NEARING GOAL
SUMP CROSSCUT NEAR SHAFT
BOTTOM Is ABOUT COM
PLETED.

The west crosscut which the Gold
field Orc Mining company is cutting
for the storage of water five feet
above the bottom of it's S25-foot
shaft is nearing completion. The
management will soon begin cutting
a station at the S10-foot point in the
shaft, from which the big vein re-
vealed will be explored north and
south.
The dimensions of the mineral
zone disclosed in the sinking of the
Orc shaft can only be estimated.
From the 735 to the S10-foot points,
the shaft passed through ledge mat
ter of excellent appearance, carrying
some values. This no doubt is the
main ore channel of the district.
From the 535 to the 1875 foot points,
the formation, as revealed by the
shaft, is greatly crushed and the
greater part of it is heavily oxidized.
This crushed zone dips into the shaft
from the northeast, while the min
eral zone below cuts athwart it from
the southwest.
These two zones give vertical
area of 275 feet, where the forma-
tions have been greatly fractured and
crushed, through which the mineral
solutions that enriched the district
were undoubtedly favored with ave-
nues for circulation. That somewhere
in the zones a precipitation OF values
must have occurred is certain, pro-
ducing one of those shoots of ore for
which the district is now famous. The
Goldfield Orc Mining company is,
therefore, nearer the goal at pres
int than at any previous time in its
operations and the exploration OF
the ore channel will be watched with
the keenest interest by those con-
versant with the potentialitits of the
Orc company. AS stated above, the
ORC shaft has total depth of S25
feet. 1t has stations at the 200

TO START SLOPES
IN VELVET CLAIM
JUMBO EXTENSION WILL SOON
INACCURATE SUCH OPER-
ATOMS

Having recently paid the second
installment. amounting to 100000,
to the Goldield Merger Mines COM
pany on the purchase price of the
Velvet claim, the management of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company is
making preparations for the in
auguration of stopping operations on
the orebodies opened up in the new
ly acquired territory by the north
east drift from the 921-foot level
workings of the Poleverda claim and
the east drift from the top of the 30
foot raise above the same level. On
the dip of the vein, these two drifts
are 10i feet apart. The former drift
is now about 215 feet and the latter
40 feet into the Velvet ground from
the line of the Poleverda claim.
In the 921foot level northeast
drift, at a point about forty feet from
the line of the Poleverda claim, Il
crosscut north has been started 1t
will be driven distance of about
thirty feet into the shale footwall.
When completed, raise will be put
up to the vein preliminary to the
Stopping of the ore. 1t is calculated
that it will only be necessary to
raise about twenty feet above the
new crosscut to tap the vein. In the
east drift from the top of the 50-foot
raise above the 921-foot level, new
raise has been started in the Velvet
ground on four feet of mill ore
When this new raise has assumed
such proportions as to permit stopping
will be started.
In the upper portion of the big
stope above the 921-foot level in the
POleverda claim, a west drift has
been advanced distance of sixty
feet and a raise has been started
from the end to permit of the eco
nOmical handling of a large tonnage
of shipping and milling ore exposed
high up in the stope Immediately be-
meath the S00-foot level 1t is cal
culated that it will be necessary to
raise only twenty feet from the drift
level to tap this orebody, which has
width of six feet, two feet of which
is SIS ore.
By small amount of work the
97-foot raise above the east crOsscut
from the main southeast crosscut on
the 101 7-fOOt level has been connect
ed with the main south drift on the
921-foOt level near the line of the
Velvet claim. This connection was
made few days ago and has greatly
improved the air of both levels. Just
beneath the 921-foot level drifts are
being advanced in the Poleverda
claim north and south from the short
southeast crosscut from the raise

WORK RESUMED
ON C.0.D.,'LEASE
WILL SHIP ORE TO SAMPLER
AT MILLERS IN
FUTURE

After suspension of two weeks,
due to the breaking of the drive rod
on the air compressor which operates
the machine drills, operations have
been resumed in the Victor claim of
the G. o. ID. Consolidated Mining
company by the Nevada Cooperative
Mining company, which is developing
it under long time lease Drifting
lis again in progress to the south on
two feet of $50 ore from the east
crOsscut on the 160-foot level
During the two weeks prior to the
temporary suspension of operations,
the lease shipped to the mill of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company at
Bonnie Clare 2S9 tons of ore that
yielded average returns of $11 a ton.
AS the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany is now using all of the fifteen
available stamps of the Bonnie Clare
plant, instead of ten, as in the past,
the lessees on the C. o. ID. ground
are confronted with the necessity of
securing the treatment of their ore
elsewhere; therefore. in the future
the pay rock extracted will be screen
ed to improve the grade and the
screenings shipped to the Miilers
plant of the Western Ore Purchasing
company.

