The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-02-08

That Hart is fast making good there
Is now no question. and that Il will ex-
coed the many sensational discoveries of
the past week and be numbered among
the great mining camps of the west
there is little doubt. says the Hart En-
terprise. Phenomenal strikes are Of
daily occurrence and high grade ore is
being sacked at several of the leases.
Excitement is running at a high pitch.
and II is a hare matter for even the
most conservative to remain calm under
the circumstances Ore unning close to
a dollar per pound Is being brought
down from the Foster lease, and the Orc
Belle No. I. where the original strike
was made. has countere another phe-
nomenal vein in a place where Ii was
least expected.
Besides the various leases showing up
stronger with depth strikes are being
made on many of the adjacent prop
critics. The Jumbo was the cause of
considerable excitement Monday. when
ore running into the thousands was I'M
covered close to the surface.
Real estate is rising in value, and

chased for s25 they are now selling for
500 and $500. One corner on Main
street and Foster avenue is held at
$4,000. and IL Is doubtful whether the
owner would let II go at that. The
numerous strikes W. stimulated the
prices of real estate. and now that the
camp is fast departing from the specula-
tive stage investors are eager to get in
on the ground floor of a sure thing.
During the past week over so tent
buildings have been erected. besides sew
eral permanent structurs are under way.
Main street is assuming the appearance
Of a live mining camp. and in the even
ings the t~horoughfare Is thronged with
people.
The pace set in Hart is a fast one to
follow. and is a repetition OF the early
days of Goldfeid and Tonopah. The
surface showing far exceeds that of n
camp in the country. and words are in
adequate to portray its rapid growth.
HroE GRADE FROM ono
The Principal strike made the past
week was that at the Foster Bros. lease
on block 3 of the Orc. where thirty sacks

and the balance running about $500 per
ton.
Last week a tunnel was started at this
lease to tap a ledge which PANIED ex-
t~raordinary colors at the surface. The
working was in about 10 feet when a
rich body of ore was encountered. six
inches of which assayed 1888 per ton.
vein is about fou feet in width. and
three and one-half feet will run in the
neighborhood OF $50.
From all appearances this lease is
equal to the original strike. but is some
distance from the place where Hart &
Hit made their first location. The news
of the Foster Bros. strike spread like
wildfre. and excitement ran high for
several days. As development pro-
crosses the ore body continues to show
up better.
The Todhunter. Aldrich q Felix lease
adjoins this ground on the north. and
the latter are opening up their strike of
last week. The vein is becoming more
pronounced as depth is gained. and the
values are increasing.
STAKE on JUMBO
What is undoubtedly one of the big
gest strikes made in the Hart district
was that encountered at the Jumbo last
Tuesday. Specimens literally speckled
with free gold. running from $4,000 to
5000 per ton, are being taken from the
bonanza, while five feet Of ore will run
close to 500 per ton. With development
