The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-06-16

Within the last few days conditions
nm the Grant and Cottle lease on the
Old Kaintuck ground have taken a very
favorable turn. From the 200-foot level
crosscuts have been run east and west.
In the west working scarcely 10 feet had
been attained when a vein which as
sumes astonishing proportions was en-
eountered Almost simultaneously the
east crosscut opened up another large
ledge which greatly resembles the first.
The lodges are steadily approaching
each other to the north and there is
every indication that at point perhaps
100 feet from the shaft junction will
be formed with some truly enormous
ore bodies as a result. 1t is not the ex-
pectation of the lessees that any sensa-
tonal values will develop but the
amount of ore actually in sight is aston
shing The shaft is almost entirely in
sulphides which assay better than IS.
Along these new lodges a small stteak
Of reddish tale carrying considerable
quartz looks very rich but no assays
have been made as yet. There are places
where a considerable amount of the sui
phides averages over $12. The lessees
are very enthusiastic for the future.

TALMApGE

Sometime since, as The News report
ed, very good strike was made in the
Doherty lease on the Talmadge Mining
company's ground which lies on the east
slope of Vindicator mountain. sui
phide ledge was caught at the S0-foot
mark which proved to be feet wide
and assayed as high as $216. Average
assays ran about $65. At that time Mr..
Doherty, the lessee, was extremely de-
slrous Of reaching an oxide ledge which
runs across the hill. Accordingly the
strike was not then followed. Descend
ing to the 100-foot mark a crosscut was
projected toward the course of the ledge.
Ihlrty feet of work has not found this
OOdy and at present second crosscut is

GOLD BAR.

Manager Davis of the Bullfrog Gold
Bar has just returned after completing
a detailed examination of the mine. The
purpose of this examination was to col
lect data for his annual report to the
stockholders and to enable the directory
to outline a policy for future work and
equipment. Every point in the mine to
a depth of ESQ feet was thoroughly and
systematically sampled, the entire mine
force under his direction being en-
ployed on the work. Local assayers are
now busy on the samples, but cannot
possibly complete their work before to-
morrow: but as far as reported, the
mine exceeds expectations in the mat
ter of value and settles the question
beyond the shadow of a doubt, that
Gold Bar is all and more than 1T has
ever been represented to be. The ex-
tent of the ore in this ground may be
judged when it is stated that on the
different levels ore bodies were sampled
3S to 40 feet thick and this to depth
of $50 feet.

GOLD BAR AND C. o. D.

General Manager Koontz of the Gold
Bar Mining company, which owns the
Gold Bar and C. o. D. properties, reports
that the shaft is down 10 feet fully
timbered. At the 150-foot level where
a station is being cut a blind ledge was
encountered which yields average as
says of $2S. A 30-hp. compressor with
air drills is now on the way to the
ground as is also 30-h.p. electric hoist.
Both machines are due to arrive on Mon
day. The gallows frame has been de-
layed because of the failure of the heavy
timbers to arrive. Twelve men are be-
ing worked at present and Mr.. Koontz
states that within 80 days the company
will be shipping ore. 1t is intended to
operate both the Gold Bar and c. q. ID.
properties through the Gold Bar shaft
Mr.. Koontz also states that the COM
pany has ordered skip of the new

been so satisfactorily tested on the

prove it's value. Mr.. Hazelgrove. so
long and successfully connected with
Sandstorm No. as superintendent, will

NEW COMPANY BUYS FRANCES
CLAIMS AND MOHAWK LEASE

During the last week another strong
organization has been perfected to ope:
ate extensively on two of the most
promising properties in the camp. fhe
personnel of the company is one Of the
strongest ever enlisted to operate in
Southern Nevada.
Mr.. Thos r Rickay, president OF the
State Bank & Trust Co., is president;
Mr.. H. T. Bragdon, one of Southern Ne
vadas leading and most successful mine
operators, largely interested in the Gold
field Mining Co., is vice president; j. l..
Lindsay, cashier of the State Bank &,
Trust Co. holds the position as treasurer
with his bank as registrar, transfer
agent and depository; G. III. Hayes, of
the world famous Hayes -Monnette lease,
is secretary; the above, with A. d..
Myers, discoverer of Goldfield and gen.
eral manager of the Mohawk Mining
company, constitute the board of direc-
tors.
The company has acquired the Mac
kenzie lease No. 2 on the Mohawk which
is really a suitcase from Hayes-Mon-
nette, undoubtedly covering an exten-
sion of their great ore body and COM
prising that portion of their ground
from $50 feet of their shaft to the south
east end line of the Mohawk ground, a
block 2OOx373 feet. Active development
is now in progress on the property,
two compartment shaft is down 1SO
feet and sinking is in progress at the
rate of at least five feet per day. A 25-
h.p. electric hoist has been ordered and
was shipped by the ]. George Leyner
Engineering Works Co., from Denver on
the 9th inst. A 15-h.p. gasoline hoist
arrived on the ground Thursday and is
now being installed pending the ar
rival of the larger electric hoist, after
which time it will be used in case of

