work on company account, produc-
ed approximately $4,000. 900. To
the south on the 150-fooc level of
the main shaft the workings have
been placed in first-class condition
for renewed exploratory operations in
the old Little Florence lease terri
tory. A drift and two raises are
being extended and encouraging re-
suits are being obtained.
Simmerone
One of the latest developments in
the district is the discovery of high
grade ore in the property being OPP
Grated by the New Goldfeld Simmer
one Mining company. A raise above
the 100-foot level from the long
southeast crosscut has just revealed
at a height of SO feet four feet of
ore asaying 1925 per ton, all gold.
Tho find is in the downward extern
sion of an ore body which about two
years ago was first revealed by
lessees. They sunk a 65-foot shaft
and drifted south from the bottom,
their operations yielding approx
mately $4,000 worth of ore. It is
the intention of the management to
drift south on the 100-foot level to
catch the ore body. After this has
been accomplished, the southeast
on the ESQ foot level, al
ready extended 1T feet. will be re-
sumed with a view to opening up the
ore body at that depth.
ReOrganized Kewanas
Operations at depth in the prop
erty of the Reorganized Kewanas
Mining company are going steadily
ahead and highly encouraging re-
suits continue the rule. Afte rbe-
ing extended in vein matter a dis
lance of approximately As feet, east
90 from north drift 907 on
the S38-foot intermediate level re-
Gently exposed the hanging wall and
against it about one foot of $40 ore.
Throughout the distance advanced
the crosscut intersected stringers of
quartz varying in width from six to
eighteen inches and in value from
$40 to $50 per ton. At this particu-
lar point the footwall of the vein has
not yet been revealed, therefore the
full width of the vein matter is yet to
be determined. About Is feet north
of go east crosscut a crosscut in the
same direction, known az Gil, has
been started from north drift 907.
Atlanta Mines
No notable developments have oc-
Cured of late in the property of the
Atlanta Mines company. In the ex-
tension of north drift 1925 on the
156O-foot intermediate level, a
stringer of ore varying in width
from two to six inches and assaying
around 500 per ton, is being fol-
lowed. Raising is in progress from
south drift 1924 on the same level
with the 14O0-foot point as the OBJ
jective level, on which a drift south
will be extended to connect with an
east crosscut from the Grizzly Bear
shaft of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. This raise is expos
ing a streak of ore, varying from a
few inches to a foot and a half in
width, that assays around $40 per
ton.
Silver Pick Con.
The east crosscut from the 600
foot point in the main shaft of the
property of the Silver Pick CONSOLE
dated Mines company has exposed
the upward extension of the new
vein revealed about three months
ago by a raise from the east crosscut
on the 70O-foot level. The footwall
of the vein was encountered 143 feet
from the shaft and the crosscut has
thus far penetrated it eighteen feet
with no indication as to when it will
