Merger Mines

1t is expected that the Goldfield
Merger Mines company will in the
near future make an announcement
as to the date upon which the lateral
development of it's property will be
resumed. Upon the occasion of his
resent visit to Goldfeld, President c..
o. Whittemore stated that, as re-
depth in the property of the Atlanta
Mines company, its neighbor to the
southwest, the Merger, would soon in
augurate work designed to prove the
continuity of the Atlanta orebOdy into
it's ground. 1t is the consensus OF
opinion that the northern extension
of the orebody will be revealed with
comparatively small amount of
work in the Merger territory. 1t is
apparently the plan of the Merger
company to defer such work until the
find has been fully explored and it's
extent determined by the manage
ment of the Atlanta in it's territory.
Jumbo Extension
According to preliminary esti-
mate, made public by Vice President
Charles S. Sprague few days ago,
the gross profits of the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company for the
month of March will, when returns
on shipments of ore made are receiv-
cd, approximate $4,000, the best
showing the property has made in
recent years. Operating expenses for
the month are calculated at $500,
which will leave net earnings of $24,-
400 During March the mine shipped
to the Millers' sampler of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company four
teen carloads of ore of the total value
of $24,4O0, while concentrates from
the treatment of ore at the company's
leased mill at Bonnie Clare are esti-
mated to he worth $500. Vice Pres
ident Sprague stated that the esti-

the established policy. The hlgh

and value of the orebodies and IN
creased production, as we'll as hlgher

GOOD HEADWAY BEING
MADE IN WORK AT VERNAL

General Superintendent Walter S.
Norris retorts that developments in
the operation of the property of the
Vernal Mining company, in the Dia-
mondfield section of the Goldfield
district, have been of a routine char
acter during the last week. Good
headway continues to be made in
drifting south on the vein of the 300
foot level for the purpose of inter-
cepting the downward extension of

fall with winze to a depth of Sc
feet below the 1OO-foot level. from

SILVER PICK CON.
VEIN GIGANTIC
EXPLORATION WITH MACHINE
DRILLS MAKING EXCELLENT
HEADWAY.

The exploration on the 5OO-foot
level of the Silver Pick Consolidated
property of the big vein of quartz
first exposed several months ago at
the 396-foot point in the main shaft,
is proving to be of gigantic size. Thus
far it has been crosscut a total dis
tance of 90 feet with no signs OF
either the foot or hanging wall ap-
pearing.
The crosscut to the west on the
5OO-foot Level in the vein was start
cd about two weeks ago with hand
steel and was attended by a slight in
crease i'm the low grade values. About
week ago the hand steel was re.
tired and the new motor equipmenv.
consisting of two-stage air compress
sor, two "a inch piston machine
drills, etc, was placed into commits
sion. Since then a crosscut to the
east has been started and the explor-
atory work has been advanced at a
rate of about seven feet day in each
direction toward the walls of the
vein. The crosscut to the west now
measures 60 feet and east crosscut
80 feet in length. superintendent
Walter S. Norris is highly pleased
with the progress being made in the
work with the aid of the mechanical
equipment and is confident that pres
ent operations will be attended by
an early discovery.

TWO-STAMP MILL BEING
HAULED TO EVANS GROUND

The two-stamp Tetrault mill pur-
chased by Joseph B. Evans and local
associates for their property. known
as the Chuckawalla mine, located in
the southern end of the Funeral
range of mountains on the edge of
Death Valley, passed through Gold
field several days ago and is now be-
ing hauled to the ground from Sho-
shone station on the line of the To-
nopah and Tidewater railroad. Mr..
Evans expects to have the mill run
ming within the next two or three
weeks. There is opened up in tun-
mel on the property a small vein of
ore that assays from $50 to $50 a
ton.

WANT MORE TINE
TO PAY BONUS
KEWANAS STOCKHOLDERS WISH
TO PARTICIPATE IN NEW
COMPANY.

Delinquent stockholders of the old
Goldfield Kewanas Mining company
are importuning the directors OF its
successor, the Reorganized Kewanas
Mining company, to extend the time
limit, scheduled to expire today, for
the exchange of old certificates for
those of the new corporation upon
the payment of bonus OF one and
one half cents a share. The direct
ors of the new company have not
vet announced what action they will
take in regard to these requests.
Secretary A. H. Howe stated that
a large majority of the stockholders
of the old company have ava1led
themselves of the privilege of par
ticipating in the new corporation by
the payment of the bonus named. He
added that only comparative few
stockholders of the old company have
failed to make the necessary remit
tances.
The property of the old company
was sold under an execution on July
%, 1918, and title passed to the Re-
organized Kewanas Mining company,
an assessable corporation. The fund
derived from the payment of the
bonus in connection with the ex-
change of the old for new shares will
be used in the future development OF
the property, which. located in the
heart of the ore producing zone OF
this district, has an exceedingly
promising future. Although the de-
tails of future operations have not
been completely outlined, it is known
that the lateral development of the
gro, nd will be prosecuted through
the Laguna shaft of the Goldfield
consolidated Mines company.

