Valley group, one running north and
south and the other in an easterly
and westerly direction. The more
prominent of the two is the Valley
View vein, which is from 15 to 20
feet wide-a very generous size
and from which gold paintings were
obtained from surface quartz. The
Black Diamond vein is from 6 to 8
feet in width and gives evidences of
widening.
NOTHING BETTER
IN GOLDFIELD
1t will be readily seen from what
has been described above that no
mining property in the entire Gold
field mining district which is not
already in ore has a better chance,
based upon sound logic and facts
established by the governments en-
gineers, and, furthermore, by the
positive proof of the biggest pro-
ducing mines in the camp. than that
owned by the Diamond Valley
Company. The Merger, Lone Star,

ENGINEER WILKINSON
REPORTS,
Before c%onsenting to place the
stock of the Diamond Valley Com
pany before it's clients the H. A.
Riedel Investment Company looked
into the matter from every angle.
Among the various authorities con-
suited was Mr.. Charles D. Wilkin-
son, M. E., for eight years the con-
sulting engineer of the biggest mine
in Goldfeld--the Goldfeld Console
dated. Time did not permit of the
issuing of a full report so that it
might be included herewith, but a
brief preliminary statement was sent
by wire, which reads as follows:
The H. A. Riedel Investment Com
pany, 1O7-110 Boston Building,
Denver, Colo:
Preliminary examination of Dia-
mond Valley ground with Byler to-
day. Ground located along fracture
line parallel to Columbia Mountain
Fault and shows strong vein and
cross assuring to the north. All in
the Midtown andesite same as Daisy
AMI part of Florence. Ground ia
vorable for development.
C. D. WILKINSON.
1t may be pointed out in connec-
ton with Mr.. WikinsOn's telegram
that the Florence and Daisy mines
have a production record of over S.
O00, 900. The colOred geographical
maps included in the governments
report upon the Goldfield district
shows the formation of the Diamond
Valley, Daisy and the southern
half of the Florence mine to be ok
actly the same-in fact all are To-
Gated in the formation known to
biologists as andesite. We find in
Mr.. Wilkinson's telegram a full o n
firmation of the %closeness of the
Diamond Valley Company's proper
ty to the Columbia Mountain Fault
and also in reference to the strong
vein on the property.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-01-30

Referring to the veins exposed
upon the property owned by the Dia-
mond Valley Company, Mr.. Byler
says: There is exposed on the
easterly end of the claim (Black
Diamnnd) a conspicuous quartz crop
ping forming a small peak just south
merous small trenches have been
sunk on this ledge, which shows it to
be of considerable magnitude, but
the workings are insufficient to de-
termine the details of it's character.
This vein, however, is exposed on
the Hard Tack property to the east
for a considerable distance and III
merous small shafts sunk upon it
show it to be quite regular and per-
s~istent, some 6 or s feet in width
and having a dip to the south of
about 60 degrees. From the ap-
pearance of the surface outcrop it
would seem probable that it is con-
siderably wider near the Black Dia-
mond shaft.
upon the Valley View claim just
west of the shaft are the groupings
of a vein having a northerly and
southerly strike. No workings of
consequence have been done on this
within the company's property, but
just north upon the Gold Queen Co.'s
property small shafts have been
sunk, establishing its trend. AS
exposed in these workings the vein
is some Is to 20 feet in width and
shows a slight dip to the east. Only
nominal values have been obtained
from the surface of these veins, but
upon the northerly end Of the Val
ley View fair paintings have been
obtained. but the exact point of the
origin of these values has not been
determined.
1.-The property lies just to the east
of a geological break of consider
able extent known as the Columbia
Mountain Fault as is shown on the
n,an map.
This forms the floor of the
ore zone of this portion of the dis
trict and development of the Conscli-
dated properties show it to be the

this condition for the government. 1t
is perhaps sufficient tt say that fire.
uuent reference is made to it in what
is officially known as Professional
Paper No. &C of the United States
Geological Survey. The first dis
coveries made in the Combination
and Mohawk mines were due to this
cause, but at that time the operators
knew merely that they had rich ore
and did not know the geological
conditions which brought it about.
We know now, however, that this Is
the reason why the Mohawk mine,
for instance, did not have pay ore in
the upper 200 feet of the vein. The
reason was that the vein had not
vet come into contact with the Co
lumbia Mountain fault; but it did at
greater depth and then produced an
enormous amount of rich ore along
the plane of the fault-a single car
load OF which had a net value OF
over 100000.

