Peak company is largely held by Lo.
Angeles people, and there is an ample
fund in the treasury to prosecute de
velopment work. A large sum Of none,
was injudiciously expended by former
managers of the company, but the pres
ent management is going ahead on :
'businesslike basis, and there is no rea
son why they should not make a sue
cess of it. The property has a large
body of low grade ore which has been
thoroughly demonstrated to be a good
milling proposition. The Goldfeld- Sill
YER Peak ought to make one of the
greatest mines in Nevada when de
veloped.

AT SILVER CITY
UNCOVERS NEW ORE BODY

VIRGINIA CITY, New, Oct. "a
Reliable information comes from Silver
City today that a new ore body has been
opened up in the Overland mine in that
thriving camp, the extent of which
promises to put the mine on its feet
again in a very short period of time.
That the ore body uncovered is of the
kind that is reassuring to the manage
ment there is no doubt and great i'm.
portance is attached to the latest strike.
The ore has been found in a west drift
from the 700-foot level of the shaft,
and it was stated this morning that
enough work had been done in the
chute of ore to satisfy the superinten-
dent that a good milling was in sight.
The assay values of the find was not
given, but it is an Improvement over
anything yet opened up. Work is be
ing done now to develop the extent
of the deposit.

shaft sunk to the 500-foot level, an
electric hoist and a ten-stamp mill was

shops built, a boarding house and offices
constructed, all of which vas of cor
rugated iron. No money or expense
was spared to equip the mine both
above and below ground with every
modern convenience for economical and
.up-to-date mining.
The upper levels have been well
worked out, and the Overland has ex-
tracted and milled an average of 1000
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-10-30

tons a week, for the past two or three
years. But the ore was not of high
enough grade to return dividends
on the investment and it was feared
that the Eastern people interested
would become worried and be discour
aged and shut the mine down. The mill,
in fact, has been hung up for the past
three or four months.
Since Prof. j. w. Phillips took charge
as superintendent the shaft has been
sunk to the 7O0-foot level and new ore
is now in sight as a result. The man
agement is to be congratulated upon
the perseverance displayed in staying
with the proposition to date, and it is
believed that a new era is ahead for
the Overland. The mine was bought for
$40, 900, and at least another $4,000
was expended in equipment.
The renewal of life at the Over
land is of special interest in this city
as the mine is in clearly a southeasterly
extension of the easterly vein system
of the Comstock, which is developing
good properties in the Brunswick dis.
trict and undoubtedly extends through
to the Silver City country.
A great deal of ore is being taken
out of Silver City at present, and
for the most part of leasers Con
spicuous in the number is the lease OF
the MINIS brothers on the Underground
mine, which is located only a short dis
lance to the north Of the Overland.
They are doing unusually well and
stand to make a big winning. That is
the condition all through the district.

GOLDF|ELDSuVER
PEAK Mill SUCCESS

c. r. Miller, manager of the Gold6eld-
Silver Peak company at Coyote Springs
says that the Hoyt rifle boards recently
installed in the 10-stamp mill have
proven to be very satisfactory, saving
so per cent of the values, and that the
cyanide plant will be abandoned. The
mill started yesterday with a single
shift of employees, but it will begin to
run two shifts in about ten days.
The shaft is down about 225 feet and
will be sunk about 200 feet further.
Drifting from the lower level is now IN
progress, and will be continued about
400 feet to the north and about 70 feet
to the south. Eleven men are employed
and this force will be doubled in the
future.

Two weeks ago when this paper an

PANAMINT VEIN HAS BEEN
CUT IN THE FROST SHAFT

Frost shaft broke into it. The ore

doubt in the minds Of the men familiar
with the district, but that this his

the Bodie incline and other workings.
The latest work done on this ledge,
and closest to the point where 1t has
been reopened in the Frost shaft, was
in the Kelly and Floyd lease. This
was in 1882 and the ledge was broken
down on the east to within 100 feet of
the Frost. The entire break of the
ledge was milled by these leasers and
the usual shoots Of high grade ruby
that are common to this section swelled
the profits to a handsome figure.

