Consolidated are saving their rich ore.
An Early Location
Goldfeld Red King Mining company
owns the Lady Elgin group, containing
seventy-five acres of ground and To-
Gated one mile south of the town of
Goldfeld. This was one of the earliest
locations in the district. Some eX-
tremely rich float has been found on
the property. 1t has been thoroughly
prospected and the company is sinking
a shaft with the intention of going to
depth, as they are firmly of the opinion
that recent developments prove the ore
zone to extend south of the present
producing section. They also own a
lease on the Red King claim of the
Florence company, on which the shaft
is down 1888 feet, fully timbered, gall
lows frame engine house and other
necessary buildings erected; 25-horse
power gasoline hoist has been ordered
and is expected every day. AS soon as
it is installed it is the intention to run
a crosscut to tap the vein, which the
recent big strike in the Little Florence
shows to be trending in the direction
of this ground. The officers of this COM
pany are ]. C. Mccormack, president;
e. S. Chafey, vice president f. M
Dorsey. secretary and treasurer.
Goldfeld Acacia Mining company
owns the Cotton, West Cotton and
East Paxton properties, containing ap-
proximately tifty-five acres, situated in
the Goldfield district, upon which there
is a showing of nature to fully justify
the arrangements made for their de-
velopment. They also own a lease on
the Mount Hood property of the Pot
latch Mining company, on which the
shaft is down eighty-five feet fully
timbered and equipped with horse and
whim. This property lies In the direct
trend of the vein on which the recent
strikes on the st. Ives and Jumbo Elk
ground were recorded. Experienced
mining men of the district and those
acquainted with the trend of ore bodies
in this particular section of the camp
look upon this as one of the most desir-
able locations in the camp. The Off
GERS of this company: j. c. McCor-
