In the GOIdfieId District
for Mining Shaft Work
As Shown By Report.
FIRST COMPLETE DATA
Ever Furnished As Leasers Do Not
Keep Accurate Account Of Ex-
penditures as Usual Thing.

Interesting indeed is the following
article on the cost of mining in the
Goldfield district, which appeared re-
Gently in the Engineering and Mining
Journal PERCY e. Barbour, the au-
thor, is well known mining engi-
neer of that district.
Very few data on mining costs in
Goldfield have ever been published,
probably for two reasons: Costs of
work by leasers We're not kept sys-
tematically and would have been of
little value, as time and not economy
was of first importance; systematic
work by owners has but just begun,
and it is almost too early to expect
costs to be given away.
The shaft, respecting which data
are here given, is located on the Daisy
property in the Diamondfield district
of Goldfeld. 1t was started by a
leaser and sunk to a depth of 102
feet, at a cost. as stated by him, of
$50 per foot. The next 100 feet,
sunk under my supervision, was ac-
complished in 81 2-3 days of three
s hour shifts each The first so feet
were comparatively easy ground to
work, 33 feet being accomplished the
first week. Then a new formation, a
hard black andesite, was encountered,
and l 8 feet was good weeks work.
The last week only 16 feet were
made 1t was necessary to increase
the round from to IA holes and
even then, to accomplish results, the
cut holes were fired and the muck
hoisted before the other holes were
shot.
The shaft was AXIS feet in the clear,
timbered. with square shaft sets of
6XS inch timbers, 5 feet 6 inch CEN
ters. Dividers and posts were of 6x6
inch and guides of AKA inch material.
The shaft was Jagged throughout with
2 inch plank. Each set required the
following timber:

GOLDFIELD MINES PAY $4,000
TAXES IN NINE MONTHS

The report of James II. Nevin,
state bullion tax collector, shows
that the mines of the Goldiield dis
trict will have to pay the sum of
$197, s40.23 in taxes for the nina
months OF 1907 ending on Septem-
Der 80 The tax is on the net receipts
of ores shipped, and is at the rate of
Al per cent. Three fourths of one
per cent of the tax goes to the state
and the balance to the county.
Mr.. Nevin states that the gross
value of the gold and silver produc-
ton of the state for the year will be
in the neighborhood of $25, 900,
a splendid showing considering the
time lost by labor troubles and sus-
pension of smelter shipments owing
to lack Of prompt settlements. He
estimates that Goldfield will produce
half of the $25,000,000 this year,
and that next year it will produce as
much as the entire state for 1907.
He looks for Nevada to be at the
head of the gold producing states in
1908

GENERAL FREDERICK FUNSTON
AS \ NEVADA PROSPECTOR

General Frederick Funston, Little
Fred, who is in charge of the United
States troops at Goldfield, is no
stranger to southern Nevada. Seven
teen years ago, long before there was
a Tonopah or Goldfield, Funston was
prospecting in the Ash Meadows coun-
try. He has experience that would
make the average desert rat turn
pale. Not only were these expert
