WEEKLY MINING review

improvement of late. In the develop
ment work now in progress the eff
forts of the management are being
directed to opening up the orebodies
on deeper levels. A cross-cut Is be-
ing extended on the 1017-foot level
to cut the ore on it's downward ex-
tension and the southeast cross-cut
on the fourth or 925-foot level is
nearing the point where it will con-
nect with the raise from the 1017
level, where excellent assays have
been obtained in the past.
The Goldfield Orc
Interest has been attracted to the
Goldield Orc and the work of sink
ing it's main shaft by reason of the
character of the formation in which
the bottom of the shaft is at present.
This formation is broken, full of
quartz and plainly marks the pres
ence of a vein of good appearance.
1t would cause little surprise If tie
shaft were to enter a body of pay
ore at any time as the shaft has
reached the point where it has been
expected that it would show signs
of nearing the Columbia Mountain
fault ore channel.
ReOrganized Blue Bull
The usual plan of development has
progressed on the Blue Bull property
but during the past few days a part
of the force has been engaged in
relieving timbers which have been
thrown out of line by swelling
ground. The ore in the vein opened
on the 5OO-foot level continues to
hold up well and conditions are re-
garded as favorable on the 7OO-foot
level of the mine.
SandstOrm-K Kendall Con.
The new pumping plant of the
Sandstone is working well and prov
ing a great convenience as power in
terruptions cannot now u as
much trouble as formerly. The big
compressor has arrived but there has
been some delay in installing it as
one of the parts vas found to have
been broken in transit. The entire
new plant will be in operation very
soon and the development work will
then make more rapid progress than
at any time in the past. The ore on
the 5OO-foot level continues to show
up well.
Silver Pick Consolidated
A large stump is being prepared
below a depth of 500 feet in the
main shaft of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated and as soon as this is fin
ished the new station will be cut at
a depth of ass feet and lateral work
will be conducted at this depth to
thoroughly explore the great vein
through which the shaft has pro-
crossed for over 80 feet. The big
pump is now being o%verhauled and
will readily handle all the water
that may be encountered in this
work.
@. o. d. Consolidated
There is an excellent showing of
ore on the 35O-fOot level of the Vic
tor workings of the c.. o. D.. Con-
solidated, now being developed by
the Nevada Cooperative Mining
company, headed by Charles S.
Sprague of Goldfeld and associates
and worked under the direction of
j.. X. Turner. On the 200 and 800
levels opened from the Gold Bar
shaft quantities of milling grade ore
have been exposed and the outlook
for making a producing mine of this
property is now regarded as highly
encouraging.
Other Properties
Development is being conducted
on the Talmage property under the
direction of c.. w. Hays and some
ore of excellent grade has been eX-
posed in further opening up the vein
exposed some time ago. On the Dia-
mondfield Black Butte the Willard
lease has been obtaining some excel
lent assays in driving to the east
along the line of the Quartzite fault.
The New Jersey Mines company con-
tinues to develop its ground and has
exposed some pay ore.
