YELLOW TIGER IS
MAKING HEAOWAY
MANAGEMENT PLANS TO DIVES-
OP ADJOINING RED LION
PROPERTY

Excellent progress is being made
in the work of cleaning out and re-
timbering the workings on the 500
foot level of the property Of the
Yellow Tiger Mining company. prep
aratory to the Inauguration OF more
extensive operations than have thus
far been attempted. Operations on
the 700-foot level have been at
standstill since the management
turned it's attention to the 6GC-foot
level, but they will be resumed in
the near future.
The task of repairing the 135 foot
southwest crosscut to the vein on the
60Ofoot level was completed sever
al days ago and Acting Superintend-
ent Currie is now giving his atten-
ton to like work in the northwest
drift in the center of the ledge and
parallel drift along it's hanging
wall. The center of the vein drift
where necessary for length of $50
feet. AS it was extended in the
early day leasing operations on the
property. the length of the drift is
not known by the present manage
ment and can only be determined
by the continuance of the repair
work. The objective point in the
drift is winze sunk by lessees.
in the infancy of Goldfield. Is said
to have exposed high grade ore.
In addition to the present opera
tions on it's own property, the Off
cials of the Yellow Tiger company
are considering a plan of developing
the Red Lion group of six patented
claims, adjoining on the south. or
which the corporation owns control
A statement to that effect was made
by Vice President A. J. Trnne of
ThibodauX, La, who has been in
camp for the past week. The plans
include the sinking of two COM
partment vertical shaft to denth or
200 feet for the exploration of the
big vein, which shows a width Of
better than 10 feet and yields en-
couraging assays on the surface.
1t is further planned to develop
Jointly the Red Lion property and
the southern and western part or
the Yellow Tiger group, by extend
ing the workings on the 700 foot
level of the latter into the Red Lion.
Col. TrOne has made provision for
thorough sampling of the veins in
this territory The ultimate plan OF
work will involve the driving OF
crosscut and drift on the 7O0-foot
level, to a point below a prospect
shaft that will be sunk on the vein.
Colonel Trone and his associates
expect to greatly increase the scope
of their operations here and this
will involve the employment of
larger force of men, the use of more
nowerful equipment and the eularge-
ment, by another compartment, or
the main shaft. While in Goldfield
Colonel TrOne made a thorough In
spection of the Desert Chief and
Goldfield Sierra company's proper
ties, in which he and his associates
are largely interested.

EASILY KEEPING

PING HUNDRED TONS OF
ORE DAILY

The Jumbo Extension mine is cas-
lily maintaining it's new rate OF
production, TWO carloads or 100
tons of ore daily. which was inau-
igurated about the middle of the pres
ent month. This is due to the fact
that the operations being prosecut-
ed on the various levels of tha prop
erty are yielding splendidly. Mean
while the exploratory work is going
steadily ahead and the ore reserves
being steadily increased. The ship
ments being made are averaging
around $50 per ton. being made up
! of mixed high and lower grade ore.
The incline raise on the oreoody
from the top of vertical raise 503-

foot level has just connected with a
winze sunk from 524 south drift on
the S80-foOt level, thereby improv-
ing the ventilation of the workings
of that particular section Of tie
mine. At the point the incline raise
revealed the downward extension of
the vein, 80 feet above the 1917
foot level and 40 feet above the lat
ite-shale contact, drifts east and
west have been started on five feet
of SIS ore along the hanging wall.
Raise 526-A above the 1017foot

