LIMITS OF RICH ORE BODY IN
VELVET CLAIM STILL Underlined

Particular interest in the opera
tiOns at the Jumbo Extension mine
is centered just at present in the new
raise being put up from the east
crosscut off the main southeast cross
cut on the 1O17-foot level, designed
to intercept the downward continu-
ity of the new rich ore body that has
yielded so prodigiously on the levels
of the Velvet claim Immediately
above. Should the continuation of
the ore shoot be proven by the new
raise, the development will vastly in
crease the potentialities of the mine;
therefore, the results of the explora
tory work at that point in the prop
erty are being anxiously awaited by
local mining men and all other per-
sons having interests in the Gold
eld district.
On account of bad ground but slow
progress has been made in the raise
during the last few days. To hold
the formation through which the
raise is passing, General Superin-
tendent ]. X. Turner has found it
necessary to to crib or square set"
the working very closely with eight
by-eight timbers. The top of the
raise is now about twenty-five feet
above the roof of the crosscut. AL
though the management hazards no
estimate as to the point at which
the possible downward extension of
the ore shoot is likely to be disclos-
ed, it is reasonable to presume, since
it dips slightly to the southeast and
was revealed at a height of sixty-five
feet at another point above the 1917
foot crosscut, that the new raise
should reach the objective point at
height of from fifty to sixty
feet. 1t was through raise
5O4-B, put up from the 1917
foot crosscut at point sixty feet
east of the eastern boundary of the
Poleverda claim, that the new ore
body was first disclosed above that
level. Since then the crosscut has
been extended an additional sixty
feet, and the new raise, known as
raise 503-C, is going up from the
face at a point about 120 feet east of
the Poleverda claim line.
On the 952-foot intermediate
level, the area of enrichment is stead
lily being extended by the explora-

tory work. The faces of the drifts
OH this level, which are now being eX-
tended from the top of the sixty-five
1017-foot level, are now more than
1925 feet apart and have exposed ore
of excellent grade and width for the
entire distance. Crosscuts extended
from the east drift near the face
have shown the vein to measure
about thirty feet between walls. The
crosscut to the footwall has exposed
six feet of $143 ore and that to the
hanging wall seven feet of $50 rock.
Operations in the face of the drift,
which have been suspended during
the crosscut work, were again re-
sumed this morning. With the up
per half of the face showing four feet
of $50 ore and the low half shale,
the footwall branch of the main
west drift on the 952-intermediate
level is now passing from the Velvet
territory into the Poleyerda claim.
Pleasing results continue to be
obtained in the exploratory work on
the other levels of the Velvet claim.
On the 700-foot level, crosscut
west is being extended from the old
Merger company workings to inter
sect the footwall section of the vein.
1t is passing through seams of
quartz, varying from two inches to
a foot in width, that yield assays of
from Sc to $40 per ton. Low grade
values are being revealed by the east
and west drifts on the S65-foot inter-
mediate level. Stopping has been
temporarily suspended above the
east drift on the 921-foot level.
where six feet of $40 ore was left
standing. Four feet of $50 ore is
being broken down from stope $40
above the west drift on the "shale"
level, which is eighteen feet below
the 921-foot level.
Above the same level in the Pole
verda territory, stope 504 above the
west drift is being extended on six
feet of 500 ore. On the 600-foot
intermediate level of the Poleverda,
near the line of the Clermont claim
Of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, a northeast drift will soon
be started on a two-foot streak

KEWAAAS WILL
SINK DEEP WINE
PREPARATIONS INCIDENT TC
WORK ARE RAPIDLY NEAR
ING COMPLETION

Excellent headway is being made
in tho preparations incident to tne
sinking in the property of the Re.
organized Kewanas Mining company
o: deep winze in the Kewanas No.
2 claim from the face of the 70O-foot
east crosscut on the 700-foot level
of the Laguna shaft of the Goldfiel,i
Consolidated Mines company. 1t is
expected that sinking will be under
way within the next few days, the
work of timbering the station and
cutting ropeway having been prac-
tically completed.
A twenty h. p. electric hoist will
be installed at the top of the winze,
which has already been sunk about
ten feet. The winze will be sent
down from a point 100 feet from
the eastern boundary line of the Last
Chance claim of the Goldfeld Con-
solidated Mines company. 1t is the
intention of the management to
sink the winze to the contact of la.
tite and shale, with which all ore
bodies of Importance exposed at
depth are associated. 1t is calcuiat-
ed that the objective point will be
disclosed by the winze within $50
feet below the level of the crosscnt
or vertical depth from the surface
OF $50 feet.

