LEASE ON THE BOOTH
DEVELOPING ORE SHOOT

The Weber Mclaughlin lease on the
Booth is steadily developing the ore
shoot that was picked up some weeks
ago, and which was found to have been
entered al or near its apex. An ex-
ploration winze was put down on the
shoot for some 35 feet, and a drift run
along the vein, showing three feet of
fair ore, increasing in value as depth
was gained. The shaft will now be
sunk to 265 feet, and a cut run from
the 250-foot level, 10 get under the
shcot 100 feet below where it is now
being worked. The vein that is being
proved up is Of fine appearance, and
has the leasers at high pitch of ex
pectation.

FORD-M'KAY ORE IS
HOLDING UP WELL

The ore shoot opened in the Ford
Mckay lease on the ST. Ives claim of
the Merger Mines company estate some
three weeks ago is holding up well un-
der development, and ore is being con
stantly taken out for shipment. On
Monday of this week a thirty ton ship
ment was sent out, sack sampling show
ing that ten tons ran close to 5000 per
ton and the balance around the $40
mark.
There has been no decrease In the
size or value of the ore shoot, 1T show
ing signs of widening. There is much
good ore on the footwall on the pres
ent shoot, that runs as nigh AS $40 per
ton. but this is not being shot down,
as the leasers are following along the
present vein in order TO prove it up
thoroughly in preparation for getting
the shoot by erosscut 100 feet below
the present level, at $50 feet.

NEV, BROOKLYN ON
ATLANTA LOOKS GOOD

rhot the Nevada Brooklyn lease on
s,osks a. 5, 6 and 7 of the Union Jack
-, of the Atlanta has the main st.
las vein at a depth of 800 feet is tie
hslef of the operators, and extensive
development of the vein from where
!. hos hen opened some 20 feet from
The shaft, will soon be started. The
shaft is now being re-timbered from the
bottom to the 25O-foot point, and when
,b;s is finished drifting on the big vein
will be started. Three promising veins,
including the st. Ives, have been cut
in the lease workings, but the big vein
is the most promising of the three. Val
ues approaching the shipping grade
have already been encountered by the
loasers. One of the most promising de-
velopments is that the vein contains
small stringers of rich grey copper ore,
ood these are believed to be the pointer
for heavy gold values, rs mining ex-
nerience in the district has showed that
the two are closely associated. Man
.oer J. A. Houlahan states that work
Of retimbering, ETC., will require near
y thirty days time, and that when
this is finished there promises to be
" something doing" with almost any
round of shots.

GOING after ORE IN
The PRECIOUS METALS

With the st. Ives vein being develop
ed in two places about so feet apart on
the 730foot level in the workings of
the Precious Metals lease on the Black
Bear claim of the Atlanta estate, the
leasers are making fast progress in
searching for the ore shoot they are so
confident they will encounter III the
big vein system. 1t is now conclusive,
ly known by the operators that they
are in the st. Ives vein.
The vein matter is the typical broken
and nodular quartz of the district filled
with tale and alunite, and stringers are
carrying good values, but as yet they
have not been traced to the point
where they converge into compact ore
body that. may be proftably extracted.
Some high assays are being taken from
the stringers, and they point to the
fact that an ore shoot is somewhere In
the vicinity of the work that Is being
done. The vein is some 20 feet in thick
ness where it was entered, strong and
well defined.

LEASERS PREPARING
TO START ON THE ORC

Preparations are being made to start
active work on the Orc ground, as the
lease secured on the old company work
ings some time ago by the Manning
brothers has been financed, and work
OF putting the shaft in shape will be,
gin early next week. By the first OF
June, in all probability, extensive de-
velopment work will be in progress on
the ground. The shaft will probably
be sent down deeper, and then search
made for the big vein system that
work in the Laguna claim of the Con-
solidated, and in the Lind lease on the
Booth gives indications of entering the
Orc. No work has been done on the
Orc ground for long time, and re-
sumption of mining on this old-time
favorite property makes the north end
of the camp look much better.

MERGER OF TWO Big
PROPERTIES PENDING

Donald Ferguson will soon arrive
home from the east, at which time he
expects to complete the pending merger
of the Pittsburg Nevada group of 100
acres and the Frances group of 100
acres, adjoining the Pittsburg Nevada
on the north The Frances group is the
property of the estate of the late DR..
Frances Williams of Goldfeld and Los
Angeles, who was a most daring and
successful opefstoryin the early days
of Goldfeld Much work has been done
on each property, and the Pittsburg
especially has very fine equipment,
and good deal of milling ore exposed.
The merger of the two properties would
give the new company big tract of
ground of great possibilities, and ex-
tensive work that will follow may ex-
tend the known productive zone of the
camp by more than three miles to the
south and east of the present limits.

LOYAL LEASE Being
STEADILY OPERATED

The Loyal Mining and Leasing COM
pany, on blocks l and of the Union
Jack claim of the Atlanta, formerly
the Goldfield Century leasing ground,
is being steadily developed at depth
of $50 feet. A crosscut is being driven
from this level to the southeast in or
der to catch a shoot of the St. Ives
vein, which is now believed to be close
to the present workings. Stringers of
Quartz have been encountered lately
that give rise to this belief. The show
ing is so good that President Motley, of
the leasing company, who is out from
New York, is full of confidence that
the lease will eventually get the pay
shoot. The property is equipped with
a 18Th. p gasoline hosting plant and
its shaft is 400 feet deep.
crosscut is being driven to the
Matilda ground, adjoining, which like
the Loyal ground is under the manage
ment of J. A. Houlahan of tits city,
and the Matilda ground will be worked
through the Loyal shaft. The cut has
Matilda ground.

CONS. MILL REPAIRS
SOON TO Be complete

1t is unofficially given out that the
repairs to the Consolidated mill, neees-
STATED by the fire of April 9TH, are
nearly completed, and that about ths
hrst of June the big mill will again be
dropping 100 stamps, and just as com
piete as it was prior to the big fre.
The repairs have been made III record
hreaking time. Since the enormous pro-
duction made in April, with crippled
mil, there is general belief in Goid-
held that when all 100 stamps are
started, there will be an effort made TO
set new productive record. If smclter
shipments continue after the entire
capacity of the mill is available it is
certain that previous records Will be
smashed. Development on the various
levels of the Clermont workings from
ooo to 900 feet depth has been putting
some important new ore bodies In sight

lions IN the big mine were never better

YELLOW TIGER SHOWS
fine QUARTZ SHOOT

The long west lateral on the IOO-toOt
level of the Yellow Tiger is showing a
fine vein of very promising quartz, IN
termingled with tale and alunite, and
carrying very large quantity OF iron
sulphurets, with some small gold values.
1t is evident now that the footwau or
the main north and south formation
has been reached, this being the op-
jective point of the operators. Inc
quartz is broken and ground up, ana Is
very favorable in appearance for the
deposition of mineral, and an ore shoot
is expected most any time now Ihe
quartz is of the intensely hard, dark
grey character that is typical of the ore
bearing veins of the district.
