JUMBO EXTENSION CONTINUES
TO MAINTAIN IT'S SPLENDID
SHOWING

The declaration of a seven and a
half cent dividend, payable on Sep
tember 1 to stockholders of record
on August l, by the directors of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company
Immediately following the recent an
nual meeting of the stockholders in
Phoenix, Arizona, speaks volumes
for the excellent physical condition OF
the mine. Developments during the
last week have been of a normal, yet
highly gratifying character. The
daily output of the mine continues
steady around so tons of ore, aver
aging $40 per ton
About five feet of $50 ore is ex-
posed in the face of the west drift
being advanced along the contact
from the 526-A raise above the 1917
level. The west drift on the S93
level is yielding three feet of $40
ore, while the east drift on the same
level is exposing four feet of $50 ore
The east and west drifts on the 923
level are both being extended on full
faces of ore that assays $50 per
ton.
approximately six feet of ore aver
aging $50 per ton is being broken
down in the stope recently started
above the east drift on the 957 level.
The work of cleaning out and en-
larging from two to three compart-
ment the old Original Velvet lease or

JUSTICE GOING
STEADILY AHEAD
DRIFT is BEING EXTENDED TO
CATCH DOWNWARD EXTEN.
SION OF OREBODY

General Superintendent John La
Zoe reports that the Justice Gold
Mining company continues to obtain
pleasing results in it's operations in
the Diamodfield section of the Gold
field district. C. w. Hayes, president
and general manager Of the cola
pany, is expected to return to camp
in the near future from an extend
ed business visit to Los Angeles and
will probably increase the number
of miners employed.
In the territory of the Daisy prop
erty being operated by the company
under long term lease, the manage
ment continues to drift west on what
is known as the middle vein on the
265-foot or bottom level. The drift
now measures about 800 feet in
length and the face is exposing ore
carrying milling values. The south
crosscut started from this drift at
point about 275 feet from the shaft
has been extended thus far about
$50 feet. 1t will within the next 20
feet cross the line of the Daisy prop
erty into the Gold Coin Extension
claim of the Justice company. A
short distance farther south the
crosscut is expected to reveal the
Gold Coin Extension vein which has
yielded excellent results in surface
development in the past. The cross
cut is also designed to intersect sew
eral other lodges The drift west
will be continued as it is calculated
that point 80 feet or thereabouts
from the present face it will reveal
the downward extension of the old
Detch-Brewer lease ore shoot which
on the 100 foot level gave up rich
ore in the early days of the camp.

HARRY IL. LIND TELLS OF AC-
TIVITY IN SANTA FE MIN
ING DISTRICT

The increasing activity and grow
ing prosperity of the Santa Fe dis
trict, seven miles southeast of Lun-
ing on the Southern Pacific line
through Mineral county, affords an
example of the beneficial effects the
great world war is having upon cop
per and the other baser metal pro-
ducing centers, according to Harry
B. Lind, who has just returned to
Goldfield after ten days visit of in
spection to the camp named, where
he has valuable interests. Mr.. Lind
says that the outlook for the Santa
Fe district is more promising at
property owners there are taking ad-
vantage of present conditions more
each day.
with copper at it's present SELL
ing price, said Mr.. Lind, proper
ty owners of the Santa Fe district
can profitably operate. The war has,
of course, brought about the i'm
proved condition to a large extent.
However, the district has great mer-
it and, war or no war. it will ulti-
mately come out OK. Just at pres
ent the district is enjoying great ac-
tivity in consequence of the demand
for copper and various properties
are making frequent shipments.
"The Iroquis Copper company. in
which I am interested, is operating
its property, the New York group.
more extensively than for several
years. We are extracting from a
glory hole, which is 40 feet in depth
in the deepest point, and shipping
each week a 50-ton carload of ore.
which averages five per cent copper.
about an ounce in silver and small
gold values. The orebody exposed in
the glory hole is 40 feet in width.
Eight feet runs around five per
cent and the remainder averages
two and half per cent. There are
numerous other good surface show
ings on the property and I intend to
Immediately increase the working
force from four to 10 men.
"The Mayflower claim. owned Dv
L. L. Patrick of Goldfield and being

