DRIFTS TO CONTACT
CONDITIONS ARE BELIEVED FA-
VORABLE FOR DEVELOPING
PAY ORE

For a distance of over $40, feet
the north drift of the Kewanas, at
a depth of $40 feet, has followed the
trend Of the vein exposed by a cross
cut 200 feet north of the main
working station, and has shown ore
of varying grade for this entire dis
lance. This ore varies in quality, but
it is believed by Manager Darcy
that a considerable quantity can
eventually be stopped and shipped at
a profit, while there is a large ton
mage of lower grade material that
may be treated here successfully
when facilities are provided.
The north drift and east cross
cut are being advanced with a view
to cutting the shale contact zone.
which must be penetrated at no
great distance in either direction.
since it has been found at less depth
in adjacent properties in both direc-
tions. The cross-cut farther north
continues in a highly silicified for
nation, indicating that it is within
4 short distance of the contact zone
and may at any time reach the shale
at point where conditions should
be favorable for finding ore.

TONNAGE OF LOW GRADE
MILL ORE

Ore of shipping grade is being
lent from the Atlanta mine to the
sampler of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company at the rate of :
carload every other day. While the
product is not of high grade, it is
yiel ding fair profit and conditions
in the stopes on the 1880 and 1920
foot levels, from which this ore is
taken, afford ground for the hope
that a considerable qauntity OF prof.
liable ore can be produced here.
Development work between the
1880 and 175O-foot level continues
to block out large areas of lower
grade, copper-bearing ore, and it is
believed that this material can be
treated successfully by flotation.
Work in the winZe below the 100
foot level has been suspended for
the present, as additional pumping
: ABILITIES will he required to permit
of making good progress at greater
depth. With a local market for its
'ow-grade product the Atlanta will

BONANZA 0REB0DY FOUND
IN PIONEER CONSOLIDATED

A discovery has beeii m.de in the
Pioneer Consolidated company's
mine, so miles south O. GoidIield,
at camp of Pioneer, which is ap-
parently the most important in point
of value in the history of the prop
erty, surprising in the volume Of
rich ore the deposit mined from the
famous Bonanza stope. The ore ap-
Bonanza deposit and was exposed In
driving to the northwest on the
170-foot level, from the old work
ings.
Some ten days ago the drift began
to show ore of good grade and the
Improvement has been marked with
each successive days work at this
point. Thorough samplings of the
face of the orebody have been made
Independently by three men exper-
fenced in mine sampling and all
nave shown ore of uniformly hign
grade for a considerable width.
j. X. Turner, the company's con-
sulting engineer and superintendent
of the Jumbo Extension mine, has
just completed an exhaustive sam
ping of the orebody and his report
to President William j. Tobin estab-
fishes the fact that the OrebOdy is
of bonanza value and proportions.
Engineer Turner states in his re-
port that in extending the work
northwest from the Bonanza stOp3,
on the 170-foot level, a face of ore
12 feet by feet in extent has been
exposed In order to thoroushly
sample this ore, the face was di-
vided by Mr. Turner into sections,
first into halves, horizontally, ana
then dividing the upper and lower
portions into sections three by five
feet in size. All samples in both
horizontal sections were taken across
a width of five feet, vertically.
A sample from the first upper

$223.2O per ton; the third three
feet gave $142 per ton, and the
fourth three feet gave 500 per ton.
The first lower three feet, from

A preliminary investigation Of the
alunite possibilities in the region

POTASH INVESTIGATIONS
IN VICINITY OF GOLOF|ElD

Nevada. The report of Prof. F. l..
Ransome, head of the western field
operations of the geological survey,
detailing the results of his examina-
ton of this geologic division i'll
19O5-19O6, showed that samples Of
alunite taken in this region con-
tanned a high percentage of potash
salts, but the recovery of potash
from this source was not considered
profitable, at the then prevailing
price for the product.
The European war has effectually
cut off all importation of potash
from Germany, whence this country
formerly derived practically its EN-
tire supply, and the price of the COM
mercial salts has advanced from
around $35 per ton to over $500 per
ton, a. greater relative advance than
has been recorded for any other
mineral product. The embargo
placed upon the shipment of potash
by the German government renders
it most unlikely that shipments VIII
be resumed to this country for some
time following the end of the war,
and it is therefore believed that the
demand, which has reached an acute
stage in this country, will sustain
the price at high figure for con-
siderable period.
Production of the common potash
salts. used in the agricultural and
chemical industries in this country,
is at present not more than 40 tons
daily. In normal years imports have
approximated 100000 tons of con-
centrated salts, and it is estimated
that the present shortage IN the
American market is no less than
100000 tons. The new plant at
Marysvale, Utah, is producing rel
atively small quantity OF the salts
from aIunite and there is promise
that the Searles Lake enterprise, in
San Bernardino county will begin
producing at the rate of 200 tons
daily of low-grade material in the
spring.
1t is stated that in case the tests
to be made by Prof. Free demon-
strate the presence OF an adequate
supply of potash-bearing alunite Il"
this region, the men with whom Mr.
Barndt is associated will at once
proceed to erect a plant of substan'
tial capacity in the Goldfield district,
when production will be assembled
for treatment here and a general

