Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1910-07-29

Friday the END proved TO De
Good Friday for Fogle and Grant,
| leasers on the Martinez and Stott
estate. The last three feet of their
twenty-foot shaft disclosed thir-
| ty inches of ore. which is yielding
good paintings. Judges of colors
in the pan estimate that the rock
will go from $50 up as high as
| $500 per ton The writer wit
messed two paintings that went be-
tween 5000 and $500 per ton.
A prominent leaser on the Dyer
and Bollinger ground made over 25
paintings from the ore on the dump
and only got one blank out of the
lot in over two hours with mortar,
pestle and pan. The vein, which
was not over 4 inches in width on
the surface has widened out to 20
inches and is widening rapidly,
while values are more than keeping
pace. The lease is now considered
one of the Bonanza leases of the
camp and is the gathering point
! for every man in camp that likes to
see a long string of colors in the
pan.
| The men employed on the Booth
| lease on an adjoining block to the
east which is in charge of Thomas
! Fleming. started work Saturday and
have encountered the same vein in
an open cut Is feet east of the
! Fogle and Grant shaft with the
same character of ore and which
| pan about the same values as found
| at equal depth in the original find
I Mr. Lewis, who was granted block
on the Sorrel Top claim adjoin-
| ling westerly, stand very good
! chance of picking up the Fogle and
Grant vein on that block, as soon
as he starts operating, which he ex-
poets to do this week.
]. A. Olin of the Olin-Irwin lease,
while prospecting his ledge crop
pings that show to 10 feet in
width, found a stringer of from
2 to inches in width and secured
! a sample that shows a half dozen
!, of fine colors. The ore is a typical
| flower gold on the surface and 1t
/ takes but few feet of depth to
reach the zone of coarse colors as
proven on several other leases in
camp when depth is reached. The
discovery of gold 1000 feet east
Weedman opens up very promis-
/ ing section of the Dyer and Bollin-
ger claims that will be thoroughly
prospected. And with the strong
probabilities of opening up veins of
excellent values Frank Everett and
IC. j. Everett and F. G. Alsdorf of
Atwood spent last Saturday in camp
and made a cursory examination OF
the many lively leases and went
back we'll convinced of the fact that
he Athens mining district is one
of strong promise as a future gold
producer.
A few of the numerous visitors
during the past week were in q
measure somewhat disappointed ii
not seeing as many free gold speci
mems of the ore of the district as
they naturally expected. There il
a reason for this state of affairs
which is easily explained. The ORE
carries an extremely heavy per cen
or iron pyrites in the quartz ant
! by many this is given as the caus.
unless the ore runs up into The
thousands pei ton. But part o
! the disclosure occurs in the pan ant
the fire tsst of the assayer comes
/ the real revelation of the full yalu,
CT the ore. which looks so hard ant
hinty to the naked eye and whicl
caused an army of prospectors 0
