The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-07-28

recently shipped 10 mill, winch pfONSu
so heavily laden with gold that its con-
tents clogged the meshes and could not
be forced through TO the matchmaking
tables. Later this gold glutted consign-
ment was forwarded to the selby smell
ter and was settled for by the smelter
people on a basis of $40 per pound.
At the johnson lease on the Daisy the
shaft is down 20 feet and at that nomi-
nal depth the ledge carries a 2-foot
streak Of phenomenally rich ore. A
drift is being sent out along its trend
and as fast as broken down the vein
matter is sacked for shipment. Every
pound of rock mined is shipping grade.
there is absolutely no waste coming
from the workings and the quartz is
sacked without recourse to sorting.
THE CoMBINATroE
Shipping ore is showing In three
places on the acreage of the Round
Mountain Combination Mining company
situated south and east of the estate of
the Round Mountain Mining company
and carrying 700 feet of the famous
Sunnyside ledge. The vein, where
opened, is 8 feet in width and is en-
cased in well defined walls. with sell
wages of tale. Assays well above pay
obtain across the entire ledge, but the
average gold grade is a trifie in excess
of $50 the ton.
E. II. Mead, a well known mining man,
formerly of Salt Lake City. is in charge
Of the property and is developing it in
miner fashion. After prosecuting ex-
haustive prospecting at surface which
resulted in the location of a well miner
allied vein system, he is preparing to
explore the acreage at depth and to
tina end is sinking a main working
shaft. The ultimate objective point is
a depth of 500 feet, but as the shaft is
lowered stations are to be cut and the
The greater development, however, is to
take place at the deeper point.
MAKE SECOND PAYMENT
The second payment on the Great
Western property in the Round Noun
tain section, amounting to $4,000, has
been made by Sol Camp and A. d. Nash,
the gentlemen who recently optioned
the estate from the original owners
Both are well pleased with the showing
at surface and nominal depth and feel
confident that they have secured a
money making proposition.
A number of leasers are engaged in
opening up various blocks on the acre
age and are meeting with encourage
ment in the way of veins and values.
They have mined quite a tonnage of
both shipping and mill grade ore and
will save the same until the advent of
stamping facilities.
THE CAHILL
On tho nrnnnrtu Of tho Pound ATo,tn-
tain Cahill a 2-foot ledge of silver bear
ing ore has been opened up at m
depth and arrangements are being made
to sink a deep main working shaft for
the purpose Of developing it. The find
is of more than ordinary moment as the
presence of the white metal is indicative
of the permanency of vein and values to
great depth. The acreage is traversed
by a number of granite dykes all of
which carry both gold and silver.
SURFACE PROSPECTING
Surface development of the acreage of
the Round Mountain Manhattan Gold
Mining company is proceeding under the
personal supervision of c.. A. Bennett of
Goldfeld, secretary of the company. A
large force of miners has been engaged
and no time is to be lost in prospecting
the lodges at grass roots and in sinking
a main working shaft.
GALLAGHER HOLDINGS
Adjoining the property Of the Cahill
company is the acreage Of P. J.. Gal
lagher and NJ. ". Regain, consisting of q
group of ten claims. A number of we'll
mineralized ~porphyry dykes cross the
acreage all of which show gold in the
free. Two of the claims adjoin the
Wolverine and carry a 20-foot ledge
which returns assays at surface as high
as $40 the ton,
SECURE CONTROL
The control of the Round Mountain
Extension Mining company was recently
sold to A. r.. Dearborn and A. 2 German
of Birmingham, Ala, for $50, 600. Asso-
ciated with the before mentioned gen.
tlemen in developing the property is a
syndicate of prominent Goldfeld mining
men. The acreage is locatai on the
north slope of Round Mountain in the
vicinity of the Round Moapta n Sphinx,
Round Mountain Mining and Great
Western estates. Surface prospecting
has been followed by the starting of a
main shaft which ia nOw down 65 feat
