GOLDFIELD, New, March 2S.-'The be-

to extend to depth, on the Blue Bull and
Booth properties Is hailed here as the
most important happening In the district
since the new work was started on the
property OF the Gold1eld Merger Mines
company, financed by former Senator w.

being unwatered and a powerful electric
hoisting engine and head frame have
been Installed The main vein of this
section, which enters the Booth ground
from the Red Top and in which some
rich ore has been found In seams on up

north II Will continue to gain depth as

The work on the Blue Bull will be Of
particular interest from the fact that no
deep work has been attempted in this
part of the district. and the property
has always been regarded as one OF great
possibilities. The claims are traversed by
a series OF boldly cropping dykes, and
while the formation is broken at some
points near the surface II Is apparently
more uniform and regular for the most
part than the territory farther to the

extended to the Blue Bull. the head frame

Arthur Smith and Charlie Ivie, who are

weeks. They are working through what
Is known as the No. 1 shaft AT the No.

Osterbolt, are also at work and while
they have no shipping ore exposed they
are following a vein OF low-grade ore

During the last four months the spelter
