GOLDFlELDs May lo.-lne tonolna"
ton Fraction is now hoisting from flf-
teen to thirty tons OF good milling ore
daily. which is being shipped tc the
storage bins OF the Nevada Goldfleld
mill. operated last year by the Fraction
company under lease. About 500 tons of
this ore has been sent to the plant.
which is a mile north of the mine. and
according to the manager OF the F'rac-
tion, C. D. Wilkinson. milling operations
will probably be resumed early In June,
The ore is being taken from slopes on
the S00-fooI level OF the mine, where
large body OF excellent milling ore was
exposed a short time ago, and where the
principal development is now being car
! rIed on. Another good ore body is being
developed on the 300-foot level. and by
means of a raise driven from the old
drifts on the ESQ level.

compauys lease also known as the Car
rison lease, has Just broken into the
main vein on the 1901 foot level over
a week ago vein matter was exposed on
this level, the drift penetrating what was
| supposed To be the casing OF the Vein
but the formation was badly broken ana
| the drift was continued: 1t now devel-
ops tina; the drift had been following Il
| course just under the wall OF the vein
and a crosscut has been started from the
! drift to determine the volume and char
| actor OF the lead. Wilke p. Garrison
| OF Pasadena, Cal, president OF the leas-
ing company. is now on the ground SUI
pervising the work and is greatly en-
| couraged by the appearance of the vein
at this depth. Some good assays have
already been secured. and the showing is

done below the 350-foot level. With a

The most important OF recent discover

| depth OF ESQ feet In the east drift OF the
Ford lease on the st. Ives clal m or the
Merger Mines company. The lease en-
braces the original shaft and workings OF
exceedingly rich orc have been taken in
the past. The ore shoot has also been
exposed on the 350-foot level and ap-
| the drift has exposed three feet Of ore
averaging around S20o per ton. One OF
| the foremost mining men and most re-
liable authorities in Goldneld after in
! specting the strike OF the Ford lease, de-
clarcs that IL is one OF great importance
and has every indication of becoming
heavy producer OF high grade ore.

is being developed both on the S00-foot
