MINING REVIEW

short raise that recently connected
the northwest drift along the shale
footwall of the vein, twenty feet be-
low the floor of the main stope above
the 97-foot raise from the east cross
cut off the main southeast crosscut
on the 1017-foot level, with the old
workings on the 921-foot level. The
new raise referred to is going up on
three feet of ore that averages from
$40 to $50 a ton. A full face of good
milling ore is being extracted from
south drift along the shale footwall.
To catch the downward continuation
of the vein, work was recently re-
sumed in the asst crosscut off the
main southeast crosscut on the 1917
foot level. The crosscut has entered
the Velvet claim territory and its OBJ
jective point should be reached soon.
The Velvet claim continues to give
an excellent account of itself in the
production of ore. A ten-fOOt cross
cut driven north from the workings
advanced on the S0O-foot level by
the Merger company when it owned
the ground has exposed the upward
extension of the vein, which is now
yielding from five to six feet of SO
to SIS pre-. Stopping upward and
eastward on five to six feet of SIS to
SIS ore continues above the S50-foot
intermediate level northeast drift,
the product being handled through a
raise from the 921-foot level east
drift. Above the 921-foot level
drift, two raises are being put up to
explore the hanging wall section of
the vein.
Florence GOldfeld
Although developments were of a
routine nature, the Florence mine
made it's usual splendid showing dur
ing the last week. 1t shipped the
early part of the week to the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company two carloads of ore,
bringing the production up to that
time up to $50 tons. Further ship
ments likely to be made before the
(lOSc VI tuc llOutn Will DIluS Iuc fAu-
gust output up to 500 tons. Under
the supervision of General Superin-
tendent Harry B.. Clapp, stopping to
the south continues from the branch
raise off the main raise above the
main north drift on the 15O-foOt level
on four feet of ore that assays be-
tween $50 and $50 a ton.
On the 200-foot level in the old
Gem lease territory, Superintendent
Clapp has temporarily ceased stopping
operations above an old drift on a
small streak of $12 ore followed
upon in a raise from the 25O-foot
level of the Baby Florence lease
ground. After a temporary suspen-
sion of about ten days, due to a de-
lay in the arrival of required heavy
timbers, which were delivered Thurs
day, operations are soon to be re-
sumed in the slopes north and south
or the shaft on the 250-foOt level on
the main Florence vein, where there
is a large tonnage of ore on both the
foot and hanging walls. In the old
Engineers lease, a raise has been
started from the 350-foot level to
catch the downward extension of the
twenty inches of $40 ore revealed bv
an u%nderhand stope on the 32S-foot
level.
Merger Mines
President c. o. Whittemore of the
Goldfeld Merger Mines is
expected to arrive in Goldield soon
from his headquarters in Los Angeles
to confer with local associates of the
company as to the future plans of the
company. The new pumps for the
company's 1S0O-foot main working
shaft, through which the Atlanta ter
rltory is operated at depth, are ex-
pected to leave the plant of the manu-
~facturers in the east in a few DAYS
and arrive on the ground about Sep
TENDER Is. 1t is the expectation of
the management of the Atlanta that
1T will be possible to resume develop
ment work about October /.
SandstOrm-KendalI
Manager A. |. Darcy of the Sand
storm-kendall Consolidated Mining
company has announced that the
south drift on the 35O-foot level of
the property has disclosed the down
ward continuation of the ore shoot
which yielded several months ago
from above the 2OO-foot level five
carloads of ore that netted 81
1929. The ore revealed on the $50
foot level gives average assays of
$32 a ton for an average width of
eighteen inches and a length of ten
feet.
