LONE STAR DRIFTING
IN StvEM-FOOT vein
EAST CROSSCUT EXTENDS 3:s;5
FEET FROM NELLlGAN
SHAFT

Work of the Lone Star properay
is progressing satisfactorily. The
cast crosscut from the 252-foot
level of the Nelligan shaft Is ont
1886 feet from the station and 1t is
expected the objective point OF the
work will be reached within the
next so days; the Empire-Common-
wealth vein that crosses the Lone
Star for a distance of 700 feet and
which produced over 100000 on
the surface.
The east crosscut from the Hart
ley shaft cut seven foot vein II
feet from the station. Drifting on
the vein was commenced immedi-
ately and good prospect material
was opened in the work. Assays OF
I$S to 50 were obtained across the
face of the drift.
The vein is highly fractured and
crushed, which shows a plane al
weakness most favorable for the de-
position OF ore. The vein is in Q
contact between shale and por
phyry.
The Lone Star ground lies in wha
is regarded as the most promisins
undeveloped naturalization zone II
the 'GoMfield district and it is be
lieved by mining men that witt
proper development important orc
bodies will be uncovered. :,
The Lone Star owns aver 40
acres of patented mineral ground j
Goldfield and over 100 acres in tn
Indian mining district in Mon

said In his telegram that he would

take over the operation of the Flor
ence within 10 days.
Since the deal was first reported,
followed closely by rumors of the
hitch in negotiations, it had been
feared by Goldfield mining men in
terested in the future of the district
that the sale would never be con-
summated and the news that it has
gone through is gratifying.
The sale involves $4,000 shares
OF stock of the capitalization Of
1,250,000, of which 1,050,000 shares
have been issued. This places the
control safely in the hands of
Whicher and his associates.
Options ON the Parker and Lock
hart stock were taken by j. w.
Dunfee and j. p. Williams, with
whom Tim Connolly later became
associated. The original negotiations
that eventually led to the sale were
conducted by Dunfee, who dealt
with the Lockharts in Los Angeles,
and Williams, who dealt with Parker

will thoroughly develop the southern
part of the big territory.
In this deal the dream OF the men
who have always said that fortunes
would be taken from the low-grade
ore in the Goldfield district has
come true. Operating the big mill
at a rate of 1900 tons daily 1t
would require over five years to
treat the tonnage the Development
company has exposed, taking into
consideration only the low-grade
ore in the Combination, January,
Red Top and Florence blocked out
