The workings on the deep levels
of the Velvet territory of the Jumbo
Extension mine seem to be vieing
with each other in the disclosure Of
high-grade ore. No fewer than four
faces are exposing from five to six
500 to 5000 per ton. Picked sam
pies have given assays of more than
$1,000 per ton and show an abund-
ance of sulphide of bismuth. A
sample taken from across eighteen
inches on the footwaIl of the vein at
one point gave an assay value of
$799.35 per ton. In short, the Jum-
bO Extension mine has truly re-
markable showing, and there is ev-
cry condition present to indicate that
the company is just now entering
upon the most productive period of
it's entire career.
According to General Manager ].
X Turner, the estimated net earn
ings of the company for September
will total 100000. The total pro-
duction last month amounted to
1875 tons Shipments to the smelt-
ers through the Millers plant of the
Western Ore Purchasing company
amounted to $50 tons. and 725 tons
of mill grade rock was sent to the
mill of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. Since the vast i'm
provement in the ore showing in
the Velvet ground, the smelter ship
ments have been averaging fifty tons
daily. In these shipments is includ-
ed all ore assaying above SIS a ton !;
all below that value is sent to the
Consolidated mill. The smelter
shipments are averaging in value
SIS per ton, the richer rock being
mixed with the lower grade ores for
economic reasons. including the
freight rates, which are based upon
the value per ton of the ore shipped.

PROPERTY

After a suspension of about three
months, the property OF the Yellow
Tiger Mining company is the scene
of considerable activity. The long
expected eight-drill air compressor,
four machine drills and 1000 feet of
four and d-a-half-inch air pipe,
which was purchased in Denver by
President H. A. Riedel, who makes
his headquarters there, has arrived
on the ground and preparations are
being made by General Manager
Charles d. Wilkinson for the imme-
diate resumption of operations on a
larger scale than ever before at
tempted.
The concrete foundation for the
compressor has been made and 1t is
being permitted to set. 1t is expect
ed that the compressor will be plac-
ed upon it within the next few days.
The work of installing the air col
umn in the shaft from the surface to
the 700-foot level is now in prog
ress. Unless unforeseen delays
arise. operations in the mine should
be under way within the next ten
days or two weeks.

its future. The steady improve

ploration progresses makes it clear

withstanding it's years, is still capa.
Bile of yielding high-grade ore in
volume; it has instilled new life into
the people generally of the district,
and there is no doubt that it will
have an important bearing upon the
future of the camp through the re-
newal of operations by many com
panies that have permitted their
holdings to remain dormant for sew
eral years.
AS the greatest Improvement
in the Velvet showing has occurred
during the last week, the prelimi-
nary estimate of the Jumbo Exten-
sion company of it's production and
earnings during the month of Sep
tember, just made public by Man
ager ]. X. Turner, reflects only in a
small degree the truly remarkable
conditions prevailing in the property.
According to the estimate, the Sep
tember net earnings, when final set
tlement is received from the smelt-
ers for ore shipped, will amount to
100000. The September produc-
tion totaled 1875 tons of ore: $50
tons were dispatched to the smelters
and 725 tons sent to the mill of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany. The smelter shipments dur
ing September, as at present, in
cluded all ore above SIS per ton in
value and the mill shipments all be-
low The shipments to the smelt-
ers. fifty tons daily and up of high
and low grade ores mixed together,
are yielding an average value of SIS
per ton. No attempt is being made
to make purely high-grade shipmente
for economic reasons, chief of which
are the railroad transportation rates
which are governed by the per ton
value of the ore.

