DETROIT DIVIDE TO WORK MINE IN CALIFORNIA

Joseph B. Evans, Tonopah min
ing engineer and president of the
Detroit Divide company, owning
claims in the northwestern part of
the Divide district, adjoining the
New York group, has taken over for
the company the Carbonate mine in
San Bernardino county, California,
five miles from the Nevada border
and two and one-half miles from the
Nevada line.
The Carbonate mine is the New
York mining district. situated in a
mountainous region. Thirty thous-
and dollars has been spent in deve!.
oping the claims over period of
three years and as a result the
ground is now considered to be a
valuable prospect. The ore con-
tains silver, copper and lead, two
thirds of the metallic content being
in silver. The lead occurs in such
small quantity that it is of little
value, the ore really being silver
copper.
The claims are developed through
a 150-foot drift tunnel which reaches
a depth of $50 feet in the vein. One

THE estimated net profit after
deducting mining costs, including
development and mill construction,
is $1,450,000 for each 100 feet of
depth. After inspection by Mr.. Fyn-
ney it has been decided that the
policy of the company will be to
carry on intensive development until
May 1, when construction of a cyan
ide mill of at least 100 tons daily
capacity will be started. We hope
to have the plant completed before
November 1 of next year. Tests of
the ore have been made by the Bel
mont and Montana people of Tono-
pah and they say Cactus ore is iden-
tical with that found in Tonopah."
After his return from the mine,
Mr.. Fynney said:
II am very much .enthused by the
showing in the property. In fact I
found. far greater showing than
was represented to me and my as
sociates in Boston and New York by

hundred feet of development work
has been done in the tunnel in cross
cuts and drifts in shoots from the
main ore-channel. The outcrOps OF
the vein. five feet wide, has been
traced for 1900 feet. Alta depth of
$50 feet the vein is from 35 to 40
feet wide. the maximum width of
the ore being five feet Two ore
shoots have been opened in the tun-
mel, one so feet long and another
95 feet long. five feet of ore now
being exposed in the face.
The ore is a sulphide and 20
ton coneentrator, by former owners
used in treating it, is at the tun-
mel entrance. A three-drill air COM
pressor was put in place recently
and it is planned to use one drill in
continuing the tunnel and in stop
ing, the ore being shipped until
small flotation plant can be built.
The claims owned by the company
In the Divide district are said to be
on the extension of the vein opened
in the Apex Divide. No work has
been done on them aside from sur
face trenching.

COMPANY TO mine FOR COAL
80 MILES FROM YERINGTON

to q depth of 1000 feet below the
present workings, taking into con-
sideration the general topography
and extensive area of the sandstone
formations. In the upper tunnel
the coal measure hardens under
pressure and at point $50 feet
from the portal there is four feet of
solid black Ignite, while in the face
of the tunnel, 425 feet in, the vein
is even wider and the coal of better
quality.
In the shaft now being sunk on
the lower vein, at a depth of 25
feet, the coal is improving rapidly
in quality and the vein is over six
feet wide. 1t is probable, though,
that the vein penetrated by the core
drill will prove to be the best yet
found on the property, and its de-
velopment will be watched with in
terest.
At meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the company, which was
held on the oath. the manager was
authorized to buy three caterpillar
tractors and IL trailers, and also to
receive bids for the building Of
bunkers and the mining of coal. 1t
is the intention of the corporation
to use the tractors and trailers for
hauling of coal to the railroad sta
tion at Wilson until such time as a
spur trace is built to the mines.
The present plan is to put the
company on a paying basis by the
development and marketing of the
coal, and later to sink well to
the oil sands which the geofogists
believe lie at depth. Regarding the
oil possibilities, the following is a
quotation from the statement of
Mr.. Price after his examination of
the district: ION this trip I found
many fossil evidences that this area
Of shale and sandstone is of ter
tiary age aAd belongs to the same
series known as the Greenwater
formation, which is petroligerous in
parts. of Wyoming, Utah and Colo
RADIO. The freedom of this area
from ingeous intrusions and faults
is favorable condition for the re-
tention of oil. / would recommend
that you investigate further my sur
mise as to the exact location of the
axis of this fold and then resort to

and it is meeting with gratifying re-
suits.
On the north end of Majuba Hill,
fully a mile from the main work

pected and assays of as high as s
per cent copper and nine ounces
silver to the ton have been secured.
There have been no important de-
velopments in the tin oreshoot of

as a side issue by the Majuba peo-
pie, where 500 tons of one per cent

ner, owners of the c. & A. group of
five claims. brought in for shipment
10 sacks of ore valued at $4,000.
This ore comes from a hole less
than six feet deep. The vein has
been traced for a distance of 600
feet and ore is now being sacked
which assays over $500 per ton.
Samples have been taken at
points along the vein, the best of
which assayed 5000 ounces silver
and 33 per cent lead. The width
of the vein is still undetermined.
The vein is said to be in lime shale
contact
A touch of romance is associated
with the find in that Anderson's
partner is well known young
woman of Nina who early last
spring assisted him in preparing doc
uments in connection with claim
against the government. Out of
gratitude for this Anderson made
the young woman full partner in
all claims he might stake, and what
this means to her is evidenced by
the fact that G.. A. Noble, who owns
ground close to the c. & a. group,
this morning offered her $4,000
cash for her interest in the single
claim on which the discovery was
made.
Another group of claims in the
same district, known as the Horse
shoe group, owned by Anderson and
his partner, is under option for $25,-
900 to a we'll known mine operator
of San Francisco, so the young
woman, but short time ago a stem

in fair way to become independ-
emily wealthy.

