GOLDFIELD. Nov. Ii.-High- grade
ore is being sacked for shipment at three
points on the claims OF the c. o. u.
Consolidated. AT ono point, In a dritt
from the old incline that connects The
workings Of the Gold Ear and Victor
mines. an ore shoot Is EXPOSED that aver
sees around $500 Der ton Tor width
varying from two to three feet. and as
SAWS taken from ten inches OF ore in this
drift have yielded over $500. per ton.
The ore is a light porphyrv Ia Which the
free gold is not visible. but which yields
good string of sold In the pan. This
territory has produced a considerable
quantity Of hish-grade ore in the past
hut IN several Instances owing TO fault
displacement, the veins or orc shoots
have been lost.
The more recent work in this ground
has served 10 demonstrate the fact that
the veins and ore bodies which were
supposed 10 have pinched out have IN
many cases merely been thrown TO one
side for short distance by fault ac-
tion. This condition prevails throughout
the district and the presence OF mud
slip or of an intrusion OF barren ma
for abandoning development at any point
where there Is any indication of con
tinuous ore shoot or even Of greatly dts
,urbed vein matter. The rich ore shoot
lately opened on the Gold Bar claim or
the G. O. II. Consolidated Is plainly the
extension Of one from which that COM
pany extracted about 500, 600 worth OF
exceedingly rich orc some four years
ago and which was thought to have
plnched out. as the fault plane Is now
clearly shown.
Leasers Get Results.
On the Victor claim Of the same com
49,
lease Is sscltIng ore that runs from 5000
10 $500 per ton. This ore is exposed on
the 30ofoot level and I'm winze that
has been sunk from the ZOO foot level,
the pay material being from two and
one half TO three feet wide at both
places. Only n portion Of This. how
ever. Is high grade. and the lessees on
both claims are sackiug only the richer
ore. leaving everything valued AT less
than $40 or $50 for future extraction
Excepting FOR the difficulty sometimes
occs stoned in finding the continuation OF
an orc shoot The presence OF a fault IN
the mines Of this district is by no means
regarded as dctriment. for the reason
that mos; Of the bonanza ore bodies Of
the producing mines here have beou
closely associated with large falt planes.
The geologlsts advance various cNplana-
phenomenon, but the fact remains,
nevertheless.
