MAKES VISIT TO
-FOUR DISTRICTS
CHARLES ID. WILLIAMSON SAhS
MINING ACTIVITY is IN
CREASING

Charles ID. Wilkinson has return
cd TO camp after an absence OF
four days, spent in making an auto
mobile tour OF the mining camps OF
Athens. Goldyke, Orizaba and Pac-
tolus. He states that in each of the
camps visited he found considerable
activity and an optimistic feeling
prevailing among the operators and
miners as to the future. In speak
ing of his trip, Mr.. Wilkinson said:
AT Goldyke the Nevada Chief
property, the scene of the latest
strike, is making a good showing. In
the west drift on the 20O-foot level,
the owners have opened up eight feet
of good milling ore, with occasional
lunches of high grade rock. The
vein is on an andesite and rhyolite
contact, which gives it good promise
with depth. The n are stopping
and drifting.
AT Pactolus, Long and Jones are
working a good showing which has
already produced considerable ship
ping ore. In the Athens district,
Frank Cavanah is operating the Nc
Namara-Millet property. He pur-
chased a Tetrault two-stamp mill
some time ago and is now installing
another in his reduction plant about
four and a half miles from the
mine, where there is ample water.
Cayanah is euuipping the property
with a fifteen horsepower hoist.
which will be placed in commission.
At Orizaba, P. V. Rovianek has re-
sumed shipments from his property
and has about 1000 sacks of good
ore on the dump.

BIG BODY OF ORE
ON THE DAVENPORT

Though not fully confirmed there
is every evidence to believe that a
strike of considerable importance has
been made on the Davenport prop
erty, adjoining the Ajax, in Bruins
wick canyon. So far as can be
learned trenching has been done on
a big ledge recently discovered lear
the surface on m of the claims and
in sinking on this to a depth of
seven feet and prosecuting the
ledge in various places a width of
eighteen feet of ore, carrying a high
percentage of copper and moderate
values in gold. has been determined.
The property is owned by local
people and they are so elated over
the prospects of the find that they
will very shortly increase the work
ing force at the mine.-Appeal.

GOOD HEADWAY BEING
MADE AT THE VERNAI

Although attended by routine re-
suits, operations at the property of
the Vernal Mining company in the
Diamondfield section of the GOldfield
district continue to make excellent
Roadway under the supervision of
General Superintendent Walter S.
Norris. The south drift on the vein
on the 2O0-foot level is being stead
lily advanced and Superintendent
Norris is hopeful of encountering
within the next twenty feet of work
the downward extension of the rich
shoot of ore that was opened up
with a winze to a depth of &C feet
below the 1O0-foOt level last fall.

a year still ahead, we therefore have
no anxiety about being able to pay
for the Velvet. Beside, according
to the terms of the option, the pur-
chase price is to come out of the
ground and from such money as we
have on hand. The Jumbo Extension
company is not obligated further.
1.-The resignation of Mr.. Thomas
Lockhart as a director of the Jumbo
Extension Mining company has been
received, he having sold his holdings
of nearly 100000 shares to the
Charles S. Sprague company some
weeks ago. At the directors meet
ing Thursday, his resignation was ac-
cepted and John F. Kuntz. an at
torney-at-law of Goldfield was elect
ed to fill the vacancy"

STRIKE IN FLORENCE

the ore purchasing company when it
was delivered to it gave an average
value of $65S a ton Since that par
ticular shipment was made, Superin-
tendent Clapp has made no effort to
sack the picture ore but instead has
been including it with the five feet
of rock being mined from the o
wall side of the vein.
Since the disclosure of the ore
body, about forty feet north of the
shaft between the $50 and 1O0-foot
levels, it has been explored for a
length of about fifteen feet in the
branch raise. From the 15O-foot
level drift a new raise has been
started about twenty feet from the
shaft to get under the orebody. The
upward extension of the orebOdy
has been proven on the 100 and so
foot levels by a small amoutn OF
work in the main north drifts on
those levels, which Rugged the hang
ing wall sides of the vein when orig
inally run, thus missing by a small
margin the rich rock on the footwall
side. On the 100-fOOt level there
is exposed two feet of ore that as
says 1880 a ton, in addition to an
unknown width of rock OF lesser
value. The exploratory work done
on the orebody on the 5O-foot level
thus far has already revealed from
twelve to fourteen inches of 5000
ore. Further work, however, is re-
quired to definitely determine the
extent of the orebody on the two lev
els. On the dip of the vein the ex-
~ploratory work on the three levels
has proven the continuity of the rich
orebody for a length, up and down,
of more than 100 feet.
In the main north drift on the $50
foot level, a new raise has been start
ed on four feet of $50 ore. This
raise is designed primarily to afford
an economical means of mining about
four feet of ore exposed for a length
of from 200 to 500 feet in the floor
of the main north drift on the level
above or 2O0-foot level.
From the main north drift on the
35O-foot level, a drift has been start
ed on a spur of the main vein on
six feet of ore that assays from $12
to $40 a ton. On the same level a
new crosscut has been started east
to intercept the downward extension
of the orebody which was revealed
on the 1OO-foot level of the old Won
Polenz lease workings. 1t is calcu-
lated that only about IS feet of work
will be required to reach the object
i've point. On the 53O-foot level. a
southwest crosscut has been started
from the main south drift to catch
the downward extension of the ia
NOUS orebody of the old Little Flor
ence lease, which produced $685.

