CHANGE IN SHAFT
ON ORC GROUND
APPARENTLY BODY OF QUARTZ
WILL SOON BE RE-
VEALED

There is Justification for the be-
lief prevalent among mining men ia
miliar with conditions that develop
ments of importance will occur with
in the near future at the property
Of the Goldneld Orc Mining COM
pany. During the last week there
was not only a continuance of tho
favorable indications that have OBJ
tanned for several weeks past but
an improvement worthy of note in
the bottom of the shaft.
1t had practically been decided by
Manager Thomas F. Manning to in
augurate lateral work at the u.s.
foot point but the improvement in
conditions has caused him to delay
such operations for a few days at
least. When the 715-foot point in
the shaft was reached a few days
ago, a t%en-foot set of station timbers
was placed in position but in sinking a
stump a change in formation occurred
at The 727-foot point, reached Thurs
day; that caused Manager Manning
to become curious and he decided to
go a few feet deeper before starting
lateral work at the 715-foot point.
Apparently the shaft is passing out
of the oxidized stratum of vein mat
ter that it has been revealing for
some time. Muck from the drill
holes Thursday afternoon showed no
discoloration at all and had a
quartz-like appearances; therefore, it
is not unlikely that the next few days
will reveal a body of true quartz
and possibly ore of value.
Although Manager Manning has
not definitely decided, he says that
it is probable hat before starting lat
eral work at the 715-foot point he
will send the shaft down to the TAO
foot point. There he plans to cut
a pump station, and then sink an ad-
ditional Is feet or a total of 755
feet, at which point a 50-foot stump
cross-cut off the shaft will be cut for
the storage of water

WORK Of REPAIRING
SHAFT COMPLETED
LATERAL DEVELOPMENT RE-
SUMED IN BLUE BULL
PROPERTY

At the property of the Blue Bull
Mining company, the work of repair
ing and Strengthening the shaft,
catching up bad ground and easing
timbers, which is necessary in all
properties from time to time, has
been engaging the attention of Man
ager X. M. Simpson for the last two
and a half weeks. This work was
completed a day Or two ago and the
advancing of a new cross-cut near the
shaft on the 500-foot level has been
resumed.
On the 700-foot level a cross-cut
is being extended to the east and it
is thought to be nearing the vein
opened up on the 5OO-foot level. On
the 70O-foot level a cross-cut is be-
ing extended to the east and it Is
thought to be nearing the vein
opened up on the 5OO-foot level. On
the same level good Roadway is be-
ing made in prosecuting west into
the Victor claim to catch the main
Victor ledge.

months ago. said Mr.. Cutter, Il can
readily observe hat a change for
better times in the district has oc-
Cured. | think that am more than
justified in saying that the improve
ment in local conditions during The
last few months has been marked,
indeed, and that the future holds
much of promise for this district.
In Tonopah, conditions continue
first class and it is possible to figure
ahead with certainty just what can
be expected. In Goldfield there has
been a steady improvement of late
and there is every reason to believe
that the gratifying condition will
continue. | believe that Goldfield is
again coming to the front. How
ever. possibly because | do not favor
'booms', | do not anticipate any ex-
citing days such as the camp ex-
perienced in it's early history. With
a continuance of the present graft
flying results being obtained i'll var
lOuo DIODCltICo hhouC oEpdi Chtis -
tain, | believe that activity through
out the district will increase and that
there will be a gradual. but healthy,
growth in it's population.
And, with no attempt at fiatter-
ry, | wish to say hat there is no
community that l would rather see
improvement than Goldfield. Without
exception there is nowhere a more adj
mirable aggregation of mining and
business men who are deserving of
success than those to be found here.
They have stood by the district loyal
ly and with a hOpefulness hat is
rare. They are winning out and it
affords me qualification to be able
to observe their success. They de-
serve it,"

