AT BIG PRICE
AdjOins the Silver Pick and Is In
the Heart of a Promising
District---Other Sales
In Locality Named

The district lying Immediately north
and east of Goldheld. and adjoining the
town. promises to be the greatest pro-
ducer of gold for the area. known Ia
the mining world. 1t is the general be-
lief that the ore bodies of the great
Mohawk underle the Silver Pick and
other ground further north and west,
and this belief is emphasized by in
vestors who are greedily gobbling up
the choicest ground in that vicinity
that can be had.
Some days ago Hayes and Monnette.
owning the famous Mohawk lease bear
ing their name. purchased the Esmer-
aida claim, and now follows in quick
succession the sale of the Lou Dillon,
the Morning Star, the September claims,
and the White Rock group.
The L. NJ. Sullivan Trust company
were the fortunate purchasers of the
Lou Dillon claim. This company has
been operating in Manhattan, Fairview,
Bullfrog and other districts; but when
they found that the Lou Dillon claim
could be had. even though at a princely
price. they took it on, and have al
ready organized the Lou Dillon Mining
company to operate the ground. The
Lou Dillon lies Immediately west of the
Silver Pick and adjoining 1t, and end
lines the White Rock group on the
north. The Silver Pick is being worked
by eight sets of leasers. The Lou Dill
Ion has two sets of leasers at work, and
the company will soon be at work on
its own account, under the competent
supervision of Jack Campbell, mine
manager for the Sullivan company.
The Lou Dillon is one of the best
pieces of ground, prospectively, in this
immediate section. 1t shows four dis
tinct lodges, all dipping to the south
east toward Silver Pick ground. which
they will Undoubtedly enter at depth.
The four shallow shafts on the Lou Dill
Ion all show these veins to be carrying
values The two leases are promising
prospects. The Irwin Porter lease is
down As feet and has values running
from $40 to $14 across 7-foot vein
The Lindsay lease is down 20 feet and
assays have been had running as high
as $2s. This latter lease is only 100
feet from the Silver Pick sideline. Com
pany workings will be started and
pushed with the customary Sullivan en-
ergy, and Jack Campbell will get ore If
there is any in that particular part.

MOHAWK coNsoLxDArED
MAKES 0ooD SHOWING

The past week has witnessed splendid
progress on the lease of the Mohawk
Con The electric hoist is installed and
working perfectly; the big arc light on
the hoist lights up the working for the
night work. The shaft is now down to
the 140-foot level. Every minute is
utilized to the best advantage. At the
150-foot level a station will be cut and
drifting will be started. Already good
values are coming in Assays up TO
$40 have been frequently obtained. and
the formation is identical with that
which has preceded the pay shoots in all
the Mohawk producers.
With its present advanced develop
ment and excellent showing, and with
the lease now running until July 1st.
1907. the management is sanguine of
making record producer for the COM
pany. Al Myers has acquired block
Of stock in the company and has been
elected one of Its directors. All in all
the Mohawk Consolidated would seem
to have a very bright future.

in progress north and south on the
ledge at 150-foot point and occasional
good assays are secured.
The showing at the 200-foot level on
the Detch and Brewer lease is good but
the management is satisfied that
greater depth will have to be reached
before big and permanent values are to
be found and the work of sinking will be
under full headway next week.
The Kansas City Leasing company
has it's big shaft down so feet and it
will be continued down as fast as three
shifts can sink it. The company is do
ing good work and the manager talks
and acts as though it was only ques-
tion of a few weeks or so of steady driv-
ing when shipments would be in order

In the neighborhood of 40 miners are
employed on the Kendall and the ma
jority of them are engaged on dead
work. A production of about 20 tons a
day is being made. New ore shoots are
being opened up in the different under
ground and also in the surface work
ings. Sections of the surface so feet
wide appear to be all ore. Everything
shoyeled out is run over coarse grizzly
and the fine stuff shipped and the coarse
rock Is placed on dump and later on
will be run over and the ore sorted
from the waste. There is a good show
ing in the bottom level where drifts and
crosscuts are being run.
L. Carine has recently been appointed
superintendent of the mine. He had
charge of mines in the Transvaai. Soutl
Africa. for Is years and is thorough
practical miner.

