The past week has been marked
by events in Goldfield that have sig
nalized the beginning of new epoch
These events are destined not only
to bring a material increase in the
production and earnings of leading
mining companies, but will greatly
prolong the productive life of mines
throughout the district. Mine devel-
opments of unusual importance have
been relegated to second place in
public interest in view of the plac-
ing in commission of the new oil
flotation plant of the Goldfield Con-
solidated, with 1000 tons daily ca
pacity, and the successful operation
of the flotation plant of the Florence
company, which is treating 200 tons
daily.
TAree mines in the district, the
Silver Pick, Florence and Lone Star,
have reported developments OF great
significance, while at several otner
points development work is at a
stage where discoveries of pay ore
may be announced at any time.
Those who are in closest touch with
mine conditions here are on the PIN
nacle of expectancy: convinced of the
imminence of developments OF the
greatest Importance to the entire dis
trict.
From this time forward the metal
production of the Goldfield district is
destined to show a substantial In
crease. Interruptions caused by
changing it's mill from the cyanide
to the flotation process resulted in
material curtailment of output tor

Developments in the property of
the Silver Pick Consolidated COM
pany have aroused keen interest
during the past few days. Presl-
dent Herman Zadig was in Gold
field late in the week and stated
the main shaft, which is being sunk
by contract to reach the shale con-
tact, had penetrated ore of good
grade and that about three feet OF
this ore was in sight when a flood
of water came in, filling the shaft
for 25 feet and putting stop to
sinking for the time being.
Mr.. Zadig stated that he was ur-
able to give definite estimate of
the value of the ore exposed, grab
samples indicating from $25 to $50
per ton The pumps in use in the
shaft were inadequate to meet the
burden of the new flow and it
was announced that a weeks time
might be required to install more
powerful pumping equipment and to
resume sinking.
Before sinking was resumed n
the shaft, which was then 700 feet
deep, the company sank a Calyx
core drill from the bottom of the
shaft and at the point now reached
by the shaft some good assays were
obtained in the drill cores. The
drill continued through a channel
OF quartz, after WHICH it passed
through about 40 feet of shale, en-
tering then another stratum o!
quartz, in which high assays were

NEW FLOTATION
PLANT WORKING
CONSOLIDATED MILL EQUIPPED
TO TREAT BIG TONNAGE
OF BASE ORE

With capacity of 1000 tons
daily the new oil flotation plant of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company is operating successfully
and has already handled 1000 tons in
single day. although some adjust
ments to the new machinery are still
necessary and for the present it is
probable that the quantity of ore
treated will vary from 500 to goo
tons daily. Excepting for the usual
difficulties, experienced in starting
new machinery on a large scale, the
equipment is working in a manner
affording complete satisfaction to
the management.
The new equipment includes As
Callow pneumatic flotation cells, in
which the necessary frothing is pro-
duced by compressed air, forced
through canvas mats forming the
bottom of the cell, and the concen-
trate from flotation passes to clean
er cells and thence over series of
tables, the product being finally
roasted in the specially designed
concentrate treatment plant and final
recovery being effected in the COM
pany's refinery.
1t is said that steps will be taken
shortly to handle a large tonnage of
the mill failing, that has been i'm
pounded below the mill, and cyanide
equipment has been preserved in the
mill of sufficient capacity to treat
upward of 600 tons of this product
daily. Some time ago the company
installed hugh Lidgerwood radial
galloway, with which the failing will
be conveyed back to the mill for
treatment by cyanidation. 1t is re-
ported that the mines are in excel
lent condition and that some ore
of bonanza quality has been broken
recently in the Mohawk mine.

trate the ore-shoot that was opened
by lessees, operating through the

they extracted a considerable guam

ports that the southwest drift on
the 225-foot level, which has been
progressing in a great dixie, has ex-
posed quartz of good character, ap-
parently marking the foOt-wall ore
channel.
The property was examined dur
ing the week by DR.. A. H. Elftman,
acting as consulting engineer for the
company, who approved the course
being followed by Superintendent
Arnold and recommended that the
drift be continued to and along the
foot-wall of the vein, toward point
below the old lease workings. This
part of the Lone Star property, near
it's southeastern extremity, has al
ways been regarded as holding good
promise of developing orebodles OF
good value.