new FIND MADE
ON PIONEER CON.
OUTCROPPING PROVES APEA OF
IMPORTANT BODY OF
GOOD ORE

By far the best surface find on
the property of the Pioneer Con
solidated Mines company, in the P1'
oneer district, Sc miles south OF
Goldfield, was recently made, accord
ing to w. j. Tobin, president and
general manager, who has Just open
ed local offices in the M. & M. build
ing. An inspection of the new nnd'
as we'll as the underground work
ings, will soon be made by j. n.
Turner of Goldfield, consulting en-
gineer of the company.
President Tobin states that the
new find is, in reality, the revela-
tion of an entirely new vein, and ne
attaches much importance to 1t. AT
q point 80 feet west of the ola
Tex" Rickard lease shaft on the
Conservative claim and 500 feet
northwest of the companys main
working shaft, the new vein outcrops
for a width of five feet and length
of fifteen feet, all O. which yields
nice string of gold in the pan ana
comprises an excellent grade Of mill
ing ore. The ledge runs northeast
and southwest. To definitely deter
mine its dip, which is apparently to
the west at an angle of 45 degrees,
a prospect shaft has been started on
the new vein. AS soon as this point
is determined, west crosscut Will
be started, probably at a depth OF
rs feet, from the old Rickard SHAFT,
to intercept the downward extension
of the ore body. In the early days
of Pioneer, Rickard and his associ-
ates sunk the lease shaft to a total
depth of 800 feet and made excel
lent finds. They paid no attention
to the outcropping a short distance
from their shaft, which now gives
promise of adding materially to the
ore reserves of the property.
Manager Tobin, who only few
weeks ago returned to the mine
after an extended absence on account
of injuries, and resumed the devel-
opment work, is rapidly getting the
workings in shape for heavy pro-
duction. The drifts on the 100 and
2OO-foot levels of the main shaft are
at present being cleaned out and
the famous Bonanza stope above the
latter level is being retimbered. on
the 25O-foot level work has been re-
sumed in the south crOsscut at a
point $50 feet from the shaft tor
downward extension ofwhat is known
as the milling vein. Mr.. Tob'n cal
culates to have the mill on the prop
erty in commission again within the
next two weeks, by which time, it is
expected, the new set of amalgamat-
ing plates will have arrived from
Denver, Colo.

TO PROCEED WITH
MILL BUILDING
GOLD PRINCE COMPANY WILL
DEVELOP ITS PROPERTY
EXTENSIVELY

Charles O. Orr, general manager OF
the Gold Prince Mining and Leas-
ing company, which owns the old
Gold Crater Consolidated property in
the Gold Crater district, about 40
miles east of Goldfield, has returned
to Goldfield after an absence of sew
eral weeks on a business visit to the
middle states. While away, he at
tended the annual meeting of the
stockholders at Grand Island, Neb.,
on June Z, at which officers were
elected as follows: President, Dr. A.
H. Farnsworth of Grand Island; vice
president, Joseph Kotik of st. Paul,
Neb.; secretary and treasurer, E. L..
Luker of Grand Island; directors
the above named with e. S. Luker Of
Grand Island and Charles o. Orr of
Goldfield Nevada.
At the meeting, according to Mr.
Orr, arrangements were completed
for the comprehensive and thorough
development of the property. Mr.
Orr was instructed to proceed with
the erection of a twenty-ton daily
capacity mill, the machinery for
which has already been delivered on
the ground. He will resume work
on the plant in the next few days and
calculates that it will be completed
and running within the next 60 days
The property has been extensively de-
veloped and large tonnage of ex-
cellent milling ore blocked out.

EXPLOSION CUTS
OFF AIR SUPPLY
SLIGHT DAMAGE CAUSED By MIS-
HAP AT COMPRESSOR.
PLANT

Machine drills in the GOldfield
Consolidated Mines company prop
critics, as we'll as the Booth, Ke-
wanas and Merger, were out of COM
mission from late Sunday after
noon until Monday evening in con-
sequence of an explosion at the COM
pressor plant of the first named
company. The resultant damage was
slight and was completely repaired
by 6 o'clock Monday evening. Fortu-
nately, no one was injured. Only a
small loss of time in mining opera
tions in the various properties was
occasioned by the mishap.
The report accompanying the ex.
plosicn was heard throughout the
district, but. as it was thought to
have been a large surface blast, lit.
tie attention was paid to it. The
explosion turned over the air receiv.
ers on the exterior Of the plant and
broke all the pipe connections lead
ing from them. No damage resulted
to the cOmpressors or the air re-
ceivers themselves. The explosion
was caused by the sticking of a
valve of one of the compressors,
which resulted in overheating and
the subsequent ignition of the car
bOnaceous material in the air pipes.
An employe of the plant noticed the
valve trouble but before he could
turn off the power the explosion oc-
Cured.