the level named will insure volume
of water that will meet all demands.
Both of the shafts are at present
equipped with Is h. p. gasoline
hoists. 1t Is the intention of the
management to replace the equip
ment on the main or Black Butte
shaft with a dOuble-drum electric
hoist, as well as to install an eight
drill air compressor.
Superintendent Canavan estimates
that there is on the dumps and avail
able in the workings above the 100
foot level of the main or Black
Butte shaft 10000 tons of 81 ore
He calculates that by the installa-
ton of the new equipment named,
the erection of the mill on the
ground and the treatment OF the
available ore in it, the company will
not only be able to pay for all the
improvements planned but show a
net profit of $51 900 at the end of
period of fourteen months.
Since the resumption of opera
tions on the property several months
ago under the direction of Superin-
tendent Canavan, great headway has
been made and excellent results OBJ
tanned in the development work. On
the 10O-foot level of the main or
Black Butte shaft, the face OF the
southwest drift is now $50 feet

KEWANAS AGAIN
ON ACTIVE LIST
OPERATIONS ON 7OO-FOOT
LEVEL RESUMED AFTER
MONTHS SUSPENSION

After a suspension of one month,
due to the uncertainty of financial
conditions that prevailed for
period following the outbreak of the
war in Europe, operations at depth
in the territory of the Reorganized
Kewanas Mining company by way
of 700-foot level of the Laguna
shaft of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company have been resumed.
Under the direction of General
Manager A. /. Darcy the station
above the winze to be sunk, located
approximately 700 feet east OF the
LagGna shaft and 1870 feet from the
eastern boundary line of the Last
Chance claim of the Goldfield Con-
be completed soon. The sinking of
the winze will then begin with a
view to revealing the contact of the
latte and shale, along which all i'm
portant orebodies disclosed at great
depth in this district have been
found. Manager Darcy believes
that the objective point will be
reached in the winze by sinking $50
feet below the station, which will
give a vertical depth from the sur
face of $50 feet. A thirty-horse-
power electric hoist will be installed
for the sinking of the winze.
Future operations in the Kewanas
will be watched with keen interest,
in view of its proximity to the prop
critics of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company and recent dis
closures of highgrade ore on the
latite-shale contact in the Velvet
claim of the Jumbo Extension, which
adjoins the Kewanas claim No on
the south The Kewanas property
has long been considered as posses
sing great merit and it has been fre-
quently predicted by mining mer
familiar with local conditions that
lts development at depth is almost
certain to result in making a mine
of it.

MERGER PUMPS
TO ARRIVE SOON
MANUFACTURERS TELEGRAPH
THAT THEY WILL BE
SHIPPED TODAY

Unless the calculations of the of
ficials of the Goldfield Merger Mines
company prove faulty, the two big
pumps ordered for the 1S00-foot
main or st. Ives shaft on that prop
erty will arrive on the ground with
in the next fifteen or twenty days.
President C. o. Whittemore, who is
from his headquarters in Los Ange-
les, stated today that he had receiv-
ed a telegram from the Platt Iron
Works of Dayton, Ohio, the man
ufacturers of the pumps, to the eff
feet that they were tested yesterday
and would be shipped today. AS
President Whittemore has already
made arrangements with the rail-
roads over which the pumps will
travel to hurry their delivery, he es-
Inmates that they will arrive at the
mine by not later than October 25.
President Whittemore further be-
lieves that the pumps will be in
stalled and placed in commission
within fifteen days after their arriv-
al. No time will be lost in their in
stallation, as all preparations have
been made by General Manager A. l..
Darcy. The new six-inch water
column has been placed in position
in the shaft from the collar to the
sump and the concrete foundations
for them in the stations on the 1850

