tend it's development work into this
territory. The new raise, known as
the 1912 raise, from the south drift
Oh the center of the big vein at the
1850 level, is showing solid ore of
low grade, which carries nj copper,
and the indications here are regard
ed as highly promising.
ReOrganized Booth
Assays running as high as 1921
have been obtained on the $50 and
50O-foot levels of the Booth, where
development is progressing in two
drifts and three raises in the big
vein, near the Columbia Mountain
fault. Work in the incline shaft,
which was sunk to a depth of $50
feet neal the southern end of the
property for the purpose of further
proving up the apex conditions here,
has been discontinued, as has all 9TH
er work in connection with the apex
contention, and it is reliably report
ed that a settlemet of this contro-
versy is assured.
GOldfield Merger Mines
The hearing of the application to
perpetuate the receivership of the
Merger company was begun in the
federal court at Seattle on Wednes-
cav. The outcome of the litigation
has been awaited with the keenest
interest by the public, as it is ex-
pected to have a strong influence
,n1r Tho ctnnly nnorE0 of an6 nnnn the
outcome will depend a resumption Of
operations on the cOmpany's prop
arty. Those who are interested in
the Merger are most anxious that the
company resume work, as late deve1-
Cpments in the adjoining ground of
the Jumbo Extension indicate that
there are good chances for the Mer-
Ger to find the extension of the jun
DO orebody.
Silver Pick Con.
The main shaft of the Silver Pick
consolidated has been sunk at al
most record speed to a depth of 700
feet and a station is being pre-
pared at this depth, from which lat
eral work will be conducted. Drifts
and crosscuts will be extended over a
wide area to explore the latte shale
contact and to prospect at depth sew
eral strong veins in this ground.
ReOrganiZed Kewanas
Drifts are being advanced to the
North and southeast along the shale
contact in Kewanas ground, at a
] Anrth of S10 foot c Unf M GRO of
commercial grade has been ex-
posed, but the drifts are in quartz
of good appearance, carrying a
small amount of gold. This plan of
development will be continued, to
find some point at which a vein
comes in contact with the shale,
where there are strong hopes of find
ing pay ore.
Other Properties
Goldfield Orc maintains it's promis-
ing appearance on the 700 and 500
foot levels, where the workings have
exposed large masses of quartz Of
the character found in the nearby
producing mines. Florence Goldfield
continues to send ore to the sampler
and is driving a new raise to reach
the Orebody in the new vein, nearer
the hanging wall. Combination
Fraction lessees, on the southern
part of the property, have exposed
four feet of $50 ore in the north ex-
tension of the new Florence vein
and the present outlook is promising
for a substantial production of ship
ping ore. Blue Bull is conducting
development work on the 700-foot
level and has exposed vast quanti-
ties of gOOd-looking quartz, carrying
some gold. Black Butte, Conqueror,
Commonwealth. Daisy. Simmerone,
Empire, Lone Star, Great Bend, Blue
Bell, Grandma, Spearhead, Yellow
Tiger, Justice. Columbia Mountain,
Crackerjack, New Jersey Mines, Tai
mage and other properties are
either at present undergoing active
development or are planning work of
Importance, either on company ac-
cOnnt or at the hands of lessees.