JUMBO EX. MAKES
GOOD SHOWING
FINAL REPORT OF EARNINGS IN
MARCH Is MADE
PUBLIC.

The final report of the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company of it's pro-
duction during the month of March
and preliminary estimate of it's earn
ing for April were made public yes
terday by Vice President Charles S.
Sprague.
In March the mine shipped fifteen
carloads of ore to the Millers' sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company that yielded a profit of
$24,441.39. Mill ore shipped to the
Bonnie Glare mill netted two car
loads of concentrates of total value
of $S,747.S1, giving the output of the
mine a total value of $33, 1920.
which is about $500 above the pre-
liminary estimate announced about
April /. Operating expenses, which
included the cost of the erection of
two orebins of a combined capacity
of $50 tons, amounted to $10,S51.67,
leaving net profit of $22,337.5S for
the month. The net returns for April,
it is estimated, will amount to from
$4,000 to $4,000. Settlement for
all ore shipped last month will not
be received by the company for sew
eral days.
Commenting upon the estimate of
the April earnings, as compared with
the net profits for March, Vice Presi-
dent Sprague said:
"A comparison of the sfigures
shows a decline in profits FOR the
month of April. This is explained by
the fact that during last moath only
ore extracted in development work,
mostly in drifting on the otebodies
opened up in the newly acquitted Vel
vet claim, was shipped from the
mine. No Stopping operations were
prosecuted. Under the terms OF our
deal with the Goldfield Merger Mines
company covering the sale to us OF
it's Velvet claim, we were permitted
only to drift, crosscut and raise in
| the new territory until the second

In view of the excellent showing
of ore on the 100 and 2OO-foot
levels, the management of the Dex-
ter White Caps Mining company has
decided to sink the main shaft on its
property in the Manhattan district an
additional 100 feet and explore what
is known as the east and west ore
bodies fully. According to the an
nual report of the company recently
issued, the property produced 12,OO4
tons of ore from 1911 to 1913 in
elusive The tonnage on the dump
is estimated at $500 tons of the aver
age value of $14.35 per ton stand
ing in the mine between the second
or 2OO-foot level and the surface.
The annual report of the company
contains the following summary by
the superintendent as to conditions
in the property:
"That there are three well-de-
fined Orebodies in the mine; that the

NEW DRIFT IN
THE SILVER PICK
BEING RUN SOUTH ALONG FOOT
WALL ON THE BIG
VEIN.

The exploration on the 500-foot
level of the property of the Silver
Pick Consolidated Mines company of
the massive vein first revealed at a
depth of 396 feet in the shaft is now
being prosecuted upon a scale unpre-
cedented in the past. Although there
has been no Improvement in values
obtained, the various workings in
the vein are showing up well and
there is every reason to believe that
discovery of Importance will be
made ere long.
The face OF the north drift along
the footwall of the vein. which was
revealed 20 feet west OF the shaft,
is now more than 115 feet from the
crosscut and is all in quartz. A
drift south along the footwall was
started several days ago. Drifting
south has been resumed along the
hanging wall of the vein which was
disclosed by the east crosscut 63
feet from the shaft. Between the
two walls, the vein, as exposed by
the east and west crosscuts, shows a
width of 1873 feet.
The east crosscut is being contin-
ued and its face is now more than
1876 feet from the shaft. Work in it
is being continued with a view to
intercepting the downward extension
of vein which on the 260-foot level
was six feet wide and gave average
values of $40 a ton. superintendent
Walter S. Norris estimates that the
crosscut will reach it's objective point
within the next 70 feet. The pumps
at the property are now being oper-
ated nine hours daily and are hand
ling 10000 gallons of water.

