Results of highly pleasing char

An incline branch raise started from

above the south drift on the vein is

more than 25 feet and the show

south drift on the vein, which is at
present 115 feet from the point at
which ore is being extracted from
the branch raise, there is a streak of
quartz, varying from foot to a
foot and half in width, that

GOOD RESULTS
ARE OBTAINED
STEADILY AHEAD IN AT
LANTA PROPERTY

Highly gratifying results continue
to attend the exploratory work be-
ing prosecuted by the Atlanta Mines
company On the 1750-fOOt level of
the Union Jack claim. All recent de-
velopments tend to support the oft
repeated prediction that time will
prove the property one of the great
mines of the Goldfield district.
The north drift from the branch
west crosscut, which was recently
turned in a westerly direction in or
der to follow a streak of ore exposed
in the shale formation, continues to
reveal interesting and highly prom
Using conditions. The raise recently
started above this drift is now up
about twenty feet and is exposing
five feet of SIS ore. The winze be-
ing sunk just of Inc main southwest
crosscut is now down eighteen feet
and is yielding ore carrying values
of $12 per ton, according to assays
on car samples.

ton. The south drift itself is be-
ing advanced ON from twelve to
eighteen inches of ore that carries
values ranging from $40 to $40 per
ton. The fact that the distance be-
tween the points at which ore is be-
ing extracted from the branch raise
and the drift face is 115 feet az
fords an idea of the already proven
length of the new ore body, to
which unusual significance attaches
since it has never been exposed on
any of the other levels Of the mine.
Thus far this month the company
has shipped $50 tons of ore. Cen
eral Superintendent Harry B. Clapp
estimates that the output this month
will total 800 tons. With the ex-
ception of the branch raise

CRIPPLE CREEK
MEN BUY CLAIMS
RED LION GROUP TO BE WORK.
ED AT DEPTH BY BIG
OPERATORS

Wealthy Colorado mining men
have identified themselves with tho
Goldfield district and will operate
here on broad scale, as the result
of deal that has lately been con-
summated through the agency of
the II. A. Reidel Investment COM
pany of Denver. This deal involved
the transfer of full title to the Red
Lion group of claims, embracing a
total of about 100 acres of patented
ground, to a group of prominent
Cripple Creek operators, headed by
A. p Mackey, who is one of the
heavy owners of the Portland mine
and is president and one of the.
chief stockholders of the Jerry john
son Mining company, one of the sub
stantial dividend payers of the Grip
pie Creek district.
The Red Lion group consists of
the Red Lion No. 1, Red Stone, Rsdl
Lion No. 2, Red Lion Fraction,
Joshua and Red Lion No. claims,
all patented and situated IN the
southern part of the GoldfieId dis
trict, adjoining the Yellow Tiger
mine, the Milltown Mining company's
property and the Red Rock group,
which is owned by A. d. Parker and
the r. G. LOckhart estate.
This ground is pronounced by
reputable mining engineers to have
a good surface showing, and it is
traversed by veins that have been
exposed on the Yellow Tiger and
MilltOwn properties. The former
representative here of the company
which owned this property found ore
in surface groupings on these claims
that yielded encouraging assays. The
announcement is made upon good
authority that the new owners will
proceed at once to develop the Red
Lion property in a thorough man
ner and at considerable depth and
that liberal financial provision has
been made for this work Charles
ID. Wilkinson, general manager for
the Yellow Tiger Mining company,
and who is thoroughly familiar with
this ground. will have charge of OPP
erations for the new owners.

MUCH IMPRESSED By LO-

Former United States Senator
Lee Mantle and Former Governor
A. f. Spriggs of Montana are visit

accompanied by his wife. They are
heavily interested, with other Butte

erty of which, originally known as
the Bulls and Bears, adjoins the
Kewanas, Orc and Grandma es-
tates, and the purpose of their visit
is to confer with their local associ-
ate, Milton NJ. Detch, with regard to
it's future.
1t is more than probable that ex-
tensive operations by the Norcross
company will result from the present
visit of Messrs. Mantle and Spriggs
to Goldfield. A decision in the mat
ter, however, will not be made un-
til they have submitted to their as
sociates in Butte report upon

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

DAYS past ,nere have been rumors
in circulation to the effect that
Charles S Sprague, vice president
and general manager of the Jumbo
Extension, while in Denver, Colo,
recently, made overtures to Presi-
dent A. D. Parker of the Florence,
looking to the purchase Of control
of the property. To date no news
has been received in Goldf1eld as to
the success or failure of the report
cd negotiations.
Atlanta Mines
The Atlanta is steadfastly holding
its stellar position among the local
mines, in consequence of the contin-
ued improvement in conditions on
the 1750-foot level of the Union
Jack claim. The north drift from
the branch west crosscut has been
tucned in a westerly direction and
lie following a streak of ore in the
snale formation toward the contact.
The new raise started above the
drift is now up twenty feet and is
yielding five feet of SIS ore. The
Iinze being sunk just off the main
southwest crosscut is down eighteen
feet. Assays of car samples show
that the ore being extracted carries
values of $12 per ton.
KeWanas
Important developments are like
ly t. occur at the Kewanas property
in the near future. The winze be-
ing sunk below the 700-foOt level has
passed the 130-foot point and it is
expected to reveal the latite-shale
contaft in the next twenty or thirty
feet.

The Goldfield Orc Mining COM
pany continues to obtain pleasing
results in the development work on
the 700 and S00-foot levels. The

COMMENTS UPON
FUTURE OF CAMP
w. &. RANNELLS TELLS OF HIS
OBSERVATIONS IN LOCAL
MINES

w. G. Rannells, who won wide
fame through his management OF
the fabulously rich Hayes-Monnette
lease on the Mohawk in the early
days of Goldfield, is confident that
the district is entering upon a new
era of great productivity and pros
perity, in consequence of discover
les of late at depth, particularly
along the latite-shale contact. Since
his return to Goldfield about a
month ago, after an absence of sew
eral years, Mr.. Rannells has made a
thorough study of conditions, made
possible by personal visits of in
spection to numerous properties;
therefore his opinion as to the flu
ture of the camp is highly signifi-
cant. In discussing local condi
tiOns Mr.. Rannells said:
Il have no hesitancy in saying
that ] firmly believe that the Gold
field district has a great future;
further, that / have been agreeably
surprised by my observations since
my return here about month ago.
Instead of being a worked-out camp,
Goldfield seems to be Just now en-
tering upon the greatest period of
it's career. I base this statement
upon recent developments and the
discovery of new ore bodies in vari-
Gus properties, notably the Gold
field Consolidated mines, the Jumbo
Extension and Atlanta.
Soon after my return here l was
permitted to make an inspection of
lie Atlanta. The showing was then
nighly promising and developments
since have tended to support my
opinion that the property will prove
