kEWANAS WILL
sink DEEP WINE
CONTACT OF LATTE AND SHALE
WILL BE OBJECTIVE
POINT

Preparations for the sinking of a
winze in the property of the Reor-
ganized Kewanas Mining company
below the long east crosscut from
the 70O-foot station in the Laguna
shaft of the Goldeld Consolidated
Mines company have reached a
stage that justifies the prediction
that the work will be under way
within the next week.
With the exception of a rope way,
the work of cutting big station to
accommodate a hoist for use in the
sinking operations has been COM
pleted. The rope way will be made
in the next day or two, and then
will follow the installation of a
twenty horsepower electric hoist,
which is already on the ground.
With the aid of windlass, the
winze has already beeh started and
sunk to a depth of ten feet. The
winze station is located 700 feet
east of the Laguna shaft and 130
feet from the eastern boundary line
of the Last Chance claim of the
Goldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany.
The purpose of the management
in sinking the winze is to reveal in
Kewanas territory the contact of the
latte and shale, along which all i'm
portant ore bodies revealed at great
depth in this district have been
found. 1t is calculated that to
reach the objective point it will be
necessary to send the winze down
$50 feet below the crosscut level,
which will give vertical depth from
the surface of $50 feet. In view

REICRN FROM TWO WEEKS
VISIT TO SAN FRANCISCO

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles S. Sprague
returned from San Francisco Yes
terday after a two weeks vacation
during which business was COM
bined with pleasure. Mrs. Sprague
was suffering severely from bron-
chitis when she left but returned
practically cured. Mr.. Spraguc,
who is a member of the San Frau
cisco stock exchange, spent eve'v
business day on the floor of the eA-
change watching the battle between
bulls and bears which has 3een
waged over Jumbo Extension for
The past fortnight.
Mr.. Sprague says that JUMBO IN.
tension has easily been the leader
in trading, due partially to the
struggle of the shorts to deprcss
the stock in order to cover He
further states that Jumbo Extension
Atlanta and Merger are attracting
attention almost to the exclusion CT
all other stocks in San Francisco
and it is conceded that GOldtteld
has the call and it's stocks are GER
tain to be most active traders in The
fall and winter campaigns. Mr..
Sprague says he was Importuned On
every hand for information as to the
latest developments in Goldfield.

YELLOW TIGER
AGAIN WORKING
ED TO OPERATE NEW AIR
COMPRESSOR

The installation of the eight-drill
air compressor recently received
from Denver, Colorado. having been
completed, underground operations
have been resumed by the Yellow
Tiger Mining company at its proper
ty in the eastern section of the Gold
field district, after suspension of
several months. Manager Charles
d. Wilkinson has found that the fifty
horsepower motor originally purchas-
ed to operate the compressor is not
sufficient for that purpose and is re-
placing it with one of seventy-five
horsepower, in order that no delays
may be encountered in the further
development of the property.
Pending the completion of the
work of installing the larger motor,
Manager Charles d. Wilkinson is CIV
ing his attention to needed repairs,
such as the replacing of timbers, in
the shaft. which has a total depth of
about 700 feet. To improve the ven
tilation of the workings, new air
pipe has been placed in the shaft
from the collar to the 700 foot level,
station and through the long north
east crosscut on that level to the

ment work was started by driving
along the latite-shale contact, the
work being carried forward to the
boundary line of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated Mines company, where con-
nectiOn was made with the Grizzly
Bear workings of that company, af-
fOrding air circulation through our
workings.
The work along the contact was
continued by driving number of
drifts, crOsscuts, raises and wines,
until 1475 feet of work had been
accomplished on this level, and, with
no bodies of commercial ore expos
ID it is apparent that the contact on
this level has been sufficiently pros
pected.
In September, 1912, the sinking
of the shaft was again resumed and
carried forward until June, 1918, at
which time a depth of 1772 feet
had been reached. Owing to bad
ground penetrated near the bottom
Of the shaft it was thought advisable
to start the next development work
at higher point in the shaft. and
accordingly a station was cut at the
1725-foot point and crOsscut was
started, which was extended to the
boundary line of the Atlanta Mines
company holdings. Subsequent to
the resumption of the sinking of our
shaft from the 1325-foOt level, the
Atlanta Mines company became i'm
pressed with the belief that the con-
tinuance of the ore bodies might be
found at additional depth, and our
company, being low in funds at this
time, made an agreement with the
Atlanta Mines company whereby that
company advanced the sum of $685.
900 for the further sinking of our
shaft, with the understanding that
it should have the privilege of using
our shaft and workings for the pur-
pose of developing it's property, the
Atlanta company paying all expens-
es in connection with developing it's
own ground, as we'll as its proper
ton of all joint operating expense.
In accordance with this agree
ment the Atlanta Mines company has

