taken has been completed from the Gold
Bar road to the property. and everything
is being put in shape for continuous de-
.velopment.
EXTENSION TO
INSTALL PLANT MACHINERY
j. c. Mccormack OF Goldfeld, presi-
dent of the Montgomery Shoshone Ex-
tension, who is here this week with {.
W. C~laybourne, a heavy stakeholder IN
the found the showing so en-
c~ouraging at the property that he or
dered a hoisting plant at once. and has
decided to undertake greatly increased
~developmen operations. The order is
for a 25-h.p. gasoline hoist, and the
machinery is to be installed at the
earliest possible moment. The shaft is
now down 200 feet on the ore, and the
bottom shows assay returns as high as
500 to the ton in gold. 1t Will be sent
to the 500 without delay.
Among the other improvements con-
templated are a new shaft to be started
500 feet south of the present one on the
vein. a new shaft house built, a road
graded to the property. a switch put in
when the railroad gets here and water
pipe limo laid.
The acreage is situated on Montgom-
cry mountain. tho north line being ITO
feet from Schwab's Shoshone, the
quartz veins from which are said TO
trend through its entire length for a
distance OF 5000 feet. The ground Is
patented. Mr.. Mccormack says that the
treasury is in excellent shape for the
continuance of development and 1t is
the purpose of the management to
crowd the work and start shipping just
as soon as transportation facilities are
afforded by the arrival of the railroad.
Mr.. ~Claybourne made a very close in
ve~stigation of the workings and was
well pleased with the conditions he
found.
WILL SINK ANOTHER 100
FEET AT THE JUMPER
Development energy at the Bullfrog
Jumper is soon to be concentrated upon
further vertical exploration. The in
cline shaft which is now down 200 feet
will be sunk another 100 as soon as the
additional cable arrives for the whim.
At the 300-foot level it is the purpose
of the management to engage in extern
sive lateral work. The shaft, as has
been heretofore stated, follows a well
mineralized lead which has shown a
constant improvement with depth. No
phenomenal values have been encoun-
tered. but the material so far penetrated
is a talcose quartz. carrying a substan-
tial gold content with slight silver re-
turns.
For the time being work will be dis
continued in the north crosscut from
the 200 that sinking operations may be
FASTENED. The object of this crosscut
is to catch a big granite-rhyolite con-
tact appearing on the surface some 200
feet north of the present breast. This
point will be returned to later, but the
management deems 1t wise at this time
to more thoroughly explore the vein at
depth. While the big dyke referred to
gives promise of substantial mineraliza-
ton, the vein itself is known to be pro-
ductive of more immediate returns.
When the 300-foot point is reached in
the shaft it is understood to be the in
tention of the management to install
more powerful hosting machinery and
continue sinking in addition to the
lateral work outlined. Everything is
being finished with a view to perma-
nence. and the various workings show
system and miner-like execution.
DAISY GETS THE GOLD BAR LEDGE
The Daisy has encountered the Gold
Bar ledge at a depth of % feet in the
Side Hill shaft. which was recently
started 500 feet northeast of the main
shaft. A 25-h.p. hoist is to be installed
at the new shaft in a short time. The
old one is already equipped with a Is
hip. plant. The main shaft is now down
200 feet and a crosscut has been started
to catch the sulphide body which was
cut at a depth of 80 feet.
ICE HARRIS
Work has been resumed at the Lige
Harris under the direction of J.. A. Stew
enson. The ledge was cut at the 50-foot
level. and an average of IL feet gave a
return of s14 to the ton. The material
shows f~uorine. tale and sugar quartz.
A good force is being worked and it is
the purpose to forward development as
speedily as possible. The management
desires it stated that visitors will al
ways be welcomed to inspect the prop
erty.
ENCOUNTER GOOD ORE
Some excellent ore has been encoun-
ACltd at tiC lOoIAScihCiJ hCdiitdii- ~
winze has been started on a vein cut
last year at the 90-foot point in the
main tunnel. The vein shows a width
of IL feet. six of which is being taken
down by the WINE on the hanging wall
side. Eighteen inches on the hanging
is high grade material which will aver
age 500 to the ton, and the rest is good
milling ore.
sTEINwAY
The northeast crosscut from the 200
at the Steinway. is in IFS feet and is
still cutting through the dyke hereto
fore mentioned. Thirty feet of this DIS
lance is in the dyke material and the
naturalization Is of an encouraging ma
ture. The southwest crosscut is also
in the same distance. The spur from
the Clark road to the Shoshon7 Will
cross Steinway ground within zoo feet
of the shaft house. thus placing the
mines output to within easy access Of
transportation.
