GOLDFIELD, New, Feb. 3.-Another
big shipper has been added to the list
of Goldfed's world beaters. A blind
vein has been encountered on the Hig-
ginson lease on the Jumbo Extension
Mining company. The shaft has been
driven six feet into the ledge without
indication of reaching the other wall.

better than s150, while picked assays
run from $1,000 to $4,000. No property
in the Goldfeld district is more ad-
mirably located than the Jumbo Ex-
tension. 1t adjoins the Mohawk, Red
Top and Jumbo, which are all big pro-
ducers and Is in the very center of
the zone of the Wingfield $50, 00O 900
merger. The Higginson lease has
shipped twenty ons of ore, from which
the smelter returns were $516 to the ton
and twelve tons which yielded 1926.
During an examination of the Daisy
mine 7. B. Tustin took a sample of the
ore from the face of the workings and
had 1t assayed for his !own satisfac-
ton. He got the returns-exactly $2S92
to the ton was the report 1t is suffi-
cient to say that Mr.. Tustin is satis-
fed.
The ore was taken from new lead
opened up at the request of the party.
two men having been set to work un-
der their direction. The men ran into
a new ore shoot of very high grade.
The latest deal in the Wonder min
ing district was announced this week
when Patrick, Elliott & Camp, the
Goldf1eld operators, purchased the CO.
lumbia group of claims adjoining the
Alice property The consideration was
$4,000. The Columbia group consists
of the Wisconsin, Coin, Coin Extension,
Amherst Lafayette and Columbia. This
ground has been conspicuous since the
early discoveries of Wonder because of
the rich surface showing, which is re-
vealed by nearly every one of it's
claims. The ground is traversed by
network of east and west and north
and south lodges. The big ledge system
which extends from the Alice, Stray
Horse, Castle Rock and Jack Pot
groups runs directly through the CO.
lumbia Wonder property, and Is
traceable for nearly 5000 feet on the
surface. This section of the Wonder
mining district has been attracting
considerable attention of late, as two
weeks ago the Stray Horse group was
sold to AL Meyers. pioneer and wealthy
operator of the Goldfeld mining dis
trict, for $4,000.
Mine Bonanza
The Ramsey Comstock promises to
develop into second Comstock lode.
This Is the opinion advanced by Irwin
G. Lewis, former owner and editor of
the Ramsey Recorder who visited
Goldfield one day this week. Mr.. Lewis
continued:
Captain Mayne and other Goldf1eld
people are heavily interested in the
Ramsey Comstock and they certainly
have big bonanza. The surface of the
entire acreage of the property is piled
with float that has been gathered from
the detritus to the tremendous dixie
which traverses the property and which
stands twelve feet in air. The entire
dixie and all the float thrown from 1t
will mill at profit and the owners
have so thoroughly satisfied themselves
on this matter that they have arranged
for the erection of mill with a ca
pacity OF 500 day.
"In the center of the dixie is a streak
twelve inches wide which will pay to
ship and as depth is attained on the
ledge the streak grows wider and more
than maintains it's value.
"The Ramsey Comstock shaft is now
down to the 174-foot mark and is show
ing up splendidly. On the 6O-foot level
a crosscut was run which proved the
lodge to be 73 feet wide with a streak
of feet assaying from 5000 to $500 to
the ton. The entire ledge will mill

"At the 150-foot level another cross

found to be the same as above, with the
exception that oxidation has ceased and
the ores are in the form of sulphides
indicative of their continuing down to
great depth.
'The Rattler No. is another prop
erty that is making great showing
This property is owned by Thomas s.
Bobison company and associates of
Goldheld. The shaft is down 1S0 feet
and is following the foot wall. Every
so feet crosscut Is run into the ore.
The results are beyond expectation and
goodly amount of the ore will pay to
ship.
1.-THE Ramsey -Ophir is a property
controlled by G. A. Norcross and Sam
Wheeler of Reno. Three sets of leasers
have been working on this ground and
another lease, that of Clark and Pritch-
EFT, was let on the LIST of January. This
lease Is showing bonanza values at a
depth of six feet. The formation is al
ready permanent there. The Hopkins
tunnel on this estate has been advanced
to the 2OO-foot point, where It has en-
countered the dixie.
