PERMANENCY WRITTEN IN
ROCK OF PIONEER DISTRICT


Tex Richard Gets In
Tex Richard, another Goldfeld man. has secured a lease
on part of the Gold Hills property, the center of the lease
being 300 feet west of the Pioneer lease on the Bimetalie
claim. Richard is backed by Chicago capitalists. Interest.
ing conditions of the lease are that Richard and his ass,.
eiates are to place in bank the sum of $4,000 cash. 80
guarantee that they will when they start operations put IN
a complete hosting and machinery plant of specified size
and capacity. This condition was complied with. and it i
certain that after this expenditure there will be no lack If
"ginger" in the conduct of operations underground. This
is also a choice looking piece of property according to the
impressions of the writer, and will be one of the properties
which should make good, backed as it is by plenty of capital
and having conditions imposed which work for expedition
in development. 1
On the east of the X. X. claim, owned by the Tobiu
Brothers, Lem McGarry, part owner of the Pioneer East
extension, and Messrs. Lemley, Southworth and Streuke, all
of Rhyolite and Beatty, have taken a lease, and will com
mence active work at once. This property is 600 feet to
the west of the Pioneer lease.
On Thursday a lease was granted to Henry Bell of Gold
field, with whom are associated Chas. r. Topping and J. r.
Goldsworthy, late of Colorado, and who are mining men of
experience in the Colorado camps. They have already been
doing some surface work on the property, prospecting for
the most likely place to start their working shaft, and now
that the lease has been signed they will commence work on
a larger scale.
W. II. Brodie and John Bonham of Rhyolite are already
at work on one of the first working leases in the district,
and have their shaft on the Bimetalhc No. i down 20 feet,
and are working in the ore channel which showed at the
surface where they started their shaft. They areworkhng
in a rhyolite intrusion, which is already showing values of
from 81 to $12, and looking better with depth. They seem
to have a strong showing, and believe that as they follow
the ore channel to where it /, beyond the action of teaching
from surface seepage, they will have a big body of high
grade milling ore. The rhyolte vein on which they are
working is four feet in width, with well defined walls of an
altered ~porphyry.
The Indiana Groun
Among the holding companies which are operating in thu
district, the operations ON the Indiana group of three
claims are attracting general attention, and an air of ex-
pectancy is observed in connection with the work which Is
being done there. The Indiana sidelines the Bimetanic No.
3, where the bonanza Pioneer lease is located, the working
shaft of the lease only 100 feet from the Indiana lines.
The Indianas also sideline the Conservative claim, which
epdlines the Bimetallic. Underground developments in the
lease show that the ledge of picture rock which lease man
ager J. r. Bryan uncovered some weeks ago in the lease
cuts through the Indianas either in whole or in part, and
that this property should contain just as rich ore and IN
just as great quantity IS is found in the lease. The In
dianas are controlled and owned in large part by +. >.
Giles and Vim. B. Milliken, Tammney and Phillips also
holding some interest in the three claims.
A shaft is being started close to the Bimetallic lines on
the Indiana ground, and while it is down but a few feet as
yet, its daily developments are given close attention Mr..
Milliken is giving this property close attention, ana as ne
was a notable figure in the development OF the cripple
Creek district, and also DullI II HoHeStdhe li N ~"
Bullfrog district, his operations mean much to the district.
Mr.. Milliken is enthusiastic in his predictions for the dis
trict. believes that it will have a very large number OF
great mines in comparison TO the size of the district, anu
that the ore bodies will be of great extent and permanenee.
Bullfrog Pioneer Northern
The Bullfrog Pioneer Northern Mines company has been
organized to handle and develop the Corona group OF SIX
claims which lie on the northeasterlys side of Pioneer Noun
tain. and along the line of the %northerly fault in the crater
L.. FL NJ oo,nan 10 a anitalizal for "A million shares
of a par value of 81 each, Los Angeles men being the prin-
cipal hackers. A. H. Ten Brock is president, Judge L. 4.
Raw. vice resident; J. A. Mofatt secretary and I. J. Ashby
treasurer.
The property of the company has a fine showing with 4
bio porphvry dyke with rhyolite contact showing along its
LENGTH. and a camp house, blacksmith shop and 50 on are a.
the property, and active work is being rushed on a tunni
which is being driven into the hillside to cut the contact.
The rock which is being taken out of the tunnel shows some
values, but it is not expected to reach shipping ore unli
the cut has reached considerable depth, as II was started =
some distance down the side os the hill, 50 that when the
contact IS cut it will be at depth.
The Jim Dandy
The sensation of the camp just now is the Jim Dandy
lease, which Barnes and Sullivan, of Goldfeld, are working
on the Jim DANDY claim of the Sierra Orc Mining company,
some three quarters of a mile to the east of the Pioneer
lease, and along the line of the same ledge. Although th@
lease is but a few days old, the operators are ON a maghhi-
cent ledge of silicifed %porphyry, between rhyoiite CONTACTS
and the rock being taken out or the smart haNns .oA
values at this time. 1t is predicted that the lease VIII De
in the shipping class in less than a week, making the snai
nav for itself from practically the start. Work IS being
rushed ON this lease, and arrangements for machinery
which will handle the property as depth IS reacheo nav
been made. The rock which is now being taken out IS a
deep, rich red in color, free milling and easy crushing, anu
makes a showing which is regarded as remarkable even IN
what is to all appearances destined to be a remarkable
camp. The property, as is the workings OF the fiohe'f
Northern Mines company, is at the head Of a draw which
loads directly ont to the desert in the S~pringdale vicinity,
making a down hill haul with the ore of only about hve 9f
six miles to the railway. The grade up to the property =
gradual, and it will be easy to get machinery and heavy
supplies to the mine.