T|PT0P MINE IN
LARGE 0RtB0DY
RENO MEN MEET WITH SUCCESS
IN OPENING UP OLD
PROPERTY

The successful rehabilitation of
an old and long-abandoned mining
property is being effected in high
" successful manner in the case of
the old Tiptop mine, according to I.
f. Bonneau of Reno, who has been
in Goldfield this week inspecting the
property of the New Goldfield Sim
mercne company, of which he is q
director. The TiptOp mine has been
acquired by new company, known
as the Louisiana Mining company,
OF which Walter f. Trent is presl-
dent, T. F. Bonneau vice president
ard George X. Elder secretary and
treasurer The company is close
corporation, composed chiefly OF
Reno men.
The property has been equipped
with a compressor ami machine
drills and eight men are now en-
ployed. Development work mas peeh
i'm progress for the past three
months, with results that are re-
garded as insuring the success OF
the enterprise. The company has
1O-stamp mill and cyanide plant
on the ground, capable of treating
from 70 to over 100 tons daily, -ac-
cording to the character of Gre sup
piled.
In early operations the T1ptop
mine produced ore of shipping grade
to the value of over $1SO,0O0, but
this ore was stopped only from the
12O-foot level to the surface and
no greater depth was attained in
development. Sinking is now in
progress and the shaft has reached
a depth of 26O feet. At the 800
foot level cross-cuts will be driv-
en-. The main vein is of large di-
mensions. averaging fully 80 feet In
width. and for this entire width it

ORE-SHOOT HAS BEEN FOl1l~O"
ED TO POINT BELOW 100

According to officials of the new
Goldfield Simmerone Mining COM
nanv the condition of the property
at present offers much encourage
ment. The drift on the l0O-foot
level has reached the ore-channei
exposed in intermediate workings
above this depth and while the ore
is not of sufficient width at this point
to Justify shipping in any appre-
ciable quantity, the rich seams are
prestn here yielding paintings
that show liberal quantities oil

width and favorable character.
Within the past week the vein
has been followed downward Tor
short distance below the 1OO-foot
level, where it is shown to main
tain it's width and uniformly high
degree of naturalization. With the
arrival here of T. F. Bonneau, one
of the directors of the company, 1t
was decided to at once proceed to
continue the drift on the 25O-foot
level to the vein. At this depth
the workings are in latte and the
drift has already progressed for "
feet in the direction of the o
shoot and will require mot more
than so feet additional driving, to
the mine surveys.

COLO MOUNTAIN
LEASE GETS ORE
WORK ON BUTTE GOLDFlEl4D
PROPERTY MEETING WITH
GOOD RESULTS

Bringing number of samples of
high-grade ore from deposit they
have opened recently. w. T. Hargrove
and A. j. Cormack have arrived IN
Goldfield from the Gold Mountain
district, where they are working the
Butte Goldfield property under
lease. On the main tunnel level, as
we'll as in an intermediate drift be-
low the tunnel, ore of excellent
grade has been exposed.
A carload of this ore will be
shipped by January 10 and the
lessees are negotiating with a view
to installing a compressor and work
ing their ground upon a more ex-
tended scale.
At a point in the main tunnei,
where a depth of 400 feet from the
surface is afforded, the lessees have
exposed an ore-shoot varying from
one foot to Is inches in width and
averaging in value around 800 pei
ton. A drift extended from a winze,
80 feet below the tunnel level, has
exposed ore feet inches in width
and yielding average assays of $61
per ton This ore is steel galena,
while on the tunnel level the richest
ore is a sand carbonate, both con-
tanning gold, silver, lead and cop
per.
Ore of shipping grade is now ex-
posed at several points, in the tunnel
and in other workings, and there is
reason to believe that highly
profitable production of shipping
ore can be made. The lease is for a
period of two years and embraces
the entire property and workings Of
the Butte Goldfield company. from
which ore of high grade has been
taken in earlier operations. An av-
erage sampling of some of the ore
lately gave returns of SO per ton
gold. IS per cent copper and the re-
mainder of the total value of about
$50 in silver and lead.