WILL REPLACE
BURNED PLANT
YELLOW TIGER COMPANY IN
STRUCTS MANAGER TO PRO-
CEED WITH WORK

President H. A. Riedel and the
other officials of the Yellow Tiger
Mining company have decided to re-
place the buildings and mechanical
equipment destroyed by the fire Of
supposed incendiary origin that oc-
Cured at the property in the east
ern section of the Goldfield district
several weeks ago. General Mana
ger Charles d. Wilkinson yesterday
received instructions from President
Riedel to proceed with the work of
replacement, as well as repair OF
such damaged machinery as can
be made use of.
Manager Wilkinson calculates
that he will have the new buildings
completed, the required new ma
chinery installed and needed re-
pairs on the other equipment made
within the next thirty or forty days.
He has already obtained estimates
of prices on various. articles of ma
chinery that can be purchased To-
cally and they will be obtained i'm
meidately. AS the 112. IS and 5
horsepower electric motors which
operated the hoist. eight-drill air
compressor and blower. respective
ly, we're rendered useless by the
flames, new ones will be purchased.
1t is probably that this part of the
new equipment will be obtained
from Denver. Instead of the rs
horsepower motor destroyed, a 100
horsepower affair will be purchased
for the operation of the compress
sOr.
The two drums of the 112 horse
power hoist. which were cracked by
the heat of the flames. can be re
paired, it having been found that
they were not damaged as great!

STRIKE MADE IN
ROUND MOUNTAIN
ON THE 8OO-FOOT
LEVEL

A new strike in the property of
the Round Mountain Mining com
pany in the Round Mountain dis
trict in Nye county is reported by
President James r. Davis. AL
though he states that more develop
ment work will be required to de-
termine the Importance and extent
of the new discovery, President Da
Wis thinks it will prove the disclo-
sure of an entirely new ore shoot
in the famous Los Gazabo vein of
the property.
The find was recently made in a
new east drift started from the six
ty-foot south crosscut to the vein
on the SOO-foot level of the incline
shaft. Only few shifts of work
had been performed by the miners
in the new drift when they ex-
posed five feet of ore that gives val
ues ranging from $12 to $40 per
ton. Particular importance at
taches to the find since it has been
made one hundred feet deeper than
any previous discovery. Although
Mr.. Davis is exceedingly conserva-
tive in speaking of the new discov
cry, he is. nevertheless. much
pleased with it and is hopeful that
1t will lead to the development of
large ore body.
The S00-level, on which the find
has been made. is a new one. the

MUCH ACTIVITY
At ROCHESTER
CONSTRUCTION OF RAILROAD
AND NEW MILL BEING
RUSHED
Special to News and Tribune.


ROCHESTER,, Nov. 18.-Roches-
ter canyon in the vicinity Of Lower
Rochester is busy spot these days,
every effort being made to complete
construction work on the new mill
and the railroad before snow flies.
The Silver Belt railroad has estab-
lished a temporary terminus below
town and lumber in large quantities
for the mill, the mines and the long
trestle on the railroad is being re-
ceived daily, together with general
merchandise for the stores in East
Rochester, supplies for the mines
and machinery for the mill.
The Silver Belt railroad is doing
a good business and receives a con-
siderable revenue from different
sources. Ore from the leases on
Nenzel hill, the Rochester hills and
Big Four, still goes out via Limerick
canyon but East Rochester leases
and the Nevada Packard in the
south end of the district load at the
new terminus in Rochester canyon.
The Packard has increased it's ship
ments to about fifteen tons daily
and is building a new wagon road
that will cut the distance down
from mine to railroad to a little
more than three miles. The COM
pany has large body of ore devel-
oped in the lower tunnel, much of
it of shipping grade. Shipments the
first two weeks of Nov. amounted
to 1876 tons Of an average value of
$50, the returns being $6,801.69. A
new tunnel has been started to get
under the ore body and when it
reaches the ore shoot the output
will be increased. The company al
so plans to send about $1,000 tons
of ore to the custom mill being built
at East Rochester. There are sew
eral thousand tons of mill ore or
$12 to SIS grade developed in the
mine and on the mill dumps. From
these sources and the sale of treas
ury stock the Nevada Packard man
agement plans to build up a fund
for the building of a mill of it's
own.
Besides the Nevada Packard
there are occasional consignments
of ore from the Weaver and the