OF GREAT
BEND MILL DELAYED
LESSEES EXPERIENCE SLIGHT
BAD LUCK WITH A
MOTOR

But for 4 slight streak of a luck,
the Diamondfield Mining and Milling
company, which is operating adjoin-
ing blocks of ground on the estates OF
the Gldfeld Great Bend Mining COM
pany and the Diamondfeld Daisy
Mining company, would have placed
into commission it's recently COM
pleted five-stamp mill on it's leased
territory. In trying put the machin-
cry several days ago, an electric mo-
tor was burned out" and the work
of replacing It with a new n has
been engaging the attention OF the
~lessees. 1t is stated that the new
motor will be completely installed
and the mill in operation within the
next few days.
California capitalists are backing
the enterprise and local mining men
are confident that the operations OF
the lessees will bear fruit and stimu-
late the interest that is again being
shown in that and other outlying sec
tions of the Goldfield district.
The lessees will use water from the
Great Bend property in their mill,
which they expect to keep continually
running. Ore varying in width of
from two to five feet and assaying
from S. to $40 a ton, is being broken
down in stopping above the 1OO-fOot
level.

RAILROAD VALLEY Co.
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT

Before another winter comes to
interfere with drilling operations in
Railroad valley, in the eastern end
of Nye county, the intrepid men who
have been investing their capital in
the effort to find potash in CONNER
cial quantities will find their re-
ward through assurance of the con-
structiOn of works for the reduction
of soda ash and the building of a
railroad. The latter is all that is
needed to make the dposits of Rail-
road valley one of the best sources
of revenue known to the history of
industrial minerals. The indications
are most promising and there is not
much doubt of the contamination of
the project.
This was the sensational statement
made this morning at a special meet
ing of the stockholders of the Rail
road Valley company, held in the
offices of Hugh H. Brown. While
the report was expected, the full
tenor of the Importance of the fore.
cast was not realized until this meet
ing, when a formal proposition look
ing to the leasing of the lands of
the company IA laid formally before
the stockholders.
The matter came before the meet
ing in the shape of a resolution to
lease the entire property to a synli-
cate represented by Hugh H.. Brown,
julius Hausmeistar and Victor
Barndt, as trustees. This syndicate
agrees to develop the property by
guaranteeing a fund of 100000 with
a request that stockholders subscribe
for in proportion to their present
holdings in the Railroad Valley COM
pany,. This amount has already
been assured by the subscriptions of
the leading stockholders in case there
is any failure of minor stockholders
to sign up.
A soda factory in Railroad valley
would carry with it a railroad to
convey the product to the coast
Bonanza.

ADVANTAGE
OF PRIVILEGE
OLD KEWANAS STOCKHOLDERS
SENDING IN CERTIFICATES
FOR NEW ONES

That the stockholders of the de-
flu let Goldield Kewanas Mining COM
pany consider that the Kewanas
property has a future of great prom
Use is evidenced in no uncertain ia
shion by the n in which they
are availing themselves of the priv
ilege of continuing their connection
with it by sending in their old GER
~tificates, accompanied by remittances
at the rate of one and one-half cents
per share, for certificates of the cor
p%oration's successor, the Reorganized
Kewanas Mining company. Secretary
Howe is authority for the statement
that such stockholders are sending
in their old certificates freely.
AS previously stated in these col
umns the reorganized company has
been placed on an assessable basis
in order to provide funds with which
to make possible the development of
the property, which, due largely to
it's location in the heart of the pro-
ducing area of the Goldfield district,
nestled close to the properties of the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany, is highly regarded by mining
men c~onversant with local conditions.
The privilege afforded old Kewanas
stockholders to participate in the
new company expires on March 81,
1914. Although it has been an
nounced that the Kewanas will be
developed at depth through the La
guna workings of the GOldieli Con-
solidated Mines company, the details
of the Ilan of operation are still an
der consideration and have not been
fin,il, determined o

Dispute Unsettled

No settlement has been effected in
the dispute between Treasurer Miller
of Elko county and the state over the
latter's portion of taxes collected in
that county for this year. The lat

he would institute mandamus pro-
ceedings, to which the latter replied
that he had not changed his mind
in the matter and would not remit
another cent. Nothing has since
been done.

