ATLANTA SENDS
ORE TO SAMPLER
PROPERTY SAID TO BE IN GOOD
CONDITION ON ALL DEEP
LEVELS

The Atlanta mine is showing sub
stantial Improvement and shipments
are going forward to the sampler
at the rate of 50-ton carload
every other day, the product aver
aging in value from $22 to $50
per ton. Slopes on the 15S0-foot
level are yielding most of this ore
and there is now good promise Of a
large tonnage in this part of the
mine. There is also some ore of
good grade in sight on the 1620-foot
level, where the Slopes have yielded
ore for shipment. On the 1750-foot
level ore of excellnt grade was ex-
posed in the winZe, sunk near the
hanging wall but the heavy flow of
water caused a temporary cessation
of this work and 1t is probable that
the installation of pumps will be nee
essary to follow this ore to greater
deDth at this point
Throughout that part of the mine
that has been explored, from the
1880 down to the 175O-foot level.
and in the winze below the latter.
ore of milling grade has been ex-
posed in large quantity and 1t has
been determined by tests that this
ore is amenable to successful treat
ment by flotatiOn. Ore is being
blocked out in large volume be-
tween the two levels mentioned,
giving nrOmise of large future
production.

JUMBO EXTENSION Mine
HAS REPORTED NOTABLE
DEVELOPMENTS OF LATE

Connection will be made at this
depth with the main workings in ore
in the central and eastern parts or
the Velvet claim, wheer some OF the
richest ore found in the mine Is
being opened by drifts on three lev
els.
Results obtained in development
recently at several points in the
mine are of more than usual inter-
est. The vein penetrated by the
Velvet shaft, between the 500 and
900-foot levels, opens up important
possibilities for this part OF the
property, and the exploration OF
this vein at greater depth or at the
point of it's contact with the shale.
will be watched with close atten-
tion. The vein exposed by the
southeast crosscut from the Palo-
verde workings, on the third or
800-foot level, has also added to
the interest in the future of this
part of the property, as it was found
to contain ore assaying as high as
$63 per ton. This vein will be ex-
plored by drifts, extended from

KEWANAS DRIFTS
SHOW GOOD ORE
WORK IS PROGRESSING ON VEiN
REGARDED AS i-rtUM-
ISlNG

Conditions in the Kewanas prop
erty are satisfactory, according to
une management, and development
is making satisfactory progress
along the lines planned by Manager
darcy, with the object of exploring
the shale contact zone and dete'-
mining the manner in which this
zone can best be prospected beyond
the point reached by the present
work. The prospects for finding pay
ore in this zone have been mater e
tally improved by discoveries in the
northern part of the Red Top and
Laguna mines of the Goldfield Com
solidated, adjoining on the west,
as the Kewanas is following at
depth the great lode in which hlgE-'
grade ore has been found in those
properties nearer the surface.
The main north drift has now
progressed to point nearly o0o
feet north Of the main working sta
ton, at a depth of $40 feet and
at the bottom of the winze from
the 7OO-foot level. Near the face
of the drift a cross-cut has been
driven to the west and has exposed
what is apparently the foot-wali
of the vein, where ore assayipg
around SIC per ton was found in
considerable volume.
The eastern side of the valley or
depression in the shale, which deep

the north drift, dipping to the

SANDSTONE HAS
MADE PROGRESS
DEVELOPMENT WORK ON 700
FOOT LEVEL STILL In COuN-
TRY ROCK

On the 7OO-foot level of the
Sandstorm-Kendall mine, cross-cuts
are still being driven east and west
from the bottom of the winze sunk
from the long east cross-cut on the
5OO-foot level. The east cross-cut
penetrated vein, which however, is
not believed to be the main lode
that was exposed on the 5OO-foot
level and for which this cross
has been driven. 1t is apparent
that the main vein has flattened
greatly below the 500-foOt level, al
though this is not calculated to dis
courage confidence in the finding
of pay ore when the main vein is
penetrated.
At the west of the main working z
station the cross-cut is progressing
and has exposed the contact be-
tween the andesite and rhyolite.
Deposits of rich ore have been
found in the zone marking this
contact, at other points in the mine,
and the contact will be explored
by drifts, in the hope of picking up
one of the rich ore-shoots here.
The west vein, which was also
exposed on the 500 level, will be
explored by drifts as soon as it
is penetrated and favorable re-
suits are expected from this work.
The property is well equipped
throughout and in shape to make
excellent progress in development.

Developments of the past week in
mines of the Goldfield district have
given satisfactory results and pro-
duction has been maintained on
normal basis in spite of heavy
storms, which have interrupted op,
erations elsewhere. Interest is
growing in the early completion of
oil flotation plants here, which will
afford a local market for large
quantities of low-grade. copper-bear-
ing ores that have been a dead as
set in the past, and the operation of
these plants, on the Goldfield Con-
solidated and Florence properties,
will greatly stimulate the opening
up and development of new ground
throughout the district.
There is good reason to expect de-
velopments of more than passing
importance on several properties in
the near future. The severe wealth
er that has prevailed for the past
few weeks has delayed, in some
measure, the beginning of work that
is planned for several properties in
the district, but this work will be
undertaken as soon as favorable
weather conditions prevail, and
there are excellent prospects for
the opening up of producing mines
within the next few months in
virgin territory.
GOldfield Consolidated
By March 1 the Goldfield ConsOli-
dated Mines company will have plac-
ed in operation the initial unit of
it's projected flotation plant, this
unit to be of so tons capacity. In
preparing the mines for the extrac
ton of the lower grade, copper
bearing ore, of which a large ton
mage is already available, the COM
pany has been terating all free
milling ore of any grade that would
yield the smallest profit, in order
to avoid handling this product a sec
ond time and the ultimate loss OF
large tonnage of this ore.
Although this policy has result
ed in smaller earnings for the past
two months, it, is pointed out that
the final result will Re a material
saving to the company. 1t is said
that the Red Top. Laauna, Mohawk.
Clermont and Grizzly Bear mines OF

March 1.
The fact that some ore of exceed

in the extreme northern part of the
Red Top mine was announced by
President George Wingfeld, during
his recent visit hare. This ore, at
the level OH which 1t was opened,
proved to be of no great extent,
but for a short distance the face
