EASTERN CAPITALISTS TO
WORK LEASE ON LONE STAR

The Nelligan and Truax lease on the
Lone Star, in early days famous as the
'Patriek" lease, has just been taken
up by wealthy broker of Akron, Ohio,
and will hereafter be operated by the
Goldfeld Star M. & l.. company. The
lease covers the southern fraction of
the Minnevada and four blocks on the
Lone Star claim adjoining, which
brings the lease up to Simmerone and
Commonwealth ground. This lease,
when operated by l.. L. Patrick, pro
duced $4,000 in gold. He lost the
lease, because of some mix-up with the
owners, and the Lone Star acreage was
sold on the basis of the showing made
in this lease.
The new owners, who will have to
commence operations on the ground he
fore July l., win have the benefit of n
shallow vertical shaft and fine equip
ment. There is an incline shaft 220
feet on the ground but this will not be
utilized. 1t is estimated that the rich
vein that produced the little fortune
some time ago, will be cut on the hang
ing wall at 100 feet.

The Fairview Eagle is in the ship
ping list. Instructions have been given
to Superintendent Morris to begin re.
moving the ore from the dump and ship
it to Salt Lake smelter.
Ii. G. Cutler, consulting engineer on
the staff of Nixon & Wingfeld, has the
following to say OF the property, which
is the second shipper of the district, the
other being the Nevada Hills:
1--WE have been steadily developing
the Eagle ground for over two years
and during that time have said but
very little as to what we have. During
this time we have installed a gasoline
hoist, an air compressor run by 60
horse power gasoline engine, pumps and
all the necessary machinery, including
air drills. to economically work the
property. We have opened an ore body
on the 200-foot level east of the big
fault that cuts off the Nevada Hills
vein and it is very possible that tins is
the extension Of the Nevada Hills vein.
The vein has been drifted on for $50
to 800 feet. 1t is somewhat faulted,
but 50 far we have been able to follow
it and we have a continuous shoot of
ore for the entire distance. The ore
varies in width from five to twenty-five
feet and is all of good milling grade.
There is a streak of high grade on both
the foot and hanging walls varying in
width from one to five feet This ore
will average better than 800 per ton
We have from 50 to 100 tons of this ore
extracted during development work on
the dump. i have instructed J. w
Morris, the superintendent, to put men
stoping from the 200 level up and con
tinue the shipping indefinitely. At the
same time we will continue our develop
ment work on this level by drifting
still further east on the main vein, also
erosseutting west of the fault to pick
up both the Jarvis and the Wingfeld
veins. These veins are nearly parallel

WORK OF ENLARGING THE
PURITAN SHAFT COMPLETED

The work of enlarging and retimber-
ing the shaft of the Sprague lease be-
ing operated by the Puritan Mining
company of Boston, was completed yes
terday. The shaft is down l25 feet and
has been enlarged to double compart-
ments, each compartment being Az in
the clear. The work was done by con
tract under the supervision of Oswald
Stein, superintendent for the Puritan
company, and no work In the district
has been done in a more workman-like
manner or more expeditiously.
Lateral work and sinking to the 500
foot point will progress simultaneously
with two shifts.

RUMOR OF FORGETTING
OF LEASE INCORRECT

The tremendous slaughter that re-
suited from dumping Florence L. & M.
was the feature of the week on ex-
change. Rumors were rife that the
lease had been forfeited. In fact the
security was removed from the board,
but returned when it was learned that
the rumor was incorrect.
T. G.. Lockhart has given the lease
company until June 18th to complete
reorganization and arrange for the
financing of the company.

DEEP SHAFT FOR GREAT BEND

days miners have been employed clean
ing out the drifts and shipments will
shortly be resumed.
Arrangements meanwhile have been
perfected for development work on a
large scale. The new vertical shaft
will be two compartments and will be
sunk to 800 or 600 feet. Money for
this project has been advanced by the
Lcftus- Davis company. Between $25,-
600 and $4,000 will be expended and
the indications are that one of the big
gest propositions in the Goldfeld dis
trict will be developed.

MOHAWK-REDT TOP IN GOOD ORE

weeks ago several small punches Of

Now it appears that the real shoot
has been found, near the corner of the
Red Top Extension. The ledge matter
and filing carry from $1s to $36, while
the boulders, which are eaated with tel
lurium, run up to $40.
The shaft, which is now at 442, will
be sunk as rapidly as possible to the

new discovery.
