Goldfield, New, June 80. - Great is
Goldfield The future will see 100 gold
mines in this camp. There are already
twenty. This week two have been add
ed to the list
One of the greatest strikes in the
history of gold mining has just been
made by the Kalfus lease on the Mo-
hawk claims. At a depth of l4O 1eet
the hanging wall of an immense VEN
of ore has been encountered, and on
this hanging wall there is a pay streak
giving assays clear across. The lowest
ASSAYS have been $500: the highest have
been $4,000. A hundred sacks of ore
we're taken out the day the strike was
made. and the place has been Verita-
nile beehive ever since. The ore is a
heavy ,tellurium. The formation runs
northeast and southwest. The ground
is fully a city block distant from the
already famous Hayes & Monnette
lease. and the vein is very evidently
new one. It runs in the direction of
the Bradbury lease. The lease is owned
by ]. L. Kalfus. John s. Cook, walter

]. n. Van Evers of Marquette, Mich,
general manager of the BegOle Mines
syndicate corporation of Boston cap
ital. arrived i'm Goldfield two weeks
ago. At that time the men in the Kali
fus lease we're somewhat discouraged,
having spent considerable money with
out finding any ore. Mr.. Van Evers
made an offer for 100 feet of the ground
held bv the Kalfus people. and got it
under a suitcase. The BegOle Mines
syndicate has. therefore. fallen heir TO
a fortune. because the indications are
that the new Kalfus vein goes through
this ground
Another strike was made the first of
the week on the Goldfield Daisy, four
miles north of the Mohawk, on the
Deth & Brewer lease. The Daisy has
rather a large acreage. The point where
this strike was made can be located on
the map, ii being just to the north of
the DiamondfielG Triangle and the
welI-knoWn Gold Coin claim of the
Jumbo Extension company. The for
nation runs into the end line~of the
Great Bend. property which has been
a faVorite in that district. The ore

January Jones is taking ore out OF
his lease on the Cornishmen. In fact.
a glance over the district furnishes re-
markable evidence of the greatness of
Goldfield. The following mines may be
said 10 have proven good, for shipments
OF ore are going forward from all of
them with more or less regularity:
January. Jumbo, Red Top, St Ives
lease, Gold Bar. Kendall, Daisy-Deth
& Brewer lease: MohaWk-Hayes &
Monnette lease. Kalfus lease. Bradbury
lease: Florence-Peer q Pugh lease,
January Jones lease. Wallace lease, Nc
Kay lease; DiamOndfield.
Thus the list is growing. 1t would
be unfair, however, not TO mention that
there are many. many companies own
ing ground in favored localities which
are doing honest work and expanding
liberal sums of money in an effort to
develop mines. Some are mines now.
but not shippers. 1t is certain. in the
light OF what has been accomplished in
the last two years. that many more
mines will be discovered. If the Mo-
hawk is the center of interest just now.
II should be borne in mind that only
within the past two or three months
has III been known that ore existed
there All of the last summer and the
summer before that men passed over
that ground by the score every day
