REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

From a mining standpoint. the
most noteworthy recent event in the
Goldfield district was the compile
tion Thursday of the Velvet claim
deal, the Jumbo Extension Mining
company paying over to the Gold
field Merger Mines company the bal
ance of $4,000 due on the purchase
price six months in advance of the
date named in the lease and bond
for the final monthly installment OF
$1,000. Particular significance at
taches to the transaction. since 1t
refutes vague rumors, evidently put
in circulation by outside brokers
short on the stock of the purchas-
ing company. to the effect that the
monthly payments had not been
made on time and that the Merger
company was contemplating the in
stitution of court proceedings to re-
strain the Jumbo Extension COM
pany from the further operation of
the newly acquired territory, which
is rapidly developing into veritable
storehouse of wealth. While such
rumors were only whispered about
and were discredited generally, they
nevertheless had a depressing effect
upon the stock, causing 1T to decline
on the exchanges of San Francisco
and New York from around forty
five to thirty-five cents. The COM
pletion of the deal by which title to
the claim passed was Immediately
followed by heavy buying Of Jumbo
Extension and a resultant increase
in it's selling price.
The ability of the management OF
the Jumbo Extension company to
take up in one transaction all the
remaining installments due on the
claim six months in advance of the
date fixed for final liquidation Is not
in the least surprising when 1T is
known that General Manager j. X.
Turner estimates that the gross val
ue of the output of the mine this
month = largely the yield OF the
Velvet claim = will total $4,000.
This estimate was based upon the
gross value of the ore extracted up
to last Monday, which was figured
at $4,000. 1t is only reasonable to
assume that the value of the yield
for the remainder of October Will
reach $4,000, making a total for
the month of $4,000. Manager
Turner further estimates that, after
operating and transportation expens-
es and smelter losses are deducted,
the net profits for October will ap-
proximate $4,000.
In view of this splendid showing.
it is needless to say that the newly
discovered rich ore body OF the Vel
vet claim is holding its own. AS
matter of fact, it's continued explora-
ton is daily increasing it's proper
tions and potentialities. Connec-
tions for air having recently been
completed, the work of extending
drifts easterly and westerly in the
rich ore shoot from the top OF the
sixty-five foot vertical raise above
the east crosscut of the main south

YELLOW TIGER IS
SOON TO RESUME
AIR COMPRESSOR NEARLY
COMPLETE

After several weeks of preparatory
work, underground operations at
the property of the Yellow Tiger Min
ing company will again be in full
swing within the next few days. The
work of installing the recently re-
ceived eight-drill air compressor,
which will expedite the development
work in the future, is complete with
the exception of housing it. The
erection of a small building to cover
it is now in progress and will be fin
ished soon. New air pipe has been
installed in the shaft from the collar
to the 700-foot level, as we'll as
through the long northeast crosscut
from the shaft to the north and south
drifts on the vein.
Although the new additions to the
mechanical equipment of the proper
ty includes four drills, only two of
them will be used for the Immediate
future, according to General Manag-
CT SHdTlcS ~. WllhiHSOu II 10 hlo
plan to continue the drifts on the
vein on the 700-foot level, as well as
the raise started prior to the sus-
pension of work about three months
ago above the two drifts. These
ralsee are up distance of about fif-
teen feet and the roofs are exposing
from a foot to foot and half of
ore that averages about $40 ton.
They will be connected with the old
workings on the 600-foot level, direct
access to which from the shaft was
shut off by the caving of the crosscut
at that depth during the long period
that the property was idle prior to
the temporary resumption of opera
tions about six months ago. Manag-
er Wilkinson is also considering the
sinking of winze on the best por-
ton of the vein below the 700-foot
level.

VELVET DEAL HAS
BEEN CONCLUDED
JUMBO EXTENSION co. PAYS
MERGER BALANCE ON
CLAIM

Upon his arrival in Goldfield We'd
nesday, en- route to his headquar-
ters in Los Angeles after a brief
business visit in Tonopah, President
c. o. Whittemore of the Goldfield
Merger Mines company set at rest
rumors that have been current for
several days that his company in
tends to institute court proceedings
Mining company from further opera
tions in the Velvet claim, on ac-
count of it's alleged failure to keep
up it's monthly payments on the pur-
chase price.
Such reports said President
Whittemore, "are absolutely with
out foundation and have evidently
been started by persons with the
malicious purpose of affecting the
price of the stock of the Jumbo Ex-
tension company. That company
has paid every installment on the
purchase price when due and has
lived up to the terms of the deal in
every respect.
I'm further refutation of such ru-
mors, l wish to say that the Jumbo
Extension company will on Thursday
close up the deal by paying to the
Merger company the sum of $50, 200,
the balance due, Notwithstanding 1t
has six months in which to do so in
installments of $1,000 monthly, un-
der the terms of the lease and bond.
l was recently advised by the man
agement of the Jumbo Extension
that it wished to pay the balance
due on the Velvet claim; therefore |
came to Goldfield this morning and
placed deed in escrow with John
s. Cook and company, bankers. 1t
will be taken up Thursday. The
Jumbo Extension company has
truly wonderful showing in the Vel
vet claim and it has only the best
wishes of the Merger company"

