BLACK BUTTE IN
BIG VEIN ON 300
CONDITIONS SHOW GREAT M
PROVEMENT UNDER DEVEL-
OPMENT in PROGRESS

Developments that are regarded
as of great significance are reported
by Manager A. j. Canavan, on the
property of the Diamondfield Black
Butte Reorganized company. On the
3OO-foot level a crosscut driven to
the southeast has penetrated the
hanging wall of the vein that was
opened on the 100-foot level and
from which, above that depth, an i'm
portant production of high-grade
shipping ore was made during the
early days of the camp. At this
depth the vein is in dacite, the lat
ter formation replacing the andeslte
that forms the country rock nearer
the surface.
The crosscut has penetrated the
vein for a distance of IL feet, with
no foot-wall yet exposed, and the
face is showing seams of tale In the
quartz and silicified dacite. the en-
tire face yielding assays from $2 to
IS in gold. The vein Is shown TO
have a northeasterly trend, dipping
to the northwest. 1t is readily cor
related with the vein exposed on the
1OO-foot level.
In the opinion of Manager Canavan'
who has a wide knowledge OF the
geology of the district, this may be
regarded as the most important de-
velopment that has been made in the
,Diamondfield part of the district In
a long time. He regards all indica-
.tions here as highly encouraging ana

the early discovery of a commercial
orebody.

deyelopment has shown the veins
to be greatly broken and displaced
by fault action, while on the 3oo-1oot
level there is evidence that fault in
fluence is much less pronounced and
that a greater degree of uniformity
in vein structure and in continuity
of the veins may be expected. This
development has established the
downward continuation of the vein
and this is the deepest point at which
the vein has been cut.
There is no longer any question
of the vein "going down. and as
the horizontal displacement at tnls

in future the policy of the manage

to the 3O0-foot level.

SINKING OF WINE IN
SANDSTONE UNDER WAY

General Manager A. I. Darcy an
nounces that good headway is being
made in the winze below the 500
foot level of the Sandstornl-Kerdail
Consolidated, the sinking of which
below the 50-foot point was resumed
recently. The accumulated water in
the winze and east crosscut from the
'5O-foot point was about week ago
entirely drawn off with pnmn and
a 20-horsepower electric auxiliary
hoist has been installed to facilitate
the sinking operations.

LARGE DEPOSITS OF ORE CAN
BE TREATED AT SMALL
EXPENSE

A force of miners has been des
patched to the Gold Mountain dis
trict to begin work on the Nevada
Empress property, now owned by
the Nevada Cooperative Mines
company and situated in the western
part Of the district, some 40 miles
southwest of GOldfield. The prop
erty was developed to some extent
several years ago, but became in
volved in litigation under the Slls
management and was acquired by
purchase several months ago, by
Charles S. Sprague and assc
ciates for the Nevada COOPERATIVE
Mines company.
j. X. Turner, the cOmpany's con-
sulting engineer, has carefully eX-
amined and sampled the property
and has prepared plans for develop
ment on a broad and comprehensive
scale. Work will be conducted
through adits, five of which have

ATLANTA MAKING
GOOD SHOWING
RAISE AND DRIFT BEING EN-
TENDED INTO GRIZZLY
BEAR CLAIM

With four carloads or approximate
ly 200 tons of ore to it's credit thus
far this month, the Atlanta Mines
company will make fifth shipment
to the smelters through the Western
Ore Purchasing company in the next
day or two. More than fifty tons of
ore is at present in the shaft bins
and will be emptied into a car for
shipment within the time named.
These shipments furnish an excellent
commentary upon the conditions pre-
vailing in the mine.
With the exception that two work
irgs are being extended into the
south half of the Grizzly Bear claim
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, upon which, below the
140O level, it holds lease, there has
been little change in the operations
being prosecuted by the Atlanta man.
