SILVER PICK SHAFT HAS CUT
SHALE CONTACT ORE-CHANNEL

Silver Pick Consolidated continues
one of the chief centers of atten-
ton in local mining circles and re-
suits of the work now in progress
il; the main shaft are awaited with
keen expectancy by everyone having
any interest in the mines of Gold
field.
According to the most recent re-
ports the shaft has now reached a
depth of about $50 feet and is in
the shale, having passed through an
ore-channel or zone of highly min
eralized quartz over 80 feet in
thickness, which was penetrated just
above the 9O0-foot level.
AS no lateral work has been done
in the mineralized ground lately
exposed. the management has not

present plan to continue sinking to
reach a point below the second

ATLANTA OPENS
GIGANTIC VEIN
CROSS~CUT EXTENDING IN GOOD
QUARTZ IN MAIN ORE
CHANNEL

The work of the Atlanta Mines
company has reached a point where
it is attracting keen interest. as It
IS now in the main Consolidated
vein, the principal ore-channel Of
the district, at depth of 1850
feet, the deepest point attained in
work in southern Ne
vada. The west cross-cut from the
main Atlanta workings has now
progressed for about 80 feet in
the foot-wall. AS the vein lies
AT a flat angle here, this distance
does not represent the width of the
vein, which may be considerably
less, measured between walls
Throughout the distance traver-
sed since passing the hanging wall
the cross-cut has been in quartz of
excellent character, yielding low as
says in gold and copper Upon
reaching the foot-wall it is the
plan of Manager Darcy to extend
drifts north and south at the most
highly mineralized parts of the big
channel to search for an ore-shoot
and with the particular object of
seeking the downward continuation
Of the rich orebody found on the
1500-foot level, just over the Griz-
zly Bear boundary and dipping
south, into Atlanta territory.

portance have taken place in the
Great Bend mine during the past
week In addition to the large ore
81 DOT opened several weeks ago md
in which a large tonnage has been
blocked out, Superintendent Camp-
bell has found two other orebodies
of excellent promise and yielding
high assays. The east drift on the
3O0-foot level, after having been
extended 100 feet beyond the first
orebody, has entered second and
apparently larger and richer de-
posit, assaying up to $40 per toll
across three feet. The west drift
has just entered still another orc
shoot, below the old lease workings,
and the face at last reports was as
saying $36 per ton. A carload OF
ore was sent to the sampler during
the week, yielding returns of $3S
per ton. Preparations are being
made to ship regularly and tests
have been made on the ore with flo
tation, with successful results.

portance. Assays varying from $50
to $72 per ton and of marked uni
formity throughout were obtained
over an area of about Is feet
square, covering the full width of
the vein. Assays up to $40 per
ton were also obtained in the north
raise from the 120-foot level, at a
point 100 feet from the first discov-
cry, and the rake of the ore appears
to be such that the two points may
prove to be in a single, continuous
orebody. A timber crew has been
engaged and under the direction of
Foreman La Foe has completed work
on the upper level and is now pro-
ceeding with the work of retimber
ing the main shaft to the 320-foO-

JUMBO EX. HAS
CUT new vein
GOOD SHOWING is MADE IN NEW
WORK ON DEEPEST
LEVEL

In the Jumbo Extension mine a
new ore-channel or quartz zone has
been exposed at a depth of 1Ol7
feet and almost at the boundary
line between the Velvet claim and
the adjoining Jumbo Junior pro-
perty. While no sensational assays
have yet been obtained in prospect
ing this zone, it's presence here, in
the form of a distinct fissure TAR
within the shale, is regarded as
significant and has an important
bearing upon the geology of this
territory, affecting both the Jum-
bo Extension and Jumbo Junior pro-
perties.
Estimates of production for Sep
tember may be delayed for a few
days and it is believed likely that
the output for the month will fall
short of the figures for any recent
month, as predicted earlier by the
company officials. A large amount
of development work is being done
throughout the mine and there still
remains considerable area Of un-
explored territory in which there
are possibilities of finding pay ore
in good volume. The north drifts
on the ITO and 88O-foot levels con-
tinue to show occasional seams of
good ore.

area of virgin territory that is
believed to contain important pos
sibilities.
At a depth of about 1850 feet in
this territory large bodies of quartz
of good appearance and containing
some seams of pay ore were found
in driving from the Grizzly Bear
shaft to connect with the main Mer-
ger shaft. while near the surface,
above the new workings, early-day
lessees extracted quantities of high
grade shipping ore, but the veins
have never been prospected between
these depths. 1t is reported that
some promising zones of silicified
material have been exposed recent
ly in driving the new cross-cut.

