ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD
CHAFEY is A WONDER

Chafey at present and there are about
forty or fifty arriving daily. The camp
has an excellent supply of water, which
is free to all; there are over 100 men
now on the pay roll receiving 81 for
eight hour shifts, and new property is
being secured every day by the new
arrivals. In view of the development
of the Chafey mine, together with other
developments adjoining this property,
there is absolutely no question about
the future of the camp. 1t will be a
large, steady producer and much activ-
ity will take place there within the next
few months.
We have been given a contract for an
electric light system for the town of
Chafey and are figuring on considerable
machinery for the various companies.

NEW CONSOLIDATED PROMISES TO BECOME
A PRODUCER OF CONSIDERABLE MAGNITUDE

ing followed from the Gold Bar shaft
and a mile of drifting and prosecuting
has already been done. Development
work is being prosecuted with the OBJ
ject of determining the nature and
quantity of the ore reserves, with a
view of adopting proper treatment ia
~cilities to recover the gold and save the
copper content. 1t would be a very
easy matter to make regular shipments
of the ore at this time, by gouging the
mine for high grade, as leasers are IN
the habit of doing, but no effort will be
made to ship until arrangements have
beer completed for handling the ore.
The Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company, which has turned the Victor
claim into the new merger VIII
strengthen its position in the district
by acquiring a substantial interest in
the G. o. d. Consolidated in return for
that piece of ground. 1t is also possible
that the ores from the property may be
treated in the Goldfeld Consolidated
new reduction plant, pending the cree
ton of a plant by the new merger com
panv. The Gold Bar company had
about completed arrangements for the
erection of a mill when copper was
found in the ores, this of course neces-
stating an entirely different treatment
than was contemplated when the ore

Nearly all of these leases are being ae-

tined place among the heavy producers
of the Goldfeld district.
But the Importance of the c. o. ID.
Consolidated to Goldfeld will be deter
mined largely by the fact that the ores
carry a large percentage of copper, in
addition to the gold and silver. In fact
the copper values average from five to
twenty per cent and the mines will, in
all probability eventually develop into
a big copper proposition.
The ground of the G. o. ID. Consol
idated is traversed by four strong
lodges, the general trend being from the
northwest to the southeast. The up
per or north ledge carries gold from
the surface down and has produced $685.
900 from ore taken out in development
work. At a depth of 200 feet copper
began to show. The ledge has been ex-
plored for several hundred feet in the
Gold Bar and has also been cut in the
Victor BY the Victor Leasing and Min
ing company. In the Gold Bar ground
the ledge carries between five and six
feet of ore that runs from $40 to 800
in gold and from five to twenty per
cent in copper to the ton.
The vein was picked up on the 200
foot level of the Victor a few weeks
ago and $4,000 worth of ore shipped.
/ The ore body shows eve stronger and
richer in the Victor than in the Gold
Bar and the gold values are more uni
formly distributed. The entire quartz
carrying gold and copper values gets
better as depth is attained. In the
Victor the vein took q sudden dip until
it is almost vertical, necessitating ex-
pensive development by Wine. This
work has been stopped and the leasing
company is now prosecuting on the 300
foot level to intersect the vein or its
dip.
Another ledge on the 800 carries 4
good ore body that assays five ounces
of silver, $3.50 in gold and five pei
cent copper to the ton. This ledge is
from fifty to seventy-five feet wide and
the pay streak, which lies on the foot
wall is eighteen inches wide. The ledge
is expected to form a junction with the
parallel ledge referred to above.

HORNSILVER DURING WEEK
MADE IMPORTANT STRIKES

! that assays 1868 and resembles very
closely the rock that comes from the
Great Western. 1t is the intention to
cut a station at this point, and engage
in stopping for the purpose of making 4
shipment as soon as possible. And ore
of this class will go a long ways toward
meeting all the expenses thus far in
Cured in the development of the
ground.
The Ingram lease shaft is down
seventy feet, and steps are under way
to crosscut from this point to catch the
vein which dipped out of the shaft
some time ago, and which should be
caught again within twelve to fifteen
feet. 1t will be remembered that this
ground showed five feet of $3.50 rock
near the surface, and bids fair to de-
velop into one of the strongest proper
ties of the camp.
Nothing of note is reported from the
Hornsilver Mining company ground;
development continues along lines pre-
viously announced, and the showing is
good and encouraging. Occasional
~stringers of high grade hornsilver ore
are encountered.
Chas. O'Daniels has started work on
his MAY claim, which uncovered such
rich gold ore last week, and his shaft
is now down twenty feet; it is the in
~tention to continue to the ffty-foot
point before doing any lateral develop
ment work, but when it is started great
things are looked for.
The Lime Point extension ground,
owned by De Vote and Aberding, has
been receiving attention from Harry
Taylor of Goldfeld, and some eastern
parties, who are negotiating for the
purchase of the ground, and we arc
given to understand that the deal has
practically been consummated. The
ciates in camp means much to those ac-
quainted with his methods and the re-
markable success he has met with in
his operations in the big camp north
of us.
VIM. Cottrell, who is operating the
Argentite claim about one mile east of
the Western, has uncovered a vein run
ming from eight to twelve INCHES wide
that carries ore running $1l0 to $50 in
gold; in sinking fifteen feet he has
sacked fifty sacks of this rock. Adj
joining him are S~tingley and Anderson,
operating on the Long Chance Fraction,
who rave found 500 ore at small depth.
Here are additional proofs of the wide
ly mineralized area of the district.
Last but not least we chronicle the
discovery of water in quantity. Al
Buchanan, working on his ground two
miles southeast of town, has struck \
good flow of water in a sixty-foot shaft,
with sufficient mead to permit bringing
into town by gravity. From all indica-
ton this flow could by development, be
sufficiently augmented to be of great
service, and the management of the
Great Western has been approached
with a proposition to enter into such a
plan. Hornsilver is like the disciple of
Bacchus who was SOLDERING up in the
bastile and remarked, "Bars, Bars all
around and not a drop to drink This
town is surrounded by water, but none
of it is to be had; some one is going to
get wise to this some day and reap a
small harvest of the ever fitting filthy
by tapping this flow of water and bring
ing in to town where it will be of some
use. Speed the day! and let it be soon.

