Some interesting facts regarding
the property of the Buckhorn Mines
company, situated in Eureka county
and which is controlled by George
Wingfield, are incorporated in an in
terview with Fred J. SieDert, con-
sulting engineer TOT the company,
which has just been published in the
Reno Gazette.
Mr.. Siebert has been identified
with the property from the time he
first examined and reported upon it
for Mr.. Wingfield. He outlined the
plan of development and, together
with j. w. Hutchinson, assistant
manager of the Goldfield Consoli-
dated properties and superintendent
of the latter company's mill, prepared
the plans of the 400-ton reduction
plant, which is now in operation.
The property OF the Buckhorn
Mines company is situated % miles
south of Beowawe and about 8 miles
west of the Eureka and Palisade
railroad. Beowawe is a station on
the Southern Pacific and near the
Western Pacific and at this point the
company's electric power plant has
been installed. Mr.. Siebert. who acts
as consulting engineer for the Wing

BY far the most notable discovery
in recent years in the property of the
Florence Goldfield Mining company
has been made in a long incline raise
above the 350-foot level about $50
feet north of the main shaft, where
seam of picture rock, varying in
width of from eight to eighteen inches
in large body of quartz, has been
revealed in the last few days. I'm
usual significance attaches to the
find in view of the fact that it
was made in virgin territory and
gives promise of winning new lau-
rels for the famous property.

DEVELOPING THE
COMB. FRACTION
GROUND is BEING OPENED W
UNDER LEASE TO THE
CONS<YJDA.TD

Active development work is being
conducted on the Combination Frac-
tion property by the Goldfield Consol-
idated Mines company, which has a
lease on the northern portion of the
property. This ground adjoins, on
the south, the Mohawk No. 2 claim of
the Consolidated and is being worked
through the old drifts of the Mohawk,
which are being driven toward sec
tion of the property that has produced
good ore in the past on other levels.
The terms of the lease under
which the Consolidated is working
this ground provide that the Con-
solidated shall pay all expenses OF
mining, transporting and milling the
product of the ground, under the fol-
lowing royalty basis: 25 per cent on
all ores extracted that are valued
at SIS per ton or under: 35 per cent
on all ores worth SIS to $50 per
ton, and so per cent on all ores run
ming $25 per ton or over. Rich ore
has been mined in the Mohawk up
to the boundery of the Fraction and
the latter has produced quantities of
shipping and milling ore.

PLANS FOR WORK
ON THE KEWANAS
INSIDE PROPERTY ADJOINING
CONSOLIDATED Regarded
AS OF PROMISE

The reorganization of the Goldfield
Kewanas, on the assessable stock
basis, is now being carried out and
will result in the early beginning OF
development work in the property of
that company, adjoining on the east
the Laguna group of the Goldfield
Consolidated. The Kewanas is said
to have an independent vein system
and some low grade ore has been ex-
posed in the course of early work.
It's principal hope, however. is in
opening the extension of the Laguna
ore deposits on their dip and at con-
siderable depth.
A circular letter is to be sent to
all stockholders of the Kewanas at
once by A. H. Howe, the secretary
and treasurer, announcing the plans
for reorganization and inviting the
exchange of stock in the old com
pany for that of the new, upon pay
ment of one and one-half cents per
share. In view of the favorable
situation of the property and the re-
cent substantial advance in the mar
ket price of the stock it appears
likely that there will be a generous
response to this proposal and that
the company will be we'll supplied
with funds to undertake its new de-
velopment work.

SILVER PICK HAS
GIGANTIC LEDGE
DEVELOPMENT Is NEARING
POINT WHERE IMPORTANT
RESULTS ARE EXPECTED

The big pump of the Silver Pick
Consolidated, which has been raising
from 10000 to $4,000 gallons of wa
ter daily in the progress of sinking.
is now being thoroughly overhauled
and when reinstalled will be in con-
dition to handle all the water that
may be encountered The work is
now being centered, with three shifts
of miners, on the cutting of large
sump below the 4S5-foot point,
where a station will be cut and at
which depth extensive lateral de-
velopment is to be conducted.
This will involve the driving of
fork or cross-cut from the main
shaft, in order to provide. ample ca
pacity for the water that may ac-
cumulate in exploring the big vein.
The shaft has been in this vein for
over so feet and the foot-wall has
not yet been exposed. The vein mat
ter is highly silicified and yields
average assays all the way varying
from 50 to $40 per ton. This vein
has a trend east of north and dips to
the southeast 1t has never yet been
explored at any point where it is in
tersected by any of the several strong
cross fissures that traverse the Silver
Pick territory and the management
believes that large deposits of pay
ore will be found on this level.

