GRANDMA READY
FOR DEEP WORK
UNDER WAY
FOR RESUMPTION OF WORK
ON PROPERTY

The annual meeting of the Grand
ma Mining company of GOldfield
was held in Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 20,
when steps were taken that will re-
suit in a complete reorganization o
the company and will lead to the
early beginning of development work
in the company's property, upon
which no development work, other
than surface trenching. has been
done for several years. A meeting
of directors will be held in Goldfield
Immediately upon the return of ].
X. Turner, consulting engineer and
one of the directors of the company,
in order to formulate plans for ac-
lively working the property.
A strong vein traverses the Grand
ma property, having it's apex near
and parallel with the western bound
airy line and dipping to the east.
This vein has been explored to a
small extent in the adjoining Spear
head ground, to the south, and has
been found to contain ore OF COM
mercial grade. Surface work on the
Grandma, as we'll as work in several
shallow shafts, has demonstrated
the favorable character of the vein
in this territory and work will pro-
ceed to depth as soon as final plans
are outlined by Engineer Turner.

ATlANTA'S WINE
IN SHIPPING ORE
SHOWING DEPOSIT OF
GOOD GRADE

Sinking is now in progress from
the the l750-foot level of the Allan
VA on five feet os shipping ore,
which is breaking better than $50
per ton. This ore was exposed last
year. soon after the north branch
cross-cut on the 1750-foot level pen
etrated the big vein. Near this point
a drift was extended to the north,
following the hanging wall, and at
first exposed a seam of pay ore only
a few inches in width. which grad
ually widened to over five feet. AT
one point this ore yields assays
around $40 per ton for a width OF
20 inches.
A raise was started on this ore,
but as it appears to become narrow
er above this level and to widen as
depth is gained. it was decided to
sink a winze, following the ore
shoot and Manager Darcy now has
hopes of extracting considerable
quantity cf shipping ore from this
winze. The new work here is of par
ticular interest, as it is the deepest
yet undertaken at any point IN
southern Nevada, with the exception
of the Merger sump, which extends
far within the alaskite.
Another feature in connection with
this work is that it is in a vein that
is approximately so feet in width
and at a point where shale appears
at both the foot and hanging walls.
From the latter fact it is apparent
that the vein forms a great fissure
in the shale and that with greater
depth, possibly but little greater, the
work now in progress may reach The
point of contact between the big lode
and the alaskite. This contact has
not yet been found or prOspected in
the Goldfield district, although the
alaskite has been exposed at several
points where the contact is with

graduated from some eastern agri-
cultural college. In no instance

In fact quite otter the young men
sent to teach the farmers on the
project and to guide them in their
system of agriculture, have told them
things which the state agricultural
college has already proved through
experiment and demonstration to be
entirely wrong. But since there is
no relationship existing between
the land grant college and the fed
eral bureau of reclamation. we have
two systems in the state working at
cross purposes.

some eastern college, who knows
nothing of western agriculture, to
discover whether the man has done
sufficient work upon the land to

why was not the agricultural college

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

80 days will be treating ores from
various parts of the Consolidated
company's mines and will later ex-
pertinent with ores from all parts of
the district. Laboratory tests have
been successful in demonstrating
that flotation may be applied to tt
treatment of these ores, but as usual
where operations on large scale are
contemplated it is desirable to ex-
tend the tests to broader basis be-
fore installing equipment for per-
manent use.
This process is gaining wide appli-
cation throughout the mining coun-
try, particularly where ores abound
that contain copper and other base
elements, and it is believed by ex
perts that flotation is destined to
solve the problem of treating sue
cessfully the deep-level, sulphide ores
of the Goldfield district. In add
tion to the vast tonnage of ore OF
this character now available in the
mines of the Goldfield Consolida-r
company, large quantities have
been exposed in the Atlanta, Jumbo
Extension and other properties.
With local market for ores of this
character, it is practically certain

level and those connected with the
property are confident that condi-
tions in the vein at this point will
show an improvement over the 800
level The new west cross-cut, which
is being driven for a parallel vein. is
making good progress and continues
to show particles of shale imbedded
in the country andesite. Pumping
facilities are now ample to insure
against any interruption from water

