RAISING ON VEIN
DISCOVERS BLIND LEDGE ON
GOOD HOPE
Have Found Key to Ore System
of Randsburg Mine on
200 Level

The Consolidated Mines company of
Los Angeles. which is operating a
group of properties at Randsburg.
seems to have discovered the key to
the ore bearing assures within it's
lines and promises to enter the list of
producers in that famous camp at no
distant day. superintendent McMa-
hon writes from the mine that he is
raising on a promising shoot of ore
which was encountered in driving a
cross-cut on the 200-foot level from
the Little Wedge shaft. The ledge,
which is a blind one, is about four feet
between walls and on the hanging wall
there is six inches of ore of a fine
milling grade, the paintings indicating
values of $25 per ton, some of them
running up to s100.
So far as development work has been
carried since the ledge was encoun-
tered, Mr. McMahon believes that its
course will carry it through the Good
Hope, 400 and Wedge claims of the
company. giving the Consolidated APP
proximately 1900 feet on it's course.
Following the usual ore occurrences in
that camp several good shoots OF ore
should be developed. The company has
also extended the S00foot drift II
within a short distance of this dis
covery. 1t is Mr.. McMahon's plan tn
locate the apex OF the vein and sink
a new shaft.
superintendent McMahon has mined
in Randsburg for twelve years and IS
considered one of the best miners in
that district, being thoroughly flmiliar
with the characteristics of the Rands-
burg mines. He is a heavy stock
holder in the company and pays tho
regular assessment on a large blc ok
of stock. The officers of the company
are all Los Angeles men. C. J. Lehman
is president. w. G. Hunt, vice presi-
dent and G. w. Beck. secretary and
treasurer, and these with J. J. Ber-
gin, J. r. Brink. H. F. Norcross and
j. w. Oakley form the board of di-
rectors. Regular assessments are
levied to provide funds for develop
ment work
