J. L. WORKMAN and Lew Davis. of
Goldneld. have struck II rich on their
claims In the New Goldfeld district.
They have uncovered a four-foot ledge
that IL extremely rich in silver. samples
running as ii as 1851 in silver and
s22 in gold to the ton. Workman and
Davis have also discovered a large de-
posit of anthony ore.
Regular shipments Of bullion are be-
ing made from the mill at the Black
bird mine In the Central district.
Some rich ore has been uncovered
on the Bay Horse group owned by c.
II. Harvey and Pete Henry.
Charles Wright is taking some fine
ore from a 125-foot tunnel. on his claims.
The group of claims. owned by Tom
Nolan at the mouth of Old Central can
yon. promise to develop into a mine.
The Golden Eagle mill Is kept rum
ming on a good grade Of ore. A winze
is being sunk on the ledge from the
main tunnel of the mine and is already
down $50 feet, penetrating a good body
of ore.
Fifty tons of ore. from the 165-foot
level of the Humboldt Queen mine, was
shipped a few days ago. The drift on
the vein on this level is IFS feet from
the shaft and the showing is favorable
for steady shipments of ore.
A seven foot body of ore has been
exposed at the bottom of an incline
shaft on the Airship group, located in
the Harmony range, a few miles east OF
winnemucca The ore shows values OF
IS in gold, IL ounces in silver and IA
per cent copper, at a depth of forty-five
feet .
The Nevada Rebel creek has a six
foot vein that runs $40 a ton in gold.
The eroup is located in the New Gold
fields district.
UEw CANE OF ELDo8ADO
Gold. the magic word of the deser',
has brought a rush of prospectors ana
mining men, investors and adventurers
into this district and to the new Eldor-
ado IL miles south. where the gold rock
lies unfortunately scattered over the
top ridge of the Funeral mountains.
Some are inclined to doubt tina this hne
is the Ions sought for Breyfogle mine.
but whether this be true or not, the
dry placer is conceded by all to be the
most phenomenal discovery of gold rock
ever made in this section of the desert,
says the Greenwater Miner.
Among those who visited the new
fields recently are Harry Ramsey, VINO
is one of the owners of the original To-
cation; O. b. Glover, a part owner OF the
b. st claims. and Arthur Kunze, locator
of the Greenwater copper district. These
three visited the mountain of gold Mon
day. going in Kunze's auto, and returned
me same day with the machine nileh
with high grade specimens. All of the
specimens were taken from the boulders
CT conglomerate which are strewu over
the hillsides, and showed the free gold
through the dark rock. The yellow stun
was so plentiful in the rock ttat the
values could be approximately guessed
at running up into thousands OF dollars
per ton.
The main ledge of the bonarza ore
protrudes boldly from the very crest OF
tine mountain, but storms of ages have
broken huge boulders from this ledge
and rolled them down the mountain
side. The claims Of Rams ~ and Glover
are literally covered VIII these bould-
ers. some of which weigh many tons,
and in none of them is the gold lacking.
Instead of being compelled to mine their
property. the owners propose to ship ore
without delay, since all they need to do
u have the high grade gathered up from
the ground.
1T Is in this that the new strike d1f-
fers from any which has ever before
been made and entirely comedies with
the story of old Anton Breyfogle, who
had found the top of a mountain strewn
with the rich specimens which ne
brought with him to Austin so many
wears ago. And because of the great
case with which several thousand dol
lars worth of ore can be picked up and
carried away from these claims, those
who have possession, are taking every
%precaution to keep a close guard on their
treasure.
In all my experience said Ramsey.
when he had looked over the gold
s,rewn ground. II have never seen any
thing like this. Every one of these large
boulders contain a good-size1 fortune.
Arthur Kunze, who has been 10 every
rev strike that has been male in thus
country during the last Il Years, AMI
has no interest whatever ~ The discoF-
cry made by Witheral. hal this to say:
mo camp on this desert has ever seen
anything Xix. the ore "a these cl7ins.
The top q. this one moun!1in is covered
with gold nuggets, one might truthfully
say. 30 a.. iers a, large as Il house are
lying arouol lccse and ae flied With
gold. Mining Is not necessary at all.
One has only to pick up the broken rock,
break up the large boulders into size
and ship the whole works. The loose
rock ia SO rich that it will return val
ues of thousands of dollars per ton. l
would not care to even place an esti-
mate as to the exact amount of gold
which this eonglomerate will return per
ton, but it's enormous.
LEE DIsT1Icr
Lee, Bullfrog's husky offspring to
the south. is more than holding her own
these days, despite the activity of old
Sol and the scarcity of electric fans.
Outside interest is a little orman at
the present time, but the insiders are
crowding the stroke with regularity and
consistency. The town itself Is In the
first real building boom of it's existence.
Last week the first two-story building
a hotel-was completed. The Lee well,
sunk lately by Beauregard. has been
cased up n a pump put in. Water In
this well has not been lowered by use.
This is an important fact for the towns
people. Abundance of water for mill
is promised by the Ash Mead
ows company by September 18th.
The machinery era is just being In
augurated in the camp. Eight or ten
hoists are now in operation and more
are ordered and on the road. In the
