THINKS WELL OF
FUTURE OF CAMP
HERMAN ZADIG INSPECTS WORK.
INGS ON THE SANDSTONE
KENDALL

Arriving in Goldfield from Tono-
pah by automobile Monday after
noon, Herman Zadig of San Fran
cisco, president of the Silver Pick
Mines company, returned to the sill
yer camp this afternoon after max
ing an inspection of the property of
the Sandstorm-Kendall Mining COM
pany and familiarizing himself with
present conditions throughout the
district. Speaking of the Silver Pick,
Mr.. Zadig said:
THE recently levied assessment of
one cent a share will make available
the sum of $4,000, with which to
continue the present development
work. At present our monthly ex-
penses are approximately $4,000;
therefore, the funds derived from the
assessment will be adequate to keep
operations in progress for six months.
In the meantime, we are hopeful that
We will open up commercial ore in
sufficient quantity to preclude the
necessity of further assessments.
While there has been no change in
the general average of values obtain
ed, there has been an improvement in
the geological conditions on the 500
foot level, on which we are contining
our operations at present, and l be-
lieve that our efforts to make a mine
of the property will be we'll reward
ed.
I'VE are drifting both north and
south along the footwall of the vein,
which was revealed seventy feet
west of the shaft The north drift
is now about 155 feet in length and
the face of the south drift, which
was recently started, is about so feet
from the crosscut. Drifting south
continues along the hanging wall of
the vein, which was disclosed 63 feet
east of the shaft. Work continues
in the east crosscut, the objective
point being the downward extension
of the vein exposed some time ago on
the 260-foot level. This vein on the
upper level gave assays of $40 a ton
for a width of six feet. We calcu-
late that 1t will be necessary to
the vein on the 500-foot level.
Speaking of conditions prevailing
in the district generally, Mr.. Zadig
said:
There is more activity in the dis
trict at present than for several
years past and l consider that the
future of the camp is promising in
the extreme. The recent resumption
of operations by the Yellow Tiger
Mining company on it's property, al
ter a suspension of about five years,
furnishes ample evidence of what the
officials of that company think of the
future of the district.
II consider that future disclosures
on the 175O-foot level of the Atlanta
will cause the original discovery on
that level, made several months ago,
to fade into insignificance. While the
showing at present being developed
is one of importance, | don't think
it is the main orebody Of the prop
erty. / believe that much better ore
bodies will be revealed by the pres
ent development work
1.-The management of the Sand
storm-Kendall afforded me the
privilege of inspecting the workings
of that property today and am
much impressed with the showing
there. The new strike looks very
favorable. However, more work
will be required before a definite idea
of the significance of the discovery
can be gained.
Referring to conditions at the
North Star mine in Tonopah, OF
which he is president, Mr.. Zadig
said:
"The east crOsscut on the 1000
foot level has just completely pene-
trated the Mizpah fault and exposed
five feet of ore that yields values
of from $25 to $50 ton. We are
prosecuting for the same vein on the
113O-foot level and expect to reach
it within the next few weeks.
