F. L. RANSOME TO COMPLETE
u. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

+. l.. Ransome, Pm. d., who is geol.
ogist for the United States government,
and who made the geological survey of
the Goldfeld mining district two years
ago. is here for the purpose of rom
plotting that work.
When seen at the Goldfeld hotel by
a News representative last evening,
DR.. Ransome said:
"At the time Of my former visit the
development was not sufficient for me
to reach conclusions as to the depth to
which the ore deposits will continue.
81 expeet to spend five or six weeks
here and complete the geological report
of the district, including conclusions as
to the origin of the ore bodies and pos
sibly some suggestions as to future de-
velopment.

HORNSILVER GREAT WESTERN MINE
is LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER

The past week in Hornsilver has been
marked by that quiet, steady work
which has characterized this camp from
its inception. 1t is work that brings
results, and the results have been a
source of some surprise even to those
intimately acquainted with the coun-
try.
The manner in which the Great West
ern is showing up under the line of de-
velopment inaugurated, is a matter OF
intense satisfaction to Manager j. M.
Russell and those interested in the
company. Last Saturday advice was
received from Supt. MeNaughton that
at the ei~ghty-foot point in the WINE
that is being sunk to connect the loo
and 200 levels, ore had been encoun-
tered that ran 1854; on Monday a new
bunch Of ore was run into that assayed
1912, of which 1925 was in gold, and
picked samples ran as high as $1,000.

this winze until the 200 is reached, but
it will be necessary to remove several
tons of rich ore while doing this. The
east drift continues in excellent ore,
and the west drift on the 200 level i'm
proves constantly.
Company work on the Silver King is
being steadily pushed and good pro-
gress is being made. 1t is a matter of
only a few days when the lOO-foot
mark will be reached, when crosscut-
ting will be started both north and
south to ascertain the extent of the
ore bodies encountered while sinking
the shaft.
Strikes of good shipping ore have
been reported by the Cable, Frisbie and
Flynn leases, and these men, in COM
pany with the other ~lessees on the
ground of the Great Western and Silver
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-06-13

King are outlining their work in a
manner that will enable them to handle
the ore rapidly and in quantities when
they commence shipping.
The showing on the Lime Point
c%ompany's property is steadily improv-
ing, and another shipment of ore with
in a few days is announced by the man
agement.
The water franchise was granted by
the county commissioners last week,
and work in connection with the in
stallation of water service from Mt.
McGruder will be taken up and ear
ried ahead rapidly. 1t can be con
idently stated that within a very rea-
sonable time the town of Hornsilver
will have a water supply adequate not
only for living purposes and fire pro-
lection, but also for the operation of a
good sized mill.
Application has been made to list the
stock of the Silver King Mining com
pany on the Goldfeld exchange, and
when one considers the excellent show
ing on the company's block of ground,
as well as on ground under lease, it is
reasonable to expect healthy trading
in these shares.
1t had been expected that the Off
Gals of the Las Vegas and Tonopah
railroad would make a visit to the
camp and district last week, but urgent
business called them back to Los An
geles, Mr.. Gillette stated, however, that
within a short time he and Mr.. Clark
would return and make a trip over the
entire Gold Mountain country, includ-
ing all the districts tributary to Horn
silver, and it is confidently believed by
all those acquainted with. the country,
that the result of the inspection will
convince the railroad officials that a
branch should be built.

Work on the Hazel Goldfeld lease
on the Last Chance claim of the La
guna, is progressing satisfactorily to
Manager Maurice Fink and indications
point strongly toward ore with depth.
The shaft is rapidly approaching the
4O0-foot point. The present contract is
for $50 feet, and as the contractors
are making 81. feet per day, Manager
Fink is already figuring with eontrac-
tors for another 100 feet, which will
sink the shaft to the 550-foot point.
Unless the ore is reached before, the
shaft will ultimately be lowered to the
65O-foot mark. AS this lease joins the
famous Mushett, which is producing
heavily, it is believed certain, by the
management, that either one, or pos
sibly both the veins Of that ledge will
be caught in the Hazel Goldfeld.
The ground is changing considerably
as the shaft is lowered. The rock has
been unusually hard for some time, but
the udclte mas pcch Pchcsoecu ~ -"
ground beneath is soft and there is
considerable water, but not more than
can easily be taken care of. A new
4O-horse power hoist has been installed
the past ten days, during which time,
the lease of necessity was closed down,
but it is in full operation now A
small stringer was cut in the shaft
this week, from which an assay of
$104.s0 was had, but Manager Fink
SAYS that the stringer in itself is worth
nothing ave as an indication.
Thomas Harvey, president of the
Hazel Goldfeld company, returned to
his home in Chicago during the week
greatly pleased with his investments

eastern customers.
Mr.. Bernier states that he did not
leave Chicago under a cloud but that
he did leave there broke, but honestly

dicted in Los Angeles, but admits that
an information had been filed against
him by an eastern customer, but that
before this he had settled with the com
plainant in full of all his demands.
Unless the complaint is withdrawn, he
supposes it will go before the grand
jury.
Mr.. Bernier states that none of his
troubles with the authorities have come
through his relations with the Robinson
and Vickers iotations. Through no
fault of his own, he says, the issuing OF
the new stock of the Nevada Goldfeld
Leasing coming in exchange for stock
of the leasing companies that went into
the consolidation, was considerably de-
layed. He could not get the stock to
deliver to his customers who had bought
the new stock or sent through him the
old stock for transfer, and for this, he
says, he was severely criticised. 1t
was this matter that brought him to
Goldfeld and he states that the last of
the certificates are being sent out at this
time, and that if stockholders do not
get their certificates within a reason
able time, they should notify him at

The recent offer that was made for

The shaft on Adolph Nemer & Co.'S