vERNAL SHIPMENT
RUNS $96 A TON
LESSEES GET RETURNS UPON
ORE EXTRACTED By
THEM

Smelter returns just received by
Walter Fitzgerald and Leonard Pc
terson, lessees on the property of
the Vernal Mining company in the
Diamondfield section of the Goldfield
district, show that the shipment of
nineteen and a half tons of ore, re-
Gently made by them, averaged 500
a ton. The shipment represented
the result of the operations of the
lessees, former employees of the COM
pany, since about August 1, when
work on company account was suS-
pended in consequence of the uncer-
tainty of financial conditions at
the outbreak of the European war.
A large part of the shipment was
made up of ore extracted in raising
upon the vein above the south drift
on the 2O0-foot level directly be-
meath the eighty-foot winze sunk be-
low the 100-foot level south drift.
from which several carloads of ex-
cellent ore We're extracted about a
year ago. The vein was revealed
by the lessees about fifteen feet
above the 20O-foot level south drift,
lying very fiat. To the downward
extension of the ore shoot the lessees
started a crOsscut west from the
drift level. After driving about
forty feet the lessees are just be-
ginning to expose the ore shoot in
the face of the crosscut and are con-
fident that they will soon be again
rewarded for their efforts by open
ing up another body of pay rock.

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

east drift on the 952-foot intermedi-
ate level continues to yield splendid
results, raise just started showing
five feet of 5000 ore The face of
the west drift on the same interme-
diate level is now being broken for
width of twenty feet. The ore
being extracted from across the en-
tire width carries average values Of
$25 ton. 1t is the intention of
the management to early next month
resume work in the face of the east
crOsscut off the main southeast cross
cut on the 1017-foot level, at a point
sixty feet east of the line of the
Poleverda claim, with the object of
intercepting the downward extension
of the ore body being mined on the
levels Immediately above. Opera
tions in other workings in both the
Poleverda and Velvet claims con-
tinue to give splendid account of
themselves.

A. II. Howe, secretary and treas
urer Of the GOldfield Consolidated
Mines company, made public today
the final report of Acting Assistant
General Manager X. M. Simpson on
the operations and earnings of the
GOldfeld Consolidated Mines COM
pany for September Though the
operations were not marked by any
developments out of the ordinary,
the report shows the total produc-
tior of the company to have been
2. S71 tons of ore, which Welded
n.' profits of $12O,59967. A total
OF 231S linear feet of development
work was accomplished at cost OF

MERGER PUMPS
TO START SOON
WILL MAKE POSSIBLE FURTHER
EXPLORATION OF ATLANTA
GROUND

1t is safe to say that within the
next week exploration work on the
175-foot level of the Union Jack
claim of the Atlanta Mines company
territory, by way of the main st.
Ives shaft of the Goldfield Merger
Mines company, will be resumed.
This statement is made upon the au-
thority of A. 1. Darcy, general
manager of both named companies,
who further states that the opera
tions will. ne prosecuted as rapidly
AS possible.
Excellent headway is being made
in the installation of the two new
pumps recently received from the
in the Merger shaft to handle the
immense flow of water from the At
lanta workings. The work of plac-
ing the larger of the two pumps
a 6h by Is inch triplex, on a con-
crete foundation off the 1325-foot
level station has nearly been COM
pleted, and the smaller pump, six
inch centrifugal, will be placed in
position on the 1750-fOot level sta
tion within the next day or two. The
triplex pump is massive affair,
standing over eleven feet in height,
with a width of five and length of
twelve feet. To lower it down the
shaft it was necessary to take the
pump all apart Although the two
pumps are capable of handling ex-
actly the same amount of water -
500 gallons a minute, the disparity
in their size is accounted for by the
fact that the smaller will handle the
water only from the 175O-foot to
the 1325-foot level, lift of 425 feet,
while the larger pump will force it
from the latter point to the surface.
Before work in the Atlanta terri
tory is resumed it will be necessary
to cut an opening in the eight-foot
concrete bulkhead built in the long
ArOsscut about 900 feet from the
SMerger shaft. Before this is done,
the accumulated water held back by
the bulkhead will be drawn off
through a valve when the pumps are
ready for service. After the prelimi-
nary work named is completed, work
will be resumed in the face of the
south crOsscut off the main south
west crosscut, by which the foOtwall
of the vein is believed to have been
revealed at the time of suspension
of operations several months ago on
account of the great flow of water.
After the vein has been intersected
at this point drifts from the cross
cut will be extended along the latte
shale contact.

