Afternoon

After battle lasting practically
five years, the litigation between the
Round Mountain Mining company
and the Round Mountain Sphinx
Mining company was tentatively set
tied at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
when representatives of the two cor
porations signed an agreement which
will ultimately result in the consoli
dation of the two companies and the
acquisition of other properties in the
Round Mountain district.
The terms of the compromise
agreement will be submitted to the
stockholders of the two companies
for ratification, and it is expected
that final settlement will be effect
ed within the next thirty davs. The
settlement was brought about
through the efforts of Jim Robertson,
broker of Tonopah, who has been
endeavoring for several years to
bring the litigants together.
2 Following preliminary litigation
in 1909, the Round Mountain Mining
company instituted suit in 1910 in

to begin in the district court this
morning. For several days the liti-
gants have been gathering in Gold

Jumbo Extension
Considerable interest Is being
manifested in the approaching an
nual meeting of the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining company in Phoenix,
Arizona, Monday, July 13, in view
of the fact that it will be the first
session of the kind held in two years,
the former management being unable
year ago to hold one in cOnse-
quence of it's inability to get the re-
quisite representation of the out
standing stock. During the last year,
the management and control of the
company passed into the hands of
Charles S. Sprague of GOldfield and
associates and the mine has greatly
improved, in view of which facts the
reports of the various officials will
prove of unusual interest to the
stockholders.
The mine is now shipping to the
mill of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company, the output averaging
600 tons weekly, as against ap-
proximately 80 tons daily when the
product was treated at the Jumbo
Extensions leased mill at Bonnie
Clare, south of Goldfield. Ten
stamps and eleven concentrators of
the Consolidated mill have been
given over to the treatment of the
Jumbo Extension ore and an excel
lent extraction is being made. In

DRIFT

Operations at the property of the
Goldfield Orc Mining company have
reached a stage where important
developments are likely to occur any
day. Of late there has been steady
Improvement in conditions, and Man
ager Thomas F. Manning Is highly
pleased with the outlook for the
property, in which ne is supported
by local mining men conversant with
the ground.
Drifting north and south in the big
vein from the station on the $40
foot level of the S25-foot shaft is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible.
Both drifts are out sixty feet from
the shaft, and make it clear that sig
nificant disclosures may be reason
ably expected in the near future. To
the south of the shaft the ledge is
broken, but it's appearance is stead
lily improving. In the north drift
there has been a notable improve
ment during the last week. The
quartz being exposed is showing
greater solidity and the values are
improving. On the whole, the prop
erty is looking better than at any
time In the past.

ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR ORE is
BEING SACKED FROM
WINZE

The recent resumption of sinking
in the 68-foot winze originally sunk
last fall in the vein for the south
drift on the 1OO-foot level of the
Vernal property, in the Diamondfield
section of the Goldfield district, has
been attended by the most crafty
ing results. On account of extreme
ly bad air, the work of raising from
the south drift on the vein on the
2OO-foot level to make connection
with the bottom of the winze above
was abandoned by General Superin-
tendent Walter S. Norris recently
after a height of eighteen feet had
been gained.
Since work in the winze was re-
sumed, fifteen feet has been gained
and only about fifteen more feet Of
sinking on the dip of the vein will
be required to make connection with
the raise below. The entire bottom
of the winze is now exposing ore that
averages 500 a ton. Recent oper-
ations in the winze have yielded six
ty sacks of ore, grab samples of
which have given returns ranging
from sos to 1904 ton. When orig
inally sunk to depth of &c feet last
fall, the winze yielded three carloads
of ore that gave returns of from SCI
to $96 a ton.
For some distance below the 100
foot level, the vein has dip of about
60 degrees to he east. although re-
cent work shows it to stand almost
vertical AS the ore shoot rakes to
the south, the drift on the 200-foot
level will be advanced to catch it as
soon as connection between the
winze and raise is made.