OPERATIONS At
YELLOW TIGER
ON 6OO-FOOT LEVEL TO
CATCH VEIN

General Manager Charles D. Will
Hinson is highly pleased with the
progress made in the operations be-
ing prosecuted on the 600 and 7Oo-
foot levels of the property Of the
Yellow Tiger Mining company He
is confident that the continuance Of
present work will result in import
ant discoveries in the near future.
On the 600-foot level the winzs
sunk in the early days by lessees is
being cleaned out. AS it yielded
good assays in the infancy of the
camp, it is quite probable that it
will be continued down. Although
no assays have as yet been made.
Manager Wilkinson sas some very
promising looking quartz is being
raised in the work of cleaning out
the winZe.
To catch the downward extension
of the orebody in which the winze
was sunk below the 600-foot level,
southeast crosscut is benig ex-
tended from the main northeast drift
on the 700-foot level about $50 feet
from the shaft. Manager Wilkin-
son expects to soon receive instruc-
tions from the officials of the COM
pany in Denver Colo, to begin de-
velopment work on the adjoining
Red Lion group. which is controlled
by the Yellow Tiger company.

LEDGE

The extension of the west crosscut
on the 50O-foot level of the prop
erty of the Silver Pick Consolidated
Mines company has proved the
downward continuation of the Phe-
Ian lease vein, recently cut, to be 16
feet in width. AS only low grade
values have been revealed at the
point Of intersection, drifts mort,
and south upon the vein have been
started. In appearance and structure
the ledge on the 5O0-foot level is
one of the most promising looking
veins disclosed in the property, Gen
eral Superintendent Walter S. Nor
ris is confident that it's exploration
with drifts under way will yield sub
stantial results.
The task of handling the grea,

COMP ANY
SELLS ITS MILL
ALSO AWARDS LEASES ON ITS
TOKOP AND HORNSILVER
PROPERTIES

Jean Pierre Charra of Paris,
France, consulting engineer of he
Champ dor French Gold Mining
company, Limited, who has been in
Goldiield for several months looking
after the interests of that company
in southern Nevada, announced to-
day the sale of the local plant
known as the French mill. to Elmer
T. Clapp of Boston, Mass. Mr.. Char
ra also announced that William
Dunphy has been granted two
years lease on the company's Or
leans property in the Hornsilver
district and Nicholas Theo a lease
of like duration on its holdings in
the Tokop district. Having given
the affairs of his company all the
attention they at present require, Mr.
Charra plans to leave Goldfield by
the end of the present month for his
home in France. After visiting the
San Francisco fair few days. he
will travel by way of New Orleans
to New York where he will take
passage for Bordeaux
The negotiations for the sale by
the mill were concluded in quick
time. Mr.. Clapp, who was interest
ed in the mill as a speculation by
his son, Richard Clapp, local mill
man, arrived in Goldfield from his
home few days ago. closed up the
deal last night and departed this
morning for visit to the San Fran
cisco fair prior to his return east.
The amount Of money involved in
the transaction was not made pub
lie. The plant will be cleaned up"
and dismantled by the new owners
son. The first unit of the plant.
10 stamps, was erected in 1904 by
Fl. l.. Frank of Butte. 1t was SUBJ
sequently enlarged and became the
property of the French company sew
eral years ago. 1t was the second
mill built in Goldfield and treated
some of the richest ore mined in the
boom days of the camp.
VIM. Dunphy, who has performed
the annual work on the Horn
silver property of the French COM
pany for several years, has great
faith in it and is convinced that IT
will develop into great mine. He
began operations on the property the
first of this month with small
force. He started north drift from
the bottom of 63-foot winze below
the 1OO-foot level. The face of the
new drift Is exposing four feet Of
ore, which recently yielded an assay
of $45 per ton in gold and silver.
Mr.. Theo will begin operations on
the company's Tokop property in the
near future.