LARGE OUTPUT Is PREDICTED
FROM MAIN OREBODY BE-
FORE EXHAUSTION

A normal production from the
Jumbo Extension mine is assured
for three or four months at least,
according to estimates of the man
agement, although it is now possi-
BILE to determine approximately the
limits of the tonnage of shipping ore
available in the main orebody.
Shipments continue at the rate of
100 tons daily and the ore maintains
it's uniformly good grade and will
probably continue to do so up to
the time of it's total exhaustion, as
there is relatively little low-gradc
ore within the boundaries of the
main ore-channel.
In the northeastern part of the
Velvet claim development work on
the ITO and SSO-foot levels contin-
ues to encourage the hope that pay
ore in commercial quantity will be
found in this territory, although no
deposits of Importance have yet
been exposed here. There still re-
mains a large area of virgin ground
between the present workings and
the northern extremity of the prop
erty and the present work is design
ed to thoroughly prospect this
ground.
Criticism from certain quarters,
chiefly in the east, of the directors
action in passing the dividend at
their recent meeting, has been met
with the statement that the payment
of dividend at this time would
not have been to the best Interests
of the stockholders, as it would
have depleted the treasury reserve
and would leave the company with
out sufficient funds to continue op-
erations on scale calculated to Sc
cure profits in future.
By the action of the directors the
company is now assured substan-
tial cash balance with which to pur-
chase another producing property
and this will be done in case suit
able property is found. 1t Is uh-
derstOod that the directors already
have one or more properties in view,
which will be examined and thor
oughly sampled by Consulting Engi-
neer Turner before any decision is
reached as to their acquisition by
the Jumbo Extension company.

velopment throughout the district.
In all the veins there are small
slips, or minor faults, which have
had an important influence upon
the formation of the rich ore-shoots,
according to authorities on the
geology of the district. These slips
are regarded with favor, rather than
as an Objectionable feature, since
they afford a guide to the deposits
of richer ore.
Formation Is Favorable

OF the district sets forth that the
oldest formation is a black lime

tilted the shale and limestone,

by the intrusion of strong dikes of

be responsible for the formation of

Silver Pick Cons.
President Zadig of the Silver Pick
company visited Goldfield late in the
week and authorized the statement
that the main shaft had exposed ore
of good grade, at a depth of S75
feet. This ore is apparently in the
shale contact zone. Upon cutting
the ore-channel a strong flow of wa
ter was encountered, which immedi-
ately rose in the shaft for 25 feet,
and larger pumps must be installed
to handle this heavy flow. 1t is
said that a week may be required to
remove the water and resume sink
ing in the ore. The Calyx drill is
said to be down 1870 feet and has
passed through several veins, the
drill cores yielding good assays.
Lone Star Cons.
The southwest drift on the 225-
foot level, which has been progress
ing in the large dixie, exposed the
oot-wall quartz late in the week and
is thought to be in line to cut the
ore-shoot from which a considerable
quantity of high grade shipping ore
was mined above the 180-foot level,
in leasing work from the old Pat
rick shaft.

said to have been obtained, and
then entered the alaskite. 1t is
the present plan to continue the
shaft to a depth of 1900 feet, in
order to prospect both quartz zones
and to cross-cut west for the shale-
latte contact, after cutting through
the laskite-shale contact.

While some trepidation was caus-
ed in certain quarters by the recent
announcement that the limits or
production from the main Jumbo
Extension orebody were in sight, it
is stated by the management that a
normal production will be main
tanned for three or four months, even
if no new ore is opened in that
period Shipments continue at the
rate of about 1000 tons daily and
the ore continues of excellent grade
and, it is said will continue of good
grade up to the time this deposit is
exhausted, as all the ore in this big
deposit appears to be of uniformly
excellent quality. Conditions in
the new workings from the Velvet
shaft are regarded as encouraging
and there are strong hopes that pay
ore may be found in this territory.

value in order to perpetuate it's sue
