VERNAL LESSEES
TO SHIP SOON
WILL SEND TO SAMPLER ABOUT
TWENTY TONS OF $50
ORE

A shipment of approximately
twenty tons of ore will be made in
the next few days by Walter Fitz-
gerald and Leonard Peterson, former
employees of the Vernal Mining COM
pany, who have been operating a
lease on the property since about
August 1, when work on company
account was suspended, as a result
of the uncertain financial conditions
that followed the outbreak of war
In Europe. The lessees and Walter
S. Norris, superintendent for the
parent company, estimate that the
shipment will average $50 ton. 1t
will be sent to the Millers sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany.
At present the lessees are con-
the south drift on the 200-foot level
on about foot of ore. assaying
around $50 ton, in the sulphide
portion of the vein against the hang
ing wall. They revealed the ore
with a raise about fifteen feet above
the drift level and have explored it
upward for a distance of about ten
feet. AS the vein lays very fiat, it
is their intention to crosscut west
from the drift to intercept the down
ward extension of the ore bOdy II
is calculated that to reach the OBJ
jective point it will be necessary to
drive about forty feet. Below the
100-foot level south drift, the com
pany sunk an eighty-foot winze on
the same ore body about year
ago, the operations yielding several
carloads of excellent rock.

VELVET STRIKE
SECOND MOHAWK
SUCH Is OPINION EXPRESSED
BY SAN FRANCISCO
BROKERS

1T is the greatest showing l have
ever seen, excepting the Red Top
and Mohawk in the boom days of
Goldfield: it is a second Mohawk.
The above quoted sentence was
uttered yesterday afternoon by r. l..
t"Dick") Colburn, a pioneer of this
district, but for the last four years
a broker of San Francisco, following
his inspection of the great body of
rich ore that has recently been ex-
posed at depth in the Velvet terri
tory of the Jumbo Extension mine.
To make personal examination of
the strike Mr.. Colburn and Herman
Zadig, also San Francisco broker,
who is president of the Silver Pick
Consolidated Mines company, oper-
ating in this camp, arrived in camp
yesterday morning. Accompanied
led by Vice President Charles S.
Sprague and General Manager j. X.
Turner, Messrs. Colburn and Zadig
went through the mine. Both WIS.,
itors declared after their under
ground tramp that their observa-
tions had surpassed their fondest ex'
pectatiOns.
-Four years have passed since my
last visit to Goldfield," continued
Mr.. Colburn, and l want to say that
the dear old camp certainly looks
good to me- 1t is the liveliest place
that | know of today. GOldfield is
again holding first position in the
interest of mining investors of the
entire country, in consequence OF the
big discovery in the Velvet claim OF
the Jumbo Extension. In the brok-
erage circles of San Francisco. Gold

east and west were started and ad-
vanced a distance of ten feet in each
direction from the point named,
both faces exposing five feet of
5000 ore. For the immediate pres
ent, the further exploration OF the
new orebody will be largely confined
to the extension of the two drifts.
The ore broken down from them
will be dropped down the vertical
raise to the 1017-foot level, which
affords an economical method of
handling it.
Above east "shale" drift, stope
No. $40 has been started and is now
up about fifteen feet on three feet
of ore, which, as broken down, is
yielding assays of $50 per ton. 1t
will soon connect with the 921-foot
level and further improve the VEN
tilation of the Velvet workings.
Raise ALAG from the top of the
stope above the S50-foot inter-
mediate level northeast drift is
yielding a full face of mill grade
ore. This raise is prospecting the
virgin western portion of the Velvet
claim above the S50-foot level. The
east drift on the 921-foot level now
measures 21O feet in length from
the line of the Poleverda claim and
the face is exposing low grade ore.
Slope 414-J above the same drift is
yielding a good tonnage of ore, five
feet of SIS ore being exposed in the
roof. The extension of $40 east
drift along the shale footwall of the
vein, eighteen feet below the 921-
foot level, has been resumed, the
face revealing four feet of 800 ore.
The blocking out of ore, ranging in
value from $40 to SIS per ton, for
future extraction continues on the
700 and S5O-foot levels of the Pole
verda territory. Excellent showings
of this grade of ore are being de-
veloped in the drifts on two levels.
On the 921-foot level of the Pole
verda, at a point fifty feet from the
line of the Velvet claim, a west
crosscut has revealed the upward
extension of the orebody which was
stopped for a short distance above
the west "shale" drift. The face of
the crosscut is exposing mill grade
ore. The crosscut will be continued
to explore a large area of virgin
ground of the Poleverda claim.

