MOHAWk-JUMBO'S
GREAT Showing

George B. Holleran, of the j. H.
Macmillan Co., Inc, who is managing
the Mohawk-Jumbo Lease Company,
reports that the double compartment
shaft on the Gold Wedge fraction of
the Jumbo Extension Company has
attained a depth of 265 feet and that
the three shifts working on that
privilege are breaking ground at the
rate of five feet per day.
The Mohawk Jumbo, having its
block of ground Immediately adjoin-
ing the Mohawk Company shaft and
but rs feet from the famous Hayes.
Monette lease, is daily expecting ia
encounter the high grade ore known
to exist in its ground. The bottom
of the big shaft is now entirely in
quartz and each foot of work sees
more evidence of the approach of the
ore. The very fact that the Mohawk
Company in it's main working shaft
has gone through large bodies of
high grade ore from the 200 to the
$50 foot levels all of which are dip
ping into the Mohawk-Jumbo ground
makes the holders of Mohawk-Jumbo
lease stock most sanguine of success.
That this lease company promoted
by the j. H. Mcmillan Company, Inc,
has a most excellent chance of having
a big thing in a mining way seems tc
be the |concensus of opinion among
the engineers who have visited the
ground. Ore bodies have been open
ed up ON all sides of this lease, with
the Higginson lease on the Gold
Wedge fraction as the latest to strike
the high grade within a radius Of
$50 feet of the Mohawk-Jumbo.
The Mohawk-Jumbo Company has
gone about it's work with the determ-
nation to be well prepared for a bis
tonnage onc the miners get into
high grade there. AS a consequence
the shaft has been made double com.
partment working from the collar
and is equipped with a IS horse pow
er double drum electric hoist, per
haps the best in the entire Goldfielt
district. In the event of ore beinl
encountered within four months o.
the date of expiration of the lease il
is believed that the Mohawk-JumbC
company could produce a greater ton,
mage in that time than did the ia
nous Hayes-Monette lease within tht
period of seven months they yer op
erating.-Review.

upraising of the new shaft. 1t is ex-
pected that the new shaft will soon
be completed, as the work is now
within a few feet of the surface. The
work here consists mainly in repair
ing the old Slopes and enclosing the
old open ground. Considerable tim
bering is still necessary and much
lumber being hauled to the spot for
this work and also for the erection
of the new shaft buildings.
The Boston Johnnie Company is
sacking ore on the Minnie Mae lease,
Sinking is being done in the shaft,
the work following the vein, and in
the work considerable ore is being
blocked out. The fifty level is espe-
cially rich and the superintendent is
of the opinion that the ore will GO

The new owners of the Globe John

anime the property and determine

fore the month is ended that work

ANNUAL MEETING
ORIG. MANHATTAN
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
SHOWS PROPERTY IN EN-
CELLENT CONDITION.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Original Manhattan
Mines Company was held at the office
of the company in Tonopah on the
5th inst. About 47S,000 shares of
stock were represented.
The report of the superintendent
of the mine shows the same to be
in a most excellent condition. De-
velopments have been pushed vigor-
ously on both the lead-carbonate and
the gold lodges. Upwards of 500
feet of work has been done IN the
lead-carbonate vein and a consider
able tonnage of high-grade ore ex-
tracted and blocked out.
On the gold ledge IN the Monday
claim the double compartment shaft
has reached a depth of 100 feet and
about 800 feet of drifting and cross
cutting has been done, almost the
entire amount of which was in ore,
exposing a very large tonnage, A
hoist has been installed, and as soon
as lumber which is now on the way
from Austin arrives at the mine sink
ing will be resumed.
The treasury of the company is
also in a most excellent condition.
The secretary's report shows a cash
balance on hand of $12,447.14, with
237,1S7 shares of stock still remain
ing in the treasury.
E. B. Cushman was reelected pres
ident; C. H. Mcintosh, vice presi-
dent; c. C. Boak, secretary and
treasurer; J. G. Booker and ]. w.
Shelton additional directors for the
ensuing year.

