srRINoERs OF ORE SHOW
IN KEwANA CRoSSCUT

The crosscut from the 450-foot level
of the Kewana is now in about 22O feet,
and according to surveys still has about
IS feet more to go to catch the Kewana
or Jumbo vein, which has already been
proven up by a 350-foot inc.:ae saaft.
A good body of ore was opened in this
incline, but the workings had to be
abandoned on account of water. Con-
ncctions will be made with the bottom
of the incline by an upraise for ven
tilating purposes after the vein is en-
countered by the crosscut. Small
streaks of mineral are now appearing
in the crosscut, and it may be possible
that the dip of the vein may be changed
so that it will be reached in less dis
tance than the survey indicates. Man
ager Louis Schloss is confident that he
will have big mine when he taps the
vein at this depth.

GOLDFIELD SOVEREIGN AT
WORK OVER q MONTHS

A very promising showing is being
made by the Goldfeld Sovereign com
panv ON it's Johnson claims, about
three and one.half miles northeast of
Goldfeld, and mile and a quarter
south of Damondfeld. The company
has been working continuously for the
last twenty-one months, and has ex-
pended total of about $27 900 on de-
velopment work. Operations are in
charge of G. G. Newcomb, an old-timer
in the Goldfield district.
There is strong ledge coursing
through the property, and its outcrop
can be followed mile. The surface
showing is good, and encouraging as
says have been had from development
work as it has progressed. The main

During the past few days an excep-
tionally promising streak of ore has
been under development in the Daisy
Florence lease, in stope above the 200
foot level, and there is strong posi-
bility that it will develop into quite an
important find. Early in the week 1t
showed five inches of ore that gave
s22S1O per ton under careful mine
sampling, and with it was well-min-
eralized streak of quartz carrying high
grade milling values, and averaging
about two feet in width.
General conditions have improved a
great deal dunng the week, and yester-
day there was two feet of good ship
ping ore, with spots of mich higher
grade mixed through it. 1t is not yet

I,AGUNA HOIST is BEING
MOVED TO RED TOP SHAFT

The big electric hoist which has been
doing duty on the Laguna shaft OF the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines company
is being removed from there and VIII
be installed at the Red Top shaft, to
take the place of smaller plant that Is
now being used there. This indicates
that the Consolidated company is get
ting ready to make heavy production
from the Red Top, where immense
bodies of splendid ore are now exposed
through hundreds of feet of develop
ment. The showing on the 6oo-foot
level is said to be one of the best in
the entire Consolidated estate.

was put down $50 feet, and drift run
430 feet at the 200-foot level. A strong
flow of water finally compelled tha
abandonment of the main shaft, and a
new one was started on the vein at the
southern end of the claims. This shaft
is equipped with whim, and is down
155 feet. The vein faulted at 140 feet,
ana the shaft is being continued in an
effort to pick it up again. The vein
showed width of eleven feet before
faulting.
The company has other property in
various parts of the Goldfeld district,

The Baby Florence continues as err
ratio in its expiring days as has ever
been its mood throughout its checkered
history. Basking for while in the
smiles of Dame Fortune and then
eclipsed by darkening shadows of un-
favorable developments, it has been q
shuttlecock of uncertainty. Two weeks
ago it looked like bonanza, but be-
fore the slopes had gone up 90 feet
from the l50-foot level, the ore plnched
out in both stopes-at least, the ship
ping values disappeared. The new
hoist that was feverishly erected on the
Wallace shaft to help shoulder the
burden of pulling up high grade never
got a chance to turn wheel, and not
a pound of ore ever found its way into

Preparatory to the work of drifting

lease on the Union Jack claim of the
Atlanta company, the shaft is now be-
ing retimbered between the 200 and 300
levels. They have been drifting at the
$50, but results were as good as had
been expected, and they win try to
find pay ore at greater depth. The
vein is very large at this point, show
ing a strong outcrop of oxidized quartz
and ledge matter, and it is probably
only a question of depth and persiss-
ent development work to open up pay

The ore is quartzy and considerably

Mr.. Reed is authority for the state
ment that the railway is to be COM
pleted within short time. There are
many and cogent reasons why the road
should become operative in the shortest
possible time, chief among which is
the fact that it is needed in the busi-
ness of mining as a rapid and capable
agent in transporting ores to milling
plants in the vicinity of Schurz. 1t is,

striking appearance or grOtesque form,
whereas they should be chosen mainly
for their use and only somewhat for

should be allowed to choose the trees

Trimminu of Trees.

1t is generally appropriate on the APP
proach of spring to annually utter a
note Of warning concerning the trim
ming of trees. More or less pruning
or other care IS necessary every year,
either to promote health and vigor, re
move dead wood or to induce desirable
changes IN form or growth, but such
work should never be done except by
expert tree men. AS has been often
said in these columns, every kind of
tree must be treated in accordance
with the needs of the particular kind;
the elms have their peculiarities, the
oaks their ard so on, and only men
with a thorough knowledge of these
conditions should ever be permitted to
prune tree. In all communities
