but it all goes in with the general break
of the vein.
In the old Higginson lease workings
a great showing is being made. Where
the leasers stopped from two to five feet
of ore and believed that they had tax
en- the cream of the deposit, slopes are
now being raised across a width of
twenty or twenty-five feet that carries
from $50 to SIS per ton for the entire
break as far as has been developed at
this point. Portions of the ore are low
er grade than that average, but there
are streaks of much higher grade ma
terial equal to what the leasers extract
ed and that hold the general average up
to a nice figure. This ground is being
" sauare-set'' in the work Of Stopping,
and development is showing the great
possibilities Of this territory for high
grade milling ore in immense quantities.
Anew series of slopes is being opened
on the second level, north of the Red
Top shaft, from which a big production
will be made. Between the second and
third levels along this part Of the mine
workings the ore has been blocked out
with numerous upraises from the third
level, showing an almost uniform en-

PHENOMENAL DEVELOPMENT

~.howk. Jumbo and Red Top veins. As a first evidence of what IS
.no o underground, there are certain activities going on on surface
s.onud the collar of the shaft that shows that something of a very
.nres;np nature may be expected below.
Everyone around Goldfeld knows what a 'changeroom" means
:. mine. 1t means that there is ore in sight in the workings at which
!. 70 constructed. On the dump, convenient to the Clermont shaft, a
a.banperoom' 6Ox2O feet in size, with preparations for easily ex-
..rdno its scope and accommodations, is being constructed. Some
,uu ideas will be introduced in it by Superintendent Joe Donnely,
wbo has charge Of the Clermont shaft and the Red Top and Jumbo
workers. There will be no lockers in the center of the room, thus
varving from the usual custom, and the timekeepers desk will be in
se center instead of at the end of the building, and the entrance will
also be centrally located, opposite the timekeepers desk. Lockers will
be around the sides of the room, and wash and bath rooms at ends.
Grading is now under way for a spur from the main line of the
Consolidated railway to the Clermont dump, and ore bins of 500 tons
enacty will be constructed so that the ore can be dumped from the
sips IS they come up the shaft and then drawn out iio the railway
att the lower end of the bins. 1t is expected that within the next
working in the Consolidated mines through the Clermont shaft. The.
most modern equipment in the way of electric lighting, telephones.
and electric signals is being installed, and every preparation being
made for extensive and up-todate work.
On the third or 6O0level, which is connected with the Mohawk by
an S9Ofoot crosscut, a crosscut is being driven north to reach the Red
Top vein at a vertical depth of approximately 270 feet below the
fourth or lowest present level of the Red Top. This crosscut has been
driven 1854 feet from the shaft, but still has considerable distance to
90 before reaching the vein. Conditions in the lower level of the Red
Top Indicate that splendid bodies of milling ore should be encount

READY FOR HEAVY OUTPUT

survey line without variation, the work has been in ore for 200 fee
with but two breaks in pay values, for about twelve and fifteen feet
along the drift. This peculiar development of the crosscut becoming
a drift on ore is explained by the fact that the Macmillan shoot has
made a radical bend # sweep, and by accident the theoretical or
crosscut survey line hit it and has followed in the ore for 200 feet. and
is still in values. The average break of the n along the drift has
been approximately $50 per ton, although at times it has u I'D to
$50 and 800, with small punches encountered in the drift that would
assay much higher. This crosscut-drft has been driven from the
shaft toward the Mohawk territory 532 feet, and still has about 200
feet to 90 to reach the objective point for which it was started. The
full width of the ore shoot has not been definitely demonstrated. but
prospecting by short crosscuts on each side of the drift near where
the ore was struck shows it to be at least 30 feet wide, and its limits
can only be decided by further exploration.
Superintendent Donneny intends to soon start a raise on the orr
from the 730 level to connect with the point where a certain indi.
vidual was caught high grading where the crosscut went through
the ore shoot on the 600 level some months ago, and was later pyep
a prison sentence for his indiscretion.
In the fifth or S6Ofoot level, a erosscut is being driven to reach
the hanging wall of the original Jumbo vGnb and another crosscut is
being sent out toward the Mohawk territory and practically under the
erosscut-drift above. The Jumbo crosscut. is out 282 feet from the
shaft and is now in the ledge, which is showing small values. Tn.
Mohawk crosscut starts from a point along this crosscut about $50 feet
from the shaft, and has been driven POI feet toward the Mohawk. 1t
20 feet more.
No lateral work of any Importance has yet been done on the 1000.
foot level, where prosecuting has but recently begun and has progress
ed only about Is feet. Work on this level has been hindered by water
and the delay IN receiving an electric pump which is to be installed in
a pump station that has already been prepared.
From the splendid development on the 100 Level, and the great
strength the ore body is maintaining, there can be no possible room
to doubt that the $50 and 1000 levels will prove up the ore at these
depths when the laterals have reached the points where ore can reason.
ably be expected The formation at the 1000 level is practically the
same as in the level above. so far as now demonstrated.

