The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-03-18

Plans are being drawn now for
an ore house which will be started
within the next day or two and COM
pleted as soon as possible. The
work has been handicapped owing
to a lack of facilities for handIins
the ore.
On the 100 level we have Inst
completed the cutting of a station.
and prosecuting in a southerly di-
rection will be started within e
short time to intersect the several
veins in which small occurrences OF
ore were heretofore cut by TIE south
cross-cut on the $50 level. 1t is
hoped that at this lower depth a
more tangible showing may result
on these veins.
West End Consolidated
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company on last Saturday
shipped to the shelters, as the f.
nal cleanup for February, 35 bars
of bullion weighing 55,535 ounces,
of an estimated value of $3S,-
S74.4O.
AT the mine everything is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and the re
suits attained are of the usual era
tifying character.
Stopping continued on the 500 lev
ell as regularly reported, from 500
ad sos Slopes, with no change in
particular to report.
From tho 600-C Stopa yory
good grade of ore is being broken
III what is known as SAT territory,
where several chutes are located.
ON the 623 intermediate lave,
from COL east Wine, Stopping oper-
ations were also carried on in slopes
Nos. 2, 8 and IL, with the usual
good production resulting therefrom.
A new stope, No. Is, was started
from raise 16, and the ore from
this stope is of very good grade
In places the stope is over 80 feet
in width from the hanging to the
footwal1.
jim Butler Nine
Nothing new or startling is in
troduced in tne report of this weeks
operations at the Jim Butler TonO
reh Mining company. With regular
frequency the shipments of the
!loduct of the mine are sent to
tie old Belmont mill at Millers for
reduction and treatment and how
profitable there are IA be readily
ascertained by a perusal of the re-
ports of net earnings issued each
month by the management.
The development work was car
ried on in the usual vigorous fash
ion during the week at the various
workings undergoing development,
and the ordinary mount of ora
was taken from the two sections OIL
the property and shipped to the
mill.
The three-compartment raise from
the 400 level of the Halifax TOno-
rah Mining company has been car
ried up the requisite distance and
tic work of cutting the station at
the 1900 level is now in progress.
This station will be only a small
me, and is merely intended to give
room for the switches so that cars
may be dumped into either of tie
two chutes.
North Star Mine
At the property of the North
Star Tunnel & Development com
pary. the usual progress was made
daring the week at the various
working faces, conditions at all
oats remaining practically IN
changed from the satisfactory stat1!
heretofore recorded. The drift Oh
the $50 level continues to show Il
two-foot width of vein. and satisfac
tory progress was made in extending
the ACE of the drift.
On the 500 level. the usual sat
isactOry advance was 2ccomplishe'
in the cross EFT which is being rur
in a southeasterly direction with the
a ject of exploring some hitherto un'
opened territory, where it is expect
ed that the downward extension o
the vein exposed on the $50 leve
will be picked up.
During the week at the Mizpaf
Extension company's property
which is being developed under
working agreement ty the Tone
rah Mining company. the hoist ha
been put in place at the head OF IN
winze and is now being connecte
UP with the power lines. Mean
while the work of enlarging tn
raise between the 1000 and lis!
level for the passage of the ski
is under way, and good progress
is being made in this work.
Great satisfaction is expressed b
the management of the Gypsy Que-
Mining company over the showing
in the winze workings from tn
1850 level. The winZe is now dow
a distance of about so feet. and
streak of ore on the footwall give
considerable encouragement.
Staady nrOpreSS is being made &
