the ore shoot for this width averages about a ton goldfield news it is reliably reported that an extraordinary discovery has been made in the quartzite mine the story as told is that 0 on n tuesday morning several shots were put in to what was supposed to be the hanging wall of the vein and that a body of marvelously rich ore fully four feet wide was exposed after this remarkable discovery was made further investigation was started and it has since been demonstrated that the so called hanging wall is a body of high grade ore extending to the lowest level in no place does this ore body show a width of less than four feet and sylvanite is found in abundance we are unable to verify the report but our information is from a trustworthy source and we have no reason to doubt the authenticity of it tonopah bonanza it was reported a few days since that a rich find consisting of a ledge of an average width of fifteen feet and three thousand teet feet in length richly stained with fluorine had been made on the property of the lige harris bullfrog mining i company compa n y at bullfrog fluorine in the cripple creek mines has always been accompanied compa nied by sylvanite and cal bellu rides of gold among the richest gold ores known the presence of fluorine is regarded by a great many expert miners as being almost positive proof of the presence of the tell urides and it is believed that with depth the property upon which the find was made will prove to contain the tell urides fluorine is positive evidence of the volcanic nature of the formation and insures the permanency of the ore deposits to a great depth by reason of the strike on OD the lige harris property and the recent strike of sulphide ore in the bullfrog mining companas comp anys shaft permanency ot of the camp is

golden anchor but in view of the fact that the news has such an important bearing on the welfare of the camp and contains so much of encouragement to those who are investing their money in the development of properties on the west side it is but just that I 1 should give out the facts it is true that we cut a big ledge early in the week and the crosscut has now penetrated the ore body 25 feet the values are arc good assays essays running as high as the best informed mining men of the district believe the ledge is the western extension of the great macdonald ledge of the montana
