MORE ACTIVITY At
BARRETT SPRINGS

There is a fair prospect of a re-
vival of mining at Barrett Springs.
Three or four years ago the district
was in the limelight, and a consider
able amount of valuable ore was
shipped. The principal property
worked was the Ramola group,
owned by the Nineteen-Ten Mining
company. About two years ago it
was sold to parties from iowa, who
continued work for a time, but final
ly abandoned the camp, moving off
all the buildings. Leasers and min
ers followed suit, until there was
nothing left at the original camp eX-
cept tunnels, drifts, wines and
shafts, which could not we'll be
hauled away.
However, H. Kantenwein, principal
owner Of the title Florence group,
adjoining, and c. r. Smith, owner of
confidence in the camp and kept
at work in a small way. The day
before New Year, the two gentlemen
mentioned went out to Barrett
Springs. and at IL O'Clock located
several claims. The Ramola was To-
Gated by both. within a few minutes
of each other. and for awhile 1t
looked as though the courts would
be called upon to settle the owner
ship. But happily the matter has
been amicably adjusted, the parties
in interest dividing the Ramola and
Flower Boy. Both claims have rec
ords as shippers, upon the latter be-
ing located what was known as the
"Swede lease" with extensive work
ings.
Sunday Messrs. Kantenwein and
Smith visited the camp and let a
lease on the Flower Boy, to five ex-
perienced miners, and it will not be
many days before a carload OF ore
will be shipped to Hazen. Other
parties are negotiating for leases on
the two claims, and the property will
be thoroughly exploited, with the
chances in favor of a large number
of men again at work in the camp
before the opening of spring.
AS Barrett Springs is practically
situated in Winnemucca's back yard.
lying not to exceed ten miles distant.

FINE SHOWING IN
ROCHESTER MINE
MENT INCLUDES RICH
MATERIAL
Special to News.

ROCHESTER,, Jan. 31.-An en-.
two-thirds Of its value in gold, has
been struck in both the Rochester
Hills and Causten leases. In the
Rochester Hills, or Codd Lease, the
ore-shoot was penetrated at the bot
tom of the 35O-foot shaft and there
is between three and four feet that
samples 500 per ton. The ore is
oxidized and the proportion of gold
to silver is about the same as that
of the ore first discovered in the
Weaver, which adjoins the Big Four
lease on the south. The Causten
lease, or -Four u.s." which is the
next block north from the Codd, has
the ore on its tunnel level, which is
65 feet deeper than the bottom Of
the Codd.
Recent heavy storms have inter-
fered considerably with the opera
ton of the Nevada Short Line which
hauls the Rochester ore, but the road
is being put in condition again. In
the meantime ore has been piling
up in the Rochester Hills, Causten
and Big Four, the former having
more than 5000 tons ready for ship
ment. Since the Rochester Hills be-
gan shipping the company has sent
out 1855 tons of ore of the gross
value Of $175,761.S1 and has paid
royalties of $~1O,957.25 to the Roch-
ester Mines company.
The Rochester Hills has almost
$4,000 tons of mill ore on dumps and
blocked out in the mine. The COM
pany built and is operating the Ne
vada Short Line, a narrow-gauge
railroad four and one-half miles in
length, connecting the ore bins at
the end of the wagon road with the
Southern Pacific at Nenzel. The
road was completed late in July of
last year and since has transported
10000 tons of freight, ronsisting of
ore from the leases and supplies and
m%ahhinery, and has paid a handsome
profit to the company. 1t is now
hauling ore from the Rochester Hills,
Big Four and Causten properties.
The Rochester Hills Mining COM
pany's lease runs until midnight,
Dec. 81, 1914, with the privilege of
milling the low-grade ore on the
surface within three years thereafter.
A. A. Codd, president of the company,
is compiling a report to the stock
holders covering the operations, earn
ings, etc., of the property up to the
end of 1918, which will be sent out
in a few days.

SILVER PICK AIR DRILLS

Continued from page one)
As degrees. 1t is calculated that by
prosecuting a distance of 40 feet
from the shaft on the e bottom
level this streak of ore will be re-
vealed. Upon the completion of the
station work, such a cross-cut will
be extended and when the streak of
ore is picked up drifts both ways will
be run. The new equipment for the
property will include, in addition to
machine drills and a station pump on
the 500-foot level, a cage that will
replace the present bucket and cross
head used in the shaft.
Aside from work on company &C
count, the Best Chance Mining COM
pany is operating a block of ground,
100 by 800 feet in the extreme south
eastern section of the property of the
Silver Pick estate. The leasehold
adjoins the old Sheets-Ish lease on
the Combination property and the
old Kalfus lease territory on the Mo-
hawk, and the officials of the new
leasing company are confident of
picking up in their ground the ex-
tensions of the rich o~rebodies that
attracted worldwide attention to its
important neighbors and the entire
Goldfield district. The lessees have
sunk a winze to a depth of 60 feet
below the 120-foot level in their ter
ritory, obtaining small assays thus
far from the big bodies of quartz
revealed, and have placed an order
for a 1O-horsepower electric hoist
to replace the present windlass. With
the installation of the power hoist,
the sinking of the winze will natural.
ly make greater Roadway and the
lessees believe that the success oil
their venture is assured. The lessees
are hosting no muck above the 120-
foot level, it being stored in tribu'
tary workings. A like plan of dis.
posing of the waste from the WINE
will be followed by them even after
the installation of the power hoist
for the immediate future at least.

