VEINS CONVERGE
IN NEV. EMPRESS
LARGE QUANTITIES OF GOOD
ORE EXPOSED IN PRO-
PERTY

Ore of good milling grade has
been exposed in large quantity in
the Nevada Empress property, sit
uated in the Gold Mountain dis
trict, SO miles south of Goldfield
and owned by the Nevada Co-Opera-
tive Mines company. Consulting
Engineer j. K Turner made an
examination of the new workings
during the past week and reports
an improvement in conditions un-
derground, with a large tonnage of
milling ore in sight.
BY means of series of tunnels,
driven on various horizons into the
steep mountainside, the main vein
has been exposed and explored at
many points for a distance of over
500 feet From the lowest or main
working adit raises have been driven
to the vein, which has now osen
opened from nine tunnels.
Work was started at a
new point in this tunneI, where a
separate vein was found, and is
now approaching the point where
the two veins come together. both

here is considerably broken and
yields encouraging assays in gold,
indicating that deposits of large

PROFITABLE OUTPUT CONTINUES
FROM JUMBO EXTENSION Mine

cent shipping rates and that operat-
ing expenses are also lower than
formerly.
During the month of July the
production of the Jumbo Extension
was 1876 dry tons of shipping ore
and 8O7.5 tons of dump ore. The
gross value of the shipping ore was
approximately $72,5OO and the net
profit realized from the dump ore
was about $500. Freight, treatment
and sampling costs were about $23,-
500; smelling losses $1,000; and
total mine operating expenses $t5,-
$780, leaving net realization from
operations of $28,400.
Conditions in the mine are every
where satisfactory and most en-
couraging results have attended the
development work that has been
extended into new territory in the
northeastern part of the Velvet
claim On the 77O-foot level the
north drift from the Velvet shaft
has been advanced near the foot
wall of the big main vein, over 100
feet above the shale, and several
branch drifts and cross-cuts have
been driven to prospect the foot
wall part of the vein, with the re-
suit that pay ore has been found
at a number of points. 1t is now
apparent that this part of the mine
may be relied upon to supply a large
tonnage of medium grade shipping
ore
Development on deeper levels is
also yielding satisfactory results.

GREAT INTEREST CENTERS IN
THE WORK NOW BEING
Conducted

Work of tthe Silver Pick Consoli-
dated company is east approachcing
the point where important results
can be expected with reason The
main shaft is down about 900 feet
and is nearing the point where
the core drill penetrated quartz
channel, before entering the shale.
After having passed through about
40 feet of shale, below this quartz,
another stratum of quartz was pene-
trated and below this the drill en-
tered the alaskite The shaft will
be sunk to explore both of these
channels.
From the 50O-foot level and at
a point $50 feet west of the main
shaft, the Calyx core drill is being
sunk and has reached a depth of
more than 100 feet from the sur
face, without entering the shale.
1t is maintained by Manager Dyer
that this fact substantiates lis
theory that the shale in this part
OF the district dips to the west
and that there is a ridge of shale
near the Columbia Mountain fault,
extending in line near the eastern
boundary of the Silver Pick pro-
perty. The drill is said to have
penetrated three distinct veins, all
of which have shown pay ore in
the cores brought up by the drill

OUTPUT IN JUNE
ORE OF GOOD GRADE is BROKEN
IN NEW DEVELOP
MENT

The final report of production and
earnings of the GOldfeld COnsoli-
dated Mines company in June has
just been submitted to President
Wingfield and the members of the
board of directors by General Man
ager J. w. Hutchinson. 1t is eX-
planned in the report that produc-
tion has been curtailed recently
as a result of changes in the COM
pany's milling equipment, the work
of installing the new 1000ton flo
tstion plant having interrupted to
a considerable degree the normal
operations OF the company.
The report shows that ore of
excellent grade is being broken in
new ground at several points, no.
tably on the 60O-foot level of the
Mohawk mine and on the 260-foot
level of the Laguna, at a con-
siderable distance north of the main

In the Florence Goldfield mine
an important discovery has been
L ade in exploring TIE hanging wall
of the old Rodgers-Syndicate lease

under the southern slope of the
Florence hill. This was the great-
est depth attained by the lease
workings at this roint and a large
tonnage of high-grade shipping ore
vas stopped in this ground by the
lessees.
Work in this ground has lately
exposed body of ore varying from
four to five feet in width and avera =
ing over $35 per ton in gold, sill
yer and copper. At a point about
30 feet above this level the vein
is showing ore from two and one
half to three feet wide and assaying
from $40 to 500 per ton. At an
other point in this ground ore
has been opened for width of
II feet, averaging around $17 per
ton. On xne 2F0 and 650-foot

