DARWIN MINING CO. ORGANIZED

The firm of Geo. +. Won Polenz & Co.
have acquired that group of claims To-
Gated in the Darwin mining district
known as the Columbia Extension Nos.
1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 6 and 10. They have in
corporated this group of claims as the
Darwin Mining company and it is their
intention to Immediately start progress
to open up the country. The camp of
Darwin was discovered in the early 70's
and developed for silver, lead and gold,
copper being entirely neglected.
In less than two years, Darwin had
a population of 1000 inhabitants, sew.
eral smelters and at least six great pro-
ducing mines. Thr property of the Dar-
win Mining c0:ipany lies in the midst
of some of those properties which w

bonded by the leading copper interest,
of the world.

ore is similar to the other late deposits
of the Bullfrog district and it appears
to be only a question of following the

ore in shipping quantities will be de-
veloped. At the point where the shaft
was sunk on the Shoshone ledge rich
float was found.

The main producing territory of the
Combination company comprises tn

main shaft of the company located near
the common endline of the Combination
No. / and Combination No. 2, is the
center of company operations and ore
production. Connected with this shaft,
there are 1908 feet of drifts and cross
cuts at six levels. and 1920 feet of
shafts, Slopes, wines and raises, max
ing a total of 10,0S3 feet.
On the Combination No. 1, two leases
are in operation one of which, in the
northeast corner of the claim, known as
the Sheets-Ish lease. has developed an
ore body which extends into the Mo
hawk No. 2 claim, where it has also
made a good production in the Kalfus
lease. The ore developed and ready for
extraction in this ore body will, there
fore, be subject to division between the
Combination and Mohawk, but in either
event become eventually an asset of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines company.
On the Combination No. /, another
lease known as the Dewey lease is de-
veloping an u~nexplored treact 800 feet
square near the northwe sterly corner of
the claim. This lease has not made any

The study of the geological conditions
in this mine has shown the desirability
of certain new developments for the
purpose of exploiting promising ground
in the vicinity for new ore bodies.
OF the remaining extensive territory
of the Combination company, two claims
have received some development under
lease. At the present time. the most
important of these is the Victor claim,
adjoining the property of the Gold Bar
Mining company on the east. Recent
discoveries by the latter company, near
the western sid line of the Victor
claim, indicate clearly that the latter
may be speedily developed to a produc-
ing condition.
The o. X. claim adjoining the well
known Florence claim of the Florence
Goldfield Mining company is under
lease to an energetic leasing
which has sunk a good working shaft
about $50 feet and, in crosscuts at this
depth, has found promising veins which
are being followed in drifts.
The two claims last mentioned should
be given a high valuation which will be
fixed more definitely in the near future.
The remaining territory has been de-

count of it's situation in the productive
section of the Goldfeld district, it
should be given a good valuation, solely

BURNS A
is A BONANZA

Messrs. Morton and Beesley. the
principal owners of the Burns lease on
the Combination Fraction. are daily be-
coming more enthusiastic over the out
look on their workings. They state
that the ore body is increasing In size
and value with every shot. Already
they are satisfied that their proposition
will eclipse the Frances-ffohawk. in
fact, there is no limit to their expecta-
tions.
1t develops that there are fully 800
feet of stopping ground OF the lease.
Besides stopping. the men are drifting
in both directions. The ledge has wild
ened out to ten feet, every foot of which
shows values of at least s175. And
there are numerous rich streaks all
through the ten feet. These streaks
give promise that as soon as the upper
levels of the Frances-Mohawk, toward
which the work is nov rapidly progress
ing, are encountered the ore will be Of
the sort tina gladdeus the hearts Of
miners and must need be stored in ore
vaults.
Up to the present only enough ore
has been hoisted to make room for the
men TO work in the lower levels. And
at that the slopes and drifts are con-
gested with ore. The owners have in
stalled machine drills in order to expe-
dite the work as much as possible. The
new forty horse power electric hoist
is working without a hitch. Forty men
are now employed, twenty-eight of them
being underground.
Contrary to expectations, the railroad
people have thus far been unable to
lay the sidetracks. However, the tracks
will be finished by Sunday, n at the
beginning of next week the first ship
ment will be made. The lay of the
land is such that no ore bin are re-
quired, the ore being run directly from
the platform into the cars.
