SHIPPING DAILY
CARLOAD OF ORE
ATLANTA NINE HAS BECOME A
STRICTLY COMMERCIAL
PROPOSITION

The production of ore by the At
lanta has assumed the basis of a
strictly commercial proposition. The
development of the ore bodies has
reached stage that permits of ac-
curate calculations as to the month
ly yield of the property; therefore,
it is known to be mine in every
sense of the word The tonnage or
ore in sight is being daily increased
and the mine is fulfilling the most
enthusiastic predictions of it's we'll
wishers. General Manager A. l..
Darcy is at present sending to the
smelters through the Western Ore
Purchasing company so tons of ore
each day. There is every reason to
believe that this daily yield will be
Increased in the near future. The
property is already vieing with many
of the older mines of the district IN
the monthly output of ore.
The yield of the mine continues
to be largely extracted from above
the IO10-A incline raise from the
I750-foot level of the Union Jack
claim and the stope that is being
gotten ..nder way above the arr
drift connecting it with 1OO7-A YER
tical raise at a height of 90 fee.
above the level. Vertical raise
10O7-A is connected with the 1900
foot level Of the Grizzly Bear mine
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company which connection, effected
several weeks ago, has made perfect
the ventilation of the Atlanta work
Jugs and made possible the extensive
operations that are now being prose-
cutcd
The ore body above the new air
drift, from which the stope is be-
ing put up, shows width Of fifteen
feet of rock that breaks down
around $50 per ton. The possibil-
tiles of this ore body can only be
cclijectured but it is safe to say that
it's continued development will win
srelt laurels for the Atlanta. Raise
1O11-A, started from the 1750-foot
level 100 feet south of 1010-A raise,
continues to give a good account OF
itself. 1t is now up about 60 feet
and is yielding about six feet Of ore
averaging around SIS a ton.

JUMBO EXTENSION MEETING
HELD AT PHOENIX, ARIZ.,
HARMONIOUS

According to advices received IN
Goldfield Thursday night from Chas
s. Sprague, vice president and gen
eral manager, the special meeting or
the stockholders of the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company held at
Phoenix, Ariz, in the afternoon,
voted to increase the capital stock
of the corporation 100000 shares,
just enough to make settlement with
the Reorganized Booth Mining COM
pany of Goldfield for apex rights in
accordance with the agreement en-
tered into by the board of directors
of the two companies about a
month ago.
The Jumbo Extension is to receive
from the Booth a deed to all ores
in its territory of veins apexing in
the ground of the latter. Mr..
Spragues wire did not state wheth-
er or not the meeting considered the
possibility of the institution of a
suit by the Merger company for the
recovery of the Velvet claim, the
sale of which to the Jumbo Exten-
sion was primarily responsible for
the Merger court proceedings. Mr.
Sprague stated in his wire that the
meeting was harmonious and that he
held as many proxies as all other
stockholders present combined.

ters in Reno Thursday from San
Francisco after numerous conference
es with representatives of the minor
ity interests of the company, George
Wingfield announced that the inter
nal controversy had practically been
settled. He explained that the de-
tails of the settlement would be
worked out at special meeting of
the board of directors to be held in
the bay city next Friday. after which
they will be announced. Mr.. Wing
field, however, stated that the Reor-
ganized Booth Mining company of
Goldfield, under the arrangement, is
to give the Goldfield Merger Mines
company a side-line agreement for
a stock consideration and that the
board of directors of the latter COM
pany is to be reorganized at the
forthcoming meeting.
Although Mr. Wingfield declined
to discuss further the details of the
tentative basis of settlement decided
upon at the conferences in San Fran
cisco, unofficial advices received
were to the effect that the conferees
agreed that the Merger stock virtu-

