Although I have spent but little
time in Goldfield during the last two
and half years, have at no time
entertained even the remotest idea
of giving up this camp as my head
quarters or permitting the local
properties in which l am interested
to remain idle indefinitely" said
engineer, who returned here a few
days ago after an absence of eigh-
teen months, during which he spent
considerable time conducting an ex-
tensive examination of a mammoth
placer property in Guatemala. While
away Mr.. Ferguson also visited Pan
anna and other Central American
countries. where he has interests,
as we'll as eleven countries of Eu-
rope. Continuing, Mr.. Ferguson
said:
"Goldfeld today looks as good to
me as it did in it's infancy. l have
always contended that great bodies
of medium and low-grade ores would
be revealed at great depth; the ope-
ations of the Goldfield Consolidated,
the Atlanta and other companies
during the last year and a half have
borne out my theory. I intend to
continue to make Goldfield my home
and conduct as far as possible all
my business from here. l expect to
remain in camp for a long period
and will resume operations on the
Pittsburg Nevada and other proper
ties in which I am interested this
fall or winter. My operations out
side of Goldfield will always be a
secondary consideration.
Immediately prior to my return
to Goldfield I made a visit of in.
spection to the Ohio property, fifty
four miles north of Winnemucca, in
Humboldt county, where my associ-
ates and l are doing some work.
While in that section of the state ]
also visited National and Buckskin
mountain and found conditions there
very pleasing.
Talks of the War
Speaking of the present European
war, Mr.. Ferguson said:
"The present war in Europe will
affect the raising of money for min
ing, not only for the development of
properties in the United States, but
throughout Central and South Amer
lea; even in the United States capt.
tai will not care to enter mining un-
til the war has been settled, one way

JUMBO EX. MINE
SHOWS UP WELL
VARIOUS WORKINGS MAINTAIN
ING USUAL OUTPUT OF
GOOD ORE

Although developments have
been of a routine character, there
has been a continuance of highly
pleasing conditions at the Jumbo Ex-
tension mine during the last week.
Operations in the old POleverda
claim and the Velvet ground, ac-
quired several months ago from the
Goldfeld Merger Mines company, are
giving splendid account of them
selves, and Manager J. X. Turner
is authority for the statement that
the ore reserves are steadily being
enlarged by the aggressive develop
ment work in progress.
In the Velvet claim, stopping up
ward and eastward continues above
the S50-foot level northeast drift on
from five to six feet of ore that as
says from SIS to SIS a ton. The
slopes are following the footwall.

not the vein, which lays very fiat.
mas hanging wall streak of ore at
that depth. The output or the slopes
Is being handled to the shaft by way
of a raise from the 921-foot level
east drift of the Velvet and the
workings on the same level in the
POleverda claim. Two raises. one
at the face and the other 100 feet
therefrom to the hanging wall of the
vein, have been started above the
921-foot level east drift in the Vel
vet. On account of it's fiatness, these
raises are much cheaper to extend
than crosscuts.
Excellent results continue to be
obtained in the northwest and south
drifts on the vein along the shale
footwall twenty feet below the floor
of the stope above the 97-foot raise

tions, which steadily continue to be
attended by the most pleasing re-
suits. The preliminary estimate of
the company's operations and earn
ings during July, recently made pub
lie by A. H. Howe, secretary and
treasurer shows that despite the fact
that smaller tonnage was handled
by the mill, the output last month
was of higher average va;ue than
during the previous month. A total
of 24,573 tons were milled during
July, yielding a net realization OF
$159,00O, as against 25,955 and net
profits of $147,10O.69 during the
month of June.

REPAIR WORK BEING
DONE ON THE ORC
SWELLING GROUND MAKES 1T
NECESSARY TO LEVEL
DRIFT FLOOR

Operations during the last week
at the property of the Goldfield Orc
Mining company have been largely
confined to repair work. In the
north drift on the S10-foot level of
the S25-foot shaft swelling ground
has made it necessary to take up the
track and level the floor and replace
broken timbers.
Crosscutting west from the north
drift on the same level, about 100
feet from the shaft, continues, and
highly encouraging conditions are
being revealed. Work in the east
crosscut from face of the south drift
on the vein on the 810-foot level has
been temporarily stopped. On the
7O0-foot level, crosscutting west
from the shaft to reveal the hang
ing wall Of the vein has also been
temporarily stopped. but drifting
south from the shaft continues.

YELLOW TIGER TO
HAVE MACHINES
ATOMS HAVE PRACTICALLY
BEEN SUSPENDED

Pending the installation of an air
compressor and machine drills, Man
ager Charles ID. Wilkinson has prac-
tically suspended operations at the
property of the Yellow Tiger Mining
company. With the exception of one
engineer who is keeping the shaft
clear of water above the 700-foot
level, the entire crew of workmen
was laid off several days ago. Man
ager Wilkinson calculates that the
compressor and drills will be deliver
ed and in operation on the ground
within the next thirty days.
Speaking of the suspension of op-
erations, Manager Wilkinson said ::

