The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-12-12

AS a result of the extensive develop
ment which has been going on of late
in the southern portion of this com
pany's ground a good ledge has been
encountered ON the 200-foot level,
about 500 feet south of the shaft. The
southeast erosscut, which has been driv-
en- ahead steadily for some time, this
wecn encountered what promises to de-
velop into a fine body of ore. The
ledge in the face of the crosscut shows
a width of from 6 to 10 feet and is one
of the best strikes made on this prop
erty for some time. As it shows up in
the crosscut the top of the vein carries
low values, but in the bottom of the
workings considerable high grade APP
pears. 1t is the intention to do con
siderable work on this new find as soon
as the crosseut succeeds in making con-
n~cetion with a raise from the 300-foot
level, which is but a few feet distant
The older workings in the mine show no
p,..ieular change, the stope yielding
the usual amount of ore. The week q
shipments consisted of 100 tons, carry
ing values far in excess of the ordinar.

The work of opening up the veins eli.
countered on the different levels from
the Stone Cabin shaft continues, and as
progress is made other ore bodies are
showing up strong, carrying gooa
values. The shaft is down 7251a fee,
an advance of 8 feet for the week. The
objective point having been reached,
work has been discontinued in the bot
tom for the present. During the past
week a total of 80 feet of development
and prospecting work was done, the
larger portion of the force being EN-
ployed in the Slopes on the 100, 200 anil
300-foot levels, where a good quality If
ore is being extracted.
100-foot level-The Slopes east AMI
west of the shaft IN the North anu
South veins continue to produce a god
tonnage of ore, f ON 3 to 4 feet comiiis
from zach of tie Slopes on the NorsL
vein, while the South vein is yield;fe
an average of } feet. These ore bodies
have been exposed for some distance by
tae different d,lfts, thereby proving
a eaod block of ore to be worked our.
2Oo-foot level-The east drift on the
South vein exposes a fine body of ore,
being somewhat wider than usual, ow-
ing to the North vein having formed a
iuncture with it. Slopes are being sent
up on the ore body and are producing
a good tonnage. West of the shaft the
slopes on the p%alallel veins each show
about 4 feet of good ore.
300-foot l~evel-Stopes have been
started from the 200-foot intermediate
level where the raise from the 300-foot
level broke through, and show an aver
age of 4 feet of good milling ore. Stop
ing is also in progress from the raise
from the 300-foot level, the ore body
showing about the same strength.
40O-foot level-The raise east of the
shaft, which is being sent up to make
connection with the 300-foot level, was
advanced 5h feet during the week and
is now up 46h feet, the top showing 2la
feet of low grade quartz.
600-foot lcvel-The south crosscut
was sent ahead II feet since last re-
port and has reached the 20SEa-foot
point. The face shows a contact, with
quartz and vein material following it.
West End Con.
15O.foot level-The showing in the
slopes from this level is excellent, the
ore body showing a width of from 4 to
6 feet in the back, all of which carries
very good values.
20O-foot levei-The west lateral drift
shows quite an improvement this week,
the face being full of ore, with consid-
cradle high grade, and looks as though
they were entering the ore shoot opened
up on the level above.
40O-foot level-The west drift on this
level is now out 1870 feet, exposing over
4 feet of second class ore in the face,
with ~stringers and spots of high grade.
How wide this ore body is is not known
at present, as the whole drift is full of
quartz. The stope from this drift near
the shaft is looking better thar ever
and is producing from A to 8 feet of
fine ore. This stopc is up about so feet
for a length of 90 feet, exposing a con-
tinuous body of ore. The several raises
which are being sent up from the east
drift have been advanced during the
week and show a general Improvement.
From the 20-foot point of No. 3 raise,
which is go feet EAST of the shaft, east
and west drifts are being sent out for
the purpose of opening up slopes, and
show a fine body of ore. From the 40
foot point of No. 4 raise, east of No. 3
raise. an east drift is being sent out on
a very promising streak of ore. An east
drift is being sent out from the 30-foot
point of No. ) raise still further east to
prospect the ground and some good ore