Locally, at least, all thoughts of
present and possible litigation have
been consigned to oblivion. 1t is the
generally accepted conclusion that
the stockholders of the Goldf1eld
Merger Mines company, at their spe-
cial meeting in Seattle, Wash, on
August 4, will not only adjust their
internal controversy, growing out of
the sale of the Velvet claim, but
will pass judgment upon the desire of
the minority interests to institute,
in the name of the company, proceed
ings against the Jumbo Extension
Mining company for the recovery of
the claim in question. With the
rapid passing of the litigation, more
interest is being manifested in mine
developments, which continue of a
highly gratifying character.

BLACK BUTTE
BUYS ORIzABA
GOLDFIELD COMPANY BEGINS
WORK ON NEWLY ACQUIRED
PROPERTY

Prior to his departure last Thurs
iday for New York on business
trip, President L. X. Koontz an
nounced that the Diamondfield Black
Butte Reorganized Mining company,
operating in the DiamOndfeld sec
tion of the Goldfield district, had
taken over the Orizaba mine i'll Nye
county, so miles north of Miilers
and 3S miles northwest of Tonopah,
and that operations there had already
been inaugurated.
The Dolphin and Mammoth claims,
constituting the OIizaba mine, were
acquired by President Koontc for
the company from the Tonopah
Banking corporation of Tonopah.
Four claims surrounding the mine
have also been purchased from P.
B. Rovnianek of Coaldale. who was
connected with the deal involving
the two other claims. A force of 10
miners has been put to work on
the property, under the supervision
of l.. l.. Patrick, vice president OF
the Black Butte company.
The Orizaba proper, according to
Mr.. Koontz, has to it's credit ship
ments aggregating in value $4,000.
An incline shaft was sunk oE the
property to a depth Of 10 feet by
former owners, with lateral wcrk on
the vein at the 95-foot point. The
vein, Mr.. Koontz states. varies from
three to Is feet in width and taken,
as a whole, is a mammoth milling
proposition. Along the hanging
wall there is from three to five
feet of shipping ore. The miners
employed are developing this ore
body and shipments from the prop
erty will soon be started. The prod
uct of the mine is silver-lead ore.
Certain sections of the orebody
Weld high-grade values. The shaft
is at present equipped with steam
hosting plant of 20-horserowar ca
pacity, which will be doubled imme-
diately to facilitate the sinking OF
the. shaft from the 10 to the 600
foot point.

PLEASED WITH
LOCAL OUTLOOK
PRESSED WITH CONDITIONS
PREVAILING IN MINES

c. F. Spilman, after a Nisit in
Goldfield for several days in the in
terest Of the G. S. Johnson company
of San Francisco. left Tuesday
morning for Willard and Rochester.
Before returning to San Francisco
he will go to Grass Valley for
inspection of the Union Hill mine, in
which his company is largely inter-
tested. Mr.. Spilman resided in Gold
field in the early days.
Its good to get back to Gold
field and meet old friends" said Mr..
Spilman on the eve of his departure.
"Goldfield has a place all its own IN
the heart of every man who pio-
neered here. The Goldfield way has
had a wide influence in the lives OF
many of us who have been called
awav. and the old scenes are pictured
in memory's hall. the old friend
shins are unforgotten.
"As to the mines, they are even
better than reports led me to be-
lieve. The Jumbo Extension would
excite any ordinary camp to the point
of hvsteria. and it measures up TO
the high standard established by
Goldfield. The Atlanta is developing
a massive vein of mill ore that means
the employment of a large force OF
miners and the erection OF exten-
sive reduction works. There are
a number Of other mines that nave
splendid prospects and it seems to
me that the camp has prosperous
era ahead of it. One fact should be
kept in mind. that is that Goldheid
is about the only mining camp OF
the west whose stocks are still pop
Mar with the public This condi-
tion makes it certain that money for
development will be available in any
amount when the little differences OF
opinion as to ownership of ore bodies
finally have been adjusted.
