Instead of being the Second hes
month, as indicated by the prelimi-
nary estimate issne1 several weeks
ago, December was the banner per-
iod of last year in net profits for the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany. This fact is shown by III, fl
nal report of Assistant General Man
ager X. NJ Simpson on the opera
tions of the company during the clos
ing month of last year, which has
just Ibeen made public by A. H..
Howe, secretary and treasurer.
The report shows that the proddc-
ton of the various mines of the COM
panv totalled 29,S51 tons OF ore
which yielded a net realization of
$195, 1929. The net profits ex-
ceeded those of February, the secord
best month, by $13,935.34, and
those of November by approximate
ly $4,000. The figures contained

it's repair, such as the replacing OF
broken timbers with new ones, will
be completed in the next few days.
An examination of the workings on
the 3OO-foot level makes it evident
that but little repair work will be
required to permit of the resump-
tion of work in the face of the west
crOsscut to cut the downward extern
sion of the ore body, upon which a
winze is being sunk from the 100
foot level. The winze is down for
ty feet and the bottom is yielding
assays ranging from 50 to $40 per
ton, the output being mill grade

crosscut on the 300-foot level will
reveal the ore body within thirty
five to fifty feet from the present
face.
On the 1O0-foot level south cross
cut No 2 has exposed the contact of

READY TO START
WESTERN ORE PURCHASING co.
MANAGER MAKES AN
NOUNCEMENT

Frank NJ. Manson, general man
ager of the Western Ore Purchasing
company, who was busi-
ness visitor in Goldfield from his
headquarters in Reno, announces
that the company's local sampler,
which has been closed down for the
las two years, will be reopened
within the next week or ten days.
Manager Manson further announces
that with the reopening OF the To-
cal plant the sampler of the COM
pany at Millers will be closed down,
but that it will be kept in first-class
running order for use when occasion
demands.
The local sampler has been COM
pletely remodeled during the last
month and when again placed in
commission will be automatic
throughout, in consequence of which
only force of three men to operate
it will be required instead of twen-
ty men under the old arrangement
of unloading and reloading cars by
hand. The plant will be capable OF
handling more than 800 tons of ore
daily.

SILVER PICK CON, :
TO SINK DEEPER
PRESIDENT HERMAN ZADIG OUT
LINES FUTURE PLANS OF
COMPANY

Prior to his departure Sunday aft
ernoon for his headquarters in San
Francisco after a brief visit in camp,
Herman Zadig, president of the Sill.
yer Pick Consolidated Mines COM
pany. announced that simultaneous
ly with the levying of an assessment
of one cent per share on the stock
of the company on February | the
management will begin sinking the
main working shaft on the property
from the present 500-foot level to
the latite-shale contact. 1t is cal
culated that the contact will be re-
vealed with an additional depth Of
200 feet. Speaking of conditions
prevailing at the property and the
plans of the company, Mr.. Zadig
said:
THE results obtained by the COM
pany on the 500-foot level, under the
skillful supervision of General Su-
perintendent Walter S. Norris, have
convinced us that it is advisable to
sink to the latite-shale contact. Our
plans call for 200 feet of addition
a, shaft work, but We expect the
contact to be exposed at a lesser
6epth. This work will be started
on February 1, at which time an as
sessment of one cent per share will
be levied. All of the stock of the
company has been issued and the
assessment will make available the
sum of 1000 with which to con-
tinue operations.
Il am hopeful, and. I believe,
Justly so. that the sinking of the
shaft to the contact will result in the
disclosure of a great ore body. We
are at present obtaining pleasing re-
suits in the development work on
the 5OO-foot level, but all such Op-
erations, with the exception of the
extension of the west crOsscut, will
he discontinued during the sinking
of the shaft to the contact"
Mr.. Zadig was accompanied on his
visit to Goldfield by Fl. w. Ogilbe,
also of San Francisco. who is heavily
interested in Silver Pick and other
local properties.

The Simmerone Fraction claim was
sold Wednesday by the sheriff of
Nye county under a judgment from
the district court. held by the Ne
vada First National bank Of Tcno-
pah, to Walter Trent of Reno. The
property will be developed immedi-
ately, as the purchasers include men
who have been identified with min
ing development in Nevada for the
past fifteen years.
Those associated with Mr.. Trent
are w. b. Alexander, secretary of
the Nevada Mine Operators associa-
ton; f. A. Jones. millionaire of
Oakland; Gurney Gordon, DR.. w. HI.
Hood, Will T. Heffernon, all of Reno;

per industry in the Mason valley;
John G. Kirchen, general manager
of the Schwab properties in Nevada
and California, and president of the
Nevada First National bank of To-
nOpah, and Frank r. Bonneau of
TOnOpah.
The SimmerOne was one of the
richest early producers of the Gold
field district, disclosing surface val
ues running into the pictures. So
great was the interest aroused over
the startling display of wealth that
the original company had to fence in
the shaft and dump and station
guards on the property. The prop
erty has been idle for several years.
1t was from the Simmerone that
the late Harry #. Bragdon made his
first stake in camp, from which he
built his home at the corner of
Fifth avenue and Hall street. AS
sociated with Mr.. Bragdon was j.
r. Elgan, one of the large stockhold-
ers of the Keane-Wonder. A leas-
ing company sunk shaft 265 feet
and performed about 500 feet of la
teral work, developing three veins
which failed to carry values to JUS
tify shipping. as in those days moth
ing short of high grade could be
sent away 1t is claimed that when
the lease expired a strong ledge was
exposed on the 2O0-foot level.

