The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-06-13

J.. C. Mccormack, of Goldfeld, has
been in Seven Troughs a number of
days this week and reports the camp to
be making splendid progress. He does
not hesitate to pronounce it second to
Goldfeld. There are about twenty
hoists in operation and a number more
to be installed within a short time.
Three sets of leasers are shipping ore
from the Mazuma Hills, and the Seven
Troughs Mining company is also send
ing out regular shipments. The last
mentioned property has a shaft down
500 feet, and the best ore yet found has
been developed on the lower levels.
The George and English lease on the
Badger No. 2 claim of the Seven
Troughs Fine Gold property has opened
up a fine body of ore of sensational
value. One shipment has been made,
and a second shipment will be sent out
within q few days.
While at Seven Troughs Mr.. McCor-
mack arranged for some work to be
done on the Seven Troughs Rex prop
erty, adjoining the Fine Gold, in which

(the Borax Smith road) is being organ
lied under the laws of Delaware, with
a capital of $5,2SO,OOO, to become the
holding company Of the Tonopah &
Tidewater railroad and the Bullfrog.
Goldfeld railroad, states the Salt Lake
Tribune.
The Tonopah & Tidewater railroad,
the controlling interests in which
dominate the new holding company,

Topeka & Santa Fe, to Beatty, New,
with a branch to Ryan, seven miles.
The Bullfrog-Goldfeld railroad operates
a line from Bullfrog to Goldfeld, New,
eighty-three miles. The Tonopah &
Goldfeld, which has been operated in
connection with the Bullfrog-G oldfield,
is not included in the amalgamation.
An extension from Goldfeld to Ely,
200 miles, is planned. The officers of
the holding company are: +. M. Smith,

The waters Of Big creek, twelve
miles up the Reese river from Austin
will furnish the camps of Skookum and
Gweenah with water and electric power
and light in addition to furnishing
power and light for mill and the mines
at Austin, under the new regime which
has now began in earnest the work Of
rehabilitation of old properties an J the
development Of new resources in this
section, says the Skookum Times.
Gweenah Cons. L. Co.
The Gweenah Consolidated Leasing
company has better ore showing in
shaft No. 9 this week than ever. This
shaft is down 20 feet and drifts were
commenced both ways on the vein
Tuesday. Double the usual amount of
high grade will now be hoisted daily.
superintendent Efrick expects to make
a shipment of $4,000 to $4,000 worth Of
ore within 80 days.
The entire DottOm OF tue shaii Is III
ledge matter with fully one-third of it
very rich.
The work so far lone by this leasing
company has been paid for by the in
corporators of the company and the
showing is so good that only a limited
number of shares will be offered to the
public at any price.
Parallel Lead Found
The opinion expressed by w. j. Doug
lass of T~onopah, that the Lemairc hill
contains a series of parallel ore bodies
is being borne out by practical prospect
ing and actual work.

PILOT KNOB COMPANY
TO RESUME WORK

DIR. Neherbas, superintendent for the
Pilot Knob Mining company, with head
quarters in Oregon, whore most of the
stockholders live, arrived recently to
resume development work in the Osce-
ola district accompanied by an assayer
and millman.
A contract has been let to the Millick
brothers to drive an S0-foot tunnel on
the Pilot Knob claim which is expected
to tap the vein. Men are to be put at
work on the other claims belonging to
the company to do additional develop
ment and annual assessment.
The mill on Willard creek is being
o~verhauled and will be operated on the
ore from the claims that are at the pro-
ducing stage. A large amount of sup
plies were purchased at the Marriott
store in Osceola.
john Anisield, president Of the New
Moon company, operating about half a
mile from town, was a recent visitor in
Osceola. He expressed himself as well
pleased with the amount Of work accom-
plished and mistaken confidence in the
property, and of tapping the contact
vein in the continuation Of the tunnel,
which is now in nearly 1900 feet.

he is largely interested. A quartz vein
was encountered near the surface, which
was exposed for about three feet when
he left, and the hanging wall not yet
reached. The assay value across the
three feet is $12.40.
The camp will soon have two mills in
operation, with a third to be built dur
ing the summer. A 10-stamp mill, built
by the Mazuma Hills company, will
start on the ore within a few weeks.
The Friedman mill, which is being con
structed for the kindergarten and
Seven Troughs Mining companies will
also be of 10 stamps. 1t will be in oper-
alton within a month. The third mill
to be built will be a custom mill of 100
tons daily capacity, and will be under
construction within a short time.
There are three towns in the district,
but Mazuma seems to be the most
promising. 1t has a number of good
buildings and a new hotel is now being
erected. The town is well supplied with
excellent water. A new automobile
road is being built from Lovelocks to
Mazuma.-Herald.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-06-13