QUARTZ CUT IN
JUMBO JUNIOR
POSED ON TWO LEVELS
OF PROPERTY

The discovery of quartz of good
appearance at two points in the
Jumbo Junior property, on two diff
ferent levels and at great depta.
has stimulated interest in the opera
tions of that company in it's ground
adjoining on the east the Velvet
cleaim of the Jumbo Extension. AL
though no ore of commercial grade
has been found, the company's Off
cials have been greatly encouraged
by results obtained in the rec
work on the $50 and 1O17-foot
levels, in cross-cuts extended from
the Jumbo Extension mine.
On the SS0-foot level a cross-cut
has been extended in an easterly
direction, traversing the center Of
the property, and at a distance Of
over 100 feet from the hanging wall
drift is showing quartz that is
similar in appearance to that asso-
rated with the bonanza orebodies
OF the Jumbo Extension. In the
northeast shale drift of the latter
property, at depth of 1O17 feet,
a still better showing has been
made near the line dividing the two
properties and raise is being
driven on this fissure, which eX-
tends far within the shale. Some
OF the material broken here has
the appearance and characteristics
Of high grade ore.

SANDSTONE MAY
SOON OPEN ORE
PROSPECTS OF EARLY BONAN-
IA COMING BACK ARE
APPARENTLY GOOD

Within another 80 days it is pro-
bable that the Sandstorm-Ken
Consolidated property will be heard
from in manner calculated to
arouse renewed interest in that
mine, which was the first to be
located and worked in the Gold
field district Development is now
progressing on the 350-foot level
and is nearing a point below the
workings of the old bonanza leases,
which yielded fortunes in high-grade
ore during the early days of the
district.
The objective of the present work
is the continuation of the famous
Loftus-Davis ore-shoot, one of the
the most prolific in exceedingly rich
ore ever opened in the district and
which was worked by the lesseees
to a depth of less than 70 feet.
For the first time this territory is
now being thoroughly explored at
depth, with a view of picking up
the downward continuation of this
ard other rich orebodies found in
this part of the property. The
south drift continues in quartz of
good character. yielding low assays
in gold, and the uniform character
of the vein stimulates the belief
that the ore will be found to con-
tinue to depth

Mine developments of the past
week in fhe Goldfield district have
aroused widespread interest, result
ing in marked revival of acti yity
in Goldfield stocks on the various
exchanges of the country and in a
flood of inquiries from many sourc-
es for further news of reported dis
coveries. The most notable devel-
opment of the week was in the Dia-
mondfield division of the district,
on the Great Bend property, where
three distinct oreodies, apparently of
substantial value, were opened to
an extent proving them to be of at
neast commercial value. Cracker
Jack and Silver Pick Consolidated
have maintained their earlier prom
Use and reports indicate a decided
improvement in the conditions sur
other points. More than 20 proper
ties in the district are being explOr-
ed in a comprehensive manner and
under businesslike management and
every one of these is believed by
competent mining authorities to
possess great possibilities for mine
making. The scope of development
is being increased constantly and
the use of drills for prospecting at
great depth is to be extended to out
side territory. The application of
the flotation process on large scale
here has been delayed, but the sue
cess of the process has been estab-
lished beyond question and with all
the necessary equipment available,
local plants will soon be treating a
large tonnage by this method.
GOldfield Consolidated
Manager Hutchinson has announc-
ed that the Consolidated Mines com
pany will shortly abandon the old
Mohawk shaft, through which a
production of approximately $27,-
100000 has been made. The COM
pany has lately installed an elabo'
rate haulage system, operated by
electric power, by means of which
the handling of ore will be great
ly facilitated and the use of which
will result in important economies
Ore from all levels will be dumped
through chutes to the main hauling
levels and in the central territory
will be hoisted through the Cler-
mont and Combination shafts. With
this system in operation the Mo-
hawk shaft will no longer be needed,
but will serve as an outlet for ven-
tilation. Additional filtering and
settling equipment for the flotation
plant will arrive in the near future
and within a short time the plant
will again be treating large ton
mage of ore by this process and
soon thereafter will begin treating
mill failing from the vast accumu-
lation below the mill. Cyanide
equipment has been retained in the
mill for this purpose and the ma
terial will be conveyed to the plant
by the giant radial galloway erected
last year.
