GOOD COAL PROSPECTS
FOUND NORTH OF BLAIR

Twenty miles north of Blair, VIM.
Petty is developing a coal prospect thai
has more merit han anything hereto
fore found in the region about Coaldala,
where coal prospects have caused many
thousands of dollars to be spent in a
vein endeavor to find a marketable
article.
Rumors of the find have sifted in 10
us for some time past, but there has al
. way been too much mystery about the
matter to give them credence. Within
the past few days, however, samples OF
the article being found have been
brought to Blair, and something tangi
Bile has been learned, says the Press.
The find is about six miles westerly
of Blair Junction, where Nj. Petty has
been at work with several men for
some time and has a shaft down on the
vein 200 feet or more, and the vein of
coal is about twelve feet in width. The
samples shown are very much superior
to anything heretofore found in that
region and burn freely, with little ASH
and no clinkers. On the surface the
ledge, upon which the work is being
done, was the same width as shown at
the bottom of the shaft, but samples
would not burn under any conditions.
The quality has steadily improved until
now the coal burns very rapidly, giving
out u good heat.
There are several other groupings on
the mountain side. above and below
that upon which work is being done,
some of them being from twenty to
thirty feet in width, and Mr.. Petty is
of the opinion that "a vast deposit of an
excellent quality of bituminous coal
will be found at the junction of the
veins. The groupings extend for a dis
tance of several thousand feet in each
direction from where the locations were
made. In following the vein down \
fault was found at a depth of 100 feet.
the vein raising upward a distance Of
several feet, which was followed, the
dip again becoming almost perpendien-
lar.
Several local people have visited the
locality lately and staked claims which
they are preparing to develop.
With the oil discoveries TO the east
of US, and the coal to the north, and
both within a few miles, it does not re-
quire any great stretch of imagination
to see that Blair is destined to become
the metropolis of Esmeralda, if not of
the state, within a very few years.

BALD MOUNTAIN MAY BE
SCENE OF GREAT PLACERS

Nearly everybody in Manhattan has
the placer mining craze. The Mail says
that those who have neglected to ''get
in' on some of the choice proven
ground in the Manhattan and tributary
gulches are casting about with a view
to finding other likely spots where the
shining nuggets may be found buried
deep beneath the sands and wash from
the surrounding gold bearing mountains.
1t remained for a ''tenderfoot, a
sailor boy, to make this discovery, if
discovery it maye prove to be.
During the summer w. S. Samuels,
Jr., did some prospecting in the north
ern belt, in the vicinity of Bald Moun-
tain. He located a number of claims
upon which float can be found carving
free gold. Since the rich placer dig
gings in Manhattan guleh are proving
up so well, Mr.. Samuels has been doing
some thinking. He reasons that if COL
can be found in the gulches leading
down from the hill sides where are To-
Gated the rich, free milling lodges at
Manhattan, why not under similar con
ditions at Bald Mountain, where gold
is found on the surface almost every
wherein float, in the soil on the hill
sides, and in the rich stringers and big
lodges that are now being developed on
the sherman property, the Morning
Star, the Rosy Hopes, X-Ray, Brown
Dog, the Wild Bill, Gold Fox, Sunshine.
Tarish properties, and many othersl
There is one big, main draw lead
ing down to the west, towards Smoky
Valley which acts as a drainage for All
that section of country lying west of
Bald Mountain said Mr.. Samueis,
land so confident am l that rich placer
dlggings will be found there. similar to
Manhattan guleh, that l and my asso-
crates nave located a number of claims
IN this draw and will proceed to pros
peet the ground in a systematic man
ner. We have taken an outfit to tho
ground, will make camp and proceed to
sink a shaft to bedrock. There is sim
ply nothing to it; the gold is there and
we are going to get it. Mark my words
the next placer excitement in tho
Manhattan district will be in the viein.

