partly broken condition, resulting
from the sinking of the sump near

was ground to powder by the shot

With the system in use, by which

the drill by means of the hoist at
the collar of the shaft and thus
obviate the necessity for uncouplins
the drill in short sections or joints,
when removing the cores. Addi-
tional core-barrels will be available,
and changes can be effected in only
a few minutes, while operating at
considerable depth.
Telephones have been installed,
by means of which signals can be
given between the engine house or

The 5O-ton initial flotation unit of
the Consolidated Mines COM
pany, installed in the mill struct-
TIRE, is now in operation and IS
reported authoritatively to be work
ing with complete success. 1t Is
said that in the treatment of me-
dunn grade ore, carrying copper
and gold. the plant is recovering
over 80 per cent of the gold con-
tent and practically all the COPPER,
and that plans are now under con-
sideration for the early instali,i-
ton of equipment capable of hand
ling 1000 tons daily.
Success in the application of the
flotation process, as demonstrated
by the Consolidated plant, is re-
garded ty mining men and metal!ur-
gists as marking the advent Of a
new era of production for Goldfieid.
Heretofore the medium and low
grade ores of the district that carr
more than one-half of one percent
copper have been a non -marketa-
bic product, since the presence o!
copper has precluded its profitable
treatment by cyanidation or other
processes employed here.
In the mines of the Consolidated
company, as well as in other prop
critics of the district, there has been
no systematic attempt to develop or
block cut large bodies of ore Of
this character. although develop
ment work on deeper levels has
exposed vast quantities of ore that
will eventually be treated by flota-
son. Henceforth the Consolidated
and other companies, assured of a
market for this product, will del
vote their efforts to greater eX1
tent to the exploration of the deem
er levels and to the blocking on

According to the best authorities
il is unlikely that the flotat;on
process will completely supplant cy-
anidation here for some time TO
come, if ever, and the growth of
its application will probably be
gradual, excepting in the. casn OF
the Goldfield Consolidated. The
latter company will be in a position
at any time to supply a flotation
plant of large capacity from it
known reserves of copper-bearing
ore, while continuing to treat ;ts

be operated at any angle up 10
45 degrees from the vertical and it
is planned to bore holes at least
1900 feet in depth.
Manager Dyer reports the recent
discovery of some good ore in the
mine and expects to make a con
tinuous production for some time
to come of a product of high milling
grade. At two points in the mi1e,
on the 500 and 600-foot levels, ore
of good width and assaying front
$40 to SIS per ton has been eX-
posed. The Phelan vein is showing
two feet of good ore on the 500

contain between 400 and 500 tons
of ore averaging from $f2 to SIS

the south, a drift is being advanc~

with the 503-D raise from the lol'-

of about 60 feet above the lol'
level, exposed wide body of high
grade ore, with shale both above
and below, and continued in the
shale to a height of considerably
over 100 feet, proving the exist
ence here of hill or ridge in the
shale's surface.
Southeast and south of this raise

position of the workings to the

SANDSTONE WILL
FOLLOW CONTACT
STARTS EXPLORING ZONE In
WHICH HIGH-GRADE ORE
WAS FOUND

Work has been resumed on the
Kendall Consolidated property, fol-
lowing the contact zone between
the rhyolite and andesite, in which
several orebodies of limited di-
mensions but of exceedingly high
grade have been found in the past.
This contact forms a vein or fissure
that can be traced for several
thousand feet through the Sand
Kendall property and the
results of it's earlier exploration
were regarded as decidedly en-
couraging.
Development on the 700-foot lev
ell, from the bottom of the winZe
that was sunk from the east cross
cut on the 500 level, has ceased for
the time being, as the east and
west cross-cuts proved that the
veins hau fia.tened greatly below
the 500 level and difficulties We, u
offered in further extending the
work from this winze.
The cross-cuts exposed the alasll-
ite in one direction and the Ken
dali tuff in the other, indicating
that this point is in basin, form
ed by the basic formations, and
there was no sign of any appre-
ciable deposition of shale here, be-
yond occasional small inclusions,
found in the andesite. Manager
Darcy is confident of obtaining
good results in exploring the con-
tact channel on the 35O-foot level.

NEXT FEW WEEKS EXPECTED
TO BRING IMPORTANT DE-
VELOPMENTS HERE

Work in the property of the
Goldfield Merger Mines company is
approaching a point of great inter-
est to those who are identified with
the company and the next few
weeks may bring developments of
vital moment to the stockholders.
The north drift, from which several
raises have been driven lately to
the latite-shale contact, is pro-
crossing in the shale, in line par
allel with the east boundary of the
adjoining Velvet claim of the jun
bo Extension, and it is the belief
of Manager Willis Lawrence that
the continuation of the bonanza
Jumbo Extension ore-channel will
be exposed within another 100 to
$50 feet beyond the present face.
The system of development is
similar to that which resulted in
opening the rich orebody in the
Jumbo Extension, with raises driven
from the cross-cut in the shale to
the latte. While these raises have
not yet exposed ore of commercial
grade, they have served to deter
mine the position and dip OF the
shale's surface and will afford a
guide to future development work
in this territory, particularly at
greater depth.

tions will be submitted to the di-

and the best authorities are con-
to exert vital influence upon the

OF great interest also are the

Mohawk claims of the Consolidated,
the richest gold mine known in

The Jumbo Extension mine con-
tinues in excellent condition, with
ore of high grade showing at a
number of points in the workings
throughout the shale contact zone
and in the great fissure that pene
trates the shale. New Develop
mont work on deep levels, from the
Velvet shaft, is now commanding
interest, as this work is extending
into ground that has not been eX-
plored, but which is traversed by
veins of great promise and in
which ore has been found farther
to the south. On the S90-foot
level drifts are being extended
north and south from this shaft,
the north drift advancing toward
the southern boundaries OF tho
Kewanas and Jumbo Junior prop
critics, while the south drift IS
progressing along the shale con-
tact for a connection with the u

richest ore ever found in the mine.
The north drift is said to have eX-
posed ore of high milling grade, at
a point not far from the SHAFT.
Shipments continue at the rate OF
over 100 tons daily. The com
pany will soon have the advantage
of a lower rate in marketing its
ore. which will result in a saving
of over $4,000 monthly over the
