Show JESSUP MINES, NEVADA, ARE NOW SHIPPING Gold King Ore Returns $200 Per Ton in Gold. "The third Khipment or ore rrom the Gold King property at Jessup, comprihing a little more than twenty-ono twenty-ono tons" said Walter Taylor to a "Review" man yestemay, "ha.s been shipped and settled ror. The ore was bent to the sampler at Hazen and the returns are much better than any previous pre-vious shipment from the Gold King, showing nearly $1200 -net returns in gold to the ton. It Is a hard matter to state when another consignment will be forwarded as it is our Intention Inten-tion to sink the shaft deeper and develop de-velop moro extensively before any more shipments arc sent out, says the Lovelock Review. "Just as soon as practicable a sub-'ftaiitial sub-'ftaiitial hoisting plant will be Instali- ed. An order will bo placed In a few days for the machinery and everything ev-erything will be dono to hasten tno plant to Jessup, where it will be Installed In-stalled at once. The shaft which is now 100 feet deep will be sunk to the 200 foot point from where a crosscut cross-cut will be run to the ore snoot. When the crosscut is well under way, sinking sink-ing will again be resumed and continued con-tinued to the 300-foot level. We expect ex-pect to encounter a nigger shoot of ore and better values at the 200 and it is more than likely that while development develop-ment is In progress a shipment will be taken out. "The showing in the winze sunk in a drift from the 100-foot level is extra good. There Is ore not only In tho winze, but in a number of smaller small-er crosscuts and drirts, but owing to Hie oxtra work in raising the ore and wheeling for the long distance. It has been decided to sink deeper and raise on the shoot." Mr. Taylor Is more than pieasea with the work being done throughout the camp and says tho properties now under development are showing up giving a general resume of tho district he said tho Eureka group, owned by Rat If ff. Loose and MacK, would enter the list of regular producers. produc-ers. The shaft on this property has been sunk to a depth or 120 feet and at this point a station has boon cut preparatory to commence stoplng. A car of ore will bi taken out at onco :nd a trial shipment made. ' The orn body shows a width. of from one to four feet, most of which will ship with very little sorting. The management manage-ment has announced that plans have been made to install a hoist and It is likely another sixty days will see this property equipped with a first-class first-class plant, which will enable them to develop on a much larger scale than heretofore. The Jessup Mines company started its new 15-horsepower hoist last Monday Mon-day and tho work of sinking to the 200-foot level is being hurried along at a rapid rate. Ben Harris and Tom Frazier received receiv-ed their G-horsepowor prospect hoist Monday evening and It was hauled to the camp Wednesday. This plant will he installed on the Portland No. 3 and extensive development work carried tut. Tho White Canyon Mining company has a 15-horspower hoibt working and under the supervision of Joseph Mackedon development work is progressing pro-gressing rapidlj'. The saart is now 115 feet deep at which point vein matter, mat-ter, nhowiDg free gold, was encountered. encounter-ed. It is believed the ledge Just being be-ing entered is the one wnich outcrops just north of the shaft ana which dips toward the south. This company will, if nrthing unforneen happens, continue the shaft to the 200-foot point beroro crosscutting and drifting is commenced. com-menced. Murray and Jessup arc crosscutting from the bottom of the 40-foot shaft, which was recently sunx on their Jack Pot claim. The crosscut will be run to the contact where something in the sensational line is looked for. ' It is reported around the x amp that the Stewart Mining company will shortly resume work and that tney will also install hoisting macnincry. This company has a, shaft 95 feet deep and the ledges thus far show excellent values. Mr. yaylor said that Jessup had a very bright outlook and that Its destiny des-tiny as a big gold producing district was practically an assured fact. |
