GOOD STRIKE IS
MADE IN BOOTH
TWENTY-SIX DOLLAR ORE Is
EXPOSED ON 50O-FOOT
LEVEL

A discovery of considerable i'm
portance has been made in the prop
erty of the Reorganized Booth Min
ing company. The south drift on the
59O-foot intermediate level of the
winze sunk below the 50O-foot lev
ell is advancing on ore of good value.
One foot of the face is averaging $26
per ton, while six feet gives assays
of $12.2O, according to General Man
ager A. I. Darcy.
On the 635-foot or bottom level
the east crosscut is ust breaking
into the downward extension of the
ore body which the south drift on the
59O-foot level is following. From
the 5OO-foot level to the 59O-foot
intermediate level, the vein, as shown
in the winze, has a dip of forty-hve
degrees and below the latter point
thirty degrees east with a north
and south strike. From a fifty-foot
east crosscut from the bottom of the
winze. drifts north and south were
extended about fifty feet each way
along what was first supposed to
have been the hanging wall OF the
vein. A ten-foot raise above the SOUTH
drift revealed the quartz OF the true
vein and opened up small how OF
water. The east crosscut has since
been expended and, as stated above,
it is now penetrating the vein.

ing advanced in a diagonal direction
and the roof is now up fifteen feet
from the station at the top OF the
vertical raise from the 1017-foOt lev
ell crosscut. 1t is calculated that
only about ten feet additional work
will be required to make connection
with the level above.
Northeast and sO.,nwest drifts
along the ore body from the station
at the top of the vertical raise from
the 1O17-foot level are now being
advanced. The former drift Is out
fifteen feet and is exposing five feet
of $15S ore. The southwest drift
now measures six feet in length and
in the face there is six feet of $1S3
ore. Neither wall OF the vein is ex-
posed by either drift.
With the exception Of small
amount of development work In both
the Poleverda and Velvet claims, the
operations of the company are at
present being confined to the explor-
alton of the rich ore body In the

STREAkS OF ORE
IN THE MERGER
LOW GRADE DISCLOSED In NEW
CROSSCUT RAISE ALONG
CONTACT

Small streaks of low grade ore are
being disclosed by a new crosscut
raise, known as 703-F, from the
east drift along the contact of latte
and shale in the st. Ives claim of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company
from the 1265-foot level workings of
the Grizzly Bear shaft of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company.
The drift into the st. Ives claim
along the contact measures 656 feet
in length from the eastern boundary
line of the property of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company. The
new crosscut raise is going up at a
point 200 feet from the face of the
drift and has attained a height of
twenty-five feet. From the face of
the drift 703-E raise has been put
up a distance of sixty feet.

NEW LEASING COMPANY IL
SINK TO LATITE-SHALE
CONTACT

The Goldfield Spearhead Mining
and Leasing company just organized
by local business and mining men,
has taken over the Wilbur lease, for
merly known as the Wheeler lease,
on the property of the Spearhead
Mining company and has begun the
development of the ground with two
shifts of miners. The leasehold COW
ers an area 600 feet square on the
Spearhead claim adjoining the Vel
vet claim of the Jumbo Extension
Mining company.
The lease covers a period of two
years and the royalty ranges from
ten to twenty-five per cent. The
new company was organized under
the laws of Nevada for one million
shares of the par value of 81 each.
The directors are: r. s. Wilbur, F.
s. Hunt, Frank Friedman. G.. K.
Ford and Albert Billet, all of Gold
field. Officers will be elected at
a meeting to be held in the near fu'
ture.
In the early days of Goldfield and
during the time the ground en-
braced in the leasehold was Operat-
ed by the late DR.. E. A. Wheeler,
a shaft was sunk to depth of 3O5
feet. It is the intention of the man
agement of the new company to con-
tinue the shaft to the latite-shale
contact, along which the Jumbo Ex-
tension is mining rich ore in it's Vel
vet claim 1t is calculated that the
shaft will reach the objective point
at depth of between 700 and 500
feet.
On the 25O-foot level, north
west crosscut intercepted vein one
hundred feet from the shaft and a
drift was extended south upon it a
distance of ninety feet several years
ago. At point thirty-five feet from
the crosscut, the drift proves the

