Nine FEET OF
$27 ORE FOUND
CLAUDE M. SMITH REPORTS
DISCOVERY ON THE
HASBROUCK

Claude M. Smith reports a strike
of more than ordinary Importance on
the old Hasbrouck property in the
Tonopah-Gold Mountain district,
about eight miles south of the camp
of Tonopah. He states that a drift
from the upper tunnel on the prop
erty has exposed nine feet of ore
that assays $27 in silver and gold.
The strike at the point made gives a
depth or back" of 120 feet on the
vein.
A winze started on the find is now
down about fifteen feet, and the bot
tom gives average assays of $31 a
ton. with only one wall revealed.
Although in the same vein, the new
find has been made in a different
shoot of ore from that in which
raise was put up from the lower tun-
mel, eighty feet below. For the en-
tire distance between the two lev
Is, the raise exposed an average of
three feet of ore that yielded values
around $25 a ton. 1t is the inten
tion of the owners OF the property to
drift on the vein from the lower tun-
mel to catch the downward continu-
alton of the larger and richer ore
body. AT present the ore being ex-
tracted from the wYnze below the
drift from the upper tunnel is be-
ing handled through the raise from
the lower tunnel. The property is
owned by Mr.. Smith and George
Kernicke, both of whom have ex-
tensive interests in the Goldfield
district, of which they were pioneers.
On the Kernicke and Campbell
property, located ABOUT mile north
of the Hasbrouck ground, ten
foot shaft has revealed six and four
teen inches of ore assaying $146.05
and $21.S5 per ton, respectively.
Specimens from the smaller streak
showaan abundance of hornsilver.

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDFIELD DISTRICT

350-fOOt level is reported to have
produced some ore of good quality
lately and new raise is being
driven from this level.
Silver Pick Consolidated
The usual work has progressed Oh
the property of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated company and ore of good
grade has continued to show in the
winZe below the hanging wall drift
on the 500-fOot level. The working
force will be increased shortly and
it is the plan of the management to
resume sinking in the near future
and to put down the main shaft to
the 60O-foot level.
The Yellow Tiger
The manager of the Yellow Tiger
property, G. d. Wilkinson, has been
notified that the new compressor for
the mine has been shipped from
Denver. AS soon as it arrives 1t will
be installed and then development
work will be resumed on the 600
and 700-foot levels, with assurance
that good progress will be made in
the future. Operations continue as
usual on the Booth property, where
crOss-cut has been started from
the bottom of the winze, at u vertical
depth Of 700 feet. On the Diamond
field Black Butte work is in pro-
gress on company account and it is
reported that there is now large
tonnage of good mill ore in sight on
the property.

EXPLORING CONTACT ON
THE SANDSTORM-KEND

On the Sandstorm-Ken Con-
solidated property development work
continues along established lines on
the 200 and 350-foot levels, where
drifts are being driven to explore
the contact between the rhyolite and
andesite, in which a number of de-
posits of rich ore have been found
in the past. Some ore of good grade
has been broken lately in a raise
above the 350-foot level, from a de-
posit that is apparently the down.
ward extension of that found on the
2OO-fOot level and from which sew
eral car loads were mined earlier in
the year. The property is equipped
with a powerful electric hoist, a
compressor and machine drills and
good progress is being made with
the development work.

TALMAGE NINE
HAS RICH vein
DEPOSIT OF SHIPPING ORE is
DEVELOPED IN WORK ON
200 LEVEL

The Talmage Gold Mining com.
pany's property. situated on the east
ern slope of vindicator mountain
and at considerable distance from
any of the producing mines of the
district, has been the scene of de-
velopments lately that have every
indication of being most important.
For some months past there has
been a good showing of high-grade
mill ore in the workings, but more
recently the work on the 20O-foot
level has exposed a continuous vein
of shipping ore of excellent grade,
carrying gold, silver and copper.
On the 200-foot level the north
drift is now out about 145 feet, and
for distance of SO feet it has been
in an ore body containing about IA
inches of material that yields aver
age assays around $45 per ton and
has given many higher assays, up to
$500 per ton. In addition to this
ore there is body, varying in width
from three to four feet, of good mill
ore, the lowest assays from which
have been around SIT per ton, max
ing the entire ore shoot average
around $29 or $50.
This is an entirely new ore-shoot
and is distinct from that found near
er the shaft, where large quantity
of $50 ore was exposed. The ore
occurs in strong quartz vein, of a
character found heretofore only in
the central ore zone of the district
and commonly known as dacite
vein. The walls are we'll defined
throughout, the foot wall being an
desite, and the work thus far has
not exposed the Vindicator noun
tain alaskite. The drift Is pro-
crossing toward the Vindicator
mountain fault, which bears a SINH