GATES Of BUCKINGHAM PALACE
CLOSED To FURTHER APPLICANTS

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE gates are
closed against any more applicants
for presentations to their maJestles
at Buckingham Palace this year. The
Lord Chamberlain has announced
that the lists are full, which Wlp
doubtless mean a lot Of disappointed
social debutantes from America in
London this season.
Four courts are ordinarily held
each year, two early in February
Just after the opening of parliament
and two in late May or early June.
Last year, owing to the large number
entitled to presentation, a fifth was
held, but at such Inconvenience that
it is hoped to avoid a repetition this
year. To these courts all h official
and diplomatic world receive the
command to attend and English lad
les, who themselves have been pre-
scented, have the privilege of asking
for a command for some debutante
friend.
Formerly these commands could
be asked for for a lady not a British
subject and in this way many Amer
leans were presented by English
friends. During King Edward S
reign, however, it was decided that
all foreign ladies should be presented
through their embassies. AS the m
bassies have only four invitations,
outside the diplomatic circle, to
,,l.:I o-1, la6inc Nf tho nnh1CSiDC
and legations and their a rela-
tives are admitted, it is easy to real
ize the demand that has been made
on the embassies for the privilege of
being presented. Strictly speaking
the four extra invitations are per-
sonal to the Ambassador or Minister,
but in some cases requests for pre-
sensations have been made through
the authorities of the country which
the ambassador represents,
This question of distributing the
four invitations is n of the most
trying that the social secretary or
an embassy has to deal with. He
receives hundreds of requests, all, or
mostly all, from people of equal mer-
it, and must have an early selection.
The rejected are his sworn enemies
thereafter. However, this year he
can point to the Lord Chamberlain's
notification that the lists are full.
Rain or shine Queen Mary must
have her umbrella, the habit being
so confirmed that she often feels
lost without it indoors, This peculi-
arity has become conspicuous through
the recent incident at Norwich where
the Queen insisted upon carrying her
umbrella through a whose
rules forbid the taking of walking
sticks or umbrellas into the picture
galleries.
The Queen has not altogether been
exempt from criticism for her refusal
to do as other people do in this
respect. The socialist papers seized
upon the incident and even in more
conservative quarters the Queens
conduct is questioned. The Daily
Sketch asks why Queen Mary. who
is usually so willing to adapt herself
to circumstances" would not temper

Combination mines of the CONSOLE
dated, we will open up a body of ore
that will likely cause great excite
ment.
In the sinking of the main shaft
on the Silver Pick, a great body of
quartz has been penetrated. 1t was
first revealed at a depth of 396 feet
and, although the bore now has a
total depth of 500 feet, the second
wall of the quartz body is yet to be
revealed. The entire mass of quartz
has given assays of around 81 a ton,
while at a depth of $50 feet h
shaft passed through a streak ten
feet in width hat assayed $40 a ton.
The streak referred to trends north
east and southwest and dips to the
northwest at an angle of As de-
grees. We are just about ready to
start prosecuting on the 500 or bot
tom level to catch the downward ex-
tension of this body of ore and as
soon as that task is accomplished
drifting both ways upon it will be
started to fully explore it. We es-
innate that the orebody will be re-
vealed in forty feet of prosecuting.
ITO facilitate future operations on
the property, we have placed an or
der for a two-stage air compressor
capable of operating four A-inch
piston machine drills, to be driven by
electrical power, to replace the pres
ent hand operations. Under the
terms of the order, the compressor
.yill be delivered on the ground with
in six weeks. We placed today an
order for an STANDARDIZATION pump
that will more than handle the pres
ent flow of water, which is approxi-
mately $4,000 gallons in twenty-four
hours. The new pump will be placed
in the drift stump that has been cut
out of the east end of the shaft. We
will also replace the bucket at pres
ent used in the shaft with a cage.
But, in the vernacular of the
street, the Silver Pick is not the only
pebble on the beach, There are
others, like the Sandstorm-Kendall,
Booth and Blue Bull, hat are aiding
in the steady improvement in min
eral conditions and good feeling in
Goldfield. | am happy to a hat the
present gratifying conditions are due
largely to George Wingfield's action
in the last year or two of reorganiZ-
ing many of the local companies and
making their shares a~ssessable, en-
abling the corporations to do a lot of
development work. Had the shares
of such companies not been placed
upon an assessable basis, the prop
critics affected would, in many in
stances, be idle today, whereas, they
are now all working and employing
lots of men and every n of them
gives promise of developing bodies
OF pay ore.
Il have lately been frequently
asked as to when silver Pick share
holders will be called upon to pay
an assessment. | wish to say that no
levy will be made for the next two
months and if we find the ore that
| confidently believe we will, we may
not need to impose any assessment
at all. While | have always been a
believer in assessable stock, l do not
believe in assessing more than is
necessary"

