Interest has been revived in the

GOLD MEDAL, LEASE ON
CHICAGO GOLDFIELD GROUND

The Gold Medal lease on the Chicago
Goldfelds Mining %company's property
in the northern part of the district is
working one shift of men. The shaft
is down $50 feet, and a crosscut is be-
ing run to the west to intercept the
vein which was encountered in the bot
tom of the old Benedict shaft two
years ago, at a depth of a little over
200 feet. This ore assayed as high as
$50, but work was stopped on account
of the dangerous condition of the shaft,
which later caved in.
The Chicago Goldfelds company owns
the Midget, Gold Medal, Gold Standard
and Gold Bug claims, about IS acres.
and early in the history of Goldfeld it
was the subject of considerable COM
ment, having produced some specimen
rock at a depth of about 20 feet. The
company was organized by John w.
Smith who is its president, and a large
amount of work was done on the Rene.
net lease, this work being in progress
at the tim ore was found in the HAYES.
Monnette lease oil the Mohawk, in
which Messrs. Smith and Benedict were
largely interested.
The work now being done is under
the direction of Colonel ]. X. Walsh, a
well known mining man, and is of such
a character as to produce the best re.
suits. The equipment is of a 35-h.p.
capacity, and is one of the best in
camp.
The Gold Medal claim on which the
work is being done has an excellent sur.
face showing.

Hornsilver a Winner
Speaking of Hornsilver, Mr.. Clemens
continued:
"There are so many good items con
i corning Hornsilver that / hesitate to
try to give you all the facts. ! will
say, however, that the outlook for the
mines is improving daily, and j see no
reason why the camp has not come upon
the map to stay. Every leaser seems
encouraged, and the organized com
panies at Hornsilver and all over the
Gold Mountain section are getting busy.
The recent developments in the lower
levels of the Great Western is perhaps
the most important news from the camp,
as the opening of the ore bodies at 200
feet prove conelusively that the ore
goes down-at least as far as pros
pected."