Nevada and Eastern
A second shift has started to work ON
the Silver Pick lease of the Nevada &.
Eastern Leasing company, and with two
shifts at 1t the shaft will very likely
reach the 100-foot level before a nowar
hoist can be installed
The vein is over three feet wide Qua

A shipment of 25 tons was marketed
a few days ago from the company's
shaft on the Great Bend which came
from 15O-foot level where nice body
of ore has been encountered in the
course of development work Assays
would indicate a value per ton of lr ,rl
$3.50 to 5000.
The new pump which has been In
stalled is working nicely and raising
about 10000 gallons of water daily. This
is now going to waste but in all prob
ability it will be utilized IN the near
future either for mill or domestic use.
The company shaft has reached a
depth of 240 feet and will be lowered
to the 300-foot mark before a station is
cut At present the ore production is a
side issue as the company management
has decided to devote all its energy to
opening up what appears to be one OF
the good mines of the district.

GOLD BAR is LOOKING GOOD

A new hoist that will be run by com
pressed air has been ordered which Will
be installed at the 65-foot level and the
ore body which has been proven up In
a winze sunk $50 feet will then be thor
oughly explored. Connections Will be
made with one of the drifts at the 200
foot level and when this is accomplished
the Gold Bar will become one OF the
steady shippers of the camp.
The Gold Bar Leasing company, which
is operating on the north end of the
property is making preparations to sink
an additional 100 feet At the 100-foot
level a crosscut has been driven 35 feet
on the dyke and the rock taken out as
says at the rate of " ton without
sorting The lessees believe that with
greater depth an ore shoot VIII be
found on the dyke that will be the talk
of the camp.

PURE GOLD BY THE BAGFULLS

Pot group owned by Darcy in his judg-
ment makes the finest showing h the
district. He says they have S.ere body
of ore yet opened only in one place, but
there are two feet of it, and every
pound of it is sacked having an aver
age value as taken out without sorting.
of $500 a ton In many respects he
says it resembles the great Nevada Hills
ground at Fairview. and it is wholly
within the possibilities that in this
Darcy property, the Nevada Hills has
worthy rival.
The Great Nevada Hills
OF the Nevada Hills property there
are such things TO be said of it, that one
necessarily must speak with caution.
Here the work has gone on for some
months, the values and extent of the ore
bodies steadily increasing. the average
daily output now reaching about s2,5OO
day. and this without the presence of
a pound of machinery, or any of the
usual requirements for mine operation
A steady stream of ore is going out
and more is mined from the ground than
can be taken care of by the freight
equipment of the country. The las.
shipment returned to the corporation net
SZlsVVU, anu lHttt arc at pit1Shh tPhi
carloads in transit aggregating 140 tons
having an average value of $500 ton,
and there is now on the ground ready
for shipment 5000 sacks. The present
ore production is confined to two points
on the vein, one at the Eagles Nest, rhe
average value of which is 5000 per ton:
another at No. with an average va'ite
of about $500. and the two grades ate
mingled for shipment. Everything is
coming forward with entire satisfaction
at Fairview; they are making some good
strikes all around, especially on the
Wingfield group and the ground of the
ORC Plata Mining company. Here he
says they have recently come upon al
ore body that returns assay values as
high as $3.50 per ton, Lessees have
taken this ground and vigorous work has
already begun, it being the expectation
that right here another mine will soon
be added to the growing list at Fairview.

TO EXPLORE prxrE,s LEDGE

Work on the Dixie will be started up
In the near future. The property is
now being examined by a mining en-
gineer and the different levels are being
carefully sampled. The shaft is down
375 feet on a wide dyke and it is the
intention to continue 1t to the water
level. Wide bodies of low grade ore
have been found and 1t is believed by
the management that if a sufficient
water flow is encountered the ore all
ready in sight would warrant the con-
struction of a mill close to the mine. 1t
is the opinion of those who are ac-
quainted with the conditions on the
property that when the water level is
reached the sulphide quartz will carry
higher values than in the upper levels

