SANDSTONE HAS
FINE PROSPECTS
GROUND BELOW WORKINGS OF
FAMOUS LEASES TO BE
PROSPECTED

At a depth of $50 feet in the
Sandstorm Kendall Consolidated
company-s property development
work is assuming an interesting
stage and the management and
others who have been identified
with operations on this ground
have confidence that the present
work will lead to the opening of
orebodies of Importance. The ter
ritory to be explored by the cross
cut now being driven lies about
midway between the two main
shafts, on the Sandstorm and
Randall groups, and under the
workings of the early-day bonan-
"a leases
In the early leasing operations
no attempt was made to extract
any but the richest ore and a pro-
duct worth less than SIS per
ton was not regarded as worthy
of notice. The richest ore here
was taken from workings at depth
of less than 60 feet and at this
depth the ore became lower in
grade, although the drifts showed
much material that could be
profitably mined under present
operating conditions. This terri
tory has never been explored be-
low the old workings and it is
believed that it contains important
possibilities for developing ore Of
commercial grade.

ed to railroad shipping point at
small expense. The material ap-
pears in irregular surface croppings
in several places within radius
of several hundred yards and is
apparently present here in large
quantity. Tests are being made to
determine the character of the ma
terial and it's freedom from dele
terious matter and have thus far
indicated high degree of purity
and composition rendering it
valuable for many purposes.
This is the first deposit of high
grade magnesite known to have
been found in Nevada and the dis
covery is therefore of interest here.
a number of deposits, of varying
quality, have been found in Cali
fornia. but nearly all of these are
of small size and too far from
transportation facilities to render
profitable the mining of the pro-

Magnesite is used in the manu-
facture OF fire brick, lining for
furnaces, imitation colored mar
Bile, tile flooring, and in the pro-
duction Of EPSON salts. The de-
mand has increased owing to in
terruption in the supply from for
eign countries, resulting from the
war.

JUMBO EX. STOCKHOLDERS
IN ANNUAL MEETING
TUESDAY, JULY Is

The annual meeting of stockhold-
ers of the Jumbo Extension Min
ing company will be held in Phoe-
nix, Ariz., on Tuesday, July IS,
and local officials of the company,
including President Charles s.
Sprague, Vice-President J. X. Tur-
ner and Secretary Ben Gill, have
left Goldfield to attend the meet
ing. No business of particular in
terest is expected to come before
this meeting and it is regarded as
certain that the present board of
directors and officers will be re-
elected, as large majority of the
shares and proxies are registered
in the name of President Sprague.
A complete report of the COM
pany's operations and earnings for
the past fiscal year will be issued
shortly, including the report on
mine conditions by Superintendent
and Vice-President Turner. This
report is expected to afford an in
dex to the future prospects of the
mine and will set forth in de-
tail the work that has been done,

PATENT ISSUED
Ida HILLSIDE
COMPANY SECURES TITLE TO
VALUABLE CLAIM IN HORN
SILVER DISTRICT

A United States patent has been
issued to the Ida Hillside Mining
company, for the Trio lode min
ing claim, situated in the Horn
silver district, just south of the
Silver King property, which was
purchased recently by the Horn
silver Mining company and upon
which development work is now
in progress. The Trio claim, to-
gether with another near it, to the
south, also owned by the Ida Hill
side company, are said to possess
excellent surface indications.
The Ida Hillside company is
controlled by Massachusetts mel,
with c. l.. Russell, of Stillriver,
Mass, as secretary. Adams f..
Brown of Goldfeld has acted as
attorney for the company in Sc
curing the patent. 1t is regard
ed as probable that the company
will proceed shortly to open up
this ground, as ore of good grade
has been exposed in adjacent ter
ritory and Representatives of the
company who are familiar with
the property have confidence in
it's future under proper develop
ment. The company also owns min
ing claims in the Ida district.

the total gross value being about
$92, 900; freight, treatment and
sampling costs, 100000; smelling
losses $500 and total mine operat-
ing expenses $4,000, leaving net
realization Of $36,50O.
GoIdfield Merger Mines
Greater interest attaches to the
work of the Merger Mines company
from this time forward by reason of
it's having connected it's workings
with those of the Jumbo Extension
company, affording better ventila-
ton and enabling the company to
make far better progress in future.
The great distance from the working
shaft and the inadequacy of air have
operated to retard development work
in the Sunflower claim. The north
drift, near the side-line of the Ve1-
vet claim, will be continued and
from it the shale contact will be
thoroughly explored farther north.
Atlanta Mines Co.
The west cross-cut on the 1880
foot level is making satisfactory
progress. 1t is being driven to reach
the main Consolidated vein, which
lies parallel with the Atlanta vein
and which should be reached by this
cross-cut within another 80 days.
An ore-shoot of good promise and
containing some rich ore was found
at a depth of about 1900 feet, in the
adjoining Grizzly Bear claim, near
the connecting raise, and the down
ward extension of this ore is being
sought by the new cross-cut.
SandstOrm-K Kendall Cons.
Manager Darcy and others iden-
titled with the Kendall
company express confidence that the
present work, at a depth of $50 feet,
will result in exposing pay ore in
commercial quantity. The cross-cut
is being driven to a point about
midway between the Sandstorm and
Kendall shafts and below the work
ings of the early bonanza leases.
Lone Star Consolidated
Superintendent Emory Arnold has
already secured results of an en-
'couraging character in extending a
drift along the foot-wall of the vein,
at depth of 225 feet, working
from the old Nelligan shaft. This
ground has always been regarded as
promising and the objective point is