PICK HAS /
GREAT SHOWING
-FOUR FEET OF EXCELLENT ORR
IN 5OO-FOOT LEVEL
DRIFT

AS it's exploration progresses, the
ore body recently revealed by the
south drift from the east crosscut
along the hanging wall of the big
vein on the 5O0-foot level of the Sif
yer Pick Consolidated mine contin-
ues to improve in size and value and
gives great promise of developing 6
into a bonanza discovery of great
magnitude. 1t is by far the most
important disclosure ever made in
the property.
General superintendent Walter s.
Norris stated this afternoon that at
a point $50 feet from the crosscut
the face of the drift is exposing one
foot of ore that assays $5S in gold,
two ounces in silver and five per
cent copper, in addition to three
feet that yield returns of $22 in gold.
two ounces in silver and five per
cent copper. Superintendent Norris,
to whom is largely due credit for the
success that has crowned the persist.
ent and extensive development work
OF the company, is naturally much
pleased over the discovery.
After the drift had advanced a dis
tance of 110 feet from the crosscut
on quartz that averaged about 50 b
ton, the face recently began to shoE
better values, which have since stead
lily improved. The drift face is now
about 100 feet north of the bound
airy line of the Combination mine Of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company. 1t has long been the the.
ory of the management of the Silver

addition to the mil grade ore sent
to the Consolidated plant, the mine
has shipped thus far this month two
carloads of shipping grade rock to
the Millers sampler of the Western
Ore Purchasing company. The in
creased shipments from the mine re-
fleet the highly pleasing condition in
the various workings of the prop
erty. The east drift into the Velvet
claim on the S50-foot intermediate
level, now out $50 feet beyond the
Poleverda claim line, is exposing a
full face of $22 ore. 1t has connect
ed with and passed beyond the stope
above the raise from the northeast
drift on the 921-foot level, in which
six feet of mill ore is being mined.
From the northeast drift, at a point
about 275 feet from the Poleverda
line, a south crosscut has been start
ed to the vein. A drift has been
started on four feet of $19.37 ore
from the stope above the 97-foot
raise from the southeast crosscut
from the main south crosscut on the
1017-foot level in the Poleverda

JUMBO EX. SHIPPING
500 TONS WEEKLY
USING TEN STAMPS AND ELEVEN
CONCENTRATORS OF CON.
MILL

Since the management of the Jum-
bO Extension mine ceased on June
shipping to it's leased mill at Bon
ME Glare, south of Goldfield, and
began diverting the output to the
mill of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines cOmany, the production Of the
property has averaged about 600
tons weekly, or about SO tons daily,
a noteworthy increase over the for
mer milling arrangement. The mine
is in excellent condition and it is
the expectation of the management
to soon increase the daily shipments
to 100 tons.
Under the new arrangement, the
Jumbo Extension is using ten
stamps and eleven concentrators
of the Goldfield Consolidated mill.
Although it will be impossible to as
certain definitely the exact saving
being made until the end of the
month. when the concentrates will
be weighed. the management of the
Jumbo Extension company states
that slightly better extraction is
being made than at the Bonnie Glare
mill, which treated the output of
the mine for two years.
Excellent results continue to be
obtained in the exploration of the
newly acquired Velvet claim by way
of the workings of the Poleverda
claim. The east drift onto the Vel
vet claim on the 850-foot intermedi-
ate level is now $50 feet across the
POleverda claim line and is expos
ing full face of $22 ore. The drift
has connected with and passed be-
yond the stope above the raise from
the 921-foot northeast drift into the
Velvet claim. At point 275 feet
from the Poleverda claim, a crosscut
south from the 921-foot level north
east drift has been started in the
shale to again reveal the vein which
lays above the drift level at that par
ticular point. In the stope referred
to, six feet of good milling ore is be-
ing extracted. From the stOpe above
the 97-foot raise from the southeast
crosscut from the main south cross
cut on the 1017-foot level of the Pol
everda claim, a new drift has been
started on four feet of $19.37 ore.

With the excavation work and the
concrete foundations for the hoist
and compressor plant completed, the
gallows frame for the shaft on the
property in the Manhattan district of
the Dexter White Caps Mining COM
pany is being framed and will be
placed in position within the next
few days. With the arrival of three
1OO-kilowatt transformers, now en-
route from Tonopah, the entire
equipment will be on the ground and
within few days thereafter opera
tions on company account will be in
full swing. The installation of the
mechanical equipment has necessari-
ly been slow on account of the large
amount of grading work necessary.
Operations on the estate of the
Manhattan Consolidated Mines COM
pany continue to make excellent
headway. During the last week the
west drift on the 2O0-foot level was
advanced more than forty feet, while
eleven feet of crosscutting and nine
feet of raising was accomplished.