All of the leasing companies operating
on the Goldfeld c. o. d. acreage are
pearance of the scenery on the estate,
and the panorama is changing every day.
The Goldfeld-F -Farga Mining company
has ordered 30-horse power hoist for
its lease and intends to sink it's shaft
500 feet. Drifts and crosscuts will be
run at every level which are to be 100
feet apart

An honest effort is being made on the
Kewana company ground to find the elu-
sive ore shoot and with every indication
that the effort will turn out to be sue
cessful one. The company's incline
shaft has reached a depth of 225 feet
and here the dyke of quartz was found
to be Is feet wide. Drifts are being ex-
tended on the wide body of low grade
rock both ways and a body of shipping
ore is likely to be entered any day. This
work is being done under the direction
of II. Klingender, mine superintendent
of 20 years experience. Two blocks OF
the north end of the Kewana ground
have been secured under lease and large
gallows frames have been placed over
the shallow shafts. Plants of machin-
cry have been ordered for both and
three shifts will be employed.

NEW LEASES ON THE ATLANTA

The Bismarck Mining and Leasing
company, new corporation has started
out in a business-like way TO get out
some of the gold that nature has so
generously distributed under the sage
brush that adorns the surface of the
Goldfeld mining district. The company
has secured lease on four blocks of
the Atlanta ground and have ordered a
plant of machinery. Work has already
been started on a working shaft which
is to be put down 800 feet without a
halt. The company is also negotiating
for the purchase of a very desirable
claim right in the heart of the produc-
ing belt. The men back of the enter
prise are J. ID. MacMasters, w. N. Wade
and X. II. Palmer

operation on the lease, two on the new
and one ON the old shafts. The old
shaft is being sunk for another lift of
So feet and from the bottom a crosscut
will be driven to the ore shoot. An at
tempt will be made to work out the new
block of ore; hence the necessity for
that new compressor. The days fly fast
to a leaser with more high grade ore in
sight than he can possibly handle. In
the effort to handle ii the lease will
be a pretty sight. 1t would make hit
film.
Employ lao Men
There are 40 men on the pay roll
and this number is being added to from
day to day. When the ore body at the
lowest level is entered and room is
made for men to work the force will
show big increase.
The original lease was a block 373 by
700 feet 1t is now $50 by 373 feet. The
balance of the ground was sold to other
lessees at a nominal sum and this was
done after IL was definitely known TO
Messrs. Hayes and Monnette that the
blocks transferred contained ore. They
did not increase the royalty as a bonus.
1t is a fiat one of 22h per cent. They
enough ore blocked out to make them
selves Independently rich and being
really big fellows they divided up with
others; and the others are getting rich
along with themselves.

at the head and have developed $4,000
gallons of water. AS to the matter of
mill construction, the battery beds and
mortars are all in place, and as soon as
the timber can be delivered, the engine
and boilers will be set, and it is ex-
pected that within 60 days from the
present time, the mill will be in steady
operation"
OF the possibilities Mr.. Davis says:
"The ore as it lies on the dump, espe-
cially to the west end, will run from $12
to $50 free gold, exceedingly free
every particle of gold in the rock wash
ing out with simple crushing and pan
ming; there are no bases of any kind
associated with the ore.
Round Mountain Extension
"Of the Round Mountain Extension
property, in which Mr. Davis and his as
sociates are also interested, he says:
Over on the new part of the territory,
which is in itself very extensive, they
have just come onto some ore which as
sayed on the surface about $780, and
sinking on it to a present depth of II
feet, it has opened up vein, at present
only a few inches in width that assays
$40 a ton. This streak seems well de-
fined and will probably develop into
something quite as remarkable as any
thing yet opened in this wonderful dis
trict."
Wonder Camp
Mr.. Davis has been out on general
tour of inspection, looking over the vari-
Gus properties in which he is heavily
concerned. and his entire trip covered
total run of 700 miles, extending from
Goldfeld to Fairview and Wonder. He
went out to Wonder camp and finds that
it has in it the promise of making
great camp, although the present condi-
tions are exceedingly raw, and opera
tions are carried on there with great
difficulty. The fact that the great Tono-
pah Mining company has taken over the
original strike has added great strength
and confidence to the new camp. but
what is shown on that particular ground
is hardly better if equal to what can be
shown elsewhere in the camp. The Jack
