The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1906-07-14

This property comprises the following well known claims situated
in the heart of the famous Round Mountain Mining District: Edith,
Black Hawk, Extension, Extension No. 2, Blue Jay, Blue Jay No. 2,
and Lost Mine.
The richest vein of gold ore yet opened up in that camp of sensa-
tional values was discovered on the Edith claim OF the Round Noun
tain Red Top Mining Company. From the Edith ledge have also been
taken some Of the richest specimens of gold-bearing rock ever mined.
The Edith claim adjoins and side lines the Antelope claim of the
Round Mountain Antelope Mining Company, from which the richest
kind of ore is being shipped, and the vein from which it is taken passes
through the Edith claim into Antelope ground.
Development work is being prosecuted with vigor on the Round
Mountain Red Top Mining Company's property with a large force of
miners. The ore bodies ar being Systematically explored and blocked
out-the high grade extracted being sacked. An accumulation of the
latter, which has been taken out during the progress of development
work and which runs into very high values, will shortly be shipped to
the smelter.
The following assay was recently made by Assayer A. Ira Renck,
of Tonopah, New, of ore taken from the Edith claim across two feet Of
the vein: Gold, 2s261 ounces per ton; silver, 9S10 ounces. Gold
value per ton, 1852 20; silver, $654 40. Total value per ton, So, 717.8O.
On the Black Hawk claim of the company, a big ledge of milling
ore has been uncovered. The Black Hawk claim adjdns the Sunny
side No. 1 claim of the Round Mountain Mining Company on which
the original strike was made. The latter property was recently pur-
chased by Davis, Lotus and associates, the successful Goldfeld oper-
ators under whose management the Sandstone, Gold Bar, Nevada
Hills, and other famous properties became rich producers. On the
Sunnyside claim, with but two months of development work, three
quarters of a million dollars worth of milling ore have been uncovered,
to treat which the Round Mountain company has ordered a mill that
will be installed within sixty days. A large output for many years to
come is now assured by the ore bodies already in sight.
The Black Hawk claim of the Red Top company is but 400 feet
from the original discovery on the Sunnyside claim. The immense ore
body already proved up on the sunnyside undoubtedly extends into
Black Hawk ground, and it is thought that the big ledge now uncov-
cred on the latter is identical with that of the Sunnyside.
A cabinet of specimens recently taken from the workings on the
Sunnyside No. l is being exhibited throughout the east at the present
time, and is probably the finest collection of free gold rock ever placed
on exhibition.
All of the ore so far discovered is free milling, and aside from the
sensationally high values of the shipping ore that has been found on
the property of the Round Mountain Red Top Mining Company, there
is almost an unlimited amount of splendid milling values on the prop
erty. Development work already accomplished in two short months
has established Round Mountain as one of the greatest free milling
camps in the state. Immense bodies of milling orr are being opened
up, and it may now be safely predicted that the ore bodies already un-
covered and proven will provide an output for at least the next fifteen
years. This is all the more remarkable when it is remembered that
the camp is barely three months old and that comparatively few Of
