The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-04-27

The foregoing notice was received by
the various banking houses of Goldfield
on Monday morning last. and posted in
a conspicuous place on the closed and
curtained doors.
AS the public had not been given any
intimation of such action, great crowds
surrounded the banks inquiring about
the reason. Without any further light
on the subject than what was found IN
the notice, various rumors soon set
afloat much to the disquietude of the
great deal of complaint and censure of
the governor for what was termed an
arbitrary and unwarranted action,
which would only add to the embarrasS
ment Of the local situation. Runors
were soon afioat to the effect that the
local banks were weak and had all their
funds tied up in the San Francisco
banks and that they welcomed If not in
spired the governors proclamation. The
real motive for the governors action
became known throughout the city, in
time, and all censure and anxiety were
swept away, and it was finally conclud-
ed that in view of the fact that every
bank in the state of California had been
closed. it was the only course left open
for the banks of Nevada, between which
and the California banks there is such
great interchange of business. The
closing of the banks, however. made it
very inconvenient for local merchants
and business men generally for no
warning had been given so that ready
money for immediate use could be
drawn from the banks, and checks and

GREAT BENDS
STEADY GAINS
Sinking and Drifting Continues in Prep
aration for q Heavy output-Retim-
bering of Old Shaft Completed
and Power Hoist to he
Installed

Superintendent Malone. of the Great
Bend. has just completed retimbering
and shaping up the old shaft to a depth
of 200 feet, and is now prepared to lift
heavy tonnage from the ground down
to a depth of 120 feet. Meanwhile,
crosscutting at 200 feet out to the vein
will be pushed forward and in Is or 20
days the Great Bend will have stopping
ground on three different levels.
On the south vein a considerable
amount of rich ore is being extracted to
a depth of so feet, but the vein has not
yet defined itself sufficiently to make
more than a limited output.
Strikes on the same ground east and
west, are both proving out excellently
with every days work. More than 1000
sacks of ore are now piled up ready for
shipment and this will go down to the
sampler during the week.
Now that the shaft Is ready for opera
tion, the Great Bend output will be con-
tinuous and heavy. Manager Davis says
it is his intention to go down to 500 feet
as soon as power hoist can be in
stalled.

ANOTHER STRIKE AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

In a shaft IS feet deep four two-foot
holes were drilled. The drillings from
these holes panned So worth of gold,
while an average sample of the drillings
assayed $4,000. Shots put in opened
up an extremely rich vein, the ore re-
sembling in color and formation and
richness, the extraordinary ore recently
exhibited by Lotus and Davis at their
office from the property which made the
district How wide the vein is cannot
at this time be determined, but the bot
tom of the whole shaft was in this rich
ore. On the discovery, the shaft was
closed up until ore sacks could be pro-
cured and buildings erected in which to
safely store the treasure.

SANDSTONE

An unconfrmed rumor is to the effect
that the 2O0-foot point on the Sand
storm in the company's ground, is shap-
ing up most satisfactorily and a large
amount of rich ore is being sacked in
the mine. For some days the ground
has been erratic but now it is believed
permanent ore chute has been reached.
There is, however, no doubt about Dig
ore chute having just been opened at
the sane level (200) in the Kendall
ground What the value OF it is at the
present time cannot be ascerta;ned, but
this much is certainly known: they are
lifting heavy tonnage every day, and
the great ore bins they are building on
the hillside are being filed as rapidly as
they are constructed.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
ENGINEER OLIvER MATTHEWS

Just as this issue of The News was
going to press word was received from
the county hospital of the death Of
Oliver Matthews, the well known min
ing engineer. Mr.. Matthews had only
been i'll a few days and his death came
as a sudden blow to the entire COM
munity.
Oliver Matthews stood in the list of
the foremost mining engineers of Ne
vada, and he represented among the
most important interests operating in
the state. In Goldfield he had charge of
the Silver Pick and Lone Star companies
belonging to the Aidrich syndicate, of
Colorado Springs, and represented the
same interests in the great Tramps,
Denver and Eclipse consolidation in
Rullfrog Only a few days ago he re-
turned from Fairview whittier he had
gone with his principals to take over an
important property. Upon him the
Aldrich interests relied implicitly in
their Nevada investments, and he was
putting them into the greatest proper
ties of the state.

McLIsLE LEASE

A 2O-horse power hoist is to be in
stalled at once at the collar OF the shaft
on the East Side claim under lease tc
j. W. McLisle, and Immediately there
after the shaft will be sunk from the 90
to the 300-foot point At the greater
depth the ground is to be proved up by
means of crosscuts and drifts. The
claim is located on Columbia mountain
between the properties of the ORC
Goldfield and Columbia Mountain COM
ianies and adjoins the Booth estate on
the north. Its prospective value ranks
with any in camp as the probabilities
are strongly in favor of the sending OF
nav values at depth.

The buggy turned, throwing him

RECORD STRIKE

the shade. From returns that have al
ready been made. all former leasing
record will pale into insignihcance.
The new strike is ON Mohawk No 1,
adjoining the Combination on the north.
and is but a short distance from the
last Ish strike
A 10O-foot shaft was sunk on the
ground, and from here drifts and cross-
cuts were run. disclosing fair values.
Sinking was continued to the 150-foot
level where the large bodies Of orc were
encountered after extensive prospecting.
The drift toward the Reilly-Ish ground
was rushed vigorously, the ore widened
out and the values increased with every
round that was broken down. The vein
is almost 80 feet wide and carries
values from SEQ TO $500 All Of the ore
is being shipped without any attempt
at sorting, and during the past week
half dozen teams have been hauling to
the Columbia sampler Already six car
loads have been delivered 10 the mill,
and with the new hoist the leasers ex-
pect to break so tons Of shipping rock.
The shaft has been run down to the ESQ
level where this same phenomenal body
of high grade has been found that holds
the same values as the ore on the 100
foot. With the additional machinery
that will be placed on the property, a
larger force of men viii be pat to
work in the lower level.
Present indications point 10 this lease
as being the very richest one that has
ever been struck in the district.
The third shift was added to the
working force at the Kalfus lease on
the Mohawk property the first of this
week. The shaft has reached a depth
of 200 feet and while the rumor could
not be confirmed IL was reported that
very substantial strike had been
made.

THIRD TEST OF
GREAT RED TOP
Forco Reduced to Enable Thorough
Testing of Mine by Reputed Pur-
chaserg But Shipments Con-
time to Mill and
Smelter

The Red Top mine is being sampled.
and experts have been under ground for
two or three weeks making a thorough
and complete examination of the prop
erty. This is the third and last expert
ing of the property to be made at this
time, and while it is denied at the mine,
it is generally understood the mine is to
be sold upon the report that is to be
made as result of this examination.
While this exporting is going on, the
force of workmen underground has been
necessarily somewhat curtailed. Only
16 to 20 men are at work, and only de-
velopment work is being done. Not
withstanding this enough mill dirt is be-
ing raised daily to keep the mill going
every day, with a capacity of 13 or IA
tons.
Yesterday the management received
returns from two carloads of ore sent
to the smelter The result was that
$13,170.25 was banked to the credit of
the Red Top company. Six cars are at
the smelter still to I've 4 ard from, and
they are expected t.es@. equally well.
This ore was taken our in the progress
of development work only part Of II
coming from the new find in the 100
foot level. This find was made in the
south drift, nearly 200 feet south of the
point where ore was encountered in this
same drift some time ago. This new
find is one of the most important in the
history of the mine. The ore is high
grade. and the body large; just how
large cannot as yet be determined. as
no prosecuting has yet been done.
