MAYrE LEASE

Captain A. II. Mayne and Herbert
Cook are prospecting and developing
two lodges at their lease on block No. s,
north end of the Kendall claim with the
probabilities strongly in favor of their
finding pay ore in place with depth. Both
veins are combinations Of those being
so successfully worked in the Sand
storm and the main Kendall workings
A shaft is being sunk on each of the
leads and at the same time they are be-
ing stripped at surface with varying
success. High grade ore is frequently
encountered in punches and whenever
it occurs is sacked for shipment. The
same condition prevails in both shafts,
but thus far no permanent pay values
have been located. The shafts are of
shallow depth, however. and as they are
lower ed the lodges continually present
stronger indications of making into
shipping grade
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-02-16

The ore at the 160-foot point is the
equal in value of any ever mined in the
workings and frequently assays as high
as $4,000 in gold to the ton. The aver
age grade, however, is about $500 per
ton, with occasional pockets showing IN
the lead which average we'll up into the
thousands of dollars per ton. So far as
developed there is no trace of sulphides
in the ledge and there is little question
of it's being a continuation of the rich
shoot opened at the so and 100-foot
levels At both the last mentioned
points the high grade is contained in
brown, crumbly well oxidized quartz and
the same characteristics prevail at the
point of operations in the north drift al
the 160-foot level.
In the south drift ar that level, how
ever, the reverse is true and sulphides
are a predominating feature in the
quartz. Values are likewise lower.

Effect

That prolific producer of high grade
gold values. the Black Butte claim of
the Diamondheld Black Butte Consol-
idated Mining company, comes to the
front this week with another strike
which promises to equal any ever made
on the property. The find was made
about zoo feet west of the present in
cline shaft from which sensational
values have been mined for the past
two months. The ledge is showing 3
feet in width and assays have been OBJ
tained as high as $500 to the ton. The
average value. however. is a fair ship
ping grade. For a distance of 700 feet
the lead has been opened up by means
of open cuts and it pans well for the
entire distance. Sacking is in progress
and as development proceeds the indica-
tions favor the opening up of one of the
richest shoots ever found on Black
Butte ground.
Operations continue steadily in the
incline shaft and values are holding well
under the test of development. The
present point of exploration is in the
east and west slopes in the 4o-foot level.
The pay streaks are showing about IS
inches in width and the rock is filled
with free gold. One hundred sacks
filed with the precious product were
hoisted from the workings this week
and when the tonnage has been added
to somewhat shipment is to be made
which will discount the rich consign-
ment sent out two weeks ago.
News of the new strike on the Black
Butte became noised abroad last Mon
day afternoon and that evening Dia-
mondfield Black Butte Consolidated
shares sold on the curb as high as 60
cents, an advance of 10 cents over Sat
urday's closing price. Friday of last
week a deal was consummated in Tono-
pah whereby the shares of the heaviest
stockholders in Diamondfield Consol-
idated were pooled for one year.

FLORENCE SHIPMENT

Forty tons of high grade ore went out
this week from the Florence mine to the
plant of the Western Ore Purchasing
company at Millers siding The ship
ment was the second to be made during
the present month and held much higher
gold values than the previous one.
Work on the found2 tion and frame Of
the building which is to house the samp-
ling plant is progressing favorably and
everything will be in readiness for the
installation of the plant by the latter
part of the month
Never in it's history was the Florence
mine in better condition than at present
for high grade ore is being mined on
nearly every level. On the third and
fourth levels the rock is particularly
rich assays at times denoting the pres
ence of several thousand dollars worth
of gold to the ton. Sulphides prevail IN
the ore of the lower levels as does rusty
gold, the latter frequently being plas-
tered all over the surface

ALL LITIGATION is SETTLED
D. Mackenzie s. Co. Act as Agents for
the Purchasers and Strong Com
pany Is Organized to Push
Development of the
Property

