JUMBO HAS
Is INCHES OF
$1,000 ORE
Three Levels Of Main Workings
in Shipping Ore--Sinking
Shaft to Catch the
Mohawk Vein

As The News reported last week the
vermilyea ledge on the Jumbo from
which in very short time the lessees
took over $4,000 worth of ore has been
rediscovered very recently in the open
cut from which the pay rock was stopped
and the great wonder was that 1t was
overlooked in the sampling which fol-
lowed the passing of the lessees. A
more thorough examination of the lead
this week has convinced the company
that in all probability 1t continues on
down to great depth and 1t will be
thoroughly explored and traced to its
source. The lead is Is inches wide and
averages In value substantially above
$1,000. There is every indication that
this shoot will point the way to a con-
siderable body of ore. In addition to
this several new good looking shoots
have lately been discovered on the sur
face and will be thoroughly prospected.
At the 300-foot, 250-foot and 200-foot
levels In the main workings the drifts
are all in good shipping ore and no eff
fort has yet been turned to extracting 1t.
Close to the Mohawk line the COM
pany is sinking a shaft expecting to
catch the great Mohawk ore bodies and
the chance of succeeding appears won
derfully good. The shaft is now down
about SO feet and is being pushed rapid
ly Conditions all through the Jumbo
ground are at this time surprisingly
good. On the Jumbo Extension several
strong lodges assaying as high as $500
have been traced toward and within 800
feet of the Jumbo line. From the course
of the lodges a junction at right angles
will undoubtedly be discovered with the
great Clermont vein and the result
should be some tremendously big ore
bodies.
The Juni5a has fro II the beg:rning
merited its name but 1t never looked so
big as II does at this time.

THINKS RAMSEY A auMmEH

Events at the new camp of Ramsey
are moving fast, adding rapidly to the
already wonderful story of Nevada's
mineral wealth. Jack Reynolds, who
several weeks ago visited the camp and
purchased for himself and associates
the Rather No. 2 claim, mas Just re-
turned to Goldfeld and is in high glee
over the turn that affairs are taking
Mr.. Reynolds says that Sam Wheeler
of Reno has refused an offer of $250,000
sion of the Ramsey-Comstock.
The Rather No 2, for which Rey-
nolds refused an offer of 100000, has
been prospected by trenching every s
feet and 21s foot ledge has been ex-
posed for 40 feet which averages be-
tween $500 and $500.
The Ellxins-R Robinson lease on the
Rather No. 2 at depth of only 10 feet
has caught the vein and is in shipping
ore of $50 value now. The shaft by
contract is to go 100 feet before cross
cutting is begun. Reynolds, who is also
an owner in the townsite, states that in
one day he sold enough town lots to
mount well up into six figures. A
for $4,000. The transportation and
smelter charges from the camp are but
SO. Reynolds reports that two stage
lines and an auto line are now running
to the camp and telephone line is to be
run from Dayton. Interested with Rey-
nolds in the camp are Tom Robinson,
j. S. Cook, Jno O'Keefe and the Cole
Bros.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-07-28

average in the neighborhood of 500,
$500.
On Wednesday night an assay vas
had from the Curtis and Ish lease of
s2.4o. On Thursday morning the vc,ues
had increased to $500 while the assay
taken on Thursday night returned
s50.s0. The lessees for some time have
been cutting a great ledge of very low
values and a small stringer was drifted
on. 1t is from this that the assays
were taken and at the present time the
stringer has widened out so as to cover
the entire drift. There Is practically no
doubt that a few days more will see
this lease also shipping.
In addition to these cited there are
numerous other leases where develop
ment is being pushed rapidly with the
conviction that few additional feet
will give pay ore. Among these are the
Mackenzie No. /. where with one of the
largest equipments in the camp a great
three-compartment shaft Is going down.
Here a 50-h.p. hoist with a smaller 10
hip. gasoline hoist and air compressor
and drilling plant are in use. The shaft
is down eco feet and is being projected
deeper. From the 150-foot and 200
foot levels crosscuts have been rua both
ways.
two-compartment shaft is down 100
feet on the Curtis Bros lease and with
15-h.p. hoist the shaft is being deep
ened rapidly.
On the Van Evera lease sub-let from
the Kalfus a two-compartment shaft is
down 140 feet. Here a 15-h.p. hoist is
in operation and additional sinking is
going forward.

