the contact, driven from the drift on
the 1265-foos level, in the extreme
north end of the st. Ives claim. AS
soon as the width and character of
the contact area are determined at
this point drifts will be extended
east and west from the raise, follow
ing a course parallel with the south
end-line of the Paioverde claim of
the Jumbo Extension. The Jumbo
orebody appears to be heading di-
rectly toward this part of the Mer-
ger territory, and there are strong
hopes that the continuation of the
big Jumbo bonanza will be found
here.
Recognized Kewanas
Drifts are bein gadvanced along
the shale contact in the Kewanas
property, at a depth of $40 feet, and
both to the northwest and south
east of the working station these
drifts have continued in quartz of
good appearance, yielding low as
says in gold. At the north the drift
is following the line of a fault or
f~issure, extending into the shale in
much the same manner as that
found in the Jumbo Extension, but
here the fissure enters the shale at
an angle more near the p~erpendicu-
lar. The plans of Manager Darcy
contemplate the thorough explora-
ton of the contact by mean of
drifts and crosscuts, and later raises
will be driven to further prospect
this territory.
Lone Star Consolidated
Development continues nea the
east end of the large property of
the Lone Star company, where seams
of good ore have been found in the
past. At the annual meeting of
stockholders of the company, held
Thursday in Goldfield, a board of
directors was chosen, composed of
w. w. Watterson, M. @. Watterson,
Charles S. Sprague, j. S. Hender-
son and Carroll Henderson. The
company's consulting engineer is j.
K. Turner and the superintendent

SandstOrm-Kendal Con.
The announcement has just been
made that sinking will be resumed
at nee in the Sandstorm-Kendall
property, at a depth of $50 feet.
When work at this point was sus-
pended there was a highly encourag-
ing showing and at the point where
the Wine a started, from the long
east cross-cut, a seam of ore IS
inches in width and assaying $44
per ton was exposed. The company
is making tests of it's surface placer
ground, with good results.
Goldfield Great Bend
Operations on a comprehensive
scale are now being started on the
Great Bend property, in the Dia-
mondfield part of the district, and
there is promise of a substantial
production from this ground. New
equipment, including a powerful
compressor, machine drills, air re-
ceiver and pumping plant, will be in.
stalled within the next fortnight,
having already been ordered from
San Francisco. The development
work has been planned by J.. K.
Turner, the cOmpany's consulting
engineer, and will be under the per-
sOnal direction of Jack Campbell,
one of the successful mine operators
of the early days in GOldfield. The
small mill on the property, erected

Combination Fraction
Lessees operating On the south
end of the Combination Fraction
have exposed ore of shipping grade
in good quantity, in the north extern
sion of the new Florence vein, from
which the latter company is now
producing. The lessees are raising
from the 250-foot level to further
prospect the vein.
Silver Pick Consolidated
The main shaft of the Silver Pick
company has been sunk to a depth
of 700 feet, making rapid progress
to this depth, and a large working

this depth. superintendent Walter
Norris will at once start a crosscut
to the west to reach the large vein
that was penetrated and ~prospected
to some extent on the 500-foOt lev
ell.
ReOrganiZed Booth
The new foot-wall drift on the 500
foot level of the Booth mine con
tinues to expose ore of good mill
ing grade and a product that can be
treated here by simple milling pro-
cesses. Manager Darcy stated to
the Goldfield News and Tribune that
he has been obtaining some excellent
assays in drifts and raises on the
$50 and 5OO-fOOt levels of the mine
