GOLDFIELD MEN in ATSYLVANITE

A. p. Irvine of Goldfeld, who has
been investigating the Sylvanite dis
trict in New Mexico, has purchased the
Ellee claim, which is located about 1000
feet east of the town of Sylvanite, and
cover a vein about four feet wide car
rying promising surface values. FL
Paso capitalists are interested with Mr..
Irvine. A substantial cash payment
was made and development of the prop
crty will be commenced Immediately.
j. l.. McGowan, another Goldfield
operator, has also become interested in
the camp and purchased a large inter
est in the Sylvanite Consolidated com
pany's property, which is said to be one
of the most promising in the camp. In
following the pay shoot opened at sur
face the ore has widened with depth un
til it now measures five feet of shipping

of increasing in width as the wall is
approached. Wherever work is done on
the pay shoots they show increase in
width and values as depth is reached.
A main working shaft is now being
sunk and has reached a depth of twenty
feet and it is estimated that twenty
more feet of sinking will cut the ore
body. The company has now completed
plans for the construction of ore bins
and will install grizzlies, let the con
tract for building the road to the work
ings and commence regular shipments,
and there are now about 400 sacks of
ore on the dump which are rapidly be-
ing added to.
Mr.. McGowan returned from there
this week but expects to put in con
siderable time at Sylvanite and take an
active interest in the management of
the mine. Marvin Ish and Sol Camp
are interested with Mr.. McGowan.
Colonel Hebron, a former well known
Goldiield operator, is also acquiring
valuable holdings in the new camp.
