Goldield Review: So far as vigorous
activity Is concerned, honors are about
evenly divided the past week as between
the Diamondfeld section and what will
be known as the Florence ground. In
speaking of the Florence, however, it
must not be understood that all of the
action of the district is confined to that
immediate ground, but includes those
bordering. From the first lease on the
Florence out through that property, on
the Rustler Fraction of the Consolidated,
the Red Hills and over to the C. o. D.,
there is evidenced on the part of every
leaser a feverish anxiety to get down,
down to the values which are almost GER
tain to come with development.
The Florence Extension company has
secured a small piece of ground on the
Rustler Fraction which directly adjoins
shaft No. and is now engaged in sink
ing the third shaft for the corporation.
A new lease, to be known as the Barnes,
has been granted on the Rustler and is
going down with the aid of windlass.
Over on the Golconda, outside of the sew
eral leases which have recently started
there, the Goldfeld Liverpool is putting
up a new gallows frame, one of the
largest in the district, further evidence
of their confidence in the locality which
they have selected above all others as
are seeking.
Three Shifts .Iorking
On the Red Hills all of the leases and
the main company are working full blast.
The Troughs Mining and Leasing COM
pany, which has the lease next adjoining
the company shaft is working three
shifts, and a change in the formation the
early part of the week leads the manage
ment to the belief that they are about
to encounter good values. The company
shaft is going ahead rapidly since the
installation of the new plant, and will
probably have something to show inside
of the next few weeks. The Red Hills
Mining and Leasing company has some
good looking quartz at the bottom of the
shaft and is drifting on a ledge which
holds out flattering prospects.
On the Florence the Aurelia is making
record Roadway, Although the new COM
pany, which is composed of Chicago capt.
talists largely, has had hold but a lit
tie over month, there has been dis
played a desire to do things" which
BODIES good financial returns for the
future. The shaft, fine two-compart-
ment affair is down 275 feet and is still
sinking. A station has been cut at the
255 and a crosscut is being made to the
northwest, where good values are uncov-
cred. At the 1926 another station will be
placed and then the shaft will go down
to the 400 Three shifts of men are en-
ployed and a fine equipment is in opera
ton, including a 80 horsepower hoist.
The Syndicate lease, formerly known as
the Rogers. which is located on the Flor
ence ground. came into some real ore at
the 300 which goes from $50 to as high as
$500 to the ton. The Florence Extension
also opened some good ore on their No.
shaft which runs to 500 and over to the
ton.
The Wonderland Mining and Leasing
company, which now has three shafts in
operation, thinks very highly of the one
on the C. o. D. ground which is down
now over 100 feet and still sinking. The
new gallows frame and hoist which has
been ordered will be installed shortly and
then more rapid progress will be made. A
ledge was encountered just before coming
to the 100 which gave returns as high as
$72 to the ton, and force of men is now
drifting on the vein.
On the Golconda the Golconda Mining
and Leasing company lease on block
has a shaft down forty feet and a new
mechanical equipment has another shaft
down fifty feet on the same ground and
will also place hoist in operation
shortly.
Out on the Atlanta a beehive of indus
try is in evidence. The hill on all sides
is dotted with gallows frames, reminding
one somewhat of a Pennsylvania oil field,
and there is every indication that sub
stantial results will reward the efforts of
these leasers. On the Atlanta Cherokee
a force of men is going down and more
are drifting on the ledge which was
passed at a higher level but which has
again been encountered. On the Imperial
and the Boom development work is the
order of the day, with tangible results in
sight.
On the Jumbo Extension the Poleverde
claim is the scene of a great deal of
work. The Jumbo Extension Mining and
Leasing company and the Jumbo Wonder
are both after the ore and with good pos
sibilities.
The Higginson is still shipping plenty
of good ore. running some Of 1t as high
as $500 to the ton. The Mohawk Ledge
has $40 ore on the 80 level. The Sheets
Ish still continues with their record
breaking policy and there is reason to be-
lieve that with the expiration of the
lease it will be found that they have
beaten the records of all the old timers,
such as the Hayes-Monnette, Reilly, etc.
