LENGTHY REVIEW IS GIVEN OF
THE VARIOUS PROPERTIES WORKING
IN KLONDYKE MINING DISTRICT

formation In the country between !
Tonopah and Goldfield, and through |
strong Lodges of quartz. everywhere
carrying silver in greater or less
quantity and at many points lead
and a small percentage of copper,
rarely more than enough copper,
however. at the depths opened, to
cause stain. Surrounding the
porphyry on all sides is the lime
formation. in which the richer ore is
found, and the lines of demarkation
between the two formations are
conspicuousIy marked by surface
coloring
valenciante is Found
IL is said that in the Kloniyke
district the work has demonstrated
the presence of two distinct lines of
valencianite. otherwise known as an
adularia gangue, formation which
is coming in on the deeper workings
OF the Tonopah mines and is said by
a prominent Tonopah mine manager
to be closely associated with the
richest ore bodies exposed at depth
in that district Mining men have
/ expressed surprise over its discovery
near the surface at Klondyke and
regard it as another link in the chain
OF marks OF similarity between this
district and Tonopah and as a Tea
ture that is highly favorable to the
Klondyke district.
he district is of large area and
cannot readily be covered in days
visit. Last Sunday the mining re-
porter OF the Goldfield News and
Weekly Tribune joined an auto
marty to the Golden camp and walk
: ed over a large part of the prospect
! ed territory. While the confirmation
of assay certificates is not available
! il is not at all difficult to credit the
claims Of many who are familiar
: with the work that has been CON
: Quoted that in the many hundreds
, OF openings made. shallow shafts,
! adits. trenches and cuts, few II any
! have failed to expose ore of at least
) milling grade and that ore OF ship
+ ming quality has been opened at
scores of points.
2 Heretofore the work in the dis
' trict has been conducted largely by
= lessees and by poor men. Little
2 money has been expended on deyei'
/ onment and almost none on equip
ment. For this reason there are NO
deep workings and nearly all OF the
h old dumps from the shallow adits
d and slopes along the ridge above the
d Golden camp contain from l5,oOO &c
e | ts 600 tons OF ore that will yield an
d excellent profit in milling. Much Of
o this material has been worked over
e and sorted for the shipping ore y
IS contained.