ON FUTURE PLANS
SILVER PICK CON. OFFICIALS
THOROUGHLY SAMPLING
PROPERTY

General Manager E. s. Van Dyck
and General Superintendent Walter
s. Norris of the Silver Pick Consoli-
dated Mines company are at present
engaged in thoroughly sampling the
workings on the 5OO-foot level of
the property with a view to deter
mining the future plan of operations.
AS a great amount of work has been
performed in the exploration of the
mammoth vein, their work will not
be finished for several days. Both
express themselves as pleased with
conditions prevailing and it is not
unlikely that the sale of operations
will be considerably increased in the
near future.
Since the reduction in the working
force of the property at the outbreak
of the European war, in consequence
of the resultant uncertainty of finan-
cial conditions, operations in the
property have been confined to the
winze being sunk on the hanging
wall in the south drift from the
east crosscut on the 5O0-foot level.
1t has a present depth of 1O4 feet
below the drift level. Although the
bottom is at present exposing low
grade quartz, the winze has revealed
some excellent values, twenty-inch
streak yielding assay returns of $3S
per ton. Drifting on the vein from
the winze both north and south will
probably be inaugurated in the near
future. 1t is likely that one of the
drifts will be started from the bot
tom and the other at a point high
er up.

GETTING EXCELLENT
RESULTS ON VERMAl
LESSEES ARE ADDING TO THEIR
ACCUMULATION OF SACKED
ORE

Success continues to attend the
efforts of Walter Fitzgerald and
Leonard Peterson. former employees
of the Vernal Mining company. who
obtained lease on the property in
the Diamondfield section of the
Goldfield district about two months
ago when operations on company ac-
count were suspended in conse-
quence of the uncertain financial
conditions following the outbreak or
war in Europe. They are slowly ad-
ding to their accumulation of sack
ed ore and it is likely that they will
make a shipment to the Millers'
month.
The lessees are confining their OPP
erations to the south drift on the
200-foot level of the property. In
continuing the drift they recently
cut diagOnally across from the
oxide streak of ore of excellent grade
on the hanging wall to the footwali
of the vein and revealed streak of
more than three feet of sulphide ore
of like value. Going back in the
drift to the point at which a raise
was put up some time ago on the
hanging wall to connect with an
eight-foot winze from the 100-fOOt
level drift, the lessees started new
raise. With only fifteen feet of
work, they have encountered the
sulphide ore at that point and are
now breaking down two and half
feet of rock that assays around $50
ton. They are sorting the output
of the raise to grade of 500 and
will use it to sweeten the fifteen tons
of $40 ore already sacked from 9th
er workings.

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

development of the new ore body
Raise 410-A, which recently con-
nected the east drift along the shale
fOOtwall with the 921-foot level east
drift. a distance of eighteen feet
vertically, but sixty-five feet on the
dip of the vein. has exposed an av-
erage of five feet of 500 ore be,
tween the two levels. The down.
ward extension of the ore body was
revealed several days ago by ver-
tical 5O3-B raise put up sixty-five
feet above the east crosscut off the
main southeast crosscut on the
1017foot level at point sixty feet
east of the Poleverda claim line and
100 feet east of vertical raise 503-A
in the Poleverda territory above the
same crosscut Five feet of 5000
ore is exposed by the faces of the
east and west drifts about ten feet
il. length on the vein from the top
cf vertical 503-B raise. Work has
beeen temporarily suspended in
these drifts pending the completion
of an air raise from them to the
east ''shale" drift below the 921-fOOt
level. The roof of the air raise,
now up more than thirty feet, is ex-
posing six feet of $500 ore Other
workings in both the Velvet and
Poleverda claims are also giving a
splendid account of themselves in
the production of lower grade ores.
GOldfield Consolidated
The pleasing conditions prevail
ing in the various mines of the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company
are well reflected by the preliminary
estimate of production and earn
ings during September, which has
just been made public by A. H.
Howe, secretary and treasurer. 1t
shows that the mines produced a
total of 27,846 tons of ore, from
which was made a gross extraction
of 100000. Operating expenses
amounted to $1S0,00O, leaving a
net realization of $122,000.
Florence-GOldfield
The Florence mine is yielding its
usual quota of ore. Thus far this
month it has sent to the Millers
sampler of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company three carloads or
approximate 2iy $50 tons. A large
portion of the shipments is made up
from the output of the big stope on
