GoLDFIELD. New. Sept. 1s.-Tht
Combination Fraction company continue:
TO treat about fifty tons of ore daily al
its lcnsed mill. the mill heads averaging
about SO per ton. Water shortage diff
culties have been practically overcome
and Manager Wilkinson expects within q
short time 10 increase the tonnage TO
around 100 tons daily. The plant is now
in condition TO handle all the ore that can
be readily supplied by the mine under
present conditions and the Improvements
made In the plant and additional equip
ment installed have placed things in a
condition insuring the best OF results in
ore reduction.
The best showing in the Fraction mine
continues on the 5O0-foot level, where the
ore shoot has been followed for a con-
siderable distance and is OF good Width,
while the deposit opened on the 2S5-loot
level. on the extension OF the Vein worked
last year and now being developed down
TO the S50-foot level, is making an excel
lent showing and promises a large yield
OF excellent milling ore. On the i5o.foot
level the drift which has been driven TO
connect with the Clermont workings OF
the Consolidated has been in a promis-
ins quality Of quartz. almost identical in
character with the gold bearing vein
matter OF tie adjoining Mohawk, but the
gold content of this material is not suffl
GENTLY high to render 1t profitable for
The G0o-foot Sills shaft on the Gold
Bar claim OF the c. o. d Consolidated
has been unwatered and Is being prepared
Tor extensive development from the 500
foot level The shaft. which is OF two
compartments and thoroughly tiynhered
will be continued 10 a depth OF 1000 feet,
and While operations are being carried on
at depth by the leasing company, an ar
ranSement has been made whereby the
G O. ID company will develop its terri
tory from the same shaft. Manager

Al a depth OF 1925 feet from the re-
Gently completed station In the GoldfieId
Annex shaft on the Poleverde claim OF |
the Jumbo Extension. the country is be-
ing erosscut northeast and southwest in
the expectation OF finding the vein from
which considerable production was
made on and above the S0O-roo level
The objective point from the inception of
tnis l. work has been the extension of The
Clermont vein. from which the Consoli-
dated is mining rich ore on the adjoin-
ing claim, but the vein penetrated by the
annex shaft above the Soo-foot level is
a cross lead trending nearly al right
angles with the general formation on the
Ciermont and Jumbo.
AT some point not far removed from
TINS shaft 1t is believed that the junction
OF these two large veins will be found
and at this point mining men insist that
large deposit OF ore VIII be found Both
cross-cuts from the 1025-foot level arc
out about l25 feet from the shaft and
tend drifts along the veins when they
are cut in the hope OF finding the juno
tion OF the two veins.
Lessees on the Atlanta continue devel-
oping actively at good depth and despite ,
the fact that no pay ore has been de-
veioped In sufficient quantity To pay for ,
snlpPlns they have not lost hope. The |