MERGER TO RESUME WORK

been more for the benefit OF It's
the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines company and the Atlanta
Mines then for itself. 1t
is now proposed to begin the sys-
tematic prospecting of the Merger
ground. which has not been done up
to this time.
The work on the Merger territory
has been the sinking of the SHAFT to
a depth of 1850 feet and the running
of a crosscut at a depth OF 1879
feet TO connect with the Grizzly
Bear workings of the Goldfeld o
solidated Mines company and a
crosscut at the 175O-foot point to the
Atlanta ground.
THE next thirty or sixty days VIII
be devoted to preliminary prospect
ing, with a view to determining the
hearing of the orebody revealed at
depth in the Atlanta as to its con-
tinuity into the Merger ground. rms
work will probably be in the shape
of a winze in the long Atlanta cross
cut. within the boundaries OF our
ground, and the results obtained Will
determine whether or not the smart
will be sunk deeper. The significance
of the Atlanta strike is that, If the
orebody continues into the Merger
ground, the Merger shaft and the
crosscut to the Atlanta are above
it. Our work will, of curse deter
mine that point definitely. So far
as present indications are concerned,
everything tends to show that the
sinking of a winze in the Atlanta
crosscut or the resumption of sink
ing operations in the shaft will re,
veal the new orebody within an ad-
ditional depth of ESQ feet.
THE strike in the Atlanta, con-
sidering the depth at which it was
made and the character of the ore,
carrying, as it does. a high percent
-ge of copper, tends to bear out the
prediction of Senator w. A. Clark
of Montana, upon the occasion of his
second visit here five years ago, that
Goldfeld is destined to become a
second Butte. From the nature of
the ore, the probable size of the
strike. as disclosed by the develop,
ment work. and it's depth. it's value
to Goldfield and it's future as a big
and prosperous mining camp can
hardly be estimated. No strike that
has ever been made in Goldfield has
been of greater Importance. 1t is
certainly encouraging from a rail-
road standpoint and to the interests
of the people | represent, as it should
be to everyone who is interested in
Goldfield and it's future. 1t should
mean in time. a year or two. If pres
ent indications are borne out-a
smelter and an immediate increased
population. At no time in its his
tory has the future of Goldfield been
as bright as it is today.

TONOPAH Man TO
MANAGE A MINE
A. ID. COX WILL SUPERINTEND
FUTURE WORK ON NEVADA
PACKARD
Special to News and Tribune.

y W
Rochester, March ga. d. Cox
of Tonopah, formerly a member of
the engineer staff of the Tonopah
Belmont, has arrived here to take
charge of development work on the
Nevada Packard mine. Mr.. Cox rep
resents the G.. S. Johnson company
of San Francisco, which has under
taken financing of the development
of the Packard and equipping it with
a mill. The Packard is about two
miles south of the Mcneil hill mines
and on the same big ledge.
The value of the property was not
known until last summer when r.
l.. Ray, who had a bond on the four
claims comprising the group, discov-
ered hat the ground was literally
covered with rich silver float. The
ore had become so badly weathered
that the metal failed to show until
the boulders were broken open. Ray,
Mark Walser and Frank M~argrave,
all we'll known Nevadans, took up
the bond and started to sack and
ship the float. The ledge was un-
covered with scrapers and a pillow
and proved to be 500 feet in width.
Three veins have been located and
lessees and the company have ship
ped $4,000 worth of ore.
Mr.. Cox has not yet determined
his plan of development. The lessees
are working on the middle vein,
which is Is to 20 feet in width and
which has been opened up in four
places covering a length of 1900 to
400 feet. The company workings
consist of a shaft so feet deep, sunk
on a vein that appears to be a spur
from the middle vein. 1t is expected
that the junction of the two veins
will be found to he highly enriched.
One carload of ore brought $71.0O
per ton and the average value of the
% carloads was $51. Mr.. Cox takes
charge April LIST and is spending the
intervening time studying the forma-
ton and vein system.

