REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDFIELD DISTRICT

At many points in the Goldfield,
district development work of COM
prehensive scope is making good
progress and prospects for the open
ing of new producers are daily
growing brighter. Deep shafts are
being sunk and preparations being
made for thoroughly exploring the
shale contact in a dozen or more
places, while the character of the
mining equipment in use and the lib
eral financial backing available af-
ford assurance that the work will be
carried on vigorously and until sue
cess is attained. In the light of
developments at the shale contact
within recent months the managers
of local mining enterprises feel that
they have a guide almost certain to
lead to important discoveries in
the near future and almost every
working company will endeavor to
reach this contact without delay.
Local production has increased
materially during the past few
months and apparently is destined
to continue its substantial growth
with the opening up of properties
now in process of development, and
with the further blocking out of ore
bodies already exposed. So we'll
founded does the promise of in
creased production appear that the
Western Ore Purchasing company,
product from mining camps through
out the state, has lately remodeled
and placed in commission it's local
sampler, installing new equipment
and giving it a caracity of $50 tons
daily The reopening of this plant
for the sampling of ores from this
and adjacent district affords a mar
ket for the product of mining prop
critics that would have difficulty in
marketing their ores at distant
points. The properties in the dis
trict that have exposed ore continue
to show steady improvement under
development and others should
reach the known ore-bearing zones
in the near future.
GOldfield Consolidated
The usual large production is be-
ing maintained by the properties of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, with the big mill treating
upwards of $50 tons daily, and the
average grade of the product is bet
ter than for some time past. The
Mohawk mine continues to supply
the largest tonnage of the better
grade of ore, while a regular ex-
traction of pay ore is being made
from the Clermont, Laguna, Combi-
nation and Grizzly Bear shafts, some
of the copper-bearing ore from the
last named being shipped to the
smelters for treatment. The big
Lidgerwood galloway, by means Of
which the tailings from the great
pond below the mill will be trans
ported back to the mill for treat
ment, is nearly completed and will

KEWANAS EXTENSION
PAYS INDEBTEDNESS
WORK MAY BE RESUMED IN
PROPERTY CENTRALLY
LOCATED

Plans are now being formulated
the Kewanas Extension property.
which consists of a fractional claim,
about IA acres of patented ground,
lying between and adjoining the Ke-
wanas and Goldfield Orc properties.
Funds have been realized lately,
through the sale of treasury stock,
to pay off all the cOmpany's in
debtedness and leave it in condition
to conduct further development
work. The property is attracting
some interest by reason of the deep
development work in progress on the
Kewanas and Orc and from the fact
that the former will soon begin to
explore the shale contact in a di-
rectiOn toward the Kewanas Ex-
tension.
A shaft was sunk by this company
in the early days of the camp to a
depth of 500 feet, on the Kewanas
property and near the Extension
boundary, the Extension having had
a lease at the time on this part OF
the Kewanas property. The Exten-
sio2 company still owns the equip
ment at iiiis shaft and 1t is said that
arrangements can be made to usa the
shaft in developing the Kew- mas Ex-
tension ground is this course is
deemed desire Bile.

CUPR|TE SHAFT
GOES TO DEPTH
ON k-S-E PROPERTY IN THE
SOUTH

Development is progressing stead
lily in the Cuprite district, IA miles
south of Goldfield, on the Kurigen-
Smith-Evans property, situated a
short distance west of the railroad,
and the men in charge of the work
are greatly encouraged over the re-
suits obtained in sinking. A vein of
excellent character was penetrated
in performing some lateral work on
the 164-foot level, but it was believ-
ed that better results would be OBJ
tanned at greater depth and the shaft
is now being sunk with the object of
exploring the vein on lower levels.
From the dip of the vein, as exposed
on the 164 level, it is believed that
it will be penetrated by the shaft at
a depth of about 2S0 feet, which
point will probably be reached with
in the next 80 days.
A change that is regarded as fa-
which has entered the gray-green
metamorphic rock indicative of for
nations in which ore occurs in the
district Manager w. s. Evans and
his associates are confident that ore
will be found in commercial quantity
when the vein is explored at great
er depth and no effort will be spared
to gain this depth at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Mr.. Evans is leaving for Milwau-
kaa whore he will confer with his
associates in the financing of the en-
terprise. and will return shortly.
while the work will proceed without
interruption under the direction of
Superintendent George Smith. While
in the east Mr.. Evans and his asso-
ciates will discuss the future policy
with regard to the development of
the Jupiter group, at Cuprite, which
they purchased some time ago and
upon which there is highly encour-
aging surface showing.

FRACTION MAY BENEFIT
FROM FLORENCE STRIKE

1t is regarded in some quarters as
likely that the Combination Fraction
property will be benefited by the
discovery made in the northern part
of the Florence GOldfield property.
The vein in which shipping ore of
good grade is now being stopped by
the Florence, has been followed by
drift on the 250-foot level to the
Fraction boundary and is shown to
enter the latter property and to be
of promising character at this point.
1t is reported that lease has been
granted on this part of the Frac-
tiOn.

