ATLANTA DRIVES
SOUTH ON VEIN
CROSS-CUTS TO BE DRIVEN TO
PROSPECT GREAT
CHANNEL

On the 1750-foot level, the great
est depth at which development
work is being conducted in south
ern Nevada, the Atlanta Mines COM
pany is exploring the main Gold
field Consolidated vein, which dips
into it's territory from the west.
From cross-cut driven west
from the main Atlanta workings
on this level, drift is being ex
tended to the south, near the cen
ter of the vein, and at a point 100
feet from the crOss-cut, now nearly
reached, cross-cuts will again be
driven to the walls to prospect for
an orebody.
The main cross-cut was driven
through the vein for over 60 feet,
finally exposing the shale on the
foot-wall side. The present explofa
tory work is being conducted partly
with the object of seeking an ore
shoot of good promise which was
exposed in driving on the 1900 foot
level, just over the boundary line,
in the Grizzly Bear claim of the
Goldfeld Consolidated. This ore
shoot yielded some excellent assays
and was shown to rake sharply to
the south, into Atlanta territory.

Conditions in the Silver Pick Con-
sClidated property are attracting
widespread interest, particularly
among those who have made study
OF the geology of the Goldfield dis
trict and are familiar with the re-
suits obtained in deep mining at
other points. Present operations Of
the company are in the nature of
pioneer work, since this work is the
first to attain any considerable depth
west of the Columbia Mountain fault
O. west of the main ore-channel oil
t4e district.
Early-day theories and opinions
regarding the geology of this terri
tory have been completely .over-
turned; the presence of hitherto
unknown and apparently extensive
mineralized area has been establish
ed and this part of the district is
now looked upon as holding possi-
b;lities equal to any in the more
extensively prospected area.

DRILL TO WORK
ON BLACK BUTTE
ORIZABA PROPERTY is REPORT
ED TO BE IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION

Favorable reports continue to come
from the Orizaba property, which is
controlled by the Diamondfield Black
Putte company of Goldfield and is
situated about 80 miles north of
the town of Millers. Numbers of
experienced mining men, engineers
and mine managers have inspected
the Orizaba property recently and
their expressions of opinion have
been such as to indicate that the
mine is one of substantial proved
merit and of great prospective value.
Preparations are being made to
prospect the Diamondfield property
OF the Black Butte company by
means of a core drill. The equip
ment has been purchased and will
be on the ground shortly, when the
first deep hole will be bored at a
point southwest of the butte, where
large veins have been explored to
some extent and their course and
dip determined.
Work is now in progress on the
10O-foot level, near the famous
Quartzite workings, from which a
production of nearly 100000 in
high-grade shipping ore was made
in the early days of the camp.

FLORENCE PLANT
GREAT SUCCESS
NOW TREATING 300
TONS DAILY BY FLOTA-
TION PROCESS

The flotation plant of the Flor
ence Goldfield company is operating
successfully and turning out con-
centrate from which a substantial
profit is realized. The plant is now
treating an average of 200 tons
6aily, with recovery of practically
all of the copper and between S5
and 90 per cent of the gold aud
silver content of the ore. The
most gratifying results have fol-
lowed the installation and use of
the Jones-Belmont flotation ma
chine, the invention of an employe of
the Tonopah-Belmont company and
constructed in that camp.
This machine combines the prir-
ciples of machines or flotation cells
in which the frothing is obtained
by agitation and by pneumatic pres
sure, and the single machine is ro-
ceiving the entire mill-feed OF 200
tons daily and turning out bet
ter rough concentrate than the six
machines following it in operation.
The use of additional machines Of
this type is under consideration.
Development work has exposed a
large tonnage OF good ore in the
territory adjacent to workings CT
the old Rogers-Syndicate lease. at
depth of $50 feet and in the
southern part of the property. The
ore has been opened by raises for
considerable distance above this
level and is uniformly good grade
throughout. Ore for the flOtation
plant is also coming from the $50
foot level and from intermediate
points.

The results of development on
the 300-fOot level continue eratifv-
ing to the Great Bend management

Preparations are being made to
sink winze in the ore and the drift
will be extended to the east.
SILVER I'Ick CONS.
Developments in the Silver Pick
mine have aroused much interest
and comment among mining authori-
ties, who see possibilities of a new
productive area, west of the main
ore-channel of the district. The
shaft has reached a depth of more
than 1000 feet and is said to have
been in quartz, showing occasional
intrusions of barren material and
yielding high assays in other places
for distance of about 200 feet.
This condition is one calculated to
arouse the keenest interest here,
as the company's work is in ground
that was long thought to be barren
and cut off from any possible en-
richment by the great fault. Her
man Zadig, president of the com
pany, has authorized the statement
that many assays have been secured
in this quartz zone, varying from
$50 to $50 per ton in gold and cop
per. with some considerably high
er returns. The third drill hole is

