The owners of the Reade- Clemente
lease on the Gold Coin property are
very much. elated over the recent de-
velopments in their property. Some
time ago the shaft was sunk to the 15O-
foot level, but owing to the large vol
ume of water and not having pumping
facilities development work at this point
was discontinued. Recently, however.
the water has receded to such a degree
that it is an easy matter to take it out
in buckets and work has been resumed
on the lower level. A crosscut has Just
been finished to the ledge, which was
followed for some distance down the
shaft. At the 100-foot level, where the
ledge dipped out of the shaft the ledge
matter was in an oxidized form, but at
the $50 it has changed to the suIphide
state. The ledge shows much stronger
on the lowest level and it is believed
that when drifting is commenced m
thing in the sensational line will be
opened up. A large number Of mining
men have recently examined the find
and all of them regard it as a big thing
for the Diamondfeld section. The
theory has always beenl advanced that
with depth good values would be found.
and no doubt the discovery by the.leas-
ers on the Gold Coin will enthuse the
operators and other deep.shafts will be
sunk. Crosscutting will be continued
to the ledge known as the south ledge,
lying som distance from the shaft.
The work will be rushed with all pos
sible haste, and if the same conditions
exist there as in the main ledge, it will
place the gold coin on unequal with
any in the district. EAbout ten tons of
h~igh-grade shipping oreI have.accumu-
lated in doing development work on the
lOO-foot level and it is expected that
when the lodges on the lower level have
been opened up and developed regular
shipments will be the order of the day.
The management ofltheID iamondfeld
Triangle in the Dianondfeld section Of
the Goldfeld district commenced cross
cutting from the 100-foot level the first
of this week and will rush work along
at a rapid rate, The objective point of
the crosscut will be to a point 200 feet
south of the shaft. where it is thought.
the ledge running through the Gold
Coin property, adjoining on the east,
cuts through the Triangle. The leasers
working on the same ledge on the Gold
Coin have recently encountered a sui
phide zone and the Triangle people will
endeavor to locate the same shoot on
there ground. At the 40-foot level
drifting is still being carried out on the
three-foot ledge and recent develop.
ments points very favorably to encoun-
tering a rich bodvIof ore.
Abner Mcdaniel, manager of the
Goldfeld United Mining e. Milling Com
pany, left a few days ago for Casey's
Flats, where he will superintend the
installation of the new hosting plant
on the %company's property. Mr.. Nc
Dannel expects to have the machinery
in working order lin a few days and in
tends to rush development work as
never before. The strike made last
week in the shaft of the sGoldfeld
United has created quite a stir among
mine owners in that section and the
result is that preparations are being
made to mmenc work on a number
of locations.
In the south crosscut from the bottom
of the l50-foot level lin the Daisy prop
erty at Diamondield a very encourage
ing and rich strike was made the early
days of this week. The new find con-
sists of a very strong ledge which was
encountered at a point 200 feet south
OF the shaft, and thus far has been
penetrated for a distance of eight feet.
but there is no sign of the other wall.
The ledge matter is similar to that
found in the Gold Coin property, which
adIoins the Daisy on the west, and the
management is of the opinion that it is
the same lead. Samples recently taken
from the vein show an abundance of
petite and the Review reporter was
informed that an average sample re-
turned values running close to the $50
marx. The crosscut from this level
WIN be continued on until the dyke
"hlch outcrops so prominently on the
surface is cut. When this point is
reached it is thought that values sur
passing anythinglyet found in the prop
et'y VIII be encountered. In an open
eat on the surface a stringer measuring
eent inches, lying next to the hanging
wan, was opened up and values as high
90 @oVV We're obtained. Extensive de-
seiopment work on the 75-foot level is
a'So being carried out and the result is
nos' gratifying. A drift has been
