.LESSEES OPEN UP
EXCELLENT ROCK
SMALL ORE STREAK REACHED
ON VERNAL 2OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Success is attending the efforts of
Walter Fitzgerald and Leonard Pet
erson, the two miners who took a
three months lease on a twenty-five
per cent fiat royalty basis on the
property of the Vernal Mining Co.
in the Diamondfield section of the
Goldfield district about three weeks
ago. when operations on company
account were suspended in conse-
qrence of the uncertainty of finan-
clal conditions, due to the war in
Europe. Fitzgerald and Peterson
were formerly employed by the COM
pany, and the fact that they were
willing TO take lease for the short
period of three months attests their
faith in the ground in no small
measure.
BY continuing the south drift on
the property short distance, the
lessees have revealed the downward
extension of the ore body opened up
by the 85-foot winze below the
south drift on the 100-foot level.
Aside from low-grade quartz, they
have exposed an eight-inch streak of
$50 ore, upon which they are rails
ing to make connection with the
winze.

ORC IS MAKING
GOOD HEAOWAY
MANAGER MANNING PLEASED
WITH CONDITIONS PREVAIL
AT PROPERTY

Excellent progress is being made
and highly encouraging results OBJ
tanned by the Goldfield Orc Mining
company in the operations on the
700 and S00-foot levels of the 825-
foot shaft. Manager Thomas F.
Manning expresses himself as high
ly pleased with the conditions pre-
vailing and believes that disclosures
of far-reaching Importance will soon
be made.
On the 700-foot level, prosecuting
west to reveal the upward continue
ton of the big vein continues. The
new drift south on the same level Is
making good headway and revealing
interesting conditions. On the 500
foot level, prosecuting in the vein
west from the north drift is being
prosecuted with encouraging results.
The north drift iself is being extend
ed beyond what was originally sup
posed to be the hanging wall of the
vein, disclosed some time ago at a
oint 10 feet from the shaft.

REVIEW Of Mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

tentialities of the company been more
forcibly demonstrated than at the
present and there is every reason to
believe that despite it's many years
of production, the property will con-
tinue to give a splendid account of it
self for a long time to come. With it's
shipments of milling grade ore to the
plant of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company averaging around one
hundred tons day, conditions pre-
vailing in the mine make it possible
to send an occasional carload of high
class shipping rock to the smelters
through the Western Ore Purchasing
company. The first August shipment
of fifty-tOn carload lot of the ship
ping rock was made few days ago
and 1T is authOritatively stated that
one or more like shipments will be
made before the close of this month.
The present output of the mine
the old Poleverda workings and the
Velvet claim, acquired several months
ago from the GOldfield Merger Mines
company on lease and bond basis
furnishes unmistakable proof of the
conditions prevailing. The ore being
sent to the smelters represents the

MAKE EXCELLENT
ORE DISCOVERY
GEORGE kERNIChE HAVE
GOOD SHOWING

A discovery of importance on
property owned by William Campbell
and George Kernicke, about nine
miles south of Tonopah in the To-
nopah-Gold Mountain district, is re-
ported by Claude Smith, an associate
of the latter in the ownership of the
old Hasbrouch property in the same
vicinity, who is at present visitor
to Goldfeld. According to Mr..
Smith, Messrs. Campbell and Ker-
nicke have opened up on the surface
of their ground foot of ore in a
ten-foot ledge that assays $25 ton.
The property, consisting of three
claims, was located by Messrs. Camp
bell and Kernicke, last January. The
ledge in which the foot of ore has
been found crops for a distance OF
about 1000 feet across the property.
On account of the warm weather, the
further exploration of the ground has
been indefinitely postponed.
According to Mr.. Smith, operations
on the old Hasbrouck property are
making excellent headway. The work
is at present being confined to rails
ing on the vein from the face of the
520-foot crosscut tunnel The raise
is now up eighty feet and is exposing
four feet of ore that averages SIS
per ton in silver and gold, the former
predominating. The tunnel gives a
vertical depth on the vein of about
$50 feet Since the resumption OF
operations last January, the property
has shipped about 200 tons of ore
to the Mcnamara mill. AS that
plant has been temporarily closed
down, shipments from the Has,
brouck property have ceased until
arrangements for the treatment OF
ore elsewhere can be made.

FOR
YELLOW TIGER
MANAGER WILKINSON NOTIFIED
OF PURCHASE BY PRESI-
DENT RIEDEL

Manager Charles d. Wilkinson of
the Yellow Tiger Mining company
announced yesterday that he had
been advised by President Fl. A. Rie-
del, whose headquarters are in Den
yer, Colo, that an air compressor
and several machine drills for the
property in this camp had been pur-
chased and would be shipped imme
diately to Goldfield. Manager Will
kinson calculates that the new
equipment will reach camp within
the next two weeks and be COM
pletely installed and in commission
before thirty days pass.
After a suspension of several
years, operations on the Yellow Tig-
er were resumed about four months
ago. The shaft was unwatered to
a point below the 70O-foot level and
the long crOsscut on that level to
the vein was cleaned out This work.
which was very tedious on account
of the water-soaked ground, was
completed about a month ago and
work on the vein was resumed. A
raise was started in the north drift
near the crosscut on about one foot
of quartz assaying about $40 a ton.
AS hand steel was being used and
only slow progress was possible in
the exceptionally hard rock, opera
tions were suspended about ten
days ago pending the installation of
compressor and machine drills.

