HOSTING ORE
At 1A[LMAGE
SEVENTY TONS ACCUNULATES IN
ADVANCING TWO
DRIFTS.

To facilitate operations, hosting
20 the surface of ore broken down
in development work and stored on
the 20O-foot level of the property has
been started by the Tallmage Mines
company, operating on Vindicator
mountain. Manager c. W. Hays es-
Inmates that at least seventy tons of
ore, ranging in value from $19 to
$50 ton, has accumulated on the
level in advancing the north and
south drifts. He believes that the
ore will average $50 ton and will
store it on the dump for the present.
When the broken ore that has ac-
cumulated is removed from the level,
the drift work will be prosecuted
more expedit 'ously. The face of the
south drift is now more than 100 feet
from the west crosscut from the
shaft and is exposing good ore. Val
ues in the north drift decreased re-
Gently, but at point Seventy-eight
feet from the west crosscut, are again
improving. the face giving assays of
about s12 ton. Manager Hays says
conditions in the drift are very satis-
factory and is confident that the
grade of ore now being extracted will
get back to an average of $50 a
ton or better within the next few
feet of work
On the 300-foot level the dacite
in the east crosscut is tightening up
and in consequence slower progress
is being made in the work than for
merly. The face of the crOsscut is
now 65 feet from the shaft. This
working is designed to intercept a
hig vein that outcrops on the surface.

INCREASES ITS
ORE PRODUCTION
JUMBO EXTENSION SHIPPING
EIGHTY TONS OF MILL
ROCK DAILY

The output of the Jumbo Extension
at present is far surprising all rec
ords of production in the previous
history of the property. With prac-
tically all the faces of the workings
being advanced yielding ore of good
grade, the mine is sending eighty
tons of mill ore daily to the CON-
pany's leased mill at Bonnie Glare.
in addition to despatching two car
loads of fifty tons each weekly to the
Millers plant of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company. Manager J. K.
Turner, who has charge of the mine
and mill, states that the mine is to-
exploratory work is steadily increas-
ing the available ore reserves of the
property.
Manager Turner estimated about
two weeks ago that development
work in the newly acquired Velvet
claim had opened up in it's, tributary
to 921-fOot level workings of the
Poleverda claim, available ore of the
gross value of $4,000. His calcula-
tions were made at a time when the
east drift on the S50-foot level in
termediate level and the northeast
drift on the 921-foot level had been
advanced so and zoo it., respectively,
from the Poleverda workings into the
Velvet claim. Since then the former
drift has been extended 40 feet and
the latter so feet, giving them a
total length at present of 120 and
250 feet, respectively. These two
drifts have been advanced steadily in
the orebody laying between the
latte and shale and the results ac-
complished have greatly increased
the ore reserves upon which Manager
Turner based his estimate.
The face of the intermediate level
drift is all in ore that gives average
assays of $3410 ton, with neither
wall of the vein exposed. In this
drift on the line between the Velvet
and Poleverda claims, stope has
just been started on two feet of $50
ore. For the last week work in the
face of the east drift into the Velvet
claim on the 921-foot level has been
suspended, on account of extensive

SHIPMENT MADE
BY SANDSTONE
FOUR CARLOADS OF ORE ARE
DESPATCHED IN THREE
WEEKS.

That the Sandstorm-KenGall mine
is splendidly maintaining its i'm
proved condition is evidenced by the
fact that the management today
shipped to the Millers' plant of the
Western Ore Purchasing company a
carload of thirty-five tons of ore that
is expected to yield average returns
in excess of 500 a ton.
The shipment To-Day makes the
fourth carload of ore that has been
shipped from the mine in the last
three weeks The first carload,
amounting to thirty tons, returned
SIS a ton Two carloads, each thir-
ty-five ton lots, were made about a
week ago. Although returns upon
these two shipments have not yet
been received by the management,
the ore is expected to give returns of
better than 500 ton.

management made an arrangement
with the GOldfield Consolidated COM
pany for the treatment of its ore at
a rate of SO a ton. Such an arrange
ment, when put into execution, will
permit of the Jumbo Extension com
pany increasing it's present shipments,
if such is desired. However, there
will be but a slight saving in milling
costs, which at the Bonnie Clare mill
are at present averaging about So. 6
ton, including transportation
charges. Tests made by the Gold
field Consolidated recently on Jumbo
Extension ore, while not yet entirely
complete, indicate that the plant OF
the former can make an excellent
extraction of values.

