SLATE RANGE VALUES
INCREASE WITH DEPTH

over in the Slate range country a vast
amount of development is being lone
and as depth is gained values are
climbing the scale and the veins are
broadening. No particular section or
the district seems to have preference
but in contradistinction the work is gen.
eral in all portions. The showing in a
number of properties is far above the
average and the prospects for a number
of new shippers being opened up within
a very short time are bright.
On the Pioneer group, owned by
Messrs. Madsen and Greenwald, a shaft
Is being sunk on a vein which at a depth
of Is feet has widened from 5 inches to
over a foot. The walls are %porphyry and
granite and the pay crack averages bet
ter than 1925 in gold to the ton.
Ore is being sacked by each shift
working on the Bradley property at
Lime Point and a shipment is to be
made at an early date. The rock has an
average gold grade of about 800 per
ton and is being mined in a 4-foot ledge.
Sheriff Bradley, Ike Mckay and others
are the owners of the property.
A contract for so feet more of sink
ing has just been let by the Grapevine
-o
company and as soon as it is completed
it is to be followed by so feet more of
drifting. Former contractors had low
cred the shaft so feet and had one so
feet of drifting so that when the present
contract has been completed the shaft
will be 100 feet in depth and there will
be so feet of drifting at both the so and
10O-foot levels. Several strong lodges
have been cut during the course of low
ering the shaft and in drifting at the
50-foot level. and lying next to the
hanging wall of one of them is a 3-inch
streak of $500 ore. Sensational develop
ments are looked for before the present
contract expires. Already several tons
of high grade ore are piled up on the
dump and a shipment is to be made in
due time.

CAMP WELLINGTON
Large Amount of Development WORK ~
Being Done In An Portions OF
the District

Camp Wellington is prospecting ac--
cordinR to Sam @. Knott. manager OF
the properties OF the Wellington COLO
acid Mining n he predicts
something in the way of a sensation
from there within the next few weeks
Mr. Knott was in from the camp early
this week bringing with him a number
~ samples which he had assayed. Tne
rock came from a vein recently opened
AT surface and gave the following gold
returns: $3.50; s3O.S0; $3.50; sioo'o"'
1924 to the ton.
In speaking OF the camp Mr.. Knott
stated that a great amount Of prospect
ing was being lone in all portions OF the
| district n that encouraging results
we're almost universal. On the property
90 he wellington Goldheld Mining COM
Many he said that the showing was i'm
nrovipg with each round of shots and
that he anticipated having shipping ore
WITHIN a few weeks. Operations are De-
ing furthered by means of a gasoline
hoist and as the shaft is lowered values
are continually improving.
At a depth of 100 feet a crosscut Is
heinp driven south for the purpose OF
| gaining contact with a fine appearing
Iedees showing at surface and the result
will be attained within rs feet more OF
arifting In the course of sinking
strineers of vein matter ranging from
1 to 6 feet in width have been encoun-
tered all of which have returned favor
able assays.
The outcrop of the ledge is In places
20 feet in height and wherever assayed
has invariably given good returns. Inc
MANAGEMENT is prosecuting a vigorous
course of development and the prospects
of finding pay grade in place. and that
within a comparatively short space OF
time. are considered bright.
On the property of the Nugget Mining
ompany which adjoins the holdings OF
the wellington on the west, the same
satisfactory condition prevails. A shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 125 feet al
a point about 100 feet distant from the
side line of the Wellington and a cross
cut is now being run out to catch the
wellington ledge. During the process
of sinking a number of feeders have
been encountered which have a pitch
| toward the north. They range In wldth
from 6 to IS inches and in each instance
have returned high grade gold values.
In the course of sinking. one ledge
fully IL feet in width has been encoun-
tered. assays along the foot wall run
ming as high as SIS in gold to the ton
At surface the general run of assays is
about $40 but picked samples often re-
turn gold values of several
| dollars to the ton. The district Is
located about % miles east of Goldfield
and seven miles east of Gold Crater.

SLEEPING DUMP ORE

During the life of the Kendall-Pat-
rick-Jones lease on the January a large
amount of comparatively low grade ore
was thrown over the dump owing to the
impossibility of treating it at profit at
that time. Since then, however, condi-
tons have changed n the rock is now
a desirable commercial product. AS a
result Zeb Kendall is engaged in super
intending the removal to the Columbia
sampler of several thousand tons of
this rock which has a tonnage value of
from $50 to $50.
