c, 0. D. STRIKE
IS IMPROVING
NEW OREBODY HAS BEEN OPEN
ED UP ON THREE
LEVELS

Eminently satisfactory results are
attending the exploration OF the new
discovery of ore made about ten days
ago in a south cross-cut from the
east drift on the 260-foot inter-
mediate level of the Victor shaft on
the property of the c. o. ID. ConsoH-
dated Mining company. which is be-
ing operated under longtime lease
by the Nevada Cooperative Mining
company. The find is proving one
of the most important recent devel-
opments in the property.
In a drift from the cross-cut on
the intermediate level named, the
vein has widened out from three to
five feet, assays of the entire face
averaging $50 ton. In the last
few days. the upward extension OF
the orebody has been opened up by a
new south cross-cut from the main
east DRIFT on the 200-fOot level and
by a short cross-cut south from the
top of 40-foot raise above that
level, proving it's continuity for a
distance of 100 feet on the incline
of the vein At the two new points
at which it has been revealed, the
creDody measures four feet in width
and gives assays of $50 ton.
Since the first of the month, three
carloads of ore have been sent from
the property to the Jumbo Extension
Reduction company mill at Bonnie
Clare, the last shipment being
despatched Tuesday. The first car OF
ore averaged SIC and the second 81 ;
a ton, according to the management
The property is shipping at the rate
of a car every other day.

ORC CONDITIONS
ARE SATISFACTORY
ONLY ACTUAL DISCOVERY oi
ORE CAN IMPROVE
SHOWING

Only the actual discovery of pa.
rock can improve the highly en-
couraging conditions prevailing
the property of the Goldfield ORE
Mining company, according to Man
ager Manning. All conditions that
have preceded the disclosure of ore
OF depth in other properties along
the Columbia Mountain fault are
present in the ORC shaft and there
is; every reason to believe that the
company will be able to announce an
important discovery ere long.
The shaft is now down TO feet.
From the 735-foot point it has re-
vealed the brecciated zone which is
closely associated with orebodies at
depth in this district. The breccia
is made up of a mixture of quartz,
andesite and tale and plainly shows
fault movement, having the appear
ance of having been ground up and
recemented. 1t carries great
amount of iron and quickly oxidizes
when exposed to the air.
Operations in the shaft were sus-
pended for two days during the last
week on account of trouble with the
big motor that drives the hoist. 1t
was necessary to take it from its
foundation and repair it. The motor
was re-installed Sunday and opera
tions are again in full swing. Man
ager Thomas f. Manning is well
pleased with conditions prevailing at
the property and feels confident that
a discovery of Importance will be
made in the shaft in the near flu
ture.

Jumbo Extension
During the last week, the Jumbo
Extension mine has splendidly main
tanned the excellent showing it has
been making for several months past
and there is every reason to believe
that the net profits of it's operations
this month will equal, if not surpass,
those of March, which totaled $24,-
400, according to preliminary es-
innate made public recently by Vice
President Charles S. Sprague. The
work of following the Poleverda
claim orebodies into the Velvet
claim, recently acquired from the
Goldfield Merger Mines company,
from the 921-foot level of the for
mer, continues to be attended by the
most pleasing results. The manage
ment is at present erecting two ore
bins, each of 125 tons capacity,
alongside of the spur railroad track
on the property. These will be used
for the storage of ore as measure
of precaution against Interruptions
to power service and loss of time
when railroad cars are not i'm
mediately available.

IMPROVED SHOW
ING IN A GRATIFYING
MANNER.

Judging from the character and
quantity of ore being mined, the
Jumbo Extension Mining company
will make as good a showing during
t is month as it did last month, when
the net profits, according to the pre-
liminary estimates made public re-
Gently by Vice President Charles s.
Sprague, totaled $24,400. While
there have been no late developments
of an extraordinary character, the
mine is splendidly maintaining its
improved condition and it's future Is
exceedingly promising.
Good headway continued to be
made in the work of exploring at
depth the Velvet claim recently ac-
duired from the Goldfield Merger
Mines company by way of the 921-
foot level workings of the Poleverda
claim. The northeast drift into the
Velvet claim has advanced more than
100 feet across the Jumbo Extension
,ine proper, the face showing four
feet of excellent ore.
Drifting has been started on the
six feet of $24 ore recently revealed
by an east crosscut into the Velvet
ground from the top of 5O-foot
raise above an old drift on the 81
foot level of the Poleverda workings.
This vein was revealed by the cross
cut just over the Jumbo Extension
line. On the dip of the vein, which
il about 80 degrees to the south
east from the horizontal, the new find
is about 1O4 feet from the northeast
drift into the Velvet claim on the
321-foot level of the Jumbo Exten-
sion.
In the big stope on the vein within
the confines of the Poleverda claim.
there is a great tonnage of excellent
ore exposed. averaging about six feet
in width To more economically and
expeditiously handle the output OF
the stope, which is assuming gigantic
proportions. a new raise is being put
ND from the 921-foot level. On the
l,O17-foot level, the raise being put
up from the end of the east crosscut
from the main south croscut now has
4 height of more than 60 feet. This
raise is destined to get under that
portion of the big orebody that dips
beneath the 921-foot level workings
and cannot be economically mined
through them. 1t is expected that
the raise will reach it's objective point
within the next twelve or fifteen
feet.

the cross-cut was run $50 feet into
the Union Jack claim, encountering
the contact between the shale and
latte, where only low scattering val
ues were obtained. The cross-cut
was extended 1G5 feet beyond the
contact and revealed various min
eralized streaks of quartz carrying
copper, gold and silver. At that point
it struck the vein on the hanging
vail side at an oblique angle. The
cross-cut was turned to run at right

at an angle of As degrees.
THE first seven feet of vein
matter on the hanging wall side
averages by car samples from So to
$40 a ton and contains some ore of
the value of $50 a ton. The next
five feet of the vein is heavy sui
phide ore which averages $27 ton,
the values being distributed ap-
proximately as follows: Gold. Sc;
silver. $3.50; copper, 8 per cent. The
sorted ore assays $50 ton. The

