The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-03-13

Pioneer, March 12-The most notable
development of the week at Pioneer
Lave been the strike of enormously rich
ore in the 300-foot level of the May
flower mine, the showing which the new
mill on this property is making; steady
shipping from the Pioneer lease, and
much development work on the various
leases. Further than that the Pioneer
lease is finding richer ore on the 210
level as work progresses, there is moth
ing of interest connected with that
lease save that a compressor plant and
more powerful hoist are expected 20
arrive on the ground next week.
Townsite activities have been rather
dull during the week, but a revival of
interest is expected soon. The new Hol-
land hotel will be opened in Pioneer
next Monday, and large crowd of San
Francisco and Los Angeles, as well as
Tonopah, Reno and Goldfield men, are
to arrive to attend the opening cere-
monies, and to put in few days look
ing over the camp with view to in
vestment. During the week there have
been number of men representing mid
die western and eastern coteries of in

vestors, in camp, quietly looking over
the situation, and with hardly an ex-
ception they are favorably impressed
with the new bonanza camp and will
recommend its properties to the people
whom they represent.
Rickard Lease.
Tex Rickard s lease on the X. X.
claim of Tobin Brothers and about 200
feet up the hill above the working
shaft of the Pioneer lease, has been the
subject of quite bit of newspaper talk
of late, especially as Rickard himself
is so well known. Although the work
on the lease is practically just getting
started, assays from one of the breciat
ed rhyolite lodges which crop out exten-
sively on his block show values of some
$40 per ton, and at only about eight
feet in depth. The shaft is being sunk
in rhyolite, but there are some high
ly silicified stringers, which seem to
carry the values and point to better
things beneath. Rickard has had big
force of men building good road to
his lease, and now foundations are being
prepared for the hosting plant which
he has ON the ground

FERGUSON PUSHING WORK
ON THE CONGO TUNNEL

Under the direction of Donald Fergu-
son, work is being pushed along on
the Congo tunnel, which has now cut It's
way into Black Cap mountain, a dis
tance of over 500 feet. number of
very promising veins have been cut by
the big bore, and Mr.. Ferguson is ex-
peeting to cut something much better
within short time. This enterprise IS
pronounced by many mining men to be
one of the most important develop
ments ever undertaken in the Goldfeld
district, and this opinion was fully con
eurle ed in by the noted expert, William
A. Parish, during his recent visit to
Goldfeld, during which he inspected the

A. A. CODD TO REORGANlZE
ST. IVES LEASING COMPANY

to make the st. Ives Leasing company
a success, and for that purpose l re-
Gently secured group of six claims, OF
proven worth, in the Fast Walker River
mining district, to make permanent
asset for the company. Since putting
those claims into the leasing company,
the board of directors, including my
self, have decided to make complete
reorganization, for the benefit of all
concerned.
"All stockholders in the leasing COM
pany will receive share for share in the
new organization, which will be capt.
talized at 100000 shares of a par
value of 81 each, and which we intend
to make one Of the strongest mining
corporations in the west. A charge OF
one cent per share will be made for the
expense of reorganization, pay debts
and provide fund for the purpose of
starting the work of building mill on
our East Walker River property. All
stock is to be pooled until there IS
$4,000 in the treasury, and there Will
be no promotion stock whatever.
81 consider the East Walker River
property, known as the Potlatch group,
a very valuable asset, and one that VIII
make a great deal of money for the
company. Under the ne wplan, we also
propose to acquire other good proper
tics wherever it is possible for us to 30

mines as have every earmark OF max

that 1 recently took from the Potiatci
group gave an average of $2l.l4 pei

assured. -

silver is apparent in specimens.
The Daisy vein is as strong and well
defined as can be found in the camp,
and shows great persistence of ore
bodies, with good regularity of enrich
ment. If the property has at times
been discredited, it was very largely
due to other causes than any real fault
of the mine Itself, so far as the exist
enee of ore is concerned. Under cape-
BILE management, which it now seems to
have, the Daisy certainly gives unmis
taxable evidence that it can be maze
a mine of great Importance and gener-
Gus production.
Manager Wilkinson is gradually get
ting everything into splendid working
condition, and there is every reason to
believe that the Daisy is now on the
road to an energetic and profitable fn-
ture.

