FLORENCE MINE
SHOWS UP GOOD
NEW FIND IN OLD WHEELER
LEASE WILL BE En-
PLORED

Although there have been no de-
velopments out of the ordinary dur
ing the last week, the Florence mine
continues to give splendid ac'
count of itself The initial ship
ments of ore this month were made
in the early part of the week, two
carloads or approximately one hum
dred tons being sent to the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company.
Preliminary to raising to connect
with the old winze below the 2SO-
foot level of the old Wheeler lease,
General Superintendent Harry b.
Clapp has started crOsscut west
from the main north drift on the
530-foot level to intercept the Wheel
er vein, which has never been opened
up on the latter level. 1t is calcu-
lated that the crOsscut should reveal
the vein in about twenty-five feet
of work. In cleaning out the winze
referred to to get line on the dip
of the vein, three and half feet of
excellent ore was found. On both
the foot and hanging walls of the
vein there is a foot and half of
ore that assays $6.40 and $500 a
ton, respectively, while six inches in
the center g'ves values of $3.50 per
ton.
In the big stope on the main Flor
ence vein north and south of the
main shaft on the 200-foot level,
work is being vigorously prosecuted
on ore left on both foot walls in the
early operations in the mine. Su-
perintendent Clapp states that on
each wall there is from three to
four feet of ore that assays around
$40 per ton. On the 350-foot level
of the old Engineers lease territory
a raise has connected with an under
hand stope below the 32S-foot level
and operations there will be stopped
in the next few days, the ore body
having been completely mined be-
tween the levels named.

BOOTH LEv|ES
CALL OF A CENT
PORT UPON CONDITION OF
PROPERTY

At a recent meeting of the board
of directors of the Reorganized
Booth Mining company of Goldfield,
a call (No. 4) of one cent per share
was levied upon the capital stock of
the company. 1t is payable imme-
diately, and stock upon which it re-
mains unpaid on October 5 will be-
come delinquent and be sold at pub
lie auction on November 9.
Notices of the levying of the call
contain a financial statement show
ing the disbursements of the COM
pany incident to the operation of
the property since the previous call,
to have been $19,73S.9S. The no
tices also include a report by Gen.
eral Manager A. I. Darcy upon the
physical condition of the property,
which follows:
Since April 1, 1914, operations
have been continued through shaft
No. 1 to the extent of 339 feet of
drifting, 134 feet of crosscutting, SO
feet of raising and 156 feet of winz-
ing.
On the 500 level the south drift
was advanced 1872 ~ feet on the vein,
and has exposed low values for the
entire distance.
The drift on the contact between
the Alaskite and dacite was also ad-
vanced 60 feet, but no values of con-
sequence were encountered.
In addition to the work mentioned
above as having been done on the
500 level, several crosscuts and rails
es were run without exposing any
thing of value.
On the 550-foot sub-level drifting
in the vein to the extent of 1870 "
feet was accomplished, also several
crosscuts and short raises were run.
The material taken from the %
foot raise on the 500-foot sub-level
on the basis of mine car samples
gave an average value of $3.50 pc,

RETURN FROM RENO

The Goldfield Consolidated mine
rescue team, composed of Captain
C. C. Cowan, D. w. Viles. Ed Walsh,
Joe Carmody, E. Shelves and D. J..
Harrington, who participated in the
state meet in Reno on Labor day,
returned here this morning, accom-
panied by Joseph B. Kendall. super
intendent of the Consolidated. The
local boys secured fourth place in
the mine rescue contests and tied
with the West End Consolidated OF
Tonopah for fourth place in the first
aid contest.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-09-12

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, by it's secretary and treas
urer, A. H. Howe, has just issued the
preliminary estimate of it's earnings
and production during the month OF
August. 1t shows that a total of 20
21O tons of ore We're mined and mill
ed, yielding a gr"~s extraction Oh
S297,5O0. Operating expenses
amounted to $16S, 900, leaving a net
realization of $129,500. There have
been on developments worthy OF spe-
cial note recently in the various
properties of the company, which
however, continue to give a splendid
account of themselves.
Jumbo Extension
Under a new policy just instituted,
the Jumbo Extension Mining com
pany is now sending less ore TO the
mill of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company and shipping more to
the smelters through the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company than formerly. The
shipments to the mill have been re-
duced from an average OF one nun
dred to forty-five tons day, making
it necessary to use only five instead
of ten stamps, as in the past, and two
carloads or approximately one hun
dred tons every three days are be-
ing sent to the smelters instead of
two or three carloads month. The
management is confident that the
new plan will result in greater
profits to the company
In explaining the new plan, Man
ager J.. X. Turner stated that as the
vein has been explored upward and
away from what is known as the
copper zone,' it has been found
the GRE has increased in gold con-
tent and decreased in the percentage
of copper to such degree as to make
the output, as a whole, difficult OF
treatment by cyanidation or to con-
centrate it to advantage. In conse-
uuence, the management is sending
to the mill all ore assaying up to $40
in gold, with one or more per cent of
copper, and shipping to the smelters
all that carries more than $40 in
gold, regardless of the copper con-
tent. 1t is maintained that the new
ARRANGEMENT will not cause and de-
crease in the monthly profits, even
though the output has been reduced
approximately fifteen tons daily. The
same results, in dollars and cents,
will be obtained through the mining
of the better grade ore instead of
breaking a greater width of lower
value; in other words, the reduction
in tonnage will be more than offset
by the higher value of the ore ex-
tracJed. In the future, all ore mined
and shipped to either the mill or
smelters will be classed as first grade
and the lower or second grade rock
will be permitted to remain in the
mine for future extraction.
Conditions in tn old Poleverda
workings of the mine, as we'll as
those in the Velver claim, which is
being acquired from the Goldfeld
Merger Mines company under lease
and bond arrangement, continue
highly satisfactory. In the Velvet
claim, two slopes are being extended

REVIEW 0F Mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD District

On the 200-foot level of the main
working shaft. operations are in full
swing in the old mammoth stope on
the main Florence vein. From both
the hanging and footwall of the vein,
from three to four feet of $40 ore is
being mined. This ore was left in
the early operation of the property.
when attention was given only to
higher grade rock. The raise from
the 250-fOot level of the old En-
gineers lease territory has made
connection with the underhand stope
below the 32S-foot level, yielding a
good tonnage of average grade ore,
and operations at that particular
point in the mine will be temporarily
stopped within the next few days.
Talmage Mines
The strike recently made in the
property of the Talmage Mines COM
pany on Vindicator mountain, in the
northeastern section of the district,
is proving up exceptionally well. Not
only is the rich ore shoot improving
foot level of the main shaft, in which
the find was made, but it's downward
continuity is beginning to make it's
appearance in the southwest drift
one hundred feet deeper. On the
250-fOot level, the drift has exposed
the shoot thus far for distance of
thirty-five feet and in the face there
is nearly three feet of ore that aver
ages considerably better than 500 a
ton, the assays ranging from $17 to
/ addition to about ten per cent cop
per- The face of the 350-foot level
drift is now revealing a three-inch
stringer of ore that assays from $50
to $50 a ton. There is every reason
to believe that the extension of this
drift will reveal as good an orebody
as that being explored on the $50
foot level.

G. 0. WhittemOre of Los Angeles.
vice president of the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company, will arrive in
camp within the next few days. A
meeting of the board of directors
will be held following his arrival, at
which time plans for the future oper-
alton of the property will be mapped
out. The new big pumps for the
lSOO-foot shaft on the property are
expected to arrive on the ground
early next month and it is probable
that operations not only in the Mer-
ger, but Atlanta territory will be re-
sumed about November 1.
