There never was song SO sweet
Some discord did not enter in;
There never was day so bright,

There never was a day so bright,
No shadow touched it anywhere;
There never was so still a night
No zephyr stirred the air
So much is true, but truer still

That good is born of all that's ill,
With both is greatness wrought

CONTROL WILL
LIKELY CHANGE
MERGER MINES MAY DIRECT
THE DESTINIES OF JUMBO
EXTENSION

Advices from New York, based
upon statement accredited to Har-
ry Schwaikert of that city, president
of the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany, bear out the local understand
ing that when the details of the re-
cent purchase by that company of
the Velvet claim of the Goldfield
Merger company are finally worked
out and the transaction becomes an
accomplished fact, it will be found
that the Merger has gained sub
stantial control of the Jumbo. The
ratification of the deal by the stock
holders of the two companies involv-
ed, which will likely not be perfect
ed under sixty days, will probably
mark the passing of not only the con-
troll but the management of the Jum-
bo Extension from the interests rep
resented by Charles S. Sprague of
Goldfield, which only recently ousted
E. s. Van Dyck and associates, to the
Merger Mines company, of which c.
O. Whittemore of Los Angeles is
president and K NJ Simpson is man.
ager.
of operations upon larger scale
than at any time previously attempt
ed, the management of the Jumbo
Extension company Thursday night
put on a night shift of about eight
miners, thereby increasing the work
ing force from nineteen to twenty
seven employees. The increase was
made for the purpose of cleaning
out numerous workings that have
remained idle for some time.
Underground conditions continue
satisfactory. In addition to the
usual quota of mill ore, averaging
five cars per week, sent to the mill
at Bonnie Clare, two carloads or
shipping ore have been despatched in
the last week, one last Saturday and
one Tuesday. to the Hazen sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany. This shipping grade of rock
is being b.,Aen down from a width
of three feet of ore in stope above
the 9OO-foot level within forty feet
of the line of the Velvet claim. Pre-
vious shipments of this ore have
yielded average values of $40 ton,
according to the management. The
ore sent to the Bonnie Clare mill is
being extracted from other workings
of the mine and is averaging around
$12 ton.

GREAT BEND MILL
IS NOW RUNNING
BEGINS TREATMENT OF LARGE
TONNAGE OF ORE ON
THE DUMPS

The work of installing a thirty
horsepower motor in the place of
the one of like size which burned out
last week in the trial tests having
been finished Sunday, the recently
completed five-stamp mill of the Dia-
mondfield Mining and Milling COM
pany in the Diamondfield section of
the Goldfield district was placed in
actual commission Monday. The new
company is operating adjoining
blocks of ground on the estates of
the Goldfield Great Bend Mining
company and the Goldfield Daisy
Mining company under five and two
year leases, respectively.
1t is estimated that the dumps on
the combined leaseholds include at
least 5000 tons of ore that average
from IS to SIS ton. The lessees
have begun the treatment of this ore
and will confine their milling opera
tions to it's reduction while develop
ment is carried forward in the un-
derground workings of the two
leases. At the present under
ground operations are being con-
fined to exploratory work on the 100
foot level of the old ToplitA shaft on
the Daisy estate According to Man
ager E. W. Thorns, the oreshoot on
this level has been proven with
raises for a length of 100 feet and
an average width of eleven feet, the
entire mass yielding assays Of from
$5 to SIS per ton. This orebodv ex-
toward the old Diadem shaf, and the
lessees will explore it to that direc-
ton.
1t is the intention to resume in the
near future work on the 100 and
15O-foot levels of the old incline
shaft on the Great Bend ground, on
both of which an orebody, from
three to four feet in width and
averaging around $12 ton, has been
opened up for length of about so
feet. The vein trends east and west
and dips to the south at an angle OF
20 degrees In winze from drift
run on the vein on the 4O0-foot level
of the Diadem shaft of the Great
Bend in the early days of the dis
trict, small amount of highgrade
ore was extracted before a great in
flow of water caused the abandon
ment of the operations there. 1t is
the purpose of the lessees to resume
work in that winze when operations
on the leases have progressed suffi-
GENTLY to permit.

