Lode" Ore
AT Golden Arrow

Captain W. G. Cotter came in yes
terday from the Golden Arrow dis
trict, and reports that the properties
there are looking better all the time.
Prospecting work on the Cotter prop
erty has developed more than half a
dozen strong lodges, which pan good
gold values, aside from the ledge on
which the main shaft is being sunk.
There are six or eight shafts on the
property, ranging nom fifty to 1875
feet in depth.
On the Golden Bar ledge, where
the main shaft is being driven down
on an incline, following the ledge,
a depth of 305 feet has been attain
ed, with several short crosscuts at
different levels, to determine the ex-
tent of the ore body. From a width
of three feet at the top the ledge has
widened out to fourteen feet at the
bottom, and the values are slowly
but steadily increasing. No assays
have been made from the lower part
of the shaft for some time, but at
the 227-foot level. where the last
average sample was taken, two and
a half feet Of the fiye-foot ledge
showed an average assay Of $35, in
gold. The balance of the ledge did
not u quite so high.
The work of sinking the shaft will
be continued, and at the same time
crosscuts will be started from about
the 300-foot level in an effort to pen
citrate other lodges which are known
to exist not far from the vein which
is being worked.
The ore is what is known as ande-
site, and has we'll defined walls. A
big gasoline hoist is chugging away
at this shaft, and work is being
rushed. BY the way, there is plenty

Il was more than surprised at the
showings in the mine and the mount
of ore exposed and on the dump. Be
fore coming here | had a fair con-
of the amount of work done.
For the amount of money expended
in development work the showings
are excellent. In my opinion the mine
will excel any property in the Round
Mountain district. The mill is ready
to start and is only awaiting the ar
rival of some of the small parts
which have become delayed some
where on the road, and when they ar
rive the plant will be the best in the
northern district. We have all the
appliances for saving the values with
the exception of a cyanide plant. and
that will be installed later, If the
mill starts before | return east | will
make another trip here to inspect It.
Our sole reason for coming to
Round Mountain was to inspect the
property, for the only thing we knew
about it was from reports sent us and

Grizzly Bear After
Mohawk Ledge

The big enterprise undertaken by
the Grizzly Bear Mining company,
which is sinking to the Mohawk vein
on it's leasehold ON the Grizzly Bear
claim Of the Consolidated, is arous-
ing considerable interest in the east.
Last Sunday Mr.. Blanchard left for
New York on a Geographic invitation
from eastern investors, and it is ex-
pected that the financial needs of the
company will be provided for during
his absence. Meanwhile the shaft is
being carried down will all possible
speed.
The main shaft of the Consolidated
company is being sunk on the adjoin-
ing claim for the same purpose-that
of cutting the Mohawk vein on its
dip; and as the two shafts are with
in almost equal distance OF the apex
of the vein, and about 500 feet apart,
the Importance of the proposition to
the entire district is easily under
stood. One of those interested put it
to a representative of the Goldfeld
News in this manner:
1T is not very often that a mining
engineer gets a chance to conscient-
iously and unqualifiedly advise his
friends to put money into prospective
ground, but If the cream of Console
dated ground is not worth mining,
then the future of Goldfield is in
deed a barren hope. Our calculations
as to depth. etc., are based upon the
underground survey made by Mr..
Lucy for use in the court proceedings
between the Consolidated and the
Jumbo Extension companies in their
recent apex litigation. The material
gathered by him was used in decid-
ing the suit. We are therefore not
guessing; it is simply a business
proposition, and as such it will APP
peal to the people whom we ask to
put up their money alongside Of ours.
If the shaft is carried down without
delay, we should have ten months
to mine from the Mohawk vein Ten
tirely disregarding the possibilities
of the Clermont and Jumbo veins)
and you know what this will mean in
the way of production. There surely
are sufficient people willing to take a
chance at the ore body that has made
Goldtield what she is and on which
her future must be built"
The shaft is now down $50 feet,
and stringers of quartz are beginning
to appear, carrying small values.

George NJ. Lowrey, a director of the
same company, who came out last
week from their homes in Pomfret
Center, Connecticut, to inspect the
property, came in from Round Noun

than enthused over the showings of
the northern camp and are firm be-
levers in the future of the state Of
Nevada. They have been interested
in the Solid Gold lease for over a
year, but this is the first trip to the
property. In speaking of the north

Clyde r. Terrill, owner of the

orably. He states that at the camp
of Pioneer, which is about twelve
miles from Beatty, there is consider
able activity. There is lease
working in that camp and they are
extracting the high grade in large
quantities and are shipping a car
load every two days. When the par

what we had learned through the
banks. The only fault we found with
those reports was that they were not
strong enough and failed to do the
property justice. The property is
financed mostly by eastern capital
and to them we will make a report of
u inspections"
In speaking of the interest of east
ern capital toward Nevada, Mr.. Low
rey stated:
There is plenty of eastern capital
just waiting to be invested in Nevada
mines and if the people there could
only come to this section of the coun-
try and see for themselves there
would be no hesitancy in their in
vesting. The moneyed men are al
ways looking for legitimate invest
ments, and there is 10 reason in the
world why Nevada should not attract
the majority of them
Both gentlemen, accompanied by
Cy Johnson, will go to Goldfeld this
morning and will spend several days
there looking over the camp, From
there Mr.. Averill and Mr.. Lowrey
will go to Los Angeles and spend sew
eral weeks before returning to their
homes in the east, where they will
go boosting Nevada to the limit.

