Sulphide ore running 1000 TO the

ately, the mine was compelled to close
down on account of labor troubles the
following day and there is no means of
learning the extent of the strike. 1t is
significantly. however, that on the level
there was strike of oxidized orc that
ran from $50 10 $1,000 TO the ton.
1t is generally believed that the Gold

to the Little Florence. The Gold Bar
lead is one of the largest and strongest
in the camp. The quartz itself does
not carry very high values. but tho
filling is the matrix of the values. Ow-

A pzo,us1na LEASE

The Red King lease is one Of those
that are almost certain of coming into
the shipping class within few weeks.
1t is but 100 feet from the Little Flor
ence ground to that of the Red King.
The latter lies due south of the Little
Florence and this is the trend of the
ledge. On two sides the Red King is
adjoined by the Pollard Florence and
Review leases, which are being exploited
as rapidly as hoists can bring rock to
the surface. The shaft in the Red King,
which is a listed security and shows
increasing strength, is now down $50
feet and a crosscut is being run to the
westward in order to catch the ledge on
it's easterly dip. something which may
be accomplished by the shaft itselr
after it has gained another hundred feet
of depth. The life of the lease has been
extended until the first of next January.

LIME LIGHT
SHINING ON.
HIGGINSON

Another vein of high grade ore was
struck during the morning shift yester-
day in the Higginson lease on Jumbo
Extension ground The ore is light
colored quartz and tale, containing a
slight quantity of sulphides. The val
ues were not suspected until small
pan Of crushed ore showed consider
able quantity OF gold. Assays have
not been made of the ore, but num-
ber of paintings prove that the entire
vein is shipping ore of the first grade.
Developments on the vein encount-
cred several weeks ago show that. while
extensive, it will not average much bet
ter than $40 to the ton, while all that
is being taken from the new vein is in
the "ore sack class.
The high grade was first encountered
in an inch streak that formed gouge
around a horse in the ledge, fifty
feet from the shaft on the 23O foot level.
The horse was cut through and back
Of it was a high grade streak a foot
wide, following the hanging wall. The
main body of milling ore extends sew
eral feet below this streak. Develop
ment work evidences that the lead is
steadily widening.
Friday is a lucky day with the Hig-
ginson people. The original location
was on Friday. Work was started on
Friday. The ledge was struck on Fri
day and the high grade ore body was
also found on the sixth day of the

WORK on MOHAWK Elk.

Although hindered for the past week
by lack of timbers, the shaft in the Mo-

255 feet. There are now sufficient tim
bers on the ground to go to the 300-foot
point. The company is working three
shifts and is making rapid progress. Al
800 feet drifts and crosscuts will be run
to pick up the IshSheets lead and the
ledge that comes into the property from
the Mohawk Consolidated. There is
good reason TO believe that there will be
a juncture of these two leads in the
property.

toned to the company. which wants
more and wants them quickly. However,
in the absence of cars, the ore is being

RICHES OF
MIDAS ARE
UNCOVERED
FIOrencs Mining and Leasing Co
Opens Upa Body of Bonanza
Ore at Three Hundred
and Eighty Five Feet

The long awaited succession of strikes
that were to make of Goldfeld the
greatest mining camp of this or other
times, has at last arrived. Almost SIM
ultaneously with the announcement that
the Robinson & vickers' Little Flor
ence lease and the Mohawk Con. had
struck bonanza ore bodies. comes abso-
Lutte assurance that the Florence Leas-
ing and Mining company stockholders
have entered into their reward.
Ninety feet from the 3S5-foot level
of the shaft, drifting in a northerly
direction, ore was encountered on the
11th. 1t was a narrow seam and it
returned scarcely shipping values, but 1t
steadily grew in size and richness. Even
now the workings do not display foot
wall.
Assays taken Friday revealed TIE
following tremendous values: across
thirty inches, 1907: across twenty in
ches, $1,797; across eight inches, $10,-
156.
This is one of the most magnificent
showings ever made by a mine, especi-
ally as there was no attempt to secure
specimens, but an honest sampling
across the distances mentioned was
made If Mr.. Argersinger had desired,
he could have gotten returns up to six
figures. for free gold in big nuggets
is visible, while tellurium is to be
found in almost solid chunks. similar
to that in the Hayes & Monnette lease
in the Mohawk. but in a wider seam.
Mr.. Argersinger is secretary and
resident manager of the company. He
has spared no money in developing this
property, which evidences the most
faithful of management. At the 2S5-
foot point he cut the apex of the same
vein encountered this week and shipped
400 tons. but at that point it was not
nearly so rich as in the lower level.
1t is his intention to rush a winze and
upraise to connecting point and stope
out the ore body, meanwhile hurrying
the shaft down another hundred feet
to where the ore shoot is probably richer
and larger. At all events the holders
of Florence Leasing and Mining stock
are assured of ample dividends.
Twenty-nine sacks of ore from the
rich streak. aggregating ton and a
half and valued at $4,000, were placed
in the vault of the sub-State Bank and
Trust company yesterday afternoon.

BIG BODY OF
suLPHIDE ORE FOUND

A ledge As feet wide, carrying copper
values ranging from to 20 per cent.
with an average value Of 10 per cent,
has been cut in the 300-foot level of the
Spragg mine in Mason valley.
This news was brought to Goldfeld
by Thos. Robinson. Jack Sweeney, Mar
win Ish, Joe Carey, Claud Lund and
FLOYD Knicllerbocker, who returned this
week from visit to that canap. Mr..
Robinson says that the values are en-
tirely in the sulphides, which speaks
well for the property, as the other mines
in the district have thus far de yeloped
little besides oai [ onates.