SEEKS TO QUIET
TITLE TO CLAIM
BUSINESS SECTION OF GOLD
FIELD INVOLVED IN LEGAL
ACTION

The validity of titles to major
portion of the business section of the
town of Goldfield is attacked in an
action begun late yesterday afternoon
in the district court by Samuel Fox
of Tonopah, through Attorney
Charles Richards of the same camp,
against j. A. Akin and 13S other in
dividuals and corporations. The suit
was brought to quiet title to the
Ramsey Extension mining claim.
1t is alleged in the complaint that
the defendants hold property within
the limits of the claim named with
out legal title thereto. Fox claims
he located the claim for himself and
T. l.. Oddie and James Ennis on May
%, 1908, and that he subsequently
purchased the interests of the CO.
locators. He further claims that he
has complied with the law regarding
the performance of annual assess
ment work on the claim and that he
is the rightful and legal owner of
The suit, rumors of which have been
current for several years, is regard
ed as preliminary to an application
by Fox 10 the government for a pat
ent to the claim. That the action
will be bitterly contested is certain.

NEW JERSEY IS
SINKING SHAFT
BEING SENT DOWN FROM THE
400 no 6OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Good headway is being made in
the work of sinking the shaft on
the Excelsior property of the New
Jersey Mines company in the east
ern section of the Goldfield district
from the 400 to the 6O0-foot level
Sinking operations were resumed
about month ago and the shaft
now has depth of approximately
400 feet.
The company is composed of New
York and New Jersey capitalists
and has been Systematically prose-
cutting development work for several
years, under the supervision of Man.
ager Harry Ernest. Prior to the re-
sumption of sinking operations. the
company replaced it's eighteen
horsepower gasoline hoist with a
forty horsepower electrical equip
ment.
On the 40O-foot level, apEroxi-
mately 500 feet of development
work has been performed. In the
west drift on that level, four feet
of quartz, giving average assays OF
IS a ton, has been exposed for a
considerable distance. At various
points in the drift the vein however,
gives higher values. When the 600.
foot point is reached by the shaft
an extensive campaign of lateral
work will be inaugurated.

Unless all signs are misleading,
the Goldfield district is destined to
sscome bacl :" with a vengeance in the
near future. While it is not reason
able to suppose that the wild excite
ment that characterized the "early
days. will be again witnessed, there
is no gainsaying the fact that the
camp is on the eve of a great re-
vival of mining activity. Evidence
that the future holds in store for
Goldfield a new era of prosperity
closely approaching that of the hal
cyon days is not only found in the
activity of the shares of many or
the local companies on the stock ex-
changes of San Francisco and New
York, but in the renewed interest
being manifested by the members OF
the mining fraternity, in particular,
and the investing public, in general.

GOldfield Consolidated
The preliminary estimate OF the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany of production and earnings In
october, recently made public by A.
II. Howe, secretary and treasurer
leaves no doubt that the various
mines of the company made last
month the best showing in the last
three months. The October output
amounted to 2S,660 tons of ore,
from which net profits of $149.OOo
were realized as against 27,S71 tons
and net profits of $120,599 in Sep
tember, an increase in output OF 7S9
tons and in net profits of $28,4O1.
The quarterly statement also re-
Gently issued by the company shows
that during the three months end
ing September 80 the company mill
reduced a total of 79,605 dry tons
of ore. from which values We're re-
covered to a total of $918,0S8.26.
Operating expenses amounted 10
$516.S77.77, leaving a net realiza-
tion for the quarter of $4O1,2lO.4S.
After completing the purchase OF the
control of the Aurora Consolidated
Mines company by the payment OF
the balance due, namely $374,2ll,
the company had on hand in cash
and bills receivable approximately
s697.OOO at the end of the quarter
named. The figures contained IN
the quarterly statement and the pre-

earnings last month make 1t evil
dent that the various properties OF
the company are in excellent physi-
cal condition.

the future of the property are being
obtained in the recently resumed
work of extending the west crosscut
on the 5OO-foot level of the Silver

Since the resumption of work
about a week ago at point ninety
feet west of the shaft on the level