HAS NEW IDEA in SAVING
FINE GOLD BY ADHESION


A new line of experiment has been
recently taken up by j. d. Luttrell of
Benton Harbor, Mich, based on the
idea of securing some medium or ma
terial which would more securely retain
the mercury on copper plates in gold
milling. and that, in such a form as not
to entirely e~nvelop the gold particles,
but still hold it securely until it may
be released as an individual particle
and not as amalgam.
Following this idea, he has produced
a compound Incorporating disseminated
particles of mercury which are indie
pendent of one another. This com
pound. when made, is plastic and can
be used as a coating on a plate, Hat
surface or on the inner surface OF =
cylinder. On standing, the material
hardens to any desired degree of den
sity, according to the proportion of the
ingredients, and as the mercury 5
evenly distributed through it, there
are thousands of particles presenting
bright faces at the surface, as attach
ing points for the gold.
In that the materials of the com
pound, the nature of which has not beel
disclosed to the public. have a very
high affinity for the mercury, ii is quite
difficult, if not impossible, to break
them loose from their seating, as they
are supported on all sides, thus rcdue-
ing loss to a minimum.
The surface of the compound, when
ready fer operation, has the texture and
feel of a moderately rough eemorr
condition for deterring the rapid pas
sage of pulp over it. This roughness
tends to ron the particles and keeps
them constantly climbing oven 90
stacles.
1t has been demonstrated and deter
mined that when particles of gold be
come attached to the mercury particles,
they can be readily brushed of from
the surface by passing a tuft of cotton
batting over it and the gold is recov.
cred as dust. Based ON this fact. the
inventor proposes to use a large eylin-
der having a coating Of the eompannl
ON the inside. as probably the best for !
of machine.

ORE BODIES OPENED
IN TONOPAH'S BIG MINES

pod plnme a total of 49l feet OF new
ground having been broken during thc
past week, divided as follows: Silver
Ton claim. 204 feet; Mizpah, 2f'fa
feet; Red Plume, 39E feet. This pro
gress is entirely outside of the work
done in the several slopes throughout
! the property and is certainly setting d
fast mace. The work of roaming having
been completed in the drill hole being
sent down from the 740-foot level OF the
Silver Top claim at a point a few feet
from the shaft, the drill began boring
from the bottom of the hole iast
Wednesday, and it is hoped by the man
agement that good progress Will oe
made from now on. The bottom of the
hole is now 25s feet below the 74O-foot
level and will be sent down as fast as
possible i'm order to learn the formation
at depth.
The pump which is to be installed IN
the Mizpah shaft was shipped last
Thursday and should arrive here some
time next week. A station is being cut
on the north side of the shaft at the
I 200 foot point in which to install the
pump and will be completed before the
arrival of the machinery. The pump
ordered will have a capacity of 200
gallons a minute and will be run by
electricity. As the present flow is but
Is gallons a minute, it will be seen that
the pump to be installed will be able
to take care of a vastly increased flow.
Will Resume Sinking
1t is expected that the pump will be
installed and everything in readiness
to resume sinking by the first of
March, when no time will be lost IN
sending the shaft down to the 1900
foot point, and probably deeper, much
depending upon the results obtained.
The stump in the bottom of the Red
Plume shaft is being unwatered, there
being about 6 feet of surface water
there, and preparations are in progress
to send the shaft down to a depth co..
responding with the 700-foot level OF
the Mizpah.
At a point equalling the 666-foot level
of the Mizpah, or about 100 feet below
the present bottom of the Red Plume
shaft, some low grade ore was encoun-
@awo1 ~, +In Hill capf 1nun raeantly
1t is the intention to cut a station n
the Red Plume shaft when this depth
is attained and send out drifts to pros
pect the vein encountered and make
connection with the workings of the
Mizpah on the 600-foot level, which are
now directly opposite and to the south
of the Red Plume shaft. An effort will
also be made to find the veins whicl
should connect the ore bodies found on
the Mizpah claim with those developed
near the Tonopak Extension line. Thus
it will be seen that there is much inn
portant work planned out, which there
is every reason to believe will produce
good results. While the ore bodies
which have been called upon to produce
over 5000 tons a week to keep their
100 stamp mill running constantly still
show up strong in the Slopes and drifts,
Superintendent Blackburn is losing no
time in developing new ore bodies and
sending out crosscuts in search of
others and thoroughly prospecting the
ground belonging to the company, Il
large block of which is still virgin.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-01-30