OPERATORS OF Pine TREE CAMP
OBTAIN GOOD RESULTS IN WORK

The rock plated between $19 and $40
a ton and the tailings averaged about
SO ton.
A large tonnage of excellent ore is
being extracted from the glory-hole
on the Reilly Fraction of the Com
mercial Mining and Milling company.
The rock is being transported by two
auto trucks to the War Eagle mill Of
the company, which is kept running
night and day According to the man
agement, the mill is making an excel
lent extraction.
Five tons of ore from the north
drift on the 25O-foot level OF the Mel
son-Juhl-Connor lease on the Man
haitian Mustang Mining company
property, recently treated at the Rog-
ers mill, returned an average value
of $135 a ton. Thirty-three tons of
ore taken from the same drift several
months ago yielded average values of
SIS a ton.
A force of eighteen miners. divided
into two shifts, is now employed in
the development work on the Wall
and Blaker properties by Harry
Thompson of San Francisco and as
sociates, who recently obtained a
working bond on them. Two 5O-foot
shafts have been sunk on the Wall
ground and drifts are being run in

FLORENCE KEEPS
UP ITS OUTPUT
STOPPING RESUMED IN Old
WORKING ABOVE 200
LEVEL.

Although operations in the prop
erty for the last ten days have been
largely confined to pulling "fill' of
waste rock from an old stope above
the main south drift on the 2O0-foot
level, in order to get at four feet OF
excellent ore on the hanging wall
side of the vein, the Florence mine
continues to maintain it's output, con-
sidering the comparatively small
amount of work aside from that de-
scribed. Thus far this month the
mine has shipped six fifty-ton car
loads of ore to the Millers' plant of
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany.
For the remainder of the present
month the production of the mine
will be upon normal scale. the
work of removing the 'fill' of the
stope referred to was completed
Wednesday and the stopping of ore
at that particular point in the mine
was resumed yesterday. The streak
of ore on the hanging wall side of
the vein in the stOpe referred to was
left untouched in the early operations
in the property, attention being CIV
en- exclusively to the extraction OF
the ore on the footwall side of the
vein. The hanging wall streak of
ore varies in width from two to five
feet and ranges in varue from SIS
to $40 ton.
A good tonnage of ore continues to
be obtained by stOping above the
1OO-foot level on the new orebody re-
vealed some time ago in branch
raise off the main raise from the
main north drift on the 150-foot level
in the immediate vicinity of the
shaft. The orebody is being mined
for about fifty feet in length and the
ton of the stope is about forty feet
above the 1O0-foot level drift. In
width the orebody averages about 5
feet and the rock being broken down
is of an excellent grade.
Superintendent Harry B. Clapp has
discontinued for the present work in
the east crosscut from the main north
drift on the 350-foot level, designed
to intercept the downward extension
of the orebody explored to depth of
100 feet several years ago in the old
Won Polenz lease ground. However,
crosscutting east for the same pur-
nose from the main north drift on
the 250-foot level continues.
On the 530-foot level the main
north drift is advancing on the re-
Gently revealed downward extension
of the vein explored to depth of
about 4S0 feet in the old Wheeler
lease. Three feet of ore of low grade
is exposed in the drift face. The
drift will be continued to point i'm
mediately beneath the forty-foot
winze sunk from the 3S0-foot level
drift in the vein. and raise will
then be started to connect with it.
An excellent grade of ore was ex-
tracted from the winze by the lessees
and the driving of the raise from the
53O-foot level to connect with 1t
should open up a considerable ton
pape of good ore

YELLOW TIGER
RESUMES WORK
CHARLES ID. WILLIAMSON Is MADE
MANAGER OF THE
PROPERTY.

