The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-04-27

The advance of the season sees great
activity among the working properties.
Machinery is being installed in many
places. and the work is opening up a
great deal of high grade ore. This will
insure a number of properties joining
the ranks of the shippers before the
wear is much older. Talk of a railroad
IS again revived. with a considerable as
surance of building. This will mean the
complete solution of the transportation
difficulties. Work has been started in
a number of new places in the district,
and these will be heard of right along.

Down at Snyder's work is going on as
usual. While there are no developments
of a sensational character. yet each
days work is adding to the reserves of
the property and encouraging the man
in the belief that they have a
big mine. A great deal Of high grade
ore is being taken out of the Wine in
No. 4 tunnel, which is now down about
so feet. The lead is getting stronger
with every foot of depth. and there will
be a vast extent of stopping ground
opened. In this working alone there
will be a great tonnage of shipping ore

dump at No. 4 tunnel will average we'll
over 800 per ton, and no attempt is be-
ing made to sort It. Should the policy
of the management so dictate. shipping
could be commenced at once. There are
other properties in the south end of the
district which are being looked over
carefully, and the present season should
see a great amount of work done. as the

TAIHvIEW EAGLE
Some very fine ore is being cut in the
drift on the 200-foot level. although 1t
is not in quantities sufficient to
encourage the management in the belief
that they are On the right course to con-
meet with a large body of the same. and
to his end all energies are being put
forth. The water question has not as
yet been solved. A limited quantity still
finds its way into the workings, but it is
hardly deemed possible that 1t is any
thing but surface water. About 500
gallons per day are now being taken
from the 200 level.
MORRIS wEsTGATE PROPERTY
Superintendent Joe Morris of the
Wingfield staff, reports that his property
over at Westgate is looking fine. and
that some of the quartz being taken out
is highly mineralized, and that assays
show good values. A shaft has been put
down 100 feet on the ledge and drifting
has been in progress for some days.
with the result that several stringers of
very good ore have been cut, denoting a
near approach to the ore bodies for
which the management is heading. 1t
is expected that a big property will be
developed on this ground, and present
Indications are very encouraging.
EMPIRE STATE
The new tunnel on the Empire State
is now in 35 feet, and Superintendent
Farmer is much pleased with the show
ing being made. The quartz stringers
being cut show some good values, show
ing that the theory upon which they are
working will prove to be correct and
that a connection with the ore bodies
may be expected at any time.