the bottom of the Wine have male
good progress. and the showing of ore
resembles a glory hole in its true
sense. the ore body showing a width 81
Is feet as il crosses the drift diagon'
allv. the ledge cut at right angles being
fully IL feet wide. In the cutting out
and starting of this stope there appears
to he no limit to the ore, as it is in EVIL
dencc in the bottom, in the top and on
both sides.
The raise on this ore body was sent
nm and made connection with the 1000
foot level, a distance of 127 feet on the
pitch of the ledge, and the whole work
ings were in ore all the way, thus prov
ing the largest block of ore ever dis
covered in the mine. While all of this
ore is of an excellent milling grade,
there are spots and streaks of vesy
high grade, making the whole body a
fine milling product, which will go 10
the mill without any sorting whatever.
AS the vein shows strongly in the bot
tom of the drift, the management has
no idea how far below the 1,lOo-foot
leve, the ore continues, but no doubt
development along that line will be
pushed in the near future.
C~rosscutting for Air
Beyond the opening up of the large
ore bodies on the 1.100-foot level, prob
ably the most important work now GO
ing on is in the east crosscut north OF
the Mizpah fault, which is being sent
out to get under the old Belmont shaft,
with which connection will be made rs
soon as possible in order to obtain q
better circulation of air in the lower
workings. something which is badly
needed at present and which VIII pe
absolutely necessary before work can
be carried on at lower depth. 1t =
more than probable that a crosscut VIII
be sent out in an easterly direction
from the 1.IOOfoot level of the shaft tG
connect with the workings on that level
from the bottom of the Wine, which
would make a great saving in tram
ming. as the lowest workings are now
reached by a circuitous route, and
which would also aid materially IN
furnishing better air in the lower por-
tions of the mine.
An excellent showing has been made
in the raise from the east drift from
the winze on the 1,100-foot level. This
raise is now up SO feet and has ex-
posed an average of 5 feet of good
milling ore all the way. There is no
doubt but that this raise is going up IN
the same ore body that is exposed by
the raise from the west drift, fully lou
feet distant. and is almost conclusive
proof of the vast extent of the pay
shoot. Developments of a pleasing ma
ture are taking place in other portions
Of the mine and a good showing of ore
is being obtained. On the l,Ooo-fo' IT
level the south vein was cut of In the
west drift by a fault, but this week the
ore body was again encountered, bigger
and bett sr than before, showing fully
5 feet of oxidized milling ore in the
face of the drift. During the past
week a total of 155 feet of new ground
was broken in development work.

Big Ore in Belmont

The work of opening up the vast ore
baaics- encountered on the l,loo-foot
level of the Belmont continues and pro
eress is being made as fast as men ana
machinery can do it. As the operations
are carried on the value of the diseov-
erv becomes greater, as the ore bodies

give every indication of still further
strength. The preparations which are

The two new ore bodies encountered
by the Montana on the 465 and 515-foot
levels have been drifted upon AMI
opened up during the past week for
several feet, with results that are en-
tirely satisfactory. On the 465-foos
level drifting east and west of the
point where the vein was encountered
las progressed to the distance of 2s
feet, showing ore all the way, though
in the east drift the ledge has pinehed
down to less than a foot, while the face
of the west drift shows is inches, all of
which is high grade ore. Further work
on the new strike on the 5I5-foot level
has developed the fact that the crosscut
cut the vein diagonaliy, and while IT
showed fully 10 feet of ore, the vein
has been proven to be about . feet
wide, all of which is good milling ore.
Drifting is now in progress east ami
west of the erosscut, with both faces
exposing ) feet of ore. The vein is a
strong one, with good walls, and gives
every promise of furnishing a good ton
mage of ore. From all appearances the
ledge cut on the 5l5-foot level is a con-
.tinuation of the Triangle vein opened
up ON the 390-foot level and just en-
countered on the i65- foot level. Should
this be a fact, an excellent block OF
stopping ground will be the result. While
active work has been in progress on
other levels OF the mine, there IS no
particular change to note, the various
ore bodies yielding the usual amount OIL