Late developments in the property
of the Florence Goldfield Mining
company have been of a routine but
eminently satisfactory character Ex

tained in the exploration of the new
OrebOdy opened up about month
ago in branch raise off the main
raise from the main north drift Oh
the 150-foOt level to the 1OO-foOt
level, at a point about fifteen feet
below the latter. A new raise to the

on the 250-fOot level Superintendent
Clapp is exploring a hanging wall

and yields assays ranging from $40
to $1O9 a ton. This streak includes
eight inches of high grade ore which
shows considerable free gold. A sam

several days ago, returned values Of
$1,4S2 ton. In the main north
drift on the 35O-foot level, winZe
has just been started on about a foot
of ore that assays SIG a ton.
To reveal the downward extension
of the famous Orebody which was ex.
plOred to depth of 500 feet in the
old Little Florence lease territory, a
raise has been started from the new
southwest crosscut from the main
south drift on the 350-foot level. 1t
is calculated that not more than
twenty feet of work in the raise will
be required to reach the objective
point. Good progress is being made
in prosecuting east on the 35O-fOot
level from the main north drift to in
tercept the downward extension of
the rich orebody which was explored
to a depth of 100 feet several years
ago in the old Won PolenZ lease.

in the 1,750-foot level crosscut from
the Merger shaft is none other thar
the extension of the main orebody of
the Clermont and Grizzly Bear mines
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company. Manager Simpsons report
makes it evident that he is well
pleased with conditions prevailing in
the Atlanta ground.
At the close of the meeting of the
stockholders today, A. H. Howe, sec
retary and treasurer, gave out the
following statement on behalf of the
management of the company:
Under date of April l, 1914, you
were fully advised of the plan for
the development of this property
which had been determined upon by
the management of this company
You were told that an arrangement
had been made with the Goldfield
Merger Mines company to sink its
shaft from the 400 level to the
1850 level and to cross-cut to the
Atlanta sideline, the cost of which
was to be borne jointly by the Mer-
ger and the Atlanta companies, with
the stipulation that the expense to
the Atlanta should not exceed $685.
900 in any event; that the expense
incurred in prosecuting beyond the
Atlanta sideline and wholy in At
lanta ground should be borne wholly
by the Atlanta. Under this plan,
the work of sinking the Merger
shaft commenced on December 20,
1912, and the sideline of the Atlanta

was reached on November Is, 1913,
we having paid $4,000 therefor.
About that time the general man
ager of this company, Mr.. K. Nj.
Simpson, was elected general man
ager of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company as we'll; so that the de-
velopment of the property is being
conducted under our immediate su-
pervision and, of course. the fine sur
face plant of the Merger company is
being availed of in our operations.
Rather than burdening stock
holders with detailed statements OF
operation, we simply desire to state
that in addition to the $4,000 paid
the Merger for our proportion of the
expense of the development in the
shaft and cross-cut up to the time
of reaching the Atlanta sideline, the
expense since that time has been ap-
proximately $1,000 per month, since
November Is, 1913, or $2S,OOO.
which leaves us a cash balance at the
present time of $4,000.
ION March 18th the general
manager made the following public
statement:

southwesterly direction a distance of
1913 feet from the shaft of the Gold

The curiosity of the mining invest
ing public in prevailing conditions
at the property of the Atlanta Mines
company, which has been the bright
particular star in the local firma-
ment for the last six weeks, was al
layed last Tuesday, when, following
the annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers in this camp, Secretary A. H..
Howe issued an official report con-
tanning the much-desired lnforma-
ton. The report makes evident more
forcibly than ever the fact that the
strike on the 175O-foot level, in the
long cross-cut from the main or st.
Ives shaft of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company, is one OF the most
important developments in the en-
tire history of the district and that
the Atlanta has the earmarks OF
great mine of enduring life.
1t is recited in the report that
General Manager X. M. Simpson is
sued on March 16 an official state
ment as to the showing OF ore IN
the cross-cut at that time, which
was to the effect that the first seven
feet of the vein on the hanging wall
sive averages by car samples from
SO to $40 a ton and that the next
five feet is heavy sulphide ore assay
ing $27 a ton, the values being dis
tributed approximately as follows:
Gold, Sc; silver, $3.50; copper, 3
per cent. Since the date of that
statement, according to the re-
port of Secretary Howe, the cross
cut has been extended ten feet and
exposed an additional foot OF the
sulphide ore and nine feet of very
low grade rock 1t is evident from
the figures given that the vein is
now twenty-five feet in width. The
report further states that there are
some spots and stringers OF copper
in the face of the cross-cut at pres
ent. Drifts started north and
south, according to the report, have
shown the values to extend along the
vein, although they are not as good
in the drifts as at the point at
which the orebody was first revealed.
Notwithstanding the fact that only
small amount of exploratory work
has been accomplished, the orebody
has been determined to be the eX-
tension of the main vein of the Cler-
mont and Grizzly Bear mines OF the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany. In addition to the strike in
the long crUss-cut on the 175O-foot
level, what is apparently an extern
sion of one of the main veins of the
Florence mine has been opened up in
the Atlanta claim of the Atlanta
property by a cross-cut run at a
depth of 200 feet from the Jumbo
No. 2 workings of the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company along the
line of the Florence property. The
find is a vein eleven feet wide, in
the center of when is six-inch
breccia streak assaying $12 a ton in
gold.
