War EAGLE MILL AT MANHATTAN
MAKING AN EXCELLENT SHOWING

Advices from Manhattan indicate
that War Eagle mill, recently enlarg-
ed from ten to twenty stamps by the
newly organized Commercial Mines
and Milling company, is making an
excellent showing. inc plant will soon
soon be operating at full capacity
and it is confidently expected that ii
will establish new record in Ne
vada for low milling costs.
The tramway constructed from the
top of Mustang hill to the mill
has greatly reduced transportation
charges. Such costs in the past have
exceeded the entire present expense
of mining, milling and transportation.
BY means of the tramway, it requires
less than three minutes for a three
ton car to run from the top of the hill
to the mill, dump it's load and return.
Electric power is used to return the
car from the mill to the top OF the
hill, the cost of which is less than
fifty cents per day.
Operations at the Mushett-Witten-
berg lease on Union Nine claim are

ing the GOO-foot main working shaft,

REORGANIZATION
PLAN COMPLETE
TO BE RESUMED ON
BUTTE-GOLDFIIIIi
PROPERTY

L. l.. Patrick and associates in the
ownership of the old Butte Goldfield
property in the Gold Mountain dis
trict twelve miles west from Bonnie
Glare, have completed details for the
reorganization of the defunct Butte
Goldfield Mining and Reduction COM
pany as the Butte-GOldtield Reorgan-
lied Mining company and operations
upon it will be resumed in the near
future.
Under the reorganization plan de
termined upon stockholders of the
old company will be accorded the priv
ilege of participating in the new cor
poration by the exchange of old for
new certificates upon the payment OF
bonus of l 1a cents per share. The
stock of the reorganized company will
be assessable but with limit of not
to exceed two cents in any one year.
All funds realized in the exchange of
stock are to be used in equipping
ond developing the property. With
in the last year lessees have exposed
a considerable quantity of commercial
ore but to make this ore available it
will be necessary to install machinery,
prosecute further development work
and build a road. The privilege of
exchanging certificates will expire on
May Is.
j. X Turner recently made thor
ough examination Of the property and
has prepared lengthy report. Ac-
cording to his report the main vein
can be traced for miles and is exposed
at various points across the two
claims comprising the estate, or about
1000 feet The vein where exposed
is large, the whole fissured and min
eralized zone being ten to twenty
feet wide. Ore to the total value
of $25O0 has been shipped from the
property and was produced by les
sees, who gouged and worked in
limited way. The ore, being sulphide
in character, is well adapted for
treatment in the custom mill at Bon
ME Glare. The ore can be transport
ed to the mill by motor truck at
small cost. In concluding his re-
port, Engineer Turner says:
Considering the geological con-
ditions. the length of the ore pro-
ducing zone, as already proven, and
the area of unexplored territory, to-
gether with the quantity and quality
of the ore now exposed, it is my
opinion that this property. with sys-
tematic development, as advised, can
be made a profitable. producing

WORK RESUMED
ATLANTA GROUND
NEW PtTMP COMPLETELY IN
STALLED IN THE MERGER
SHAFT

Upon the completion Thursday of
the work of installing the new pump
in the shaft of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company estate, the lateral de-
velopment of the property of the At
lanta Mines company, by means of the
long crOsscut tributary to the 1850
foot level workings of the former, was
resumed on a normal scale after a
curtailment of several weeks, cOnse-
quent upon a marked increase in the
flow of water.
According to Manager X. M. Simp-
son, the new pump in the Merger
shaft, to which the water from the
Atlanta crosscut finds it's way, is
handling approximately 250,000 gal
Ions daily and is of sufficient size
to carry out a much greater volume
should it develop. With the new
pump in the shaft and the ventilat-
ing system, Manager Simpson will
be enabled to prosecute operations in
the Atlanta crosscut in the future
more expeditiously than at any pre-
vious time.

MERGER MINES
WILL GO AHEAD
PRESIDENT .WHITTEMORE MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT AS TO
FUTURE PLANS

The details of the negotiations be-
tween the Jumbo Extension Mining
company and the Goldfield Merger
Mines company looking to the acqui-
sition by the former of the Velvet
claim will be definitely arranged and
ready for submission to the stock
holders of the respective corporations
within the next week or ten days,
according to c. o. Whittemore of
Los Angeles, president of the Merger
company.
Mr.. Whittemore arrived in Gold
field Sunday for the purpose of dis
cussing with his local associates and
Vice-President Charles s. Sprague of
the Jumbo Extension company the
pending negotiations. Conferences
were held all day Monday and at
their conclusion Mr.. Whittemore, who
departed for Los Angeles last night,
stated that as more time would be
required to go fully into certain of
the details of the deal, further
meeting of Mr.. Sprague and him
self would be held within the next

rest assured that the deal, if con

The installation of stationary

MOVING GROUND
RETAROS WORK
GOLDFIELD ORC EXPERIENCING
SLIGHT DIFFICULTY WITH
FAULT PLANE

Bad or moving ground, common
at such depths in this district, has
during the last few days slightly
retarded the completion of the large
station at the 715-foot level in the
snaft of the Goldfield Orc Mining
company. However, Manager
Thomas F. Manning now has the sit
uation we'll in hand and the work
should be completed within the next
week or ten days.
Aside from the fact that the shaft
recently revealed at depth of 737
feet solid body of quartz. which is
yet to be explored. the theory that
the Orc estate is traversed by the
Columbia Mountain fault, along
which some of the best orebodies of
the district have been disclosed, is
further strengthened by the bad or
moving ground at the depth named.
The condition is taken by local min
ing men familiar with the geology
of the district as an excellent indi'
cation. Following the completion OF
the main station, pump station will
be cut at the 740-foot point and a
pump crosscut driven at the 755-
foot point, before exploratory work
on the newly discovered vein is in
augurated.
