ST. IVES LEASE STILL
sACxYMG RICH oRE

The phenomenally rich pay streak
that was opened up on the 1O0-foot level
OF the ST. Ives lease last week, continues
to hold out. The winze. which is being
sunk on the vein is down 80 feet and
there is no indication that the streak is
pinching out. 1t is still six inches wide
and averages better than $4,000 ton An
upraise has also been started on the
high grade streak. The vein will be fol-
lowed down until 1t widens into q big
ore body or pinches out. The manage
ment believes that it will prove perma.
nent. In the meantime it is enri .hing
the treasury of the company at rapid
rate.

The Daisy Leasing and Mining COM
pany has made what promises to de-
velop into one of the greatest strikes of
high grade ore that has been made in the
Diamondfield section of the Goldfeld
district or in any other section. In the
south drift on the 250foot level about
so feet from the shaft they have struck
a big vein of solid quartz that gives
average assays clear across the face of
from s255 to s5S5 ton. The quartz is
extremely hard and firm and is literally
alive with native silver although the
principal values are in gold that occurs
in teIlurium, the proportion being about
eight to one.
The ledge or vein crosses the drift al
most at right angles and has been pene-
trated for a distance of six feet. The
quartz lies in a solid body and has
general trend from northwest to south
east with a slight dip to the south. The
footwall of this vein was encountered
about thirty feet from the shaft but the
vein was badly broken and the values at
this point were but nominal The broken
vein matter has been left behind and

Goldheld was practically cut OF from
the outside world during the greater
part of the week by a strike of train
men employed on the Tonopah and
Goldfeld railroad. The men walked out
last Tuesday night following the dis
charge of "a conductor who refused to
take an ore train out from Tonopah
for Miliers because he was given but
two brakemen instead of three as usual.
From that time no train arrived in Gold
field until yesterday afternoon when a
train carrying the delayed mail came
in from Nina and returned with the out
going mail. This morning supply
train is expected to arrive and by the
first of the week trains will. in all
probability be again running on regu-
lar time.
When the men walked out they inn
mediately held n conference and de-
manded the reinstatement of the con-
ductor: the reinstatement of an engi~
neer and fireman. suspended for drink
ing while on duty; the discharge of
trainmaster and the chief dispatcher
and the resumption of the hospital SER
vice. The demands were refused by
Manager Hedden of the railroad and
strike was on. Manager Hedden at once
wired the facts to the national heads
of the various orders to which the
strikers belong and asked that the men
be directed to return to work. pending
arbitration of the differences He ex-
pressed willingness to consider any
grievances the men might have but re-
fused in the interest of discipline, to re-
instate the conductor who had been dis
charged for characterization. 1t Is
stated on the best of authority that the
appeal of Manager Hedden to the heads
of the railroad mems organization has
been effective and that the men have
