Show THE BLIZZARD ; I I Ik wkB Wmm 1 aiain m mmw L I -A Monster Prospect of Goldfield j I Subscriptions for Treasury Stock Invited at 10c per Share. I, H - Blizzard Mining Company of Goldfield owns In fee simple a group of nine mining" claims on the great east-west mineral zono of tho Goldfield district. Development work has just been begun. 1 H Half a dozen big quartz ledges crop on the surface. They are from 20 to CO foot wide and from 1,000 to 3,000 h foot long. An assay of $34 per ton In gold was obtained on tho surface last' month. On this spot tho sinking of a i I shaft has been started. It is a monster "prospect." Mining engineers stamp it as having hotter surface Indications ,, than tho Jumbo or January of Goldfield, which have produced $3,000,000 in bullion tho past two years. jl Tho holdings of tho company are described in tho report of Mining Engineer J. F. Mitchell, which Is reproduced H jlS below. J. F. Mitchell was formerly one of tho leading mine operators of Colorado. At different times he was general f manager of the Uto & Ulay mines at Lako City, Colorado; general superintendent of tho Yankee Glrl at Red Moun- $ tain, Colorado, and of tho Enterprise at Rico; afterward general superintendent of tho famous January mine at Gold- jv: v field; consulting engineer of tho great Jumbo, and at present general manager of tho Portland mlno in Goldfield. I Mining Engineer9 j Report ifujj, Goldfield, Nov., Sept. 18, 1905. r-T Ilc President niul Board of Directors, The Bllzznrd Mining; Company, Goldfield, Nevndiw Jl 1 Gentlemen; At your request I have examined the Blizzard group of mines, situated four and ono- !j f half miles east of the town of Goldfield, in Nye County, Nevada, and beg to submit herewith the following jl C reportt , ! I, NUMBER, OP CLAIMS. Tho Blizzard group consists of ..even full and two fractional claims, or, In tho i aggregate, 150 acres of ground. These are by name: Blizzard No. 3, Eagle Bird, Butcher Bird, Sunny Slope, li Sparrow, Hornot, West, Swift Fraction, Bollevuo Fraction. 11 LOCATION OF PROPERTY. This group of claims is located In tho eastern section of the great Ijj minoral zono of Goldfield in tho Goldfield Mining district, Nyo County, Nevada. This section of tho zono, i! J which first shows prominently in tho Red Top mino at the western base of Columbia Mountain, is at present i ; a center of very considerable activity. On tho zono aro situated all of the most prominent mines of tho I . camp. During the past eighteen months this belt of mineral has yielded over $6,000,000, although tho li i. R deepest workings aro only 320 feet below tho surface. In all history of mining such a record has not before r been equaled. LL SURFACE SHOWINGS. In no place along- this mineral zono can more distinctively flattering show- i ings be found than on the Blizzard group. No less than fivo prominent quartz fissures stand out boldly II above tho surface, indicating tho lino of vein formation that characterizes all portions of tho "Golden I i Horseshoe," as tho bolt is frequentlv termed. These outcroppings all show pronounced mineralization, car- II rylng manganese or iron, ono of tho truest and most positive Indications of value and permanency. III In my examination of these surface showings I took samples from every outcropping. All of them II gave assay returns in gold, proving conclusively that they aro all enriched by the precious metal. Very h ! few, If any, of the great mines of tho district presented such pronounced Indications of tho occurrence of 1$ - bodies of hlgh-grado ore beneath tho surface at relatively tho same period of development, nor did I IE jt obtain such flattering assay returns from tho Jumbo, January or numerous other properties that are now IE great mines, from surface or. In view of these facts.I consider tho Blizzard tho equal of any property in II - tho district In prospective worth. I TITLE. Full and clear title to tho property is vested in tho Blfeard Mining Company. I' CONFLICTS. I am unable to find, from maps and my own personal investigation, any possibilities of : conflict. All veins showing- on these claims apex In their own territory, thus assuring tho company all I- extra-lateral rights that may accruo to tho ledges. Surveys have beon mado by competent engineers, and posts have beon sot at all corners, sides and centers. H I . FORMATION. Tho surface formation is porphyry, and is identically the same as that surrounding I Ij all of tho best mines of tho district. There aro, in addition to tho fivo quartz fissures that crop out so I If boldly, decided Indications that several more may bo disclosed with some intelligent prospecting. The width . H M I of thoso dikes varies from 20 to 60 feet. Tho veins aro mostly pure silica or aro heavily sillclfled. Heavy I ji I: aohro stains arc found In many places, and on all sides may bo seen tho most positive indications known I to mining of heavy and permanent enrichment in gold. From every viewpoint the Blizzard will compare I N ' most favorably with any undeveloped acreage in tho camp. U I ASSESSMENT WORK. Assessment work has been completed on every claim in tho group, In strict I I conformity to every requirement of tho mining law3 of Nevada and tho local laws and customs of tho dls- I I I I DISTANCE FROM WELL KNOWN PROPERTIES. Tho Blizzard group of mines is situated In direct I 1 t line with tho formation of tho main vein systems of tho district. This vein system is Indicated at surface m Ij- by a series of parallel dike or fissure croppings that have a north-of-east and south-of-west course. On I - tho Blizzard, these dikes show boldly abovo tho surface, and aro distinct in outline. Tho vein system re- I It ferred to is boldly marked along Its course, passing from tho Red Top hrough tho Jumbo, Combination, Florence, January and February, Atlanta, Lone Star, Slmmoron, C. O. D., Gold Bar, Dixie all mines of tho H K first importance and tho Blizzard, Winuaor, Davenport, Into tho main backbone of the Goldfield unllft m K v represented by Knickerbocker and Black Cap mountains, finally disappearing, so far as surface showings K Indicate, In tho desert to the eastward, ten miles away. Tho Blizzard Is less than half a mile away from H tho Dixie, which has beon developed into a great mine, with workings down to a depth of 320 feet Tre- K mendous bodies of medium grade ore have been blocked out in tho mine and await extraction. They will H not bo disturbed until tho mino is equipped with a milling plant. The Dixie is the only mlno in tho eastern i H belt that has been systematically developed, and tho fact that It shows such immense bodies of good ore H t may bo taken as a guarantee that properties farther east will develop into equally as Important mines I with intelligent work. Tho surfaco showings on tho Blizzard far excol those found in that locality, lndl- I m eating richer oro bodies than those of tho Dixie. mmM, I ASSAYS. The following assay returns I obtained from samples taken at random from different I l ledges on tho property without any previous knowledge of values shown: No. 1, $2 gold; No. 2, $34. GO gold; I MMM 1 No. 3, $1.70 gold; No. 4, $28.S0 gold. 1 mmi REMARKS. In Its every feature tho Blizzard Is an exceptionally attractive mining proposition. n mmmh ; Its ledges and outcrops aro as fine looking as any In this camp; tho property Is in every respect access- H mm! iblo, and presents no difficult features of mining; a good road, open tho year round, connects tho group mm with the town of Goldflold. I consider the Blizzard group in every sense worthy of thorough dovolop- mm' mont, and firmly believe that an aggressive campaign of work will undoubtedly place it in the list of pro- f Hi Q ducers of high-grade oro of tho district. Respectfully submitted, mW r 'I ' MITCHELL, Consulting S. Mining Englnoor.
