the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany and secretary and treasurer of
the Charles S. Sprague company, Is
seriously ill at his home in New
York. A telegram received by Mr..
Sprague this morning from Arthur
Schwaikert stated that his brother
was a nervous wreck and on the
verge of collapse. The sick man is
being attended by his wife and two
trained nurses.
According to the message, Mr.. Sch
waikert's physicians have diagnosed
his ailment as a complication of dis
eases of the internal organs that have
caused his blood to almost turn to
water inducing delirious attacks. Mr.
Schwaikert, while resident OF
Goldfield, resided in the former
Brewer home on Crook street. He
spent his last vacation in the west at
Lake Tahoe during the summer Of
1918.

is estimated that the yield this month
will total 800 tons.
Drifting south continues on he

Consolidated lease territory from a
west crosscut from the main north
drifa. The drift now has a length
of approximately IT'S feet on the
vein opened up several months ago.
The face is at present penetrating a
crushed and shattered area which is
yielding only small values. Stop

The stope has a height at present

the ledge apparently on a cross vein.
The stope is exposing three feet OF
ore that gives average assays of $2S

On the 350-foot level, what Super
intendent Clapp believes is the down
ward extension of the new vein, first
exposed on the 250-foot level, has
been revealed by an east crosscut

From the long east crosscut on the
1O17-foot level, good headway is
being made in the extension OF the
north drift on the vein which was
revealed on that level Immediately
prior to the recent temporary sus-
