IN NORTHERN EUREKA COUNTY
Correspondence From Goldfeld
Confirming Reported Sale Of
Buckhorn Gold Property

A Goldfeld correspondent writing to
the Salt Lake Tribune under date OF
September 10. confirms the recent sale
Of Buckhorn properties to George Wing
field, and reports another rich gold strike
in Eureka County about so miles south
Of Beowawe:
For the past week the attention oil
mining men in this part of the State has
been focused on a new country, the
main camp Of which is Buckhorn. The
latter is some IA miles north Of Cortez in
Eureka County and 30 miles west Of
Alpha. A group Of six gold claims has
just been purchased there by George
Wingdeld for the neat sum Of 500, 900
and the preliminary purchase price Of
$500 paid. The only development work
consists of q shaft 80 feet deep. At this
depth a crosscut has been driven through
30 feet of ledge matter running clear
across from $l2 to $l3 a ton. The foot
wall is nowhere in evidence, aud it is
claimed the vein is fully q hundred feet
in width. The camp seems to be a big
cyanide proposition. Already the Buck
horn group extension has passed into the
hands of LOTUS & Davis and r. NJ.
Jones, who will at once commence active
development.

Another big deal is on not far from the
above named district. NJ. O. Scully, the
we'll known operator, has left for Mon
tresl, where he has interested a number
Of conservative investors Of that city in
a piece Of ground, the ledge matter OF
which is said to fairly dazzle the eye
with gold. The vein is so feet in width
and has been traced 1000 feet. So rich
is the rock that portions Of it show gold
that can be readily picked out with a
knife. The assays run from IS to $4,000
a ton scraped from the face Of the ledge.
The footwall is porphyry aud the hang
ing wall quartzite. This place Is south
of Beowawe, about 45 miles in a rough
country, aud it looks SO favorable that
the promoters are contemplating the
erection Of a 100 stamp mill. There is
no one there now, excepting a few
Swedish sheepherders, who made the
original locations.
