GROUND OF PROMISE IN
SOUTHERN DISTRICT

Development work is progressing
on the party of the Pioneer Ex-

the direction of f. S. Giles, the
company's superintendent and is
reported to be making satisfactory
progress. On the Jolly Jane claim,
adjoining the property of the Pio-
neer Consolidated company on the
north. work has been carried on
steadily for the past three months.
A shaft was sunk on this claim.
about five years ago, to depth
of 200 feet, but no lateral devel-
opment was undertaken at that
time, although some good ASSAYS
were obtained.
In prospecting contact about
It's feet east of the shaft, some
excellent assays in gold were OBJ
tanned and the present work is be-
ing done with the object of pros
pecting this contact at depth of
200 feet. The cross-cut is out
over 100 feet and is in hard
formation, but good progress is be-
ing made.
For the last 40 feet the cross
cut has been in highly siliciied
rhyolite, similar to that associated
with the high-grade orebodies in
the adjoining Pioneer Consolidated
property. Those who are familiar
with conditions in the Pioneer dis
trict have confidence in the out

HOIST INSTALLED
ON CLARK SHAFT
DEEP DEVELOPMENT TO PRO
CEED ON REA PROPERTY
NEAR GOLDFIELD

Foundations have been completed
and a hoist has been installed at
the main shaft of the Tom Rea
property, 16 miles south of Gold
field, which has been secured un-
der option by ex-senator w. A.
Clark, and upon which his men will
proceed to carry out thorough
system of development work. The
shaft has been timbered in a sub
stantial manner and will be sunk
at once from the zoo to the 800
foot point, where extensive lateral
work will be carried on.
Sinking will be started with a
hoisting engine Of moderate ca
pacity, but more powerful equip
ment, including a compressor and
machine drills, will be utilized as
the work progresses, according to
the plans announced by e. w.
Clark. who is in charge of the
affairs of Senator Clark in this
region All necessary buildings and
accessories are being installed at
the property. in prepare tion for an
extended system of work.
Widespread interest has been
aroused in the surrounding dis
trict by the activities here of Sen
ator Clark and there are prospects
of extensive development on other
properties in the immediate neigh
borhood, some of which have sur
face indications equal in prom
ise to those of the ground secured
by the clark interests.

BOOTH DECLARES
SCENT DIVIDEND
COMPANY HAS DISTRIBUTED
$35O,OOO TO STOCKHOLDERS
IN THREE MONTHS

Dividend No. has been declared
by the directors of the ReOrganized
Booth Mining company, at the rate
of five cents per share and payable
June 6 to stockholders of record
May 81. This will bring the total
of the company's dividend payments

COMPANY HAS PURCHASED A
VALUABLE TUNGSTEN PROP
ERTY IN ARIZONA

A report setting forth the pro-
duction and earnings of the Ne
vada Hills Mining company, for the
quarter ending March 81 last, has
been issued by Secretary c. F..
Burton, from the Reno office of the
company A financial statement,
accompanying the report, shows that
the company has no appreciable in
debtedness and that it's net re-
sources now amount to over $500,

The company performed consid-
cradle amount of prospecting work
on the Orc Fino property, situated
near Railroad Springs, some 30
miles southwest of Goldfield, but
finally rel;nquished it's option on
this ground, although the early in :
dications were pronounced to be
highly favorable The work was
directed by A. /. Darcy. manager
of the various Goldfield properties
controlled by the Wingfield inter
ests. The company's operations at
it's Fairview property continue to
yield a profit, but it is pointed out
in recent company reports that the
productive life of the mine is prob
ably limited to a period of no great
extent.

BLACK BUTTE IS
READY TO SHIP
PROPERTY REPORTED In BET
TER SHAPE THAN FOR
YEARS PAST

A shipment of ore of good grade
is to be sent to the sampler at
once from the company workings
of the Diamondfield Black Butte
property and the work has reached
a point on the 150-foot level
where the management has rea-
son to hope that substantial pro-
duction can be made. An orebody
of good appearance was exposed
some time ago IN the 110-foot lev
ell. in work that was extended 10
the southwest from the old Dortnh
lease shaft, but the broken condi-
tion of the vein here caused the
management to start on the deep
er level to drive for point where
il was apparent that two distinct
veins must form a junction.
The work is now nearing this
roint and Sui erintendent Howard
Narine seems to have been justi-
fed in carrying out his plaGs.
This work is in territory that has
not been prospected heretofore and
is at a considerable distance from
the old slopes, which yielded up
wards of 100000 worth of rich
ore in the early period of the
camps activities.
The Orizaba property, con-
trolled by the Black Butte COM
pany and situated some 25 miles
north of Millers, is said to be in
excellent condition and steps are
being taken to remove the water,
which has prevented the working
OF the deeper levels. There is a
large tonnage of ore on dumps
that can be treated profitably.