FLORENCE ORE
HOLDING WELL
NEW DEPOSIT Is OF LARGE Dl-
MENSIONS AND EXCELLENT
GRADE

Shipping ore of good grade is be-
ing broken in the new stope of the
Florence Goldfield and at one point
the stope is ) feet in width. The
new vein, penetrated about two
months ago on the 250-foot level and
in the northern part of the property,
is proving to De most valuable dis
covery made in the Florence in sew
eral years and gives promise of
yielding a large and profitable pro.
duction. Supt. II. b. Clapp reports
the ore to be holding up well III

crosscut on the 350-foot level to
cut the vein at a point below the
new stOpe. This work is now
within about so feet of the vein.
From the crosscut that first pene-
ell, drifts have been extended north
and south, the north drift having
reached the boundary line of the
Combination Fraction. Near the
crosscut raise was driven from the
drift and has progressed over 65
feet on the incline of the vein and
the top of this raise still shows three
feet of ore averaging 500 per ton.
The new stope was started from this
raise just above the drift on the $50
level, and at the point where it was
started the ore shoot for width of
four feet. assayed $136 per ton. A
carload is being shipped eevry 9TH
er day.
At the other points. in opening
his stope, wide faces of excellent
ore have been exposed, width of
four feet in one place yielding assays
of over $500 per ton. A second
raise was started about 100 feet
south of the first and another cross
cut is &eing driven on the 250-foOt
level to reach the vein about 800
feet south of the first crosscut. The
vein lies in a block Of virgin terri

ed to be at depts here of between

LONE STAR CON.
ATTAINING DEPTH
WORK BEING CARRIED ON IN
TWO SHAFTS ON BIG
PROPERTY

Operations of the Lone Star Con-
solidated Mines company are pro-
crossing in satisfactory manner at
two points, near the eastern and
western eXtremities of the cOmpany's g
large territory. Hosting plants of
good capacity were installed a short
time ago at both shafts and the No.
shaft, situated not far from the
eastern boundaries of the Merger and
Spearhead properties, is being sunk
rapidly with the object of reaching
the shale-latite contact at the ear
liest possible moment. No lateral
development will be undertaken from
this shaft until the contact is reached
unless something of unusual prom
ise is exposed in the course of sink
ing.
At the eastern end of the proper
tv development work is progressing
from the old Nelligan shaft, at a
depth of $50 feet, where drift is
being driven in a nOrtherly direc-
tion in vein matter of good charac-
ter, the quartz being hard and highly
silicified A crosscut has been driv-
en- to the southeast to connect for
air with an old incline shaft. This
ground has produced small quanti-
ties of good ore in the past and Man
ager J. M. Healy regards the neigh
borhood as one holding encouraging
prospects for finding pay ore in COM
mercial quantity.
The company has been literally fl
nanced for extensive work and those
who are interested in it's operation
have complete faith in it's eventual
ly making a producing mine of the
first Importance. Company officials
have reason to believe that the shale
contact will be reached at a depth
of approximately 700 feet and 1t is
planned to extend drifts over a wide
area on the contact to explore for
an ore body lying upon the shale, a
condition that is believed to exist
here as well as at other points in the
district.

MIR AND MRS. CUTTER TO
VISIT SAN DIEGO FAIR

Mr. M. B. Cutter. president OF the
Tonopah and Goldfield railroad COM
pany, who arrived in camp Saturday
morning in his private car accompa-
MED by Mrs. Cutter, will shortiy
leave for San Diego to visit the ex-
position. Later he will return to
Goldfield for a longer stay. This is
Mrs. Cutters first visit to Nevada.
President Cutter, who has always
been partial to Nevada and consist
ent booster for this state, says Gold

VERNAL COMPANY SOON TO
RESUME WORK ON GROUND

After a close-down of several
weeks, the Vernal Mining company
will soon resume the active develop
ment of it's property in the Diamond
field section of the Goldfield distric.
Such was the announcement this
morning of e. S. Van Dyck, general
manager of the company. 1t is the
int ontion of the management to sinK
the shaft from the present 200-foot
level to depth of 500 feet with sta
tions every hundred feet.

foot level had reached the latte
shale contact and had passed through
eight feet of mineralized quartz,
yielding low assays, and was still in
this character of quartz when work
was discontinued. The showing at
this point is regarded as highly en-
couraging, since it proves the ex-
istence of vein matter along the
contact here, and it is believed that
when drifts are extended along the
contact pay ore will be revealed.
ReOrganized Booth
Development continues on the $50
and 635-foot levels of the Booth
property and on both levels the man.
agement has found grounds for en-
couragement. Seams of pay ore have
been exposed in the drift on the $50
level, which has been following the
main Booth vein to the south, while
on the 635 level the work has ex-
posed large masses of quartz of ex-
cellent appearance.
Florence Goldfield
According to latest reports the ore
body exposed a short time ago on
the 250-foot level and later opened
by raises above that depth is hold
ing up well in appearance. During
the week Superintendent II. B. Clapp
stated that he was starting to stope
ore from a face yielding average as
says of $135 per ton across a width
of four feet The annual meeting
of stockholders of the Florence COM
pany will be held in Goldfield March
1, when it is expected that definite
announcement will be made of the
company's intention to sink its main
shaft to the shale contact, an esti-
mated depth of between 1850 and
1000 feet. Powerful equipment will
be installed for this purpose and
sinking will be expedited as much
as possible.
