The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-02-05

TONOPAH, Feb. 2.-For the past
few weeks the Belmont strike has been
the all important topic among the local
mining men and considerable enthu-
siasm has been displayed over the won
derful.
A new sensation was caused recent
ly by the report of a strike, of equal
Importance in the Midway mine. This,
like the Belmont, was made in virgin
ground, and is the result of a system
attic course of development work, which
has been under way for over a year.
This discovery was made in a Wine
sunk at a point 800 feet south of the
shaft on the 400-foot level. At a depth
of twenty feet the vein was cut which
averaged in value from $12 to $40 a
ton. The winze was continued and
yesterday at a depth of As feet was
still in the ore with the values still
holding their own. Practically the last
twenty or twenty-five feet is in ore
and as yet no hanging wall or foot wall
has been found, The vein is of the
quartz formation.

600 level to tap the ledge which can

Grutt-B Balloon Shipping.
General Manager Looney informs Us
that the Grutt- Balloon Hill company
has received returns from a shipment
TO the Hazen samplers which show an
average value of $91.22 per ton. This
was from a 25-ton lot which was taken
out practically as broken down, with
very little sorting. He also states that
the has plenty more of the
same kind of ore ready for shipment to
the samplers as soon as the roads are
in condition for transportation. They
will continue these shipments until the
home mills are ready to treat 1T here
and render a fair return on what they
handle.

This face is now about practically
where it is expected they will encounter
the rich high grade streak that they
have so persistently uncovered In all
the upper levels. Everything is said to
be working nicely and all concerned IN
the operation of the property feel that
they will open up the same rich stuff
on this level that has made the lease
famous in the past.
Behring'S taken from a three-foot
drill hole gave an assay value to
$154.s1, which would indicate that any
round of shots may open up the rich
ore body on the $50 level, which would
give a stopping area to the surface of
large proportions, the richness of which
would be remarkable anywhere on
earth.
The Keane l, now called the Phoenix,
will start making a 200 ton shipment to
the Victor mill within a few days. This
shipment will be augmented with as
much more as the milling company can
handle.

LOVELOCK. Feb. Livery min
ing operator and business man IN the
Jessup district is wearing a smile that
won come off these days said Mike
Cryan on Wednesday last. "Not only
is everybody wearing the smile, but an
optimistic feeling prevails throughout
he entire camp and it is a certainty
that things will be doing there before
very long.
1.-The occasion for the good feeling
in the camp is the fact that the recent
find on the Ellis lease is proving a yer
liable bonanza. When j left the dis
triet the early part of the week the
owners of the lease had opened up a
fve.foot body of ore at a depth of so
feet which surpasses anything ever
found in the camp. At the lower level
a drift has been started and only a
little work had been lone when the
big strike was made. The entire ledge,
five feet wide, carries values running
all the way from $50 to 1000 to the
ton in gold and silver. About one foot
of the ore lying next to the hanging
wall Yields on an average of 81 900.
The values show both in gold and sill
yer, with the former predominating.
1.-The strike is regarded as very I'M.
portant owing to the fact that the val
ues are more uniform and the ledge
more compact than at any other point
of development and every indication
points to permanency.
AT present four men are at work

RAWHIDE. Feb. 1.-Some time z
DIR r. G. Gordon acquired the valuable
Marigold lease, which is now being op-
Grated under the name of the Alabama
A~malgamated Mines company, and in
addition other blocks of ground have
been taken over. The principal stock
holders of the concern are located in
Albania. with DIR. Gordon acting in
the capacity of president and manager.
A few days ago, at the 1s0-foot level,
one of the richest discoveries ever en-
eountered in the camp was unearthed.
Something like two-thirds of a ton is
said to be genuine "picture rock,''
literally splashed with golden metal
and running into fancy figures. Thirty
tons, estimated to run 800 to the ton,
have been shipped to the Victor mill
for treatment, and the cleanup should
be made within a few days.
The company is busily engaged in
moving all of its plant to the ground,
and a large force is employed excavat.
ing, laying foundations for engines and
generally getting everything in readi-
ness for extensive operations. The
management is strengthening out the
shaft and retimbering it, and a first
class gallows frame is shortly to be in
stalled to take the place of the one
formerly in use upon the property. Pend
ing the completion of this work, the ex-
traction of ore has been temporarily
discontinued. Upon the installation of
the plant sinking will be Immediately
resumed with renewed vigor, a double
shift of men employed, and the tremor
of the air drills will be heard day and
night. Stations will be cut at every
50-foot level, and the company has de-
cided to erect a mill on the ground for
the exclusive treatment of its own ore
as soon as conditions warrant.
The recent important strike on the
Alabama A~malgamated has apparently
instilled a more hopeful feeling in the
camp, and DR.. Gordon for several days
past has been the recipient of many
congratulations upon the splendid show
ing exhibited by the property, which
certainly bids fair to become one of the
most extensive and valuable in the Raw
hide district.