LEGAL DISPUTE
IS COMPROMISED
ROUND MOUNTAIN MINING CON-
PANY AND LESSEES COME
TO TERMS

At a conference held several days
ago in Tonopah between the officials
of the companies involved, the suit
of the Round Mountain Mining COM
pany against the Round Mountain
Power and Water company, insti-
tuted about two weeks ago in the
district court of Nye county, was
compromised and all litigation
ended.
The suit was brought following
notice by the defendant company,
headed by David Llewellyn, to the
effect that it intended to quit opera
tions on it's lease on the Round
Mountain Mining company, which
does not expire until next May, and
remove certain sluice boxes and a
pipe line, through which the lessees
have been delivering to the plaintiff
ten miners inches of water from a
certain spring. Under the provisions
of the lease, the lessees were re-
quired to deliver the water to the
lessons, the owner of 1T, until next
May.
Following the institution of the
suit, an injunction was obtained in
the Nye county court restraining the
lessees from removing the sluice box
es and pipe line. The compromise
agreed upon permits of the removal
of the sluice boxes, but requires the
lessees to continue to deliver
through it's pipe line until 1918 the
ten inches of water belonging to the
lessons. The lessees are also given
certain rights of way for pipe lines
over the Round Mountain Mining
company ground for the operation OF
property owned by the lessees.

CONFLICTS AID
TO GOLD MINING
MINING MAN TELLS OF FEELING
PREVAILING IN THE
EAST

'It is the opinion of men of
wealth in the east that the United
States will be greatly benefited by
the present titanic struggle between
the nations of Europe; furthermore,
eastern mining men assert that the
conflict is already having favorable
effect on gold mining" said Marvin
Arnold, manager of the Goldheld
Mining and Ore Reduction COM
pany, who returned to Goldfield on
Wednesday after a months business
visit in the east While away Mr..
Arnold visited Chicago, Detroit, Mil
waukee, Buffalo and New York and
conferred with numerous mining
men and capitalists.
"When the present war began,
continued Mr. Arnold, "the bankers
were fearful that it would have a
very bad effect on the United States.
due to the heavy outpouring of gold
to Europe. When President Wilson
put a stop to the shipment of gold,
the entire complexion of the out
look changed. The bankers say that,

maintain neutrality = and there is
every reason to believe it will be
possible to do so-this country will

HAS SENT $50 TONS OF ORE TO
THE SAMPLER AT
MILLERS

The shipment to the Millers SAM

loads of ore brought the total pro-
duction up to that time to nine car

be made in the next day or two and
that the total production for the
month will thereby be brought up to
600 tons. the same tonnage as yield
ed by the property during July.
Excellent results are being OBJ
tanned in stopping south from the

the main north drift on the 150-foot
level. in the immediate vicinity of
the shaft. on the ore body revealed
about six months ago and stopped to
point above the 50-foot level drift
to the northward. The stope to the
south of the branch raise referred to
is yielding an average of four feet
OF ore that gives average assays of
from $50 to $50 a ton. However,
richer ore is frequently extracted.
and such rock is being used as a
"sweetener" of lower grade ores

JUMBO EX. Mine
KEEPS UP OUTPUT
SHIPPING ORE Is REING SENT TO
SAMPLER AT MIL
LERS

In addition to average daily ship
ments of one hundred tons of milling
ore to the mill of the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company, the Jumbo
Extension mine sent fifty-ton car
load of shipping rock to the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company Wednesday. Before the
close of the month one or two more
carloads of like ore will be sent to
the sampler, according to Vice Fresi-
dent Charles S. Sprague who Is di-
recting operations at the property l..
the absence of Manager ]. X. Turner
recently called to Los Angeles on ac-
count of the illness of his wife.
The fact that the Jumbo Extension
is able to make shipments of smelter
ore in addition to the tonnage OF
milling rock sent to the Consolidated
mill furnishes ample evidence of the
pleasing conditions prevailing in the
property, both in the old Poleverda
workings and the Velvet claim, ac-
auired several months ago from the
Goldfield Merger Mines company.
The yield of the Poleverda work
ings makes it clear that the claim.
notwithstanding it's many years OF
production, still possesses great pos
sibilities. The shipping grade ore
being sent to the Millers sampler,
which averages from $40 to $50 a
ton, is being extracted from new
stope started on a three-foot streak
above a short raise that recently con-
nected the northwest drift along the
shale fOotwall of the vein, twenty
feet below the main stope above the
97-foot raise from the east crosscut
off the main southeast crosscut on the
1O17-foot level, with the old work
ings on the 921-foot level. The south
drift along the shale footwall from
the raise above the 1017-foot level is
being extended on a full face of good
mill rock.
Excellent headway is being made in
the work recently resumed in the
face of the east crOsscut off the main
southeast crosscut on the 1O17-foot
level. The purpose of the manage
ment in resuming work in the cross
cut is to disclose the downward ex-
tension of the vein which has proven
so productive on the upper levels.
The most notable recent develop
ment in the newly acquired Velvet
territory has occurred on the
SOO-foot level where a ten-foot north
crosscut from workings extended by
the Merger company revealed the up
ward continuation of the vein. expos
ing five to six feet of $40 to SIS
ore. Above the S50-foot intermediate
level northeast drift in the Velvet,
stopping continues upward and east
ward on five to six feet of SIS to
SIS ore. Thus far the slopes have
been following up and along the foot
wall of the vein. Raises will be
started from the Slopes to explore
for hanging wall streak of ore. The
output of the slopes is being handled
through a raise from the 921-foOt
level east drift in the Velvet. Above
the latter drift. two raises have
been started, one at the face and the
other one hundred feet back, to the
hanging wall of the vein, which lays
