GOLDFIELD, New, Oct. Gore that
averages better than $1,000 ton is being
shipped from the Codd lease on the st.
Ives. The lease Is being worked by the
St Ives Mining and Leasing company and
has been in shipping ore for long time,
but this is the first strike of real high
grade that has been encountered in the
workings. The vein is only six inches
wide, but 1t may widen out with depth.
and the management is more than salts
fed with the possibilities of the find.
Some OF the ore runs more than $1,000
ton. but the entire six inches will go well
over the $1,000 mark.
The Mohawk shaft Is to be dropped
down to the deep; on the 45D-foot level
a hoist is installed and sinking will be
continued until the 1000-foot level Is
reached.
The Mohawk is probably the greatest
gold mine in the world in the Mohawk.
the Combination and the Red Top the
Consolidated Mines company has trio
of world beaters, and the Jumbo and
Laguna within six months will add to
the output to great extent.
Immense Values
The Little Florence lease on the Red
King claim of the Florence has blocked
out between the 800 and 400 foot levels
5000 tons of ore worth $500 ton, an ag- |
gregate value of s1,00G,000. The company !
is sinking a vertical shaft from the top
Of the mountain which will tap the rich
ore shoot 100 feet below the deepest level
Of the mine. The shaft is to be completed
by the goth day of October, and its two
compartments will be used exclusively
for the hosting of ore. The lease runs
until the 9Th day of February, 1908, and
will make a record for the camp.
George j. Wilson Of Philadelphia, OF
the firm of Newport & Wilson Of that
city. has arrived in Goldfield from the
east, bringing capital with which to fur
Their development work on the Goldfeld
Horseshoe, which Is considered by min
ing men to be one of the best located |
properties in the eastern section OF the
Goldfeld district. The company will In
stall a modern plant and development
work will be pushed as rapidly as possible
under competent supervision, which will
insure to the company capable and
economical management. No effort will
be spared to exploit the remarkable sur
face showings on this estate.
The property adjoins the Rochester and
Panyan mines. Recent strikes made on
these properties In the eastern section OF
the district have caused renewed activity |
In the development of all mines In this
locality.
The Great Western Mining and Milling
company operating at Lime Point thirty |
miles south of Goldfeld, is doing some
good mining, and regular shipments are
in order. Yesterday the second shipment
from the property was settled for at the |
Nevada Goldheld Reduction company's
plant. and this is how the 41,73O pounds
net weight ran: ST. ounces in silver and |
.S3 ounces in gold making the value per |
ton $71.51. Another little shipment from |
the same mine of two tons showed |
value of $4S.l9. This ore was taken from
q new vein that has been encountered |
In a crosscut that was driven at depth |
Of 100 feet, and was in the nature of |
mill run.
Mackenzie Mines
Development work is progressing at a
great rate on all the Mackenzie prop |
critics with strong indications that every |
one of them will be shipping regularly |
within very short time. The Combina-
ton Extension mine is rapidly making
good. The big ledge, which was broken
into some time ago on the upper levels.
has been entered on the 400-foot level. |
where 1t is fully sixty feet wide and |
carries higher values that 1t did higher
up This big ledge is undoubtedly the
extension of the great Little-Florence ore |
body which has been proved to run |
direct from the Florence through |
the Rogers-Goldfield syndicate ground.
across the Goldfeld Rosebud lease on the
o. X. Fraction. the Nevada Pearl lease
on the Combination ground and into the
Combination Extension territory.
On the Frances Mohawk mine, another
Mackenzie property, ffteen-foot vein
OF oxidized quartz was entered on the
300-foot level a few days ago. The ore
is exactly like that taken out by the old
leasers on the Jumbo and 1t is believed
that the vein in the same that has been
proved to run through the Gold Bar, the
Blue Bull and other big properties in
the violently. The Madonna mine, adj
joining the Frances Mohawk, has been
in ore for several months, the values
running from s11 to s14 ton. crosscut
is being driven on the 3O0-foot leve- to
tap the ledge that has just been entered
on the Frances Mohawk. The shaft will
be sunk to 400 feet and possibly 500 feet
and crosscuts driven to open up the
veins on the lower levels.
