GOLDFTELD'S MINERAL ZONE
IS CONSTANTLY EXPANDING
Discoveries on Gold Bar Ground Doubly Significant
---f1igh Grade Gold and Copper Veins OF Good
Size Promise Wonders for the District

n more convenient place along the drift where
pections could be made with upraise from the 300
foot level
Strike Develops Rapidly
Another winze was then started and sunk 80 feet
and from there drift is being sent back into the
under the 200-foot level Values have been climbing
rapidly during the last week. until there is
room to doubt that it is of the best and most i'm
portant strikes which has been made public in Gold
field in many months.
A crosscut is being driven from the 300-foot level
to tap rich body at that depth, and this may
be accomplished any round of holes Shipments will
be once, there is already large ton
mage extracted.
Aside from its immediate and future value as a
shipper its greatest Importance lies in the wide ex-
pansion of the proven rich of Goldfed which
is stretched full half mile by this discovery.
Ore Heavy in Copper
One of the interesting features of this body is
the heavy percentage of copper which it carries, not
only with the rich just opened but also
through the big body low grade material previously
developed. For considerable distances along the 200
foot 1eve could be stopped that will run per cent
copper $I5 gold per ton, while there are eonsi
cradle quantities of suphides associated with the
richer ore that will run 20 per cent copper. Manager
Koontz places great confidence in this feature in
dicatng unusual strength and permanency'of ore ami
good values and this he is sustained by the past
history of Goldfeld mines.
More active operations will now be inaugurated On
the Gold Bar main workings by pushing development
from the bottom of the 300foot shaft and also pros
Meeting some very promising showngs the 20ofoot
level There is good body of pay ore in the bottom
of the shaft which will be opened to greater DEPTH
and drifting will also be instituted from the 5oofoot
level The Gold Bar has shipped from past develop
ment in the neighborhood of $4,000.
This strike has raised the hopes of easers ON the
qC O. d. Consolidated estate in this immediate vicinity,
and renewed impetus will be in evidence forthwith
