The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-03-20

LOT 81 rect on the vein; total length
21 feet. The drift has passed through
a we'll defined vein of low grade
quartz, assaying from 81 to $S.S5
e ton. This prospect continues to
be most promising and is daily in
creasing the future outlook in the
mine. Regular routine repairs were
made to the shaft.
The Ophir company has contin-
ued the work of opening up the CEN
trail tunnel workings and this week
saved 215 cars of ore, and shipped
ISL tons to the Kinkead mill. Re-
pairs have been finished to the main
west crosscut and the face is in hard
porphyry, about so feet west of the
footwall of the Comstock. This
drift also passed through the west
ledge, which follows the footwall,
and at the point of intersection is
in low grade. South lateral No. 1
leading to the Andes mine has been
repaired to the SO foot point. The
end of the old workings has APP
%parently been reached in this drift
and the face shows a vein eight feet
wide, sampling from So to IS per
ton. A crosscut has been completed
through the east ledge and a raise
is 10Y being put up through an old
fill.
Union Consolidated on the 1850
foot level advanced the south drift
from the west crosscut to the 46 foot
point and the face is in vein matter
with 16 inches of quartz sampling
from $6.93 to $77.92 per ton. Ii
the north drift from the west cross
cut sinking under the floor was con-
tinued to a total depth of IL feet and
the bottom shows more quartz in
the footwall, and in the center of the
vein matter, but giving low assays.
The hanging wall shows quartz up
to IL inches in width, sampling from
fair assays to $117 per ton. The
north drift was advanced five feet
and the face shows porphyry and
quartz of low assay value.
In the Mexican mine on the $500
level, the south drift from the east
crosscut was extended eight feet and
from the advance 25 tons we're sent
to the wedge dump. In the under
stope in the north drift from the east
crosscut an ore chute was put In
and "a IONS extracted averaging
SPLIT per ton. From the stope IN
the north drift at a point 1913 feet
in 35 tons were taken Averaging $11
per ton.
The Comstock Pumping associa-
ton continues the work on the 27OU
pump installation and on the 1900
level the electricians at the trans
former station have begun work of
testing out and connecting up the
five sections of the power cable. On
the $500 level. at the joint Ophir
Mexican Wine the mouth of the west
crOsscut opposite the Wine station
has been cleared out to place the
surface water tank for use of hy-
draulic balance to the turbine pump
Work completed on gallows frame
and sheave wheels and taken down
the turbine pumps and motors from
surface and stored them in the Mex
lean connecting drift. In the Next
a winZe the water has been lower
ed and miscellaneous repairs and
work done to a point fifty feet be-
low the $500 level.
Work has been advanced on the
1900 level of the Yellow Jacket COM
pany and from the Slopes and ex-
%plOratiOn work 635 cars of low grade
ore have been saved. North drift
No. 1 was advanced 10 feet, east
crosscut No. 2 extended II feet,
stope No. l in the north drift yield
ed 455 cars of low grade ore from
the sill to the seventh floors and
stope No. 2 in the north drift &C
and first floors. Repairs were made
to the shaft and incline and dis
charge column for pump was in
below the 400 level. At the
surface $40 tons were sent to the
glory hole from the shaft and Sal
tons Of mine rock and IS tons Of
dump rock shipped to the mill. One
bar of bullion was shipped to the
smelter.
The Belcher company on the L.
800 level extended south drift No.
1 to the "a foot pont and in the
Joint incline the south compartment
was cleaned out and timbered for
II feet, total distance below the
] 400 level in repair, 1919 feet.
The Crown Point company on the
400 level made repairs to the man
way in stope No. 2.
The Overman company on 1900
level advanced south drift from
the east crOsscut 200 feet north of
he south boundary line for eleven
feet. total legnth 50 feet. The face
shows quartz and porphyry.
