The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-12-07
DELAY BUT TEMPORARY

Announcement is made that the delay
in the completion of the plant of the
Nevada Milling & Ore Purchasing COM
pany occasioned by the present money
stringency is to be Immediately OBJ
! rated by the arrival OF funds. Further
announcement is to the effect that the
primal run on ore will be made not later
than the second week in December. The
first ore to be treated will not come
from the w~olftone mine, as was at first
the plan, but will be product from lessee
dumps on the Union No. 9. A large ton
mage of high grade milling quartz was
! mined on that claim in the early days
Of the camp and 1t is at last to find a
market. The ore is to be trammed d.
rect from the dumps to the receiving
bins at the mill. The initial run will be
on ore from the lease formerly worked
by Dick Raycraft.
PLANT n PLACE
Development of the Rose-Nash lease
is being furthered to better advantage
now that the 25-horse power gasoline
hoist is in operation. A dozen miners
divided into three shifts are to be en-
ployed. The shaft is to be sunk to 9
depth Of lis feet and at that point a
crosscut be run over to contact with the
ledge of mill grade ore opened up at the
s5-foot level. 1t is anticipated that the
objective point will be reached before
Christmas.
P1oNEEE xEAsIMc
Drifts are being extended in both d.
r~ections at the 70-foot level of the
Pioneer Leasing & Mining c~ompany's
block on the Turtle Dove claim. The ore
body is showing better than 4 feet and
is commercial product just as broken
from the ledge. A considerable ton
mage of sacked quartz is piled up At
surface and a much larger tonnage is
blocked out in min workings. The lease
is to be equipped with a hosting plant.
GASOLINE HOIST
An 1S-horse power gasoline hoist re-
Gently went into commission at the
Riggs-O'Brien lease preparatory to de-
velopment of the block at depth. The
deepest point in the workings is a winze.
The ore in It's bottom. a depth of IS feet
from surface, is reputed to be milling
grade.

Encouraged by assay returns from the

Mining Is surface prospecting
it's acreage preparatory to the Inaugural
ton of an extensive campaign Of devel-
opment. As soon as a suitable site is
selected a deep main working a is to
be sunk and exploration of the ledge
system taken up at a point well within
the confines Of the permanent ore zone.
The property is located west of Central

capital.
1ExEwAx or ACTIVITY
The acreage of the Manhattan Crown
Point Mining company is the scene OF q
renewal of mining activity. The estate
is located in the same section as the In
dependence Consolidated, the Memo and
the Giant and presents favorable min
eral indications at surface and nominal
depth. Development is being prosecuted
by means Of a tunnel and a shaft. The
control Of Crown Point shares is held
by the same syndicate owning Junction
ground.
TIE sEA1cxxxaKr
Within 10 feet from surface a promis-
ing ledge has been opened up on the
S%earchlight claim and Is to be developed
as soon as the money barons loosen
their clutch on the peoples money. The
lies west of the Mustang and
Thanksgiving.
9ECU1E LEASE
Planmez and Smith have secured the
lease on Union No. 9 formerly operated
by Sinclair and Cole. They are explor-
ing a well mineralized ledge which occa-
sionally yields encouraging assays. 1t
is stated that nicked samples assay In
excess of 800 the ton. The average
grade OF the deposit is. however. below
profitable milling grade.