JUMBO Elk. BUYS VELVET

deal also calls for the resembling of
the old apex contract between the
Jumbo Extension and the Goldfeld
Consolidated Mines company by u
side-line agreement. Continuing Mr..
Sprague, in his wire referring to the
deal, says:
1T will be a good thing for the
camp and both companies concerned.
Ore has been opened up in the Velvet
by the Jumbo Extension that will
make a big mine later. The Jumbo
Extension treasury had $4,000 in it
on February / and the mine is max
ing a better output than ever. The
assets of the Merger will be vastly
increased and the bond issue con-
templated is now unnecessary. The
sale of the Velvet does not lessen
the prospects of making a big mine
of the Merger and insures the Jumbo
Extension a place as the second
largest producer of the district. The
Sprague interests continue in con-
troll"
1t is not reasonable that the Mer-
ger Mines company would part
with it's Velvet claim without suifi-
cient consideration and it will prob
ably become apparent in the future
that company has gained a substan-
tial stock control of the Jumbo Ex-
tension.
In a further telegram later in the
day Mr.. Sprague says Van Dyck now
has no connection whatever with the
company in any capacity and that he
(Sprague) has bought the Lockhart
stock.
Instead of continuing the work
done by the Merger Mines company
through the SOO-foot level of the
Jumbo Extension, the management
of the latter company, it is officially
learned, will develop it's newly ac-
quired Velvet claim on the 900-foOt
level. At the present time the Jum-
DO Extension is breaking down three
feet Of ore in a stope within forty
feet of the line of the Velvet claim,
the output from that particular
working at present being about n
carload weekly of rock of a
shipping grade material. The ore
from this stope is shipped to
the Western Ore sampler at Hazen.
Last Saturday a carload shipment of
this ore was made that averaged $40
a ton and another car was shipped
last Wednesday,. 1t is expected to
average the same.
As a matter of fact, the Jumbo Ex-
tension already has the development
of the Velvet claim under way from
the 900-foot level of it's Poleverde
workings. A drift to the northeast,
starting from a point near the stope
referred to above, has been adj
! vanced a distance of about 40 feet
into the Velvet beyond the line be-
tween the two claims. The drift is
following two feet of shipping ore,
and its exploration will be pushed
with vigor.
In the southwestern section of the
Poleverde claim, far removed from
stopping operations near the NelVet
claim and in no way associated with
them, the management is extending
a cross-cut eastward to intersect the
upward extension of a vein which was
revealed some time ago by a raise
from the 1000-foot level, showing
two feet of $40 ore, according to
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner.
Other workings are yielding their
usual quota of mill ore and the mine
Of five carloads a week to the leased
mill of the Jumbo Extension Reduc-
ton company, a subsidiary corpora
ton at Bonnie Glare. The mill ore
is averaging $12 a ton.