In accordance with the announce
ment made two weeks ago by Presi-
dent II. A. Riedel of Denver, who is
making an extended visit in camp, op-
erations were resumed this morning
by the Yellow Tiger Mining company
on it's property, adjoining on the
south the vast estate of the Goldfield
Red Rock group, owned by A. ID.
Parker of Denver, Colo, and Thomas
G. Lockhart of Los Angeles, Cal, on
the west Charles ID. Wilkinson, a
well known mining engineer, has
been made manager of the property
by President Riedel and will have
charge of the companys future oper-
ations.
For the next fifteen days work at
the property will be devoted to the
unwatering of the 772-fOot shaft be-
low the 600-foot point. This will be
accomplished by baling. Until COM
pleted the working force at the prop
erty will be made up of an engineer
and top man on the day shift and an
engineer on each of the other two
shifts, it being the intention of the
management to unwater the shaft as
quickly as possible. Following the
accomplishment of this object, Man
ager Wilkinson will make a thorough
examination of the property Upon
his report will depend the nature of
hn n in, hn
which will be carried on an extensive
scale. as President Riedel states that
new life has been instilled into the
company through the purchase of an
interest by eastern capital for $685.
O0O
The Yellow Tiger property is
equipped with a dOuble-drum 100
horsepower electric hoist and a steel
head frame that stands forty feet in
height. The equipment is complete
in every respect with the exception
of an air compressor plant and Pres
ident Riedel states that it is the in
tention of the company to install one
as soon as the program of future Op-
erations is finally mapped out.
Considerable lateral work was
done on the 600-foOt level of the
property in the early days of the
camp, but as voluminous water
course was struck in the sinking of
a winze on the ledge, the level was
bulkheaded and cemented up by the
leasers. operating the property at

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

have occurred in the OrebOdies. In
tions have been largely centered on
pulling "fill" from an old stOpe above
the main south drift on the 2O0-foot
level, to make accessible an excellent
tonnage of ore on the hanging wall,
the output of the mine thus far this
month has been below normal. How
ever, six carload shipments have thus
far been made and the output for
the remainder of the month will be
normal, as the work of removing the
been completed and extraction of ore
from the hanging wall section of the
vein at the point named has been
resumed.
SandstOrm-Kendall
That there has been continuance
of the recent improvement in the
physical condition of the Sandstorm-
Kendall mine is made evident by the
fact that a carload shipment of ore
was made from the property Thurs
day This makes the fourth ship
ment that has been despatched from
shipment, made about three weeks
ago, amounted to thirty dry tons of
ore, from which average returns of
$76 a ton were obtained. The other
three shipments were each thirty-five
ton lots and settlements, when OBJ
tanned, are expected to show average
values of better than 500 ton.
GOldfeld OrO
The GOldfield ORC Mining company
has begun the cutting of station
at the S1O-foot point in it's S25-foot
shaft, preliminary to the Inaugural
ton of lateral work in the explora-
tiOn of the big vein revealed. The
results being obtained are daily be-
coming more interesting and it is
generally predicted that the drifts to
be run north and south from the
shaft in the vein will result in an
early discovery of Importance to the
entire district.

After a suspension of operations
for practically five years. the Yellow
Tiger Mining company Thursday re-
sumed the active development of it's
property. Following the unwatering

Well. be that as it may, they be.
Dogdays is somethink which

What we set out to say about

dogdays is the days when dogs
goes mad and bites persons with

helthy to be bit by a mad dog? We
should say not! Then let the B.

Of course we realise that the
B. of II. cant stop dogdays from
coming a bit more than they could
