COMING TO FRONT
INCREASING VALUES BEING Oh
TANNED IN 5OO-FOOT LEVEL
DRIFT

Results being obtained and condi-
tions prevailing indicate that the
property of the Goldfield Orc Min
ing company will come to the front
in the immediate future with a dis
covery of vast importance. For some
time past the property has been
steadily improving in physical ap-
pearance. and Manager Thomas F..
Manning is more optimistic at pres
ent as to it's future than at any
time since its development has been
in progress.
Recently the work of cutting a
large station at the S10-foot point
in the S25-foot shaft was completed
and drifting north and south In the
big vein was begun. The north
drift is out twenty feet and the south
drift twenty-five feet from the sta
tion. In both of them small values
have been obtained from a notable
improvement during the last day or
two in the north drift. In it the
quartz is becoming more solid and
yielding increasing values.

That the properties of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company are
splendidly maintaining themselves Is
clearly indicated by the preliminary
estimate of it's production and earn
ings for the month of May, just made
public by A. H. Howe, secretary and
treasurer. 1t shows that during last
month the mill handled 30,2O9 tons
of ore, an increase of approximately
1000 over April. The gross extrac-
tion amounted to $4,000, while the
operating expenses totalled $175,OOO,
leaving net profits og $152,OOO.
Jumbo Extension
The excellent condition of the
Jumbo Extension mine is reflected In
a report which the company is at
present mailing out to its stockhold-
ers, accompanied by the call for It's
annual meeting which will be held IN
Phoenix, Arizona, Monday, July 10.
II will be the tlrst annual session OF
the company held for two years, the
former management being unable a
wear ago to get a representation OF
the outstanding stock, either In per-
son or by proxy. The annual re-
ports of the various officials OF the
company will be submitted to the
stockholders at the annual session
and officers for the ensuing year Will
be chosen.
According to the report of Vice
President Sprague being mailed TO
stockholders, there is blocked out In
the mine at present nearly a years

ing the last five months totalled

MAINTAINS ITS
USUAL OUTPUT
FLORENCE NINE CONTINUES TO
GIVE EXCELLENT ACCOUNT
OF ITSELF

Although routine developments
have been the rule during the week,
the Florence mine continues to give
splendid account of itself in the
production of ore. The output re-
NAMED normal, and there is every
reason to believe that its production
this month will equal that of last
month, which totaled seventeen So
ton carload shipments to the Millers'
sampler of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company.
General superintendent Harry b
Clapp continues to obtain an excel
lent tonnage of good ore from the
hanging wall streak of the main
Florence vein in an old stope above
the main south drift on the 100-foot
level. The footwall portion of the
vein in the same stope yielded a
great tonnage cf rich ore in the early
history OF the mine. The "fill of
waste roci placed in the stope several
years ago vas recently removed to
make accessible the ore that is now
being extracted from the hanging
wall portion of the vein. The ore
measures about four feet in width
and is yielding values of from SIS to
$40 ton. at9

production during that month was
low as result of operations being
largely devoted to the development of
the Velvet claim, no stopping being
done and there being no attempt at
production. Manager Turner's report
shows that during April, the mine
produced 1431.1S tons of ore of an
average value of $22 ton, which
was extracted at total cost of 49,
1885. The total output was made
up of 1169.38 tons of ore OF an aver
age value of $12.141s per ton, which
was concentrated at the company's S
mill at Bonnie Glare, and 2G1.S tons
of shipping grade ore which was sold
to the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany.

during the last week have been of a
routine nature. However, it con-

ings. 1t is safe to predict that the
production this month will equal that
of last month, which tOtaled ap-
proximately $50 tons. The hanging
wall streak of the main Florence
vein is yielding pleasing tonnage
of good ore, which has an average
width of four feet and gives assays
of from SIS to y2O ton. More than

500 to $50 ton, is being mined

Grading for the foundations of the
hoist house and other buildings on
the property of the Dexter-White
CAPS Mining company at Manhattan,
incident to extensive development
work on company account, has been
completed. The gallOws frame, re-
Gently purchased in Tonopah, is ex-
pected to arrive on the ground soon,
and the installation of the hoisting
plant will be completed in the near
future. The grading work revealed
a well-defined ledge which gives
good assays and promise of develop
ing into an important ore body. A
force of twelve miners is at present
employed at the property.
1t is estimated that the Bath lease
on the property of the Litigation
Hill Merger Mining company has at
present on it's dump fifty tons of ore
that will average $45 a ton. Work
in the lease is being largely confin-
ed to a rich streak of ore recently ex-
posed in the footwall portion OF the
vein in old workings on the 4OO-foot
level. On the surface about forty
feet west Of the lease working shaft,
a sixteen-inch streak of $50 ore has
been exposed.
Excellent headway is being made
in the development work in the prop
erty of the Manhattan Consolidated
Mines company with the two shifts
of miners employed. Operations are
being confined to advancing the west
drift on the 200-foot level to reach
the extension of the Kendall ore
shoot developed to a depth of $50
feet in the Silver Pick claim.

MINE
LOOKING GOOD
MILL INCREASES IT'S TONNAGE
AND EXTRACTION OF
VALUES

w. ]. Tobin, president and general
manager Of the Pioneer Consolidated
Mines company, operating in the Pi-
oneer district, who arrived in Gold
field from the property several days
ago, went to Tonopah yesterday for
a several days business trip. Speak
ing of conditions at his property, Mr..
Tobin said:
"The mine is at present in a bet
ter condition than 1t has been for
three years and the outlook of the
company is exceedingly promising.
The latest development is the expos
ure by a raise above the northwest
drift on the 265-foot level of a large
ore body, which we are now stopping.
We have not yet determined wheth-
er the find is a new vein or an ore
shoot in the main ledge. AS yet we
have not connected it up with the
old ledge, and it may prove to be
an entirely new ledge. The explora-
ton of the new ore body is proving
it to be of mammoth proportions.
The two faces of the stope upon 1t
are 100 feet apart and the ore in
each shows a width of thirty feet
between walls, giving average values
of 81 ton.
In our mill we recently compiet-
ed the installation of Huntington
mill for regrinding purposes, and as
result the plant is treating great
'er tonnage of ore and making bet
ter saving of values. Formerly we
were only able to treat thirty tons OF
ore in twenty-four hours. using a
thirty-mesh screen at the battery.
Since the installation of the Hunting
ton mill we have been operating the
mill only sixteen hours a day and are
treating from forty to fifty tons OF
ore in that period of time. In the
battery we are now crushing the ore

the property about two months ago,
but it was not exercised. At that
