The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-09-11

the Goldield Consolidated swered In
this issue, by careful reading of the
various articles on that company's
property. Our predictions of the output
of the Hampton stope are destined to
lie fulfilled.
T. T. r., Goldfeld-Buckhorn is a
Few gold district sixteen miles east
of Tenabo, twelves miles northeast Of
Cortez. SO miles southwest Of Beowawe
and is miles west of Alpha, in Eureka
county. in the foothills on the east
slope of the Cortez range. The first
discovery was made in April of this
year by Joseph Lynn, a p~rospector grub
staked by Messrs. Eberts, Swan and
Dryer Of Palisade. Lynn ~prospeeted
in the dry gulch and every painful OF
dirt showed a string of gold. He fol-
lowed one of these gulches to a big por-
phyry dyke and all along the dyke,
which is 600 feet wide and three miles
long, o~utcropping strong for a mile and
a half, he found quartz that assayed as
high as $42 in gold. He located nine
claims on the pronounced outcrop, three
claims wide and three claims long. w.
r. McCrea, manager of the Gold Quartz
group at Tenabo, which is controlled
bv w. A. Miner and associates of Chi
cago, including j. +. Dunn, superin-
tendent of motive power on the South
ern Pacific and Oregon Short Line sys-
tens, was sent to the new locations by
the Palisade men to open them up. One
| shaft. at the south end of the group,
is "a feet deep. In this, at a depth of
25 feet, the ore assyed $37 gold clear
across the shaft. At "a feet there is a
4O-foot body of free milling ore that
assays from $14 to $40 gold;; streaks
from 6 to IL inches wide assay up to
$1OS and no footwall has as yet been
encountered. w. G. Rannells, at one
time superintendent of the Hayes
Monnette lease at Goldield and at
present general manager of the Eureka
Windfall group at Eureka, New, con
trolled by Chicago people, holds an op-
tion to bond six Of these claims for
100000, which bond expires this pres
emit month. In this option he represents
his employers, who have declared they
will exercise their privileges and take it
up. The original locators retain the
surface rights on two of the claims to
be bonded to the Chicago people for
part of a TOWNSHIP location.
G. s., New York City-The Jumbo
Comstock property lies next to that
of the Selby Consolidated and was
promoted when the Selby Con was
booming things at Jumbo. The Jumbo
Comstock was worked for a time, but
no work is now being done on it and
its future is problematical- depending
upon the success of the Selby Consoli-
dated. The latter company has a small
mill in operation now, working on low
grade ore with good results, but has
no ore reserves blocked out yet.
D. D., Quincy, In.-You will see an
account of a new development in Com
bination Fraction in this isue. 1t APP
pears as If the Fraction has made one
of the most important discoveries in
the district. No statement of its fnan-
cial condition has beer made since the
annual meeting. At that time there
was not a great amount of money on
hand-not as much as generally sup
posed; and since then while there has
heen considerable ore shipped there has
also been a great deal of dead work
done and there is probably not a divi-
dend surplus OF hand; but this new
strike should make a rapid change in
the financial status Of the company,
and should the ore hold out for a con
siderable time, and there is every APP
pearance that it will, the dividend
period should not be long delayed. (2)
There is nothing going on at the other
property, that WI have heard of.
L. 8. N. B., San Francisco-The May
flower mine, at Pioneer, has a better
outlook than at any other time in its
existence. The troubles within the
company have been settled, and a very
capable management install. Mr.. Stark,
the new manager and consulting en-
gineer, holds a similar position with
all the Independent Wingfield proper
ties. He is putting the mine in fine
shape, and opening it up in miner-like
fashion. The fact that the mill is being
enlarged from 5 to 20 stamps, with a
capacity of from so to 60 tons per day,
is evidence that the mine is in ore
and plenty of it. Our most recent ad-
vices from the mine is that the stu
alton is very satisfactory indeed.
A. @. A., Omaha, Neb.-We cannot
advise you on the subject of looming
West especially to a desert country,
where conditions are SO different from
those to which you are evidently accus-
toned. One can live in the larger
towns and mining camps about as com
