HEAVY OUTPUT
BY JUMBO Ex.
TO TOTAL NEARLY 5000
TONS

When complete figures are obtain
ed, it is probable that the total pro-
duction of the Jumbo Extension mine
during July will be shown to be
close to three thousand tons of ore.
1t is calculated by General Manager
j. X. Turner that the shipments dur
ing the month of milling grade rock
to the plant of the Goldfield Consoli-
dated Mines company will aggregate
255O dry tons of an average value of
SIS a ton. In consequence of the ex-
cellent extraction being made by the
ten-stamp and eleven concentrating
table section of the mill given
over to it. some of the ore shipped
there by the Jumbo Extension has
been of a value as high as $45 a
ton. In addition to the mill ship
ments, fifty-ton carloads of smelling
ore of an average value of $50 a ton
were despatched Monday and Tues
day from the mine to the Millers
plant of the Western Ore Purchasing
company. Two more like lots of ore
will be sent to the Millers plant,
bringing the total shipments of
smelter ore for the month up to four
carloads or approximately 200 tons.
In view of the heavy shipments be-
ing made, there is need of but little
comment on the conditions prevail
ing in the Jumbo Extensions old
Poleverda workings and the Velvet
claim, which was acquired several
months ago from the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company. A large ton
mage of ore is being yielded by the
stope above the S50yfo intermediate
level northeast drift in the Velvet.

DEX1ER.WHIT CAPS COMPANY
RAISING LARGE TONNAGE OF ORE

set of new amalgamating plates has
been installed below the stamps and
the tube mill Water for the mill
will be obtained from the workings
OF the Manhattan Earl, Manhattan
Consolidated and Dexter White Caps,
making total of about 10000 gal
Ions per day. The mill will resume
work on consignment of one thou
sand tons of ore from the COnsoli-
dated, which will be followed by a
like shipment from the Consolidated
Leasing company.
No information of an authOrita-
tive character is obtainable regard
ing the efforts of the management of
the Commercial Mines & Milling
company looking to the ! consOlida-
ton or purchase of practically all the
producing properties in the western
portion of the district. However, a
force of miners has been put to work
trenching the surface of the Jumping
Jack claim Presumably the present
zone of enriched schist which has
proven so profitable to the Reilly
fraction and the Big Pine claim, ad-
joining the Jumping Jack on the
south is to be developed from the
surface and it's limits and values de-
termined. 1t is reported that an
agreement has been made providing
for exploration work in the ore zone
in the Big Pine and May Queen
claims, now being operated by Mush-
ett and Wittenberg, lessees. 1t is
also understood that three prospect
ing drills, similar to Keystone out
fits, have been purchased and will be
used in defining the ore zones in the
properties involved in the present
consolidation negotiations.
Mushett and Wittenberg, operators
of the Big Pine and May Flower
property, as well as owners of the
Manhattan Milling & Ore company,
have purchased a crusher with a rat
ed capacity of 400 tons a day, which
will be installed on the Big Pine
property, close to the collar of the
shaft After it's installation, the
ores from the various levels will be
crushed and ''grizzled" and the grade
of the product thus raised and waste
rock eliminated. In this manner the
hauling of the waste rock from the
nine to the mill will be obviated.

The management of the Dexter
White Caps Mining company, which
recently resumed operations on COM
pany account on it's property In the
Manhattan district, is now extract
ing a large tonnage of ore from
what are known as the eastern and
western ore shoots, about 700 feet
apart on the 2O0-foot level. About
fifteen feet above the collar of the
shaft landing and track from the
gallows frame have been installed
and the ore broken down on the lev
ell named is being piled on the side
hill north of the shaft.
Operations in the face of the west
drift on the ore body recently were
temporarily suspended in order to
permit of the removal of large tom
mage of ore that has accumulated.
The last round of shots, fired to de-
termine the full width of the vein,
exposed ten feet of ore, but failed
to reveal the footwall. AS soon as
the drift is cleared a machine drill
pushed as rapidly as possible. An
old pillar of rich OXidiZed ore below
the SO-foot level near the shaft has
been tapped with raise from the
1OO-foot level. A chute has been in
stalled and the ore is being extract
ed. Grab samples of the ore show
average values of ST. per ton.
Surveys recently made by General
Steiner in the west
drift on the 200-foot level of the
property of the Manhattan Consoli-
dated Mining company show that an
additional forty-eight feet of work
will be necessary to tap the big Ken
dali ore shoot of free milling ore.
Connection was recently made from
the same drift with the old workings
of the Wittenberg-Mushett lease,
making Immediately available large
tonnage of low grade ore already de-
veloped in the lease workings.
After an extended shutdown, the
Associated ten-stamp mill will be
ready for continuous operation with
in a few days. During the shut
down the plant has been completely
overhauled and many repairs made.
Two new tanks have been installed
in order that both clear water and
solutions may be used when base
ores are being milled. A complete

ton of the property. The property
will be thoroughly sampled and COM
prehensive assaying done.
Eight men are now employed on
the Dalton property. The present
owner has been extensively interest
ed in the Ida district for several
years and has expended thousands
of dollars in development work. Mr..
Dalton is filled with enthusiasm
over the prospects of his property,
and if the present examination OF
his engineer bears out his hopes he
will bring fresh capital into the dis
trict. He expects to spend at least
a month in southern Nevada.
Upon his return to New York Mr..
Dalton and his wife, the latter known
to the stage as Marie Dressler, the
famous commediene, will sail for
Europe for two months vacation.

