INCREASE NOTED
IN LOCAL MINE ACTIVITY

This revival of leasing operations
is but the forerunner of what may he
confidently anticipated within the next
year, and the good results that have
already come to some of them and the
splendid promise which marks the 9TH
ers can not fail to arouse general and
earnest consideration on the part of
many of the mining men who will visit
Goldield during the next week or ten
days. The production of the big mines
is proof positive of the wonderful
richness and naturalization of the
Goldfeld district, and the millions OF
dollars taken out in record breaking
time by some of the old leases in the
earlier history of the camp are cenvinc-
ing evidence of what can he done I'M
der intelligent operations. The leas-
ing system still has many attractive
opportunities around Goldfield, and
these opportunities will not remain
idle indefinitely. They are such offer
ings as capital is seeking and is bound
to take advantage of when they are
fully realized, so that the outlook for
increased activities by leasers is of a
most encouraging nature.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-09-25

That there is a steady increase IN
mining activities around Goldfield Is
demonstrated by the fact that within
the past five months approximately
fifteen new leases have Teen started
up or work resumed on old ones that
had Teen temporarily closed. Among
these are the Morrison or Golden
Daisy, the Willard & Jones, the Coch-
rane, the Durgan and the Speaker
leases on the Daisy, the Burke lease
en- the Belmont, the Goldfield Annex
on the Poleverde, the Lister lease on
the c. o. d., the Century and Nevada
Eastern leases on the Atlanta, and
half a dozen leases on the Wingfield
properties at the north end of the dis
@trict, including the May Queen, Sand
storm and C%onqueror. Shipments are
being made from more than half of
them, and it seems but a question of
time when the Others will join the
ranks of steady producers, as will also
several others that have been in ope
ration for a greater period, frs. among
which is likely to be the Cherokee
lease on the Atlanta.

EASTERN CAPITAL TURNING
ATTENTION TO GOLDFIELD

ering is going to help Goldfeld very
much, for it will prove to the repre-
sentative mining men of the country
that Goldfeld is the premier gold min
ing camp of the world. Nevada will
lie benefited in a broad and general
way, for many of the visitors will take
side trips into various camps to inspect
the mining resources which they will be
attracted to by the exhibit of ore at the
Mineral Palace.
81 am certainly very optimistic as
10 the future of Goldfeld and | believe
that it will show a steady and strong
upward trend from this time, and its
mining activities will grow and ex-
pand."

rivals in the placer fields of Alaska, go

few white men in that country. lie

merchandise across Chilcoot pass built
his own boats to go down Bennett lake,
and arrived in Dawson when there were
only 400 people there. He was the dis-
coverer of the Nazina plaeers on Copper
river, and was one of the first owners
of the great copper properties now cor
trolled by the -Guggenheims, and in
which he is still interested. Mr.. Blei
came into Goldfeld by freight wagon
in the early days of the camp, and
has become heavily interested in mining
properties in Esmeralda county. He has
a force of about thirty men doing as
sessment work IN his properties, and
keeps ten men in the field prospecting.

The board OF equalization decided
last Tuesday to let the $500 assessment
ON all patented claims stand as against
the protest of the Consolidated Mines
company. The action taken will un-
doubtedly result in the matter being
taken to law for a final settlement.
The constitutional provision, liking
such a tax, and which went into effect
for the first time this year, reads N
part as follows: Each patented min
shall be assessed at not less than $500,
in addition to the tax on net proceeds,
except when 800 in labor has been
actually performed on each patented
mine during the year.
The object of the enactment was
obviously to encourage development
work and 10 impose a tax on the own
ers of patented mining property who
allow their holdings to remain idle. The

who has for several years been heavily
Interested in mining propositions In
Esmeralda county. Mr.. Biei has been
identified with Goldfeld since before
the advent of the railroads, and is a
frequent visitor to this part of the
country. He owns the Emancipation
property heal the Consolidated mill,
controls the Atlantic Pacific and Cop
peropolis groups at Lone Mountain, near
Blair, his holdings in that neighborhood
comprising about 80 claims. Coming
directly from Wall street, Mr.. Blei is
closely in touch with eastern sentiment
regarding Goldfeld and Nevada mining
Propositions.
There has been a great change IN
New York toward Goldfeld during the
last two months, and the feeling today
Is very friendly said Mr.. Blei. ''Con-

iOLDFIELD GREETS AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS-
MAY SOON SOLVE PUZZLE
OF VICTOR ORE SHOOTS

l.. X. Koontz, general manager of the
c. o. ID. Consolidated Mining company,
is directing operations on the Victor
claim toward solving a puzzle with
which he has been wrestling for some
time, and believes that he will nave it
figured out within the next week. At
tempts to find at the 450 level the ore
shoot that has been proven from 250
feet down to 400 have shown a very
elusive tendency on the part of the ore,
but within the last few days the vein
which it was supposed should be cut
within 80 feet of the shaft at the 450
level has been picked up 80 feet from
the shaft, the pitch having changed
from almost vertical to about 2J de
grees. Not enough work has yet been
done at this point to demonstrate the
values that may be encountered be-
tween the walls or by drifting, but there
is now a fine body of mineralized
quartz in sight, carrying fair gold
values.
Below the $50 level the shaft pene-
trateds large body of dacite that lies
very fiat, and it is undoubtedly the
presence Of this intrusion that threw
the vein from its regular dip. A
Wine will be sunk on the vein, and
when it gets down into the dacite there
are many chances for a fine body of
ore being entered.
On the old G. o. ID. lease block that
is now being operated by T. A.. Lister
and associates of Los Angeles. consid-
cradle ore is showing in the workings,
ASSAYS showing from $4 to 500, and the
screenings being a good quality of mill
dirt. Ore running up to $130 per ton
was shipped from here by the former
management, but the ore shoot was lost
and operations ended in disappoint-
ment. The present operators hope to
be able to pick up the pay streak again,
and are directing their work to that
end.

law, however, failed TO provide for the
proving Of development work and, on
the advice of the attorney general, the
assessment was laid against all patented
claims. Now it will be up to the own
els to make proof.
Then again the question has arisen as
to whether the law cor. mplates that
every claim in a patented group shall
he assessed $500 in view of the fact
that the word .smine" is used. Also
whether the performance of the amount
of work, as called for, on one clam OF
a group. shall suffice. Another bother
some point is what the wording, dur
ing the year means, The work ian
tie lone at the end of the year AFTER the
assessment has been made.
There is every Indication that the
law in question will soon rest with the
courts for Interpretation.