MNz AND FYNNEY TALK cACUsYOW TIGER IS BASIS OF BIG DEAL

of all the companies is about $50
acres.
H. G. McMahor. secretary treas
urer for the Goldfield neyeloment
comany, and A. l. Darcy, general
manager for that company, will be
directors of the new organization.
H. A. Riedel of Denver, for years
president of the Yellow Tiger, will
remain on the board of directors.
The active management will be in
charge of Gordon M. BEETLES of Gold
field, who has returned here from
Denver after conducting the negotia-
tions involved in the deal. Mr.. Bet
ties states that the 1000 stockhold-
ers of the Yellow Tiger are anxious
to co." particularly the holders of
largest blocks of stocks. The main
officers of the company will be
moved to Goldfield and the affairs
of the company will be direcred by
some of the most widely xn)~L ard
competent engineers and nine oper-
ators in the state.
No definite decision has been
made regarding the mining to be
done by the new company, as this
involves the prospecting of the
surface of the claims, with atten-
tion to the results secured by other
companies owning nearby ground
The company has taken over what
is regarded as the most promising
undeveloped territory in the district
as it is considered by engineers
that in instances where work has
been done it was at unfavorable
points for opening ore. The main
development consists of 772-foot
double compartment shaft on the
Yellow Tiger. equipped with a 40
foot steel head frame and eight-drill
compressor. Good shafts and s.
equipment are on the claims OF the
other companies.
Although no announcement of
policy has been made, there is little
doubt that the company intends to
devote considerable attention to the
Jackass group and the Red Lion
claims. The Red Lion territory at
it's nearest point is 400 feet from
the Yellow Tiger workings.
= The Yellow Tiger shaft has levels
at 400, 900 and TOO feet, good as
says having been obtained ON the
lowest level before mining was
stopped. These assays showed from
a trace to AS gold. from 4 trace to
1852 ounces silver and from a
trace to 14.43 per cent copper. The
vein on the lowest level is 70 feet
wide
The importance of the organiza-
tion of the company lies in the fact
that it involves the development on
large scale and under competent
management of the most important
parts of the outside" district,
where an intelligent search for ore
has never been made, according to
mining engineers who have studied
the situation. In a number OF in
stances recently this kind OF min
ing in Goldfield has produced re-
markably good results, with indi-
cations that continued work of this
character may lead to valuable dis
coveries.
The most welcome news that
Goldfield can hear is that another
company is to work intelligently out
side the "proved zone," as 1t is in
this zone that the future of the dis
trict lies, aside from the work be-
ing done or planned by the De-
velopment and Florence companies
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-12-06

Joseph F. Nenzel, father of the
Rochester district and the promoter
of some of Nevada's most important
and successful mining ventures,
has taken under his wing the Cactus
district, "a miles east of here and
tributary to Goldfield, and recent
developments indicate that in the
Cactus Nevada he has what he will
develop with aid of his associates
into one of the states heavy silver
gold producers. Mr.. Nenzel, ac-
companied by Joseph Fynney of the
Boston real estate and brokerage
house of Fynney and Cutter, who
have financed the Cactus Nevada for
$2SO,000, recently inspected the
mine. Mr.. Fynney was born in Aus
tralia and, having had considerable
experience in mining. is far from
a novice in the art of finding treas
ure where nature has hidden 1t, al
though his partner. Albert H. Gut
ter, and the clientele of the firm
they are interesting are all. new in
the mining industry. This intro
duction of brand new capital into
Nevada silver mining means much,
not only for Cactus; but for the en-
tire state, particularly as the initial
venture appears to assure big
profits.
The Bailey group of seven claims
in the Cactus district was taken over
by Mr.. Nenzel last May for a price
reported at the time to have been
$4,000 and prospecting since then
has revealed sufficient ore to com
vince conservative eastern capital
that further look into the ground
is worth over a quarter of a m,aisn.
M. E. Bailey, from whom Mr.. Mem
Eel purchased the group. devoted Is
of the best years of his life to their
development-achi success at
an suspicious time when silver as
king of the metals is by leaps ana
bounds gaining greater. internar
tional realm.
The main working shaft of the
Cactus Nevada is 200 feet deep. is
vertical, and is sunk 10 feet from
the vein. The main development
has bean done at depth Of roo
feet, where 500 feet of drifts have
been driven. A crosscut at 165 feet
has exposed ore 20 seet wide, four
feet on the footwall of the vein as
saying 80 ounces silver and $3.50
in gold, the next four feet Is ounces
silver and the remaining 20 feet 10
ounces silver The vein, true fis-
sure, has a width of 100 feet, the
best ore being found on the walls,
Thirty-five samples taken along the
outcrop of the vein for distance
of 1000 feet gave an average assay
return of over 15 ounces silver and
81 in gold. The claims of the COM
pany cover the vein for a distance
of $500 feet. The ore-channel, ac-
cording to Mr.. Nenzel. can be traced
on the surface for one and one-half
miles. The vein cuts through rhyo-
lite and andesite and is replace
ment channel, the richest ore being,
found for from four to 20 feet on
the walls. Water appeared in the
shaft at 165 feet.
The mine is opened by three
shafts aside from the main one, ex-
posing, according to MFR. Nenzel, lat
least 100000 tons of 15-ounce sill
yer ore." IT is planned to sink the
shaft to 500 feet as rapidly as pos
sible, with stations for lateral work
at 1OO-foot intervals. drifting and
crosscutting to be done while sink
ing continues. Mr.. NenZel said:
