CONTINUED from page one)
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company. 1t is a strong vein and of
good width and occurs in a wide
zone of silicifed and m~ineralized
latte. It's position is such as to give
the Atlanta a great length of vein
and good backs. Since the date of
the above quoted statement the main
cross-cut has been extended ten feet
and has exposed one foot more of
ore of the character described above
and nine feet of very low grade rock.
There are some spots and stringers
of copper in the face of the cross
cut at present. Drifts have been
started and run a short distance
both north and south and have
shown the values to extend along
the vein, although they are not as
good in the drifts at the present
stage of development as the values
exposed in the cross-cut. There has
rot yet been enough development
done to enable the management to
make further statement except that
the vein is most promising and we
are justifiably hopeful of making a
mine.
From these workings the COM
pany is at present pumping $50 gal
lons of water per minute, and this
item, together with the heavy ground
and the difficulty of securing efficient
ventilation, makes our operations
quite slow and expensive. However,
the water is steadily decreasing in
amount, and the other problems are
being gradually worked out so that
these adverse conditions should not
lrOve to be either so expensive or so
troublesome in the future as they
have been in the past.
I'm addition to the work above
described, the Atlanta has made ar
engagements with the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company to prospect
that part of the Atlanta claim which
adjoins the Florence. A cross-cut
has been run at a depth of 200 feet
from the Jumbo No. 2 workings of
the Consolidated into the Atlanta
claim along the Florence line. This
crOss-cut has quite recently u
through a vein eleven Feet wide. In
the center of the vein is a breccia
streak six inches wide which assays
$12 gold. This vein is evidently one
of the principal veins of the Florence
and the work of developing it by
drifts and raises has now begun"

WILL IMPROVE
MILLING PLANT
BULLFROG COMPANY PLANS TO
SPEND LARGE SUM ON
MILL

Upon his return to Goldfield yes
terday from a four days visit of in
spection to the property in the Bull
frog district of the Sunset Mining and
Development company, successor of
the old Tramps Consolidated Mining
company, E, S. Van Dyck, president
and general manager, announced that
the company will Immediately expend
approximately $4,000 in improving
and making additions to the reduc-
ton plant on the ground, which at
present consists of a ten-stamp mill
and a crusher, originally built by
lessees. Mr.. Van Dyck stated that he
was much pleased with conditions
prevailing in the Bullfrog district and
that numerous individual operators
and companies are meeting with
highly encouraging results.
General Manager Van Dyck was ac-
companied on his visit to the prop
erty by r. P. Atkins. mill expert OF
the Colorado Iron Works of Denver,
Colo, who has already begun the
preparations of the plans for the con-
struction of the additions to the mill,
which call for a complete cyanide
equipment, 5X1S foot tube mill,
Atkins classifier, Dorr thickener,
Pachuca agitating tanks and Portland
continuous filter. When the additions
are completed. the plant will be
capable of handling 20 ton of ore
daily. The work incident to the en-
largement of the plant was begun Fri
day and Manager Van Dyck expects
the mill to be placed in commission
by August L.
Speaking of the mine, Manager Van
Dyck stated that exploratory work
has been continuously prosecuted for
the last year, with the result that the
ore reserves have been increased at
the rate of approximately 5000 tons
Z month. He calculates that there is
at present in sight in the workings
sufficient ore to keep the mill run
ming steadily for at least two years.
The mine has been developed by tun-
nels and tributary workings to a ver-
teal depth of 700 feet, no less than
ten veins, varying in width from four
to one hundred feet, having been
opened up.

AMERICAN Mine Dividends FOR
FIRST QUARTER OF YEAR 1914

Based on dividend disbursements
of American mines and works made

achieved in no other industry.
Despite the fact that the strike in
the Lake copper region still affects

RECOVERY MINES
TO PUSH TUNNEL
PLAN Is TO EXPLORE BIG GOLD
LEDGE AT GREATER
DEPTH.

A. b. Cramer, general manager of
i..e Recovery Mines company, whose
properties are south of G%olconda,
New, has just received a report from
Superintendent T. l.. Parker, who is
in charge of the work now under
way there. Mr.. Parker, after a care
full examination of the situation, adj
vises pushing work on the north end
tunnel. which was planned and COM
menced some time ago to develop the
big gold vein at depth. The tunnel is
10 be run as a drift on the vein. The
vein. where explored by a shaft and
drifts higher up the hill, showed good
values almost from the surface. This
vein is about fifty feet wide on the
Recovery ground, but lower down
and across a gully where it has been
uncovered recently on an adjoining
property it is sixty feet wide and av-
erages values of So a ton in gold near
Tue surface.
This vein, because of it's large size,
the free milling qualities of h ore,
and the fact that it carries almost
everywhere good milling values,
looks like a good milling proposition.
One of the asets of the property is
a spring from which Mr.. Parker de-
clares there is now flowing water
enough for a twenty-ton mill.
Mr.. Parker says the camp, which
is twelve miles south of Golconda, is
picking up, and that everybody is
busy. At the Gertrude property, on
another vein a short distance south
of the Recovery, a shipment is being
gotten ready, and in it's preparation
all ore estimated at under $25 goes
over the dump. The last shipment
from the Gertrude, as shown by the
smelter. returns, ran 1922 ounce in
silver, SIS in gold and So per cent
lead. 1t had been, of course, close
ly sorted.
On the Edith claims, adjoining the
Recovery on the south, some very
nice gold ore is being taken out. In
a fissure vein on this property, 200
feet lower than the Recovery and
dipping toward it, was found a very
small seam of ore that went $4,000
to the ton.-Salt Lake Tribune.

DEPOSITS
At N0ME,ALASkA

The naming of Seward Peninsula
Alaska, in 1898, was a somewhNs
tardy recognition of the man who
had negotiated, amid jeers and ridi-
Guile, the purchase of the great ter
ritory from Russia years before.
Nevertheless, this small arm of Alas
ka has proved full worthy of the
name, and while bonanza mining in
the Nome region, which has produc.
co over 5 O,OOO,O 900 of gold, or seven
times what Secretary Seward paid
for the whole of Alaska, is now
mostly a matter of history; the re-
sion still contains large bodies OF
gold gravels many of which can be
profitably exploited. 1t is not I'M
likely, according to the United States
geological survey, hat in the future
more gold will be won from these
deposits than has been mined in the
past. Furthermore, though less
definite statement is possible con-
corning lode mining, it is declared
Ly the survey that the field is we'll
worthy of careful prospecting for
gold vein deposits.
The geological survey has just
published a bulletin (No. $3.50,
describing the geology of the Nome
and Grand Central region of Seward
peninsula, Alaska, by Fred H. Moi
fit. The investigation of the min
eral of Seward peninsula
by the survey was begun in 1899,
and geologic and topographic sur
veys have been made at various
times since. The present report
brings together all the information
at hand regarding the occurrence of
the auriferous gravels of the area.
Much of this information is stated
to be of scientific interest only, as
many of the rich placers have been
worked out. However, a knowledge
of their mode of occurrence will be
valuable, not only in this but in 9TH
CT regions, in helping to establish
the natural laws which determine the
distribution of gold in alluvium. AS
& record of one of the richest placer
camps of Alaska, the report will
lave permanent value; moreover, as
has been stated, there still remain
many large bodies of gold gravels as
yet unworked.
In the earlier days of the mining
of the rich sea-shore sands at Cape
Nome speculation was rife as to the
origin of the gold, even the theory
nat the gold came from the SCI e.
ing advanced. Old miners knew bet
couple of biologists of the survey
who were passing through and OBJ
serving the great city of tents
stretching along the goodrich beach
to recognize an ancient beach on the
higher level which was presumably
also rich in gold. A statement of this
observation was Immediately given
out by the geological survey, and
prospectOrs were also advised to in
ycstigate the beds of streams cutting
in to the coast which had originally
transferred the gold particles to the
beach sands. Subsequent develop
ment showed the old and prehistoric
beach as well as the stream beds to
be rich in gold, and several million
dollars worth were later taken out.
Bulletin 533 is we'll illustrated
with photographs and maps and a
copy may be obtained free on appli-
cation to the Director, United States
geological survey, Washington, D. c.

THE QuART11E vein
DIAMONDFIELD BLACK BUTTE
COMPANY RESUMES WORK
ON GROUND

Operations designed to solve the
fault problem connected with the
famous Quartzite vein, which in the
early days of the camp produced ap
proximately $500, 900 worth of ore,
have been inaugurated by the Dia-
mondield Black Butte Reorganized
Mining company upon it's property in
the Diamondfield section OF the Gold
field district. The funds for this
work have been raised by the levying
of an initial assessment of One-half
a cent a share on the capital stock
of the company. The time limit for
the payment of the assessment ex-
pired yesterday and Secretary
Treasurer Harry B. Ruhl is authority
for the statement that but little of
the stock went delinquent.
Under the guidance of Andrew j.
Caravan, at one time superintendent
company, work has been resumed at
three different points on the Dia-
mondfeld Black Butte property and
the management is confident thai
the present operations will result in
the disclosure Of the extensions of
the famous vein. All present work
is being prosecuted south of the
shaft. At a point about 200 feet
from the portal of the long SOO-foot
tunnel, a drift has been started east
on six feet of low grade ore. On the
100-fOOt level of the main shaft. a
cross-cut has been started in an
easterly direction from the main
south cross-cut. From the end of
the same south cross-cut, drifting is
in progress on a four-foOt vein from
which assays as high as $500 a ton
have been obtained.
In the Willard lease, which covers
a large area of ground to the north
and east of the main shaft, the drift
east on the 100-foot level is follow
ing along the line of the fault of the
vein. The drift is revealing ON
siderable quartz of good value and
Manager Guy Willard states that he
is at present more confident of the
success of his operations than at any
time in the past.

SUMMER FRUITS ARE RIPE; NOW'S THE TIME
TO "PUT UP PRESERVES"
BY CAROLINE COE.


Homemade jelly is one of the most
palatable articles of food made by
the housewife.
From all points of view the home
made product is superior to the jel-
lies bought in the store. 1t is usually
made under sanitary conditions and
better fruit is used, thus making the
use of preservation unnecessary.
Homemade jelly is very much less
expensive.
Currant jelly can be made for Z
cents a glass. This is about half the
price paid for the commercial prod
uct. Six quarts of currants will make
six pints of juice Six pints of sugar
equals six pounds) cost $1.15; num-
ber of glasses secured, seventeen.
Most jellies are made by combin-
ing the clear juice of fruits with an
equal amount of sugar. Some fruits
require a little more sugar. Over
ripe fruit will not make jelly. Better
use fruit little too green than too
ripe. The sweet fruits, also fruit over
ripe, lack pectose-the- substance

reason we combine strawberries,
raspberries and cherries with cur
rants. Cherries with green gooseber-
ries, sour apples with peaches or
peaches with damson plums.
All fruit should be washed and well
drained, then looked over to remove
any spots or bad fruit. Currants need
not be stemmed, but they must be
carefully washed, as they are often
coated with a preparation for de-
stroying the bugs on the bushes and
this is poisonous. Large fruit should
be washed and cut in small pieces.
Apples quartered, crabapples, ounces
and peaches cut in half, and put into
preserving kettle with just enough
water to cover them. Cover the kettle
and boil slowly until fruit is soft. Put
fruit and juice into double cheese

Heat in oven the same number of
pints of sugar as you have juice.
When juice has been boiled fifteen
minutes stir sugar in slowly. Boil
five minutes. Skim carefully and put
into glasses.
cRABAPPLE JELLY
Wash and cut in half Do not peel
or core them. Put in preserving ket-
tie with water not quite to top of
apple. Boil until very soft. Put all
into cheese cloth bag-drain. Add
an equal amount of sugar as juice
used. Boil twenty minutes from time
it begins to. boil Skim and put in
glasses.
cURRANT JELLY
Wash currants, remove all leaves,
put in kettle with only enough water
to half cover the fruit. Cover and
cook slowly until fruit is reduced to
pulp. Strain carefully. Use for each
pint of fruit juice one pint of sugar.
Put juice in preserving kettle. Allow
to boil fifteen minutes.
+ BLACKBERRY JELLY 49,.
Use berries a little under-ripe or
combine perfectly ripe berries with
one-third gooseberTies. Put in pre-
serving kettle and mash. Do not add
any water. Set preserving kettle in
dish pan of hot water and boil until
berries are cooked to pulp. Drain and
to each pint of juice use one pint of
hot sugar. Boil juice fifteen minutes.
Add hot sugar slowly. Stir and when
it begins to boil again boil five min
utes. Skim and put in glasses while
hot.
... SMALL FRUITS
All the small fruits are made into
jelly exactly the same way. If one
will use the double boiler system
no water is necessary. This does not
give quite as much juice, but the plan
is safer and the jelly firmer.
