been prospecting
the locality for something more than
month when on the 18th day of May he
discovered a 7-foot ledge which showed
on the surface for about 40 feet He
saw at once upon examination that the
rock was rich in horn silver and bro
mide. Assaying subsequently proved
that he had made a wonderful strike.
The lowest assay returned showed re-
turns of SIT and an average runs to
$549. Mr.. Phillips and his associates. r.
Tidwell, A. w. McLisle. G. A. Phillips
and r. A. Dunn staked 80 claims among
them and on Tuesday morning r. It'd
well came into Goldfeld with the news
of the strike. He arrived at 10 o'clock
and shortly after the rush began. 1t
was such a rush as is typical of mining
strikes and before night there was at
least 100 people on the ground. They
came in rigs, on horses and in auto
cars.
Among tne lucky ones are II. ihoSh'N'
until lately an assayer and in conse-
quence familiar with cres. Mr.. Phoenix
staked nine claims and fairly brims
over with enthusiasm when speaking
of the new district. A. o. Altinger, the
well known Goldfield assayer also went.
He secured four claims and displays
samples which he claims carry 1000
ounces of silver
On Wednesday morning G. ii. Phillips,
the original discoverer, came into Gold
field and reported a second strike some
distance from the original. On the way
in Mr.. Phillips states he passed twelve
teams and several autos hurrying TO
the scene as well as a number of men

Nevada"
Geo. Won Polenz, another Goldfield
man who returned this week from
Buckskin, speaks with genuine enthus-
iasm of the place. Mr.. Won Polenz says:
IT found the camp largely increased;
about $50 people being there now. Lum-
ber is going in and many frame build
ings are in course of erection. On the
Kennedy property the shaft is down 40
feet and is completely in ore on all four
sides which averages $65. An 1S-inch

says $3.50.
got some splendid paintings. While
took no assays the ledges are well de-
fined and / believe will make one of the
big mines of the camp.
Work on the Original Buckskin is be-
ing carried vigorously forward. The
ledge is being stripped and at one point
where the width is feet and average
assay returns s162. The shaft is down
40 feet and the ore which is being ex-
tracted is sacked. A shipment will be
made in 10 days" Mr.. Won Polenz says
that many people are busy on location
work and that all through the district
the sound of powder is heard. He
states the unique feature of this camp
is that upon visiting the place one re-
ceives very few offers to sell. The own
ers are holding their ground.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-06-02

Buckskin is pushing steadily for
ward and each report from the ground
is rife with increased possibilities for
the future of the camp. J. c. McCor-
mack, who recently visited Buckskin
and sampled a number of properties
shows assay certificates from the Ken
nedy group which run s6O4.So and
$915.90.
Assays from the claims held by Sher-
man Parker and Jack Howells show
values of $212.40 and s2S7.S0. These
claims are close to the Kennedy ground
and the showing Mr.. Mccormack says
is extra good. AL Mason and w. f.
Davis also have a group of claims upon
which good paintings are had and the
general showing excellent. Big strong
veins crop on the surface and the values
are good.
ION the east side of the alkali fiat.
said Mr.. Mccormack, there are some
very fine showings and in many places
there are heavy iron cappings which in
dictate the presence of copper and pos
sibly silver The camp of Buckskin it
self is distant but 20 miles from Wa
buska and the road is one of the best
in the state. The stage traverses the
distance in 2h hours. There is splen-
did water from artesian wells and at
present beautiful stream flows
through Spring gulch about two miles
southwest of camp. The whole country
appears to be mineralized and good
showings are had all the way from
Buckskin to Wellington IS miles south.
Supplies are cheap. Horse feed. vege-

