1000 per ton.
Working without mining machin-
cry, the lessees on the Sandstorm
stopped the rich ore from near the
surface and never worked below
a depth of about 60 feet. At this
depth the ore showed a falling
off in grade, but some of the ma
terial remaining was of quality
that would pay well to mine un-
der present conditions.
Early work from the Sandstorm
shaft was limited in scope and no
attempt was made to explore this
vein at depth. The present work
is from the Kendall shaft, through
which the tompany's operations
have been conducted in recent years.
The cross-cut was driven to the
southeast and cut the vein almost
Immediately under the old lease
workings.
AS the ore-shoots here are known
to rake sharply to the south, drift
is being advanced rapidly in that
direction, in the hope that these
orebodies will be found to extend
to depth. Samples from the drift
are already yielding low assays in

JACKSON T.-CUPR|TE DISTRICT
new CENTER OF MINING ACTIVITY

Interest is being attracted in in
creasing measure to the Jackson
Mountain-Cuprite district, 16 miles
south of Goldfield, and particularly
t. that part of the large district in
which development work is now
being conducted by men in the
employ of Ex-senator William A..
Clark of Montana. This work is
being conducted on the Rea pro-
perty, upon which an option was
taken some time ago by Senator
Clark. The main shaft of this
property has been equipped with
powerful machinery, including com
pressor and air drills, and the
work of sinking is making rapid
progress.

400 feet it has exposed ore of

zone and has cut a number of seams
of ore yielding good assays, one Of
these seams having assayed $55 per

Changes that are now being
made in the pumping system in
the st. Ives shaft of the Merger
Mines company will result in i'm
pcrtant economies for that COM

new arrangement the water will be
raised from the sump of the Mer-

Approximately 100 feet of cross

velopment plans of George II. Gar
rey, the New York consulting geolo-
gist who was retained by the Mer-
ger Mines company to advise with

part of the Sunflower claim, near
the Jumbo Extension property.
Operating from the Grizzly Bear
shaft of the Goldfield Consolidated,
at depth of 1860 feet, the Merger
company extended a cross-cut along
the surface of the shale, nearly
across the northern end of the st.
Ives claim. Later a cross-cut from
this drift was driven north, near the
center of the claim and directly into
the shale, and from this a raise was
driven to again cut the contact and
n drift followed this contact east
into the Sunflower claim.

Car samples of the material brok-

property have continued lately to
average from 81 to 81 per ton, and
in view of the fact that work was
started only recently on the prop

The property adjoins the Sand
storm-Kendall Consolidated on the
east and the veins of the two prop

Sandstorm has produced a large ton
mage of exceedingly rich ore from
workings at comparatively shallow

SILVER PICK IN
GOOD CONDITION
MAIN SHAFT IS PROGRESSING
RAPIDLY TOWARD THE
SHALE CONTACT

The main shaft of the Silver Pick
Consolidated company is being sunk
by contract from the 700-foot level
and is rapidly nearing the point at
IL depth of less than 1000 feet, where
high assays were obtained from the
cores brought up by the Calyx drill,
in sinking from the bottom of the
shaft The cores indicated that the
drill penetrated the shale contact
and after passing through some 40
feet of shale entered another quartz
channel, believed to mark the con-
tact of the shale and alaskite.
Interest mas been aroused by re-
ports that the Calyx drill, operating
from the 5O0-foot level and at
point over 400 feet west of the
main shaft, lately penetrated an
other and heretofore unknown vein,
from which high assays were oh
tanned in drill cores. This ore
was cut at a depth of less than 700
feet from the surface, according
to statements of the management,
and at some distance from the
Phelan vein, indicating the pre-
sence here of an entirely new vein
and of pay ore.

mine. This ore is mixed profitably
with a product of higher grade at
the sampler and yields an appreci-
able profit to the Jumbo Extension
company.
New development work of import
ance has been started lately on the
deepest level of the mine, at a
depth of 1917 feet. The northeast
drift, which has been following the
main fissure within the shale at
this depth, is now being advanced
toward the boundary line of the ad-
joining Jumbo Junior property and

