When the Hubbard lease on the
Mountain King claim at Lucky Boy
produced a million dollars in the short
space of about six months it was be-
l:eved that a record had been made
which would stand for a high mark to
shoot at in that camp for some time
to come. but it now looks as though
"Johnnien Miller, as manager of the
Goldfeld Alamo company, which owns
the Mountain King group, will be the
William Tell who will shoot down the
persimmon, and from the same block
of ground that was worked under the
Hubbard lease.
The discovery Of a large body of ex-
ceedingly rich ore by prosecuting into
the footwall from the 300 level, as re-
ported in The News about two weeks
ago, is proving to be of such bonanza
proportions that the glories of the Hub
bard lease are threatened in a most
inspiring way, for this ore is the pure
ssblack metal running IL per cent
copper and 1890 ounces silver, or sl44o
per ton. There is an average of about
one foot of this ore, and it has been
proven on the 200 and 450 levels, in
addition to the 800. This discovery
was made as a result of prospecting
the supposed footwall in the "Crems
de Menthe" stope of the Hubbard
lease, where the footwail, as left after
stripping off the big streak of higl
grade ore there exposed, was soft anC
broken and showed strong stains OF sli
yer bromides, with spots OF blaci
metal. Tearing down this d~eeomposet
material with a pick, it was ascertain
ed that it was a false wall, and tina
behind it was a streak of much highe
grade ore than had ever been mine'
in the Hubbard workings. Furthel
prospecting soon opened it on the 2O'
and $50 levels, and every foot of devel
opment is increasing its known extent

NEW STRIKE AT LUCKY BOY
IS SHOWING BONANZA ORE

In addition to the new discoveries in
this block Of ground, large quantities
of ore are being extracted from the
drifts and unbroken slopes left by the
Hubbard management at the time the
lease expired August l, and present
indications are that the parent COM
pany will more than equal the record
made by the famous lease.
Outlook OF Other Leases.
According to Mr.. Miller's estimate,
the new vein of ore opened back OF the
original vein should parallel the old
vein for a considerable distance, but
will probably make a junction with the
old vein in the block of ground under
lease TO the Silver Queen company,
west of the Hubbard block. If it does,
there is a great chance for the Silver
Queen company to get something pretty
big. j. j. Mccarthy of Goldfeld IS in
charge of these operations, and Mac
has already made his reputation as hav-
ing a ''good nose for ore naving
been in charge of the Engineers lease
on the Florence when it made its phe-
nomenal production of over $~l,Ooo,ooo
in less than four months.
The Mitchell & Fairfield people ave
succeeded in opening the "oiaek
metalu streak in their lease adjoining
the Hubbard on the east, and are max
ing a fair production from the ground
already opened for stopping.
The Spencer, Mccormack and Brodi-
pan leases still further to the east are
all getting out some nice ore from the
original vein, and it is possible tina the
new vein exposed by the Alamo com
nanv under the direction of Mr.. Miller
will be found by prosecuting to par
allel the old vein through these blocks
Of ground.
Mr.. Miller says that the camp o.
Lucky Boy never looked better IN :
mining way than it does now, and tina
greater expectations for the future arr
lwell justified.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-10-09

tendent Gallagher to prepare a carload
of this assorted high grade for ship
ment to make the record car thus far
sent out from Lucky Boy. 1t is esti-
mated that the car should bring a net
return of close to $4,000, which is
certainly going some for silver ore.
Mr.. Miller also believes that cross
cutting a short distance further to The
north will open another rich parallel
vein, for the reason that surface pros
Meeting recently exposed a new vein
back of the original vein, and nearly
100 sacks of high grade ore were taken
from a shallow surface trench This
vein is supposed to be independent OF
anything yet opened in the under
ground workings, and judging by its
surface showing, may be one OF the
hest producers of the entire system.
The main shaft is being sunk beyond
the water level, which was struck just
below the 5OO-foot level of the HUB
bard workings, and it is now down
about 545 feet. At water level the ore
body underwent a change and decrease
of values for a distance of perhaps ten
feet above and below, but the ore soon
came in again, three feet solid, OF the
same general character as had been
mined from the Hubbard lease. Inc
bottom of the shaft is now in ore the
full width, and it is apparently spread
ing out both ways beyond the sides, SC
that it cannot be positively stated JUS
what the full width of the ore BODY
may be at this time or with slight d
tional depth. There is a possibilit,
| that the three streaks of ore exposes
at the 500 level and apparently separ
ated by an intrusion Of country rocl
may come together at some point below
this level, and make an ore body of ex
traordinary dimensions.
Arrangements are now being mad
for installing heavier hosting appaI
atus and a sinking pump to facilitat
the work of acquiring greater depth

