the great vein, which appears to re
he main Consolidated lode, dippiis

another cross-Cut was driven to the

a boty of ore was exposed that
yielded a erage as ays around 81

WI le NJ attempt has yet been
made to stope any ore for shipment,
there are many points in the long

shown to vary greatly in value.

Ore of good milling grade is now
exposed in large quantity in WORK
ings of the Nevada Empress mine,
owned and operated by the Nevada
Cooperative Mines company AID
situated in the Gold Mountain dis
trict, 2S miles south of Goldfield.
Since tie property was acquired by
the Charles S. Sprague interests de-
velcpment work has been in prog
ress under the direction of J. X.
Turner. consulting engineer for the
mpany, by whose direction a sys-
TEN of work has been carried out
that has resulted in exposing the
ore at various points for a dis
tance of over 500 feet.
The property is worked entirely
through tunnels, driven into the
face of a steep mountain at varying
elevations. The main or lowest tun-
mel has been driven into the hill
over 500 feet and the vein was ex-
rosed ty raise from this tunnel

The ore is all free milling and
can be mined and treated at an ex-

has mill at the portal of the main
tunnel and all ore can be brought
to the mill bins by gravity and
treated by the simplest processes.

that found in the rich veins farther
south, and low assays in gold are
being obtained. Another drift will
be extended to the south on this
vein. The east cross-cut exposed
a smaller vein, which is plainly not
the main lode that was prospected
on the 500 level and which has
flattened perceptibly below the 500
level. 1t is the plan of Manager
Darcy to drive raise shortly from
the east cross-cut to determine the
position and dip of the main vein
near this depth.
GOldfield Merger Mines
The north drift of the Merger
Mines is progressing in the Sum
flower claim, near to and parallel
with the east side-line of the ad-
joining Velvet claim of the Jumbo
Extension. Several raises have
been driven from this cross-cut,
through the shale and into the la
tite,. but nothing of value has yet
been found in this work. The cross
cut is being continued and other
raises will be driven until the Jumbo
Extension ore-channel is exposed on
the contact. George II. Carey, the
company's consulting engineer and
a geologist of wide renown, is now
in Goldfield for the purpose of
checking up his geological analysis
of the property and outlining future
development work, in collaboration
with Manager Willis Lawrence.
Silver Pick Consolidated
Deep drilling operations will be
started shortly on the property of
the Silver Pick Consolidated COM

capable of reaching depth of over
1900 feet and which produces six

WORK OF GREAT BEND COMPANY
OUTLINED In OFFICIAL REPORT

A report on the operations of
the Goldfield Great Bend Mining
company has been prepared by J..
X. Turner, the company's consult
ing engineer, and is being sent u
the stockholders, accompanying a
cali for assessment No. 2, of onu
cert per share. The report indicates
that good progress has Deen made
in the work during the past few
mcnths and that operations have
been conducted in highly econ3
II al manner, in the face of unus-
ual obstacles. Mr. Turner's report
is as follows:
When the mine was taken over
from the leasers by your company
there was no equipment Of any va :
ue on the property, consequently
the company was forced to buy TN
entire new equipment. Work was
started On April Is, 1915 erecting
head frame and grading for COM
pres5or and engine house. On May
26 pumping was started with a No.
s Cameron sinker, working contll-
uousiy with three shifts until the
bottom of the vertical shaft, i20
feet, was reached. During this
entire period we also used a bail
ing bucket having capacity of eco
gallons.

found the shaft had been filled
with muck from the 250-foot point
to the bottom. This condition,
very heavy swelling ground. made
the unwa er'ng e. ee iing'y slow.

workings were filled to the back an"

bered
On reaching the breast of the
east drift, we continued the work,
and we are now 800 feet from the
end of the station, our objective
point being a point directly below

work we cut several promising

which has exposed the shale con-
tact, will be continued indefinitely,
wit cross-cuts at intervals to pros
pect the vein.
Atlanta Mines Co.
Shipments are going to the
sampler regularly from the Atlanta,
at the rate of about $50 tons week
ly, and the product is of sufficiently
good grade to yield substantial
profit over operating expenses.
Slopes on the 1580-foot level are
yielding the ore now peing shipped,
but ore of good grade, containing
gold, copper and little silver, Is
exposed on the 1920 and 1750-foot
levels.

from the sos cross-cut on the 1917
foot level. The quartz mass pene-
trated by the southeast cross-cut on
the third or SO0-foot level has been
correlated with the hanging wall
part of the main lode and this
ground is now yielding ore of ex-
cellent shipping grade.
ReOrganized Kewanas
At depth of $40 feet in the Ke-
wanas the development work has
been extended about 600 feet north
of the main working station, at the
bottom of the winze from the TOO
foot level, driven from the Laguna
shaft. For distance of 500 feet
the north drift has shown ore con-
tinuously, of varying grade, but
containing a considerable quantity
that will eventually yiedd a good
profit. A cross-cut is now being
driven west from the north drift,
near it's face, to reach the foot-wall
part cf the vein, wheer some ore
