ties. Having perfected a side-line
agreement with the Reorganized
Booth Mining company, as result
of which it will hereafter enjoy i'm
munity from attack under the apex
law, the Lone Star company will
now be enabled to proceed with the
important work that was started
some time ago, near the western ex-
tremity of it's territory.
This work cOntemplates the sink
ing of a shaft to reach the latte
shale contact, which is estimated to
be at a depth of about 700 feet at
this point, and the thorough eXplora-
ton of this contact throughout the
surrounding territory. The shale

of 800 feet, and those in control oil
the property are confident that pay
ore will be found in exploring the
surface of the shale near the new
shaft and at greater depth.
Development work has proceeded
without interruption near the east
end of the property, where the WORK
is conducted from the old Nelligan
lease shaft at a depth of $50 feet.
Strong seams of pay ore were found
nearer the surface by lessees, in the
territory to be explored in this work.
Operations of the Lone Star com
pany are in charge of j. M. Healy,
one of the pioneer mine managers OF
the district, who was superintendent
of the famous Mohawk mine during
the bonanza leasing period, and the
company's consulting engineer is j..
X. Turner, who has Developed the
Jumbo Extension property from
prospect of little apparent value TO
one of the important gold producers
of the country. The company's op-
erations have been literally financed
and development work will proceed
with all possible energy.
The permanent side-line agreement
with the Booth company was secured
for a consideration of the nominal
sum of only 81, which sum was
promptly paid to the treasurer OF
the Booth company by Charles 5.
Sprague, on behalf of the Lone Star
company. The agreement was made
on these terms owing to the fact
that the territory embraced within
the extended end planes OF the
Booth property, in which extra
lateral rights are claimed by the
company, takes in only an exceed
ingly small area of Lone Star ground
which is not regarded as being OF
any particular value.

FAMOUS MINING
ENGINEER HERE
HIGH AUTHORITY INSPECTS 10
CAL MINES ON HIS RETURN
FROM ENGLAND

T. A. Rickard, mining engineer and
technical publicist of international
reput alton, has been in Goldtiald,
having returned within the month
from London, where he went six
years ago to establish the Mining
Journal, which has become high
ly successful publication under his
management. Mr.. Rickard is chief
owner and publisher and was for
many years editor of the Mining
and Scientific Press of San Fran
cisco, and is returning to again as
sumo the editorship of that journal,
with the intention of remaining in
this country Indefinitely. His chief
interest remains in the latter jour
nal, and his object is now to extend
the scope of it's usefulness and to
further improve it's already high
standard.
The chief purpose of Mr.. Richard
in his visit to Goldfield, is to famil-
iariZe himself with conditions here
and to get in touch with current de-
velopments. He visited the camp
some eight years ago, when the
boom was in full swing, and rs a
consequence his publication devoted
much attention to operations here
and was an important factor in
disseminating news of the camp.
In an interview today Mr.. Rickard
said to the Goldfield News and Trib-
une that he regarded as significant
and as highly important to the dis
trict the proof that the main lode
exends along the latite-shale contact
and into the shale. In his opinion
this discovery opens great possibili.
ties for finding deposits of pay ore
on the dip into the shaIe. He re-
CARDS as deplorable the fact that this
development should have been asso-
ciated with litigation, but is i'm
pressed with the good prospects for
future production. In company
with Consulting Engineer Albert
Burch of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. Mr. Rickard went
through the mines of that company
last night, and with Superintendent
Lou Dellinger ne inspected the work
ings of the Jumbo Extension COM
pany today.

SANDSTONE TO

WORK WILL CONTINUE TO GAIN
IN DEPTH FOLLOWING
THE BIG VEIN

Sandstorm-K Kendall Consolidated
is preparing to extend it's develop
ment work to considerably greater
depth than has yet been attained on
the property. For some time past
the work has been confined to the
$50 end 500-foot levels, sinking III
the winze having been temporarily
suspended several months ago as
proper equipment for this work was
not available at the time. A sup
,lene ntary hoist has been installed
at the top of the winze, in the main
east crosscut on the 5OO-foot leVel'
and sinking will now proceed, fol-
loving the incline of the great
vein.
All the point where this winZe was
started, from the 50O-foot level, a
seam of ore about 1S inches in width
and averaging $44 per ton was ex-
posed and in sinking the winze to
a depth of so feet from this lever
the ore appeared at many points, but
in irregular quantity. The veln
which is about 70 feet in width, is
pronounced by experts on geology to
be one of the most promising IN
point of construction known to min
ing men of the district, and those
who have at any time been identified
with the Sandstorm company have
the utmost confidence in this prop
ertv making a valuable mine with
further development at depth.
On the 35O-foot level the work mas
consisted of driving along the con-
tact between rhyolite and andesite
and in crosscutting the country. In
this contact many small deposits OF
exceedingly rich ore have been
found in the past and as the chaD-
mel extends for some 5000 feet
through the company's ground it is
| believed that there are good oppor-
tunities for finding larger deposits
of this character of ore. On the
500 level the conditions are regard
ed as promising, as strong seams OF
nav ore have been found in develop
| ment at this depth.

20 to "a inches in width yielded an
average of about SIS per ton in gold
and silver. The shipment about to

DEVELOPMENT WORK CONTlN-
CES TO EXPOSE LARGE
DEPOSITS OF ORE

A new raise has been started in
the Jumbo Extension mine, from
the south drift on the 1017-foot
level, which has reached the farthest
point to the south at which the min
eralized zone Las been exposed For
some distance the drift has contin-

es from the 1917 level at several
points. The new raise is being driv-
en- for the purpose of reaching the
latte hanging wall of the contact
channel and determining the width
of vein matter here.
1t is apparent that this drift is
coming out in the true shale-latite
contact as the formation in which
it is now progressing has all the
characteristics of the contact, show
ing the silicified latte inseparable
from the contact formation. AS the
dip of the shale underlying the fis-
sure is very flat and as the more
important deposits of richer ore are
invariably found above a wide layer
of lower grade, silicified shale or
uuartzite, it was decided to raise at
this point for the hanging wall, to
determine if the shale fold extends
to this distance.
The results of development work
throughout this territory point to the
certainty that the rich ore will be
found above this lower grade ma
terial, extending to the south near
the boundary line between the Vel
vet and Paloverde claims. If the
ore is found here in quantity and
quality even remotely approximating
the conditions on the B and G levels,
the opening of the ore body will add
available reserves valued at $1,000
900 to the present visible resources
of the mine.
Another raise has just been start
ed from the southwest drift on the
ID level, known as the 522 drift,
which has progressed for consider
able distance in the big quartz fis-
sule in the shale and which has con-
tinued to show large quantities of
ore of excellent milling grade, to-
gether with some smelling ore. This
raise is designed to determine the
width of the quartz in the fissure
and the conditions at the hanging
wall, and will be extended through
the everything fold of shale to reach
the latte contact.