MERGER PUMPS
READY TO SHIP
DEVELOPMENT AT DEPTH TO BE
RESUMED AT AN EARLY
DATE

Shipment of the new pumping
plant for the deep shaft of the Gold
field Merger Mines company has been
delayed for a few days beyond the
date promised, but Manager A. I.
Darcy of the Merger has received
positive assurance from the manu-
facturers at Dayton, Ohio, that the
pumps will leave there on the fifth
day of October. AS the company re-
ceived carload of pipe from Chica-
go lately within less than ten days
after it was loaded, and as arrange
ments have been made to expedite
this shipment, it is believed that the
car containing the pumps will be in
Goldfield by the 18th of the month.
The delay was caused by failure in
prompt delivery at the factory in
Dayton of the motors, to which the
pumping machinery must be ad-
justed. The motors were secured
from the General Electric company.
Upon the arrival of the pumps but
little time will be required for their
installation, as everything has been
prepared in advance, and the water
column, of six-inch steel pipe, is al
ready in place in the st. Ives shaft
the deepest in southern Nevada. is
1900 feet in depth, of three COM
partments and timbered throughout
with IL by 12-inch Oregon pine. The
surface plant is one of the best in
the state, including a 800 h. p. cleo
trio hoist, compressor of large ca
pacity and an S0-foot steel head
frame The new pumps, together
with those now in use and which will
be retained for the present, will have
a capacity of over 500 gallons per
minute and will readily be able to
cope with any flow of water that may
be encountered in future operations.
AS announced lately by President
c. o. Whittemore in a statement to
the Goldfield News and Tribune, it
is the intention of the Merger COM
pany to resume active development
in the near future and to thoro
explore it's grcurd at great I
seeking the extension of the main
Consolidated vein system, which has
been penetrated at depth of 1850
feet in the Atlanta, adjoining the St.
Ives claim of the Merger on the west.
Work will also be resumed by the
Atlanta Mines company, which was
compelled to suspend operations ow-
ing to the strong flow of water en-
countered in the west crosscut on
the 175O-level of the Merger shaft.
Two strong veins were penetrated
by this crosscut, and future develop
ments here will be watched with the
keenest interest.

SILVER PICK HAS
STRONG SHOWING
PAY ORE is EXPOSED IN GOOD
QUANTITY NEAR MOHAWK
BOUNDARY vi

Operations on the Silver Pick Con-
solidated property have continued
without any change of Importance
during the past week. The winze
from the hanging wall drift on the
5O0-fOOt level has made good prog
ress and has continued to expose
some ore of good grade, averaging
around $23 per ton. Ore of COM
mercial grade is exposed by the drift
on the 500 level. extending from the
main east crosscut in a southerly
direction to the boundary line of the
Combination claim of the Goldfield
Consolidated. The ore shoot is APP
parently about 100 feet in length,
along the hanging wall of the vein.
A raise was driven for some dis
tance from this drift and showed
some ore of good grade, but the best
ore was exposed in sinking the
winze. 1t is the present plan of the
to continue this winze
as long as the pay ore remains in
sight, and later the main shaft will
be sunk another lift of 100 feet, or
to the 600-foot level, where anoth-
er crosscut will be driven to the east
to connect with a drift from the
winZe. The property is in good con-
dition and gives promise of an i'm
portant production of commercial
ore with further development.

gust, and final returns from the
shipments in August show that the
company earned approximately $15,-
taches to the development work now
in progress in the territory of the
old Wheeler lease, where a raise is
to be driven from the 53O-foot level
to cut the orebody mined on the 2S0
level.
The Jumbo Extension
Developments on the deeper levels
of the Jumbo Extension property
have been of great interest, par
ticularly in the opening of the ore
foot level at point 125 feet
beyond the former deepest drifts on
ore and affording that length of new
stopping backs. A drift has been
started on the ore from the top of
the new raise and both the raise and
drift have been yielding some ex-
ceedingly high assays.
The assay sheets for the past few
days have indicated that the devel-
opments on this new level approach
the sensational, various assays taken
across faces of from 80 inches to six
feet yielding from 500 to $3.50 per
ton. The grab samples from mine
cars, as hoisted to the surface, also
show the high uniform grade of the
ore, one grab of 112 mine cars
yielding $151.4S per ton. Returns
from the control assays on the last
two cars sent to the sampler showed
averages of $S3.34 and $9S.95 per
ton for the two lots. The company
is now shipping an average of so
tons daily to the sampler.

