FLORENCE MAKES
RICH SHIPMENT
SENDS TWENTY TONS OF HIGH.
GRADE ROCK TO THE
SAMPLER

A shipment of 442 sacks, or ap-
proximately twenty tons of high
grade ore was made Wednesday by
the Florence Goldfield Mining com
pany to the Millers sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
The ore comprising the shipment was
extracted from the find made ten
days ago in a branch raise off the
main raise from the main north drift
on the 15O-foot level to the 1OO-foot
level, at a point about fifteen feet be-
low the latter.
Assays made from samples OF the
sacked ore, taken by Superintendent
Harry B. Clapp, ranged from $51
to 1882 a ton. Samples from the
face of the high-grade streak, which
has been varying from one to two
feet in width, have yielded returns
of from 1892 to $500 ton. Ore

REVIEW Of Mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

Jumbo EX., will successfully con-
clude the negotiations looking to the
purchase by the Jumbo EX. of the
Mergers Velvet claim. 1t is further
expected, in view of the strike at
depth in the Atlanta Mines company
territory, that President Whittemore
will during his present sojOurn in

the future plans of his company 1t
is anticipated that the Merger COM
pany will in the future prosecute op-
erations upon a greater scale than
ever before attempted.
Jumbo Extension
Although there were no develop
ments of an extraordinary character
during the week, the Jumbo Exten-
sion mine maintained it's usual ship

ore to the Millers sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company.

quartz vein of promising appearance

The twO-stage compressor, which
is to drive the machine drills to be

Superintendent Walter S. Norris
states that the new mechanical equip

STRIKE At DEPTH IN ATLANTA GROUND
FURTHER PROVES CAMP'SPERMANENCY

the original "stampeders" to this
district. The great depth at which
the find was made is entitled to first
consideration, proving beyond the
peradventure of doubt that the
greatest and most enduring orebod-
les of the district are yet to be re-
vealed, notwithstanding the fabulous
production of the camp in the past;
in fact. it is difficult to form an esti-
mate of the potentialities of the find.
Many mining men do not hesitate to
declare that the copper content of
the ore bears out their theory that
at great depth the great gold-silver
deposits of the camp will be replac-
ed by red metal They also point
out that the discovery proves the
continuity of the Columbia Mountain
fault plane through the Atlanta
ground. near which but more shall
low depths great storehouses of
wealth have been revealed in other
local properties.
Since the confirmation of the re-
port of the strike, there has natural
ly resulted much conjecture as to
what properties adjoining the At
lanta ground would at depth reveal
the extensions of the vein. AS the
vein strikes north and south and dips
to the east at an angle of IS degrees,
there seems to be no doubt but that
the vein will be proven to traverse
for a great distance the ground of

IJDon the confirmation several
DAYS ago by General Manager X. M.
Simpson of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany of the report rife for more than
4 week of an important strike on the
l75O-foot level of the property OF
that coplpany in the long crosscut
from the main or st. Ives shaft OF
the Goldfield Merger Mines company.
the Goldfield district assumed an
ASPECT not unlike that which prevail
ed during the exciting days OF 1906
TO 1908. The strike has had the
effect of placing Goldfield ION the
mining map" more plainly than ever
and has made Atlanta household
word throughout the United States.
Not in five years have the stock
transactions in GOldfield issues ex-
ceedcd, at least in volume, those
Of the past few days, not only To-
cally hut on the exchanges in San
Francisco and New York, all of which
is ample proof that the investing
public is favorable to this district
and expects it to come back IN
manner that will insure long life
Although Atlanta was the leader IN
the trading and upward trend OF the
market, the movement was remark
ably general, extending, in many
instances, to low-priced securities
that have been dormant for several
wears. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the improved condition OF
the market in local issues will be OF
an enduring character and that the
volume of trading will steadily in
crease.
Considering the depth at which 1T
was made, the discovery in the At
lanta estate is by far one OF the
most important developments in the
entire history of the camp, demon
strating more forcibly than any pre-
vious find the permanency of the
latent riches of the district. Special
significance attaches to the fact that
ore from the new discovery runs
high in copper content. to say moth
ing of it's gold and silver values;
giving support to the theory, held
by many mining men, that the red
metal will be found to eventually
supercede the gold-silver deposits,
upon which the worldwide fame OF
the camp has thus far been based.
Describing the strike a few days
ago, Manager Simpson said.
The first seven feet of vein mat
ter on the hanging wall side averages
by car samples from So to $40 ton
and contains some ore of the value
of $50 a ton. The next five feet OF
the vein is heavy sulphide ore which
averages $27 a ton, the value being
distributed approximately as fol-
lows: Gold, Sc; silver, $3.50; cop
per, 8 per cent. The sorted ore as
saws $50 ton. The crosscut is be-
ing continued, as no footwall has
been exposed At present, the cross
cut has penetrated the vein for a
distance of twelve feet"
Although Manager Simpson has
not since made any further state
ment, it is understood and generally
rumored that continued exploratory
work has not thus far revealed the
foot or second wall of the vein and
that the grade of ore revealed by
such operations is equally as good
as that described in his official an
nouncement of the find. 1t is ex-