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

A substantial increase in pro-
duction from the mines of the Gold
field district is assured in the near
future, with the operation at fun
capacity of the two oil flOtation
plants that have been installed here
lately. The successful treatment Of
low-grade, refractory ores by this
process is destined to stimulate de-
velopment work throughout the
district. and number of companies
that have exposed low-grade ore viii
be enabled to carry on the work of
new opportunities for developing
pay ore.
Active work is now in progress on
about 20 properties in the Goldfield
that is being conducted by individ-
ual owners of mining claims and by
lessees. Work of substantial
character has been started recently
at several points and other work of
similar character is planned for the
where preparatory work or shaft
sinking has been going forward for
some time, this work is nearing
point where concrete results may
reasonably be expected soon and at
three or four points ore of CONNER
cial grade has been exposed in re-
cent development work.
GOldfield Consolidated
All indications point to a marked
increase in the earnings of the Gold
field Consolidated company. with it's
new flotation plant in operation.
Naturally some time is required to
bring the big plant up to full ca
pacity of 1000 tons daily, as the
new machinery, as in any plant of
like magnitude, requires a consid
cradle amount of regulating and ad-
justing before it can be relied upon
to work smoothly, and in a compli-
Gated process of ore treatment many
details must be given attention to
secure the best results. This plant
will soon be treating 1000 tons daily
and it is said to be the first of
large capacity in which straight
mill-feed has been applied on gold
silver-copper ores of varying grade
and character. Production and
earnings were constantly below nor
NAL in June, but this was expected,

was followed downward on its
dip for a short distance, but the
high cost of operating at that
early period and the limited life
of the lease prevented it's more
thorough development at depth.
For some distance the drift mas
followed a seam of ore averaging
about nine inches In width and
yielding assays of SIS or SIG
per ton. Work was started sew
eral years ago in the Nelligan
shaft with the object of. seeking
the downward extension of this
ore-shoot, but was not carried 20
the point where there could be
any expectation of cutting the ore
and the work was directed to the
hanging wall side of the vein.
The old slopes above this depth
were on the west or foot-wall side,
and the present work is being ad-
vanced in that direction. The
last important work of the COM
pany was performed from the
Nelligan shaft and it is in this
territory that the greatest hopes
for success have centered for sew
eral years past. Experts have
repeatedly expressed the opinion
that this ground held substantial
promise, If developed along the
lines contemplated in the present
system of operations.

CRACKER JACKS
FORCE LARGER
DRIFT AND RAISE CONTINUE
IN FORMATION THAT is
ENCOURAGING

The Cracker Jack property, now
being developed along comprehen-
sive lines, is making most en-
couraging showing in the south
drift on the 115-foot level and in
the raise above this level. The
drift has advanced nearly 100 feet,
following the footwall of the
Columbia Mountain fault vein. and
is being driven to cut an ore
body OF good promise that was
exposed at the surface, $50 feet
south of the cross-cut from the
shaft.
Above this drift a raise has been
extended for so feet and for a
considerable distance both the
raise and drift have been in quartz
of excellent appearance, yielding
average assays of from SO to Sc
per ton in gold. The assays have
all been taken from car samples
and no attention has been paid
to picked specimens.
II. G. Mcmahon, who is in charge
of the work and of the company's
affairs, has just started north
drift from the cross-cut that en-
tends east from the shaft on the
115-foOt level, also following the
foot-wall of She big vein. A
cross-cut has been extended through
the vein here for over so feet,
showing ore of low grade. Four
teen men are now employed on two
shifts and the work is making
rapid progress, with the aid of a
powerful compressor and machine
drills.

Results of the work recently
started on the Lone Star Conso-
lidated property have already been
such as to afford encouragement
to the interests now in control of
the company. Superintendent
Emory Arnold reports that the
drift on the 225-foot level of the
Nelligan shaft has exposed seams
of pay ore, in advancing toward
the point where it is sought to
intersect the ore-shoot from which
the valuable production was made
in the old Patrick Lease workings.
Extending southward from the
shaft, the drift has progressed
over 40 feet along the west or
foot-wall side of the large vein,
and it is estimated that from 20
to 25 feet of additional driving
will bring the drift to the ore
shoot. This ore was cut in work
ings from the old Patrick shaft
at a depth of about $50 feet and

PICK IS
NEARING SHALE
MAIN SHAFT AND CALYX DRILL
BEING SUNK AT RAPID
RATE

Operations of the Silver Pick Con-
soidated company are attracting
widespread interest, as the time is
believed to be near when the work
of exploring the shale contact zone,
at a depth of about 1000 feet
will begin. Contractors engaged
in sinking the main shaft from the
700 to the 1000-foot level have
been making record time in their
work and within a short time will
have reached the required depth,
where lateral work will be under
taken and directed by Manager j.
F. Dyer.
Results of boring to depth with
Calyx core drill. operating from
the 500-foot level and at a point
over 400 feet west of the shaft,
have been of interest, as the drill
penetrated, at a depth from the
surface of less than 700 feet, what
is described as new vein. At this
point the cores yielded samples CT
quartz assaying as high as $50
per ton, according to the records
shown by the management.
The drill is being continued to
depth and it is the plan to later
prospect the Phelan vein, farther
to the west, in the same manner.
This vein was found to contain ore
OF excellent grade at depth OF
about 1870 feet.

the installation of the flotation
equipment. Copper-bearing ores,
which could not be treated profit
ably by the cyanide process, will
now be sent to the mill in quantity,

vast tonnage of this ore, of consid-
erably better grade than the aver