NEW DRIFTS IN
SILVER PICK CON.
WILL EXPLORE ORE BODY RE-
VEALED BY 5OO-FOOT LEVEL.
WINE

In accordance with the plans for
future operations mapped out at a
conference between Genera! Superin-
tendent Walter s. Norris and Presi-
dent Herman Zadig yesterday mo-n-
ing prior to the latter's return to
his headquarters in San FRANCISCO
after brief visit in camp, short
north and south drifts were started
this. morning at a depth of forty feet
in the 111-foot winze below the
south drift from the east crosscut on
the 5O0-foot level of the Silver Pick
Consolidated property. At the
point named there is exposed in the
winze about two and half feet of
$19 ore.
The new drifts will only be ad-
vanced in each direction a short dis
tance, in order to afford the manage
ment an idea as to the rake of the
ore body. After this has been de-
termined. drifts north and south
along the hanging wall of the big
vein will be extended from the bot
tom of the winze. which is at present
exposing low grade quartz.
Although he named no date, Pres
ident Zadig stated that after the ex-
ploration of the ore body revealed
by the winze with the drifts from
the forty-foot point and bottom of
that working, sinking will be resum-
ed in the shaft below the 500-foot
station with depth of 600 feet as
the objective point. President Zadig
is exceedingly confident that the
continued development of the prop
erty will soon result in the discovery
of pay ore in commercial quantities.

LOCAL SAMPLER
MAY AGAIN Open
MOVEMENT LAUNCHED BY MIN
ING MEN FOR THAT
PURPOSE

In consequence of the excellent
ore showings In a number of the To-
cal mines, notably the Jumbo Ex-
tension, and the highly gratifying
improvement in the future outlook
for the district, a movement has
been launched for the purpose of pre-
vailing upon the management of the
Western Ore Purchasing company to
reopen it's sampler in this camp.
In the vent the efforts of the min
ing men behind the movement fail,
there is possibility of the organiza-
tion of company for the construc-
tion of new sampling plant. 1t is
felt that present steadily improving
conditions in the district justify a
local sampler.
The local or Columbia sampler of
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany was closed down about a year
ago, since which time the concern
has received all Goldfield ores
shipped at it's Millers sampler.
For several months past the man
agement of the ore purchasing COM
pany has been considering the advis-
ability of closing the Millers plant
and reopening the local sampler. 1t
is probable that the present move
ment will have the effect of causing
the management of the ore purchas-
ing company to make an immediate
decision in the matter. AS little ore
is shipped from Tonopah. the Millers
sampler is handling only that sent
out of Manhattan by way of Tono-
pah, in addition to its Goldfield ton
mage Should the Millers plant be
closed and the local sampler reopen
ed, the Manhattan ore would be ham
died at the Hazen establishment of
the ore purchasing company.

NEW COMPANY BEGINS WORK
in GOLD CRATER DISTRICT

Under the supervision of Charles
o. Orr of Goldfield, as manager, the
Gold Prince Mining & Leasing COM
pany has inaugurated operations in
the Gold Crater district, east of
Goldfield, on the old Gold Crater
Consolidated Mining company prop
erty, under lease and bond obtain
ed some time ago by Mr.. Orr from
Thomas d. Murphy, the present own
er. Miners are engaged in putting
the workings on the forty and 30
foot levels in shape for extensive op-
erations. The shaft on the proper
ty has depth of 265 feet and is
equipped with twelve h. p. gaso-
line hoist.
The new company was organized
about two months ago and is COM
posed of Grand Island and St. Paul,
Nebraska, parties. 1t is capitalized
for 100000 shares of the par value
of 81. The officers are: President,
A. H. Farnsworth of Grand Island;
vice president, Joseph Kotik of ST.
Paul; secretary-treasurer, E. L.
Luker of Grand Island; directors,
the above named, with Emma C. Lu-
ker of Grand Island and Charles o.
Orr of Goldfeld.

Notwithstanding the fact that
about three weeks have passed
since it vas rade, the disclosure of
high grade ore at depth in the Vel
vet claim of the Jumbo Extension
mine continues to hold first position
among the important developments
in the Goldfield district in the last
four or more years This is due to
the fact that, as it's exploration pro-
crosses, the real significance of the
discovery is being gradually reveal
ed; therefore, the exact magnitude
of the orebody can only be cOnjec-
tured at the present time. Suffice,
it is to say that with it's present de-
veloped tonnage of rich ore the Vel
vet claim is certain to prove veri-
table storehouse of wealth. 1t is a
common prediction that 1t will prove
Second Mohawk" Among the
mining men who have inspected the
new orebody and who have given ut
terance to this prediction are r. L..
c'Dick"D Colburn and Herman
Zadig, brokers of San Francisco,
who have been identified with Gold
field since it's infancy and who keep
the district, as is required by their
business interests. Messrs. Colburn
and Zadig recently made visit to
camp and for no other reason than
to examine the strike and get first
hand information as to it's possibili-
ties Both were astounded by the
remarkable showing of high-grade
ore and were enthusiastic in describ-
ing their observations.
At least a small idea of the pOten-
tialities of the discovery can be
cleaned from the fact that a raise
six by eight feet, extended in the
vein between two levels to improve
the air, produced ore to the esti-
mated value of $4,000. The raise
referred to, known as the air
raise, was driven on the orebOdy
tical raise above the east crosscut
off the main southeast crOsscut on
the 1O17-foot level to the east
"shale" drift, eighteen feet vertical
ly below the east drift on the 921-
foot level Picked samples of ore
from this raise, which Wednesday
connected with the "shale" drift
described above, have given assays
exceeding $4,000 a ton. At one
point in the raise, a sample taken
across eighteen feet against the
shale footwall of the vein yielded
an assay return of $799.35 per ton.
At no point in the raise between the
two levels did the vein assay less
than 500 ton for the width ex-
posed by the roof. Merely as an
experiment, 5S.3 tons of ore was
shipped as extracted from the raise,
instead of being mixed with lower
grade rock from other workings of
the mine, as has been the policy of
/ the management. According to
control assays, the "high-grade"
shipment, as it was termed, had a
value of $17,63S.11 or an average
value of $3O2.55 per ton.