its own as one of the camps heavi-
est producers. There is no doubt
that the net earnings this month
will approximate $4,000, as off,
cially estimated more than a week
ago, when stopping operations were
resumed after two-thirds of the
month had been given over to de-
velopment work, which yielded all
ore shipped in that period. The
daily output of the mine at present
is averaging two carloads Of mixed
ore that has been yielding values Of
$50 or better per ton.
There is but slight difference in
the value of the ore being yielded
by the two slopes which are the
largest contributors to present ship
ments. According to assays an
nounced Thursday night, four feet
of $12295 ore is being broken down
from stope $40 above the east drift

ed in vertical raise 503-D, which, it

START WORK ON
EMPIRE GROUP
FRED J. AMIGO AND ASSOCIATES
PLAN TO SINK TO CON-
TACT

After having lain practically idle
siLcc the early days of Goldfield, the
old Empire Goldfield Mining COM
pany property. adjoining on the
east the Lone Star Consolidated and
OF the norm the Commonwealth, is
again the scene of considerable ac-
tivity. Operations designed to
thoroughly and Systematically de-
velop the property have been in
augurated by Fred J. Amigo, who.
with E. Marks of Goldf1eld and c..
D. Terwilliger of Reno, several
weeks ago made to Joseph Shea of
Goldfield a substantial initial pay
ment upon working bond on the
ground. Mr.. Amigo is directing the
development work.
In the early days of the camp a
shaft was sunk on the property to a
depth of $50 feet and an east cross
cut extended $50 feet on that level
exposed two streaks of ore. One,
eight inches in width, gave assays of
$50 per ton and the other, sixteen
inches wide. $40 per ton. Finds
of high grade ore were also made on
the surface. Manager Amigo has
put a force of miners to work retim-
bering the shaft from the collar to
the bottom. Upon the completion
of this work, sinking will be re-
sumed with the latite-shale con-
tact, estimated to lie at depth or
500 feet, as the objective point. A
forty horsepower electric hoist has
been purchased and delivered on the
ground. A blacksmith shop and
other buildings are being erected. 1t
is the inteition of Mr.. Amigo and
his associates to later organize a
company.

Combination made the best showing
among the various mines of the
company in December in the pro-
duction of high-grade ore. yielding
III tons of $127.60 ore.
A. H. Howe, secretary and treas
urer, announced Thursday that the
company shipped the early part of
the week the largest bullion con-
signment sent out in the last three
years. 1t was consigned to the
United States mint at Denver, Colo,
and was valued at approximately
$211,OOO. The Goldfield Consoli-
dated shipment was accompanied by
bullion valued at $4,000 from the
Aurora Consolidated Mines COM
pany, which is controlled by the
former, the two lots of precious
metal having an aggregate value OF
$234,00O. The value of the bull
lion shipment and the figures con-
tanned in Mr.. Simpsons final report
on the December operations, as well
as the excellent showing that is be-
ing made this month by the various
properties of the Goldfield Console
dated, substantiate the recent state

vailing in them.

INVESTIGATING
LOCAL OUTLOOK
WELL-KNOWN MINING MEN ARE
LOOKING OVER THIS
DISTRICT

w. j. O'Meara, one of the best
known mining men of Salt Lake and
Los Angeles, arrived in Goldfield
Sunday accompanied by A. T. Var
den, an engineer of Butte, Mont.
Mr.. Warden was associated with the
Heinze brothers for eighteen years
and was formerly with the Lewis
ohns. He is here for the purpose of
getting acquainted with the district,
not having an opportunity to come
before or during the previous mining
boom which opened southern Ne
vada to the world.
Mr.. OMeara has been interested
in properties in Arizona and Kern
county, California, but believes this
is the best state in the union today
for making money in any department
of business. Mr. O'Meara, with his
brother, Michael J. O'Meara, held the
first lease in the Mizpah Tonopah
when it was owned by Jim Butler
and held it under the Tonopah Min
ing company shortly after that or
ganization was perfected.
The O'Mearas were the first oper-
ators to install gas hoist in the dis
trict and had cleaned up 100000
by the time the lease expired. The
brothers also gained possession of
the Stone Cabin. Wandering Boy
and Lucky Jim claims by buying
them from Ed Clifford. The Tono.
pah & Salt Lake company was organ
lied to operate the first two claims
named, which afterward were alb
sorbed by the Jim Butler company
and still rank as the chief assets of
that company. The Lucky Jim went
into the Montana Tonopah, which
the O'Mearas were instrumental in
organizing, and, singular to relate,
the Lucky Jim produced $3,0O0,00O
and was the only claim of the Mon
tana that paid for itself. The firm
was also instrumental in locating
the Silver Peak Valcalda, which was
sold to Senator Flynn Of Pittsburg
and added to the holdings of the
Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining COM
pany.
