the 97-foot raise from the east cross
cut from the main southeast cross
cut on the 1O17-foot level, at a
point twenty feet below the floor of
the stope above the raise, northeast
and southwest drifts on the vein
along the shale footwall are being
advanced. The former is yielding
five feet of $3.50 ore, and the latter
seven feet of 1882 rock.
Florence Goldfield
The Florence mine gave splendid
account of itself during the last
week, which is shown by the fact
that thus far this month the ship
ments to the Millers sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company
have exceeded more than 800 tons.
1t is safe to predict that the total
production for the month will be in
the neighborhood of that of June,
which amounted to $50 tons. Stop
ing continues above the main north
drift on the 50-foot level on the ore
body revealed several months ago in
branch raise from the main raise
above the 150-foot level main north
drift, in the immediate vicinity of
the shaft. The face of the drift,

Despite the fact that operations
were not marked by any unusual de-
velopments, there was a continuance
during the last week of highly salts
factory conditions in the various
properties of the Goldfield CONSOLE
dates Mines company, their produc-
ton being normal. The preliminary
estimate of the production and earn
ings of the company during the
month of June, recently made pub
lie by A. H. Howe, secretary and
treasurer, furnishes an excellent in
dex to the conditions prevailing in
the properties. During last month
the company mill treated z5,924
tons of ore, from which an estimated
gross extraction of $2S5, goo was
made. Expenses of operation to-
tailed $155,0O0. leaving net profits
of $4,000.
Jumbo Extension
J. X. Turner, general manager OF
the Jumbo Extension mine, is author
ity for the statement that practically
it's entire output is being treated by
the ten-stamp and eleven concentrat-
ing table section of the mill OF the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany given over to it. 1t has been
found that the plant can handle the
higher grade ore even better than
the mill grade rock, upon which an
excellent saving has been made ever
since shipments to it began about
two months ago, when the Jumbo
Extension company ceased sending
it's output to it's leased mill at Bon
ME Glare, south of Goldfield.
Manager Turner states that re-
suits thus far attained show that the
higher the grade Of ore the better
the percentage of extraction by the
mill, which, coupled with the fact
that the sending of skipping grade
ore to the smelters entails greater
cost, makes it advantageous to send
virtually the entire output of the
property to the Consolidated plant.
The extraction being made by the
mill sometimes runs as high as nine
ty-one per cent, but the average is
around eighty-five, with the rock
concentrating at the rate OF about
twelve into one.
Conditions of highly pleasing
character continue to prevail in the

CALL IS LEVIED
BY SANDSTONE
NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS EN-.
BODIES REPORT UPON THE
PROPERTY

The board of directors of the Sand
storm-Kendall Consolidated Mining
company, at a recent meeting, levied
a call (No. 81 of one cent per share
on the capital stock of the corpora
tion, which is payable Immediately.
Any stock upon which the call re-
mains unpaid on August 10 will be-
come delinquent and sold on Septem-
ber IA, 1914. The notice of the call
mailed to stockholders embodies a
financial statement showing the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the COM
pany from November "a until July 6.
The former amounted to $54,394.6O,
and the latter $51, 1,6O9.79, leaving a
cash balance on hand of $2,7S4.81.
The balance of the company's prin-
cipal Indebtedness at this time
amounts to $4,000.
The annual report of A. 1. Darcy,
general manager of the company, is
also included in the notice to the
stockholders of the levying of call
No. 9, and follows:
During the year ending June 30,
1914, total of 1858 feet of develop
ment work was accomplished, divid-
ed as follows: Drifting, 13491s feet;
prosecuting, SIT feet; raises, $40 "
feet, and wines, GO feet. The cross
cut east from the Kendall shaft on
the 5OO-foot level was advanced 224
feet, making a total of 713 feet, and
at a point $50 feet east of the shaft,
where the crosscut was expected to
cut the contact between the Milltown
andesite and SandstOrm rhyolite, a
large quartz vein was encountered.
This vein showed silicification for a
width of 80 feet and seven feet of
quartz on the footwall gave values
of from 50 to S. per ton, while from
a small streak on the hanging wall
assays of from $40 to $50 per ton
were obtained; this ore also contain
ed a considerable copper content.
Drifts were advanced north and
south along the hanging wall streak
for distances Of III feet and 10 feet,
respectively, but The values were
found to be very erratic and irregu-
lar. and ore of sufficient quantity to
allow of economical mining was not
found. Raises were driven in the
vein for distances of about 80 feet
above the 5OO-foot aevel, but the val
ues could not be followed above this
point. A hanging wall raise showed
the Mirltown andesite contact with
the Sandstone rhyoqite to be about
IS feet above the 50O-foot level, and
the andesite was found to be lying
in an almost horizontal plane.
In addition to the development
work mentioned above, as having
been done on the 500-foot level, a
number of crosscuts and drifts were
run, but nothing of Importance was
encountered.
On the 100, 200 and 350-foot lev
els, drifting was done along the con-
tact between the Midtown andesite
and Sandstorm rhyolite for distances
of approximately 200 feet on each
level and good values were obtained,

