OFFICIALS OF COMS7OCK Mines
ISSUE STATEMENT ON OUTLOOK

The local mine officials, including
President w. c. Ralston of the
United Comstock Pumping associa-
ton, and Messrs. j.. H. Berghauser and
Herman Zadig and Mining Engineer
Parr, returned to San Francisco last
evening, after spending a part of Sat-
urday and yesterday inspecting con-
ditions underground at the northend,
says the Virginia Chronicle. They
all expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the general situation
at every point, both in pumping and
mining operations, and the ore de-
velopment now being made in Ophir
was given close scrunity and inspec-
ton. President Ralston of the pump
ing association stated before depart
ure.
The ore development in the Ophir
mine on the intermediate level is
much more extensive than l expected
to find it or to see and in 33 feet of
given a yield of 1877 mining cars, es-
timated at 169 tons, of an average
assay value of $4S.37 per ton, and a
gross value of $~S135.72. The min
eralization, from my viewpoint, is a
strong one, and a most important
showing, and even should it extend
no further than the bounds already
blocked out, insures quite a good
body of ore. But the ore limits ap-
pear to have been by no means
reached as yet, and every blast is
increasing the area of the zone.
The pumping situation at the G.
& C. will soon be very much i'm
proved by the installation on the
200 station of the Con. Virginia
winze of a station pump, and two
sinking pumps, which will handle
the water from that level much more
easily than now, and at a much less
cost. We hope to have this ~installa-
ton made within the next two Or
three weeks. l found everything
connected with the pumping plants in
excellent condition, and giving good
efficiency in operation. The general
situation in pumping association af-
fairs remains unchanged, except that
a satisfactory arrangement has been
concluded with the power company.
The Mexican and Union Con. COM
panies have not resumed their pay
ments to the association, and there
seems to be no likelihood that the!
will for the present at least. Per
sonally; l have done everything asked
of me to bring this desired end about,
and the same holds true with the
association. We have met all the
demands made of us as to conditions
to be fulfilled, and that is all any
one can do. l do not believe that
they know. what they want, in fact,
they have as much as intimated this
to me themselves. We are going
ahead with our plans, and hope to
be able to hold things together
Mr.. Zadig stated hal he and the
others were more than gratified with
the conditions found on the 1850
and 24OO levels of the Ophir mine,
and that it looks as if a good body
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-03-28

of ore was to be the result of present
Developments. Continuing he said:
II regret to learn of the report
that the Mexican and Union have
decided to stop work for the present,
owing as 1 understand it. tn advice
to that end from their attorneys. A
meeting of the directors of the Mex.
lean company was held last week
which l attended, and / asked the
question why work was not going
ahead on the development of the
lower levels of the company, and of
the Union company. At a previous
meeting, it was recommended that
contract to build a mill at Rochester,
the profits which, 1 understood wer,
to be applied to expenses of working
the Comstock property, as soon as
the 2700-foot level was reached. For
this reason l voted for the Rochester
proposition. Now the water is out
to the 200 and work would be start
ed in both properties to open up the
new levels, where the prospects are
said to be first class for ore develop
ment. At the meeting of the direc-
tors it was stated that the reason
for work lot going ahead was
through a zeal owing to the present
strained relations, that if an orebOdy
was found, that the water might be
allowed to rise, or the air connec-
tions cut off. Now l hold that prop
osition is most ridiculous, and 1 think
all will so agree with me, who know
the present scope of operations at
the Northend of the Comstock, where
the Ophir., Con. Virginia and Sierra
Nevada are making every effort to
get into the deep levels. We have
already given orders to Superintend-
ent Mccormick to rush work of de-
velopment, which will be carried on
soon on the 1900 level. 1t certainly
would not be reasonable to suppose
that those companies would let the
water rise. The orders given to Mr..
Mccormick are explicit and ] believe
will be good news to the people of
Virginia City, and will certainly show
who are friends of the COmstock."
Mr.. Berghauser states that work in
the Sierra Nevada, in the establish
ing of through connections from the
C. & C. shaft on the $500 level, is
moving forward rapidly, and that
that company is using every endeavor
to quickly start it's winze below the
$500, in order to prospect the vein
on the $500 and 200 levels, that
has shown such good possibilities in
the raise above the $500.
Before boarding the train last
evening for San Francisco at the
V. & T. station. Mr.. RalstOn stated
to the Chronicle representatives:
You can say that if the Mexican
and Union and Savage companies re-
sumo their pro rata contribution to
the Pumping association expenses, 1t
would make possible the employ
ment of at least n hundred addi-
tional miners at the Northend imme-
diate1V'

The Ophir company advanced the
235O-foot level the past week, for a
total distance of twenty feet, and the
limits of the pay values has not yet
been reached. Although the average
car samples for the past seven days
are not as high as previously secured,
they continue of a good milling grade.
The vein on the hanging wall side is
new referred to as the East vein, and
was extended 10 feet for the week to
the 34-foot point; the footwall vein is
and was also carried forward for a
distance of 10 feet; total length 40
feet. From the advance of both of
these drifts, there was saved IA cars
of ore of an average assay value of
$39.53. The East vein is showing
greater width, and the Hardy vein
remains of about the same dimen-
sions, and good ore vas exposed in
the face at the last blast yesterday.
The general conditions on this level
are of a favorable character, and a
good sized tonnage of ore is already
in sight along the course of the pros
pecting drifts. 1t is probable that
shipments to the mill and cyanide
plant will soon be resumed. On the
24OO-foot level, the east crosscut
started at a point $50 feet in the
southwest drift was advanced Is feet;
total length 40 feet. The drift
passed through porphyry and punches
of quartz, assaying from $1.10 to
$1.40 per ton.
Consolidated Virginia continued
the northeast drift on the 25OO-foot
level, started at a point 1873 feet
east from the shaft station and ex-
tended the same for a distance of 10
feet; total length rs feet. The face
quartz of low assay value. The vein
continues to show good proportions
and well defined walls. General re-
pairs were made to the main hoist.
The report of the United Comstock
Pumping association for the week,
shows the water being held at the
usual points. On the 18th, the motor
to No. 2 vertical pump in the shaft
at the 25OO-foot level, burned out but
it was promptly replaced by another
motor from the shops. The pump is
now il good condition. Six shifts
we're necessary at the Utah shaft, dig
cling trenches to divert the surface
water that was running into the shaft.
In the north drift from the $500 sta.
ton from the Con. Virginia winze.
seven tunnel sets of timbers were put
in place.
The Sierra Nevada company on the
$500 at the Union-Sierra Nevada
winze installed a pressure water
pump and placed a stump pump. In
winze collar, to cut out a station,
the main southeast drift on this level
a dam was put in beyond the stope
and removed timbers preparatory to
blasting in the bottom of the drift
to place the collar of the new winze.
A showing of good ore vas made at
that point incidental to the blasting.
Work has now started above the
winze collar, to cut out a station,
which must be completed before reg
ular sinking can be started.
During the past week the Mexican
mill ran So per cent of the time and