Development in the Red Top work
ings during the past two months has
been merely a continuation of the good
results that have marked the work
throughout the history of the property.
Telephones and electric signals are be-
ing installed here the ame as in the
Clermont workings, and other improve
ments being made underground to
facilitate the general mining work. An
output of about 225 tons per day is be-
ing maintained at present with a com
paratively small force of men.
Driving to the north on the third or
26O level, connections have recently
been made with the old Higginson lease
on the Mohawk, and the south drift on
this level has connected with the work
ings Of the Consolidated Red Top lease.
For a distance of practically 1900 feet.
there are almost continuous slopes OF

from $25 to $50 per ton, the ore bodies
ranging from five to twenty feet IN
width. Small streaks and lenses OF
"high grade" are of frequent occur
renee through these big bodies OF ore,

richment for hundreds of feet.
The fourth or 330-foot level has been
driven south $50 feet, with a good show
ing of mill ore ranging in value from
$40 to $50 per ton. The best part of the
ore zone, as demonstrated on the level
above, has not yet been reached. The
north drift has been advanced 300 feet
and is approaching the proven ore zone
in that direction.
1t is quite probable that all develop
ment of Red Top territory below the
fourth level will be conducted through
l~aterals from the Clermont shaft, the
first of which is now being driven at the
rate of six feet a day and has progress
ed 365 feet from the shaft. Wines
will be put down on the ore shoots from
the fourth level of the Red Top and
they will be met by upraises from the
lateral now being sent out on the 600
level of the Clermont shaft.
The Red Top is making a great show
ing of ore over an immense expanse of
development, and while the average
value is not equal to the Mohawk and
Combination, it can certainly 60 some
in the way of production whenever it
is called upon to stretch itself a little.

milling ledge, with good indications for
better values.
Watson and Bluett have been doing
some surface prospecting on the Little
Pete group and have uncovered a new
shoot that will pan about 800 in gold.
They will do considerable development
to prove up the new find.
The Golden Arrow mill in Halves
canyon, a few miles from the main
camp of Golden Arrow, is to be re-
modelled and used by the Nevada-BelIe-
helen Mining company for the treat
ment of ore from the Cornforth mine.
There is an abundance of water for a
mill of 100 tons capacity.
DR.. Elftman says that the entire dis
trict is making a very encouraging
showing and that since the railway
seems to be assured within a compare
lively short time, many new people are
coming in to inspect the mining pos
sibilities.

employing the resources of that dis
trict. He reports that the various min
ing interests are making good progress
in development work and accruing re-
suits, and that everyone interested in
that section is greatly encouraged by
the probability that the Ely-Goldield
road will within the near future be
running through the district and open
ing a market for their ores.
On the Mascot mine, owned by the
Kawich Consolidated Mining company,
the 25-h. D. Western gas hoist that was
recently installed with a 30-foot gal
lows frame, is doing good work in az
sisting progress on the accompaniment
shaft, which is now down 10 feet deep
and shows a nice body of milling ore
that averages $40 a ton. A blacksmith
shop, corrugated iron hoist house, and
a timber shed are among the recent sur
face improvements.
Captain Cotter is sinking on the Cot
ter group again, the shaft being 800
feet deep, and will be sent down to
400. The showing is very good, but Mr..
Cotter expects to have to drift to the
north to catch the main ore shoot that
is opened in the workings above. The
captain has just returned from the
coast, and is figuring on putting uI
a mill to treat the ore from his prop
erty.

CRYSTAL CUSTOM MILL
SHIPS ITS FIRST BRICK

The first gold brick to be made at a
Bullfrog district custom mill was sent
from Rhyolite the first of the week to
the United States mint. 1t was han1,en
through the First National Bank.
The brick represented the first
cleanup of the plates at BE Crystal
Bullfrog mill at Mill Junction, four
miles east of Rhyolite.
The weight of the bullion is not an
nounced, but the results Of the trial
run on Denver ore are said to DC very
satisfactory. The plates savel close
to 20 per cent of the gold contssts.
No cleanup of the cyanide hss been
made. The mill 10 working custom

LEASE Is LOOKING
PINE IN LOWER WORKINGS

PIONEER, New, Sept. The nan
agement of the Pioneer lease announces
an improvement in values in the east
drift from the winze. The report that
shipping is to be resumed at once is
not verified, but it is given out that a
decided change for the better has taken
place, and in all probability the drift
will soon be yielding shipping product.
The main Pioneer vein is being ex-
plored here. the width being close to
80 feet, with the dip the same as on
the upper levels. The vein will be ex-
plored thoroughly, and with the size
of the vein and ever increasing values
in drifting, the outlook is promising.
No. Is drift is being extended due
west from the Wine, and the drift to
the south Of the WINE is also being
pushed ahead. On the 210 level, q
drift is being run to the west toward
the Richard Garberg lease.

ton in January, 1905. Although for
merly identified with the conservative
or clerical party, Gen. Reyes adopted
some of the principles of the liberals
which aroused the bitter enmity o.
the conservatives. His most radica
departures from the policies of his
predecessors were the separation OF
church and state and the establish
ment of capital punishment for trea
son, which previously had been lightly
dealt with.
Before becoming president Gen
Reyes had spent many years in the
military and diplomatic branches OF
his country, one of his posts having
been minister to France. He is 9
man of wealth, with large estates in
the province of Cauca. Gen. Reyes
rendered distinguished service for his
government in the rebellions of 1885,
and 1895.
Gen. Reyes quietly left Bogota
some time ago for Santa Marta, on the
Atlantic seaboard, where he boarded
steamer for Europe. At that time
it was reported that the general had
abandoned office, and it was openly
asserted that his voluntary resigna
ton from Office or a revolutionary
coup was the only possible solution o,
Colombia's political troubles.
