AS direct result of the sale OF
its Velvet claim to the Jumbo EN-
tension Mining company and the dis
closure of ore on the 1750-foot level
of the property of the Atlanta Mines
company, its neighbor to the south
west. the Goldfield Merger Mines
company, after practically suspen-
sion of development work of three
months. will Immediately resume OPP
erations on a scale to be determined
by General Manager X. NJ. Simpson
Such was the recent announcement
nv President c. o. WhIIIemore of the
Merger company.
In an interview upon the future
plans of his company and the outlook
of the Goldfield district, Mr.. Whit
temore said
THE Merger company started op-
erations on it's property on October
10, 1911. Up to November 10, 1913,
it expended in the development and
equipment of the property, the sum
of 54,414.13. Practically all OF
that amount was spent for equip
ment. the sinking of the shaft anu
running the crosscut at the 132"
foot point in the shaft to connect
with the Grizzly Bear workings of the
CoIdfiald Consolidated Mines COM
pany. The expense of crosscutting
out into the Atlanta ground and part
of the expense of sinking the shaft
from the 1900 to the 1750-foot point
was borne by the Atlanta Mines com
pany. This expenditure was made ir

BODY OF QUARTZ IS
CUT IN ORC SHAFT
DEVELOPMENTS INDICATE THAT
IT IS NEARING THE PAY
ZONE

Late developments at the property
of the Goldfield Orc Mining company
augur well for it's future and bear
out to a marked degree the theory
that the territory is Iraversed by the
Columbia Mountain fault plane
along which great bodies of ore have
been found in other properties to
the south. Manager Thomas F. Man
ming is seemingly well pleased with
onditions prevailing and is conf
dent as to the future of the prop
erty.
Following the completion of sta
ton at the 715-foot point and the
false setting of the shaft imme-
diately above and below it, made
necessary by bad or moving ground,
sinking was resumed about a week
ago at the 737-foot point, at which
body of lively looking quartz was
revealed several weeks ago. During
the last week the shaft penetrated the
body of quartz which proved to be
llCCH lCCt III tHlChhCoo, iyih6 nav
At a depth of approximately 752
feet the shaft has again revealed
the andesite formation, which has
been proven to overlay the latte in
the Orc section of the district. 1t
has always been the belief that the
Orc shaft, as have others along the
fault plane, would disclose several
bodies of quartz like that just pen
etrated; therefore, recent develop
ments at the property bear out the
accepted theory as to geological con-
ditions. There is little doubt that
discovery of Importance will be
made at an early date in the Orc
shaft; all prevailing conditions war
rant such prophecy.

ORE OF GOOD Value EXPOSED
IN TWO PLACES IN THE VELVET

drift into the Velvet claim on the
921-foot level.
The stope above the 921-foot level
in the Poleverde claim, very close to
the line of the Velvet claim. has as
sumed gigantic proportions, being at
least sixty feet in height on the dip
of the vein and more than 100 feet
in breadth. In no less than four
places six feet of highclass shipping
ore is being broken down. In what
is known as No. 410 E branch of the
big stope, the six feet of ore being
extracted is averaging around $S5 a
ton. This includes twenty-incb
streak that Monday yielded values of
$142.13 a ton.
To get under the orebody which is
being so extensively mined on the
921-foot level, a raise is being put
up from the end of the east cross
cut from the main south crosscut on
the 1017-foot level. This raise, To-
Gated about thirty feet from the Vel
vet line. is up fifteen feet and has
not yet revealed the objective ore
body, which fact, according to the
management of the Jumbo Extension.
proves that the shoot of ore dips into
the Velvet claim between the 921 and
the 1017-fOot levels of the Poleverde
claim AS whole, the Jumbo Ex-
tension mine is in excellent shape
and it's future at present seems more
promising than at any time in the
history of the Goldfield district.

ATLANTA STRIKE
IS SATISFACTORY
GENERAL MANAGER SIMPSON
MAKES STATEMENT OF
CONDITIONS

When pressed for a statement as
to the present conditions on the
1750-fOot level of the property OF
long crosscut from the shaft of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company, K.
M. Simpson, general manager of both
companies, this afternoon said:
"All that / care to say at the pres
ent time is that conditions in the
Atlanta are satisfactory, both in re-
spect to the progress made and the
values encountered. 1t should be
realized that we are in a geological
formation which requires careful
study and prudent development. The
development cannot, in the nature
of things, be at all haphazard; and
care at this time is of vastly greater
importance than speed.
1T should also be appreciated that
at this depth and under the condi-
mining is difficult and necessarily
slow. The development in the At
lanta is fraught with large import
ance not only to the Atlanta but to
the entire district, and we are JUS
tifiably hopeful of making an import
ant mine of the Atlanta and so clari-
flying the geology of the district as
to justify other important and ex-
tensive deep developments.
Il would like to make it very plain

quent bulletins concerning our mine
conditions. No mining operation of
the magnitude and Importance Of the
Atlanta should be or can be judged
from moment to moment or from day
to day. l am quite content to let
the future tell it's own story, and
when that story is told our attitude
with respect to publicity will be am
ply justified"