been started at the 7S-foot point in
the incline raise above the 35S-foot
level to determine the extent in that
direction of the new body of ore, in
which picture rock was revealed.
The drift has advanced about ten feet
and is apparently skirting the top of
the rich streak of ore, samples from
the bottom exceeding in value those
of the top. However the entire drift
face is revealing excellent values.
An assay of $50 in gold with very
small silver values was obtained a
day or two ago from a grab sample
from the ore as it was being broken
down. The ore exposed in the
face of the drift includes al eighteen
inch streak that during the last few
days has given assays varying from
$500 to $500 a ton, according to En-
gineer Turner.
In addition to the length of the ore
body to the northward at that par
ticular level, the drift is being run for
the purpose of determining the most
favorable point at which to sink a
winze upon it.. When the richest por-
ton of the new orebody is located in
hal direction, a new raise from the
35S-foot level will be started stimuli
ta~neously with the Wine from the
intermediate level above. After
such exploratory work on an extern
sive scale is completed, Su~perintend-
ent Harry Clapp will give particular
attention to the thorough and sys-
tematic stopping of the new orebody,
he apparently preferring to wait un-
til that time instead of rushing ex-
traction by ''gouging' methods, to
the detriment of the property.
On the fourth or 20O-foOt level,
Superintendent Clapp is breaking
down from seven to eight feet of
good grade ore from the Florence
vein south of the shaft in the vicinity
ity of the old Sweeney lease territory.
Stopping operations continue with ex-
cellent results on the Florence vein
north of the shaft on the second or

ore are being removed preliminary to
the abandonment of that working.
Preliminary to the inauguration of
stopping operations. raising is in pro-
gress on the 65O-foOt level north of
the shaft on a three-foOt streak of
sulphide ore that is yielding returns
varying from $40 to $50 a ton. From
the various points named, ample ore
is being extracted to splendidly main
tain the fine shipping record of six
carloads a week. AS the ore from
the 650-foot level is carrying from 1
to 2 per cent copper, making it re-
fractOry, the shipment of the output
of the mine to the old Belmont mill
at Millers has ceased and it is now
being consigned to the sampler OF
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany at Hazen.

WANT HIGHWAY
ROUTE CHANGED
LAUNCH MOVEMENT FOR
THAT PURPOSE

Charles G.. Patrick of Goldfield,
president of the Nevada State auto
mobile association, supported by the
members of that organization resid-
ing in the eastern and southern pOr-
tions of this state, has Joined hands
with Secretary w. G.. Scott and the
members of the Inyo Good Roads
club of Inyo county, California, in
an effort to cause the officials of the
Lincoln memorial national highway,
to be built from ocean to ocean,, to
reconsider their selection of what is
known as the Snowshed Route
through northern Nevada and cen-
trail California in favor of "The Mid
land Trail" through southern Me-
vada and southern California.
The Midland Trail from Ely bears
westerly and %southerly to Hot Creek
and through Tonopah and Goldfield,
whence it leads across the CalifOr-
ma line to Oasis and owe the White
Mountains through Westgard Pass
to Big Pine and Mojave, at which
point it effects a junction with the
California state highway system.
Mr.. Patrick stated today that he
and Mr.. Scott are exchanging con-
siderable correspondence on the mat
ter of a change in the routing of the
highway and that a conference of all
concerned will be held in the near
future.

F|vE-STAMP PLANT
FOR THE GREAT BEND
LEASING COMPANY OPERATIONS
HAVE DEVELOPED CONSID-
ERABLE ORE

Within the near future the milling
facilities of the Goldfield district will
be slightly increased by the placing
into commission of the f~ive-stamp
plant of the Diamondield Mining and
Milling company, which is operating
a long-term lease upon adjoining
blocks of ground on the estate of
the Goldfield Great Bend Mining
company and the Diamondfeld Daisy
Mining company in the Diamondfeld
section of the Goldfield district. The
construction of the mill of the leas-
ing company, which is backed by a
syndicate of California capitalists, is
rapidly nearing completion and the
plant will loon be placed in commits
sion. Water from the Great Bend
property will be utilized in the oper-
alton of the mill.
Operations were inaugurated by
the Diamondfeld Mining and Milling
company on the properties named
about five months ago and excellent
results have attended the prosecu-
ton of the development work. The
lessees are stopping from two to five
feet of ore, varying in value ron
IS to $50 a ton, above the 1OO-foot
level of the Great Bend shaft and
estimate that they have sufficient ore
in sight to keep the mill in steady
operation for a long period.
