UP PRODUCTION
NEW GALLONS FRAME WILL
SOON BE PLACED INTO
COMMISSION

General Superintendent Harry B.
ing company expects to place the new
huge gallows frame, recently erect
ed around the old one, at the main
working shaft of the mine in COM
mission by October 1 or soon there
after. The sheave wheels for the
new frame are expected to arrive on
the ground from the makers in To-
nopah and be installed by that time,
as we'll as the two new two and Il
half ton skips for the shaft.
Developments at the mine contin-
ue of a routine character, as is evi-
denced by the fact that thus far this
month the shipments have aggre-
gated six carloads or approximately
500 tons. The output is being
largely yielded by slopes b and C on
the new vein above the $50 foot lev
el, approximately 500 feet north of
the main shaft in the old Florence
Consolidated leasehold. Slope B is
being extended on four feet of ore
ranging in value from $40 to $50 per
ton, while three feet of ore assaying
from SIS to SIS per ton is being
broken down in stope c. Preliminary
to the thorough exploration of the
walls of the famous Reilly stope, a
crOsscut has been started into the
east or footwall side of it at depth
of about $50 feet to connect with
another crosscut being driven west.

LATERAL WORK
IS IN PROGRESS
GREAT BEND Is DRIFTING TO
ORE BODY ON 4OO-FOOT
LEVEL

After many months of preparatory
work, including the unwatering of
the workings and the repair Of the
main 400-foot vertical shaft. made
necessary by the inactivity of the
company for a period of eight years
prior to the acquisition of control by
the Sprague interests. actual lateral
operations have been resumed at the
Great Bend property in the Diamond
field section of the Goldfield dis
trict. Superintendent Jack Camp
bell has placed the workings in
splendid shape and operations in the
future should make great headway.
Having been cleaned out for a
distance of 70 feet from the short
north crosscut from the shaft on the
400 foot level, the point to which
it was advanced in the early day Op-
erations, work is again under way
in the east drift on the middle Daisy
vein. 1t is the plan of the manage
ment to extend this drift to inter
cept the downward extension of the
ore body which in a winZe from the
2S0-foot level shows width of four
feet and gives average values of $40
per ton. 1t is calculated that to
reach the objective point it will be
necessary to extend the drift approx
imately 1875 feet.
From the bottom of the twenty
foot sump of the shaft below the 400
foot point, crosscut to the south is
being extended. 1t will be advanc-
ed about so feet, and while it will
be temporarily used for the storage
of water it will later be continued to
intercept the south Daisy vein, which
parallels the middle Daisy vein about
100 feet away on the surface. The
new station pump, recently ordered
is expected to arrive at the property
within the next ten days or two
weeks. Consulting Engineer j. x.
Turner. who is at present in Califor-
mia, has wired President Sprague of
the purchase by him of two jack
hammer drills which will replace
the hand steel at present being used
in the operations.

tinuation of the rich ore body has
never been found, Notwithstanding
years of persistent operations on the
part of the company to reveal it..
The Quartzite vein, running in a
northerly and southerly direction,
traverses the Quartzite claim while
the Marine vein trends southwest and
northeast. The new find in the
Marine lease, about the middle of
the Black Butte No. claim, in all
directions, and beneath the flat to
the southwest of the peak known as
the Black Butte, is more than 1000
feet i'm distance from the Quartzite
stope located on the eastern side, but
near the top of the eminence named.
While the locality clearly shows
marked disturbance in that section
of the district and the new find is
lower than the lowest point at which
ore was extracted from the Quartz
ite stope, any relation that one may
bear to the other remains to be
demonstrated. On the 300-foot level
of the main shaft on the property
the company has for some time been
conducting an extensive campaign of
exploratory work designed to reveal
the extension of the Quartzite ore
body. OF late there has been an i'm
provement in the geological condi-
tions that has justly increased the

Of the recent disclosure of picture

company, the scene of numerous sem
sational discoveries in the early days
of this camp. Although additional
exploratory work will be required to
determine it's real significance and
magnitude, results already accomp-
lished in opening up the new ore
body fully Justify the prediction
that the find will eclipse the early
production of upwards of $500, 900
of the famous quartzite stope above
the so foot level of the same prop
erty.
In the opinion of the management
and all local mining men familiar
with the property the new discovery
bears no relation to the Quartzite
stope ore body, as might reasonably
be supposed in view of, the fact that
about at the 15O-foot point the
Quartzite vein was abruptly cut off