DISCOVERY is MADE ON
BLACK BUTTE PROPERTY

According to the management OF
the Diamondfield Black Butte Reor-
ganized Mining company, east cross
cut No. 1 from the southeast drift on
the 1OO-foot level of the main shaft
on the property on Friday revealed
the downward extension OF what is
known as the Flat vein. At the
point of intersection the vein is only
six inches wide, but assays $244 a
ton. Drifts southeast and north
west will be started on the find i'm

agement to proceed with the eX-
ploration of the new orebody upon
an extensive scale. Work has al
ready been resumed in the east and
west drifts on the vein from the top
of the sixty-five foot vertical raise
above the 1O17-foot level, which
first revealed the rich orebody about
three weeks ago. These drifts were
at that time extended in each direc-
ton a distance of about ten feet,
both faces exposing five feet of
5000 ore. Other workings in both the
Velvet and Poleverda claims are
yielding their usual quota of ore.
GOIdfield Consolidated
There were no notable develop
ments during the week in the vari-
Gus properties of the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company, all Of
them maintaining their usual out
put of ore. According to a prelimi-
nary estimate recently given out by
A. H. Howe, secretary and treasur-
er, the mines produced during Sep
tember a total of 27,S46 tons of ore
which yielded a gross extraction of
$3O2,0OO. Operating expenses to-
tailed $18O,O00. which leaves net
profits of $122,000.
Florence GOldfield
Routine developments prevailed
during the week at the Florence
mine. The shipments amounted to
three carloads. or approximately $50
tons of ore, making the total output
thus far this month six carloads or
about 800 tons. Practically the en-
tire output continues to be mined
from the big stope on the main Flor
ence vein north and south of the
shaft on the 2O0-foot level, where
an average of three feet of SIS ore
is being broken down from both the
hanging and foOtwall sections of the
vein. On the 250-foot level, the
work of cleaning out an old north
east drift continues, preparatory to
raising on four feet of excellent ore
recently discovered by General SUI
perintendent Harry B. Clapp. This
find was made in the old Florence
Consolidated lease territory, which
yielded considerable tonnage of
rich ore in the early history of the
property.

Carrauza Approves Villas Order
and Extends It-Refugees'
Train at U. S. Border,

Ell PASO. TEXAS, April S.-That
increased at least $4,000, 900 by the
expulsion of Spaniards from Mexico
and the confiscation of their property
was the declaration made by officers
of the Constitutionalist cause to-day.
General Carranza the Provisional
President of the Constitutionalists
who Is at Juarez, has not only ap-
proved the action of General Fran
cisco Villa in expeling more than 500
Spanish persons from Torreon, but he
has made 1t known that as the zone
of the Constituencies influence is
increased all Spaniards living in ter
ritory conquered by Villas men will
meet with the same fate.
The Spaniards are among the rich
est people in Mexico. and many of
the big ranches in Northern Mexico
were the property of Spanish peope.
Not only we're the Spaniards big
landholders but they own vast in
terests in mines and timber develop
ment companies.
Train Reaches Border.
The train bearing the Spanish FAM
lilies eXiled from Torreon slowly
crawled to day toward the border,
being frequently halted on sidetracks
to allow troop AMI supply trains 10
pass forward.
The exile train, made UP of five
passenger coaches, one baggage car
and eight freight cars, carried not
only more than 500 spanish men,
women and children, b';t t65 Federal
prisoners. who promised to swear al
legiance to Carranza in Juarez.
After a series of halts. the train,
with its dispirited passengers, crawled
into the outskirts of Juarez shortly
before dawn, where it was again held
up for two hours before being shunt-
ed to the National Railways yards,
A detachment of Constitutionalist
soldiers surrounded the train, and
refused to allow any passengers to
land until arrangements We're made
by the American customs officers for
the transfer Of refugees to United
States soil.
