decided to rush work on the shaft.
which is down nearly 275 feet. Cross
cuts will be driven to tap the lodges
that have been exposed in the workings
ledge will be cut within a comparatively
short distance from the shaft. One
fine ledge has already been cut and
opened up for a distance of over 100
feet. showing what experts have de-
clared to be the finest footwall in the
camp. This vein was cut about fifteen
feet from the shaft and runs in an
e~asteriy and westerly direction. The
ground has been carefully examined by
experts who declare that this vein forms
a junction with the Jumbo vein, within
driven from the soo-foot level to tap
the two veins at the point of junction.
The company has been given assurance
that the lease, which runs Until Decem-
Der 1st., will be extended.
Jumbo wonder on Polsvsrds
The Jumbo Wonder lease on the Pole
verde claim of the Jumbo Extension has
struck a strong flow of water on the
300-foot level and indications point to
the proximity of the ore shoot. The
crosscut which is being driven to the
southeast is in a very hard formation
and Manager Wallace believes he is in
the footwall of a ledge. The develop
ments of the next few lays are expected
to be important.
0oldneld Mig Chief
The Goldfeld Big Chief Mining and
Leasing operating on the
Kaiser Fraction. has cut a ledge on the
50-foot level that shows some ore run
ming from $3.50 to $1,000. The shaft
has been dropped to 100 feet and a cross
cut is being driven to undercut the ledge.
Both of the double compartment shafts
are now down 100 feet and connections
will be made between them at this
point. One shaft will be used for hoist
ing and the other for sinking.
Leasing on SANDSTONE
Three leases nave been let on the
property of the Sandstone Mining COM
pany within the last week. The leasers
are James Atkinson, formerly super
intendent of the mine; John Durgan and
Walter Lord. Former leasers have
Jared well in working the Sandstone
ground and it is evident that there are
others who have faith in the richness
of that section of the district.
Queen Florence
The Queen Florence Leasing COM
pany is the latest to make a bid for the
famous Florence ledge. The company
has just been formed by a party of
Wisconsin capitalists and has taken
over the old Stevens and Jeske lease on
the Cornishman claim of the Florence.
The lease block is surrounded by the
Zinn-Jumbo, the January Jones and the
Peer-Pugh leases. The shaft on the
lease block Is down $50 feet and the
new owners will begin active develop
ment work at once.
Combined II. q L. Co
The Combined Mining and Leasing
company, has struck what it believes
to be the st. Ives ledge. in the Sunrise
lease on the Velvet, at a depth of $50
feet. The find was made about forty
feet from the shaft in the east drift,
running at RICH angles with the drift.
The ledge, after being followed for
about 22 feet. turned and is now rum
ming with the drift. which is being
driven to cut the north and south ledge.
The values are increasing as the work
a.l H. - -
fdent that shipping ore will be encount-
cred very soon.
Florence ooldneld Red Cling
The Florence Goldfeld Red King
Claim Leasing company is hurrying it's
shaft toward the $50 foot level. The
shaft is already down $50 feet and as
soon as it has been dropped another
fifteen feet a station will be cut and a
crosscut driven to catch the Florence
vein, which General Manager Gatzen
is positive runs through the lease block.
Mr.. Gatzen says there can be no ques-
ton about the vein being in his ground.
The strike on the Goldfield Syndicate
ground a few days ago. is in his, opin-
ion, conclusive proof that it must trend
in the direction of the Florence Exten-
sion and the Red Hills, and conse-
quently he cannot miss it.
oha Combination
The Mohawk Combination Leasing
company has completed the shaft on the
Kalfus lease to a depth of rs feet and
as soon as a station can be set, the
work of drifting on the big veins will
be started and rushed through. The
drifts will also be connected with the
incline shaft and will greatly add to the
facilities for increased production.
In sinking the shaft through the dyke,
some ore was encountered but while
such of the hock as was taken out in
sinking was saved for shipment, no
further attention was paid to 1t. A
strong flow of water was also encount-
cred. which interfered somewhat with
the work of the contractors.
Polevsrds n. q L.
TIL Poleverde Mining and Leasing
company is down 100 feet and the shaft
will be continued to the 300-foot level,
before prosecuting. Two known veins
have been struck and the management
believes that good shipping ore will be
encountered very soon after crosscut-
ting is begun on the 800.