WILL WITHDRAW
PRIVILEGE GIVEN
NEW YORK ORC CORPORATION
ISSUES NOTICE THROUGH
PRESIDE>

The New York Orc Corporation
has given notice through its prssi-
rent, George A. Manning of New
York, of the withdrawal of the stock
exchange privilege afforded to stock
holders of the defunct Wonder Vul-
ture Mining company, Wonder Bald
Eagle Mining company, Dicky Won
der Mining company and Golconda
Wonder Mining company, upon the
basis of share for share and the pay
ment of a bonus of twenty-five cents
a share.
The withdrawal of the stock ex-
change privilege, it is understood.
presages the early resumption of op~
erations upon the various properties
named in the Wonder district, all
of which are well located and have
been extensively developed, notably
the Vulture. Each of the companies
named was capitalized for one mil
lion non assessable shares of the par
value of 81 each, while the New York
Orc is capitalized for ten million non
assessable shares of the par value OF
81 each and owns the controlling in
terest of the Goldfield Orc Mining
company. The combined area of the
properties of the four defunct Won
der companies is approximately 2fo
acres.
The Vulture property was sold at
sheriffs sale on January IA, 1913.

MARCH EARNINGS
OF JUMBO EX.
MINE RUN HIGH
Improved Showing of Property is
Clearly Reflected by Estimate
of Profits
FINAL REPORT FOR MONTH
OF FEBRUARY MADE PUBLIC
March Profits Exceed Those of Pre-.
yiOus Month by Over Fifteen
Thousand

The improved condition of the
Jumbo Extension mine is reflected in
no uncertain manner by the pre-
liminary estimate of the company for
it's operations and earnings during
the month of March, which was is
sued today by Vice President Charles
S. Sprague simultaneously with the
release of the final report for the
month Of February.
The final statement for February
shows that the mine produced 12I9
tons of ore, of which 1924 tons were
shipped to the Bonnie Glare mill and
5i6.7 tons sold to the Western Ore
Purchasing company. The gross
profits amounted to $16,659.47 and
the expenses to $7,5!S.9O, leaving
a net profit of $9,0SoF7, as against
s11.553.29 in January, decrease OF
s2,472.72, which is attributable to
the fact that the mill operated only
twenty days during February on ac-
count of storms and washouts that
prevented the delivery of ore.
The preliminary estimate of the
earnings of the company for March
is by far the most pleasing issued in
the recent history of the mine. Dur
ing the month fourteen cars OF ore
were sold to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company of the total value
of $24,4OO, while the value of con-
centrates from ore treated at the

GOldfield Orc
Developments of a highly crafty
ing character continue to occur at the
property of the Goldfield Orc Mining
company. After passing through fif-
teen feet of quartz and penetrating
again a stratum of the andesite for
nation, the shaft, at a depth of 1855
feet, has revealed another quartz
body of exceedingly promising ap-
pearance, which bears out the accept
ed theory as to the geology of the
territory. Manager Thomas F. Man
ming states that the material being
hOisted from the bottom of the shaft
is the most encouraging thus far en-
countered in the development of the
property and he is of the opinion that
d discovery of Importance will be
made in the near future.
Silver Pick Con.
With the newly installed two-stage
air compressor and drills working
perfectly, great headway is being
made in the exploration on the 500
loot level of the Silver Pick Consoli-
dated of the quartz body originally
revealed at the 39G-fOot point in the
shaft. CrOss-cuts, east and west, have
been advanced a combined distance
of 90 feet thus far without exposing
either wall of the vein.
G. o. ID. Con.
The property of the c. o. ID. Con-
solidated Mining company, being
operated under lease by the Nevada
Cooperative Mining company, came
to the front a few days ago with a
noteworthy development. A south
cross-cut recently started from the
east drift on the 2G0-foot inter
mediate level has revealed three feet
of excellent ore and the management
is highly pleased.
Other Properties
There were no developments out
of the ordinary during the week at
the Vernal, Blue Bull. Booth or
Sandstorm-Ke However, the
development work in each of those
properties continues to make excel
lent headway.

this error is exceedingly great; that is

farmer does not understand that ther
is a difference in the testing Of mill

that the thirty five per cent is correct.
Errors in Reading.
Another margin Of error is in the
reading Of the test, which must be made
at a temperature between 120 and lac
degrees Fahrenheit. If the reading is
done at lower temperature, the fat
will contract and show low reading:
and, on the other hand, il done at a
higher temperature, the fat will expand
and show high reading. After the
completion Of the test, it is necessary to
temper the test tubes by placing them
in water at temperature of 100 to

variation of one to three per cent might

BY instructing the patrons as to what
errors are possible, and showing then
that it is to their interest to see that
this testing is carried on properly, thu
confidence of the patrons is obtained
which is highly important in the up
building Of dairy community.
The State College sends out supervis
ors who are interested in the dairy worl
and who want to study dairy stock ant

Students Opportunity.

It is found that two or three days to
a week are usually spent at one farm.
Thus the student is given chance not
only to observe the cattle from the
standpoint Of type, but also is given
practice in official testing; and, above
all, is given a chance to discuss with the
breeder his methods of breeding and
management, which is useful experience
to the student and is impossible to OBJ
tain in the ordinary class room and lab
oratory work Of the college. The De-
partment of Darying figures that a
week spent by student out in the
field is worth month at the college.
They get accurate ideas concerning the
scoring of stock, of barns and dairies,
and in the manufacture of butter, ice
cream and cheese, and the dairy bust
ness in general. Some Of the cows the
students score in their trips are the best
lin the world. For example: Lily of
lWillowmore, an Ayrshire owned by J.
