ell was stopped by order of the tenn
porary receiver, in the absence of
orders from the federal court to
continue any mining operations.
This raise had just reached a point
of great interest, having passed
through eight feet of highly miner
allied quartz, lying upon the shale.
and with quartz still showing in the
top of the raise. 1t is believed that
with the extension of drifts along
the contact from this raises an i'm

Regular shipments are going for
ward to the sampler from the Flor
ence mine at the rate of a 50-ton
car load every other day, the product
averaging in the neighborhood of
$50 per ton. The new orebOdy,
exposed in the drift on the 25O-foot
level and raises in the northern part
of the property, continues to make
an excellent showing and gives
promise of a substantial production.
President A. D.. Parker of the Flor
ence company, who was in GOldfield
early in the week, expressed himself
as being greatly pleased with the
appearance of the property and stat
ed that there was no doubt the COM
pany would proceed shortly to sink
it's main shaft to the shale contact,
an estimated depth of from 1850 to
1900 feet. He said that the COM
pany's treasury now contained am
pie funds for this or any other work
deemed advisable.
Silver Pick Consolidated
Sinking is in progress on the Sill
yer Pick Consolidated and the main
shaft is making progress at the rate
of five feet daily on it's way to the
shale contact. superintendent Wal
ter Norris expects to have the shaft
completed to the contact and to be
in readiness for lateral exploration
of this n within less than two
months. The cross-cut to the west,
on the 5O0-foot level, is again pro-
crossing and within a short dis
lance should reach one of the strong
veins in this territory, parallel with
the main vein.
ReOrganiZed Kewanas
The actual work of exploring the
shale contact in the Kewanas prop
erty is now in progress and results
will be awaited with the keenest
interest. as conditions here are al.
most identical with those in the
Jumbo Extension property, adjoining
on the south. The contact was ex-
posed at a depth of $40 feet from
the surface. about the same as that
at which it was found in the Jumbo
Extension, the vein matter. contain
ing some gold, was found lying
upon the shale and will now be ex-
plored by drifts.
ReOrganiZed Blue Bull
Active development is progressin,
on the Blue Bull property It a depth
of 700 feet, where a vein of encour-
aging character has been penetrated
and is being explored by drifts. This
vein was cut by the shaft at a depth
of 500 feet and drifts at this depth
exposed strong seams of ore assaying
from $40 to $50 per ton. No ore
of commercial grade has been found
in quantity here. but the manage
ment regards the vein formation and
showing of enrichment as amply JUS
tifying the thorough exploration of
the ground.
Yellow Tiger
The new plant of the Yellow Tiger
Mining company is operating in per-
feet form and the new machine
drills have been found to be highly
effective in making progress in driv-
ing and raising, according to Mana
ger C. d. Wilkinson. A winze is
now being sunk at a point where
ore of good grade has been found
and where it is believed the top of
an important ore-shoot has been ex,
posed. Good assays have been OBJ
tanned at several points in the work
