MINING REVIEW

UNNECESSARILY increases the poten-
tialities of the mine, particularly the
Velvet claim section. Raise 5O3-D
was put up from the 1017-foot level
east crosscut at a point $50 feet east
of the eastern boundary line of the
Poleverda claim or sixty feet east OF
vertical raise 503-C. In the former
raise, the ore body was disclosed at
a height of forty feet, as stated
above, which was only two feet low
er than it was exposed by the latter
raise. 1t is clearly evident from
these figures that the ore body lies
very flat and that considerable ad-
ditional prosecuting would be re-
quired to reveal it on the 1017-foot
level proper. In commenting upon
the conditions prevailing in the va
rious workings which are yielding
daily shipments of one hundred tons
of ore, it is sufficient to say that the
management expects the net profits
of the December output, when set
Elements are obtained from the
shelters, to equal those of Novem-
Der, which exceeded 100000.
Atlanta Mines.
Atlanta continues the main sup
port of the Jumbo Extension in up
holding the Goldfield list in the min
ing share markets. Although under
the most adverse conditions, the ex-
p~loration of the big vein on the l.
750-foot level of the Union Jack
claim is being prosecuted with all
possible despatch by the company.
Fortunately the flow of water
from the workings, the principal de-
terent factor in the development
work since the inception of the ex-
%ploration of the ground, is setadily
decreasing, it having reduced fully
one-third in volume within the last
three weeks.
No official news as to the property
has been given out since the issuance
the early part of the week of a state
ment upon conditions prevailing at
that time by President George Wing
field. The statement was to the eff
feet that the north drift along the
latte : shale contact was being ad-
vanced on two feet of $50 ore but
that the face was exposing only a part
of the streak being followed, a sharp
turn in the shale footwall having
caused the drift to partly penetrate
the latite-shale hanging wall. Mr..
Wingfield further stated that the
roof of the prospect raise above the
drift, started at a point twenty feet
from the branch west crosscut, was
exposing nine feet of ore, three feet
of which assayed $50 per ton, the
remainder being mill grade rock. The
mixed yield of the two workings, he
announced, showed average values of
$23 per ton. Considerable pay ore
has accumulated from the drift and
raise work and it is probable that a
shipment from the property will be
made in the near future.
Recognized Kewanas.
Stringers of quartz carrying nc
values are being cut by the vertical
winze being sunk below the 700-foot
level of the property of the Reorgan-
lied Kewanas Mining company,
which is being operated by way of a
9O0-foot east crosscut from the La
guna shaft of the Goldfield Consol-
idates Mines company. The winze is
now down about ninety feet and is
expected to reveal the latite-shale
contact, the objective point, at a
lo,xlo 90 z fo@% l@-, A. ~,- s.
the orosscut or a vertical depth from
the surface of $50 feet. The winze
is being sunk two-compartment size
and should reach the contact the lat
ter part of this month.
Lone Star Con.
The Lone Star Consolidated is
rapidly completing preparations in
cident to the inauguration of the ex-
tensive campaign of development
work that has been outlined for the
future development of the vest ter
ritory. The new main working
shaft on the Lazy George claim, the
extreme southwestern section of the
property, has been enlarged from two
to three compartment size to the
depth of forty feet, to which it was
sunk in the early days of the camp.
A fifteen horsepower gasoline hoist
is being placed on the shaft. 1t will
be supplanted by a d~oubledrum cleo
trio outfit of at least seventy-five
horsepower as soon as the shaft has
attained a depth of 200 feet. The
old Nelligan shaft. which was sunk
to 4 depth of $50 feet several years
ago on the eastern section of the
ground, is also being equipped with
a fifteen horsepower gasoline hoist.
Operations at this shaft. for the
present at least, will be confined to