dent In history occurred at about $3.50
o'clock Saturday morning, September
25, when the famous Hampton stope on
the Combination vein of the Goldfeld
Consolidated Mines company estate
caved from the fifth level to the sur
face, breaking through nearly 200 feet
of solid ground, enveloped a portion of
the Combination mill, and caught and
killed three men in the deadly rush of
rock that closed the Hampton stope
from bottom to top.
The three victims of the accident are
E. j. Reese, w. j. Bertsch and NJ. c..
Matt. After heroic efforts to rescue
them alive by driving through 35 feet
of solid rock in about 35 hours, the body
of Reese was recovered from a crosscut
where the three men were working on
the second level, at S:45 O'Clock Sun
day night. No trace has yet been
found of the bodies of Bertsch and
Matt, who were caught in the ground
that caved, although diligent and
strenuous efforts have been constantly
made by the Consolidated management
ever since the cave occurred. Reese was
not caught by the cave, but was
smothered in the crosscut.
Bertsch was running a machine in
the breast of the crosscut which runs
out into solid ground beyond the caved
ground, and Matt and Reese were tram
ming from this crosscut and throwing
the dirt down the upraise to be used for
back filling. This vertical upraise was
put up from the fourth level of the
Hampton .stope, the back of the stope
being thirty feet above the level, which
is at a vertical depth of 230 feet. The
raise was up about even with the see
ond level, and a crosscut was being
driven IN, this level past the raise to
prove up the ground and secure rock
for back-flling the stope.
Efforts to Prevent Gazing.
Although systematic efforts had been
made to guard against caving by back
filing the Hampton stope, which was
square-setted for a width of from 10 to
100 feet and a length of approximately
$50 feet, the ground started to cav
above the fifth level, and this was al
most Immediately followed by caving
above the fourth and almost in the
.twinkling of an eye it had caved to the
surface, nearly 200 feet of solid ground
giving way, directly under tie lower
end of the Combination mill. Nine tanks
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-10-09

I-eyanide, settlers and agitating-
dropped down into the hole with theil
contents and were lost in a iumbled
mass of wreckage. No attempt will be
made to restore the mill, as its abau-
donment in the near future had already
been decided upon under plans for
"glory-holing'' the Combination vein
and also charging the capacity of the
Consolidated mill.
Had Warned the Men.
That the disaster did not involve
more men is due to the sound Judgment
at and timely action of General Man
ager Mackenzie and Superintendent
Andy Caravan, who Saturday morning
realized that the ground was getting
very heavy and before the men in the
crosscut at the top of the raise could
be warned, the great mass began to
crunch and soon eaved from the fifth
level to the surface.
The energies of the management of
the Consolidated and of every man who
could be worked to advantage was
then directed to the recovery of the
men who were buried in the debris.
When this has been accomplished atten-
ton will be turned to the mining ques-
tion. Practically all of the caved ground
is believed to be ore, and when min
ing operations are resumed this ore will
be taken out from the fourth level
which will be reopened, and one of the
most gigantic "glory-holes' in the
world will be created.
The Combination will will be torn
down and removed from the scene of its
wreck. The big hole in which the nine
tanks fell is now like a yawning chasm
that might have been made by an
earthquake, and is the mute evidence
on surface of what has happened un-
derneath.
Operations of the Consolidated mill
will not be hampered in any way by
the accident, and the regular dividends
of the Consolidated company will be
effected.
CAVERN Was Expected.
The testimony in short as given at
the inquest was that, while the open
ing up and filling of the Hampton
stope had been conducted in miner-like
fashion, a cave-in had been expected b.
the miners themselves, but it was
thought that such would be only local
and easily escaped. As the testimony
went to show, no one connected with or
working in the mine expected that the
would be in such a great mass,
so unbroken and extend to the surface
As the miners testified, they felt that
they would hear it coming by degrees
and easily escape.
The cave-in was expected on the
fourth level of the big stope, where
for several days the ground was no
ticed to be getting heavy, and some
timbers and tagging under the hang
ing wall breaking, but as stated by vari
GUS witnesses, the second level, free
from slopes, was thought to be perfect
ly safe and almost the last place in the
mine TO cave in. 1t was in a drift run
ming from this level that the decedent
Reese was found and also from the
level the two other miners, Matt
and Bertsch, engaged in dumping rock
for filing purposes from that level
down a raise into the Hampton stope,
were carried underneath the great mass
of rock.
Upper Levels Supposed Safe.
Witnesses testified that the timber on
the second level in no wise at any time
showed hat the ground above was get
