ExcE1LENr COPPER VALUES

Splendid copper values are being Sc
cured from the bottom of the 109-foot
shaft on the Palmetto claim at Cedar
Springs and as the ledge is developed
its possibilities for making into a cop
per find of value are becoming more
pronounced. For the last 10 feet the
shaft has been in chalcopyrites and it
is thought that when the water level is
reached that condition will be followed
by the location of pay grade.
There is also an excellent showing GA
the Mckinley claim, adjoining. A
shaft has been lowered on the ledge 20
a depth of about As feet and has passed
through some very large pockets of red
and black oxide and m%alachite of cop
per showing gold values. The shaft is
to be continued on down to the water
level and the vein thoroughly tested.

I @ SILVER VALUES

T. E. Beauchamp was in this week
from his group of claims five miles
north of Ida and reports that he is re-
ceiving splendid returns in silver, lead
and gold across a 30-foot ledge. The
lead has been prospected through the
medium of an open cut and it is now
the purpose to sink a shaft on it and
prove up at depth. The first level is to
be run out at the 50-foot point and
from that depth on down to the $50
foot point stations will be cut and
drifts run out at each 50-foot mark.
Silver appears to be the predominating
metal in the ore and shows abundantly
in its native state. Assays have been
secured as high as 1000 ounces in the
white metal, a large per cent in lea |
and about $14 in gold.

INYO COUNTY

O. w. Baldwin, James Crowther, j..
w. Sherman and E. J. Luther, a party
of Minnesota men, who left here ten
days ago for Inyo county, California,
returned from their overland trip n
Wednesday, bringing some handsome
copper specimens, taken from a prop
erty which they located near Deep
Springs. Despite the cold they report
a delightful trip. They report seeing
many mountain sheep and other game,
as well as locating several fine springs
near their claims.
Zone thing which particularly i'm
pressed us" said Mr.. Baldwin discuss
ing the trip, "was the general forma-
ton of the country. We located several
properties upon which we found veins
between lime and granite. In fact this
is the general formation of the district
and there are quite a few people n
looking it over, and a number of com
panies have been at work for some
time on both copper and gold

Arrangements Being Made to Erect
25-Ton Mil

No section of partially developed
mineral territory in the state starts of
the new year under more promising
conditions than does Buena Vista, the
statement applying both to its mining
and general business possibilities. Al
though but a few months have passed
since the camp first attracted the at
tention of mining men of means 1T is
making rapid strides and from present
indications seems likely to become one
of the leading mining communities of
the state. A number of properties
have already passed their prospective
stage of development and are shipping
ore. Others are proving up well and
chances favor their coming in with
further exploration.
Among the new enterprises on taps
for the near future is the erection OF a
25-ton stamp mill. The plant is to De
installed on the property of Stocking
and Dennison, located about six miles
from the town of Buena Vista and is tn
he in operation within the next two
| months. Mr.. Stocking made a trip to
San Francisco recently and while there
ordered the mill, a 25-ton Hendy, n
also purchased considerable mining ma
chinery, including a large hosting
plant.
The towns of Buena Vista and Gold
HIT are increasing in population at a
really remarkable rate and all persons
engaged in commercial lines are re-
ported to be doing well. Buildings are
being erected as rapidly as lumber can
be secured and in many instances are
rented before the material is on the
ground.

