MIZPAH HAS
SHIPPING ORE AT SURFACE

Thousand dollar ore In the Nispahs
streaks and seams of II. nne. white
taicy ore. carrying ribbons OF almost
native silver. so pure that when polished
with a knife II giitters and shines with
the briliiancy of freshly coined metal.
That was the word that came into
camp Thursday afternoon from the
great bonanza property. There was no
mistaking the report. Proof of the dis
covery. which was made in the bottom
OF the shaft. now down 40 feet. was car
ried by a 25-pouEd specimen Of the tale
which ssas brought to camp. and which
IL now on exhibition In the Office Of the
Fairview Brokerage company. An ex-
animation of the workings discloses the
width Of this streak AZ being from is
inches to three feet. 1t lies In the bot
tom of the workings. running with the
strike Of the great Mixpah vein. and
about three feet above the foot-wall.
A piece OF this specimen. picked on
at random. was submitted to Jackson A.
Pearce for assaying. Thu certificate Of
assay. which was mad Thursday night.
gave the following results Gold value.
1910: silver value. ss7s.1s; total value.
ss1s.5s.
The sample which was assayed was
freely accepted as a fair average OF the
values carried by his streak OF tale.
In computing the value. silver was
taken at 60 cents an ounce. On these
bases. the Importance of the discovery
cannot be over-estimated.
Sacks have been ordered. and the work
of sacking this ore. as well as the high
grade quartz which lies alongside Of the
tale In the shaft will 60 steadily on
from this time. Engineers who have
examined the property. declare that
with the work at the present stage OF
development. being conducted under
some pronounced difficulties. tons of the
contents of this newest Jewel box can be
sacked every eight hours. In fact. II
begins to appear as though the Mixpah
will duplicate the record Of the great
Combination mine at Goidheld. which
paid for itself from the contents OF a
shallow glory-hole which was opened up
soon after the property first changed
hands.

lively, and bears out Mr.. Kennedy's an
nounced purpose to make a mine on the
property as soon as possible. Two shifts
are working in the shaft. which has
been sunk about 40 feet. For half of
this distance the shaft Is vertical. The
other haIf is on IN incline. going down
with the ore. nd II Is the intention of
Superintendent Cobb not to leave the ore
at any stage of the workings.
The bottom of the shaft Is on the foot
wall of the great ledge, which Is esti-
mated to have a width of not less than
IS feet. When a depth Of 80 feet shall
have been reached. a station will be cut.
and a crosscut will be driven to explore
the hanging wall. When this is done II
liz expected that even more sensational
values than have been disclosed to this
| time will be discovered, 1t being the his
tory In similar workings that the high
est Value are found or the hanging
wall. Should this prove true. the Mis-
pah will beat all the Fairview records.
as with the streak of fabulously rich
tale and IN enormous quantities of
quartz which MI the workings. the out
put OF the mine will be phenomenal.
