In A Mixup

A slight mixup occurred at the
merry go-round Saturday night when
John Perry made himself often
sive to some young lady riders by
forcing his attention on them and
making remarks that were not evid-
ence of good breeding.
The fellow was asked by Mr.. Himel-
berger, who will not allow rowdyism
on the grounds, to quit it but he still
persisted, until Robert Miller, his en-
gineer, also tried to have him act like
a gentleman. Perry resented and was
about to make pass at Miller when
the latter rough and tumbled him
around in great shape.
Deputy Sheriff Murray appeared
and landed him in the lookup for the
night. Monday morning in Justice
Spencer's court he paid a fine and
promised ever hereafter to be good.
From the evils sent by heaven there
is deliverance: from the evils we bring
upon ourselves there is no escape

One Of the best photoplays brought
here in many weeks was "The Ros-

the story.
The house was crowded to see the
pictures and every one expressed
complete satisfaction. Mr.. Warner

to start extensive development work
in the near future. The property

BLACK BUTTE'S
MINE VALUABLE
PROPERTY AT ORIZABA DH;-
TRICT Is RATED AS Sill
YER BONANZA

Glowing reports continue to reach
here from persons who have lately
inspected the Orizaba mine, situated
about 20 miles northwest of Gold
field and which is controlled by the
Diamondfield Black Butte company
of Goldfield. A discovery made dur
Ing the past fortnight is said on
good authority to be of great value,
large body of silver ore of excel
lent grade having been exposed in
extending the old workings to the
east above the 95-foot level ore
is being shipped by motor truck to
the railroad at Millers at a rate
that is said to insure substan-
tial profit.
1t is the opinion of number of
capable mine operators and mining
engineers who have examined the
property that the opening of the
mine another 100 feet in depth
will place in sight sufficient ore TO
enable the company to build mill
of substantial capacity. In the alb.
sence of pumps or other facilities
Tor handling water, no attempt mas
been made to sink to depth, but
the managers expect to arrange for
resumption of sinking in the
near future and pumps of large cap
acity will be provided for this pur-
pose.
Hosting equipment is already
available at the shaft and it is the
plan of the company to install
compressor and machine drills. +.
V. Rovnianek, one Of the principal
stockholders, is in charge Of the
property as manager and has al
ready shipped ore of excellent grade
10 the value of more than $4,000.
The dumps contain a large tonnage
OF ore than can be milled at
substantial profit.

and large station at this depth in
the best of working condition the
efforts of the company will now
be directed toward the thorough

Two shifts of miners, using ma

ore of good grade has been exposed
on the upper levels. The company
is working three shifts and rapid
progress has been made in the de-

GRANDMA GAINS
DEPTH IN SHAFT
SINKING NOW PROGRESSES AT
GOOD SPEED AND PROS
PECTS BRIGHT

There is reason to expect good re-
ports from the Grandma .Consolida-
ted property within the next two or
three weeks at most. The main
shaft, near the center of the Grand
ma claim, is making satisfactory
progress, in a formation favorable
for sinking, and arrangements have
been perfected by which the COM
pany will obtain supply of COM
pressed air for machine drills al
any time it is found that more rapid
progress can be made by the use Of
this equipment.
With the recent acquisition of the
adjoining Sunrise group of claims
the position of the Grandma COM
pany is strengthened materially, as
it's present holding covers the veir
system for a long distance, both on
the strike and dip.
The Grandma vein has it's we'll
defined apex we'll within it's own
boundaries and therefore cannot be
come involved in disputes over ex-
tra-lateral rights within its terri
tory The vein has produced soma
good ore in ground a short dis
tance to the south of the new shaft
and surface indications point to the
presence of ore in this part of the
property.

the mines can be directed to this
department of the mill without diff

augmented.

The main shaft has been sunk to

FACILITATE WORK OF
SINKING

ments at a depth of $50 feet At
this depth the drift extended into
the Jumbo Junior from the Velvet
workings of the adjoining Jumbo
Extension exposed an orebody that
is apparently of large dimensions
aid good average value. The drift
exposed pay ore for distance of
over 60 feet, up to the boundary
line of the Kawanas property.
From this drift winze has been
sunk about 80 feet on the dip OF
the vein, but the irregular course
of the ore rendered extraction diff
cult and work was stopped here to
permit of placing timbers and tracks
which will facilitate the work OF
sinking.
Farther along in the drift raise
was started recently and has been
showing ore of good grade, ap-
parently extending directly into the
Kewanas company's ground. which
adjoins the Jumbo Junior On the
north. Work will be resumed in
the winze, which is believed to be
nearing the shale contact zone.