Merger Mines SELLS VELVET
Claim To JUMBO EXTENSION

c. o. Whittemore of Los Angeles,
president of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company, last Saturday Off
cially announced the successful con-
clusion Friday night of the negotia-
tions pending for several weeks be-
tweens his company and the Jumbo

Under the terms of the deal, the
consideration involved is III, 900 of
the 271, 900 unissued shares remain
ing in the treasury of the Jumbo
Extension company and $S5,000 in
cash The initial payment of $10,-
600 was paid to President White
more by Vice-President Charles S.
Sprague of the Jumbo Extension
company Friday night upon the sec
ond payment, amounting to $4,000,
will be made in sixty days and the
balance will be paid at the rate of
$4,000 a month. Upon the payment

That the Jumbo Extension Mining
company made no mistake in pur-
chasing from the Goldfield Merger
Mines company it's Velvet claim has
been amply demonstrated by discov-
cries made during the last day or two
in the exploration of the acquisition.
The developments are of character
that leave no doubt that the Velvet
claim will prove a great storehouse
of wealth.
Since the conclusion several days
ago of the negotiations incident to the
sale of the claim, the northeast drift
into the Velvet claim from the 921-
foot level of the Poleverde workings
of the Jumbo Extension has been ad-
vanced fifteen feet and there is en-
posed in the face four feet of ore.
which, according to grab samples
from mine cars, runs from $3.50 to
$7O.63 a ton The drift is now forty
five feet into the Velvet claim from

proper.
In the face OF a seven-foot easter
ly crosscut from the top of 50-foot
raise above an old drift on the 921-
foot level along the Velvet claim
boundary line. there has just been
exposed in the Velvet claim six feet
of ore that averages $3.50 ton.
This showing of ore is only few
feet over the line of the Velvet claim
from the Jumbo Extension territory
proper. On the dip of the vein, the
angle of which is about 80 degrees
to the southeast from horizontal, the
ore exposed in the crosscut is 104

in cash in installments and III 900
shares of stock, President c. o. Whit.
temore announced that the former
company will Immediately resume de-
velopment work upon an extensive
scale. This decision is due, in part.
to the strike made at depth in the
Atlanta territory, the Merger Mines
neighbor on the southwest. 1t is
the belief of President Whittemore,
in which he is supported by all local
mining men, that the northern extern
sion of the Atlanta orebody will be
revealed in the Merger Mines terri
tory with comparatively small
amount of work. In speaking of the
Merger Mines plan, Mr.. Whittemore
said:
1.-The next thirty or sixty ways will
be devoted to preliminary prospect
ing, with view to determining the
bearing of the OrebOdy revealed at
depth in the Atlanta as to it's con-
tinuity into the Merger ground. This
work will probably be in the shape
of a winze in the long Atlanta cross
cut within the boundaries of our

LATEST STRIKE IN THE Florence
PROVING OF GREAT MAGNITUDE

Exploratory work under the su-
pervision of Superintendent Harry
B. Clapp has resulted in the discios-
ure on three levels of the Florence
mine of the body of high grade ore
revealed first about three weeks ago
in a branch raise off the main raise
froH,Athe main north drift on the
800 BIT level to the 1OO-foot level,
at a. point about fifteen feet below
the latter. The strike, as at present
revealed, constitutes one OF the
best discoveries made in re-
cent years in the mine and
takes rank with the sensational
finds made in it in the early days
of the camp.
With only the footwall in sight,
there is exposed in the branch raise
nine feet of excellent ore. However,
Superintendent Clapp is breaking
only FIVE of the nine feet of ore in
sight. Assays from the five feet OF
Ibre being broken down, which IN
cludes the streak of picture ore,
varying in width from one to two
feet, have thus far returned values

taches to his statement and it, in
itself, is ample evidence that all is
well at the Atlanta.