The most important local mining
transaction of the past few days was
the sale of the Bonanza claim, located
one mile east of the Gold Bar to a party
of local and eastern capitalists who in
tend to develop the property on an ex-
tensive scale. The former owners of
the claim were the st. Francis Gold
Mining company and John E. Lutz. the
first mentioned owning a three-fourths,
and the latter one-fourth interest. D.
Mackenzie & Co. We're the agents in the
transaction, and while the purchose
price is withheld it is known to be well
up in the thousands of dollars.
This sale is important both because It
demonstrates that there is always
money available for meritorious Gold
field mining enterprises despite the at
fractions offered by newer mining
camps and also because the development
of the Bonanza gives an impetus to min
ing operations in the eastern end of the
belt. 1t is the purpose of the new own
ers to at once take up the development
of the property and to explore the acre
age through the medium of a deep work
ing shaft.
Twenty tons of ore having a value of
dump, the rock having been taken out
by a former lessee. Before an oppor-
tunity presented to ship the product,
however legal entanglements inter-
ferred, which were but recently straight
ened out. The shaft is down 80 feet and
more than $50 feet of prosecuting and
drifting have been done At the surface
a 4-foot ledge is showing which returns
gold values of from s25 to $50 to the
ton. Thirty-two assays recently made
returned values ranging from sS toS5,921
per ton.
The property was recently incorpor-
ated under the name of the Goldfield
Madonna Mining company and the stock
is to be listed on the Goldfeld, San
Francisco and New York stock ex-
changes. The corporation is one of the
strongest In its personnel operating in
the Goldfeld district. H. T. Bragdon is
president; ]. L. Lindsay, vice president;
John S. Cook, treasurer; Grenville H.
Hays, secretary. The before mentioned
gentlemen together with A. d. Meyers
compose the directorate. r. G. Withers
is counsel for the company.
The directors have subscribed for
more than 100000 shares of the COM
pany stock and the money has been
placed in the treasury for development
purposes Aside from this sufficient of
the treasury stock has been underwrit-
ten by d. Mackenzie & Co. to guarantee
$40, 900 for the exploration of the prop
erty.

BuLLFRoG SALE

One of the more important mining
transactions in Southern Nevada during
the present month is the sale of a con-
trolling interest in the Denver Bullfrog
Annex Mining company to Messrs. Od-
die, Carstairs and Sherwood Aldrich,
the latter a prominent mining man OF
Colorado Springs Colo. The deal was
concluded early this week and involved
the payment of 100000. Six hundred
thousand shares of the capital stock of
the company were purchased at 10 cents
per share which affords the new owners
ample control as the capitalization is
200, 900 shares.

TRIANGLE SHOWS BIG

At depth of 100 feet in the shaft on
the Diamondfeld Triangle, about so feet
to the west of the station level, the
ledge which had hitherto been showing
8 feet in width has widened out to more
than feet and as it is prospected is be-
coming stronger and values are con-
stantly increasing. Two and one-half
feet of the vein matter lying next to the
hanging wall returns average values of
better than 500 in gold to the ton, while
the balance of the ledge carries high
milling values. Heretofore the values
found in the lead were of mill grade
only, running from 500 to $40 per ton
The rock is being sacked and a ship
ment is to go out within the next two
weeks. In order to facilitate develop
ment a new shaft has been started on
the ledge directly above the face of the
drift

GREAT BEND EXPERIMENTATION

The final act in the deal by which the
control of the Great Bend property
passed over to the hands of Messrs.
Lotus and Davis, was consummated
this week. AS result there is a new
directory of the company and new Of
ficers, the old board having resigned
and retired. The new board consists of
NJ e. Cook, Salt Lake, r. o. Hobson, of
the Columbia sampler. Herbert Cook of
the banking house of John s. Cook &
Co, j. r. Davis and J. p. Lotus Mr..
LOTUS ia president and Mr.. Davis is
vice president and general manager.
The new management is pushing the
work with a full force; but the work of
the former managers was of such a
character that much of it has to be done
over before the ground can be worked
safely and expeditiously. This is caus-
ing some unforeseen delays but ore for
shipment is rapidly piling up.

