That the Goldfield district, not
withstanding it's steady production
of more than a decade, still possess

mining world to it, is made evident
by discovery that has just been
made in the property of the Talmage
Mines company on Vindicator noun
tain, in the northeastern section of
the camp, locality which in the ear
ly days gave an excellent account of
itself. The strike on the Talmage
gives further proof of the potential
ties of that particular section of the
district, and there is every reason
to believe that it will stimulate ac-
tivity on nearby properties.
At point 100 feet from the shaft
the southwest drift on the vein has
revealed two feet of sensational ore.

resulted from the exploration of a
small streak of rich ore which was

Operations at the property of the
Goldfield Oro Mining company con-
tinue to yield the most encouraging
results. The latter part of last
week was largely devoted to reliev-

RENEFIT ENTERTAINMENT
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

The benefit entertainment given
last evening at the Exchange thea
ter for the purpose of raising funds
to pay for the uniforms the mem
bers of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company's mine rescue and
first aid team will wear at the state
contest at Reno next Monday was a
great success. Two performances
were given, and at each the theater
was crowded to it's capacity.
The members of the team made
an exceedingly good showing in
their demonstrations, and their ef-
forts brought forth frequent ap-
plause. Their work made it evident
that Captain C. c. Cowan has been
putting the members of the team
through hard training for the state
contest, and they made it clear that
they can be depended upon to do
their utmost to capture the prizes
offered. The program last night in
cluded songs by Ed Walsh and four
reels of excellent motion pictures.

July, the 3-DX sill on the level in
the old Sheets-Ish lease territory was
extended and yielded 297 tons of SIG
ore. The 307-IX sill on the 450-foot
level, $50 feet east of the shaft, was
cut and produced 3G7 tons of $50
ore. A total of 1856 tons of ore of
a gross value of SIG, 6,4S6.91 was pro-
duced in July by lessees. AS royalty,
the company received the sum of

1t is probable that the Silver Pick
Consolidated Mines company, which
reduced its operations about three
fourths about month ago in conse-
quence of the uncertainty of finan-
cial conditions following the incep-
ton of the European war, will re-
sumo work on the old scale within
the next ten days or two weeks, ac-
cording to General Superintendent
Walter S Norris.
superintendent Norris states that
President Herman Zadig, who makes
his headquarters in San Francisco.
has advised him that there has
lately been a vast improvement in
the financial outlook and that stock
holders are rapidly paying up the
recently levied assessment. Accord
ingly he has instructed Superintend-
ent Norris to proceed with prepara-
tions to prosecute operations on
practically the same scale as pre-
vailed prior to the reduction in the
force of miners from twenty work
ing on two shifts to four on one.
Since the reduction in the force,
operations have been confined to
the sinking of winze below the
south drift along the footwall of the
big vein from the east crosscut on
the 500-foot level. 1t has gained a
depth of sixty feet and is exposing
two feet of quartz that assays from

Superintendent Harry B. Clapp has

Upon gaining access to the $50

tendent Clapp recently found that
the winze had become filled up with
fallen rock from a stope put above

In determining the dip of the winze
and the ore body it was known to

extraction Of ore will begin within
the next few days. A west crosscut
through the footwall in the extreme
northern end of the stope revealed
a few days ago three feet of ore that
yields assays ranging from $500
to $42.8O a ton.
On the 35O-foot level In the old
Engineers lease territory, a raise
has been started to make connection
with shallow underhand stope be-
low the 328-foot level, in the bottom
of which is exposed about twenty
inches of ore that average around
$40 a ton. Stopping has been sus-
pended in the vicinity of the shaft

JUMBO EX. MINE
SHOWS UP GOOD
BOTH POLEVERDA AND VELVET
WORKINGS ARE YIELDING
HANDSOMELY

During the month of August the
Jumbo Extension mine sent an aver
age of 100 tons of milling ore daily
to the plant of the Goldfield Consol-
idated Mines company. and, in addi-
ton, despatched two carloads or ap-
proximately 100 tons of shipping
grade rock, averaging around $75 a
ton, to the smelters through the
Western Ore Purchasing company
Such was the statement Thursday OF
Manager J. X. Turner, who returned
to camp the early part of the week
from a ten days business visit to Los
Angeles. He further states that the
mine, as a whole, is in excellent con-
dition and that development work is
steadily increasing the already
large ore reserves.
The production of the mine last
month makes it clear that it is at
present in excellent shape. There
seems to be no end to the possibili-
ties of the old Poloverda claim. in
which operations have been prose-
cuted since Immediately Following
the stampede of fortune hunters to
this district more than ten years ago.
Disclosures in the Velvet claim, ac-
uuired from the Goldfield Merger
Mines company several months ago,
make it evident that it is destined
to prove worthy competitor of the
Poleverda AS it's development by
way of the deep levels of the Pole
verda claim claim continues, the ore
bodies of the Velvet are steadily i'm
proving.
Just at present the highest grade
ore produced by the mine is being
extracted from the Poleverda claim
1t is from this grade of rock that
shipments to the smelters are beirr
made. However. the Poleverda is
also yielding large tonnage of mill
ore, which, with similar rock from
the Velvet. is sent to the GOldfield

Illuminating Gas.

Ia the Philosophical Transaction
of the Royal Society of London fol
1879 Is printed letter, written in
1851, IN which the Rev. John Clay
tor details a series of experiments
ne made in distilling coal in a re.
tort, showing not only that he had
observed the infammable gases
evolved, but that he had collected
and stored them for some time in
bladders. In 1887 Lord Dundonald
made gas from coal, with which he
lighted the hall of Culross abbey.
In 1872 Robert Murdoch began the
experiments which resulted in the
establishment of coal gas as an illu-
mlnating agent. In 1897 he public
ly showed the system he had ma
tured, and in 1898, being employed
in the factory of Boulton & Watt,
Birmingham, he fitted up an appa
ratus for the manufacture of gas
in that establishment, with which
it was lighted. This was the first
use of illuminating gas except by
way of experiment.