present time the property is in a
better condition than it has been at
any time for more than two years.
Mr.. Clapp states that work already
done has proved the find for dis
tance of fifty feet in one direction
and forty feet in another. The new
rich seam of ore trends northwest
and southeast and stands almost ver-
tical. The fact that the find is in
virgin ground is prticularly pleasing
to Supt. Clapp, who stated that
the average grade of ore now being
shipped from the property runs from
$40 to $50. Supt. Clapp further
states that he has not had any as
says made of ore from the new find
for the reason that he considered it

The exceedingly rich material, con-
sisting of the characteristic boulders
and nodules of quartz in kaolin or
tale matriX and containing Quanti-
ties of rusty free gold, varies in
width from eight to eighteen inches
and on both sides of this seam the
ore, for two feet in width, assays
around $500 per ton. This ore is
exposed for a considerable distance,
the raise now being 7S feet above
opened above, winze from the $50
foot level having exposed three feet
of solid ore assaying 500 per ton.
The ore has not been followed above
this level and no other WORK mas
been done in the immediate neigh
borhcod. Superintendent Clapp re-
CARDS the discovery as one of the ut
most importance and this view has
been reflected by the sudden and
spectacular advance in the price of
the stock of the Florence company,
advancing within a few days from
80 cents to sales at 80 cents. The
Florence has been shipping it's mill
ing ore, averaging from SIS to $50
per ton, at the rate of so tons daily.

ORO SHAFT HAS
EXPOSED A vein
FORMATION Is BROKEN AND HAS
APPEARANCE OF CARRY
ING METALS

Great interest attaches to the la
test developments on the property
of the Goldfield Orc company, where
the shaft has penetrated broken vein
material having all the characters
tics of the ore-bearing ledges of this
part of the district. The shaft is
now nearly $50 feet deep and is at
about the point where 1t has been
expected that the hanging wall of
the vein exposed on the 350-foot level
would be penetrated. 1t is appar-
ent from the broken character of the
formation at this depth that the
Orc shaft is nearing the ground af-
fected by the big Columbia Mountain
fault and it has from the first been
the belief of the management that
rich orebodies will be found when
this fault is reached.
A station has been cut below the
55O-foot level and sinking has been
making better progress since that
work was completed. The compa-
ny's hoisting plant is operating in
excellent shape and the pumps have
no difficulty in handling the water
that comes into the shaft. The quartz
showing in the vein lately exposed
is of good appearance and the vein
contains a red material that resem-
bles red oxide of iron, together with
a considerable quantity of tale.

Low Cost of Operation
''Mr. Wingfield and associates pur-
chased the property on September 5,
1909, for $4,000 and subsequently
Mr.. Wingfield bought extensions,
bringing the total price for the hold
ing of IA claims and several frac-
tions up to $4,000. The deal was
completed on April 1. 1910, without
waiting for the time of the option
to be concluded. Since then 10000
feet of development work was done,
exposing an enormous tonnage of
low-grade ore.

NEW EQUIPMENT ON THE
SANDSTORM-KEND CON.

The big pump, with capacity of
100000 gallons daily, is now work
ing on the 50O-foot level of the
Sandstorm-Kendall Consolidated and
has already proved its value in do
ing away with the possibility OF in
terruptions that may be costly when
the power is shut off. The COM
pressor, of sufficient size to operate
all the machine drills that may be
employed in the mine, has arrived
and will be in operation shortly. The
ore continues to hold up well in both
the north and south drifts on the
500-fOOt level.

BONANZA BODY OF "PlCTURE ORE"
WHILE EXPL LORING VIRGIN GROUND

material resembles the exceedingly
rich ore that was found in the En-
gineers' and Little-Florence leases
and is apparently worth two or three
dollars a pound, showing quantities
of the rusty free gold that marked
the ore in the earlier rich discover
les in nearby ground.
For two feet on either side of the
exceedingly rich seam, which varies
from eight to eighteen inches in
width, the ore is said to average
around 5000 per ton. No work has
been done in this ground above that
now in progress and a large area of
virgin ground is available for ex-
ploration here with good promise of
continuous stopping backs for two or
three hundred feet.

MORE AIR FOR MERGER

larger ventilating plant is now
being installed on the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines property to supply air to
the workings of the Merger and At
lanta companies. The work has pro-
gressed to such great distance from
the air supply and the temperature
is so high on the 1750-foot level that
this new installation was found nee
essary to insure favorable working
conditions for the miners.