foot level of the Poleverde workings
there is exposed four feet of ore that
has been averaging from $3.50 to
$70.63 a ton, as broken down. Six
feet of ore that assays $3.50 a ton
has beer exposed by a short cross
cut into the Velvet claim from the
top of a 5O-foot raise above an old
drift on the 921-foot level of the
Poleverde workings. While this
showing is only about fifty feet
higher vertically than the northeast
drift into the Velvet claim on the
921-foot level, the two points are
1O4 feet distant from each other on
the dip of the vein.
Silver Pick Con.
At the property of the Silver Pick
Consolidated Mining company Thurs
day hand steel was laid aside and
two PA inch piston machine drills
were placed into commission in its
stead in the development work. With
the installation of the air drills, the
company is now prepared to prose
cute the exploration on the 50O-foot
or bottom level of the big quartz
vein revealed upon an extensive scale.
GOldfield Gro
There is justification for the pre-
diction that developments of import
ance are due to occur any day in
the shaft of the Goldfield Orc. Dur
ing the last week, the shaft passed
through a 15-foot body of quartz
and is again revealing andesite. The
disclosure of this body of quartz is
in keeping with developments in
other nearbwy properties preceding
the discovery of pay ore at depth.

the stockholders of the two COM
panies to the deal.
'As the Velvet claim is remote
from the Merger shaft or any pres
ent development work and is so close
to the workings of the Jumbo Ex-
tension, such a deal was considered
advantageous to both companies. AS
the owner of 171,OOO shares of Jum-
DO Extension stock, the Merger will
have a sufficient interest to entitle
it to a voice in the management and
operation of the Jumbo Extension.
While l consider the sale of the
Velvet claim an advantage to the
Merger for the reason it will supply
funds to continue development work,
yet it is of more importance to the
Jumbo Extension as, with it's in.
creased territory, it's status as a pro-
ducing mine and a probable payer of
dividends in the near future is fixed"
Vice-President Sprague of the
Jumbo Extension issued the follow
ing statement relative to the deal:
The Jumbo Extension deal for
the Velvet claim of the Goldfield
Merger Mines company vas consum-
mated Friday night, both director
ates having ratified the transaction
and the first payment made.
The Jumbo Extension gives $10,-
600 for a sixty-day option on the
Velvet claim, with the right to en-
ter on the ground, prospect same and
retain all ore taken out in operations.
At the end of sixty days, if the Jum-
DO Extension wishes to exercise the
option. it is to pay $4,000 and then

GRAVEL ROAD OIL
TO CREATE BREAK

Commissioners Declare Oil
Injuries Gravel Highways
in Opposition to County
Superintendent.

A disagreement between the county
commissioners and Superintendent OF
Highways Jones Is imminent when the
road superintendent asks for an oiler
to oil gravel and macadam roads in
the spring.
Commissioners Anderson. Doddridge
and Linderman have announced that
they object to oiling gravel roads
They say that experiments made in
this county on gravel roads have
shown that the roads will not stand
as much winter and early spring wear
if they are oiled.
Each of the commissioners takes
the same stand, declaring himself ia.
vorable to the oiling Of macadam roads
of the county as planned by Mr.. Jones
but opposed to the oiling of gravel
roads.
Mr.. Jones says that no opportunity
has ever been presented to make the
test in the manner in which he will
make it. He expects to have the roads
In condition to take the oil and re-
tain it in the winter without being
affected by the spring thaws.
The road superintendent probably
will experience no difficulty in having
the commissioners approve his plan to
buy an auto truck and a stone crusher
These and the oiler will cost about
$500. Mr.. Jones says that with a
stone crusher he can build macadam
roads as good as any constructed un.
der contract at $4,000 mile for a
cost estimated at less than $4,000
The Auto truck will be used to
transport from twelve to fifteen pris
oners daily to the seat of operations
Mr.. Jones will not build shed in
