ing of free gold In the new shaft on the
Starlight group. owned By himself and
Messrs. Bond. Marks and Hancock
The shaft Is down IS feet. penetrating
the ledge. and pans a few dollars to the
ton in gold from the surface down. Joe
says that "she is looking good The
shaft is being sunk on Starlight No. 3
and a crosscut is being run on the Star
light claim
Mr.. Gaut and associates also located
the Starlight Nos. 4. 5. s and Z. and
Moonlight Nos. l and 2. which claims
are now a part of the estate of the May
flower Consolidated The new shaft Is
going down at a point about 1900 feet
northwest of the original Starlight
strike. which has proved richer at the
same stage of development than the
Mayfiower workings.
Herman Call. who is working a short
distance west of Gaut's camp. is also
taking out some fine panning ore. the
shaft having reached a depth of so feet.
Mr.. Call is saving the best of the ore
and says that he will ship five tons for
testing.
The development of the Mayfiower
and other properties in that section of
the Builfrog district has shown that
surface values are invariably insignif-
cant. but that a steady Improvement OBJ
tains at depth.

J. p. Burns has SUM a 20-foot shaft
on the Capricorn group near the Cali
fornia Bullfrog property. across the VAL
ley from Rhyolite. The vein on. the sur
face was from IA to 1s inches wide and
has held its own as depth was gained.
Samples taken showed 5 per cent copper
and $5S in silver to the ton. He recently
found a 1l-inch vein following the orig
inal lead. which also carried values. Mr..
Burns is negotiating with parties who
are figuring on taking over the group
and organizing a company for its devel-
opment.

Diamond Queen property near Beatty,
made a visit to that property last FRI

he had assayed by N. NJ. Simons. One
sample ran s2S6.40 and another s127.6O.
These samples were taken from a new
vein two feet wide. which was recently
broken into. Mr.. Tisdale says they are
sacking the ore as it is taken out,
about forty sacks had been filled when
he was there. and considerable more was
on the dump. The property is being
worked by leasers, and promises to do
a whole lot toward stimulating the min

mountains.