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

at this depth the continuation of the
great vein from which a large pro-
duction has been made on the adjoin-
ing Grizzly Bear mine of the Gold
field Consolidated. This cross-cut
has been driven from the main or
st. Ives shaft of the Merger Mines
company and about 140 feet from
the boundary line, in Atlanta ground,
it penetrated the contact of the shale
and latte. The latter formation
shows the presence of some copper
and is highly silicified. Some water
has been coming in the face of the
cross-cut and everything points to
the possibility of finding pay ore at
any time.
Goldfield Merger Mines
The extent to which the work has
progressed in the property of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company has
necessitated the use of better VEN
tilating facilities, in order to supply
air in the deep workings that have
now been driven into Atlanta ground
on the 1750-foOt level At this depth
the water reaches a high tempera-
ture and in order to insure favorable
is necessary to furnish an ample sup
ply of fresh air A powerful blower
is being installed and while this work
is being done the mine timbers at all
points are being adjusted and put in
the best of shape. Operations in the
Merger ground, as well as in the At
lanta, are under the direction of K
NJ Simpson, who also has charge of
the Blue Bull, SandstOrm and other
properties controlled by George
Wingfield and associates.
The Combination Fraction
The Consolidated company is now
conducting development work in the
ground of the Combination Fraction
company, extending. for this pur-
pose, the old drifts at the south end
of the Mohawk mine, which it ad-
joins. The terms under which this
lease is being operated are highly
favorable to the Combination Frac-
tion company, particularly in view
of the fact that the latter had no
money in it's treasury and was un-
able to undertake the development of
it's own ground The lease contract
provides that the Consolidated COM
pany shall pay all expenses of min
ing, transporting and milling the ore
extracted and that this extraction
shall be on a royalty basis of 25 per
cent on ore valued at less than SIS
per tom 35 per cent on ore worth
from SIS to $25 per ton and so per
cent on ore that runs $25 per ton
or ever. The Fraction ground has
yielded quantities of rich ore in the
past and it will be explored on other
levels than those that have already
proved productive.
Jumbo Extension Mine
Encouraging reports continue to
come from the Jumbo Extension
mine and shipments of high-grade
ore seem to be assured for some time
to come. The mine is said to be in
better condition than for long time
past and the average grade of the
mill ore sent to the leased mill at
Bonnie Clare has shown a decided

being treated in the 100-stamp mill
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company and this product is being
produced at the Mohawk, Combina-
ton, Laguna, Clermont and Grizzly
Bear mines. Ore from the deepest
levels, particularly from the Grizzly
Bear workings, mined on levels
down to the 1400-foot point. is ship
ped to the sampler of the Western
Ore Purchasing company at Millers
as it's high copper and silver con-
tent renders it unsuited for treat
ment with the best results in the
company's mill.
Florence GOldfield Mine
The most important discovery that
has marked the progress of mine de-
velopment in the Goldfield district
in many months has been made this
week on the property of the Flo
renee Goldfeld Mining company.
About $50 feet north of the shaft,
in virgin territory, raise has been
driven from the 35S-foot level, fol-
lowing the incline of the vein, and
this raise lately exposed body of
ore that is similar in character to
the picture" ore that made this
property famous and made fortunes
for the operators Of the Engineers

leases on the Florence.

COMPLETE REPORT
 READY TOMORROW
BAR AssoGfATioN suecoMiT' TEE WILL REPORT TO THE BAR
 ASSOCIATION THURSDAY.
Then Thursday Night the Commission Form of Government Report WIT Be Taken Up By Young Mems Cham Der of Commerce.

The subcommittee from the local bar association to draft a bil, provid- ing for comision form of gayern- ment for Hot Springs will make It's report to the bar association Thurs day morning at 10 o'clock in the chancery court room, said Judge A. Curl of the committee, who yesterday authorized the Sentile-Record to call this meeting of the bar association to consider the report.
 After the report is submitted to the bar association it will be ready to be taken up by the Young Mems Chamber of Commerce at their meeting Thurs day evening at which time the meas ure will be up for general discussion, and there will no doubt be a large crowd present to be advised on the de- tail of proposed change of municipal eoverament for Hot Springs.
 It is reported that the bid as it will come from the bar association will be in the main part the legislative bill arranged for Fort Smith before the last legislature, but that some changes lin the general plan will be reccom- mened to meet the conditions that exist in Hot Springs.
 The Young Mems Chamber Of Com merce will also give attention Thurs day night to the matter of the freight committee report, and take final &C., tion in the matter of authorizing the attorneys to proceed before the Inter state Commerce Commission in the matter of securing reduced freight rates for Hot Springs.
 There will also come up before the organization the matter of whether the title "Youngs Mems" shall be con. tinued before the name Chamber of Commerce, and on this point there will probably be some interesting dis. cussion. for there are some loyal to the original name, while others be
 ieve that the full field of the organ
 zation can be best covered by eim-
 mating the young man feature and making it the Chamber of Commerce of Hot Springs. which is suggestive. probably, of more stability in the ont side business arrangements the organ. ization may take up later.