FLORENCE KEEPS
UP PRODUCTION
FIVE HUNDRED TONS OF ORE
PRODUCED THUS FAR THIS
MONTH

Developments at the Florence
mine during the last week have been
of a routine character, the various
workings in which operations are be-
ing prosecuted yielding their usual
quota Of ore Four carloads or ap-
prOXimately 200 tons of ore were
sent to the Millers' sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company
bringing the total production thus
far this month up to ten carloads or
about 500 tons.
On the 53O-foot level, the west
crosscut from the main north drift
recently intersected the downward
extension of the vein which yielded
large tonnage of rich ore in the
workings of the old Wheeler lease
above in the early days of the dis
trict. At the point Of intersection
on the 530-foot level, the vein show
ed width of four feet of low grade
quartz, on which raise and drift
north have been started, the object
of the management being to catch
the downward community of ricn
ore shoot in the old Wheeler lease
The raise will be continued until
connection is made with winze
sunk by the lessee on the ore-body
below the 2S0-foot level.
Operations continue in the big
stope on the main Florence Vein
north and south of the main working
shaft on the 20O-foot level. An av-
erage of three to four feet or ore
that yield values of from SIS to $40
per ton. is being broken down from
both the front and hanging walls,
the richer or middle section of the
vein having been mined during the
early operations of the property. On
the 250-foot level an old northeast
drift has been cleaned out and
stope started on four feet of good
ore.

east crosscut on the 1O17-foot level
is now being prosecuted with all
possible dispatch, with highly graft
flying results. The face of the east
drift, out about thirty feet from the
raise, is exposing seven feet of ore
that averages around $3.50 per ton.
Although the face of the west drift
is partly into the shale footwall, due
to sudden turn of the vein, it is
yielding values of SIS ton for it's
entire width. The drift face is
gradually being worked back into
the ore body for it's entire width.
Conditions prevailing in the face

of the northeast drift on the $50
foot intermediate level, which is out
more than $50 feet from the line of
the Poleverda claim, make it certain
that an entirely new ore shoot is be-
ing disclosed in the Velvet territory.
On Tuesday, this drift, after passing
through about forty feet of quartz
of low value, exposed five feet of $22
ore. Samples taken Wednesday
from across the drift face showed
that the ore has increased in value
to $40 ton. Particular import
ance attaches to this disclosure, as
it extends further eastward the pro-
ductive area of the Velvet claim.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-10-24

Other workings in both the Velvet
and Poleverda territory of the mine
also continue to give splendid ac-
count of themselves.
GOldfield Consolidated
Although marked by no develop
ments of extraordinary Importance,
operations in the various properties
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company We're attended during the
week with the usual pleasing re-
suits. The preliminary estimates of
the cOmpany's production and earn
ings for September, recently made
public by A. H. Howe, secretary and
treasurer, shows that the mines pro-
duced total of 27,S46 tons of ore,
from which a gross extraction Of
$3O2,OOO was made. Expenses of
operation amounted to $1SO,00O,
leaving a net realization of 1922, 900.
General Manager Albert Burch set
at rest few days ago rumors to
the effect that the mill at the COM
pany's Aurora mine would be closed

the value of the ore being extracted
there. He explained that additional
equipment to increase the settling
capacity of the mill is soon to be in
stalled and that while the work is
in progress, not more than ten days,
the plant will suspend operations.
He further stated that there was no
truth in the rumor that the value
of the ore has declined.
Florence -GOudfield
That there has been a continuance
of highly pleasing conditions at the
Florence mine during the last week
is shown by the fact that four car
loads of ore were shipped to the
Millers sampler of the Western Ore
Purchasing company. These ship
ments brought the total output of
the mine thus far this month up to
ten carloads of approximately 500
tons of ore. The output at present
is being largely yielded by the big
stope on the main Florence vein
north and south of the main working
shaft on the 2O0-foot level, where
an average of three feet of SIS to
$40 ore is being broken down from
both the foot and hanging walls. On
the 250-foot level stope has just
been started above an old northeast
drift on three feet of good ore.
Above the 530-foot level drifting
and raising is in progress on four
feet of low grade quartz to reveal
the downward continuity of the rich
ore shoot profitably explored in the
old Wheeler lease territory to
depth of more than 28O feet in the
early days of the camp.
Merger and Atlanta
After suspension of several
months, operations at depth in the
of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company and the Atlanta
Mines company will be resumed
within the next week or ten days,