STOCKHOLDERS PAYING
ASSESSMENT

According to Secretary-treasurer
Harry B. Ruhl, stockholders of the
Diamondfield Black Butte ReOrgan-
ized Mining company are evidencjng
their faith in the merits of the prop
erty by the manner in which they
are paying the recently levied initial
assessment of one-half a cent share
upon their holdings to provide funds
for development work. Stock upon
which the assessment remains un-
paid will become delinquent on April
10.
Andrew j. Canavan, at one time
superintendent of the GOldfield con-
solidated Mines company but more
recently identified with the North
Star and other mines of the TOnOpah
district, who was recently employed
by the Diamondfield Black Butte Re-
organized Mining company as super
intendent, has about completed his
task of sampling the various work
ings of the property with view to
determining the most advantageous
point at which to prosecute future
operations. He will make report

deliver to the Jumbo Extension a
deed to the Velvet claim.
In effect, the deal constitutes a
lease and bond for sixty days and
the Jumbo Extension is given the
right to enter upon and proceed with
the development of the Velvet claim.
Ore extracted from the Velvet claim
during the next sixty days becomes
the property of the Jumbo Extension.
Following the second payment
amounting to $4,000 on the pur-
chase price of the monthly payments
of $4,000 each will be paid from the
proceeds of the sale of ore from the
entire mine. Commenting upon the
transaction, President Whittemore
said:
THE deal is a good one for the
Meyer because it gives us funds to
carry on the development of our
property and besides, as the COM
pany becomes the owner of III, 900
shares of Jumbo Extension stock,
We will share with the other
stockholders in the profits of the op-
erations of the property. 1t is equal
ly as good, if not better deal, for
the Jumbo Extension, for the rea-
son that it adds valuable territory to
its property in direct line with it's
recent development. The stockhold-

MACHINE DRILLS
ARE NOW IN USE
OPERATIONS AT SILVER PICK
ASSUME A MODERN
ASPECT

Operations at the property of the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mining
company assumed a thoroughly up
to-date aspect today when Superin-
tendent Walter S. Norris retired the
hand steel, used since development
was begun in the early days, and
placed in commission on the bottom
or 50O-foot level two 2 " inch pis-
ton machine drills. With the new
equipment, exploratory work in the
pro lkrty will now be pushed with
all Y6ssible vigor.
Several weeks ago, Immediately
foil ling the placing by President
He. .nan Zadig of the order for the
two-stage compressor for the opera
tion of the drills, superintendent
Norris predicted that power opera
tions would replace hand drilling in
the property on April 1. His proph-
ecy has been more than fulfilled and
he feels confident that with the new
facilities at hand he will be able
to make highly gratifying disclos-
ures on the 50O-foot level of the
mine at an early date. The new
compressor is capable of operating
four machine drills but only two
will be used until more can be ad
vant@geously operated. In addition
to the compressor and two drills, the
new mechanical equipment at the
property includes 4O-hOrsepOwer
electric motor, which drives the COM
prcssor, and a stationary pump, with
a capacity of 12O gallons of water
a minute, that has been installed
on the 500-fOot level.
Exploratory work in the property
is being confined at present to the
huge quartz vein that has been re-
vealed by the shaft. A crosscut to
the west was started about ten days
ago The work has been attended
by an encouraging increase in values
in the quartz body. A crosscut to the
east was started last night.

of from $1S7 to $455 a ton. This
ore is coming from the footwall side
of the vein. Superintendent Clapp

of four feet into the ore on the hang
ingwall side without revealing coun-
try rock. The muck from the first
two feet OF the drill hole assayed

two feet ran $64 a ton. The exact
width of the ore ON the hanging wall

from that section of the vein is be-

The past week has been replete
with developments of great signifi-
canoe in the Goldfield district and
there is no gainsaying the fact that
the camp today faces future more
promising than at any time in it's
entire history. Indeed, new disclos-
ures at various properties, notably
results being attained in various
other mines and near-mines substan-
tiate the belief of mining men con-
versant with local conditions that
the greatest and most enduring fame
of the Goldfield district is yet to be
achieved by it, Not in five years or
since the boom days" has there pre-
vailed among local mining men and
residents generally such a buoyant
and optimistic feeling as holds forth
at present.
Atlanta Mines
The Atlanta continues to be the
bright particular star in the local
armament, in consequence of the
great strike made recently on the
1750-foot level in the long crosscut
from the st. Ives or main shaft of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company. In
his latest statement as to the strike,
General Manager X. M. Simpson
states that conditions in the Atlanta
are satisfactory, both in respect to
the progress being made in it's de-
velopment and the values encoun-
tered. He added that "the Develop
ment in the Atlanta is fraught with
large importance not only to the
Atlanta but to the entire district
and we are justifiably hopeful of
making an important mine of the
Atlanta and so clarity the geology
of the district as to justify other i'm
portant and extensive deep devel-
opments." Considering the ultra
conservatism of Manager Simpson,
