The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-10-08

and 90 tons of ore we're shipped to the
Sutro mill.
1t is very welcome and interesting
news that comes today in the report
OF the United Comstock Pumping AS
'%iation, for the detail of pumpinr : e-
rations at the c. & G. shaft s,sows
that this morning the water was 81 feet
below the measuring point at the 1850
station, or 2,631 fe t from the surface.
THIS is the deepest point that the water
has been lowered since the decision to
get into the lower levels, and the 1850
station promises to be an accomplish
ed fact within a very short time. The
water is probably now about at the
top of the station. The two hydraulic
elevator pumps were run on about an
equal division of time during the week,
and with the muck and mud in the stump
out of the way, there will be no diff
Guilty in taking out the water on the
1850 level. Some repairs to No. / ele-
vator were necessary during the week,
caused by the mud from the bottom of
the shaft. AT the Ward shaft during
the week the undercut on the 2,475 sta
tion was carried ahead and is now 95
feet from the shaft. The usual mainte-
nance repairs were made in the shaft
where required.
At the Brunswick-Pot on the Sutro
tunnel level, the prospecting drift was
advanced 26h feet. The stringers
which have been followed have widened
out to about two feet and are com
posed of c%alcite, clay and quartz.
Track is now being built up to the face.
Hale and Norcross continued the ex-
traction of ore from the Sutro tunnel
level, and square sets were put in the
Slope below the track floor. Forty
mining cars of ore averaging $1S.72S
per ton were taken out.
In the Chollar mine on the Sutro tun-
mel level, the crosscut from the south
drift from the raise was carried out IA
feet shrough porphyry and stringers of
quartz.
In Gold Hill the past week the Vel
low Jacket mill crushed 947 tons of
ore as follows: Jacket dump rock, 223
tons; Jacket mine ore, 80 tons; Crown
Point mine ore, 1894 tons. The output
of the Jacket mine for the week was
237 cars from the raise in the surface
tunnel averaging 1904 to the ton;
l 400 level, % cars, $3.50 per ton; from
north drift No. 2, SO cars; old fill from
stope in east crosscut No. 2, As cars, as
1888. Considerable retimbering
was necessary on this level at various
and repairs were made to the
/ 900 station of the shaft. In the
Crown Point mine on the 1900 level,
work was carried on in the stope No. l
about the tenth floor, and 401 cars ex-
averaging $500 per ton. A on
~nection is being made between this
stope and south drift No. l on the 1000
level for waste for fill. On the 1,400
level the south drift No. / was cleaned
out and repaired for a distance of 80
feet, total length open 215 feet. Saved
from drift, lis cars, averaging $3.50
per ton. The arrival of the new hoist
for the Belcher shaft made it possible
to rapidly advance work there this
week, and the hosting machinery has
been placed on the foundations and is
ready for the wiring. Work was con-
tinued erecting the surface buildings.
On the 1900 level of Overman the
west crosscut No. 2 from the main
north drift was advanced ten feet, and
Is in the same formation as a week
ago. The joint Overman and Seq Bel
cher west crosscut on this level passed
through clay and porphyry and is now
out 1919 feet. On the 70 foot level of
the Confdence-Imperial an air connec-
zion has been made through an old
shaft in the main south drift. No
change is to be noticed in Overman.
