CLAIM OF GOLD BUTTON

j. Campbell is president of the COM
pany; +. l.. Siegel, vice president;
Laurence c. Phipps of Denver is also in
the directorate. About all the stock
holders are connected with the Power
company in some official capacity and
the lease is financed to continue work
for an indefinite period. Engineer
Browne says that as soon as the shaft.

Engineers as well as mining men have
often contended that there existed in
Vindicator mountain "A rich ore streak
and the Talmadge company has been
for two years endeavoring to find the
richness, but so far has failed in en-
countering sensational rock. However,
the Gold Button company is willing to
follow the find in the Taimadge which
dips toward their ground.

The Red Light and Golden Fleece
claims, composing the estate OF the
Goldfeld Jupiter Mining company, will
be worked by the hydraulic process.
This company was promoted and is
controlled and managed by ID. Mae
kenzie Co. 1t is one of the oldest
locations in the district and is equipped
with splendid plant of maehiner.
After developing it to great depth and
securing very encouraging assays from
a true contact ledge, the property was
closed down by the failure of the State
Bank and Trust company, in which the
majority of the funds of the corpora
tion had been deposited.

AN IMPORTANT LEASING
PROPERTY is LAUNCHED

One of the most important leasing
enterprises since the bonanza days of
the great Mohawk lease has been under
taken by Messrs. +. A. Lucy, j. H.
Blanchard and associates, who have
secured long lease on part of the
Grizzly Bear claim of the Consolidated
Mining company's estate. A 20-horse
power electric hoist has been installed,
and sinking is progressing with all pos
sible speed, the shaft being down 130
feet at this writing.
Like the Hazel Goldfeld, whose en-
gincers went down without crosscutting
until the Red Top vein was reached,
this is to be another deep mining prop
osition, with nothing less than the Mo
hawk vein as its ultimate object. Two
other important veins will be cut on
the way down, the Clermont and the
Jumbo, with excellent chances for de-
veloping high grade in either or both;

Fred f. Browne, engineer in charge
of the Gold Button company, whose
estate is situated on the east side of
vindjcator mountain, has informed The
News that contract has been let for
the enlarging of the shaft in the Matte
claim, and also to continue the sinking
of the shaft to the 210 level.
Many fine specimens of ore have been
found ON the Gold Button group and
from surface indications the ledge from
the Talmadge ground on the Vindicator
runs through the Matte claim. 1t is
this ledge the Gold Button company has
desire to pick up at depth, hence the
letting of contract to the depth men
toned above.

Goldfield district.

Of this worlds goods in actual cash, but
what it had it expended on the pre-
liminaries of one of the most extensive
campaigns of development work ever
inaugurated in the camp.
The ground was attacked through
three shafts, one of which is massively
timbered three-compartment, the destin-
alton of which is the 1,o0o-foot level.
One Of the smaller shafts had Just
penetrated an ore body when difficulty
arose with the power company, partly
due to the depleted condition of the
leasing company's treasury at that
time. A temporary shut down was the
result. Just then the gods, or rather,
the courts. came to the aid of the Little
Florence, by deciding in its favor the
claim for large amount of money with
held by the parent company, the Flor
ence Goldfield. Further litigation was
avoided by settlement whereby the
Little Florence received from the Flor
ence Goldfield sum in excess of $780,
600, cash.
With fat bank account, the Little
Florence attacked the ground with re-
doubled energy and has at last come
into its reward.

The northerly crosscut on the 500
foot level struck the ledge about week
ago, getting values that surprised even
such a phlegmatic individual as Mr..
Muir. An assay touching three figures
was obtained. To assure themselves,
Mr.. Keelyn and Mr.. Muir tried another
assayer with similar result. Then, TO
make assurance doubly sure, the stuff
was repeatedly panned and in every in
stance there was beautiful string of
gold in the pan.
A representative of The News was
escorted through the workings this
week by Superintendent Muir and
shown the treasures of the heart of
Goldfield, for the find was made in the
exact center of the Combination Frac-
tion, which is entirely surrounded by
the Consolidated and Florence estates.
The ledge-that portion which is high
grade shipping ore-ranges from about
five to seven feet in thickness along
The trend, which has been followed for
some thirty feet. 1t is slightly serpen-
tine in its strike, which is almost north
and south. The ledge is as nearly YER
tical as nature ever formed one. Altered
dacite forms the walls and the ledge
itself is a silicified dacite, crisscrossed
by tale seams and permeated with
honeycombed and granulated quartz.
The last named-the "fines carry
the highest values.

Three unbiased samples were taken
across the face. They ran sos. sss and
s120 in gold.
BY the time this issue of The News
is enroute to its readers stopping will
have been begun, but meanwhile about
thirty tons, CT $4,000 a day, is being
shipped. No ore bins have been erected
and the cars, which contain no waste,
are dumped directly into the waiting
ore wagons. A little later they will be
cmptied into cars, for spur track is TO
be constructed.
Meanwhile dhe shaft will be con-
tinued down. It is now at the 540-foot
point. A crosscut is out on the 431,
which has only seventy-five or eighty
feet to go to cut the ere. A station has
also been put in at the $50. A crosscut
will also be run from there as expedi-
tiously as possible.
To interpolate-an assay has just
been taken of the breast on the 800,
twenty four hours after The News man
it. The return was S12S, with
a suspicion of visible gold in the hard
gray quartz.
While all this is happening under
ground, Assistant Superintendent Jas.

GoTWALDT COMBINATION

Work in the Gotwaldt Combination
lease on the Combination claim of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines company
was confined during the week to the
255 foot level, where a strong ledge,
probably the Combination Fraction, was
recently encountered. The entire
quartz body carries milling grade
values, but no ore of shipping value has
vet been encountered above the 315-
foot level. Work on this property will
be pressed more actively than ever IN
view of the finds that have been made
on surrounding properties.