subsequent to the occurrence of the
original faulting. The formations
lying above this zone. being af-
fected by movement along the zone,
subsequent to the original break,
have been fractured by irregular fis-
sures extending from the surface
down to and merging with this main
channel.
Into these assures as we'll as in
the zone very rich and large ore
bodies have been deposited. The ore
as a rule does not come to the sur
face, usually not reaching nearer
than n hundred feet or more FROM
the surface.
The determining factors are the
physical conditions of fracture and
channels for the circulation of the
mineralizing solutions rather than
any particular rock, and these con-
ditions have principally been deter
mined by the Columbia Mountain
fault and the connected movements.
THE Valley View shaft should cut
the Columbia Mountain fault ore
zone at a depth of about 7OO.feet and
At d lcSS ueptu would PROBABLY In
t~ersect the Valley View vein which
should merge with the o at some
point nea the shaft. This shaft
should be sunk and developments
made both along this vein and the
! zone when intersected. Also devel-
opment should be made on the vein
at less depth, say 800 feet or there
about. by crosscut west from the
shaft to the vein and drift thereon.
The Black Diamond vein has an
easterly and westerly strike and the
strength indicated al the surface
would make it probable that it also
would extend to and connect with
the Columbia Mountain fault ore
zone, such connection forming q
means OF access of values herefrom,
Such connection, however, would be
at a depth of some 1900 feet at the
present shalt, though further west
the distance would be less. While it
is extremely likely that drifts along
this vein at reasonable depth would
disclose ore shoots extending within
the usual distance from the surface,
the Valley View vein is much the
more likely point to develop, on ac-
count OF its nearness to the Column
bla Mountain fault ore zone, such

ley View shaft and workings there

field for the United States govern

tive report of over $50 pages in
1909. Therein is found a full de-

maps and photographs showing that
there is clear evidence of this fault
running north and south for over
two and one-half miles.

EXPERTS SAY.
1t is, we feel, nor necessary to

lions of the biologists who describe

THE FAULT ZONE.

THE FAULT ZONE.
Since the publication of the gov
ernment's findings and guided large
ly by the information contained
therein, several deep shafts have
been sunk on veins with the purpose
in view of reaching the Columbia
Mountain fault, and this work has
fully confirmed the fact that 1t is
under these conditions the big ore
bodies of the camp are found. Re-
markable recent evidences of this
are found in the rich discoveries
made in the Jumbo Extension which
is now mining very rich ore on the
bed of the fault at a depth of $50
feet, and in the Grizzly Bear shaft,
which was put down 1850 feet to
reach the desired geological forma-
ton. The mines operating along this

to 1000 feet in depth to reach the
Columbia Mountain Fault. and this
very condition is within our reach
by sinking the shaft only 600 feet
at a total cost fully 1870 less than
is necessary for those deep workings
which lie considerably further east.
TWO DOUBLE
COMPARTMENT SHAFTS
Two double compartment shafts
have already been started down to-
wards the Columbia Mountain Fault
ore zone on the Diamond Valley
Company's property. One of these
shafts will develop the vein running
for 1900 feet north and south
through this property. while the
other will open up the east and west
vein. It is probable that levels and
crosscuts will be run out from the
No. 1 shaft to develop the vein at
a depth of two or three hundred
feet = that is, several hundred feet
before the fault zone is reached, as
it is the experience in the rich Gold
field mines that good ore is often
struch before the fault is actually
encountered. The work will be
under the management of Mr.. e. A.
Byler, who resides in Goldfield, and
will be vigorously prosecuted.
THE BUSINESS
! SIDE OF 1T
AS a matter OF business COMPARE
| son it may be pointed out that those
companies owning groups OF prop
critics lying along the trend of the
Columbia Mountain Fault which
have already reached the contact
and opened ore therein, are selling
on a basis in excess of $10.00O,OOO.
This is the selling value of the is
sued shares only and is. therefore,
the commercial valuation based
upon the production being made
and dividends being paid by the
companies. From this point of view
it may be reasonably argued that
, the comparatively nominal amount
which is required to open the two
Diamond Valley veins down to the
Columbia Mountain Fault ore zone is
amply warranted.
LOOKING INTO
THE FUTURE
The estimate of expectation of
what is most likely to occur when
the Diamond Valley Company's two
veins are opened on the ore fault
plane must certainly be very large.
The Jumbo Extension company has
opened up a production estimated
at $1,000, 900 net per annum
in only a few months of develop
ment: the Goldfield Consolidated
workings have already produced
$50, 600, 900 from this same con-
tact, and the Florence mine has
yielded $4,000 900 under the same
conditions. 1t must therefore be
perfectly clear that the purchase of
Diamond Valley stock at this time is.

ore zone of the camp which under
lies the territory for practically o.
900 feet and traverses it on it's dip
to the east through it's entire area.
We refer particularly to what is
known as the Columbia Mountain
Fault ore zone, which is the geOlogl-
cal structure that has caused the
deposition of many of the proven
rich ore bodies of the camp and upon
which such famous mines as the
Mohawk, Red Top, Jumbo Extension
and Florence are located.

FAULT CLOSE TO
DIAMOND VALLEY.
The Columbia Mountain Fault ore
zone has it's apex just east OF the
sharp promitory known as Columbia
Mountain. From that point it dips
east at an angle of about % degrees.
Therefore to reach the fault by per-
pendicular sinking the further ones

Of the fault the deeper one has to go

en- in the case of the Jumbo Extern
sion and Grizzly Bear shafts and
other workings in considering this
established fact it will be realized
that the property of the Diamond
Valley Gold Mining Company is most
fortunately located as the main shaft
is only 1900 feet east of the apex
and a shaft of 700 feet will tap the
fault and open it for exploration
over a very extensive area.