The rock mined at that point is sent to
the Dayton plant. No attempt is made
to separate or sort over the product but
it goes out just as it comes from the
mine. 1t has an average grade of about
S100 the ton and 30-ton shipments are
made daily The shipments to the
Doran plant will be about 20 tons per
day. Aside from the before mentioned
consignment it is announced that ship
ments to the smelters at Salt Lake City
are to begin within a short time
For some days past there have been
persistent rumors to the effect that a
consolidation of the Red Top and Jumbo
Mining companies was on the tapis but
the truth of the report is emphatically
denied by c. d. Taylor, president of
both the corporations interested. Mr..
Taylor states tha- no such deal is pend
ing and that no such plan has ever beer
considered

JANUARY

This morning the new electric hoist
which supercedes the gasoline hosting
plant at the January mine of the Gold
field Mining company went into commits
sion. The mechanism is working
smoothly and no trouble in its opera
tion is anticipated. The plant consists
of a 50-horse power electric hoist and
three % horsepower transformers.
Later an electric pump is to be added to
the equipment.
With the installation of more power
full machinery the production from the
mine is to be largely increased and will
shortly be in excess of 40 tons daily.
the present output being about e5
per day. For months past the property
has not done itself justice in the mat
ter of production owing to the fact that
the limited capacity of the gasoline
plant made it impossible to lift any
quantity of ore from the lower levels.
Now that the trouble has been OBJ
Waited, however, mining operations are
to be taken up on an extensive scale in
the deeper workings as well as in those
nearer surface. The old gasoline plant
is not to be dismantled now that more
modern machinery has been installed
but is to be held in reserve as an auxil-
iary in case of necessity.
In the upper workings the mine is
maintaining its record for values and
as the lodges are exp, ored new and rich
ore deposits are regularly opened up.
Shipments are being sent out as fast as
the samplers at Columbia and Millers'
siding can care for the product, the rock
ranging in value from $50 to $500 in
gold to the ton. At no point where de-
velopment is in progress is there lack
of satisfactory values.

Saturday last, late in the day, the
bonanza ore shoot of the Sandstorm
was caught in the 150-foot level OF No.
G. and the values We're found TO be of
the same sensational character as in the
upper levels. Opening the ore at this
point gives so to 75 feet of back stoping
on a body of ore that for strength and
value reaches even beyond the best this
wonderful vein has ever shown. Work
of drifting southwark is being prose-
cuted to determine the length or strike
of the shoot, and no stoping whatever *
being done Still there is an output Of
hundred sacks a day OF stuff that
runs into the thousands.
This strike, aside from the value of
the ore, is extremely important as It
seems to finally settle the vexed ques-

output on a large scale. The Kendall
has an enormous body of mill ore from
which good values will be extracted and
a steady revenue be secured. The Kin
kead mill, which has recently been comt
pleted was erected purposely to treat
the Kendall output and now that it has
been thoroughly tested and found to be
satisfactory, shipments will be heavy.
The first shipment was made this week,
consisting of 500 tons. The .Sandstorm
will also utilize this mill for its low
grade stuff

tion of the continuity of values in the
Sandstorm ore bodies with depth. With
the management there is now no further
fear for the future, and the plan of de-
velopment to be followed will be in line
with the assurance that this strike
gives.
On lease No. 5, there is the same con-
fidence of values at depth, though the
same level has not been reached as In
No. 6. The new S0-foot level shows the
ore: and while not so rich or big as in
the 150-foot lever in No. s. the shoot is
we'll defined and there are unmistakable
indications that the big ore body above
is making downward. The usual amount
of high grade stuff is piling up on this
lease but shipment will not go out
until the end of the month.