Increasing interest is being
manifested in the affairs of the

YELLOW TIGER WORK
WILL Be THOROUGH
POWERFUL COMPRESSOR is NOW
ON THE WAY TO LOCAL
PROPERTY

Manager Charles D. Wilkinson of
the Yellow Tiger property has re-
ceived a telegram from H. A. Riedel
at Denver, president of the COM
pany. that the new compressor for
the property has been shipped and
it is expected to arrive here within
the next few days. Some delay was
occasioned in shipping the COM
pressor owing to the failure of the
company with which the order was
originally placed to deliver some OF
the required equipment. 1t is be-
lieved that President Riedel will
ccme shortly to inspect the property.
Development work, which was in
progress on the 700-foot level, was
suspended to await the arrival Of
the new compressor, as the manager
decided that greater economy in Op-
Grafton could be secured by using
air drills in the hard formation
found on the 600 and 700-foot lev
els. The drills will be ready for
use within a short time, insuring
rapid progress in opening up the
deeper levels of the mine.
1t is the plan of Manager Wilkin-
son to proceed with the exploration
of the 700-foot level, by means Of
drifts and raises, and to open up the
workings on the 500 level, which
have been partly closed by caving
ground and where high-grade ore
was found in the progress of earlier
operations.

STEADY OUTPUT
FROM FLORENCE
PROPERTY CONTINUES TO MAKE
PRODUCTION THAT YIELDS
GOOD PROFITS

Shipments from the Florence Gold
field mine to the sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing company
at Miilers have been maintained dur
ing September at normal figures,
and it is estimated that the earnings
for the month will be about the same
as in August. Final returns for all
August shipments show that the
company's net earnings in that
month were approximately SIS, 900.
The mine continues in satisfactory
condition, with ore OF good average
grade showing at number of points
in the workings.
The hopes of the management are
now centered largely on the results
of work now being carried forward
in the territory of the old Wheeler
lease, which produced a consider
able quantity of high grade ore dur
ing the period in which the bonanza
leases were operated on this prop
erty. The main north drift on the
530-foot level has been driven into
this territory, and a crosscut is now
being extended from it to reach a
point from which a raise will be
driven to cut the downward extern
sion of the Wheeler ore body.
The position and dip of this ore
shoot have been determined by ex-
ploring the old workings on the $50
foot level, where some rich ore was
found in a winze. partly filled with
waste material. There is reason to
believe that this ground will pro-
duce some important developments
when it is opened up and explored
by raises and drifts, at greater depth
than that attained by the old lease
workings. In clearing out the old
winze below the 2S0-foot level Su-
perintendent Clapp found three feet

JUMBO EX. CUTS
RICH 0REB0Dy
AREA OF STOPPING BACKS
OVER 125 FEET

Recent developments on the deep
er levels of the Jumbo Extension
property have been of the greatest
Importance. and Manager J. X. Tur-
ner has just announced that the ore
has been exposed by the new raise
from the 1017-foot level, more than
125 feet beyond the drifts on the
921-foot level and the deepest point
on the vein where the ore has been
penetrated. Throughout the develop
ment of this ground 1t has been
found that the ore has shown a
steady increase in value as depth is
attained and the new development
shows the best average grade of ore
yet opened by the company.
Yesterdays assay sheets show an
average sample across four feet of
the new drift yielding $535.S0 per
ton; a sample of five feet, $44S.36;
sample across thirty inches, $75.34,
and another across five feet,
$195.9S. Grab samples from 112
mine cars gave an average of $751;
As per ton; from 20 cars, $1S0.14
per ton, and from 33 cars, from an
other point, $45.26 per ton.
Controls from the last two cars
shipped to the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company's sampler, just receiv-
ed, show: First car, gold, 3.45 o.:
silver, S.35 o.: copper, 40 per
cent. Second car, gold, Ala oz.;
silver, 1910 o.; copper, 4.50 per
cent. Average value, $S3.34 and
$9S.95 per ton, respectively.
The new raise, from crosscut on
the 1017-foot level, exposed the foot
wall of the ore body after having
been driven a distance Of 65 feet,
and at this point drift was started
on the ore last week. The full face
