Reorganized Kewanas
A winze has been completed below
the point where the shale contact
was exposed in the Kewanas proper
ty, at a depth of $40 feet, and a
large station and ore or waste peck

ings on the 700 and S00-foot levels
and a showing that affords much en-
couragement in the raise above the
500 level. The west crosscut on
the 700 level has entered a for
nation similar to that found in pro-
ducing territory to the south and ap-
%parently this is near the Columbia
mountain fault plane, where the
management has always believed de-
posits of pay ore would be found.
Silver Pick Consolidated
Sinking is again in progress on
the Silver Pick Consolidated, with
the 1atite-shale contact as the objec-
tive point. The work is making rap
i'd progress and the contact should
be reached within the next 60 days.
according to the management. While
this work is in progress the west
crosscut on the 500-foot level will be
continued to explore three large
veins in which pay ore has been
found in small quantity on upper
levels.
Lone Star Consolidated
At two widely separate points on
it's large property the Lone Star
Consolidated company is developing
with vigor. The No. 2 shaft, situated
not far from the boundaries of the
Merger and Spearhead, is being sunk
rapidly for the shale contact, in the
expectation that it will reach this
point at a depth of about $50 feet.
Near the eastern end of the property
lateral development is progressing at
a depth of $50 feet from the old
Michigan shaft, where good assays
have been obtained in the past.
Other Properties
Diamondfield Black Butte is de-
veloping on the 30O-foot level, which
was lately unwatered. Manager
Caravan believes that within a dis
lance of not more than 35 feet he
will penetrate the strong vein, south
west of the shaft, in which seams of
high-grade ore were found on the
100-foot level.
Diamondfield Daisy is being work
ed by lessees and ore of exceedingly
high grade has lately been exposed
in workings of the Justice Gold
Mines company, operating near the
east end of the property and headed
by c.. F. Hays of Goldfield. At the
west end lessees, who are also work
ing part of the Great Bend property,
have exposed some good ore which
they have treated in a small mill on
the ground.
Spearhead is being developed by
l~essees, the Goldfield Shale Mining
company having taken a lease on the
Spearhead claim. This company has
installed powerful machinery and is
sinking rapidly to the shale.
Blue Bull is exploring, at a depth
of 700 feet, the large vein exposed
on the 500 level, where seams Of
good ore we're found.
Yellow Tiger has been delayed in
starting up it's new plant but is now
in shale for aggressive work, which
will proceed on the 700-foOt level.
Assays taken in block form at M
point on the 700 = foot level gave
an average of $50 across a, width Of
80 inches.
Conqueror Consolidated is again
undergoing active development and
Manager ]. P. Sweeney expects that
the shaft will cut the ore channel of
the Columbia mountain fault within
the next two or three weeks.
Great Bend will hold it's deferred
stockholders meeting in the near flu
ture. when plans for the development
of the property will be decided upon.
The work, which will be upon a COM
~prehensive scale, will be under the
direction of j. X. Turner, who has
been retained as consulting engineer
by the company.
