The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-05-22

The ore body on the Pioneer lease
is getting better with every shot. 1t
is steadily extending and the general
value is improving. More than 100
tons daily are being shipped, and it is
believed that a dividend will be de-
clared in the near future, probably in
July. A new grade of ore has been
encountered in the winze from the 260
level, which shows free gold and is ap-
parently of more than usual richness.
The ore covers the bottom of the winze,
and it seems that the real bonanza
of the Pioneer is scarcely entered up
on. Early in the week HI. S. Stark,
expert for George Wingfeld, made a
thorough sampling Of the Pioneer
ground, with the aid of several assist
ants.

WILL SINK LONE STAR
SHAFT 100 FEET DEEPER

According to recent information,
work will be resumed on the Stopford-
Truax lease on the Lone Star about
June l, and the shaft which is now
down 800 feet will be sunk another
100 feet or further when operations
are again under way. This is good
prospect, and considerable values have
been encountered in punches. The in
dications are, however, that greater
depth is needed, and this plan be fol
lowed in the future. Stopford and
George Truax have been in San Fran
cisco for some time making arrange
ments for resuming work, and 1t is
that this will be done on or
about June /.