A new strike has been made in Black
and Johnson canyons by France, Cor
mack and Borland of Rye Patch. They
are working on a ledge that is nearly
fifty feet wide at it's base and the rock
they are in at present is a white bull
quartz and carries large nuggets of free
gold, some of the nuggets being as
large as wheat grains.
Another strike has been made above
the France, Cormack and Borland strike
by Goldfeld parties, and from their
ledge they are taking white quartz that
carries splotches of free gold as large
across the face as a silver quarter. The
gold is a very light color and runs com
pletely across their ledge. The ore pans
marvellous and will no doubt
assay away up in the thousands.
Miners are flocking into Black and
johnson canyons and stalking claims
from Star Peak to the foothills.
G~oldfelders Get In
A number of Goldfeld operators have
been to the strike and have a corps of
engineers at work laying out a town
site in the canyon just below the strike.
At this time information in regard to
the parties laying out the townsite is
very hard to obtain, but no doubt some
of the southern operators have seen that
the Humboldt range is not all hot air,
and intend taking advantage of the OPP
.portunities offered here.

Mill for the Harris
WORKING IN
coMsTOCK Is $500 FEET

The deepest workings of the Virginia
City section of the Comstock lode are
the joint deep winze of the Ophir and
Mexican mines, through the Union
shaft, $500 feet deep, vertically, and
the Combination shaft of the Chollar,
Norcross and Savage companies, $3.50
feet deep. This last is the largest and
deepest shaft ever sunk on the great
lode. 1t is open and in good condition.
1t is an up-cast shaft, and the great
volume of supersaturated moist air
coming up this shaft, condenses at and
near the surface and falls in a shower,
keeping the timbers constantly wet, so
they do not decay.
The deepest shaft on the lode was the
Yellow Jacket at Gold Hill, 1900 feet
deep vertical. This was a down-cast

surface indications of this particular
section, found a third parallel ledge on
the lot being operated by the Gweenah
Consolidated Leasing company. This
makes three parallel ore bodies within
a distance Of 200 feet. A shaft is down
so feet on one; high grade shipping ore
is being taken from the second at the
7O-foot level and work will soon begin
OF the third.
This third ledge is 8 inches wide
where uncovered, and carries even bet
ter values than the other W did at the
surface. Mr.. Efrick states that he will
sink on this and do further prospecting
to find other similar ore bodies.
R~etimbering Deep Shaft
Work on retimbering the 600-foot
Union shaft in the Austin Canyon
above town was commenced this week.
This is the second important step in
the great operations of the Austin Man
haitian Consolidated Mining company,
which means the re~JuVehatioh Oh inc
town of Austin and the renewal of work
in the famous mines that have produced
between s45, 900, 900 and $~50,OOO,OO0
above the 6O0-foot level. The Union
shaft on different levels produced some
of the richest ore that was ever hoisted
in Nevada. This 10Y on the part OF
the big company indicates that they in
tend at the earliest possible date to re-
open the high grade deposits in the
vicinity of the Union shaft. This work
will 90 forward simultaneously with the
rehabilitation of the 6,000-foot tunnel
which taps the Lander Hill section. The
Union shaft will be retimbered under
the supervision of ]. II. ingram.

ANOTHER JUMBO PROPERTY
HAS GOOD MILLING ORE

to a point where it will be productive
for a long time to come, and where divi-
dends will displace assessments.
The company has ordered a 10-stamp
mill, which is now on the road and
which will be running by the end of
September. The plans call for the in
stallation of a 40 stamp plant. The en-
tire mill will be erected in a compare
lively short time.
There is enough ore in sight to keep
IA 50-ton mill running for the next five
a depth of 675 feet, and by numerous
drifts and crosscuts. Nearly every
opening shows ore of milling grade and
at several points large deposits of high
grade ore have been exposed.
T. 4 B. Strike
The development of the past week on
the T. & B. has brought that property
to the front in a most gratifying man
ner. The main shaft has reached a
depth of nearly 100 feet, and the differ
emit stringers have united and form one
ledge. The vein is between three and
four feet in width, and the values run
between $50 and $40 per ton.
Capital Has Orc
The shaft on the Capital lease of the
Jumbo Golden Sea Gull Mining & Mill
ing company has cut the east Barge
vein at a depth of 81 feet. The forma-
ton is decomposed quartz and tale, and
is exactly the same as that found in.
the b. b. & NJ. shaft before the same
ledge was found on the 56-foot level of
the latter property. The ledge is ex-
posed for $50 feet on the eastern end of
the Barge. 1t crosses the capital and
has been found in the B. b. & NJ, and
is thought to be the same one just dis
covered on the Empire.