PROPERTY COVERING COLUM-
BIA MOUNTAIN FAULT VEIN
TO BE DEVELOPED

Equipment is now being installed
at the Adams shaft of the ReorgaIi-
ized Cracker Jack company which
will permit of the exploration OF
the companys ground in a thor
ough manner and at any depth de-
sired. The management has Sc
cured an electric hoist of large ca
pacity, together with compress
sor and machine drills, with all ac-
cessories, and mine buildings are
being erected in order that the
work, which will be started short
". may proceed with the greatest
possible despatch H. G.. Mcmahon,
who is in charge of the company's
affairs, reports that the stockhold-
ers have responded literally and
promptly to the call for the initial
assessment, and this will provide
ample funds for the work planned.
Shaft timbers have been repaired
and the first work will be at
depth of 115 feet, where cross
cut. driven by the original opera
tors, reached the root-wall of the
main Columbia Mountain fault
vein. No development work was
performed here, however, although
seams of good ore were exposed at
the foot-wall of the vein in this
cross-cut and at a number of other
points on the property. A cross
cut will be- extended on the same
level to explore the west vein.
which crops about 70 feet away.

CON. IN
FINE CONDITION
MILL CAPACITY TO BE INCREAS.
ED BY ADDING SHINING
PLANT

Ore of high milling grade is
exposed in large quantities in the
workings of the Pioneer Consoli-
dated mine, in the Pioneer dis
trict, 55 miles south of Goldfieid.
A wide face of high-grade ship
ping ore was exposed some time
ago in extending the famous Bo-
nanZa stope, on the 170-foot lev
ell, and since then raises have been
driven from deeper levels to the
vein. Ore of good grade has been
broken for width of 16 feet and
single man is enabled to stope
sufficient ore for the mill.
Manager w. ]. Tobin, who IS
also president of the company,
states that developments of inter
est have taken place in new work
southeast of the main workings
and the volume of mill ore has
heen augmented largely during the
past few months. The mill mas
been treating about 40 tons da,lv,
operating on part time.
1t is the plan of the management
to increase the capacity and eff
cheney of the mill by installing
shining equipment and operating
full time in the near future. The
ere is free-milling and can be
treated at low cost, while the ton
mage now available is sufficient to
Justify a considerable increase in

FLORENCE TAKES
OVER NEW PLANT
CAPACITY OF FLOTATION Mill
WILL BE ENLARGED TO
800 TONS

The announcement was made this
week that the Florence Goldfield
Mining company had purchased tho
flotation plant erected a short time
ago on the site of the old Florence
mill by the Nevada Metal Extrac-
ton company. By this arrange
ment the dumps of the Florence
roperty, upon which the Nevada
Metal Extraction company had a
lease, revert to the Florence COM
pany. 1t is stated that the capac-
ity of the flotation plant will be
increased at once to at least 800
tons daily.
By the acquisition of this flo
tltion part the Florence company

the treatmt Mt of ores from the
DUMPS ana the mine workings. 1t is
estimated that the dumps on the
property contain approximately
5000 tons Of ore averaging around
SIS per ton, which can be treated
ing $2.25 Ter ton.
In addition to this dump ore, it
is said that the ore now in sight
in the mine amounts to upwards
of $4,000 tons that will yield =
net profit of 81 per ton. Some
of the ore contains relatively lit
tie copper, while in some the cop
per content is high, but the flota-
ton process has been worked out
in the mill to the point where ores
Of all kinds that are found in the
Florence mine or on the dumps can
be worked successfully by this
process, recovering 92 per cent OF
the gold and 80 per cent Of the
copper content.
Up to the present time the plant
has not attained anything like the
capacity for which it was designed
and therefore has not been classed
as a success. This condition was
due to the fact that defective
pumps were installed and have re
quired almost constant repairs.
Metallurgically the plant was en-
tirely successful and the rlotation
equipment has demonstrated its
capacity for effecting high re-
covery.
Additional equipment, including
another tube mill, classifier and
Oliver filter, is to be installed
bringing the capacity of the plant
up to 800 tons or more daily. The
present flotation equipment is of
ample capacity for this tonnage.
The Florence mine is in condition
to deliver this quantity of ore to
the crusher at little expense.

GRANDMA PROGRESSING

The new shaft of the Grandma
Consolidated company is making
satisfactory progress and as soon
as sufficient depth is attained a
hosting plant of large capacity will
be installed and sinking will pro-
press at top speed. 1t is esti-
mated that the shaft will cut the

since copper has been found in large
quantity and a demand has arisen
for other metals found in this re-
gion.
Mining men and others who are
interested in mining investments
are slowly coming to a realization
of the vast Importance of the intro

this district. Elaborate tests. con-
Quoted upon commercial scale,
have demonstrated the efficacy of
this process in effecting a high re-
covery. at low cost, from ores of
every kind found in the district.
Two flotation plants are now in sue
cessful operation and it is likely that
others will be built here in the near
future.
At several points in the district
development work has reached or is
nearing point where important
results may be expected with good
reason At least half-doZen of the
working properties have completed
the dead work necessary to reach
new points on known veins and at
two or three points the thorough
prospecting of the shale contact

tions have shown the position of the
shale contact west of the main ore

demonstrated that the general run
of ore can be treated with complete
success, and upon completion of the

flotation and the cyanide process
will be abandoned. Work has been
resumed on the deeper levels, where
it was suspended early last year ow-
ing to the difficulty of treating the
copper-bearing ore of these levels
by cyanidation. 1t is said that