Two months hence, from all eX-
listing indications, the output of
gold, silver and copper from mines
of the Goldfeld district will be ma
terially augmented. By that time it
is expected that the flotation plant
of the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines
company, with a daily capacity of
1000 tons, will be in operation on a
capacity scale and several local
properties that have been under
steady development for many months
past are likely to have been accord
ed a place among the regular pro-
ducers of the district.
Unexpected delays in the applica-
tion of the flotation process here on
a large scale have caused disap-
pointment, but there is no lack of
faith in it's ultimate success on the
part of metallurgists and other com
petent mining authorities. When
the process becomes available on a
large scale there will be an abund-
ance of ore, of a grade averaging
considerably higher than that treat
ed here in recent months.
Properties that have been unable
to market their product, owing to
the distance from smelling centers,
will no longer find their operations
obstructed by this difficulty, but
will be given ready market at
home for all sulphide ores. The
cost of transporting ore from the
mines of the district to the Consoli
dated mill is less than eight cents
per ton, as against freight charge
of from 81 to $11 per ton to points
where treatment can be secured.
1t has been demonstrated here that
local sulphide ores can be treated by
flotation at cost less than one-half
the rates charged by the smelters
and with a saving of much of the
heavy metallurgical loss charged
against shippers. Treating low
grade ore at the rate of 200 tons
pany was enabled to cut its total
costs to 1915 per ton, but much of
it's ore on upper levels was found to
be unsuited for flotation.
GOldfield Consolidated
The 1000-ton flotation plant of
the Goldfield Consolidated is expect
ed to be in operation at capacity
early in January, when the addi-
tional filtering and settling equip
ment, ordered some time ago, Will
be in place and when no further
obstacles are epected to arise. 1t is
said that a large number of Slopes
have been opened on the deeper
levels of the company's mines and
that there will be no lack of ore
of good grade and of the charac-
ter best suited for flotation. Pro-
vision has been made to continue
the use of the cyanide process on a
large scale, in the treatment of
mill failing, and oxidized ores from

SANDSTONE WILL

in progress and making satisfactory
headway.
The object of the proposed raise
is to cut the rich ore-shoot that
was worked nearer the surface in
the early days of the camp in the
Loftus-Davis lease operations and
which yielded a fortune in high
grade ore from slopes opened above
a depth of about 65 feet

allowance for this fact will be made
in extending the raise. 1t is gen.
orally believed that developments of
importance will be reported from

SILVER PICK OPERATIONS
ARE CENTER OF INTEREST
Shaft Has Been Sunk to Depth of Over 100
Feet, Exposing Wide Zone Of Good Quartz
--Cross-Cut is Being Driven West From
New Station to Exp plore Ore-Channel

A few feet above the 1100-foot
point in the main shaft of the Sill
yer Pick Consolidated station of
large dimensions has been COM
pleted and a cross-cut is being ex-
tended to the west. The shaft
has been sunk about 35 feet below
the station sill and the shaft, sta
tion and cross-cut are all in quartz
of excellent character, containing
many seams and small masses OF
gold-copper ore from which good as
says are obtained.
Wide zones of this quartz have
been exposed which contain sufficient
ore, in these seams and irregular
masses, to render considerab BILE
quantity profitable for milling. The
bottom of the shaft is still showing
quartz and the quantity of copper
in the ore seams is greater than has
been found at any point in sinking.
Work in the shaft has been stopped
for few days, until necessary
changes are made in the pumping
system to provide for water that
may be encountered in the cross
cut

some ore of higher grade.
1t has been necessary to perform
a large amount of dead work in re-
claiming the old workings and in
preparing the later workings for
the thorough system of work that
is planned. This preliminary work
is now practically completed and
with the aid of it's excellent equip
ment the company will be enabled

numbers yielding from a few dol
lars to $50 per ton in gold and
copper. The quartz containing these
seams is nearly white and is simi-
lar in every respect to the quartz
found at depth in the producing
mines of the district, the similarity
extending to the proportion of alu-
mite found in the ore seams.
Lateral development will now be
pressed forward on what will be
known as the 1100-foot level, in
order to explore the ore-bearing zone
penetrated by the shaft and to seek,
farther to the west, the veins pene-
trated by the core drill. AS soon as
changes are made in the pumping
equipment work will be resumed
in the shaft, which will be sunk TO
the alaskite, and another working
level will be established here later
in order to explore the contact zone
above the alaskite.
The success of operations on the
Silver Pick property has come as
a result of the use of core drills
in prospecting at great depth. A
Calyx drill was installed several
months ago and the results obtained
in boring have approached the sensa-
tional and have stimulated interest
and confidence in this part of the
district. Starting from the bottom
OF the main shaft, then only 700
feet deep, the drill entered quartz
within less than 200 feet below