ton and with both a night and a day
crew at work in the mine, development
will be rapid.
An engine house equipped with work
rig bench and tools has beei put up.
There is also a well equipped black
smith shop and powder house. As the
muck is taken out Of the mine it will
be used for grading and when Mr..
O'Neil is finished, the Red Top will
have n of the most complete plants
in camp.
where there is a vertical lead about
eleven inches wide. This lead which
was first encountered further up was
only an inch or so in width at the start.
1t gives very fair free gold prospects.
Daisy
With its gasoline power hoist and gal
lows frame. in place, the Solid Gold
lease is now in a position to go hot after
its ore.
At the present time the work IS being
confined to sinking the main vertical
shaft which is now down 80 feet and
timbered for the entire distance.
Colonel johnson told a Nugget re-
porter yesterday that the work would
be continued to the 125-foot level az
which point a erosscut will be run in a
southerly direction. In the meantime
the shaft will be punched down Gas far
as the cable will reach according to
the Colonel.
"Cyv johnson and C. f. Rice are
both in Denver making the final ar
rangements toward shipping out a mill
to be put up on the Daisy ground to
work both the leasers and company ore.
At this writing it has no been deter
mined whether stamps or Huntingtons
, will be installed but word is expected
any day to the effect that the purchase
has been made and the parts shipped.
A spot has been chosen just below the
dump of the Solid Gold lease where the
mill building will be put up. This
makes it an ideal location in respect to
the company's shaft and all the other
~leasers who can readily reach it by
building short t~restles and running their
ears direct from their respective work
ings to the mill.
William Madigan is working on his
lease Just above the Solid Gold and TAX
ing out ore which is being put on the
dump. BY the time the mill is in
stalled he will have enough ready, to-
gether with the ore from the other
workings, to keep it going steadily.
He already has about 200 tons of ore
which assays in the neighborhood of
$3.50 per ton and there is plenty more
to be taken cut. 1t is only since the
means of treatment have doomed in
sight with a degree of certainty that
the mill would be an installed fact that
any real effort has been made to get the
ore out, so that from this time forward
it is reasonable to expect that there
will be a renewal of activity
The same applies TO the Johnson
Gallagher lease which is in ore and
which is rapidly acquiring an ore dump
which will run in the neighborhood If
$50 to the ton.

Van Etten and Foster have found
ore in their Empire lease at a depth of
IS feet. One sample taken by disin-
terested parties assayed $124.60 per ton,
and the entire bottom of the shaft is in
ore of milling grade, reports the Jumbo
Miner. So far no walls are in sight.
The entire bottom is in vein material,
full of stringers of different sizes, with
but little porphyry intervening.
The vein is thought to be the east
ledge of the Barge and bears the same
general characteristics. The leasers ex-
pect that in a few feet more the differ
emf stringers will form a solid ore body.
That it will carry high values is almost
a certainty, for all of the stringers
show a large number of %colors, besides
leaving heavy %sulphurets.
Another shift will be added to the
force, and the shaft will be sunk with
all possible speed to the 100 level,
where a north drift will be started to
the Gopher shaft. The operators are
confident that a short distance from
the Empire shaft the B. B. & NJ. lead
will be cut. 1t has been traced across
the lease and it's discovery at 100 feet
will mean the addition of an ore body
of proven good value to the Van Etten-
Foster assets.
Mill for the Harris
The Harris, one of the famous mines
of Nevada, is to be brought to the front
again on a large scale. Years ago it
was noted for the wealth it yielded
from shallow workings. 1t is now con-
trolled by a strong corporation CON-
posed principally of Kansas people, who
have spent a large amount of money in
the past few years in development
work. The property has been brought

fine bodies of ore. The Packard Mining
and Milling company are sinking their
shaft on the Stevens No. l and are still
working in their original vein that
keeps widening out as they go down,
and assays taken at the present level
show values as high as 300 ounces of
silver and 81 in gold.
Mr.. Conlin, the manager of the Pack
ard Mining and Milling company's
properties, states that in a very short
time they expect to be shipping ore,
and from the looks of the properties
and the work being 'icne, his statement
is not to be doubted. As soon as the
necessary arrangements can lie made

pany will install !heir Concentrations for

Looks Like a Conner
H. S. Abbott, an expert from Gold
field, paid the camp a visit a few days
ago and after examining the various
properties in and around Packard, de-
elares himself very well pleased with
the camp and paid us the honor of
stating that the camp looked to him
like a conner. Mr.. Abbott left for Reno

years ago. 1t cost 100000 and the
neglect to provide so simple and mex
p~ensive a precaution as a perforated
pipe around the collar through which
water might run continuously, and fall
ing down the shaft, keep the timbers
wet, lost the shaft, which today would
be of great value to the company oper-
ating the famous old mine.

plea of the Tonopah & Goldfeld rail
road company to the proposition of re-
ducing the passenger rate on that road
below 6 cents a mile, the present rate.
The question Of intermediate freight
