of $40 ore. In the future the out
put of this stope will be mixed with
the higher grade ores in order that
the shipments may be graded down
to about $50 per ton. which will
carry smaller transportation and re-
duction charges. The shipments are
averaging two carloads daily, which
rate can be easily maintained.
Engineer j. X. Turner states that
preparations are being made to re-
sumo the extension of the east cross
cut on the 1017-foot level beyond
the point from which vertical raise
503-C was put up. 1t is the inten-
ton to advance the crosscut an ad-
ditional sixty feet and raise again to
the vein. This raise will go up in
the Velvet claim at a point approx
mately $50 feet from the eastern
line of the Poleverde claim. AS the
vein was revealed at heights Of IS

Following his inspection of the
mine Wednesday afternoon. E. C.
Davies, a well-known mining man or
Salt Lake City, who has been In
camp several days familiarizing him
self with local conditions, said:
1.-THE ore showing in the Velvet
claim certainly looks big to me.
With Consulting Engineer Turner l
inspected the drifts and air raise be-
ing extended from the top OF the
vertical raise above the 1017-foot
level, as we'll as the workings in h
ore body on the levels Immediately
above, and I have no hesitancy n
saying that I believe the Velvet has
the making of a big mine. Through
the courtesy of Vice president
Charles s. Sprague I was permitted
to see all the assay sheets OF the
company. The thing that impressed
me greatly was the fact that, in ad-
dition to the high gold values, the
ore carries cope and silver, which
shows permanency beyond the slight
est doubt.
''The entire mining world is talk
ing Goldfeld, which fact explains
my presence in camp. have been
here nearly a week and have seen
for myself. There is no ~gainsaying
the fact that the rejuvenation or
'come-back'fo of Goldfeld is an ac-
complished fact. Notwithstanding
the fabulous production and wild ex-
element of six to ten years ago,
there is every reason to believe that
the creates fame of Goldfield lies in
the future. 1t is pleasing to note
+, the large number of companies that
have resumed operations or are pre-
pairing to resume the development OF
their properties. A large number
of the properties upon which oper-
ations have been continued during
the late dull period of the camp
have excellent showings and are sus-
tanning the Jumbo Extension in at
tracing the attention of mining men
and investors to Goldfield. AS in
the early days, local operators n
mine managers welcome inspection
of their properties, and there is ev'
ery desire to permit interested par
ties to gain full knowledge OF exist
ing conditions, which are pleasing in
the extreme"