RICH DISCOVERY IS
MADE IN THE VtRNAl
ONE FOOT OF SENSATIONAL ORE
DISCOVERED IN NEW
DRIFT

One foot of ore assaying $1,6S4.82
a ton has just been revealed in
drift south from the bottom of the
S5-foot winze below the south drift
on the vein on the 1O0-foot level OF
the property of the Vernal Mining
company in the Diamondfeld Sec
ton of the Goldfield district. The
drift has been advanced distance
of about twelve feet. At that dis
tance from the winze the streak Of
ore is eighteen inches wide and
Welded values of more than 500 a
ton General Superintendent Walter
Norris estimates that the entire
streak of ore for the distance disclos-
ed will average better than $3.50
ton.
The winze has been going down
on the footwall section of the vein
and a connection of it with raise
on the hanging wall from the 200
foot level south drift was recently
made. In prosecuting from the
hanging to the footwall to complete
the connection in miner-like fashion,
Superintendent Norris has extracted
considerable ore of excellent values.
Thus far the work has yielded about
eighteen tons of ore. The rich rock
from the new find is being mixed
with the ore already extracted, and
it is estimated that the entire lot
will average more than 5000 a ton.
A shipment of all ore extracted up
to Monday, July 27, will be made on
that date. Drifting on the 200-foot
level to get under the new discovery
has been resumed during the last
few days.

J. N. Fulton, assistant general
passenger and freight agent of the
Southern Pacific railroad, returned
to his office in Reno this morning
after a business visit of one day in

the shaft is yielding about two and
half feet of SIS to $40 ore.
A good tonnage of ore continues
ito be extracted in stopping operations
north and south of the shaft on the
200-foOt level. The north face of the
stope is yielding about six feet of
$40 ore and the south an average of
four feet of SIS rock. Preparatory
to raising on three to four feet OF
500 ore on the hanging wall side of
branch vein of the main Florence
vein, the work of drawing the "fill"
from an old stope above the north
drift from the west crOsscut on the
J25O-foot level was begun during the
last few days. The fOOtwall section
of the vein was mined in the early
days of the property and yielded a
large tonnage of rich ore.
Goldfield Oro
Although there were no develop
ments of particular Importance, con-
ditions at the Goldfield Orc continued
exceptionally pleasing during the
last week. Drifting north and south
on the 610-foot level of the 825-foot
shaft has practically been suspend
ed, and operations are for the pres
ent being largely confined to putting
up two raises above the north drift,
one fifty-five and the other seventy
five feet from the station. The first
raise was started the early part of
the week and is now up about twenty
feet, while the second was begun
Wednesday and is up about ten feet.
VeTnai
The property of the Vernal Min
ing company in the Diamondfield Sec
ton of the Goldfield district came to
the front during the week with an
excellent development in the shape
of the disclosure of one foot Of ore
assaying $1,684S2 per ton in a drift
south from the bottom of the S5-
foot winze below the south drift on
the 10O-foot level. which recently
"holed' through and connected with
a fifteen-foot raise from the 200-foot
level. The rich ore has been
stripped for length of twelve feet
thus far and samples taken indicate
that the entire body will average bet
ter than $3.50 a ton. Recent opera
tions in the winze, incident to COM
