WORK ON RLUE BULL

AT depth of 700 feet development
work is progressing in the property
Of the Reorganized Blue Bull Mining
company, under the direction Of A.
|. Darcy. From the shaft, at this
depth, a crOsscut was extended to
the east, penetrating the large vein
in which seams of pay ore were found
III work on the 500-fOot level. The
north drift on the vein, at the 700
level, is nearing the point at which
the downward extension of this en-
richment may be found. The work
tas demonstrated the presence Of
bodies Of quartz Of vast dimensions
and there is apparently good ground
for the hope that deposits of pay
ore will be found here at depth.

SETTLEMENT IS
GOOD FOR CAMP
NINE OPERATOR AND BROKER
SEES A BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR GOLDFIELD

Hermann Zadig, president of the
Silver Pick Consolidated company
and the moving spirit in important
operations in the Tonopah district,
has been in Goldfield for the purpose
OF inspecting the Silver Pick proper
ty and expressed himself as being
well pleased with the rapid progress
completing the work of sinking the
main shaft to a depth of 700 feet and
in cutting a station at this depth.
He says that the station will be
completed and crOsscutting will be
under way by May l., and he is as
hopeful as ever that the downward
extension of the big vein exposed on
the 500-fOot level will be found at
this Cepth and that pay ore will be
developed here.
Speaking of the settlement of liti-
cation between the Jumbo Extension
and Booth companies, Mr.. Zadig ex-
pressed his satisfaction over the out
come and said:
''It is one of the best things that
could have happened for GOldfieid
that the control of Booth was in the
hands of a man like George Wing
field, who not only had large inter-
ests in the district. but was broad
enough to realize that by making
liberal settlement with the Jumbo
Extension and other companies, re-
Garding apex rigts, he would re-
stCr, confidence among the investing
and specuiatlng public.
venture to say" declared Mr..
Zadig. that if the Booth had been
in the hands of persons who had the
welfare of the district less at heart,
they would simply have taken the
viewpoint that as long as We have
the apex, the property is ours, and
there is no need to compromise and
endless litigation would have ensued.

to the opening up of new territory OF

to be no less than 20 feet in width.
At the bottom of the winze cross
cut was driven a short distance to-

deemed advisable to defer further
work at this point until more eff

for use in the winze and to extend
the latter to greater depth on the

FINE PROSPECTS
IN GREAT BEND
COMPANY GETTING NEW EQUIP
MENT TO WORK ON A
BROAD SCALE

On the property of the Goldfield
Great Bend Mining company a new
head frame of large dimensions will
he erected at once over the main ver-
tical shaft, which will be the center
of the cOmpany's extensive opera
tions, planned for the future. The
hosting engine has been moved to
this shaft from the incline shaft,
farther up the hill, and the bailer
will be used to raise water until
the arrival of the big pump and COM
pressor, which will be on the ground
and installed within fortnight
An order for new equipment for
the main shaft has been placed bp
Consulting Engineer Turner and in
c%ldes the following: One Is by by
u Imperial, type 1922, six drill
compressor, with anchor holts and
unloaders; one 42-inch by 10 foot
air receiver; one 12-inch driving
belt; one 75-horsepower Westing
house motor, with 1Sinch drive
wheel. A two-stage Cameron pump,
with a capacity of 5000 gallons per
hour. has also been ordered.
The first work to be undertaken
by Superintendent Jack Campbell
will be to unwater and retimber the
old workings, in which ore of high
grade was found by lessees. The
richest ore discovered on the prop
erty was found in a short raise
above the deepest level, but soon aft
er this ore was exposed a flood of
water drove the miners from the
workings and the water has never
since been lowered to this level. AS
the bottom of the vertical shaft is
the deepest point reached, the un-
watering of this shaft will serve to
drain all the surrounding workings,
including those opened from the in
cline shaft. The vein dips toward
the main shaft and can be explored
to good advantage from the old
workings.

The final report of operations OF
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company for the month of March has
Just been submitted to President
George Wingfield by Assistant Gen
eral Manager X. M. Simpson, and
elbows that the properties of the
company produced, during the month,
a total of 32,049 tons of ore, from
which the company realized net prof
its of $17O,965.17. A further and
important reduction is indicated by
this report in the operating costs,
which are shown to be but $5,43 per
ton for the month.