JUNCTION OF TWO
VEINS IS SOUGHT
SUPT. KNICKERBOCKER MAKING
GOOD HEADWAY In
OPERATIONS

General superintendent F. b.
Knickerbocker is making splendid
headway in driving at depth of 100
feet from the main working shaft to-
ward the junction of the east and
west and the southeast and north
west veins in the property of the New
Goldfield Simmerone Mining COM
pany Thus far the crosscut has
been extended 270 feet and 1t is ex-
pected that the objective point will
be reached within the next thirty to
fifty feet In view of the results OBJ
tanned on the surface in the early
days of the camp and in the suhse-
quent sinking of winZe to a depth
of 65 feet from a tunnel of shallow
depth, it is reasonable to expect that
the disclosure of the junction of
veins will be accompanied by dis
covery of Importance.
The winze referred to, sunk by
leasers about year ago, opened up
chimney or pipe of ore which
yielded sorted output of $4,000.
The downward extension of this ore
body, the yield of which included
a considerable quantity of picture
rock. is expected to be found at the
junction of the vein sought. On the
surface the southeast and northwest
vein varies in width from two and
half to five feet and has given as
says as high as 5000 per ton and bet
ter. while the east and west vein is
from a foot and half to two and a
half feet wide and assays from SIS to
$24 per ton In the infancy of the
camp the Simmerone was the scene
of several sensational strikes In ad-
dition to it's property the company
holdings include lease on the ad-
joining north 400 feet of the terri
tory of the Reorganiz4d Blue Bull
Mining company.

rection.
1t is on account of the large area
of the property that the manage
ment has at various times almost
since the organization of the COM
pany given over sections of it -
lessees for development. The op-
erations of Mr.. Marine and associ-
ates, however, are of very recent
origin. They secured their lease
hold, which includes the old Dortsch
shaft, sunk in the infancy of the
camp, about a month ago and re-
sumed the extension of the southwest
drift on the 10 foot level of that
shaft. They had proceeded only a
short distance when there appeared
in the drift face streak of ore two
feet wide that assayed $12 per ton.
Soon thereafter the streak widened
out to two and a half feet and gave
average values of around $40 per
ton. AS the extension of the drift
has progressed there has been a
steady improvement with the result
that the entire drift is now yielding
average returns of better than 5000
in gold and silver, the former pre-
dominating by large margin. Pick
ed samples of this ore is picture rock,
showing free gold and tellurium to
the naed eye. To say the least, the

UNDER WAY

Development work at the property
of the Silver Pick Consolidated
Mines company is going steadily
ahead and encouraging results are
being obtained. During the absence
of General Superintendent Walter
S. Norris, who, accompanied by his
wife, left recently for a vacation
outing in the Reese river valley in
the central part of the state, oper-
ations are being directed by Louis
Bannister.
The work of cutting station at
the 600-foot point in the 700 foot
main shaft has just been completed
and a crosscut to the east has been
started to intercept the vein recently
revealed by a raise put up from the
east crosscut on the bottom level at
a point $50 feet from the shaft 1t
is calculated that the new crOsscut
will reach it's objective point so
feet distant from the shaft. The

raise referred to at a point "a feet
above the 700-foot level, trends
north and south and dips to the east

Wednesday that it was too early to
make definite statement as to che
extent and importance of the new

GOLDFiELD MINING MEN OPER-
ATING ON LARGE SCALE
AT BELLEVILLE

f. c. Beedle, general manager of
the Belleville Tailings association,
which is treating. under lease, the
tailngs of the old Holmes mill at
Belleville, Mineral county, is a Wis
itor in Goldfield on business. He
reports that the company is opera /
ing full tilt and that highly satis-
factory results are being obtained
Although little has been published
as to it's operations, the association,
composed of Goldfield mining men,
has been working on the tailings
from the ores of Candelaria, milled
il the palmy days of that camp, since
July of last year, laying off only dur
ing the winter months. The plant
erected by the association represents
an outlay of approximately $4,000
and the equipment includes sixteen
100-ton teaching plants. three 20
ton solution tanks and three 25-ton
sump tanks A 25-horsepower hoist
and scraper are used in elevating
the tailings to the plant from the
ground
Thus far the company has treat
ed approximately 10000 tons OF
tailings. Mr.. Beedle estimates that
there remains at least 100000 tons
of tailings Tests made show the
tailings to average around IS per
ton An excellent extraction is be-
ing made. The association is at
present employing force of 1 8 men
and is treating about 115 tons Of
tailings daily.

Shipments are being made upon the
scale that has prevailed for many
months past, namely. eighty tons
daily. This output is made up of
the mixed yield of the various drifts,
rais,s and Slopes in the ore bodies
and continues to average around $45
per ton. Rapid progress is being
made in sinking operations in the
cid Original Velvet lease or No. 2
shaft on the Velvet claim of the

increased from two to three daily,
and an average of five feet each day
is being made. The shaft is now
approximately 500 feet in depth. 1t
