FLORENCE
MAINTAINS
ITS OUTPUT
Has Shipped Approximately Six Hum
dred Tons of Ore Thus Far This
Month
STOPE ABOVE FIFTY-FOOT
LEVEL SHOWS UP WELL
Raising from North Drift on $50
Foot Level to Connect with
Lease Workings

With only little more than half the
month of June gone, the Florence
mine has shipped approximately 600
tons of ore to the Millers sampler of
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany. 1t is probable that the total
production of the month will be
about the same as during May, which
amounted to seventeen carloads, or
about 91S tons.
General Superintendent Harry B.
Clapp states that the mine continues
in excellent condition, although de-
velopments during the last week have
been of a routine character. A fair
tonnage of ore continues to be ex-
tracted from the stope on the ore
body revealed several months ago by
a branch raise from the main raise
above the main north drift on the
15O-foot level, in the Immediate vi
cinity of the shaft. The top of the
stope is now above the main north
drift on the 50-foot level and is
yielding about two and a half feet
of ore that will average from SIS to
$40 a ton.
Excellents results are being OBJ
tanned in stopping operations on the
Florence vein above the main drifts
on the 2OO-foot level north and south
of the shaft. In the north face OF
the stope six feet of $40 ore is be-
ing broken down, while the south
face is yielding about four feet
SIS ore On the 250-foot level,
north of the shaft in the old Baby
Florence territory, a raise has been
started from a drift on six to eight
inch streak of ore which yields as
says of from $40 to $500 ton.
Work has been temporarily suspend
ed in the east crosscut from the main
north drift on the 250-fOot level de-
signed to intercept the downward ex-
tension of the orebody developed to
depth of 100 feet in the old Won
Polenz lease In the main north
drift on the 53O-foot level, raise
has been started on three feet of low
grade quartz to connect with the
forty-foot winze below the 3SO-foot
level of the old Wheeler lease, from
which an excellent grade of ore was
mined in the early days of the camp.

pany and the acquisition of two five
ton auto trucks, which were placed
in commission on April 25, total Of
more than 10000 tons of ore has
been extracted from the gloryhole Of
the company's Reilly Fraction claim
and treated by the plant. While no
igures have been given out lately,
it is understood that the ore is well
maintaining it's grade and that an
excellent saving of values is being
made by the mill.
The Manhattan Milling & Ore
con pany is at present engaged in
treating ore from the old Briggs
Evans lease on the north end of the
Union Nine claim of the Manhattan
Dexter Mining company. The pres
ent operators of the lease have plac-
ed on the dump more than 900 tons
of ore which is estimated to aver
age about $40 ten.
The work of installing a grizzly at
the bottom of the 200-foot glory hole

preparations to increase their opera

ore body, which has already proven
Tnuch larger than originally suppos-
ed Thus far the values of the new
ore have exceeded IS ton.

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

perintendent Harry B. Clapp being
authority for the statement that
thus far approximately COO tons have
been despatched to the Millers' sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company. The above figures furnish
ample evidence of the excellent con-
ditions prevailing in the mine. A
fair tonnage of ore is being yielded
by the stope above the main north
drift on the fifty-foot level on the
Orebody originally revealed several
months ago by branch raise off the
main raise above the main north
drift on the 150-foot level in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the shaft. The
top of the stOpe is exposing two and
half feet of SIS to $40 ore The
slopes on the hanging wall section
of the Florence vein above the 200
foot level north and south of the
shaft are producing an excellent ton
mage. In the south face of the stope
there is four feet of SIS ore while
six feet of $40 rock is being broken
down from the north face. From
drift on the 250-foot level, in the
old Baby Florence lease territory, a
raise has been started on six to
eight inches of ore that assays from
$40 to $500 ton. Superintendent
Clapp has temporarily abandoned
work in the east crOsscut from the

LESSEE SHIPS
CARLOAD OF ORE
ASSAYS OF HORNSILVER CON-
SIGNMENT YIELD HIGH
RETURNS

That Hornsilver will yet prove a
great camp is the opinion of ]. w.
Crane, who recently made rich
strike on the property of the Gold
Mountain Mining & Milling company
in that district, which he is operating
under a lease. Mr.. Crane has just
shipped carload of high-grade ore
to Salt Lake smelter. Assays from
sample taken from the shipment
yielded 5A ounces in gold and 11.3
ounces in silver.
81 have operated in and around
Hornsilver since the spring of 1906"
Mr.. Crane said, "and / have never
lost confidence in the future of the
camp In fact, the more have oper-
ated around the camp the more faith
have that the district presents
greater possibilities than any other
camp in Nevada outside of Goldfield
or Tonopah. I confidently believe
that with proper development it will
prove to be a second Tonopah.
81 took over lease of the Gold
Mountain property after having it
examined separately by two mining
engineers who stand high in their
profession. Their reports coincided
very closely, considering the amount
Of underground work that was neces-
sary to investigate. They both re-
ported that there is from 10000 to
10000 tons of ore in the 1900 feet
of underground work that assays
from $40 to $21 ton. While en-
gagged in doing the work under my
leasing contract, l have actively pros

DRIFTING ON 700 LEVEL
OF BLUE BULL PROPERTY

At the Blue Bull, good progress is
ho;np made in drifting north from
the east crosscut on the 70o-foot
level on the vein revealed several
weeks ago. Values were obtained IN
the same vein on the 500-foot level
some time ago and it is for the pur-
pose of catching the downward ex-
tension of the orebody that the drift
is being advanced on the 7OO-foot
level. At the point intercepted on
the deeper level, the four-foot vein
carried no values. Crosscutting west
also continues on the 700-foot level.

vein extensively explored on the 270
and 50O-foot levels of the property
was none other than the northern ex-
tension of the Combination mine
main ledge. Recent developments
tend to show that the theory Is cor
rect. A raise on the ore body above
the 5O0-foot level drift will be start
ed in the near future to connect with
the south drift on the same vein on
the 270-fOOt level

CROPS FOR CANNING.

article on tho establishment of can.

primarily upon the conditions of eli.
mate, soil, markets, and the like.
Growers should be advised to plant only
such varieties as can be handled by the
association commercially. For in.
stance, the Magoon strawberry is an ex.
cellent fruit for home use and for a 10.
cal market but is too soft to be shipped
to any distance and is Of very little
value as canning berry, owing to the
fact that ii becomes SO mshy in the

uniform pack Of beans il each farmer
brings in any variety he chooses to
grow The best way to secure quality
and uniformity in the pack is for the
association either to buy seeds and
plants for the grower or specify what
varieties shall be bought 1t is usually
better for the association to do the pur.
chasing, because it can get better prices
by buying in large lots.
The kind and the varieties of fruits
and vegetables should be determined
upon before the machinery for canning
is installed, because IL would do no good
to install expensive bean cutting or
cherry pitting machinery, unless beans
and cherries could be grown to advan.
tago in that community, and IL would
entail large unnecessary expense. An.