CONTROL Is ACQUIRED BY THE
GREENWATER COMPANY
FROM HERMANN ZADIG

A transaction involving the nur-
chase of control of the Tonopah
Bonanza Mining company and said
to be one of the most important
time past, has been concluded with
in the past few days. According to
authentic reports the parties to the
deal were DR.. NJ. b. Ward of Phiia-
delphia, president of the Greenwa-
ter Mining and Smelling company,
for which corporation the controll-
ling interest in the Bonanza company
was purchased, and Hermann Zadig
of San Francisco, who made the
sale. which includes some 100000
shares of treasury stock, in addition
to large personal holdings, giving
,he new owners a majority of the
authorized capital stock of 1,500,-
600 shares.
1t is stated that the Tonopah FIX
tension and Schwab interests are
those chiefly interested in the pur-
chase and that ample funds will Re
provided to develop the property
upon a broad scale. A powerful

Among recent developments III
the Jumbo Extension mine, one OF
the most notable has been in the
new 555 drift, branch driven
from the $50 drift, in the south
eastern extremity of the present
workings in the Velvet claim. This
drift, extending in northerly di-
rection. nearly parallel with the east
side-line of the Velvet claim, is pro-
crossing in ore of high grade end
apparently of great width. The
$50 drift has been extended in good
ore for a distance of considerable
over 200 feet, showing that the con-
tact orebody is of fully as great
strength and volume here as farther
to the northwest, where it was PEN
etrated by raises from the 1917 lev
ell.
Six separate levels have now been
opened in the contact ore-channel,
and all have been in ore of ship
ping grade for considerable dis
tances. These levels do not vary
greatly in point of vertical depth, but
are at a considerable distance apart
laterally, owing to the flat dip OF
the contact zone. and cover a dis
tance of over 400 feet along the dip
of the ore-channel. The 524 drift,

S|MMER0NE NOW
DRIVING ON 100
ORE-SHOOT MAINTAINS FAVOR
ABLE APPEARANCE IN
FIRST RAISE

On the 1OO-foot level of the New
Goldfield Simmerone company's prop
erty a drift is being advanced to in
tersect the ore-shoot exposed by a
raise from this level and which has
been found to contain ore of shipping
grade. Consulting Engineer Harry
c. Cutler, who inspected the work
ings during the week, stated before
his return to Reno that the interme-
diate drift, above the 100 level,
would probably reach the ore with
in a short time. This would have
been accomplished earlier, he
thought, but for the flat dip and
raise of the ore to the southwest.
A shipment of ore taken from the
raise and drift on the ore was sent
to the sampler lately and proved to
be of satisfactory value, although it
was necessary to include some lower
grade material broken from the
walls The shipping ore is said by
Superintendent Knickerbocker to
vary from is inches to nearly three
feet in width, while the foot-wall ma
terial, when screened averages
around $40 per ton. AS soon as the
ore is picked up on the 100-fOOt lev
ell it is tanned to advance the work
on the 250-foot level to reach the
orebOdy.

A report covering recent opera
tions of the Pioneer CONSOLIDATED
Mines company is being sent to the
stockholders by President William
J. Tobin, who is also general man
ager for the company. 1t is shown
in the report that the company has
been enabled to greatly extend the
scope of it's development work, fol-
lowing the recommendation made by
J. X. Turner, the cOmpany's con-
sulting engineer. and to pay for all
this work and for it's milling opera
tions with bullion produced by the
mill.
Deposits of good mill ore. eX-
posed on various levels, are OF large
nrop0rtions and late development
work has exposed seams Of higher
grade material that may prove
valuable factor in improving the
general run of the mill product.
Experiments are being made to de-
termine whether it will be of advan-
tage to treat the pulp by flotation,
after it has passed the plates. Man
ager Tobin's report follows:
Development work is in progress
at many points in the property ana
is being pushed with all haste COM
patible with good mining practice,
with a view to opening the extension
of known ore-channels, and OF pros
pecting for deposits that are yet IN
discovered. Ore for the mill is now
being mined at three points in the
property. The East Bonanza stOpe,
at the 11O-foot level, is being ad-
vanced to the north on 10 feet OF
mill ore, averaging SIS per ton. The
Bonanza stope is being extended TO
the northwest on 10 feet of ore as
saving 81 to $12 per ton. Samples
taken from a four-inch seam, along
the west side of the stope from which
this ore is being mined. yield assays
sufficiently high to indicate the pres
ence of ore that will materially i'm
prove the average value of the mill
ing product.
A fair grade of mill ore is being
mined at the 250-foot level. in ex-
tending the mill stope to the SOUTH
east. A cross-cut that promises
much for the property was started
on Nov. IS, on the 210-root level
and is being driven south, 20 degrees
east, into territory in which no work
has been done heretofore. This
cross-cut is progressing at the rate
of three feet daily and will be driven
200 feet. Our engineer, Mr.. j. K.
Turner, recommended the driving CT
this cross-cut, for the purpose of in
tersecting the downward extension
