GRANDMA CON.
SINKING FAST
CUT BIG VEIN BEFORE
LONG

Satisfactory progress is being
made in sinking the main shaft OF
the Grandma Consolidated company,
near the center of the Grandma
claim and at a point where it is
estimated the vein should be cut
at a depth of about ESQ feet. After
having had some difficulty on ac-
count of exceedingly hard rock, a
softer formation has been penetrat-
ed and progress is now more rapid.
Arrangements have been made to
secure a supply of compressed air
for the use of machine drills.
With it's, holdings more than
doubled in area by the acquisi-
tion of the adjoining Sunshine grouD
of claims. covering a long distance
on the strike and dip of it's main
vein system, the Grandma company
now has ample territory for a mine
of the first rank and it is un-
derstood that the company is IN
good financial condition. The vein
which should be cut by the shaft
within the next three weeks. has
shown some ore of good grade in
ground adjoining on the south,
at a depth of $50 feet, and from
it's appearance at the surface in
this territory the management has
confidence in exposing ore of COM
nercial grade in its present work.

MERGERS WORK
IN new GROUND
FAVORABLE INDICATIONS ARE
FOUND IN EXPLORING PRO-
PERTY At DEPTH

In the northern part of the st.
Ives claim, the Goldfield Merger
Mines company is exploring a large
area of virgin territory by means of
cross-cut, driven in a southerly
direction from the shale contact
drift on the 117O-foot level In
this territory, directly above the
present work, some ore of high
grade was extracted and shipped
by lessees several years ago, and
en- a deeper level large bodies Of
good quartz, containing seams Of
pay ore, were found in driving 20
connect the Merger workings with
those of the Grizzly Bear mine of
the Goldfield Consolidated
The dip of the veins to the east,
however, brings the new work in
to virgin ground in an intermediate
zone, and the recent discovery of
quartz of good appearance in the
progress of this work affords en-
courag agement to the belief that there
is a good chance for finding ore
in commercial quantity at this
depth. The operations of the Mer-
ger company are being conducted
through the Grizzly Bear shaft OF
the Consolidated.

SILVER PICK
SHAFT IN
QUARTZ
STATION IL BEING CUT IN PRE-
PARATION FOR LATERAL
WORK

Conditions in the shaft of the
Silver Pick Consolidated company
are said to be better and more pro-
missing than at any time in the
past, with quartz of excellent char
acter showing in the bottom of the
shaft At a depth of over 1850
feet a station is now being cut
from which a cross-cut will be start
ed at once to the west, and the
sump is being lowered to provide
for any flow of water that may
be encountered in the lateral work
about to be undertaken.
powerful hosting engine has
been installed recently and the
equipment is now OF ample capa-
city for the large amount OF deep
development work planned The
company has just issued a call for
an assessment of two cents per
share, and it is said that the funds
realized from this call will be am
pie to provide all necessary ma
chinery and equipment for the
work at depth and will defray
operating costs for some time to
come
Mining men and geological au-
tIorities continue to express the
keenest interest in the work of
the Silver Pick, which appears to
have revealed conditions of great
Importance, the existence Of which
was not suspected heretofore, and
is believed to have opened new
and highly significant opportunities
in the area west of the Columbia
Mountain fault and the main ore
channel of the Goldfield district.
No claim is made by the man
agement that any appreciable guam
tity of ore in place has been ex~
posed in sinking the shaft, but it
is said that MANY good assays have
been obtained, varying from $25 TO
500 per ton in gold and copper.
together with some in excess of
800 per ton. These assays, for the
most part, are said to have cone
from small seams of ore, but the
number OF these seams and the
highly mineralized condition of the
great quartz zone penetrated in
sinking afford encouragement to the
belief that important deposits of
pay ore will be exposed upon fur
ther opening this channel by means
of drifts and raises.

Development of a substantial ma

Consolidated Mines company is
going forward at the present time
at a lively gait. In addition to
the work being carried on by the
company in the main workings,
where good headway is being made,

engaged opening up blocks of ground

splendid headway during the past
30 days, during which time 100
feet of development work has been
accomplished.
The lessees are now working
in the 100 and 200-foot levels and
expect to increase their working
force shortly.
This work is being carried on
with a view of opening the exten-

of Manager Dyer to drive cross

DiamOndfield Black Butte
Reports from the Orizaba mine,
controlled by the Black Butte COM
pany, indicate that mine of great
value has been acquired and that
with the property opened at great
er depth the controlling company
will be placed at once in the profit
earning ranks. Many persons have
sampled the Orizaba property re-
Gently and have secured many high
assays. Plans are now under con-
sideratiOn to sink the shaft another
100 feet and it is the opinion Of
competent authorities that this
work will make available large
tonnage of shipping ore. 1t is re-
ported that high-grade ore has been
exposed by lessees on the local
property of the Black Butte com
pany, and a core drill will be in
operation here shortly
Jumbo Junior
The recent discovery in the Jumbo
Junior property, at a depth of $50
feet, is pronounced by mining au-
thorities to be one of the most
important of recent years and gives
promise of opening an orebody of
great value. The ore was found in
driving near the hanging wall, from
the workings of the adjoining jun
bo Extension mine. and the drift
has continued in ore of commercial
grade for over 60 feet. A winze is
now being sunk in the vein and is
showing ore of better grade than in
the drift.

A raise has been started from the

made to drive raise to cut the

low assays in gold, but there has
been no expectation of finding the

GREAT BEND
GETS HIGH
ASSAYS
CROSS-CUT ON 3OO-FOOT LEVEL
CUTS LOFTUS-DAVIS
ORE-SHOOTS

One of the most important de
velopments in the history of opera
tions on the Great Bend property
has been reported within the past
few days, when a north cross-cut
from the east drift on the 3O0~foot
level penetrated the orebody that
was exposed several years ago by n
winze, sunk from the 250-foot level
by lessees. Great interest has at
tached to the opening of this ore
shoot on the 3OO-foot level, as high
assays were obtained above this
point by the lessees, who were
driven out by water.
The lessees reached this ground
through the old incline shaft and
south drift along the foot-wall
of the vein, which is about 40 feet
wide here. The winze was flooded
when the ore-shoot was cut and
as the lessees had made no pro-
vision to handle water at this dis
tance from the old shaft, they were
compelled to abandon further sink
ing and this ground has remained
untouched ever since. Records
kept by the lessees showed that
the ore found here gave some SEN
sational assays.
Following the plan outlined
some time ago by Superintendent
Jack Campbell and Consulting En-
gineer ]. K Turner, the east drift
on the 300-foot level was extended
to a point directly opposite the
old winze as near as could be de-
termined from the fragmentary rec
ords 'of rarlier- work and ?. cross
cut was driven north to the foot
wall. Heretofore all work of the
company under the present man.
agement has been confined to the
hanging wall side of the vein, eX-
cepting for small amount of work
on the 45O-foot level, and two
large and valuable orebodies have
been found in this work.
At approximately the point where
Superintendent Campbell expected
to cut the Loftus-Davis ore-shOcc,
the cross-cut exposed ore and has
continued in material of excellent
grade. Plat samples of the ore
broken in the ground have been
averaging from $25 to $35 per
ton, with occasional returns cou-
siderably higher and at one point
an assay taken across 16' inches.
yielding over $3.50 per ton.
A substantial tonnage of ship
ping ore is being opened up here,
as we'll as in the hanging wall ore
shoot, where the drift progressed
for about As feet in ore averag-
ing above SIS per ton.