The orebody. according to the
statement of Mr. Turner appears
to be lying nearly flat, with slight
dip into the mountain, and it is rec.
ommended that in further develop
ing the vein, raises be driven from
the northwest cross-cut on the $50

will reduce the cost of production
and will obviate any danger from
caving in the old Bonanza stope.

DUCED by NEED FOR HAND
LING LOW-GRADE

During the month of November
the Jumbo Extension company han
died large tonnage of low-grade
material, which had the effect of
cutting down it's net earnings for
the month to about one-half the
normal figure. The shipping of this
low-g grade product was found ex-
pedient in the cause of ultimate
economy and it is officially stated
that production will hereafter be
mainta. lod at about the volume of
previous months.
Preliminary estin ates for Novem-
Der show an output of 2654.5S dry
tons. with gross value placed at
$4,000. Expenses for freight,

than the eve age fer the preceding
five months, rut the grade of o"e
was lower.
On the deeper levels of the mine,
at points where the richest ore has
been stopped. there still remained
large quantities of medium and low
grade material that could have
been timbered and preserved for flu
ture extraction only at great ex-
pense, as the ground at these points
swells and caves to such an extent
that it can be held only by the
heaviest and most costly timbers.
Greater economy is therefore secur-
ed in extracting and shipping this
product, at one operation, and in
back-filling the abandoned portions
of the Slopes, thus relieving the
hoisting plant of the necessity for
handling much waste and permit
ting of the abandonment of stripped
workings. while eliminating all
danger of future caving.
The mine is in excellent condition,
as indicated by the daily assay re-
turns from the sampling of all

REVIEW 0F mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

the treatment of the refractory ores
of TIE district, and two plants, on
the Consolidated and Florence
properties, will be in working order
shortly and will afford complete
demonstration of the possibilities Of
this process here. In the opinion of
experts. there can be no doubt or
the ultimate success of this process.
Investigations conducted by ex-
perts in the region tributary to Gold
field indicate that this camp may
become the center of an important
potash producing and marketing in
dustry. Deposits of alunite, con-
tanning potash in commercial quan.
tity, are known to exist in this ter
ritory and it now remains only TO
determine the presence of suffi-
cient tonnage to warrant the erec-
tion of a refining plant here. If the
tests now being made are satisfac-
tory, a plant will be erected in Gold
field by wealthy interests that have
already expended large sums in the
search for this material, and pro-
duction will be assembled for treat
ment and marketing here. There
is promise of further important de-
velopment work in the big copper
belt south of Goldfield.
GOldfield Consolidated
The usual large tonnage is being
treated by the 100-stamp mill of the
Goldfield Consolidated company,
and whilo a lower grade product is
now being handled, the operations
of the company are yielding large
profits. 1t is said that the COM
pany is clearing up all it's available
low-grade, free-milling ore, before
making any changes in the big mill,
and conserving the copper-bearins'
refractory ores for treatment by
flotation or some modified form OF
that process, to be determined by
tests now being made. The COM
pany is now installing equipment
for a 3O-ton experimental unit, and
this plant should be in operation
within 60 days The mines of the
Consolidated company are said g
contain a vast tonnage of this ore,
which is not suited to successful
treatment by cyanidation.
Jumbo Extension
Earnings of the Jumbo Extension
company in November were consid-
erably less than for several months
past owing to the necessity for min
ing a larger tonnage of low-grade
material, which was shipped just as
hoisted, together with the ore OF
better grade. This method is adopt-
ed in order to avoid handling the
product twice and to permit OF
back-filling and abandoning slopes
where costly timbering would other
wise be required to prevent caving.
The November production was 2654
dry tons, of a gross value of approx
imately $4,000 and net value OF

While no notable discoveries have
marked the weeks operations in the
mines of the GCldfleld district, there
has been no lack of interesting news
in connection with progress in de-
velopment and prospects for ex-
tending the scope of operations and
increasing the districts output. The
performance of much dead work and
the necessity for handling ore OF
low grade have lately tended to re-
duce the volume of gold production,
but these conditions are regard
ed as only temporary and work at
a number of points is serving to
block out ore of good grade, in
large quantity, for future extrac-
tion.