A new era, which promises well for
success, is in sight for the stockholders
of the st. Ives Leasing company, by
the reorganization of that corporation
into the Codd Mines company, plan

the purpose of strengthening its assets
and protecting the interests of those
who have invested in his promotions.
In explanation of the new deal, Mr..
Codd said:
During the past six months it has

ing stock to carry on development, and
especially so with leasing company.

SHAFT ON GRIZZLY BEAR
IS GOING DOWN RAPIDLY

Good progress is being made in the
sinking of the shaft of the Grizzly
Gear Mining company ON the grizzly
Bear claim, and the shaft is now down
below the 800 point. Before the 400
level is reached, it is expected that
the Clermont vein will be caught on
it's dip, and as it is known that the
rake of one of the big ore shoots is
toward this territory, the management
il hopeful of encountering ore with the
shaft. Laterals will be driven on the
vein as soon as it is cut.
From this point the shaft will be con-
tinued to a depth of at least 600 feet
to pick up other veins that are known
to enter this book of ground on thsir
dip.

DAISY AGAIN IN LIST
OF BIG SHIPPING MINES

Under the direction of Superinten1-
ent Charles Wilkinson, the Daisy mine
at Diamondfield is rapidly being
brought back into an important position
as producer, and it will soon demon
strate that it is capable of making
record of no small proportions
large quantity of high grade ore
is being produced from the l50, 30 and
300 levels, and steady shipments are
being made to the Nevada Goldfield Re
duction works, the average returns be
ing about $3.50 per ton. On the $50 and
30 levels slopes are being opened in
ore, three to five feet wide, that runs
from 800 to $780, and there are spots
that carry much higher values. There
is considerable tellurium in some of it,,
and values will go up to $3.50 and $1,000
per ton by assay.
Development work is being carried
ahead systematically on all levels, and
the main shaft is being pushed down
from 400 to 700 feet at the rate OF
about five feet day The l50, 2lO and
800 levels have been thoroughly cleaned
I'd and retimbered, and the levels con
nected by raises for ventilation and
safety. There is great deal OF very
bad ground through the mine, and the
swelling of it compels constant vigil
ance in timbering. In places, old drifts
closed up entirely on the $50 and 2lo
levels while they were idle on account
of the heavy flow of water, but now
that the ground is drained by the lower
levels. they have been again opened and
are actively producing. The output u
the mine for the first seven days OF
March was sufficient to pay all operat
ing expenses for the entire month.
A peculiar lap in the ore shoot OF
tie cross vein at the 800 level seems u
have not been successfully figured ou
by formcs s9perintendents, but Mr
Wilkinson has solved the puzzle ON thi
level, and is directing work on the 4o
along new lines which will recover tn
ore at that depth.
One of the surprises of recent deve
opment has been the discovery OF
body of si;ver-copper ore on the AZ
level. 1t is secondary formation, an
appears TO be of an extensive and pc
manent character. Some of the ore a

1t looks as though the Riekard lease
Las every chance in the world to make
good, as his location is at the junction
of two or three well defined ledges and
cross assures, and his shaft should cut
two or three good veins which outcrop
lower down the hill, and which have
been proved up to some extent.
Chambers Leases.
b. III. Chambers, formerly of Gold
field, has two promising looking leases,
they being on blocks 3 and 4 of the
Boulder claim of the Los Angeles Bull
frog Gold Mining company. These
blocks lie some 500 feet southeast Of
the shaft of the Pioneer Leasing com
pany, down the hill and practically in
the center of the townsite. On one of
these blocks the company has down 40
foot double compartment shaft, but has
stopped work on this for the time be-
ing in order to do other development
work The showings from this shaft
have been very encouraging, giving