COD. IS STILL
LOOKING GOOD
NEW ORE DISCOVERIES MAIN.
TANNING WIDTH AND
VALUES

There was continuance during
the week of the pleasing conditions
that have prevailed for some time
past in the workings of the Victor
claim of the estate of the c. o. ID.
Consolidated Mining company, which
property is being operated under a
lease by the Nevada Cooperative
Mining company. The sacking of
ore continues and it is likely that
a shipment will be made within the
next few weeks.
On the 230-foot or intermediate
level, the south drift continues to ex-
pose a streak of one and half feet
of shipping ore, some of which. car
ries a high percentage of copper. 1t
is from this working that some of
the ore now being sacked is being
extracted. Exploratory work i'm

vein IS EXPOSED
BY ORC SHAFT
INCREASED FLOW OF WATER
-. CAUSES DELAY IN ITS
EXPLORATION

Without question the most inn
portant development in the history
thus far of the property of the Gold
field Orc Mining company occurred
Tuesday when shots set off by the
graveyard shift of miners revealed
solid body of quartz of lively ap-
pearance and carrying large quanti-
ties of pyrites of iron in the bottom
of the shaft, which has attained a
depth of 735 feet Although no as
says have been made from the
quartz, much significance attaches to
the discovery and Manager Thomas
F. Manning is well pleased with the
development. especially in view of
the fact that it has been the theory
since the Inauguration of deep min
ing operations there that the Orc
property is traversed by the Col
umbia Mountain fault plane and that
vein would be disclosed at about
the present depth of the shaft.
simultaneously with the discovery
a greater volume of water was
struck, the flow increasing from 400
to coo gallons daily. This is in ad-
dition to the 10000 gallons that has
been handled for some time past by
the stationary pump in the sump on
the 515-foot level, into which all wa
ter drains from the workings above.
Fearful that further operations in
the shaft bottom might result in q
flow of water of overwhelming pro-
portions, Manager Manning has de-
ferred exploration of the newly dis
covered vein until the completion OF
station at the 715-foot point and
other work that will make it posi-
BILE to handle an unlimited volume OF
water.
To hasten the station work, Man
ager Manning has put two machine
drills into commission. The station
will be cut about eleven feet high
and wide, with a length of 2S feet
foot level. 1t is estimated that II
will require from two to three weeks
to complete this work and properly
timber. Upon the completion of this
work, shaft operations will be re-
sumed and at depth of TAO feet a
pump station will be cut. Fifteen
feet lower, or at a depth of 1856 feet
a sump cross-cut, fifty feet in length
will be cut off the shaft for the stor-
age of water AS the vein has been

OBTAINS BLUE
SKY LAW PERMIT
COMPANY GIVEN AUTHORITY TO
DO BUSINESS IN
OREGON

The Nancy Donaldson Mining COM
pany, the property of which is To-
Gated in the Red Mountain section of
the Goldfield district, northeast of
the town of Diamondfield, enjoys the
distinction of being the first Nevada
mining corporation to obtain a per-
init to do business in Oregon under
the newly enacted blue Sky" law
of that state. The company is, in
fact, one of the comparatively few
mining corporations of Oregon itself
and other states that enjoys such
privilege.
Oregon's Blue Sky" law was en-
acted by its Legislature last year. 1t
prohibits the sale of stock of mining
companies not having the approval
of the department of corporations of
the state government. AS the ma
jority of the outstanding stock of the
Nancy Donaldson company is held
in Oregon, President c. c. Tracy
early last December filed with the
commissioner of corporations of that
state an application for a permit to
do business within its confines a
representative of that official. an ex-
perienced mining engineer, quietly
visited Goldfield the early part of
this month and spent two days ex-
amining the Nancy Donaldson and
other properties. That he made a
favorable report is evidenced by the
a ha off to1 Of ho
company several days ago received
the desired permit from the Oregon
authorities.

