Reports from Randsburg and Johannesburg detail continuing mining developments, 180 acres across 10 claims with surface showings and a tunneling shaft, plus Wortley Consolidated Mines figures showing 1851.11 ounces gold and 450,306 ounces silver in 1980, with leasers on the Kelly mine’s No. 6 shaft aiming for carload shipments. Nevada editorials note a renewed interest in gold mining as a potential economic tonic, citing Lovelock and Reno dispatches and a New York World editorial.