ATLANTA'S NEW
RAISE IS IN ORE
BODY OF SMELLING ORE Is EA'
POSED IN WORK NEAR
1850 LEVEL

By the middle of next week con-
nection will have been made between
the air raise at the cross-cut on the
big orebody in the Atlanta mine, and
production will at once be Increased
to a 5O-ton carload daily, the product
being sent to the local sampler OF the
Western Ore Purchasing company.
During the present month the Allan
ia has shipped nine carloads to the
sampler, the product averaging
above $40 per ton. AS this ore has
been extracted solely in develop
ment, it does not represent fair
sample by which to estimate future
production, as the average Will
probably be considerably better
when stopping begins.
A new development that appears
to be of great Importance is announc-
ed by Manager A. |. Darcy IN
statement made to the Goldllelu
News and Tribune. Mr.. DArcy
saws that a new raise has been start
ed. known as the lola raise ana
at a point about so feet north OF
the 1O12-A raise. This new raise
near the center of the great vein. is
now showing a full face of ore that
has been yielding average assays
around $27 per ton, the ore carrying
some copper
The 1O12-A raise, also near the
center of the vein and following the
veins incline, has progressed over
65 feet and has been continuously IN
ore averaging $S per ton and carry
ing ONLY gold. The breast or the
raise is looking better today and Of
fers much encouragement, as the
character of the ore from the first
has been far better than shown in
the incline raise some 25O feet TO
the north, where the large body or
$50 ore was exposed 115 feet above
the 1750-foot level.
Both the 1011 and 1912 raises
were driven from a drift that was
extended to the south from the main
cross-cut, on the 1750-foot level. This
drift was extended to connect with a
short north drift from the workings
opened more than a year ago on this
level, when the big vein was first
penetrated by the long cross-cut from
the Merger shaft. Near the point
where the hanging wall of the vein
was first exposed winze was start
ed and at a depth of few feet eX-
posed some pay ore, but work was
temporarily suspended in this winze,
to be resumed later.
Manager Darcy is now driving
both ways, from the air raise and
from the cross-cut in the Orebody. to
effect the connection between these
two points, and with this work COM
pleted there will be perfect ventila-
tion for all parts of the mine, as the
connection has been made with the
older workings by the drift in the
vein on the 1850 level. The scope of
operations throughout the property
is to be materially enlarged and de-
velopment work will be advanced
into the southern half of the Grizzly
Bear claim upon which, below the
14OO-foot level, the Atlanta COM
pany has secured a lease.

JUMBO tX. HAS
ORE At DEPTH
RESERVES ARE BEING
AUGMENTED BY DEEP
DEVELOPMENT

In the Jumbo Extension mine de-
velopments of the past few days at
depth of over 900 feet and south
west of the main workings, have
been of great importance in demon
strating the continuity of the ore
channel along the shale contact for
an additional 100 feet. From the A
shale level cross-cut was driven to
the south, through the shale, and
finally penetrated the slicified ma
terial that underlies all the ore
found at the contact, later entering
the same character of ore exposed in
the 524 drift, which is in the con-
tinuation of the same ore, but ele-
waited some 80 feet by the vertical
fault exposed on this level
The new discovery determines an
additional 100 feet of ore to the
northwest of the raise, from which
the 524 drift was started to the
southeast. The two faces, both of
which are now in excellent ore, are
at present about 800 feet apart.
with high grade ore for this entire
distance along the contact. From
the fact that the ore-channel extends
to the south, along the dip of the
shale, it is apparent that this work,
in the drifts mentioned. is across
the trend of the ore, indica ting the
great width of the channel
For the full length of the 524 drift
now about 200 feet, all ore broken in
development has been worth at
least $50 per ton and in some places
the face. for width of from five to
seven feet. has assayed as high as
$500 per ton, with wide seams run
ming into far higher figures. The
shale contact above this drift is all
virgin ground and while no definite
estimate can be made of the ore rem
dered available for Stopping here.
there is every reason to believe that
this territory will yield large ton
mage of high-grade shipping ore
At the c level, which is in the
quartz fissure extending into the
shale, an incline raise was driven to
the contact, cutting the ore at
point 80 feet vertically below the
feet of stopping backs between these
two points. A wide face of ore of
high grade was exposed here and in
driving up on the contact, to con-
meet with the 524 drift, the raise
continued in rich ore. A cross-cut
on the c level should reach the CON
tact shortly. at point where about
$50 feet of backs will be made avail
able.
Aside from the intrinsic value of
the ore exposed in the new work
ings at the shale contact, the most
interesting development in the mine
is that on he 1017-foot level, where
the south crOss-cut has penetrated
the characteristic shaIe contact for
indicating that it is nearing
the continuation of the contact ore
body on this level. AS the dip of
the shale is rather flat for this en-
tire distance, the area of stopping
backs from this point to the 524
drift and other workings at the
same depth will be great, and if the
ore apprOXimates in value that ex-
posed above, the opening of the ore
on this level will add enormously to
the appraisab BILE reserves of the mine.
Several carloads of ore have been
