JUMBO EX. AGAIN
SHIPPING DAILY
ORE RESERVES OF PROPERTY
BEING STEADILY PROVEN
LARGER

There is no gainsaying the fact
that the physical condition of the
Jumbo Extension mine is better and
the available tonnage of commercial
ore larger at present than at any
previous period in the entire history
of the property. For several months

apex question was raised by the Re-
organized Booth Mining cOmpany tf
G,ldfield, which point of issue VAS
recently adjusted, d,-the management
of the Jumbo Extension has given it's
attention almost wholly to the furth-
er exploration of the proven ore bod
led and development work, shipping
only sufficient ore as to defray oper-
ating costs. In consequence, the
limits of the older pay shoots have
not or}y been extended but new
bodies of commercial ores have been
revealed and the mine has an ex-
ceedingly promising future,
The management has resumed
shipments at the rate that held sway

future of the mine, as development
work is steadily extending its Jroven
limits. On the level named, the
drift, after revealing continuous
oreshOot for about $50 feet in
length, for which distance assays
averaging $40 per ton were obtained,
is exposing low grade values. 1t has
been temporarily stopped. Above the
drift, however, about the middle of
the shoot a new raise, known as
524-A, was recently started. 1t is
now up 80 feet and is yielding five
feet of SIC ore. Consulting Engineer

CLAIM

Since the recent resumption OF op-
erations by Receiver Carl M. JONAH
son. by authority vested in him by
the federal court at Seattle, Wash,
the Goldfeld Merger Mines company
property has become one OF the
greatest centers of interest IN the
district. This is due to the fact that
the exploratory work being prosecut-
ed in the St. Ives claim by way OF
the 1265-foot level of the Grizzly
Rear mine of the Goldfield Consoli-
dated Mines company is designed TO
prove up the downward extensions OF
the ore bodies that have been opened
up in the adjoining territory OF the
Jumbo Extension Mining company.
Raise 7O3-L is located at point
about 200 feet distant from the
southern boundary line of the Jum-
bo Extension. If the raise or tr1bu-
tary workings reveal the downward
extension of the new ore body whlch

From the deepest or 1O17-foot level
of the Jumbo Extension the distance

boundary line of that property is
approximately 800 feet, which would

ORC WORK GOING
STEADILY AHEAD
ENCOURAGING ASSAYS BEING
OBTAINED IN OPERATIONS
ON 500 LEVEL

Development work is going stead
lily ahead at the property of the
Goldfield ORC Mining company and
results of highly encouraging char
acter are being obtained. General
Manager Thomas F. Manning is con-
fident that present operations will
soon lead to important discoveries,
in which belief he is supported by
other local mining men cOnversant
with conditions in the property.
Work has recently been resumed
in the west crosscut from the main
north drift on the S0O-foOt level at a
point about 20 feet from the shaft,
where there is a promising showing.
The face of the crOsscut is all in
quartz with small stringers that give
assays as high as $40 per ton. The
south drift on the same level Is be-
ing advanced along the latite-shale
contact toward the Laguna mine of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company Encouraging assays are
being obtained. On the 7OO-fOOt
level the west crosscut, now about
$50 feet in length, is penetrating
mineralized zone of quartz and tale
carrying heavy sulphides.

PLEASED WITH

HERMAN ZADIG OF SILVER PICK
CON. MAKES VISIT OF
INSPECTION

Herman Zadig of San Francisco,
president of the Silver Pick COnsoli-
dated Mines company, returned to his
home this morning after two days
visit of inspection to Goldfield and
Tonopah. He expressed himself as
highly pleased with the conditions
prevailing in the two camps.
Mr.. Zadig was especially pleased
with the improved outlook for the
Goldfeld district, in consequence OF
thl tentative agreement entere into
by the parties involved looking to the
settlement of the Goldfeld Merge"
Mines company internal litigation
He was sure that the arrangement
will be ratified by the board of direc-
tors of the company at the forthcom-
ing meeting in San Francisco and
was confident that it will be follow
ed by a general revival of mining in
this district
Following his inspection of the Sill
yer Pick Consolidated, President Ia
dig again voiced his faith in the
"ror0rty and expressed confidence
that the lateral work recently in
augurated on the new 700-fOot level
will result IN the early disclosure of
important bodies of commercial ore.
He stated that the east crosscut on
the new bottom level has been ad-
vanced a distance of about sixty feet.
f is the plan to extend it total of
400 feet, but it is expected that it
will intercept the downward eXten-
sion of the big vein cut in the shaft
at about the 300-foot point. A cross
cut to the west will be started in
the west crosscut on the 500-foot
level, operations in which were sus-
shaft from the 500 to the 70O-foot
level.

ratified.
In line with that agreement, the
directors of the Goldfield Deep Mines
company, the holding corporation of
the Merger company, held a meeting
in Seattle, Wash, last Wednesday
and adopted a resolution calling f."
the dissolution of the former and
the distribution of it's holdings of
stock in the latter to prior owners

parties to the internal dispute, y