Will PROSPECT
TO SOUTHEAST
OF CAMP

Extensive prospect work along most
thorough lines, of the country some six
to ten miles to the southeast of Gold
field, where there is a strong daeite belt
similar to the central part of the Gold
field district, is being planned by a
number of Goldfeld operators, and if
their ideas are carried out as planned,
an important extension may be made
TO the active Goldfeld district before
the end of the year.
To the south and east of Goldfeld
there is "A large daeite belt, marked by

same as the formation surrounding the
Goldield district.
Milton NJ. Deteh, Guy Willard, and
Others are taking hold of the idea OF
thoroughly prospecting this district. In
early days a little work was done on
properties in that section, and since
then a little work in the way of annual
labor for the purpose of holding Claims
has been attempted. But the early
work was done with little Knowledge

be stopped to advantage from this ter
ritory. This vein is practically the
first ore to be mined in the south Sec
tion of the mine, on the 500 and 600
foot levels, although various stringers
have been encountered from time to
time. 1t was in following one of these
stringers that the vein was discovered.
On, the 400-foot level work on the
vein, encountered over a week ago, is
confined to stripping the ledge. The
dimensions of this ledge has not been
determined and no work on this line
will be undertaken until the ledge is
stripped a sufficient distance so that
stopping can be started. Some excep-
tionally high values have been received
from assays taken from this vein, the
lowest going $50 to the ton.
AS a result of these two strikes there
has been a large demand for Midway
stock, and the majority of the buyers
being local miners. AS the stock is
closely held by Tonopah people, the
orders are sent into the San Francisco
exchange, and reports from the bay city
state the demand exceeds the shares
offered for sale.

Last week a cleanup was made for

and which necessitated the bringing

Rourke did this week.

Mines in
need OF PUBLICITY

During the past month the situation
in Yerington has not been lacking in in
teresting developments to it's mines. One
unfortunate condition, though, is the
fact, we lack facilities for chronicling
the exact status of our mines so out
siders can know just exactly what we
have. Only last Monday Tom Murphy,
for years a resident of Butte and one
of the original locators, and at present
time part owner of the Consolidated
mines at Goldfeld, after inspecting the
Mason Valley mine, had the following

A very peculiar condition of affairs
was revealed in the district court last
Saturday upon the hearing of Frank l..
Wildes as receiver of the State Bank
& Trust company On his application to
the court for a reduction of his bond,
says the Carson Appeal. 1t appears
that the State Bank & Trust company
holds in its name about 100000 shares
of the capital stock of certain mining
corporations as security to pay debt
due by the Sullivan Trust company,
and also holds in its name about 6oO,-
900 shares of other stocks of different
kinds as security to pay other obhga-
tions from other persons. 1t further
appears that Mr.. Wildes, as such re-
e%eiver, soon after his appointment, OBJ
tanned an order Of court to dispose of
all stocks held by the bank and also
of other personal property. 1t fur
Their appears that Mr.. Wiides has at.
tempted to dispose of these stocks
through the San Francisco stock and
exchange board, being the only medium
through which he could dispose of them,
and furnished the board with a certified
copy of his appointment as receiver,
thus showing his authority to transfer
the stock standing in the name of the
State Bank & Trust company. Whilst

STOCK BOARD WOULD NOT

such showing is accepted as sufficient
in all courts of justice throughout the
United States, the San Francisco
stock and exchange board refused to
accept il as sufficient, and demands
the performance of onerous conditions
before it will accept the stock for sale
through its medium, and has refused
to handle said stocks before said con
ditions are performed.
"The object of the board is clear, =
continues the Appeal. cit is to OBJ
tain the power to either bull or
bear the market in accordance with
the interests of those in control of the
board. If they desire to bull a par
ticular stock, they withhold it from
sale, and if they desire to bear such
stock, they accept the proofs of a re-
%eeiver, an administrator or executor OF
an estate as sufficient and dump the
stock upon the market.
MIR. Wildes was not offering to
dump all the stock on the market, but
was endeavoring to dispose of it in
parcels, as the market seemed to just
ify, but the board refused to handle
any of it at all until he obtains an
order of court authorizing him to sell
the particular stock mentioned, which
condition will doubtless be performed