AT MOHAWK
Five Assays From Lower Level
Give $500 to TOn---Average
From this Level to
Date, $285

The Mohawk estate is buster than
ever this week and indications are that
ore will be coming from three or four
leases within the next ten days. The
Hayes Monnette lease is keeping up its
output, the quantity and quality of the
ore being about the same as during the
previous week. The quantity shipped
is about 120 tons daily, of an average
of $S5 per ton.
Returns were received yesterday from
five assays. These assays averaged
over $500; the highest ran $4,000. These
assays were mine samples for ship
ment. The ore comes from the lower
level. The ore is running higher daily.
sixty tons are being shipped daily from
this level. with an average value to
date OF 1886 to the ton.
new 25-horse power electric hoist
arrived yesterday and will be in opera
tion Monday. The hoist now in use on
shaft No. 1 will be moved to shaft
No. and replaced by the new electric
hoist. When these hoists are properly
installed the output will be doubled.
There are 1000 tons in the mine now
broken down and awaiting shipment.
The new shaft is down 100 feet. At
the 15O-foot point connection will be
made with the old shaft.
Mr. Monnette says that the Mackeu-
zie No. lease has a "cinch" on the
Hayes and Monnette ore body and ore
shoot, as the shoot dips into No. 2,
and that he cannot see why this lease
should not encounter the same great
and rich body of ore being mined In the
Hayes and Monnette.
The Mohawk company itself has So
horse power electric hoist on the
ground, and proposes doing extensive
work on it's own account. The company
is receiving bids to sing a shaft by
contract. The shaft will be sunk direct
ly north of the Mackenzie No. and
south of the Lord lease.

emergency until ore is discovered, when
it will be put into commission operating
in one compartment while the larger
hoist will operate in the other, thus CIV
ing a combined capacity of at least 500
tons of ore per day.
In addition, a complete air compressor
and drilling outfit has been ordered and
is now en- route, having been shipped
from Salt Lake twelve days ago. With
this plant in commission, the Frances
Mohawk will have in operation one of
the largest and most complete plants in
Southern Nevada, and when the Hayes
Monnette ore body is encountered, the
production should be something phe-
nomenal and make new high records in
Goldfield.
In addition to the Mackenzie lease No.
2, the company has acquired by pur-
chase. for large sum of money in cash,
the Frances mine in the Madonna Sec
tion of the camp, consisting of the
Frances No 1, Frances No. 2 and James
claims. Development to the amount of
over $4,000 has been performed on this
property by leasers, and some very high
values have been secured and the COM
pany and it's management are thor
oughly satisfied that with a reasonable
amount of development, shipping mine
will be opened; in fact, competent en-
gineer with a world wide reputation who
recently examined the property. pro-
nounced it one of the best he ever ex-
amined in the Goldfield district and one
that would make a mine. He stated that
from his sample of the surface of the
property, assays were secured running
from $S5 to over $4,000 to the ton. AL
though all of his samples were from
float, he expressed great confidence that
he could, in very short time, open the
ore chutes from which the rich float
came.

FLORENCE SAMPLER COMPLETED

The sampler on the Florence mine is
now completed and has been running
during the past 10 days. Every point of
the equipment displays completeness
and the evidence of good and generous
management. A bin has been constructed
which holds just one carload of ore al
lowing for the loss of weight in drying
and as soon as 1t becomes filled the ore
is loaded into a car for shipment. The
sampler room is provided with an cleo
trio oven for drying the samples and all
that is nee led to satisfactorily test the
mines output. At present the company
is considering plans for mill which
will be installed as soon as the best type
can be decided upon.

ROUTE OF CLARK Road

Speaking of the Clark road and the
probability of its being pushed on to
Tonopah ]. C. Mccormack said to The
News
II was talking to Mr.. c. o. White
more, first vice president of the Clark
road. few days ago and the gentleman
stated the road will be continued to
Tonopah without delay"
Mr.. Mccormack talked also with Chief
Engineer Mcclure who informed him
that trains would positively be run from
Las Vegas into Beatty by July 18th. At
present the grading and heavy rock
work is going on between Beatty and
Rhyolite. The route from Rhyolite will
be around Bonanza mountain to the
Original Bullfrog and passing near the
Gold Bar. From that point it will fol-
low the mountains to the left of the
desert touching those camps whicn are
so badly in need of railroad facilities.
From Currys wells to Thorpe's mill and
Gold mountain where thousands of tons
of good ore is awaiting the advent of
the steel horse to get to mar
ket Possibly from that point the road
will touch at Tokop. Ida and Cuprite
before continuing on to Goldfield and
Tonopah. Allowing for the slow work
which the hot weather entails the road
will reach Rhyolite by October 1st. Even
now with the long stage journey from
Las Vegas more people are going In and
out of Bullfrog from the south than by
way of Goldheld.