with packed burros. The nearest water
is at Alkali springs, seven miles south
of the strike, so that all parties going
in must take water. Mr.. Phillips states
there is hope of developing water about
two miles from the camp. A townsite
to bear the name of Phillipsburg has
been laid out and has many natural ad-
vantages. The situation is good and 1t
is but five miles distant from the tracks
of the Tonopah and Goldheld railroad
On the original locations 1T is said by
Mr. Phillips seven lodges can be traced
traversing the property parallel one to
the other. The place is entirely unde-
veloped but a porphyry quartZite con-
tact is thought to exist and the whole
district is heavily capped with lime
While it is entirely too early in the
game to attempt to predict what the
future of Phillipsburg will be it certain
ly seems as if they have it.
c. d. Reading who returned on Fri
day from Phillipsburg reports that a
second strike has been made upon the
Goldfield Copperopolis company's claims.
This new strike Mr. Reading states is
entirely different and much richer than
the one which caused the initial rush.
1t is we'll defined ledge of silver ore in
place in the lime and is the main ledge,
the first find being only a break over
from it. The assays have not as yet
been had. Mr.. Kaeding says the coun-
try is now staked for radius of 5
miles.
1t is now said that but few miles
from Phillipsburg an exceptionally rich
placer strike has been made which If
true makes that part of the country look
still better. In the absence of any
definite information we have principally
to deal with rumors which have it that

DAISY THE
MAKING OF
A BIG MINE
News Develops That Property
Has Ore in Many Places and
is Growing Into a Great
Producer

The physical conditions of the prop
erty warrant the assertion that the
Daisy is to become one of the great
mines of the northern end of the dis
trict.
1t has only been within the last few
days that anything definite could be had
as to the real conditions at the mine, as
every channel of news seemed to have
been guarded against a leak; but now
that the object for which secrecy was
maintained has been accomplished, the
news has been allowed to develop.
The Daisy has ore in half dozen
places, and all shipping or good milling
grade. The company workings and
leases are all in ore and when present
plans for the underground workings
have been carried out an enormous ton
mage can be produced. In anticipation
of this condition, President Frank Hor-
ton has gone away to purchase a 10
stamp mill and it is hoped to have it on
the ground and working by the first of
September.
In the company's workings on the old
Ridge lease, on the eastern slope of the
hill, there is 6 feet of ore that runs
from $40 to $55 per ton.
25-horse power hoist has been or
dered for the central workings. There
are so sacks of ore on these workings
the new workings adjoining. Here there
is a 4foot vein. Ore was encountered
two feet under surface, and it went
down all the way to the 3O-foot point.
From this vein 5000 ore has been sacked.
The Detch-Brewer lease is making the
best showing of any of the workings.
This lease has ore in three different
places, on three parallel lodges. On the
60-foot level a crosscut was run from
the main shaft where 6 feet of ore run
ming from $50 to $50 was encountered.
On ledge over the top of the hill, -
feet from the surface, ore running from
$50 to $3.50 is being mined and sacked.
This ledge pans all the way across 6
feet.
In the south crosscut from the 150-
foot level, about 33 feet from the shaft,
3 feet of ore was unexpectedly encoun-
tered, running from SIS to $4S. This is
something new and developed in the
progress of prosecuting to the COM
pany's main vein which is only ten feet
ahead. When this vein, known as the
Gold Coin and Triangle vein is encoun-
tered, great results are expected.
Developments on the Detch-Brewer
lease have been kept quiet up to this
time as the lessees wanted to get an ad-
ditional block of ground under lease,
which they have now succeeded in do
ing This block is 400 by $50 feet in
dimensions. On this GROUND the lessees
will begin to sink double compartment
shaft at once. This shaft will connect
with the companys workings, giving
good air. When this shaft is completed
shipping will begin at once.
The Daisy adjoins the Great Bend
property on the east, and much of the
green tellurium ore found in the Great
Bend has been found in the Daisy and in
several other respects the two proper
ties bear much resemblance, as would
only be natural from their close prox-
unity.

word was received in Goldfield Wednes-

A large answer of surface work has
been done on the property and the ledge
opened at different points from all of
which rich paintings are obtained. The
company will put large force of men
at work Immediately and thoroughly de-