JUMBO EXTENSION DIRECTORATE
IS Chosen At annual MEETING

The annual meeting of the Jumbo
Extension Mining company was held
July Is at Phoenix, Ariz., when a di-
rectorate was chosen composed of
Charles S. Sprague, J. X. Turner,
Ben Gill, Willard P. Ward and
Charles D. Olney. The officers of
the company will remain the same
as last year. At this meeting l.
100000 shares of the company's
stock were voted by President
Sprague, with no contest and no
others voting, fact which indicates
the degree of confidence reposed in
the present management and Off,
ciary by the stockholders.
The last-named director, Charles
d. Olney, was elected to succeed A.
l. Darcy, who had resigned from
the directorate owing to the pres
sure of work and demands on his
time and efforts in other directions.
Mr.. Olney has long been connected
with other Goldfield companies in
an official capacity and resides in
San Francisco. Charles S. Sprague
continues as president, ]. X. Turner
as vice-president and general super
intendent, and Ben Gill as secre-
tary and treasurer

LONE STAR HAS
GOOD PROSPECTS
DRIFT NEARING POINT WHERE
RICH ORE-SHOOT MAY
BE FOUND

Following a seam of ore that has
been yielding assays around SIG
per ton, the southeast drift from
the Nelligan shaft of the Lone Star
Consolidated is making satisfactory
progress, and it is estimated by
superintendent Emory Arnold that
another Is or 20 feet of driving
should cut the ore-shoot that was
exposed at a depth OF about $50
feet in the old lease workings from
the Patrick shaft If conditions are
found to be satisfactory here the
shaft now in use will be sunk to
depth.
In earlier work from the Nelligan
shaft in this direction, a course was
taken toward the hanging wall, but
the work did not progress to a point
where the Patrick ore-shoot could
have been found. In the lease work
ings the ore was found on the foot
wall siae of the vein and raking to-
ward the Nelligan workings.
Within small area the lessees
shipped ore that is said to have
yielded net profits in excess of
$4,000, but no attempt was made
to follow the ore to greater depth.
The ground now being explored has
always been regarded as the most
promising of any embraced in the
big property.

The first 5OU-ron unit of the new
fiOtatiOn plant of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company is oper-
ating with complete success and the
second, bringing the capacity up to
a minimum of 1000 tons daily, will
be in operation shortly The first
unit has been treating from $50 to
500 tons daily and fulfilling COM
pletely the eXpectotions of Manager
Hutchinson and his assistants, who
had conducted experiments on an
exhaustive scale during a period OF
several months with a 50-tOn test
plant. Treating the general run Of
ore from all parts of the company's
mines, the new plant is capable of
effecting a recovery of at least 92
per cent of the gold and 80 pr cent
OF the copper content, while the
cost of treatment is considera bly, less
than by cyanidation and the cost of
mill operation will be greatly re-
duced. The company will now be
enabled to treat profitably it's cop
per-bearing ores, which are found in
great quantity on the deeper levels
of it's mines and which could not be
treated to advantage by the cyanide
process.
Jumbo Extension
Conditions in the Jumbo EXten-
sion mine continue satisfactory and
regular production of over 100
tons daily of shipping ore is being
made. in addition to some dump ore
that is being sold to the Western
Ore Purchasing company. Develop
ments in the northeastern part of
the Velvet claim continue gratifying
and the company's assay records in
dicate that there is still much ore
of high grade in the main workings
of the Velvet and Paloverde claims.
The annual meeting of the company
was held during the week at Phoe-
nix, AriZ., when Charles S. Sprague.
J. K Turner, Ben Gill, Willard p.
Ward and Charles d. Olney were
chosen directors for the next fiscal
year. The officers of the company
will continue as heretofore, with

Ground that is now being explor-
ed at a depth of $40 feet in the
property of the Reorganized Ke-

now advanced about 700 feet, has
been showing seams of ore that
have yielded high assays, although
no body of ore of commercial vol

the fact that the Kewanas will
eventually supply considerable
quantity of ore that can be treated
profitably by flotation.