KAIFus-MoHAwK

During the last week the Kalfus-Mo-
hawk lease has been shipping about so
tons of high grade rock daily. On
Tuesday a large consignment OF track
was unloaded on the ground and as soon
as this is laid the output will be very
greatly increased. The tonnage will
then probably be as heavy as that from
any of the other blocks. This week the
associates of Mr.. Kalfus sold their in
terests in a part OF the block upon
which a new shaft has been sunk lac
feet deep to connect with the Kalfus
workings Kalfus has retained his full
interest in the ground and the sub-leass
will be known as the Kalfus-Boyle lease
The gallows frame for the new shaft is
nearly complete and big 30-h.p. elec-
trio hoist is already on the ground.

rAIRvIEw EAGLE LESSEE
OPENS 81 300 ORE

The Fairview Eagle Mining company
reports a strike on the Taylor lease on
blocks and s. The ore, which is dark
with manganese, shows the same
greenish horn silver which is found in
the Nevada Hills rock. Assays from
this ledge which is distinct from the
vein the company is working on have
run as high as $1,000. but the grade has
scarcely been established as yet. Ship
ping ore. however, is being sacked.
The company is extracting ore north
east of the shaft of the same general
character as that from the first strike,
and work on the shaft, while not being
pushed because of the delayed hoist, is
showing up favorably. The road to tha
Nevada Hills property has been con-
tinued to the Eagle ground and all is in
readiness for the hoist. AS soon as this
is installed the shaft will be continued
to cut the ore body which has been ex-
posed on the surface.

suits.

there has been opened up stringer of

which over so tons of exceedingly high
grade ore is being shipped. This block
is equipped with 4O-hp. hoist and
work is moving rapidly.
The Frances Mohawk Mining and
Leasing company which is working a
block of ground sub-leased from the
Hayes and Monnette interests is in
splendid condition. Work on the ground
began on May 10th and within 60 days
shipping ore was encountered. The in
itial shipment was made on July 23d,
since which time the lease has been
sending out about 80 tons per day. The
shaft is down 220 feet cutting two lodges
and about IFS feet of crosscutting has
been done. The equipment here con-
sists of 25-h.p. electric hoist and ma
chine drills, the first in the camp. The
shaft is two-compartment and what the
output of the ground will be. as soon
as little additional drifting gives room
for breaking down the ore, is impossible
to estimate.
In the Kalfus lease a two-compart-
ment shaft is down It's feet and sinking
is to be continued. Work is going for
ward on the 1O0-foot and 16O-foot levels
and SO tons of high grade ore is being
shipped daily. When the various drifts
are tracked and the new shaft is con-
nected with the present one, or in a very
few days the output will be quadrupled.
BY the time this paper is issued the
Mohawk Leasing and Developing COM
pany will be shipping at least 80 tons
of rock per day. The ground is well
equipped with a two-compartment snafu

HAT OF THE BLUE BULL

On the Hammocker and Dougherty
lease on the Hat claim of the Blue Bull
group a more cheerful aspect prevails
than has for some time been entertained
At the time of The News representa-
tiyes last visit the lessees were sinking
an incline on ledge which panned very
well. Having attained depth whlch
rendered a windlass necessary they de-
cided to explore the 60-foot shaft they
had already sunk preparatory to moving
the hoisting apparatus. A lew shots IN
the crosscut opened up a ledge OF "hlte
tale which in so many places In the
camp appears to be a forerunner OF
values. The crosscut is headed Tor
large dyke which pans on the SURFACE
and when the dyke is cut below good