Bradford on the
Wagner Mines

S. K. Bradford and Frank Everett
returned Sunday from a trip to the
camp of Wagner, where they are
operating a number of shafts on cop
per lodges. In speaking of the dis,
trict and the property visited, Mr.
Bradford said:
Il am interested in two properties
there, the Wagner and the Wagner
Azurite. The former is composed OF
eighteen claims and the latter six
teen claims. On the Wagner we
have a shaft down 412 feet and it is
well timbered throughout. This
shaft will be sunk another 100 feet
and then a crosscut will be run to the
nearest vein, which is a contact of
line and rhyolite and pitches about
40 degrees to the east. There is
about twenty-six feet of ore in the
shaft, but is of low grade and runs
from 2 to s per cent in copper. In
sinking this shaft two blind lodges
five feet and eighteen feet in width
were encountered and both contain
more or less copper. There is an
other shaft on this property which is
down eighty-fve feet and has passed
through seven feet Of shipping rock
which by sorting will run over 95 per
cent copper. On three other places
on the surface there is shipping ore
cropping out of the ground and from
these lodges we will commence to
send out regular shipments. There
are two railroads within a mile from
the mine, SO the shipping facilities
are excellent.
"All the vens cut the rhyolite at AN
angle of 40 degrees and finally merge
into the lime contact. Every one
shows copper and a little gold and
at depth the sulphides are coming in.
showing that the values increase
with depth.
"On the Wagner Azurite property
there is a shaft down 242 feet and
this is also well timbered and eoujp.
ped with a gasoline hoist. The shaft
was started 500 feet from the near.
est cropping and after sinking 1876
feet through the lava flow the ledge
was struck, which was composed OF
quartz and iron. During the sinkins
a number of small lodges were found
which carried gold from $40 to $50
ton. Sinking will be continued unit
the sulphide zone is reached anc
then prosecuting will be commenced
The quartz is the hardest in tn,
county and 1t is common for the mel
to change steel after drilling on,

the formation is beginning to change
and II is my opinion that the foot
wall of the vein is in sight.

Railway Building
Large Oil Tanks

The Tonopah and GoldHeld Rail.
road company is fast making prepar-
ations for the installation of oil
tanks for supplying fuel to the en-
gines, which are being fitted out with
oil burners. At the present four of
the engines are in the shops at Los
Vegas, where a crew of experienced
m%achinists from Los Angeles is busy
installing the new burning appar-
atus.
A crew of men is working at Mil
lers building a huge tank which.
when completed, which will be in
about two weeks, will furnish fuel TO
the freight trains on the Tonopah and
Goldfeld road. This tank will have
a capacity of $4,000 gallons. When
this is ready for use the erection Of
the main tank in the yards here in
Tonopah will be completed. The
tank in TonOpah will have a capacity
of 1000 barrels, or 5000 gallons,
and is expected to be ready within
ten days after the finishing of the
Millers tank. The railroad company
will also erect another tank of the
same size as the one in Tonopah, but
has not decided where to place it. It
is thought that the site will be either
In Goldfeld or Nina.

[. Oddie on Track
of a Good Nine

Senator T. L. Oddfe and Mr.. Nor
gan came in from Tonopan by auto a
few days ago to examine prospects
belonging to Jesse Lunn and associ-
ate, and situated in the White noun
tains across from Coldwater canyon.
AS this paper published some unfav-
orable comment on local authority,
and as it never desires to condemn
unjustly, we sought Senator eddie
Monday evening after his visit to the
property, with special interest in his
verdict. Mr.. Oddie is one of the best
known and most highly esteemed of
Tonopah's citizens and promoters,
and his opinion is of much value.
This is what he has to say of the new
find:
1T is good. was in Tonopah and
Goldfeld when they started, and
have no hesitation in saying that the
showing on the claims we looked at
is better than the surface showings in
either of those camps.
The ledge can be traced for three
miles, | should judge, and good float
can be picked up along its length. In
places it is covered over with loose
earth and rocks, but the same char
acter of ledge matter holds; and
where you can pick up, at different
points, such float as this and he eX-
hibited a piece speckled with gold,
there must be something more.
"Of course the property is unde-
veloped, and only work will show
how much it may be, but it certainly
is a fine looking proposition for a
prospect. | think well of it, and If
arrangements can be made between
the owners and the parties whom |
represent we will take hold of it and
open up the property on a scale worth
while.
Il have been interested in Tono-
pah from the first. My interests now
are in such shape as not to require
personal attention, and have been
seeking something new. In this in
vestigation | represent New York
people, and Of course any negotia-
tions must be approved by them be-
fore being concluded. Everything
looks right to me in this property,
and in a week or ten days | will
probably be back to get things going;
that is, as soon as | can hear from
New York. The vein is a contact.
Another contact lies a mile or so to
the eastward
Mr. Oddie departed Tuesday. If
all goes well with the plans, as we
hope will be the case, a great deal
more will be heard of the new mines
within the next few months. And
there are other good properties, too,
which he is likely to give attention.
The discovery is the one made by
ID. G. Adamson about the middle of
October, Samples which he picked
up gave al assay of over $547 a ton,
and pieces of the ore shown in town
were literally fiecked with the yellow
metal. Adamson's original location,
in which John Beauregard is also in
terested, was named the Golden ST.
rem. Adjoining claims, belonging to
Jesse Lunn, Vernon Jenkins and w.
w. Watterson. are known as the
Hazel Belle. Since the discovery a
number Of prospectors have been Wis
ting the locality.
With Mr. oddie's highly favorable
report, a greatly increased interest is
likely to be taken; and sensational
news from that locality need cause no
surprise.
The situation is, at a guess. prob
ably eighteen miles from here by
practicable routes. -Inyo Register.
