statement was made in refutation OF
the report previously current to the
effect that the company intended
ceasing it's operations and turning the
property over the lessees.
President Parker, after thor
ough inspection of the property, ex-
pressed himself as much pleased
with prevailing conditions. He point
ed out that commercial ores is eX-
posed in five places in the mine and
that the latest find of high grade
ore is eminently encouraging.
Jumbo Extension
During the last week there has
been a gratifying continuance of the
improved condition in the ore show
ing in the Jumbo Extension mine,
particularly on the 921-foot level in
the vicinity of the boundary line of
the Velvet claim Of the Merger Mines
estate. The big stope and it's tribu-
tary and nearby workings on the
level named have splendid show
ing and are handsomely maintaining
the mines output of a car of mill
ing ore daily and three carloads of
shipping ore weekly.

commercial value in the south drift

The work of cutting and timbering
the pump station off the main station
at the bottom of the 500-foot level
of the shaft of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated was completed Wednesday
and prosecuting to determine the
width of the huge quartz vein at that
depth will be under way within the
next few days. The lowering of a
new four-inch column of pipe was
also accomplished Wednesday and
Superintendent Walter s. Norris Is
now giving mis- attention to the in
stallation on the 5OO-foot level of
a new stationary pump, capable of
handling 12O gallons of water min
ute, to which the column will be at
tached. He estimates that this work
will be accomplished within the next
five days.
A 4O-horsepower electric motor,
which is to operate the two-stage
compressor, recently ordered and
capable of supplying air for four 1s :
inch piston machine drills, has ar
rived from San Francisco and been
delivered on the ground. 1t will be
placed in position in the hoist house
within the next day or two. The COM
pressor. according to Superintendent
Norris, should arrive at the property
within the next two or three weeks;
therefore. it is probable that machine
drills will supplant hand steel in the
property within the next thirty or
forty days.
The work of cutting the main and
pump stations at the 50O-foot level
has demonstrated that the shaft has
been passing through the big quartz
vein. first revealed at depth OF 396
feet, at the point at which it changes
it's dip from west to east. The entire
mass of quartz yields assays OF w

of SO ore. The defining OF the ex-
act width of the vein on the bottom

operations, will be followed by drift

SPLENDID SHAPE
DEEP WORKINGS SHOWING UP
GREAT BODIES OF
ORE

Increased operations in the Jumbo
Extension mine continue to main
tain its improved ore showing, es-
pecially on the 921-foot level in the
vicinity of the boundary line between
its Poleverde workings and the Velvet
claim of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company, negotiations for the pur-
chase of which are now pending. Ex-
ploratory work at present being Wig
orously prosecuted and the results
being attained justify the assertion
that the mine is in better physical
condition than at any time in it's his
tory.
There is a splendid SHOWING of ore
in the big stope, known as No. Az,
and tributary and nearby workings.
From the top of raise above the
stope to the 921 east drift, the shoot
of ore has been opened up for a
length, up and down the vein, of more
than 100 feet, while to the east and
for an equal distance. The width Of
the shoot in the area described war;
les from ten to fourteen feet and var
les in values from $40 to better than

during February, just made rubilc ny
A. H. Howe, secretarJ and treasurer,
is in itself an excellent commentary
upon the cor. 'itions prevailing i'll the
Goldfield district as a Whole. The
estimate, considered in connection
with announcements made by seNeral
companies and the results being gem
orally obtained in the extraction OF
ore and development work at various
points, augurs well for the future of
the camp.
Goldfield Consolidated
The Consolidated February pre-
liminary estimate shows that al"
though there was reduction IN the
number of tons handled by the mill
during the month-26,744 tons-as
compared with January, there was
notable increase IN the general aver
age value of the ore, the gross value
recovered amounting to $344 900, as
against $336,000, the total given III
the January preliminary estimate.
The net realization to the company
was $179, 900, as against $lo4,-
914.37, as shown by the final report
of General Manager A. Burch for
January Operating expenses during
February amounted to $165,OOO
while during January they totaled
$1SO,000.
Merger Mines Company
C. o. Whittemore of Los Angeles,
president of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company. during his recen'
visit to camp, set at rest all pessl-
mistic rumors as to it's future policy.
His visit here had to do with the
deal pending between his company
and the Jumbo Extension Mining
company involving the purchase by
the latter of it's Velvet claim. AS
there were certain of the details OF
the negotiations that had not been
worked out, the deal was not closed
but it is probable that it will be upon
the return of Mr.. Whittemore to
camp next week.
Speaking of the plans of the Mer-
ger company, President Whittemore
declared that conditions in the prop
erty are without single discourag-
ing element and that there is not the
slightest ground for anxiety on the
part of stockholders. He declared
that tho standing of the men behind
the project insures continuance "of
work to a degree that will leave no
doubt as to the possibility of the
property. President WhittemOro
made it known that the hackers OF
the venture are prepared to make
further expenditures for exploratory
work, saving that they are not in the
habit of spending a quarter of mil
lion dollars to sink a hole only to
abandon it without thorough lateral
development.
Florence GOldfield

company will not under any circum-
stances give leases on it's property.
Such was the announcement of Pres
ident A. d. Parker of Denver, Colo,
who spent several days in camp the
early part of this week, coming
thither to attend the annual meet
ing of the company, which adjourned