ADDITIONAL MINING NEWS
CAMP McGIBBON

The Butte-Goldfeld company, the
control of which recently passed INTO
the hands of L. L. Patrick, c. II. Elliott
and Sol Camp, is planning the expendi-
ture of a large sum of money to thor
ouehly exploit the property, n put
il in shape so that the ore a be ham
died at the smallest cost. The property
ia now beyond the stage of uncertainty
, and II now remains to equip it in sncn
n wav that the mine ear be worked
with the greatest degree of economy.
IT is estimated that with the building
of a mill, the extension of the present
tunnel 400 feet more, the construction
of a pipe line from Thorp's well to the
mine. and the incidental and SUISSE
ouent development work that will be
carried out that the improvements VIII
represent an outlay of something like
100000.
Fifteen men will be put to work
within a few days extending the tun-
mel a distance of 400 feet, which will
make it 500 feet in length, following
the ledge all the distance. The present
terminus of the tunnel gives a depth OF
$50 feet on the ledge and the compile
ton of an addition of 400 feet viii
give a depth of approximately 0 feet.
Crosscuts from this work will be run at
Intervals of every fifty feet. rhe ledge
which has been followed with the tun-
mel is IA feet wide and averages 500
to the ton. w. A. Stevens, discussing
the values of the ledge this week stated
that he at first considered $50 a high
average for the ledge, but careful
sampling through the tunnel has estab'
lished the fact that it will run upwards
of $50. The company's shaft from the
top of the ledge which is down loo
feet will be extended on down to the
tunnel a distance of $50 feet and cross
Icuts run from various levels for the
purpose of thoroughly exploring the ore
body. The tunnel is on the Lucky MAJ
claim,

MANHATTAN LOOKS GOOD

E. E. Stuart, a well known mining
engineer, who has been in Southern
Nevada for the past year and a half re-
turned Sunday from a visit to Manhat-
tan where he looked over the new
camp. Mr.. Stuart planned the n.y.
draulic work for the $4,000 horsepower
electric plant at American Falls, Idaho,
and has been engaged in the mining
sections for the past two decades.
Manhattan has assuredly a great
future" said Mr.. Stuart, Though /
did not see anything there to attract
people from as good a section as this Is.
Manhattan is a good district and some
great surface finds have been made, but
taken all in all there is nothing at Man
mattan that will prove attractive to
those who are acquainted with the con
ditions in this district, and who view
Manhattan from a comparative point
of view. OF course many go on the
principle that new pastures are the
greenest, but the permaneney of the
Manhattan district has not been prov
en-. There are a number of shafts down
so feet, but the development work thus
far is yet in its infancy and the ore
that has been shipped has been taken
out of the ground from very close to
the surface, but it may be said that the
district looks good for mining of a per-
manent character. The town is grow.
ing rapidly and a great many people
from Tonopah have rushed in and the
country has been pretty well staked of
by people from that seetion.'

OPEN UP

In the course of developing a num-
Der of claims at Pigeon Springs, owned
,by T. w. Webb and DIR. Croxall of this
city, an S-foot lead of molybdenite was
recently encountered. Samples of the
find were brought into Goldield by Mr..
Webb early this week and assays made
which indicate that the rock contains
about Is per cent of the metal men
toned. Arrangements are being made
to develop the strike and if values hold
permanently a plant of machinery is
to be installed after a depth of so feet
is gained.

SALE OF ToKoP-KEYsroNE

A. H. Mckay and Thomas Kearns
left this week for Pittsburg where they
expect to close a deal for the sale of i
control of the stock of the Tokop-Kev-
stone Mining and Milling company.
The partise who are to take over the
property are Plttsburg bankers, whose
attention has been attracted to this
section by the success other Pittsburg
monied men have met with in their
mining investments in this section.
Further development on the properties
of the company will be pushed on en-
aggressive and extensive scale.

Ida QUEEN SHIPMENT

Two hundred sacks containing ore
valued at 800 in gold TO the ton went
out Saturday from the Ida Queen
mine at Ida to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company at Tonopah. This is
the first consignment TO go out since
the mine reverted from the hands If
lessees into that of the company, and
it is understood is to be followed by
others at regular intervals.

TIMBERING SHAFT

Preparations are being made By the
Nevada Leasing company to sink the
shaft on its Florence lease from tie
100 to the 200-foot level, and to that
end the shaft is being timbered and a
new within has been installed. The
shaft lowering is to be done by con.
tract and Immediately following its
completion the ground is to be crosscut
and proved up at that depth.