FLORENCE IS IN
SPLENDID SHAPE
FIVE FEET OF 500 ORE BEING
BROKEN DOWN AT ONE
POINT

No fewer than six widely separated
workings in the Florence mine have
been yielding highly satisfactory re-
turns during the last week, thereby
splendidly maintaining the excellent
conditions that have prevailed for
some time past on the various levels
of the property. Up to Tuesday
tons of ore of good grade had been
shipped to the Millers' plant of the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
Another car will be despatched,
making the total production for July
about 600 tons.
Although five feet of $25 ore is
still standing in the face, at least
$50 feet north of the shaft, opera
tions were suspended temporarily
several days ago in the stope above
the main north drift on the 5O-foot
level on the orebody revealed sew
eral months ago by branch raise
off the main raise from the north
drift on the 150-foot level. Opera
tions on the same orebody are now
being prosecuted to the southwark
from the raise, where five feet of ore
that averages around 500 a ton is
being broken down.

ing is in progress of about two and
a half feet of $40 ore, which is a con-

the old Baby Florence lease ground.
Immediately north and south of the
main working shaft on the same
level, stopping operations on the
main Florence vein continues to give
excellent returns. The north face of
the stope is yielding about six feet
of $40 and the south face about four
feet of SIS ore. Raising on three to
four feet of good ore is in progress
on the hanging wall side of the vein
above the north drift from the west
crosscut on the 250-foot level.
On the 25O-foot level, stope has
been started on about a foot and a
half of $12 ore above raise from
the main north drift. In the old
Engineers lease territory on the
300-foot level of the main shaft, un-
derhand stopping is being prosecuted
on two feet of $40 ore in an old drift.

EXTENSIVE WORK Is IN PROG
RESS AT KERNICKE
PROPERTY

Claude Smith. who is identified
with George A. Kernicke in the own
ership and operation of the old Has
brouck Mining company property,
south of Tonopah. is a visitor in
Goldfield on business. arriving this
morning.
He states that the property is ship
ping about thirty tons of SIS ore
each month to the Mcnamara mill
at Tonopah. The rock is being ex-
tracted from a raise above the $50
foot tunnel on the vein, at vertical
depth of about 200 feet. Consider
able exploratory work is being
done in the property and excellent
results are being obtained. The
erection of a ten-stamp mill on the
property is likely to follow the pres
ent campaign of development,
though no date for such an improve
ment has been decided upon.

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

shows that the most pleasing con-
ditions prevail in both the old Pole-
verda claim workings and those of
the Velvet claim, acquired several
months ago from the Goldfield Me-.
ger Mines company. In the Velvet
claim, the stope above the S50-foot
intermediate level northeast drift is
producing an excellent tonnage of
$12 ore, width of six feet being
mined and handled through a raise
Above the latter drift, the two raises
recently started, fifty and one hun
dred feet from the line of the Pole
verda claim, have been connected
and above their junction a stope has
been started on six feet of SIS ore.
In the crOsscut in the vein from the
face of the 921foot level east drift,
raise has been started to disclose
the hanging wall streak of ore. In
the POleverda claim, the southwest
drift along the shale footwall at a
point twenty feet below the stope
above the 97-fOOt raise from the east
crosscut off the main southeast cross
cut on the 1017-foot level is yield
ing full face of $50 ore. The
northeast drift along the shale foot
wall from the same raise is ad-
vancing on a full face of SIG ere.

While there was no unusual devel-
opments during the last week at the
property of the Goldfield ORC Mining
company, conditions there continue
exceedingly promising, according to
General Manager Thomas F. Man
ming. The west crosscut recently
started on the new 700-foot level
now measures about forty-five feet
in length and conditions in the face
indicate that the hanging wall of the
big vein which has been considerably
explored on the S10-foot level will
soon be revealed. Crosscutting of
the vein from the footwall to the
hanging wall continues from the face
of the south drift on the S10-foot
level and steady improvement in
the showing is being noted.

AutumnBest Time toSelectSeedC Corn
Farmer Gathering His Own Seed Corn Should Make II
Special Task.

arc heavy because Of an excessive
amount of sap should be ignored.
sappiness greatly increases the weight
and is likely to destroy the quality.
In many sections this fact is not suf-
ficiently appreciated.
Care of Seed Corn.
The tendency for corn to produce
suckers is hereditary. Other things be-
ing equal, seed should be taken from
stalks that have no suckers.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in a dry
place where there is free circulation
of air, and placed in such manner
that the ears do rot touch each other.
Good seed is often ruined because II is
thought dry enough when gathered
and the precaution mentioned is con-
sidered unnecessary. Many farmers be-
lieve that their autumns are so dry
that such care is superfluous Seed
corn in every locality gathered at
ripening time will be benefited by dry
ing as suggested. If left in the husk
long after ripening it may sprout or
mildew during warm, wet weather or
become infested with weevils.
The vitality of seed is often re-
duced by leaving it in sack or in a
pile for even a day after gathering.
During warm weather, with some mois-
ture in the cobs and kernels, the ears
heat or mildew in a remarkably short
time.
The Department Of Agriculture has
bulletin that gives in detail the best
manner of treatment for corn after il
is gathered. The bulletin also describes
how seed corn should be stored dur
ing the winter and tests of the ger
mination Of seed corn. The bulletin