FLORENCE KEEPS
UP PRODUCTION
STOPE in ENGINEERS LEASE
GROUND YIELDING GOOD
TONNAGE

The Florence mine shipped during
the last week to the Millers sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany four carloads or approximately
200 tons of ore, bringing the total
production thus far this month up
to seven carloads or about $50 tons.
General Superintendent Harry B.
Clapp is we'll pleased with conditions
prevailing in the property and there
is every reason to believe that the
output this month will exceed that of
July, which amounted to about 600
tons.
From the branch raise off the main
raise above the main north drift, in
the immediate vicinity of the shaft,
stopping south continues on the ore
body opened up several months ago
and stopped above the north drift on
the 5O-foot level and to the north
ward about $50 feet at that depth.
In the stope to the north the ore
body yielded a large tonnage of ex-
cellent ore. To the south of the raise
above the 150-foOt level north drift,
the same orebody is giving an excel
len account of itself, yielding from
five to six feet of rock of good grade,
some of which carries high grade val
lower valued ore. Superintendent
Clapp has started raise in the south
drift on the same level, near the
shaft, to reveal the orebody at that
point.
Stopping continues above drift in
the old Gem lease territory on the
200-foot level on a small streak Of
ore averaging around $12 ton,
which was exposed some time ago by
raise from the 250-foot level of the
Baby Florence lease ground. On &C
count of a delay in the arrival of tim
ber, work has been temporarily sus-
pended in the big stope on the main
Florence vein north and south Of -
shaft above the 250-foot leevl. In
the early operations in the property,
only the higher grade ore was ex-
tracted from the vein at this point,
with the result that large tonnage
of $40 ore was left on both walls.
An underhand stOpe in an old drift
on the 32S-foot level of the Engi-
neers' lease ground, work in which
was started about three weeks ago,
is proving an agreeable surprise. 1t
was first thought that the stope
would produce only comparatively
small tonnage of ore but at the pres
ent time it is showing up better than
at any time since work was begun,
yielding an average of twenty inches
of ore that assays around $40 per
ton, in addition to about four ounces
silver and from one to four per cent
copper A raise has been started from
the 250-fOOt level to catch the down
ward extension of the orebody. The
north drift on the 4O0-foot level of
the main shaft was connected with
the fourth level OF the old Wheeler
lease few days ago and operations
in that particular section of the prop
erty are at present being confined to
the drawing of GILL; which is aver
aging between SO and SIS ton,
from an old stope.

ing wall streak of ore in the vein.
Two raises for the same purpose, one
at the face of the east drift on the
921-foot level and the other about
one hundred feet to the westward in
the same drift, are now under way.
On account of it's fiatness on the two
levels, raises have been decided upon
as the quickest and most economical
means of intersecting the vein. While
raising is in progress, work in the
face of the 921-foOt level east drift
has been suspended.
In the Poleverda claim, the north
west and south drif.s along the shale
foOtwall of the vein, twenty feet be-
low the floor of the new stope above
the 97-foot raise above the east cross
cut off main southeast crosscut on the
1017-foot level, continue to yield
highly pleasing returns. A few days
ago the northwest drift was con-
nected by short raise with the old
south workings of the claim on the
921-foot level and stope started
near the connection on three feet of
ore that assays from $40 to $50 per
ton. A full face of mill ore is being
revealed by the south drift. To in
tercept the downward extension of the
orebOdy, work has been resumed in
the face of the east crOsscut from the
main southeast crOsscut on the 1917
foot level. By the extension of a
north crosscut not more than ten
feet from the old Merger workings
in the Velvet claim, five to six feet
of SO to SIS ore has been exposed.
The showing, which is unquestion-
ably the upward extension of the
main Orebody, gives promise of de-
velOping into one of the most i'm
portant finds made in the property
for several months.
FlOrence-GOldfield
1t is safe to predict that the July
output of approximately 600 tons by
the Florence mine will be equalled, if
not surpassed, by the property this
month. Thus far this month it has
despatched to the Millers sampler of

pany seven carloads or approximate

Denmark, Sept. 19.-The Denmark
warehouse will be ready for storing
cotton next Monday. While it vii.
not be completed by that time, it will
be in conditic1 to receive some cot
ton. When completed it will hold
1000 bales. 1t is probable that the
company will have to put up an ad-
ditional house. Stock has been taken
by farmers and business men gener-
ally. w. l.. Riley is president; R. l..
Zeigler, manager and treasurer, and
H. C. Crum, secretary. Through H.
]. Faust, chairman of the street COM
mittee, the town council has pur-
chased one bale of cotton at 10 cents
per pound, and has it on exhibition
in A. P. Guess barber shop. The
bale was bought from H. c. Fields.
Two gins are at work ginning cot
ton, but very little, indeed, has been
sold. Farmers are carrying it back
to their homes. Both banks have
proposed to the farmers to take cot
ton receipts as security and wait for
a market and better prices.

makes any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restor-
ing health to the kidneys, proved to
be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
A good kidney medicine, possess
ing real healing and curative value,

they are authorizing all of their
Southern agencies to buy bale for
the company, and in addition, are
purchasing at Lynchburg bales for
the company and for the individuals
connected with the company.
This will mean that the sale of
many bales throughout the South, as
this is one of the largest shoe COM

land devoted to the staple. He esti-
mates that this crop costs $500 per
acre for cultivation, and at this time
the products realized are not worth
more than $1,000 to the acre at the
outside, leaving a net profit Of not
more than $500, or about one half
the amount realized from the grain
crops.
The experience of Mr.. Carroll will
be of especial value to farmers of
Cherokee county at this time if they
will only heed his advice, which is
to reduce the acreage given cotton
and increase the grain crops. The
outlook now is that grains will be
more valuable next year than ever
before" says Mr.. Carroll, while cot
ton may remain at a low price for
some time to come. 1t will be un-
reasonable for farmers to continue
planting all of their land in cotton,
and l would advise them to raise a
large crop of grain. Oats planted in
the fall of the year are much harder
and have a better growth than when
planted in the spring. Another ad-
vantage of fall planted oats is that
they mature fully month earlier
than spring oats, allowing two crops
to be made on the same land. l shall
continue to follow the grain plan of
farming"
The next years crop of oats is now
being planted on Mr. CAROLS land.
