WHAT'S DOING in THE HILLS
CONSOLIDATED RED TOP

Regular shipments of very good grade
ore continue to be made by the Con-
solidated Red Top company, both from
the 300 and 225-foot levels. Stopping
will shortly begin from the new shoot
recently discovered on the 15o-foot
level. Development work of most
promising nature. is progressing ON two
levels.
Assays in new ground on the 225-foot
level continue to be most encouraging
and the company expects to soon tap a
new ore shoot there.

GOOD ORE PASSED BY

The Huntzinger lease on the BLACK
Butte played in bad luck or words to
that effect. After spending several
thousands of dollars the leasehold was
abandoned. Immediately afterwards an
expert was sent into the'property, VINO
found vein of ore cut by the leasers
which averages 5000 in gold and silver.
A shipment is now being prepared on
company account.

i ATFST DEyEL LOPMENTS ON THE FAMOUS
BALLOON HILL PROPERTIES AT RAWHIDE

Special Correspondence Goldfield News.
northeast of the Bradshaw lease and
adjoining the Rawhide Queen estate on
the east, the Rawhide Daisy has started
drifting on the 26Ofoot level on what
is believed to be the same great ledge
from which the values are being taken
in the Bradshaw Early last April
Superintendent Schweble uncovered a
ledge ON the north end of the property
six feet in width and carrying free gold
averaging from $40 to $50 ton. The
discovery was the first important strike
made on the east side of Balloon hill
mn to that time and marked the lnecp-
tion of the long line of leases and the
active development work that has since
been inaugurated on this side of Treas
ure mountain, as Balloon hill has been
aptly termed by well known mining
engineer.
Following the discovery in April the
Rawhide Daisy company installed
powerful pump and complete plant OF
Machinery and since that time has
spared neither time nor money in open
ing up the mine. The main working
shaft has now attained depth of 26O
feet and with the exception of the rich
Kearns No. 2, is the deepest shaft on
Balloon hill. In spite of the fact that
good milling ore has been opened up
and at various levels in the mine
streaks of high grade have been dis
closed that would pay to ship, the man
agement have persistently followed the
ore and mining men who have examined

july was s4,0o3.22. In August s2,95o.7S
worth of business was transacted. The
figures rose to $s,404.75 for September
and in October to s4,s44.30. Up TO
Thanksgiving day the November bust

steadily on the increase.
There are 2,04l lock boxes in the post

He is confident that he will develop one
of the biggest bonanzas in the state.
Another shaft has been started by
the Broken Hills Mining Company Of
Nevada, the name Of the parent COM
pany. It has encountered new vein
twenty feet in width, which assays an
average of $40 ton. Mr.. Rannells is
greatly elated over this strike and says
that it proves the richness and perma-
nency of the group.
Arrangements have already been
made for the installation Of mill. The
first ffty-ton unit has already been pur
chased. There is an ample supply of
fuel in the vicinity and the water ques-
ton is already satisfactorily solved.
In addition to the work on company
account, which is being carried en- with
a force of about twenty me-, there are
over 100 other miners working in the
district, deva' ,pi1g the various leases,
of which there are fourteen working,
while five others have been granted by

ENCOURAGING STRINGERS

these and Monday point was reached
where the seams came together and
showed a vein of from twelve to fifteen
inches, of which FIVE inches was high
grade, running as high as 80 ounces In
gold to the ton.
Apparently the vein is coming from
the Rosebud, to the south and is head
ing, across the Gotwaldt, to the main
workings of the Combination mine. The
find which has been made on the Moore
has lent a lot of encouragement to the
leasers working in that neighborhood,
for it has proven that high grade exists
in that section and that only work and
patience are essential to its develop
ment.

original claims puchased by Mr. McCor-
mack from the Cliffords, eight addi-
tional claims having been afterwards
acquired, but the purchaser seems to
have made mighty fortunate move in
coppering luck, for he has secured all
the visible mineral territory in the
neighborhood.
It might naturally be supposed that a
mining property such as this would be
situated high on some precipitous noun
tain, but as a matter of fact, the loca-
lions cover a little hill, across which a
stone could nearly be tossed. The hill
lock rises out of sandy plain mile
from the mountain range. The entire
hill is composed Of quartz and por-
phyry, the two materials commingling
in mineralized matter, in which free
gold frequently shows, while the chlor-
ides and carbonates of silver are also
evident.
The ledge formation is brecciated as
though through mighty upheaval, re-
cementing the particles after the Sec
ondary enrichment had taken place.
On the main company workings there
is little else than small frame shaft
house, surrounded by corded sacks of
ore awaiting shipment. There is not a
ton of waste in sight, although there is
little heap of what the miners con-
temptuously term mill stuff" Pan
nings evidence that this disregarded
material will run about $50 a ton in
gold.

an incline on the hanging wall. A shaft