MOHAWK

Marvellous as it may seem, the min
ing industry of Goldfeld has been
brought into its main street by sink
ing of a deep shaft on the Mohawk
Annex ground between Columbia and
Goldfeld. The shaft is situated in
the rear of 1920 Main street, a short
distance from Broadway. Pioneers
'"'o formerly thought that all of
G~oldfeld's mineral wealth lay in the
foothills to the east OF town stand
oghast at this new development.
The new thirty-foot gallows frame
oyer the shaft, erected last week,
towers above numerous shacks and
buildings. The engine bed for a
newly ordered 15-horse power Fair
banks-Morse gasoline hosting engine
is completed; everything is in prep
aration to install the hoist within "a
hours after It's arrival.

bottom Of the shaft are delving into

LAGUNA

In spite Of the fact that a persist
ent flow of water is being encounter
ed in the main shaft of the Goldield
Leasing and Mining Company's
leases on the Miss Jessie claim of the
Laguna, work is steadily progressing
with three shifts of men. The water
is coming into the shaft at the rate of
one foot per hour, making it neces-
sary to hoist eighteen buckets in that
length of time.
Engineer Swears intends installing
an electric sinking pump as soon as
one can be obtained. He has wired
to every electric pump factory in the
United States and as yet has not met
with success. He has had experience
with electric pumps of this kind In
the mines of South America and
states that should he be unable to
secure one in this country he will
send an order to England. He fig
ures that it can be placed on the
ground within twenty days. He de
clares that electric pumps are ex-
tremely handy, being comparatively
light in weight, and are so arranged
that they can be easily made to fol-
10 wthe miners in their sinking.
The shaft is down 200 feet in an
andesite formation exactly similar to
that of the famous Mohawk. At a
depth of $50 feet it is the intention
to crosscut to the southeast in order
to tap a large body of sulphide ore
which has been located by a diamond
drill. When this ore is encountered
should the showing of the drill prove
even half correct, it is predicted that
an mormon body of high grade sui
phide ore will be opened. Many are
watching operations with interest

JOHNNIE CAMP

A gigantic merger is about to be
formed of some of the big mines in
the lead-silver belt of Johnnie. Rob-
ert II. Browne, formerly of Denver,
has a syndicate lined up to take oyer
the Lorna Doone group, the White
Cap group and the Bonnie Bell group.
Interested in the syndicate are several
Colorado and California millionaires.
The properties lie on the western
slope of the Johnnie range in the ga
lena belt. The values are in gold,
silver and lead. The White Cap
group shows a large ledge running
through the property which shows
good assays in gold, silver and cop
per. Two shafts are sunk on the
property, one on the White Cap
claim and another on the White Bluff
claim. Besides some other develop
ment work has been done on some
other claims. Both of the shafts ex-
pose a good ore body and Browne is
now preparing to run drifts and ex-
pose considerable value. The Bonnie
Bell group consists of three claims
that have a lead and silver ledge that
assays % ounces silver, IA per cent
lead and some gold values. Shafts
hive been sunk on the Bonnie Bell
and Lead King claims, which show
this ledge to be strong and about
four feet wide. The Lorna Doone
group adjoins the Bonnie Bell and
has practically the same ledge. Here
assays have been taken returning 20
ounces silver, 20 per cent lead and
about So in gold.
The work is rapidly progressing on
the shaft of the Johnnie Wonder. The
men are now working through an
iron ledge that the superintendent
thinks is a Gaping over a big copper
body. Near the shaft on the surface
is a large body of copper ore that
assays from one to five per cent cop
per and through it run stringers of
malachite assaying from 80 to 35 per
cen copper. The vein matter in the
shaft is four feet wide filled with
hematite, copper stain and present
are stringers of rich malachite. The
values are in gold, silver, copper and
iron.
F. e. Bennett and Robert Atkin-
son two local brokers. have gone to
Los Angeles, and before leaving said
they are attempting to arrange for .
syndicate to take over some valuable
property on the hill just north of the
BuIlfrog Johnnie. Here they have
taken options on a group of six
claims, through which run two
hedges, assaying from 81 to $40 on

belt in the Johnny district, being a