ROUND MT. TO
ISSUE REPORT
PRESIDENT GORDON SAYS CON-
DITIONS ON PROPERTY
ARE SATISFYING

Louis d. Gordon, president of the
Round Mountain Mining company,
was in Tonopah yesterday on his
return from visit to the property
and continued on to his home IN
San Francisco. He said to the
Bonanza:
''The water season is nearing an
end. The snow disappeared earlier
than was anticipated. Our costs
this year were lower than during
any season since hydraulicking was
inaugurated in the Round Noun
tain mining district.
Most of the dirt was of lower
grade than last year, but we passed
through the lean zone and now we
are treating an excellent grade of
gravel. Even with the setback of
the lean zone the general siuation
is better than ever for tthe COM
pany. Our original estimate of
yardage and values will be realized
and probably exceeded.
"A complete statement covering
now being prepared and should be
ready for distribution inside of 10
days. This statement will also cover
certain features of the lode mine
hitherto unknown to the public.
1--WE are now making plans to in
crease our water supply next season
by opening certain springs on he
Jefferson-Shoshone watershed and
laying flow lines to our present in
takes. We also contemplate in
creasing the storage capacity of our
Jett canyon dam.
I'VE have opened some new ore
in the Los Gazabo vein about 200
feet east of our present working
shaft. This is the first ore open
ed in the vein so far east of the
shaft and the find is considered to
be of great Importance"

During the past week announce
ment has been made of mine devel-
opments of great importance in two
properties in the Goldfield district;
one flotation plant has started oper-
ating on a substantial basis and the
statement is made that the second
plant, using this process, will be op-
Grating within few days. Figures
of production for the past week
were lower than usual, owing to the
Interruptions incident to the con-
version of the Consolidated COM
pany's mill from the cyanide to the
fiotation process, but in all of the
20 or more properties now under de-
velopment good progress was made
edly encouraging.
In no year of it's history has there
been greater amount of develop
ment or more new undertakings dur
ing the quiet summer season than
Goldfield has witnessed in the past
prevails generally that this activity
must necessarily be reflected at an
early date by revival of interest
in mining here and by stronger
tone in the market for the Gold
field issues, which have shown lately
ho hot
Physically the mines are in excel
lent condition and all signs now
point to a materially increased pro-
duction from this time forward.
GOldfield Consolidated
Interest has centered for some
time past in the completion and OPP
Grafton of the company's new oil flo
tation plant, which will have ca
pacity of 1000 tons daily. The first
side or 50O-ton unit of this plant
has been in operation for some time,
with complete success, and Manager
J. w. Hutchinson has announced
that the second unit, placing the
plant on full capacity basis. will be
in operation by August Is. The
preliminary estimate for July shows
that the conversion of the plant to
flotation caused material reduction
in output and earnings for the
month, the net profits for that
period having been only about $780,
900, the lowest on record. With
the flotation plant operating, how
ever, it is regarded as certain that
the companys earnings will be con-
siderably larger than for many
months past The final report for
June, issued a few days ago, indi-
Gates that some ore of excellent
grade is being broken.
Florence GOldfield
Developments of great moment in
the Florence mine are reported by
Superintendent H. B. Clapp. On the
53O-foot level, where a large guam
tity of medium and low-grade fiota-
tion ore has been exposed, the work
that has been progressing to the
south has exposed ore of high grade
in the foot-wall side of the old Rod
gers lease Slopes. At this level the
drift shows from four to five feet
of s35 ore. while at a point 30 feet

the Velvet claim, particularly on the
770-foot level, conditions are pro.
nounced highly encouraging and
there is now assurance of a sub

part of the mine.
Great Bend
Rich seams of ore have been
found in exploring the vein that was
cut in driving the connection be-
tween the main vertical shaft and
the bottom of the old incline, at a
depth in the latter of about 800
feet. The seams vary in width from
a few inches to foot and have

above this level the ore-shoot is two
and one-half feet in width and as
says from $40 to 500 per ton. At
another point the ore is IL feet wide
and assays around $17 per ton, an
excellent grade and quality for flo
tation. The flotatiOn plant will be
operating at capacity within few
days.
Jumbo Extension
Production continues on sub
stantial scale, and development in
new ground has been attended by
most encouraging results. The pre-
liminary estimate for July shows an
output of 1876 dry tons of shipping
ore and S07 tons Of dump ore, with
gross value of $4,000. Freight,

day or two and the plant will soon
be treating upwards of 200 tons
daily. The operation of the plant
as originally constructed afforded
proof. in spite of it's mechanical de-
fects, that high extraction will
be obtained in the treatment of
Florence ore. All faulty equipment
has been relegated to the scrap
heap and the enlarged plant is COM