that has happened in twenty years.
was the remark made by Senator East
on when he heard Of the strike. "Therc
is no doubt at all but that there will
be more values come from this vein
through the Frost shaft than was ever
taken from the Bodie incline or the
Curtis workings. The Austin Manhat-
tan company il in shape to handle the
ore cheaper than ore was ever handled
in this camp before. This is the be-
ginning of a new Austin"
Mine Superintendent James Humes is
elated with the showing and will lose
no time in starting drifts on the vein
to thoroughly exploit it on both sides

STRICKEN ON WAY

ATTY. R. A. HILL OF CARRlNCTOh
SUCCUMBS TO SUDDEN ATTACK
OF HEART TROUBLE.

Darlington, N. D., Oct. o.
Atty. r. A. Hill, one of the old
settlers, formerly of jamestown,
died last night about 1890 p. NJ,
while he was returning from the
Eastern Star lodge with bis wife
and company of friends. He
was suddenly stricken when about
a block from his home and had to
be carried the remainder of the
distance and expired almost i'm
mediately on reaching the house.
Mr.. Hill was prominent in
Masonic circles, having taken a
very active interest in Masonic
work for many years. He has a
wide acquaintance over the state
and friends in nearly every
town in the state. A peculiar
coincident of his death is that he
is the last of the three candidates
before the June primaries of 1908.
The first to die was an intimate
friend, George House, who was
the successful candidate and who
died before election. The second
was Axel Nelson of Barlow, and
Mr.. Hill was the last of the three.

CASS LANDS MAY

COMMISSIONER BROWN AND SHERIFF
BOYLE CONFER WITH The
STATE OFFICIALS.

Fargo, N. D., Oct., 30.-Drainage
Commissioner Brown and Sheriff
Boyle of this county appeared te-
fore Governor Burke and Land
Commissioner Mcdonald at Bis
marck yesterday and received as
surances from these gentlemen
that they would do everything in
their power to have the state
board of school lands withdraw
the leased lands in this county
from sale.
Messrs. Brown and Boyle repre-
sented a number of lessees of the
school lands of this county. Mr..
Brown informed the state officials
that he had leased school lands and
had summer fallowed them last
summer preparatory to the crop
next year. If these lands were to
be sold as advertised it would
work a great injustice to him and
he did not believe the state could
afford to take action. He pointed
out that if the lands were with
held from market till the expi-
ration of the leases they would
then be even more valuable than
now and as the state school fund
did not need the money, the best
interests of the lessees would be
conserved by postponing the sale.
Mr.. Brown represented thirty
five other lessees.
While the full board was not
in session it is thought very
probable the other members will
take the same view as Governor
Burke and Commissioner Nc
Donald. In that event the sale
advertised in this county for
December II will not be held.

SCENES OF ACCIDENTAL RAIL,
ROAD DEATHS

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1.-Two fa-
tai accidents took place Saturday,
one at Moorehead, and the other
at Dilworth.
About 2:3O Oscar Olmstad, a
brakeman on the Great Northern,
met with injuries that resulted in
his death.
There was some switching going
on in the yards of the Great North
ern and one car was left on the
siding that didn't just ''clear.'' Mr..
Olmstad was riding another car
down the track and was hanging
on the side arm He was caught
between the car he was on and the
one on the siding with the result
that he was terribly squeezed. He
was picked up unconcious, but re-
covered in about ten minutes and
as it was seen he was terribly in
jured he was hurried to the Moore
head hospital where everything
possibly was done for him, but he
passed away. He was about 21
years of age and was son of NJ.
Olmstad, who resides at Houston,
MINI.
Coroner Vincent of Moorehead
was called to Dilworth, a short
distance east Of Moorhead, to view
the remains of an unknown man
whose body was found almost cut
to pieces alongside the tracks Of
the Northern Pacific.
1t is supposed that the man was
stealing ride, and in some man
ner fell off the car he was riding
on and was ground to pieces.
The coroner could learn but very
little IF the case, but found that
the deceased had been travelling
with some man, and that the latter
on missing his companion, had left
the train at Glyndon.
