The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-09-15

The Frances-Mohawk yesterday re-
ceived a settlement for perhaps the rich
est car of ore ever sent out from the
Goldfield district, and the mill which
purchased the ore now has the consign-
ment under guard of shot guns, that
none of the richer stuff might be alb
stracted.
The Nevada Goldfeld was the mill
which handled the ore, and from that
mill yesterday, the Frances-Mohawk re-
ceived in settlement for one car of ore
containing SO tons and 175 pounds, the
net amount of s20,943.S0. The gross
value of the shipment was s22,S6113. or
an average for the entire car of s6S6.16
per ton. This is the banner shipment
for ore in bulk ever made from the dis
trict, according to our present informa-
ton. The ore was shipped in a common
coal car, that no suspicion might be
aroused as to it's value.
When the Frances Mohawk lease was
shut down along with all the other

extraction. There is feet in the face
of the drift that averages $1,4S0 clear
across, and there are no walls. A rs
foot winze from samples gives $S3s.
A 95-foot raise shows ore running be-
tween $500 and 5000.
The rich streak which runs so high in
free gold, varies from to IA inches in
width. Samples taken across the streak
run s5o.2OO; $4,000; $1,000.
There are IA sacks in the vaults
which have been built in the mine and
in the vaults of one of the local banks,
that will run over $1,000 to the sack.
This ore is only what was left hanging
on the wall after it was shot out, for
the rich ore was, as a rule, shipped with
ore of lesser value, for obvious reasons.
The various leases on the Mohawk
will all resume now that work through
out the camp has started up, and the
developments of the next few weeks will
be watched, doubtless, with open-eyed
astonishment.

NEW $500 VEIN DISCOVERED

The Round Mountain Mining company
has purchased the water supply of steb-
bins ranch 3h miles from the mine.
Surveys have been made for a pipe line
and crew of 12 men under the direc-
tion of I. II. HazelSrove viii begin next
week to dig the trench from the ranch
TO the mine while another force headed
by superintendent Macdonald will work
from the mine This work will be rushed
with all possible speed to supply the
new mill with water. 1t is thought the
work will be completed in 30 days. Con-
Spiral Pipe works at Chicago for $1,000
feet of 3-inch and 5000 feet of 4-inch
spiral pipe. The mill foundations are in
and the stamps and mortars are on the
ground waiting to be installed.
The main working shaft is now 140
feet deep and the values continue as
good as in the upper levels.
Thomas Wilson, to whom a 3 months
dry washing placer lease was given has
opened a new vein 300 feet south of the
main ledge. Paintings from this body
range in value from $500 to $1,000. The
Wilson lease permits the working of the
wash only and does not carry any quartz
privileges. The company has given no
quartz leases whatever. In making
tests with the dry washer 81 an hour
was taken our. The company receives
20 per cent royalty.

mines and leases of the camp the early
part of this week, the company had out
eight cars that had not been settled for,
and for which no returns had been re-
ceived. Only the one cited above has
since been settled for and there are two
others out that will run even better, it
is said by the management, and that
these three cars ought to bring $4,000.
1t is estimated that this lease has ore
on the road and at mill easily worth
100000 beside the three cars re-
ferred to.
The Frances-M Mohawk has been one of
the most sensational leases in many re-
spects known to the history of any
camp. 1t was only 80 days ago that
ore was struck in this lease. and already
the production has amounted to $780,
600. When the lease closed down it was
producing $25,OO0 per day, and Mr.. Mac
kenzie and his superintendent, Mr.. Nc
Cabe have measured up 100000 of ore
blocked out and standing in the mine for