JUMBO tx. TO
PAY DIVIDEND
VICE PRESIDENT SPRAGUE
GIVES OUT AN OFFICIAL
STATEMENT

The Jumbo Extension Mining
company will present it's stockhold-
ers with Christmas gifts in the form
of checks for a dividend of five
cents a share on their holdings. 1t
was declared yesterday at a meet
ing of the board of directors at the
local offices of the company. and
will be distributed on the fifteenth
of December to the stockholders
of record of November 20. AS the
entire capitalization of the company
i, 100000 shares-has been is
sued. the total disbursement to
stockholders will aggregate $50. 500.
The dividend declared yesterday,
when paid, will bring the total dis
tribution of money to stockholders
up to a total of $3.50, 9,615.SO, the first
dividend. amounting to ten cents a
share, or a total of 97,115.SO, hav-
ing been paid in July of 1911 out of
the proceeds of the sale of the Vine
garone fraction claim to the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company.
Simultaneous with the announce
ment of the declaration of dividend
No. 2. Charles S. Sprague, vice pres
ident and general manager, made
public the final report of General
Superintendent J. X. Turner on the
earnings of the company during Sep
tember and made the following per-
sonal statement:
Complete returns for September
show the gross value of the produc-
tion of the mine, shipped to the mill
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company and to the smelters, to have
been $62,655, and net profits of
$35,153, or $4,000 in excess of the
preliminary estimate The cost of
mining was $2.75 per ton. Develop
ment work accomplished totaled 532
feet. The total operating costs. in
Guiding administrative expenses
amounted to SAG per ton Of ore
produced Ore in sight on two or
more sides is valued at 100000.
Cash in the bank and value of the
ore in transit on October 81 will
amount to upwards of 100000. Net
profits for October are estimated to
total $4,000. All faces of the var
ious workings in ore in the Pole
verda and Velvet claims of the mine
continue highly satisfactory.
The final report of Superintend-
ent Turner for September, in part,
follows:
The total production of your COM
pany during the month of Septem-
ber, 1914, was 1862 tons, hav-
ing a gross value (mine sample) Of
s62,655.94. and an average assay
value of $32.03 ton. This ore was
mined at a total cost of $5,377.9S,
showing an average cost of $2.75 per
ton. 775.6 tons of the ore prOduc-
ed was sent to the Goldfield Consoli-
dated Mines company mill. 1t
had an average value (mine SAM
ple) of 1881 per ton. 251 tons
of ore, placed on the mill ore dump
at the mine, showed an average value
(mine sample) of 50 per ton. 929.62
tons, sold to the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company showed an aver
age assay value (mine sample) of
$500 per ton.
During the month 532 feet of de-
velopment work was performed, as
follows: Drifts, 173 feet cross
cuts, so feet; raises, 800 feet. This
work was performed at a cost of
/ $3,34245 or an average cost OF
| $6.2S per foot, which includes pro-

and the net profits for the present
month at $4,000.
In view of Mr.. Sprague's estimate
of the net profits for October, it is
needless to say that the mine is
splendidly maintaining it's produc-
tion. For the entire month the ship
ments have averaged fifty tons daily,
the values ranging from SIS to
500 per ton, which makes it clearly
probation in the ore showings of
the mine, particularly in the Vel
vet territory, which is yielding the
major portion of the output. In the

Der, an increase of nearly $1,1OO.
The better showing IS attributable
to slight increase in the value of
