JUMBO Ex. MAY
OUTPUT HEAVY
SHIPMENTS OF ORE TO MILL OF
GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED
BEGINS

No better evidence of the excellent
physical condition of the Jumbo Ex-
tension mine is to be found than is
furnished by the fact that during
last month it produced approx
mately 2.7S0 tons of ore, which
yielded estimated net profits of $780,
600, according to the management.
The mine sent during May to it's
leased mill at Bonnie Glare. south of
Goldfield, an average of two 8O-ton
carloads of mill grade ore daily or
a total of about 2,4S0 tons. In ad-
dition, it shipped during the month
to the Millers sampler of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company six So
ton carloads or total of 800 tons
of shipping grade ore.
Beginning today it is estimated
that the daily output of the mine
mill ore, as the arrangement for the
treatment of the ore by the mill of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company has become effective. The
initial shipments of ore from the
Jumbo Extension mine to the Consol-
idated mill were made yesterday,
and unless the unforeseen occurs
daily shipments of two carloads will
be made. The Consolidated ore cars
are of 50-ton capacity, and the man
agement of the Jumbo Extension rs
confident that it will have no diff
Guilty in filling two cars each day.
The new arrangement means that
the Jumbo Extension has ceased
shipping it's mill ore to the Bonnie
Clare mill, which has handled the
output of the mine, with the excep-
tion of the smelling rock, for the
past two years.
There have been no changes un-
derground at the Jumbo Extension
worthy of note recently. The east
diff into the Velvet claim on the
850-foot intermediate level is expos

ATLANTA WATER
FLOW INCREASES
FOOT LEVEL TEMPORARILY
SUSPENDED

In consequence of a great increase
in the volume of water, operations
on the vein on the 1750-foot level
Of the property of the Atlanta Mines
company have been suspended until
larger pumps can be Installed in the
shaft of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company, to which the water gravi-
tates. At present Manager Darcy is
confinding work to repairing the
Merger shaft and the long southwest
crosscut from the shaft into the At
lanta ground.
During May the south drift on the
vein in the Atlanta territory was ex-
tended with no change in conditions
and work was continued in the raise
above the north drift. The main
crosscut was extended and a branch
crosscut was driven to the vein at a
point about 100 feet north of the
face of the north drift. When the
branch crosscut exposed the hang
ing wall of the vein, it also opened up
an apparently new water course of
great volume. For the first five days
after the new water course was
struck, the flow averaged daily $780,
900 gallons and was handled by the
pumps at the 175O-foot station level
in the Merger shaft and by baling
with the hoist. The door of the bulk
head in the long crosscut at point
about 600 feet from the shaft was
closed to hold back as much of the
water as possible. However, the
pumps are at present handling 1OO,-
900 gallons of water daily.

GOOD RETURNS
SANDSTONE ORE
THREE CARLOADS SHIPPED IN
MAY AVERAGE $45, $57.7O
AND $500

Under the supervision of Manager
Arthur |. Darcy. who recently sue
ceeded X. M. Simpson, excellent
headway continues to be made in
the operations at the property of
the Sandstorm-Kendall Consolidated
Mining company. During the month
of May the mine produced three car
loads of ore. The output was shipped
to the Millers sampler of the West
ern Ore Purchasing company. The
cars yielded returns OF $45, $57.7O
and $3.50 per ton. respectively
During May 344.5 feet of develop
ment work was accomplished. On
the 100 and 35O-foot levels drifting
continues along the rhyolite-andesite
contact. Small paintings are occa-
sionally obtained in the work. On
the 200-foot level the south drift is
being extended beyond the stope on
that level and occasional values are
being obtained. Two raises are also
being put up on the contact above
the 200-foot level drift.

Routine developments were the
rule during the last week in the
properties of the Goldfield COnsOli-
dated Mines company. The output
of the various properties remained
normal, with continuance of high
ly pleasing conditions. That the
mines of the company are far from
exhausted is clearly shown by the
final report of General Manager AL
bert Burch for the month of April
recently made public. nuring that
month, the mill treated total of
2S,281 tOns-a daily average of
about $40 tons, from which net
profits of $15O,764.47 were realized.
1t was shown by the report that the
Mohawk continues to hold first posi-
tion among the mines of the COM
pany as a 'star performer" in the
production of ore of excellent grade.
Manager Burch states that the 4O7-O
sill between the third and furth
levels of the property produced 376
tons of $22 ore from the northern
extension of the Orebody opened up
in the old 407 stope.

where the milling ore has been re-
duced for the last two years.
According to a preliminary esti-
mate of President Harry Schwaikert
of the Jumbo Extension, who is at
his New York offices, the net profits
of the company for May will amount
to $4,000. The mine shipped last
month a total of approximately 2,78O
tons of ore. The milling ore sent to
the company's leased mill at Bonnie

FLORENCE MINE
KEEPS UP OUTPUT
UPON APRIL PRODUCTION
OF PROPERTY

The Florence m:ne produced
922,1S tons of ore during the month
of April, according to statement
Just issued by President A. d. Par
ker from the Denver office of tho
company. The gross value of the orc
was $29,913.S3 or an average value
of 1924 per ton. Miscellaneous
earnings amounted to $11S.91 and
operating expenses $14,635.00, leav-
ing net profits for the month, $15,-
397.74.
During the month of May, the pro-
duction of the property amounted to
seventeen carloads or approximately
$50 TONS Although returns upon all
the shipments have not yet been OBJ
tanned by the company from the
Western Ore Purchasing company,
through which the ore was disposed
of, it is expected that the average
value per ton of the May output will
prove as good as that of April.
The steady output of the mine for
not only April and May but several
months reflects the highly pleasing
conditions prevailing in the property.
The hanging wall streak of the main
Florence vein is yielding an excellent
tonnage of ore in an old stOpe above
the main south drift on the 2OO-foOt
level. In the early operations in the
property, the management permitted
the ore now being extracted to re-
main on the hanging wall side of the
vein, devoting its attention to the
footwall streak. "Fill' was recently
pulled from the stope to get at the

dullest and mining conditions were
discouraging. 1t was the confidence
of your own people that kept alive

He is engaged in writing series OF

of sinking the main working shaft
from the 800 to the 42O-foot point.
On the 400-foot level we cut into
the vein a distance of three feet. but
the increased flow of water drove us
out. Although the flow of water
makes it impossible to continue work
on the new level at present, and we
were unable to interest the vein, 1t is
safe to estimate that the ore body
