MEANS NEW LIFE
IN GOLD SPRINGS
Dispatcher Property Is One to
Be Revived by New
Power Plant.

one or the properties OF Gold Springs
district which. is likely to become ac-
tive on account of the installing of a
gas producer electric power plant at
Modena by the Gold Springs Mining
& Power company is that of the Extra
West Mining & Milling company, of
which Colonel A. c. Ellis and Salt Lake
associates are the chief owners. The
Extra West company's Dispatcher
group OF eight claims is only seven
miles from Modena, and the Gold
springs power line runs close to it
making the connecting for relatively
cheap power an easy matter
W nile the Dispatcher group lies
about four miles south of the Jennie
mine, it is the firm conviction of ex-
perts who have examined the proper
tles-including Engineer II. r. Collett
OF san F'rancisco-that the Dispatcher
group has the extension of the Jennie
vein.
The vein in the Jennie is character
fzed by the same bold outcrop and for
nation and structure that obtains in
the dispatcher vein," says Mr.. Collett
IN his report, "and 1 have no hesi-
fancy in stating that the Jennie Wild
lrish-Dispatcher vein is the mother
lode OF the district"
ls on Mother Lode.
1.-TWO main veins traverse the Dis
patcher group, the engineer says fur
ther. The principal vein Of the two
can be followed the entire length Of
the property, or more than 5000 feet,
and ii is characterized by q strong
gold OutcrOp that varies in width from
70 Feet TO so feet. This outcrop ap-
pears at intervals, forming very
striking comb or ridge on the crest
of the low hills that form the foot
hill region of this mountain range. The
outcrop of the other vein, which is
about 300 feet east of the Dispatcher
vein, is traceable through a portion
of two claims"
Open cuts and shaft Sc feet deep,
from which some drifting has been
done, comprise the development ac-
complished in the Dispatcher group,
but at the surface and at that slight
depth good gold values have been
found wherever work has been done
on the veins. There is every evidence.
Mr.. Coilett says, that strong shoot
of ore of commercial values will be
found near the shaft which has been
sunk in the big vein.
In view of the new interest in Gold
Springs district which is sure to be
awakened by the increased activity
upon the solving of the
power problem. Mr.. Collects brief ref
erence TO the Jennie mine will be of
the examination having been
made prior to recent developments
which have shown increased values at
additional depth.
Vein is Strong in Jennie.
I'm the Jennie property" he says,
'the vein averages about eight feet
in width. 1t is opened by a vertical
shaft sunk TO the depth. of 1877 feet.
On the 127-foot level the vein has a
Stopping width OF from to IA feet
was informed by the mine superin-
-endent that the average value of the
pre- milled was $12 in gold and sill
yer, the principal values being in gold. |
The hanging wall of one of the slopes |
that 1 examined was carrying a streak
about 8 inches wide assaying over $50 |
/ ton in gold" Concluding, he says:
The Dispatcher group of claims, in |
ny opinion, merits close and systematic |
prospecting. There is every reason to |
believe that pay shoots of large ex- |
.ent exist at intervals in this great |
vein and that systematic exploration /
viii meet with equal or even better |
results than have been obtained by like !
work in the same vein in the Jennie |
