The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-12-18

this will be obvious to anyone ex-
aiming the maps. The rich ore
exposed on the 200 and 300-foot
levels makes mine by itself. By
opening the 500-foot level and
should the proportional increase of
values be located on that level ii
proves up the Red Hill Gold Circle
property as one of the richest in
the state.
SO far as developed the work on
the 500-foot level shows, as antici-
pated, much higher values than on
the levels above at the same posi-
ton in and near the short crosscut
from the shaft. The values on the
500-foot level are given by dates.
On November 16, near the shaft
the assays were 1851; on November
%, with further progress in drift
ing the values were $685., and on
December 5, when still further ad-
vapces had been made the values
were $21.37. Since that date the
face of the drift shows considerably
increased values. In speaking of
the work on the 500-foot level the
circular says:
"The demonstration on this level
should be most highly gratifying to
the stockholders, as it is to the man.
agement, whose faith and expecta-
tions have been more than vindi-
Gated. We feel safe in saying that
this discovery is one of the most
important that has been made in
years in the precious metal mining
business of the country.
1--WE have removed all doubts as
to the downward extension of the
vein to great depths, having proven
an additional depth of 23O feet.
1t is also shown that at this depth
The vein has almost doubled in
width, and that the values, while
low, as was expected at the point
of discovery, have shown most
gratifying improvement as progress
has been made in drifting toward
the ore shoots proven in the upper
levels.
"The conditions thus far shown
on this level fully sustain the re-
ports of numerous eminent engin-
GERS that on this level the values
and width of the vein would far
exceed those on the upper levels.
Moreover, in this aspect, we are re-
peating the history of the Elko
Prince mine, whose oebodies, in the
same identical formation, and which
increased constantly as greater
depth was attained, have been prov
ed to depth of 956 feet or 456
feet deeper than our present 500
foot level. Total footage of ore
developed in the Link mine at this
time is IT'S feet in length"
The assay map of the Link sec
ton shows that on 100-foot level
there is continuous orebody 115
feet in length that averages S34.27
over width of Is 1-2 inches. On
the 200-foot level there has been
exposed continuous orebody for
a distance of 315 feet that "anges
n values from $14 to $114.27 per
.on. On the 300-foot level 345
feet of continuous ore has been
exposed that ranges from $20.38 to
S158.5O per ton.
These orebodies have been ex-
posed in the property for some time.
1t was done by previous owners.
The Red Hill management since
they took over the property have
had these assays checked and in
many instances the checking has
showed higher values than the first
report.
The work of the company has
been to explore the 500-foot level.
To do this the shaft had to be con-
tinued from the 270-foot level to
the 500-foot and a short crosscut
extended to the vein. Heavy pumps
had to be installed and the shaft
put in commission for electricity, air
line and other shaft equipment. The
question has been asked, "Why
don't the Red Hill take out some

is exposed on the 500-foot level to
any great distance then ore may
be raised from both 500 and 300
foot levels and even the 200 and
100 if so desired.
Mean time a short shaft has been
put down on the Reco claim which
in part sidelines on the Missing
Link claim. On the Reco the ex-
tension of the Missing Link vein has
been exposed. 1t shows very rich