ON the Cornishman claim of the Flor
enee estate the ledge was tapped a few
days ago and under development is pre-
senting many characteristics similar to
those which prevail in the company s
main workings. The vein shows con-
siderable quartz and a large per cent
of iron and gives evidences of making
into ore. AS soon as it has been inter
sected drifts will be run out in search
of a pay shoot.

BUCKSKIN LEASE

Shaft sinking IS being prosecuted 1T
the Buckskin lease on the Silver Pick
under very encouraging conditions and
Is to be followed shortly by the run
ming out of crosscuts and the proving
rp of ground at depth. The holding is
being operated by the Buckskin Gold
Mining company. A number of string
ers to the main lead have been cut on
which excellent paintings and $
are secured and at the 50-foot point II
crosscut is to be run out to the main
ledge. As soon as it has been tapped
and intersected drifts are to be run
both ways on it's strike in search of pay
shoots.

rRENCHING ON LEASE

Phil Pimantal and partners, leasing
on Mohawk acreage are engaged i'll
surface trenching for the ledge and
upon locating a favorable spot upon i.
will begin the work of sinking. The
shaft is to be lowered to a depth Ut
100 feet before any attempt is made to
drift on the lead. The Pimantal lease
was recently acquired. 1t adjoins the
Jumbo on the west.

lie holiday and severe weather in
terferred somewhat with operations
among the leasers on the Silver Pick
ground, but with the first of the year
there wa a renewal all along the line
of active and aggressive work. A num-
Der of the leasers who went to distant
points to spend Christmas are back
and the weeks work resulted in con-
siderable progress among all of those
who have concessions on the acreage.
On the Cormaek lease a 12-foot drift
was run this week from the bottom 4
the 50-foot shaft and six feet of ore
opened which averages 5000 per ton.
AS work progresses it is expected that
these values will increase. 1t is be-
lieved by the operators that the vein
they are now working is the same
which January Jones has on his lease,
some 500 feet away. Its general course
seems to indicate this, and the char
acter of the formation lends consider
able color to this theory.
At tho bottom a 15-foot shaft on the
Sheerer lease assay values of from 30
to $50 have been secured on a vein that
is presumed to be the same as that be-
ing worked on the Cormack ground.
The first of the. week work was
started on a shaft on the block under
lease to the Anchor Gold Mining COM
pany, but was somewhat interrupted ov
the weather, as it was much of the
time too cold to work on top. The work
up to the first of the year had been
confined to trenching.

IA the crosscut run out from the bot
tom of the 95-foot shaft on the Finn
lease of Atlanta ground is extended,
the evidences of the approach to the
LEDGE. winch at surface returned gold
values as high as sos per ton, are he.
coming more pronounced. The country
rock has for sometime past beer neav-
ily impregnated with pyrites ana ior
the last few feet the condition has be-
come even more noticeable, A good
bit of vein matter, broken and soft, IS
showing. and il would not be surprising
if the main ore body was reached with
anv round of shots now. The present
length of the cut is 40 feet.
On blocks 5 and 6 a fine looking ledge
4 feet in width has been encountered
at surface this week. Paintings denote
the presence of mill grade ore n II IS
the intention to search for shipping
grade at depth. The vein matter is a
falcv quartz, soft and gritty, but show
ing much oxidation, some evidences OF
~pyrites and considerable iron stain. II
was found entirely by accident while
seeking at surface a ledge cut IN a
tunnel. The showing is by far the
hest ever made by the operators of the
blocks and it is their purpose to sing q
shaft and prove it up at a depth OF %
and 100 feet.
Excellent time is bling made in driv-
ing the drift to the vein from the 70
foot level on the Sweeney lease on the
Atlanta, better known as the smith
lease. A number or stringers ave
been encountered recently and in each
instance very encouraging paintings
and assays secured. A number OF
.ledges traverse the block which at sur
face prospect well and it is thought
that they will hold pay grade when
tapped below. Most of the work thus
far done on the block has been by con-
tract and it is understood the same
policy of operation is to continue until
such time as the vein system is entered.
1t is also the purpose to lower the SHAFT
another so .eet and once more explore
the ground.

NEW LEASE

A block of Mohawk ground has been
secured under lease by Lord brothers,
two we'll known mining men, who PR
pose to demonstrate its value at depth
by the sinking of a shaft a distance Of
200 feet, that in turn to be followed by
systematic exploration of the vein sys-
ten. They now have a force of mine 5
engaged in running open cuts for the
purpose of locating the ledge and as
soon as it is found and prospected 4
shaft will be started. The holding at

Gently on the Golden and Davis lease
on the Great Bend No. 2 at Diamond
field. At surface values running from
So to $50 in gold to the ton are being

GOLD WEDGE LEDGE

At a depth of 40 feet on the Jones q
Co. lease on the Gold Wedge a very
promising vein has been encountered
and is being developed under condi-
tions which indicate that it contains
pay values in shipping quantities. As
say returns as high as $12 to the ton
were secured when the ledg" was first
tappen an they are increasing slightly
as it is worked. The Jones lease adj
joins the H~igginson holding on the
south and it is thought that the recent
find is a continuation of the lead open
ed therein.

LEDGE STILL WITH THEM

Within a short time now the shaft
on the Higginson lease on the Mohawk
will be down a distance of so feet and
at that point prosecuting and drifting
is to be taken up. The shaft is fol-
lowing the dip of the ledge and each
days development is enhancing the
chances for the finding of pay ore N
quantity and place. The vein is be.
coming more compact, more oxidized,
more mineralized and more generally
indicative of worth as depth is gained
and gold values, while as yet nominal,
are increasing somewhat. Little in the
way of development is to be done 1t
the 50-foot point other than is incl
dental to testing the ledge for perma-
nent values and no attempt along
proving up lines will be made above
the 100-foot mark. There, however, it
is the purpose to thoroughly explore
the ground and the lessee is firmly con-
WINGED that shipping ore will follow
his operations at the lower depth
stated.

PROSPECTING DEW DROP

A number Of surface trenches are be
ing run on the Dtw Drop claim located
between Columbia and Golafeld and in
one of them a small s!iihger has been
cut that gives indications of making
into pay ore with depth. The quartz is
well oxidized and contains considerable
iron. Plans are being made to sink .
shaft on the ledge to a depth of so feet
and to then extend a drift along its
strike in search of a shoot. The prop
erty is owned by George Pheaix.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-01-05
VALUES ARE

A very appreciable change is notice
able in the dip of the ledge being fol-
lowed by Mcintosh and Meyers in their
shaft on the Mohawk. The vein has
been with the ~lessees right from grass
roots, but at a depth of As feet it has
taken a sudden dip to the south from
an almost vertical position, although
the angle is not sufficiently acute TO
prevent its being followed without
much difficulty. That is to be the
course of procedure until the 60-foot
point is reached when a drift is to be
run along it's strike. Values have IN
creased with frequent regularity as the
shaft has been lowered and from a few
dollars at grass roots now rule strong
at about $40 to the tor The ledge has
also widened out and hardened up very
materially and gives every appearance
of holding shipping grade at addi-
tional depth. 1t is the ~lessees opinion
that they will find the pay shoot at the
60-foot point, but if they do not they
will lower the shaft an additional 40
feet and once more explore the trend If
the vein with a like object.

MILL FOR

Reports from Masonic indicate that
the camp is to have a stamp mill in the
near future, it's location to be at the
Liberty mine. J.. NJ. Bryan, owner of
the property, is now in San Francisco
for the purpose of arranging for its
shipment and expects to have it IN
operation within 90 days. The Liberty
has a large production of low grade
