GoLDFlELD, New, Oct. 13-The recent
a.. to ~, oau strike mas caused some quietness
IA the camp except so far as the feelings
OF the inhabitants are concerned. pro-
VISIONS became scarce, but the rich ore Is
mere just as plentiful as before.
Artnur Magu1re, chief engineer of the
Las Vegas & Tonopah railroad, now
ouiluins INTO this district, has announced
oGtoper 70 as railroad day for Goldheld.
indications are that one of the most
unique and stirring celebrations of it's
kind ever held in the country will be
pulled off right out here on the desert
SANDS. The event will mark another
epoch in the growth of the peerless gold
camp and show the world that progress
and riches belong to Goldneld IL they
never belonged to any other locality on
the globe.

ing shaft down to depth OF at least 700
feet Connections will be made this
week with the old incline shaft.
HcdvieSt shipper
The Mohawk Jumbo is maintaining it's
posltion as the heaviest shipper among
the leasers of the district, the average
daily output now being between 100 and
15O tons. Most of the ore that is being
shipped from the lease now is being taken
from the 400-foot level and there is
plenty in sight to keep the miners busy
for an Indefinite period. The work of
opening up the 500-foot level is progress
ing rapidly and the ore body is even
larger than on the upper levels.
A. A. Heer, the assistant secretary of
the Little Florence Mining company,
brought his family to GoldAeld several
weeks ago from Evanston, ILL.,, and an
nounced that he had come to stay. He
was after good lease and believes he
has found 1t on the Wild Cat claim of
the Lone Star on Vindicator mountain
A ledge Of quartz eighteen feet wide on
the surface, carrying nominal values in
gold, he considers good enough to pros
pect, and has started shaft, which is
now thirty-five feet deep. At 100 feet a
crosscut will be run to the ledge and
hoist will be installed II don't suppose
will ever get another ore shoot like the
Little Florence" said Heer, but 1 be-
ieve there are other bodies of good ore
In the Goldfield district and / know of
no ground which is more favorable than
the block 1 have secured"
Silver Bow
Good news is coming in all the time
from the Silver Bow country and it looks
as though this camp, which was dis
covered two years ago and Is located
forty miles northeast of here, would turn
out to be all right. If that is the case,
scores of Goldfeld investors will be
placed or easy street, as about all of
the ground in that camp is owned by men
who claim Goldfield as their home. The
latest story is that lessees on the Nc
Gonigal group of claims have broken into
rich body of ore. The find was made
at depth of sixty feet and assays have
been secured on the pay portion of the
vein that run as high as $3960 in gold
and over 1900 ounces in silver. This
high value was taken from picked
sample of the rock, but the lessees are
sacking ore that will run $500 ton from
the four-foot vein.
A fortune awaits the man or men who
will erect mill in the Silver Bow dis
trict to handle the lower grades of ore,
according to e. w. Girton, an old time
prospector who owns forty-two claims in
that section. Inere is a superabundance
of silver and gold ore in the district,
says Girton, but a great deal of 1t runs
only around $40 and $50 to the ton. AS II
costs $3.50 per ton to ship to the smelter
at Salt Lake, it is obvious that little
short of 500 rock can be made to pay
under the present circumstances. But
with a mill on the ground fortunes can
be reaped as the ore is there in unlim-
tied quantities.
