Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-09-08

A few days ago the miners working
on the Frances-Mohawk lease cut into a
crosslead in the fae of the southeast
drift, which gave values of 1896. The
next shift entered an ore body which
returned S440, the third $500, the
fourth S727, thefifth 81, 461, sixth 81, $3.50
and values running to 50, LAT were found
at the junction of a crosslead from the
Combination and which joins a dyke in
a drift 65 feet east of the shaft at the
220 level and 1870 feet from the Com
bination Fraction line. The company is
shipping three cars every other day.
The last returns from a shipment
showed that the ore averaged $16l per
ton, and as the ore is becoming better
with each shift, the ~leasers are feeling
very much encouraged. They have
begun sacking the $4,000 ore and from
now on will make an effort to ship two
cars daily.
Messrs. Pennington and Kalfus who
have a lease on the Velvet property,
are rejoicing over the showings recently
made and if conditions continue to i'm
prove as they have the past few days,
it is likely that another shipper will be
added to the district. At the bottom of
the 60-foot shaft a very strong ledge
was encountered. The values thus far
are only of a milling grade but it is be-
lieved that with further depth they will
develop into a shipping grade. The ore
is identical with that found in the leases
on the Mohawk. A whim is to be in
stalled at once and the shaft will be
sunk to the 200 foot level.
Messrs. Gordon and Mackay, who are
operating a lease on the Frisco Gold
field Mining company's ground in the
eastern part of the district, are very
much encouraged at the recent show
ings in their property. In the breast
of the crosscut, which has been driver
in for a distance of 27 feet a very strong
ledge was recently cut. The ledge
matter shows a porphyretic quartz anC
carries values running from Sc to $18
The ~crosscut will be continued to tn,
main dyke, and it is believed that whel
this point is reached better values will
be found.
Charley Krise and associate VIII
recently acquired a block of ground OIL
the west end of the Daisy property il
the Diamondfield section, have starte'
active development work. The shat
has reached the depth of Ia feet On tn
ledge and at this point very Il a value
have been uncovered. The new gaso
line hosting plant will soon be in oper
alton and the shaft will be sunk to tn
200 foot point without delay. Whe
the lower level is reached it is propose
to carry out a thorough and systemati
course of development work.
Manager G. R. Potter of the Nor
cross Mining company, received a wiz
the fore part of the week that the new
25 h. p. electric hosting plant had bee
shipped. This makes the third plan
ordered for this property, the tw
others having been destroyed, M i
the San Francisco earthquake, and on
in a wreck near Denver. AS soon a
the new machinery arrives no time wi
be lost in putting it in place and tn
work of development rushed.
The Driscoll lease on the VelvetproI
erty is in line to be added to the list {
Goldield's regular shippers. This leas
has been extensively developed frol
the 100 foot level and the work, whiC
was taken up where the old leasel
