MINING REVIEW

covery. In an area of previously
unprospected ground on the $50
foot level, in the vicinity of the old
Baby Florence and linn leaseholds,
an east crosscut from the drift on
the Baby Florence vein has reveal
ed a new vein, which stands per-
pendicularly. The full width of the
new discovery has not yet been de-
termined. However, the first elev-
en- feet of quartz exposed gave val
ues of 81 to IS per ton and the
next four feet returns assays vary
ing from IS to $50. The November
output Of the mine totalled approx
imately 700 IONS of ore, according
to General Superintendent Harry b.
Clapp.
Great Bend
The firm of Charles s.. Sprague &
Company, which controls the Jumbo
Extension mine, has just concluded a
deal with James R. Davis and asso-
ciates whereby it has acquired con-
troll of the Goldfield Great Bend Min
ing company. While no reorganiza-
ton of the company is likely, the
Sprague interests will select new
officers and directors. These will
probably be the men constituting the
official personnel of the Jumbo Ex-
tension company. Plans are already
being outlined by the new owners
for the development of the Great
Bend territory, comprising seven
claims in the Diamondfeld district,
on al extensive scale. In the early
days of this camp Great Bend stock
sold above 50 a share and the prop
erty was developed to a considerable
extent in a systematic and miner
like fashion, the operations yielding
quantities of ore averaging from
$40 to 500, with occasional lots of
high grade rock.
Silver Pick Con.
The new strike on the 500-foot
level of the property of the Silver
Pick Consolidated Mines company
is responding s%plendidly to ex-
ploratory operations. In a raise to
the hanging wall of the vein, started
just below the collar of the winze in
the south drift from the east cross-
cut, there has been exposed -four feet
of SOS ore. A branch raise from
the main raise above the same drift
and Immediately over the winze has
revealed the same ore body, which at
the new point measures three feet
in width and gives values of SIS per
ton. A third raise to intercept the
drift level at the bottom of the main
raise.
Merger and Atlanta
Streaks of low grade ore are being
revealed by a crosscut raise in the
st. Ives claim of the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company above the east
drift along the latite-shale contact
from the 1265-foot level workings
of the Grizzly Bear shaft of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company.
The new pumps recently installed
in the Merger shaft to make possible
the resumption of exploratory work
in the Union Jack claim of the At
lanta Mines company are success
fully handling the large volume of
water flowing from the Atlanta
workings.
GOldfield Orc
After a brief suspension of oper-
atoms. the Goldfeld Orc Mining
company is again active. Operations
are at present being confined to the
drifts on the SOO-foot level and the
west crosscut on the 7O0-fOot level,
in all of which highly encouraging
conditions prevail.
ReOrganized Booth
Important discoveries have lately
been made in the property of the
Reorganized Booth Mining COM
pany. The south drift on the 500
foot intermediate level has exposed
one foot of $26 ore and six feet Of
quartz giving average values of
$12.2O. The same ore body has
been revealed in a short raise above
the east crOscut on the 625-foot or
bottom level.
SandstOrm.Kendall
At the Sandstorm-Kendall a new
winze has gained a depth of twenty
five feet below the south drift on the
35O-foot level on ore ~assaying from
50 to SIS per ton across the entire
bottom. Another Wine will soon be
started from the east crosscut on
the 50O-foot level on a foot and a
half of $44 ore.
DiamOndfield Black Butte
The Diamondfield Black Butte
Reorganized Mining company has
increased its operations from one to
three shifts of miners. The main
shaft will be unwatered from the
$50 to the 3OO-foot level. following
which lateral work will be resumed
on the latter level.
