The Butte Goldfield company. of
which L. L. Patrick of Goldfield is
president, adjoins the Randolph No.

The development work is confined
to the Randolph No l claim and
was performed to develop the Butte

Lateral work has been done in
the shaft at 81. 100, 200 and 400

Mr.. Turner states that drifts win
be extended in the vein ON the 200

drifting has been done from this
shaft.
The ore is lead carbonate and
lead sulphide, containing gold and
silver, the lead being an invariable
indication of the presence of the
precious metals. The ore is of two
grades, milling and smelling. In
quantity they stand in the relation
of 10 tons of milling ore to me of
smelling. The average value OF the
smelling ore is $40 per ton and
THAT of the mill SIS per ton. As

Nine tons of smelling ore shipped
gave an average return of $36.61.
According to Mr. Turner, the
formation of Gold Mountain is prin-
cipally granite, though the west and
southeast base is composed of
j;quartzite, shale and limestone. At
the extreme base of the mountain
and east of the Washington Gold
Quartz claims is a strong intrusion
of rhyolite through the sedimen-
taries. This intrusion has a north
strike. Through the Randolph"
claims in an easterly direction there
extends strong intrusive dyke of a
porphyritic nature, difficult to
classify owing to surface weather
ing, but which is believed to be a
dacite porphyry. This dyke is con-
sidered of great importance and it
is believed the ore genesis or the
Randolph" vein is closely related
to it.
There are two principal veins in
the group, crossing each other in
the Randolph No. l claim, near
where the shaft is sunk. At least
the veins join at that point and may
constitute one vein following the
dyke. Their divergence is clearly
shown west from the shaft. The
outcrop of the vein along the noun
tainside to the east of the shaft is

only two referred to commonly, but
there are a number of wins aside
from these that have never been

as the gold" vein changed the
srike so as to make it enter the
silver vein far to the northwest, as
the veins, according to opinions in
the past, are farther apart as they
extend west. The entire fact of

A considerable amount of this ore

FLORENCE PRODUCES
OVER 100000 IN
30 DAYS
STEADY PRODUCTION EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE FROM FLOR
ENCE DIVIDE

The purchase price of Lockhart
and Parker interests In the Flor
ence is said to have been about
100000. l.. E. whicher and his
associates who bought this stock APP
pear to have made a fairly good
deal, for during the past 80 days
the gross production of the mine
amounted to s109,430.52, accord
ing to preliminary estimates made
by e. A. Byler, engineer for the
company.
This includes $s3,033. the esti-
mated value of the Florence Di-
vide high grade" shipment; $500
from four carload shipments from
this lease since the big one; $10.-
097.52 from SO tons shipped by
the Giles lease, and $1,000 from a
carload Of ore shipped by the Arm
old lease.
A steady production of ore of
high shipping grade is expected to
continue Indefinitely from the Flor
ence Divide lease. A number of
other lessees are now preparing to
ship.
A crosscut on the 35S-foot level
recently entered the orebody in the
Florence Divide and a drift has
been driven 35 feet in good ore in
which stopping will be started in a
short time. Raising and stopping is
continuing from the 400-foot level,
four machines being used in devel-
opment work to one in Stopping.
Peter Juol, superintendent, states
that the force of miners employed
will be increased soon, with a cor
responding increase in the rate OF
shipments.
Many inquiries are being made by
prospective lessees, who are plan
ming to develop blocks in all parts
of the mine. Tom Kendall recently
applied for a lease on a block in
cluding the Daisy shaft In the Corn

The Washington Gold Quartz Min
ing company, owning. the noted
Randolph group, consisting of 151
acres situated in the Gold Mountain
district, 40 miles southwest OF
Goldfield and nine miles from Bon
ME Glare, the nearest railroad
point, is planning to start work on
a large scale. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars was spent in
development of the mine before it
was taken over by the Washington
Gold Quartz company and the pro-
duction of ore was large.
The Washington Gold Quartz is a
reorganization of the Randolph
Mining company. A. S. Terrell OF
Chicago, a cotton planter and owner
of timber lands, and who was the
principal backer of the old COM
pany, is president of the new or
ganization. J. X. Turner is general
manager.
The shares of the company are
selling on the New York curb at
,79 to 81 cents. The main office is
in New York.
For a long period small force
of miners has been employed by the
reorganized company in preliminary
work and now, financing having
been completed, as many miners as
can be used economically will be
employed for additional develop
ment of the noted old producer. An
auto truck will be purchased for
hauling supplies to the mine.

ENGINEER REPORTS ON SILVER DOLLAR

Following is report on the
property of the Tule Silver Dollar
Mining company, made by Z. s.
Giles, well known Goldfield mining
engineer:
The property of the Tule Silver
Dollar Mining company, consist
ing of five full claims, approxi-
mately 100 acres, and named as
follows: Silver Dollar, Silver Dol
lar Nos. 1. 2, and 5, and the Silver
Bulltoh, lode mining claims. is To-
cated~about As miles southerly from
Goldfieid, on the eastern slope OF
Death valley. in the Tule mining
district, Esimeralda county.
|, Title tp the property is good, be-
Ing held BY right of discovery and
location by the present owners.
The property lies we'll up on the
slope of a steep mountain, at an
elevation of about 3400 feet
reached by an easy grade from the
valley. 1t may be reached either by
way of the Lincoln highway to Ida,
thence easterly, eight miles down
Tule canyon to Sand springs, thence
four miles to the workings; or by
way of Hornsilver down the ORR
entail wash to the property This
latter is much the nearest road, and
very little work will make it avail
able to bring in supplies and ship
out ore.
There is sufficient water for mill
ing and domestic purposes at Sand
springs, four miles westerly, and
500 or 500 feet lower than the
workings.
Timber suitable for stulls, tagging
and camp purposes can be obtained
some six or seven miles distant.
The country rock is biotite gran
ite. with lime and shales exposed on
the westerly edge of the property
There is very little overburden OF
wash. and the solid formation is
everywhere apparent, making intel
ligent prospecting much less diff
cult.
There is every evidence of dis
turbance throughout the granite
and "slickensides" or fault planes
show throughout the workings. The
numerous crevices and fissures
showing on the surface bear evi-
dence to the disturbances which
have occurred in the vicinity
These disturbances are very neces-
sary to the deposition of ore. cre-
at,ng the fissures which allow the
mineral bearing solutions to perco-
late through.
At various points in the granite
are instrusions of igneous rock. and
1T is very noticeable that the values
are found in the vicinity of these
intrusions.
Considerable ire is apparent, both
in the oxide and sulphide, and val
ues found are closely associated
with this iron.
The dyke containing garnets'
found on the Silver Dollar No. l is
probably the result of IAN intrusion
of an igneous rock, with the lime
stone.
The property was worked a num-
ber of years before Tonopah or
Goldfield were dreamed of, and the
ore was hauled to Austin, nearly
500 miles, for treatment.

erty was abandoned, until taken up
