$3.50 per ton in gold. The property Is
only three miles from the surveyed line
I of the "Borax" Smith railroad and
there will be no trouble in securing an
abundance OF water for milling pur-
poses.
The Commodore group of six claims
situated about one-half mile southeast
of the Gold Bar was sold Monday by
the owners, G. E. Sexton and J. r.
Mcdonald, to Taylor and Grf1ths,
Rhyoite. Surface assays have been
obtained on this property ranging from
$3.50 to S35. A 100-foot shaft will be
started at once, as the new owners in
tend to develop the property to its full
| est extent as rapidly as money and
men can do the work.
The sensational strike I'm the Red Oak
shaft within thirty feet of the Lucky
Jack east side line confirms the belief
of mining men that the Montgomery
| Shoshone ore body continues to the
northeast under the Lucky Jack and
Red Oak ground. In the direction in
which it is apparently running there
| will be about 700 feet or more of the
ledge on the Lucky Jack. The highest
assay on the Red Oak was 1922 and an
average across thirty inches went $40.
The highest assay obtained on the
Lucky Jack was $50 in a kidney, with
| average assay Of SIG, $1S and $22 In the
quartz and tale stringers. The ore In
both is similar in character to that on
the Montgomery-Sh -Shoshone The main
fault line running through the prop
critics is very broad, giving opportu-
nifty for the ground to be widely min
eralized.
Sam Phail president of the Death
Valley Lone Star Mining company,
came in Sunday with some fine looking
samples of steel galena ore tale from
one of the claims on that property. An
| a ff,fs orfN11 g
ore was found just as development
work was begun. The streak has wild
ened to twelve inches and is improving
with every shot.
John Keane and Domingo Etschar-
ran, owners of the famous Keane
Wonder mine in the Funeral range,
leave for San Francisco on the 10Th,
where they will receive the next pay
ment due on the bond given by them
to Wedekind and Patrick. This Is in
teresting news to the people In the
Keane Wonder district, as many big
deals are hanging on the action of
those who have bonded the Wonder.
Mother Lode Specimen
President Henry Mamgren and Vice
President W. e. McMartin of the Clio
Gold Mining company are showing
with pardonable satisfaction and pride
a piece of ore from their mine on the
mother lode in Tuolumme county. The
ore is from a strike just made while
drifting on the 4O0-foot level. The
piece weighs about ten or fifteen
pounds. Through the center is a streak
of white quartz about three inches
wide, which is literally filed with gold.
The streak, as shown in the sample,
will run at least $685. to the ton,
while the entire piece will run $4,000 to
the ton. The extent of the strike is

lively pushed. The piece of ore may be
seen at the office of the Clio company,
345 Douglas building.
Lively at Manhattan
A press telegram from Goldfeld
states that excitement at Manhattan
continues unabated. II looks as If the
old Comstock days we're to be repeated
Carloads of rich ore showing free gold
| are shown on the streets of Goldfield
For six days the Briggs lease actually
averaged an output of $100 an hour.
That the ore veins go deep has been
proven beyond doubt One hundred
thousand dollars has been offered and
refused for the Mayflower claim. The
Annie Laurie Of the Manhattan Min
ing company made it's first shipment
of ore to Goldfeld, sending twenty
tons of heavy quartz that averaged
$500 a ton. This shipment was run
through the Gardner mill yesterday.
Men purporting to be agents of
Charles A. Schwab and John w. Gates
are quietly obtaining properties.
Sales aggregating a total value of
81 900, 900 were made in the month Of
January.
The trains to the new camp are load
ed down. c. F.. Humphrey. the San
Francisco attorney, paid out $4,000 for
an interest in leases.
