Tho Sneexina PRAYER,

The custom Of following a sneezc with

1t Is next TO impossible to say when
1t actually began. According to StraIa,
the custom originated among the AS
syrians, who, through IN opinion Of
the danger that attended It. after the

RICH VEIN AT GOLD MOUNTAIN

After seven months work with q
double shift of men, the tunnel being
driven by the Goldfeld Granite Noun
tain Mining company, in the Gold
Mountain district, is about to enter the
immense vein which has been the OBJ
~jective point. The tunnel has been
driven across the formation, through
very hard granite, and while but little
information about the work has reached
the public, the project is one of the
most important that has been in pro-
gress in the Gold Mountain district.
The tunnel will enter the vein at a
depth Of about 400 feet, and directly
under a big ore shoot which comes to
the surface. The ore occurs in a true
assure, which is one of the largest veins
known in this country. II shows on the
surface for we three miles before be-
ing covered by the detritus.
The vein has been developed by the
Butte Goldfeld company on the east of
the Granite Mountain, where they have
an immense tonnage of milling ore
opened up, together with some good
veins Of shipping ore. The same vein
is being developed by the Richmond
company, whose property joins the

the financing of the property.
The estate consists of four claims and
is situated in the Montezuma mining
district. Three men are now steadily

ing is four feet in width and has a
northeasterly and southwesterly trend.
1t is a true contact, lying between slate
and granite, the granite wall showing
a goodly percentage of copper.
j. A. Burton is superintendent Of the
property and is intelligently directing
its affairs. The ore now shows con
siderable sulphide as well as the free
metal. These are the first sulphides
found in the Montezuma district. Some
splendid assays have been received
from the property. the latest running

Gently started work, and will open the
vein at it's most eastern point.
The Granite Mountain company owns
nine claims in a compact group, and has
5000 feet of the vein, and the largest
ore shoot known in the vein. +. w.
Codington of Santa Monica, the con
sulting engineer of the company, has
been down at the mine for a week TAX
ing measurements for a tramway to
handle the ore from the tunnel to the
millsite, and also for the foundation for
the mill, the first units of which will be
put up as soon as a sufficient tonnage
of ore has been blocked out. The vein
is forty feet wide where it will be cut
by the tunnel, and assays on the surface
from $l.00 to $500, with three feet
which will average $4,000. The com
pany has quite a camp established at
Willow Springs, and will continue the
development of the property until it is
on a producing basis. The Goldfeld
people interested in the property are

rangements nave been made for a trial

shortly.
Adjoining the Montezuma Gold King

pany's holdings. II. NJ. Motz is presi-
dent of this company and is a heavy
shareholder in both. The same ledge
apparently traverses the two proper
ties. In the Washington Mr.. Motz has
sunk a shaft 100 feet in depth and has
cut stringers a~ssaying as high as s103.20

A within has been installed on the
shaft. The company win now timber
to a depth of 100 feet and sink deeper
by contract. A crosseut win be run to
the eastward to catch the main ledge
which enters the claim from the White
Rose.
A shaft was sunk on that property q
a depth of fifty feet and a erosscut run
for 10 feet, all in ore.
Superintendent Motz expects good
results from the work undertaken and
will keep operations moving. He is
promised ample financial assistance by

RED MT.
COMPANY HAS FINE ORE

The monthly report of the Diamond.
field Red Mountain Mining company
just issued, will probably be of great
interest to the stockholders. 1t refers
to the developments of the past sixty
days on the 300-foot level, where the
company has been exploring its ledge
north and south of the shaft. The ex.
posed body of ore has been thoroughly
examined by experts for outside parties
who have become interested in the pro-
gress and developments on this prop
erty, and their report shows that the
ore exposed in the mine will average
around $24 to the ton, the 300-foot level
going on an average of $40, with a
large tonnage in sight.
The company will now drift on the
200-foot level, as they have on the 300
and drive upraises to connect the levels
in order to determine accurately the
values and tonnage hat can be relied
upon in case Of the erection of a mill.

GOLD IN A DAISY LEASE

Ore of the sort to make the eyes
bulge out has been encountered in the
workings of the Daisy Leasing and
Mining company, which is operating a
leasehold on the estate of the Goldfeld
Daisy Mining Syndicate.
The find was made the latter part of
this week on the 2O0-foot level, where
a drift is being run on a ledge recently
encountered in the south erosscut.
The lode is about eighteen inches in
width and is well walled by later ande-
site. The ore is oxydized, but the
values are in the quartz as well as in
the hematite. where they were found
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-07-18

AT the same time the sinking of the
shaft to the 500-foot mark will be con
tinued. Drifts will also be run on the
400 and 500-foot levels and upraises
driven to connect with the upper levels.
This work will be pushed forward rap
idly and should the result meet with
the expectation of the management, the
erection of a mill will at once be com
menced.
The formation has steadily improved
with depth and the values are better
also, and it is therefore believed that
on the lower levels, ore of a grade that
will permit steady shipping will be en-
countered. This is one of the Codd 6.
Coote properties, and their efforts to
make a mine of it, have not ceased y:
any time during the financial hard
times. 1t now would appear that their
confidence in the property is justified,
as it has every promise of soon ranking
with the producers.
