GRANDMA

The drift being extended north
west on the hanging wall of the
quartz mass on the S15-foot level
OF the Grandma has been driven
beyond where it was estimated by
J. K. Turner, consulting engineer
for the company, the cross vein
found in the west crosscut from
the shaft would be intersected. 1t
is believed the vein turns north
west a short distance from the
west crosscut and that it will be
necessary to drive another drift
from the shaft to cut it farther to
the southwest, or nearer the point
at which it was found in the west
crosscut. Where found in this
crosscut assays of $14 per ton were
secured from the vein.

The Lockkart and Parker inter-
ests in the Florence Goldfield Min
ing company have been sold to l..
F. whicher of New York, who is
said to have made a fortune in
United Verde Extension, a famous
copper producer of Jerome, Ariz.,
and who is one of the principal
owners of the Gold Zone, in the
Divide district. The sale involv-
ed S1S,650 shares held by Parker
and $4,000 shares held by the
Lockhart estate, a total of 632,650
shares of 1,050,000 shares issued.
The Florence is capitalized for L.
250,000 shares of a par. value of
81 each.
This statement was made Marc 1
9 by ]. w. Dunfee of Goldfield, one
nf the men interested in the deal.
1t is generally regarded by min
ing men here that nothing could oc-
cur holding greater potentialities
for the future of Goldfield than
this sale, as it involves the en-
trance into the district of further
new capital in the hands of inter-
ests willing to spend money to ex-
plore at depth one of the richest
territories ever opened in the his
tory of mining and from which ore
that glitters is now being pro-
duced in quantity from the Witt
n-Taylor-Mechlin lease.
The three men through whom
the sale was made are j. w. Dun
fee, ]. P. Williams and Tim Con-
molly, Williams being the one who
actually conducted the negotiations
that led to the sale, .Dunfee the one
who suggested it and Connolly be-
ing associated with Dunfee in the
deal.
Shortly after Feb. 1 Williams
from New York, requested Dunfee
to investigate with view to possi-
Bile sale mining ground in Califor-
mia. Dunfee, who had been in
Los Angeles and learned that the
Lockhart estate was willing to
sell, telegraphed him that, regard
less of the ground in California, he
was overlooking "the best bet" in
the FlorsAce and explained the sit
uation to him. Williams lost no
time in reaching Philadelphia,
where he talked with Parker on
the subject with the result that
one week later he telegraphed
Dunfee that he had tied up the
Parker stock, the Lockhart inter-
ests agreeing to sell at the same
time.
Late in February F. Sommer
Schmidt, a prominent mining en-
gineer, came to Goldfield and in
spected the Florence. While lit

the Tonopah Divide claim, is being
sunk from $50 to 800 feet, the

Assays as high as SIS per ton
