The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-04-24

Strings OF golu. some VI tHe ofo mas
been found to be rich in silver and
some of the richer specimens show large
quantities Of the white metal, which
occurs as a sulphide. The Ramsey
brothers have been beseiged with ap-
plications for leases.
A fourth strike should be chronicled
for Wonder hill, a discovery made on
the Anaconda Fraction, which adJoins
Wonder No. 9. j.. w. Halterman Of
Reno took over this property a few
days ago and already has uncovered
the extension of the Wonder No. 2
strike at a distance of about 400 feet
from the original discovery. Tests OF
the ore at this point have been made
and returns above $500 are the result.
The fraction contains the ledge for sew
eral hundred feet and it certainly looks
as though some large shipments will be
made at an early date.
Hits the sulphides.
Recent developments at the ComstocA
Lode Mining c%ompany's property,
known as the Red Mountain No. i, are
of far-reaching Importance to the dis
trict and car hardly be over estimated.
They have recently installed a 35-h. p.
hoist and are now sending the shaft
down with two shifts. The hole was
down So feet before the hoist arrived.
They have now entered the sulphide
ores with the result that everything IN
the shaft pans remarkably well and 1T
il estimated that a ledge 10 feet in
width will all pay to ship. This fine
strike in the sulphide zone proves ths
~permapency of the ore shoot and from
the further fact that it is improving
with every round of shots there Is
every reason to believe that phenomenal
showings will be made at this mine II
the next few weeks. The Red Noun
tain ledge extends through the district
for thousands of feet and is one of the
main arteries of the belt. The mine is
located about 1000 feet from the Won
der group and some of the rich veins
on the latter property are heading for
the company's shaft. A campaign of
most active development is on with an
ample treasury to carry on the rock.
The Alice Queen mine, owned by ii.
s. Pohe and George Waite, is being
steadily developed. The ground in the
immediate neighborhood of the work
ings is alive with rich veins and the
owners are now engaged in sinking a
winze on one of these that is nothing
less than high grade from the surface
down. There is no question that there
is shipping ore in this fine vein and
some of the richest Mornings seen in
the camp are made from it. They have
a 65-foot shaft and some long drifts
and crosseuts run and in all the work
ings good results are obtained. The
property is one of very great promise.
Leasers Are Elated.
Leasers on the Hawk Nest claim, a
property belonging to the Wire Cold
Mining and Milling company, are elat-
ed over the appearance of things in a
tunnel they are driving. The face
shows ore, a sulphide product, that
surely pans gold in a liberal way. They
are fast accommodating a dump of ship
ping ore and an initial shipment is not
far away. The company announces
that a mill is to be erected before fall
to handle the milling grade ores. A
ledge hundreds of feet wide occurs on
this property. just above the lease
adjoining it-other leasers are operat-
ing on the Silk Hat claim. They are
now engaged in driving a c~rosscut from
the bottom of a 50-foot shaft to catch
the same ore shoot uncovered lower
down. This property is owned by the
Fairview-Mizpah Mining company.
The Garavanta mine is again under
steady development. They are now en-
ga ged in sinking a shaft from the 1l2-
foot level and are down about 10 feet
from that station. Another 100 feet
will be sunk before prosecuting. The
ledge at the first crosscut is over so
feet wide and contains a milling pro-
duet ore very uniform in character, all
of which will pay well to work with a
plant installed at the mine. There are
other mountainous deposits of low grade
ore on the group. The property is locat-
ed about five miles south of here toward
Virginia City.
