nately, has greatly decreased of late,
the development work has reached
a stage where more substantial re-
suits than thus far attained are like
ly to occur. AS a matter of fact, de-
velopments during the last few days
have been of a highly significant
character.
Three and a half feet of ore, as
saying $3.50 per ton, has been
opened up in the bottom of the winze
recently started on the footwall side
of the big vein just off the main
southwest crosscut. Assays of car
samples of the ore being broken down
from the prospect raise above the
north drift off the branch e cross
cut show that it carries average i
ues of $3.50 per ton. h Wine
and raise are approximately 300 feet
apart on the length of the vein.
Goldfield Orc.
Manager Thomas F. Manning OF
the Goldfield Orc Mining company is
more confident at present of the fu-
ture of the property than at any pre-
vious time in it's history. The west
crosscut being extended from the
shaft on the 700-foot level is now
out $50 feet and is revealing a high
ly mineralized zone. The new south
drift from the shaft on the same level
is now fifty feet in length and is eX-
posing a favorable change in the an
desite formation through which 1T is
passing. On the SOO-foot level, a
raise has been started on promising
looking quartz and vein matter above
the east crosscut from the main north
drift. Miners are at present engaged
one shift each day in repairing the
shaft between the 700 and S0O-foot
levels.
Goldfield Shale.
A party of San Francisco capital
lists has become interested in the
Goldfield Shale Mining company, a
new corporation originally known as
the ~Spearhead Mining and Leasing
to the extent of supplying
funds to insure the thorough and
comprehensive development of it's
lease on the south 700 feet of the
Spearhead claim of the S~pearhead
Gold Mining company. The old Ma
loney shaft, sunk to a depth of 215
feet in the early days of the camp
on ground embraced in the lease
hold. will be sent down to the latte
shale contact. A sixty horsepower
electric hoist will be placed on the
shaft.
Yellow Tiger.
The Yellow Tiger Mining COM
pny is rapidly getting into shape
for extensive operations on the 100
foot level of the property. The work
of repairing the eight-drill air COM
pressor and reminding the 100 horse
power electric motor to drive it, both
of which were damaged by fire sew
eral months ago, is nearing compile
ton. The entire surface equipment
will again be placed in commission
within the next few days. The COM
pany will then begin sinking a winze
on two and a half feet of $25 ore be-
low the south drift and start a raise
above the north drift to connect with
the 6O0-foot level. At present the
north drift on the 700-foot level is
being extended on the vein with hand
steel.
Jumbo Junior.
The stock of the Jumbo Junior
Mining company was listed by
the San Francisco exchange last
Wednesday and called for the first
time of the following day. The COM
pany plans to inaugurate operations
on it's property, the Spearhead Frac-
ton, adjoining the Jumbo Extension,
Merger and Kewanas properties, in
the near future.
kewanas.
The linz being sunk below the
700-fOot level of the property of the
Reorganized Kewanas Mining com
pany has reached a depth of 100 feet.
1t is expected to reveal the latte
shale contact within an additional
fiftu foot
