MINING REVIEW

CONTINUED from page one,
the branch raise off the main raise
above the main north drift on the
15O-foot level, in the immediate vi
cinity of the shaft. The stope is now
above the main north drift on the
50-foot level.
Goldfeld Orc
Conditions prevailing at the prop
erty of the Goldield Orc Mining
company justify the prediction that
it will in the near future come to the
front with a discovery of Importance.
Since drifting north and south in the
big vein was inaugurated about ten
days g on the S10-foot level of the
S25-foot shaft, there has been a
steady improvement in the physical
appearance Of the property. In the
north drift, which is nov out about
twenty feet, the quartz is becoming
more solid and there has been an en-
couraging increase in the values OBJ
tanned from the face. The south
drift is out about twenty-five feet
from the station and its face is yield
ing small values.
Atlanta Mines
Operations on the 175O-foot level
of the property of the Atlanta Mines
company, through the st. Ives or
main shaft of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company, continue on a re-
duced scale, as a result of the recent
increase in the flow of water from
the big vein. Work is at present be-
ing confined to repairing the Merger
shaft and the long southwest cross
out from it into the Atlanta ground.
With the installation of large pump
ing facilities in the bottom of the
Merger shaft to handle the increas-
ed flow of water, the exploration of
the big Atlanta vein will be resumed
on a normal scale.
Yellow Tiger
Within a few days drifting will
again be under way on the big vein
on the 7OO-foot level of the property
of the Yellow Tiger Mining company,
operations upon which were recently
resumed after a shutdown of several
years. Manager Charles D.. Wilkin-
son states hat the work of cleaning
out the 345-foot crosscut to the vein,
which was found caved in several
places after the shaft below the 600
foot point was unwatered has prac-
tically been completed and will soon
permit of the resumption of drift
work.
Blue Bull
Manager Darcy has started a drift
north on the vein recently exposed
by the east crOsscut on the 7OO-foot
level of the Blue Bull property in the
hope of revealing the downward ex-
tension of the ore shoot opened up
on the 50O-foot level some time ago.
The vein shows a width of four feet
but carried no values at the point
intersected on the 7OO-foot level. No
change has occurred in the west
crosscut from the shaft on the same
level.
Booth
Good Roadway is being made in
cutting a station at a point 15 feet
above the main south drift on the
5O0-foot level of the Booth, pre-
liminary to the resumption of sinking
in the sixty-foot winze below that
level with a depth of 700 feet as the
objective point. The two raises above
the drift continue to expose low
grade quartz.
Silver Pick
There has been a notable improve
ment recently in the value of ore be-
ing extracted from the face of the
south drift from the east crosscut
along the hanging wall of the vein
on the 5OO-foot level of the Silver
Pick Consolidated. The drift is adj
vancing on a full face of excellent
ore, some of it's assaying as high as
$50 a tOn.
Other Properties
Routine developments held sway
during the last week at the Sand
storm-Kendall, Kewanas and Dia-
mondfield Black Butte.