BIG -FOUR HOLDS
ANNUAL ELECTION
l.. X. KOONTZ AGAIN CHOSEN TO
GUIDE THE COM
PANY

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Manhattan Big -Four
Mining company, which began Tues
day at the offices in Goldfield, came
to close Thursday with the eiec-
tion of Louis X. Koontz of Goldfield
as president; John H. Thatcher of
Pueblo, Colo, vice president; Chris
Wilson of Los Angeles, Cal, treas
urer; Harry B. Ruhl, secretary. The
above named men, with Miles G..
Saunders of Pueblo, Colo, were
elected as directors.
The major portion nj the two days
session was devoted to consideration
of the negotiations between the Off
cials and John Salsberry of San
Francisco, president of the CONNER
cial Mines and Milling company,
looking to a consolidation. A recess
of thirty days in the negotiations
was taken pending the investigation
of titles. No details as to the nego-
tiations were made public.

LARGER PUMP IS
BEING INSTALLED
MAKING GOOD HEADWAY WITH
WORK IN THE MERGER
SHAFT

The work of installing new and
larger pump in the main working or
ST. Ives shaft of the property of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company
made excellent headway during the
last week and is rapidly nearing con,-
pletion, according to Manager X. NJ.
Simpson.
The new pump has been made nee
essary by the increased how of wa.
ter encountered in driving the lons
cross-cut on the 1750-foot level OF
the property of the Atlanta Min s
company, which is connected with
the Merger workings, through which
the water gravitates to the st. Ives
shaft. During the installation OF the
new pump the reduced force is be-
ing employed by the Atlanta COM
pany but will be increased to the
usual number and operations in the
cross-cut prosecuted more vigorously
than ever when the present flow OF
water can be successfully and eco
nomically handled.

Salsberry of San Francisco, presi-
dent of the Commercial Mines and
Milling company, looking to the pur-
chase by the latter corporation of a
controlling interest in the former,

several months past, during which
he had been endeavOring to effect a
consolidation of practically all the

The station having been completed,
ing company property to jick up the
bottom or 500-foot level of the shaft
of the Silver Pick Consolidated Min
ing company prperty to pick up the
downward extension of the ten-foOt
streak of SO ore that was cut at a
depth of $50 feet. This streak is
but a small part of the great mass
of quartz that was first revealed at
the 396-foot point, the second wall
of which is yet to be found, notwith-
standing the fact that the shaft now
has a total depth of 500 feet.
Superintendent Walter Norris is
of the opinion that it will be neces-
sary to cross-cut only about forty
feet to reveal the streak of ore When
this is accomplished drifts will be
started.

Particularly in view of the fact
that the annual meeting of the stock

EIGHT FEET OF ORE AND ONLY
ONE WALL HAS BEEN
REVEALED

With the second wall yet to be dis
closed, eight feet of ore assaying
from s. to $15 ton and specimens
of it showing crystalliZed copper. has
been revealed during the last week
by the south cross-cut recently start
ed on the bottom or 400-foOt level
of the shaft on the Excelsior prop
erty of the New Jersey Mines COM
pany located in the extreme eastern
section of the Goldfeld district. The
s1ecks of crystallized copper, some
of them as large as a grain of wheat,
constitute the first discovery of the
red metal in that particular form
made in this district.
The find, which is the downward
extension of vein opened up on the
330-fooot level, was made about
week ago but Manager Harry Ernest
had no assays made from samples
until a day or two ago. AS soon as
the vein is completely intersected,
Manager Ernest will start drifting
operations east and west upon the
most favorable section of it. He
is well pleased with the develop
ment.

PROPERTY

1t is probable that operations wilr
be resumed in the near future upon
the property of the old Butte Gold
field Mining company in the Gold
Mountain district near Bonnie Clare,
which passed into the hands of l.. l..
Patrick of Goldfield, about two years
ago through a sheriff's sale for in
debtedness. In former years the
property has produced considerable
ore. 1t adjoins the property of the
Granite Mountain Mining and Mill
ing company.
Mr.. Patrick is at present working
up plan for the reorganization of
the company along lines that will af-
ford the old stockholders the
privilege of participating in the new
corporation. Mining Engineer j. K.
Turner will go TO the property next
Monday for the purpose of making
a thorough examination for Mr.. Pat
rick.
