The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-10-24

o" StNcn liouShs comes the news
that nine ore discoveries or deyeIop-
ments, of greater Importance than any
thing that has occurred in the district
for more than a year, following in
rapid succession, nave infused new life
into the Seven Troughs district from
one end to the other. Beginning at the
south end of the district near Vernon
and stretching twelve miles to the north
near Farrell, these strikes in the order
of the position of the properties are. the
disclosure of a mammoth body Of ore at
the surface of the Gold Prize property
Immediately west of the Seven Troughs
Fairview mine; the cutting of the
Seven Troughs Fairview vein. disclos-
ing a width of seven feet on the Harris
or Florence lease at the 200 level ON the
Seven Troughs Fairview ground: the
opening up of two feet of 5000 ore in
the Wine at the Signal Peak at a dcpth
of a little more than 100 feet; one of
the greatest strikes of high grade in
the Wihuja east of the Therien in the
history of the Seven Troughs district:
the discovery of a great new picture
shoot between the upper and lower tun-
nels in the Mazuma Hills mine; three
important high grade discoveries on
properties adjoining the Snowsqualls in
Victor canyon; the tapping of the high
grade shoot at the 100 level on the Wild
Cat property near Farrell.
The Wihuja developments are most
sensational. Sixty feet up in the slopes
from the 260-foot level of a 40-foot ore
shoots are revealed conditions that stag
ger belief. Through two feet of high
grade shipping ore are scattered speci.
mems and boulders of ore that is liter.
ally half gold. Single slugs of the
metal with quartz have been taken out
within the last few days worth ST., 900.
Almost a continuous glitter of gold can
be seen by candle light for forty feet
along the slopes. Nearly a ton of the
richest of this rock HIS already been
sacked. The Wihuja ore bins are now
overlooking with ore worth several hun.
bred dollars a ton.
MILL HAS BEEN ORDERED
Following the opening up of large
bodies of milling ore in three different
places OR their property, Messrs.
George and English, operating the
George English lease on the Badger
claim of the Fine Gold property, have
concluded arrangements for the immc-
date erection of a mill for the treat
ment of their ores, says the Seven
Troughs Miner.
Two Huntington mills, one five-foot
and the other a three and one-half foot,
with a capacity of 35 tens daily and a
% horse power Fairbanks Morse en-.
CINE have been ordered and should ar
rive in the district in thirty days. The
plant will be located ON the leased
premises of Messrs. George and English
practically within the limits of the
town of Mazuma and should be ready
for use within the next sixty days.
New Company Organized
The articles of incorporation of the
Nevada Illinois Mining & Leasing com
pany have been filed with the County
Clerk. Thirty thousand dollars is the
amount of the capital stock and the
principal place of business is in the
Seven Troughs district. The company
will do a general mining business. j.
A. Jess of Seven Troughs, w. J. Gillard
of Mazuma, Gus Backlund of Seven
Troughs, Arthur N. Rice of Mazuma
and Nelson Poe are the incorporators.
Hayes-M azuma Lease
One of the leases in the district that
is being watched with the most interest
is the Hayes azuma lease on Mamma
Hills. 1t is situated between the
Reagan lease and Mazuma Hills mine
and its position alone is sufficient to de-
mand attention, but the fact that it is
owned and operated by G. H. Hayes of
'Goldfeld, of Hayes onnette fame,
seems to be the lode stone. There is
considerable superstition among mining