OTHER PRINCIPAL WORKINGS
PRESENT WONDERFUL sHowINas

All the other principal workings of camp are maintain
ing their record Of production and showings. The two
Kearns leases on the Queen are shipping regularly, No. ! to
the local mills and No. 2 to the smelters. The crosscut from
the 400 level on the No 2 is nearing the ore channel, being
in over 100 feet. A change of formation is reported by the
management and news of a most significant find may be
anticipate at an early date. The Lillian and Murray leases
Of the Consolidated are working in high grade lenses, the
Queen Bethania lessees report further Improvement and are
soon to swell the list of regular shippers; the ] x L M. & M.
lease on the property of the same name is drifting at a
depth Of 200 feet on -four and Il half feet of SIS to $4 ore;
the Elkhorn is breaking three to four feet that samples at
seventy feet depth 1898 per ton; the 81. Ives is driving a
erosscur west from the 200 level to explore the south exten-
sion of the Kearns No. :, which, at surface, shows some ex
cecding., rich vein matter; the Wonder King, Poor Boy,
Royal, shd Renfro leases are taking ont good mill ore, and
from every section of camp some reports of constant inn
provemcnt in the wake of the progress of mine develop
ment.
There are thirty-eight hoists in operation in the district;
over forty workings are now in ore having a value of $l4
or better per ton; the stock exchange is doing a big bust
ness, principally among local traders; the railroad grade Is
practically completed and track laying will be started the
18th of September; arrivals are daily growing; the camp
has passed far beyond the age of uncertainty and the show
ing today insures a ~plethoric production of the precious
metals that will play a leading part in placing Nevada in
the lead of the sistcrhood of states in the yield of silver
and GOLD.

REGENT LEASES ARE PROVING
BIO SHIPPING PROPOSITIONS

There are four shipping leases on the Rawhide Rector
properly at Regent. They are the Putnam, Mckinley,
Starkey and Edwards & Barlow workings. A big shipment
is now in transit from the Putnam lease to the smeltcr, con.
sisting or 80 IONS of selected ore. II is estimated that the
consignment will average $3.50 per ton. The hoist installed
ON the lower working is now in commission and prosecuting
is under way to open at depth the exceedingly big aud rich
ore shoe, disclosed in the discovery shaft. Sinking IS also
under way in the latter, where a steady tonnage of shipping
ore is being mined.
The shaft on the Mckinley lease penetrated the big cross
fssure a distance of 90 feet. At this point a station has
been pot in and prosecuting started. The big vein averages
from sl4.4o to $500 per ton. On the Starkey lease, next to
the east, a twenty inch ore shoot has heen cut Mt a depth of
seventy fee. that samples from Sl30 to $l75 per ton in big
lots. Tho ore resembles very closely the high grade OF the
Mckinney, with every evidence present of pronounced per-
manency This is considered an unusually important strike
and has aroused a very general interest in camp. The lease
management states regular shipments will be maintained.
The Tunnel, or Edwards 4 Barlow lease, next to the Me
Kinley on the west, reports breaking into fourteen inches of
$6l6 ore in the new shaft. The ore is identically the same
as the Starkey high grade, proving an ore shoot over four
hundred feet in length. The values in these three leases are
principally in silver, with from one to two ounces of gold
to the ton. The Putnam, on the contrary, is producing a
gold ore almost exclusively.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-08-29

The general public has become SO ac-
customed to hearing and talking about
the wonderful richness of the Consol-
idated Mines, the Florence, and latterly
the Combination Fraction that the
merits OF one of the most promising
properties in the district have been al
most entirely overlooked. Occasional
mention is made of the Gold Bar ard
the G. O. d., and a recent strike on the
Victor claim has drawn some attention
to that section, but very few people
have any idea of the vast amount of
development and exploration work that
has been accomplished in this ninety
acres of ground, or of the results of
that work.
This lack of information is not alto
gether surprising in view of the fact
that the owners of this ground have
not sought publicity but have proceeded
with the work of making a mine with
out any fourishing of trumpets or the
Haunting of assay certificates. They
have shipped SOM high grade, approx
imately $4,000 worth, but this was
taken out in the course of development
work. There is also a big dump of high
grade milling ore and the amount of ore
blocked out in the mine above the 300
foot level is estimated at several hun
dred thousand dollars in value.