SHAFT WORK TO
Be RESUMED SOON
JUMBO EXTENSION NO. 2 SHAFT
WILL BE CONTINUED
TO DEPTH

Within the next few days the man
ageInent of the Jumbo Extension
Mining company will resume at the
4O-foot point the work of enlarging
the old Original Velvet or No g shaft
from two to three-compartment size
to the 400-foot point to which it was
sunk in the early days of the camp.
When this is completed the shaft
will be continued down, full three
compartment size. to connect with
the 1O17-foot and other levels of the
Poleverda shaft. through which all
actual mining operations are at pres
ept conducted by the company.
Foreman l.. l.. Dellinger is at
present giving his attention to sur
face work incident to the resumption
of operations in No. 2 shaft. To af-
ford ample dump room, the collar OF
the shaft has been raised about 20
feet above the surface of the ground.
The big double-drum 100-horsepower
hoist has been installed upon a con-
crete foundation of like height in or
der that it would sit level with the
handling timbers from the ground to
the collar of tho shaft is at present
being built and with its completion
everything will be in readiness for
shaft work. AS the shaft Is acces-
sible to depth of about 100 feee
the work Of enlarging it should pro-
gress rapidly to that depth. From
that point it will be necessary TO
proceed more slowly as the shaft has
caved at few points. 1t is not
known exactly at what depth the
water stands in the shaft but 1t Is
believed to- be around 150 feet. The
management is confident that the
water can easily be handled with
baler and that good progress will be
made in the entire shaft work.
There have been no notable
changes in conditions in the work
ings tributary to the Poleverda shaft.
South drift 524 on the SS0-foot in
termc6iate level Is at present yield
ing about six feet of ore averaging
around $50 per ton. This drift has
thus far been advanced distance Of
approximately 22O feet in the new

is being advanced from the south
drift to intersect the downward ex-
tension Of the new ore body. On the

lNIES HUSIASTICALLY OF
OBSERVATIONS OF LOCAL
PROPERTIES

After a visit of three days u
Gnldlield, during which he made a
close study of conditions prevailing
in tie mines, d. C. Catlin. promi-
nent broker and mining man OF
New York city, departed for Tono-
rah yesterday on his return journey
to his home. He expressed himself
as highly pleased with his observa-
tions and predicted that Golfield is
yet to gain it's greatest fame as a
producer of precious metals.
The litigation at present fnvOlv-
ing several of the biggest mines of
TIE camp" continued Mr.. Catlin, SIS,
indeed, unfortunate. But for that
litigation the camp would now be en-
ioying a great boom and greater ac-
tivity than it has for number of
years, and if it is settled up soon
see NO reason why Goldfield should
not come back Conditions pre-
vailing in the local mines certainly
warrant the investing public in keep
ing an eye on this camp.

GOVERNOR MILLER OF DELLA
WARE AND PARTY NOW in
TONOPAH

M. b. Cutter of MinE eapolis,
Mimi, president of the TOnOpah x
Goldfield railroad, arrived in Gold
field this morning in his private car
for a visit of several days in camp.
He was accompanied here by Barton
Hopes of Philadelphia, who contin-
ued on to Rhyolite on business.
Messrs. Cutter and Hopes, with
Governor Miller of Delaware and
Col. Higbee and J. H. Whitman of
Philadelphia, all of whom are inter
ested in the Tonopah Mining com
pany and other mining properties m
the Wonder district, recently made
visit of inspection to the last
named mine. Col. Higbee, Governor
Miller and Mr.. Whitman left Mr..
Cutters private car at Tonopah this
morning. They will spend day or
two there. On account of delay
experienced in reaching Tonopah,
they will probably not visit Goldfeld
before they return east.

SUNSET MAKING
GOOD SHOWING
MILL. ON PROPERTY STEADILY
INCREASING DAILY TONNAGE
OF ORE

General Manager E. S. Van Dyck
Of the Sunset Mining and Develop
ment company, who is at present
making visit of inspection to the
property near Rhyolite in the Bull
frog district, reports that the mill
is running steadily and doing good
work. 1t is treating at present be-
tween As and SO tons of ore daily
and the tonnage is being steadily in
creased. 1t is the intention Of Man.
ager Van Dyck to work the mill tom
mage up to 100 tons per day.
The value Of the ore now being
treated. as represented by the first
half of this month is about Sc per
ton. The extraction being made is
about 90 per cent. The company's
expenditures amount to approximate
ly $1,000 a month. making the total
cost of mining, milling and devel-
opment 81 per ton.
The yield Of the mine at present
is being drawn from three slopes
above the main tunnel on the Eclipse
and Hobo veins. The ore is being
broken down for widths varying
from four to sixteen feet. Ore is
also being broken in fourth stope
but the output is being stored since
the tonnage is not required by the
mill. Two more Slopes have been
started but work in them has been
suspended until a larger tonnage Is
needed for the mill. The Nelson.
Louisville and Denver veins are not
being explored at present.