The vast estate of the Lone Star

1t has been tentatively decided
by the officers of the company to
sink a new shaft on the Lazy George

of the Goldfield Great Bend Mining
company has been acquired by the
Charles S. Sprague company from
James r. Davis and associates, and
plans are now being perfected for
the development of the property on
comprehensive scale, under the di-

within the past few days, as local
mining men have always believed
that the property is valuable and
possesses important possibilities.
In the early days of Goldfield,
Great Bend was one of the most ac-
tive stocks on the local list and sold
at times above 81 per share. The
company owns seven claims, the

The rejuvenation of the GOLD
field district is no longer matter
of conjecture; it is an accomplished
fact. After passing through Pc
riod of depression lasting more than
four years, during which the home
guards" who are entitled to be
known as the "giants of the desert,
never once wavered in their faith In
tho ultimate oucome of their efforts
to prove that the area of en-
richment was not limited to the
original discoveries, the camp or
Goldfield is again on the mining
map, more prominently than at any
time in it's entire history. The
sturdy toilers have proven that, de-
spite the early fabulous production,
the true wealth of Goldfield is just
being revealed and in consequence
of their untiring, patient efforts the
camp is the mecca OF the members
of the mining fraternity.
It has been demonstrated beyond
doubt, particularly by developments
at depth of late, that the ledges
which in the early boom days OF
the camp yielded millions OF dol
lars at shallow depths were but Off

THREE SHIFTS
ON BLACK BUTTE
FORCE OF MINERS TO DE IN
CREASED TOMORROW AND
WORK RUSHED

1t was officially announced This
afternoon that beginning tomorrow
the Black Butte Reorganized Mining
company will increase ats operations
to a scale unprecedented in the
last six years. The working force
will be increased from one to three
shifts of miners and the develop.
ment work will be pushed with all
possible vigor.
The company will Immediately un-
water the main working shaft from
the 150-foot level to the 30O-foot
level. 1t is estimated that this will be
accomplished within fifteen days and
then work will be resumed in the
west crosscut on the 300-foot level
with view to intercepting the down
which a winze Is being sunk at pres
ent from the southwest drift on the
100-foot level. In the winze there is
at present foot of $35 ore.
1t is calculated that the west cross
cut on the 3O0-foot level will reveal
the downward extension of the ore
body within ninety feet from the
present face. 1t is the intention of
the management to confine opera
tions for the immediate future to
work in the winze below the 100
foot level, the unwatering of the
shaft below the 150-foot point and
the extension of the drift named on
the 300-foot level, carrying all for
ward with the greatest possible
despatch.

will win it's enduring fame. OF this,
there can be no doubt.
Skeptics need only glance at re-
ports of the stock exchanges or
New York and San Francisco to
be convinced that Goldfield has
.'come back" Such reports leave
no doubt that the investing public
has renewed it's confidence in Gold
field, after it's praiseworthy and
fruitful struggle. Within the past
two weeks the trading in all local
issues not only in New York and
San Francisco but in all the cities
throughout the country has reached
a volume that can only be compared
with the early boom days of the
camp. In consequence of this gen.
eral revival of interest in Goldeld,
all the pioneers of the camp who
"strayed from home" during the pc
riod of depression to other fields
are returning in large numbers and
the resumption of operations on
properties that have lain idle for
years is now going ahead by leaps
and bounds. Goldfield has the

The Civil Service Commission is
considering the papers submitted by
more than $50 men at the examina-
ton held for the positions of Direc-
tor and Superintendent in the new
State Bureau of Employment.
The law creating the Bureau of
Employment, closely conforms to the
resolutions adopted last February by
the National Conference on Unem-
ployment in New York City.
To place the Bureau on its feet the
Legislature appropriated in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 at the recent ses-
sion. The Bureau is centralized un-
der a director, who in turn is re-
sponsible to the Commissioner of La
Dor. The principal Office will be in
Manhattan and another in Brooklyn.
Each Office is to be in charge of a
superintendent who will be subject to
the supervision and direction of the
director. The service of every Btu
reau is free. They are required to
receive applications from those seek
ing employment and from those seek

EQUAL RIGHTS


The changed status of woman in the
social scheme, and the changed at
titude (not to say sentiment) of men
toward her-brought about by the de-
mands and declarations of the ad-
vanced sisters-are evidenced not only
in the masculine rush for street-car
seats, and the determined holding of
them against all (feminine) corners;
and in the studied, deliberate, indeed,
ostentatious and haunting withhold
ing Of the small courtesies that here
tofore were extended to woman as her
just due; but in the lawn the law
that is no respecter Of persons.
Not only do the resigned, or, per-
haps. disgruntled-men folks concede
woman equal rights on the street cars

in to get them), leave her to open and
close doors herself, carry her own