MANHATTAN COMPANY Will SINK
ITS SHAFT TO A greater Depth

that has been explored several hun
dred feet further west in the Silver
Pick claim of the same company.
Returns averaging $40 a ton were
obtained recently by the owners of
the Bath lease on Union No. 2 claim
of the Litigation Hill Merger Min
ing company from a trial run of
twenty tons of ore in the Mushett-
vious contracts the MushettWitten-
berg mill will be unable to treat any
more of the Bath lease ore in the
immediate future; therefore, the
lessees have arranged with the man
agement of the Rogers mill for the
treatment of 80 tons of ore which
is ready for shipment from the prop
erty The tailings from this run of
ore will be impOunded and treated at
some later date when one of the
mills with a cyanide equipment can
handle them.
Placer operations on the northern
slope of Litigation hill are making
good headway, it is reported. With
an elevator for the hosting Of gravel
into the sluice boxes and a centri-
fugal pump returning the water from
the big pond at the base of the hill,
considerable yardage will be handled
when the work gets under way.
The twenty-stamp mill of the Com
mercial Mines and Milling company
is being kept we'll supplied with ore
from the glory hole on the Reilly
Fraction. Two auto trucks are
hauling about $50 tons of ore daily
from the glory hole to the mill and
the management is well pleased
with it's work thus far. The trucks
are equipped with pneumatic
dumping device, operated by the
motor To make the round trop from
the gloryhole to the mill, the trucks
consume about one gallon of gaso-
line.

Figures contained in the final re-
ports for March and preliminary estl-
mates for April, recently issued by
the three foremost local companies,
make it evident that the Goldfield
district has today more promising
future than at any time in its entire
history. The reports show that the
mines are splendidly maintaining
themselves in the output of ore and
assure continuance of the improve
ment in the conditions that have been
attracting renewed attention to the
district in a degree more marked
than at any time since the boom
days of the camp. The splendid
showing made by the producing
mines is being supplemented in a
most convincing manner by the re-
suits attained in the exploration
work, particularly at depth, at va
rious points throughout the district.
Goldfield Consolidated
A. H. Howe, secretary and treas
urer of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company, has just made pub
lie the preliminary estimate OF the
production and earnings Of that cor
poration in April. 1t shows that the
various mines of the company pro-
duced 2S,215 tons of ore, from when
a gross extraction of 1874 1000 was
made. The operating expenses
amounted to $171,000, leaving net
profits of $155, 900, which were ap-
proximately the same as during the
previous month of March.
Jumbo Extension
Vice President Charles S. Sprague
made public Thursday the final re-
mort of the production of the Jumbo
Extension company for March and
the preliminary estimate OF earnings
in April simultaneously. In March
the gross profits amounted to S33,-
1920 and the operating expenses
S1O.S51.G7, leaving net prohts OF
,$22,3375 The net profits for April
according to the estimate of vice
President Sprague, will exceed $751;
600. The decline in the April prohts,
as compared with those of March, is
explained by the fact that shipments
from the mine during the last month
were made up entirely from ore ex-
tracted in development work, mostly
in the newly acquired Velvet claim,
no stopping operations having been
prosecuted. The Jumbo Extension
management recently paid the Gold
field Merger Mines company the sec
,ond installment, amounting to $780,
900, on the purchase price of the Vel
vet claim, and. under the terms of
the deal, the former is now permitted
to proceed with the stopping of the
orebodies in the new territory.

the work of raising the downward
extension of the Orebody exposed in
the winze will be revealed. In the
shaking of the winze, three carloads
of excellent ore was extracted last
fall. The air in the 20O-fOot level
drift is exceedingly bad; consequent
ly. the work advances very slowly.

CROSSCUTTING
EAST ON 3OO-FOOT Level

To intercept the downward exten-
sion of a Oig vein that outcrops on
the surface, crosscutting is being
vigorously prosecuted to the east on
the 3OO-foot level of the property OF
the Tallmage Mines company on Vim
dicator Mountain. The crosscut is
now more than so feet in length and
Manager Hayes believes it will soon
reach the objective point. Drifts
north and south on the Robertson
vein are in progress on the 200-foot
level on full faces of $12 ore.
