Clara D. Lease Sold
[?} Arthur yesterday sold his lease on the north end of the Clara D. lode on Gold hill to Kansas City parties for a good round cash consideration. The purchasers will begin work at once and push things until the vein which has been opened on the surface is thoroughly tested.

A shaft has been sunk on the property forty-five feet, but not on the vein. A crosscut will be run from the bottom of this shaft to catch the vein.

1Info Title:
Clara D. with Important Discovery
AN ENORMOUSLY RICH FIND IN THE CLARA D

——————

The Property is Owned by the Lexington Company

——————

WILL BE A DIVIDEND PAYER.

News of an important discovery in the Clara D., on Gold hill, that will shortly make a dividend payer out of the Lexington, leaked out yesterday. Some days ago in the level at 158 feet, some 70 feet from the shaft a narrow vein widened out to three feet, half of which is rock that will average anywhere from 40 to 50 ounces in gold to the ton.

The moment it was found, work was started for it at the 190-foot level, and here it was found as strong and rich as above. In each level it has been drifted on for 12 feet, and it appears to improve with every shot.

This vein is the extension of the Maloney vein on the Anchoria Leland and in the chute found on that property it did not take long to extract $100,000 worth of ore.


Here is one case where lessees missed a fortune. When Horner and Black worked the property General Manager J. S. Jones begged them to drive the drift that he has since, and offered to pay them $4 a foot for the work if they would only comply with his request and this they refused to do.

If the present showing on the Clara D. holds out for a fortnight it will mean that the Lexington will become a dividend payer.

Lexington Lessee Might Use E. Porter Gold King Shaft Due to Fire
The fire which totally destroyed the shaft-house and machinery of the Lexington Gold Mining Co. on the west slope of Gold hill recently will not interfere with the plans of the company to a great extent.

The head-frame, ore-house, and trestle were saved, and the present lessee, Iver Weston, will probably hoist his ore through the shaft of the E. Porter Gold King until an electric hoist can be installed.
