Show MAYFLOWER ANOTHER MOHAWK miner rhyolite nev with specimens taken from the seven foot face of the south drift at the foot level of the mayflower running respectively 1600 and 2800 and the entire face of the drift running to the ton the mayflower this week breaks the record of the bullfrog district and establishes tab lishes beyond doubt its supremacy three weeks ago the miner reported 16 feet of ore in the crosscut cross cut at this level with an increasing values as the work progressed since that time the distance has been increased to twenty two feet the wall is not yet in sight but it has been given out officially that the solid twenty two feet gives a showing of 26 on last monday in the south drift three feet south of the crosscut cross cut a body of ore was encountered embodying the whole breast of the drift which showed 58 but on wednesday the climax that is the climax to date when three of the directors of the company accompanied by several invited friends took a breakdown break down sample on canvas and quartered it which ran it was at this same time that picked specimens from the same seven foot face ran 1600 and 2800 respectively ively this face is widened and growing richer as the work proceeds it lies so far as developed in a wedge form the edge of the wedge was first encountered and they have been chipping it off with the foregoing results since it is still widening it is presumed that the main body has not yet been reached the company ordered by wire yesterday a compressor plant comprising a 90 horsepower engine capable of running 12 air drills which they expect to install and have in running order within the next 60 days this will increase the facilities wonderfully as the ore is of such a hard character that hand work has been very difficult the formation has changed from anything heretofore found there are two kinds of quartz in the seven foot face of the drift brown and bluish white the brown which occupies about four feet is literally spattered with gold it pans but the white does not but the white shows up in the assay it runs higher than does the brown and yet shows no lio colors all ore from the south drift is being sacked in its entirety from 5 to 30 ounces of silver show in all assays essays on the foot level the north drift is out 10 feet with a 6 G foot breast averaging 24 to the ton the main working shaft situated 18 fee north of the mayflower shaft I 1 is near the old starlight shaft and is down feet it has just come into ore of low values they are just dropping on the ledge which shows 2 4 and 5 stuff the strike in the south drift at the foot level has settled all questions about high grade ore in the bullfrog district and has led to the confident statement that this district now has a mohawk with indica tioff that others will follow |