OF one cent per share, payable at

%. The report indicates that the
recent work of the company has
afforded substantial ground for en-
couragement and that there are
good respects for placing the mine
on producing basis in the future.
Mr.. D'Arcys report is as follows:
Since the last report concerning
the property of the Reorganized Kc-
wanas Mining company, dated July
9TH, 1916, the operation of the pro-
pcrty has been continuous and CON
fined to the development of the
vein exposed on the S4O-foot level.
The development of the vein has
been carried forward by means of
n main drift along the course of
the vein to the north and at inter
walls along this drift. cross-cuts have
been extended to the walls of the
vein, and raises driven to explore
the vein as it extended upward. AS
result of this exploration a limit
ed tonnage of low grade ore has
been exposed, which could be sue
cessfully treated by flotation as it
Is sulphide ore containing gold,
silver and copper and identical in
every respect to the ore now beng
successfully treated at the Gold
field Consolidated mill.
In addition to the low grade ore.
several prospects of higher grade
ore have been encountered. samples
from which have given assay returns
Of from $4,000 to $1,000 per ton in
gold, silver and copper.
The higher grade ore has not
been found in sufficient quantity to
he mined separately. but it is pro-
bable that by following the "pros-
poets" of higher grade ore, larger
bodies of this ore may be found.
Another favorable outlook for
the kewanas is the recent disclosure
OF ore on the property of the Jum-
bo Junior company, which joins the
property Of the Kewanas on the
south. Average samples across the
breast of the drift on Jumbo Junior
have been taken every day as the
Grift has been advanced to the north
and the assay returns of the
samples have shown a gradual i'm
plovement in values, until now the
indications are that large tom
mage of ore will be developed. and
that this ore will be of sufficient
value to be shipped profitably to the
snelters.
The vein in which this ore is be-
ing found will enter Kewanas pro-
perty on it's course to the norrh,
and it is expected that the Kewanas
will benefit very materially by this
discovery in Jumbo Junior.

JUMBO JUNIORS
Discovery IS
IMPORTANT
ORE OF GOOD GRADE NOW EX-
POSED FOR A LONG
DISTANCE

The'recent discovery at depth of
$50 feet in the Jumbo Junior prop
erty is now generally regarded as
one of the most significant and po-
tentally most important made in the
district within the past two years
or more, particularly in view of it's
bearing upon conditions in adjoining
properties. Students of the geology
of this part of the district see pos
sibilities of this discovery having an
important influence upon the Jumbo
Extension, Kewanas, Spearhead or
Merger Mines, according to their the
ories of the dip and pitch of the ore.
In the opinion of the best au-
thorities only the top of an ore
body of considerable extent has been
exposed by the drift on the SS0-foot
level. This belief is supported by
the fact that the best ore has shown
throughout the bottom of the e
and that still better ore is now show
ing in a winze, just started from the
drift.
The discovery was made under
conditions almost identical with
those surrounding the strike in the
adjoining Velvet claim of the Jum-
DO Extension, about two years ago,
when the lower grade ore was found
above the shale contact zone and its
further exploration at depth led to
the opening of the bonanza orebody
that yielded shipping ore to the gross
value of over $2,0O0,000. 1t
is pointed out that in the case of
the Jumbo Extension difference in
depth of only 21 feet made the diff
ference between an uncertain pros
pect and a producing mine.
Work not far from this point has
established the fact that the shale
contact zone is but little deeper and
results obained elsewhere lend sup
port to the belief that greate~ cor
centration of the minerals va. oe
found in the contact zone" with con-
ditions favorable to the deposition OF
large bodies of high-grade ore.
Since the ore-shoot was pene-
trated the drift has advanced over
60 feet in ore of commercial grade,
yielding assays across the full face
varying from SIG to $50 per ton,
and latest reports indicate decided
improvement in the quality of the
ore. The new winze, down only
about six feet, has shown better ore
than the drift 1t is reported that

OLDEST INDUSTRY OF EARTH
Production OF Grain 10 Easily Entitled
to the Credit Which Belongs
to the Title.

"In the early history of the race our
ancestors probably noticed that certain
birds and animals sought much of
their food In the seeds OF grasses while
the smaller animals dug into the earth
for roots and tubers," said Ernest
Clark, English chemist, In addressing
the congress Of applied chemistry.
"Thus man early learned to make
the starchy foods one of the main ar
ticles of his daily fare, and II Is true
today that among all peoples in all
climates bread from cereals or some
starchy substance is considered the
staff Of life" he continued.
The greatest source of starehy food
ls, of course. the seeds of the various
cereals which we classify as grain.
The amount of such material produced
by the soil In "a year is almost beyond
calculation. The production of this
golden food of grain Is the earths
oldest and greatest industry
TO produce these harvests the soil
supplies the water and mineral nutrl
ments, while the carbon dioxide and
sunlight lend their aid through M
effort of man. His duty, then, Is to sea
that the soil Is kept In Its most pro
| ductlve condition, The observation Of
/ primitive man that the seeds OF certain
| plants made an acceptable food wal

WHY BANANAS CATCH COLD

You have probably had many a ba-
mana that has been covered with
brown spots and streaks of brown and

particular fruit has caught a bad cold.

The big green punches of fruit are

aud to come to perfection they must
be kept In an even temperature. Any
sudden change of heat. a rush of cold
air or draft, makes the fruit spotted
and 1t quickly becomes sodden aud un.

cold.
When that happens the punches OF
