The main north drift of the Ke-
wanas at depth of $40 feet has
now reached a point nearly 500
feet north of the working station
in the winze and has been tenn
porarily stopped while another
oross-cut is being driven to the
west to explore the foctwall part og
the big lode. For nearly 400 feet
the drift showed ore continuously
and varying in quality from pro
duet of low milling grade to good
shipping grade, but no attempt has
yet been made to stope any of this
ore as it has been deemed better
rclIcy TO continue the exploration
of the vein farther to the north.
At point about 500 feet north
of the winze, Manager Darcy

BUYS PART OF

FRANK HUNT OF CHICAGO SAID
TO HAVE TAKEN OVER
INTEREST

The announcement was made
here thisf week that a one-half N
terest in the now famous Dunf"e
lease at Hornsilver had been ac~
quired by Frank Hunt, formerly Of
Chicago, who has lately acquired
other interests in this and tributary
districts. 1t is reported that the
cor sideration involved was in the
neiehborhood of $4,000. The
lease, which is on the Orlean
property, near the center of the
Hcrnsilver district, has produced
ana shipped during the past six
months ore to the value of SCI, ,001,
according to report, and there is
still a considerable quantity ~
shipping ore on the dump.
]. w. Dunfee, who secured and
has operated the lease up to the
present time, completed new
working shaft recently, by raising
from the 240-foot level to the
surface, and is now sinking this
shaft another 100 feet to get un-
der the Zig orebody that has been
supplying the shipping ore on tho
240-foot level. The new leasing
firm is said to be planning the
early construction of a mill to treat

Reports from the Jumbo Exten-
sion mine show that the property is
in excellent condition, with ore OF
high grade showing at many points
in the workings exploring the shale
contact. Interesting results have
been obtained lately in the explora-
tion of virgin territory, opening new
and important possibilities for
parts of the property of which lit
tie or nothing has been known in
the past. New development work
is about to start from the No. or
Velvet shaft, from the stations just
completed on the $50 and 900-foot
levels. Veins of great strength and
promise are known to exist in this
part of the property and large bod
les of low-grade ore, together with
good seams of higher grade ma
terial, have been found in cross
cutting for connections with the
new shaft on the 100 and 900 lev
els, and large vein, of excellent
appearance, was passed through by
tHlS SHdiC between the SOU ana SUU-
foot points. A new discovery on
the S00-foot level, between the
Paloverde shaft and the new Vel
vet Slopes, is regarded as significant,
since it is in the center of a large
block of unexplored ground. Ship
ments continue at the rate of over
100 tons daily.
Atlanta Mines Co.
On the 15S0-foot level of the
Atlanta the main stope has been ex-
tended about SO feet above the level
and has been producing ore of good
shipping grade, which is sent to the
smelters at the rate of about $50
tons weekly. A body of richer ore,
assaying up to $50 per ton. was
exposed in this stope lately, but
was not of large size, and the aver
age is now considerably lower than
that figure, but yields good profits.

GOLDFIELD OPERATOR REGARDS
OATMAN AS COMING DISTRICT

Still another of the most i'm
portant mine operators of the cou T.
try has set his seal of approval
upon the Oatman district, and has
backed his judgment with good
harl cash through the purchase Of
n large acreage of inside ground.
Thi: time it is Charles S. Sprague,
president and general manager Of
the Jumbo Extension Mining com
pany, the big dividend payer OF
Goldiield, and the sensation of the
mining stock market the past wear
He is operating three other prop
critics in Nevada and is now COX
tending his operations into Arizona.
The Oatman Miner last week an
nounced the purchase of the Mer-
ritt group by Sprague. Since then
.oe has added the Emma lode claim
and Elephant fraction adjoining 20
round out the Merritt group, and
nJW it is announced that his nc
QUESTIONS also comprise the prop
critics of the Dome Mining company
on the one side of the Merritt ana
the Yankee on the other, making
125 acres in the heart of the
district.
Mr.. Sprague was in Oatman this
week and was interviewed before
ne left camp. In answer to !t
query as to what he thought of tho
district, he said:

In my judgment, Oatman has more

generally it has been so uniformly
approved by mining engineers that
there can &c but .one conclusoE.

fact Is CT the greatest economic IT,

t'o more money to reach the ore
cnan in some other districts where
Ihe values are nearer the sur

reduce the ore after it is mined.
In the problem of mining the pro-
Guction and reduction equations are
equally important.

OF
MINE ACCIDENTS
NEVADA INDUSTRIAL COMMIS..
SION TELLS OF BIG COM
PANY'S EXPERIENCE

The recent report of the Nevada
Industrial commission embodies
chapter on Accident Prevention"
from which the following is repro
duced:
"A concrete illustration of the
gratifying results obtained by eff
ciently organized effort to precaat
perience of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper company as show in the
foregoing. Realizing that organi-
zation is the foundation of all
practical work, safety depart
ment was created and the co-opera-
tio1 of every employe, from gener-
al manager to nipper, sought.
What has teen the result of this
work, as shown by experience? Thu
answer to the question is found in
the foregoing, which shows that
during the six months ending De
cemher 81, 1918, seven fatalitica
were reported. During the year
ending December 81, 1914, nine fa-
tallties were reported One death
reported as an industrial accident,
was caused by scuffling, or horse
play, after hours and had no reia-
ton to the employment; and one
accident was responsible for five
deaths. This particularly distress
ing tragedy was caused by a pre-
mature explosion while loading a
n n MI I'm inn
year ending December 81, 1915, the
fatality record was reduced to two.
In addition to the decrease in the
number of fatalities, there has been
gratifying and substantial de-
crease in the number OF tempor-
airy disabilities.
1T is true that the experience Of
this company during the year 1915
was fortunate. but such results are
not obtained by good fortune, alone
nor mere luck. OrganizatiOn, co
operation, persistcncy, tenacity, and
application are the factors thai
bring results, not mere luck. The
MAJ. who trusts to luck is the man
who takes the chance, and the
chance taker is the home breaker.
THE experience of this company
should be stimulating example to
every employer andemploye in the
state. Accidents are preventab!e
and can he avoided. The old doc
trine that accidents are inevitable,
and must occur, was exploded long
ago. but prevention cannot be &C
Complished by mere talk, or o
splurge of ink. The work must be
personilied and transmitted into q
vital, living, breathing force; not
hy either employer or emplOye alone
bat by the united, concerted will
and effort of both.
Accident prevention is not a
question of dollars, and such sor-
fed by discussion. 1t is higher,
broader and better than dollars.
Money is nothing but a medium Of
exchange, and what medium of ca
change is there for life or limb?
Particularly should this reasoning
he considered by the employe. All
the employer can lose by an acci-'
dent is money, but the emplOye
must lose that which money can
no; buy and cannot replace, a lie
or a limb.
