SILVER PICK IN
GOOD CONDITION
DEPTH Is BEING GAINED BY
MAIN SHAFT AND CORE
DRILL

Operations of the Silver Pick Con-
solidated are approaching the stage
where there will be reason to ex-
pect results of the greatest import
ance. President Herman Zadig Wis
tied Goldfield during the week and
expressed himself as well satisfied
with the progress made on the
property and with it's prospects for
making a mine.
The main shaft. which is being
sunk by contract, is nearing the
point, at depth of something less
than 1000 feet from the surface,
where the Calyx drill penetrated the
shale and secured specimens Of
rich ore in the cores. At some dis
tance below this depth another
quartz zone was penetrated, from
which good assays were obtained and
which is believed to mark the con-
tact between the shale and alaskite.
1t is planned to sink the main shaft
to a depth sufficient to explore both
of these mineraliZed zones.
The Calyx drill is being sunk from
the 500-foot level. at a point over
400 feet west of the shaft, and some
high assays were obtained a short
time ago from cores that were said
by the management to have come
from a newly discovered vein. east
of and distinct from the west or
Phela1 vein. in which pay ore was
found above this level.

OUGHLY BELOW SURFACE
OF SHALE

Operations of the Jumbo Exten-
sion company continue on normal
basis, with shipments to the sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
rany maintained at the rate of con-
siderably over 100 tons daily, in
addition to some dump ore that has
been sold to the same company and
that can be mixed to good advantage
with the higher grade material from
the deeper Slopes. The former Off
GERS of the company were reelected,
following the recent stockholders
annual meeting, and there will be
no change in management or in the
policy of conducting the company's
affairs.
New work of more than usual in
terest will now progress at the 1O17
or deepest level of the mine. Coa>
nection with the workings of tha
Merger Mines company has afforded
better ventilation and the work,
which has awaited the time when
better air could be obtained here,
will make better progress than
would have been possible heretofore.
Raises that will cut through the
big vein and explore both walls ore
to be driven at intervals along the
main vein, which at this depth is
far below the surface of the shaie,
forming an Ore-channel underlying
and parallel with the shale-latite
contact zone. Ore of high grade
has been stopped in this great fissure
above this depth and at some points,
in underhand Slopes, to a depth of
about $50 feet.
With the flat dip of the vein,
less than 80 degrees in the shale,
this will afford considerable area
of vein to explore and there are
indications of large tonnage of
profitable ore within this big fis-
sure.

PROMISING vein
DRIFT SEEKS EXTENSION OF
BONANZA ORE-SHOOTS
BELOW LEASES

In the Sandstorm-Kendall Con-
solidated property the new drift en-
the 35O-foot level is progressing
along the vein from which the early
lessees extracted quantities of ex-
ceedingly rich ore near the surface.
This vein was penetrated at point
nearly beneath the old lease work
ings and the drift is being extend
ed to the south fvom this point, as
all the ore-shoots in this region are
known to rake in that direction.
From the time the drift was start

is of excellent appearance and
unusually well defined, in point of

shown in the old workings above,
and the vein was entered by the
cross-cut within a few feet of the
expected point.
This work is approximately mid
way between the main Sandstorm
and Kendall shafts and the ground
here has never been prospected be-
low the depth attained by the ea:ly
lease workings, which was only
about 60 feet. In the early work
performed from the Sandstorm-Ken-
dali shaft cross-cut was driven to
this vein, some distance farther
south, but no development work was
done on the vein and there is a
large area here that is still virgin
ground and that has produced bo-
nanza ore near the surface. The
work now in progress is regarded
as holding greater possibilities tor
developing pay ore than any that
has been conducted on the properly
in recent yars.

FOOT LEVEL

Work is progressing on the 500
foot level Of the Goldfield Orc pro-
perty. in territory of good promise
and where many good assays have
been obtained. Shortly before oper-
ations were suspended temporarily
entered a highly mineralized quartz
zone that contained strong seams
of good ore, assays yielding as high
as $40 per ton, and the work is
now being taken up at this point.
Plans are being formulated for
the beginning of extensive work on
the Vulture property at Wonder,
owned by the New York Oro cor
poration, which controls the Gold
field Orc. George A. Manning, pre-
sident of both companies. is now IN
Goldfield and expects to complete
arrangements shortly for starting
work on the Vulture, which has
produced some rich ore in the past.
The property adjoins ground that
is now being developed at great

GOOD PROSPECTS

DRIVING EAST FROM DEEP
DRIFT TO PROSPECT EN-
TIRE PROPERTY

At depth of $50 feet a cross
cut is now being driven east in the
Jumbo Junior property ror the Dur-
pose of exploring the territory east
of the big Jumb Extension vein,
which dips into this ground. From
the point where the east drift, fol-
lowing the hanging wall of the
great vein, penetrated Jumbo Jun
ior territory, 1t has continued along
the wall for considerable distance,
following a course slightly east of
parallel with the side-line, and a
cross-cut has been started over 20
feet from the line to prospect the
vein.
The work of the Jumbo Junior
company is being directed by Sup
erintendent ]. X. Turner and Fore
man L. L. Dellinger of the Jumbo
Extension and is conducted through
the workings of the latter company.

KEWANAS DRIFT

GROUND NOW BEING EXPLORED
OFFERS PROMISE OF BIG
OREBODIES

Conditions in the ReorganiZed
Kewanas property continue to Of
fer encouragement. The north
drift. which has progressed oven
700 feet from the main working
winze, is following the foot-wall of
the main lode of the district and is
in the shale contact zone, where
the character and position of the
vein, in it's relation to the under
lying shale, form close analogy to
conditions farther south, in the
adjoining Jumbo Extension proper
ty, where an orebody of bonanza
proportions was found at the point
of contact of this vein with the
shaie.
Many good assays have been OBJ
tanned in the progress of work dur
ing the past fortnight, and the ter
ritory now being explored by the
drift is regarded as the most prom
ising yet entered. With the further
exploration of this ground, by means
of cross-cuts and raises, it is the be-
lief of those identified with the
property that pay ore will be found
in good quantity.
The work has already served to
place in sight a considerable guam
tity of low-grade ore that will prob
ably be treated in the future by
fiotation and which should yield a
good profit.

At half dozen points in the
Goldfield district development work
is nearing known veins or points in
veins where the continuation of
known ore-shoots must be found un-
less there fs present some unusual
condition of vein structure or of
fault displacement. In all of these
instances dead work is nearing COM
pletion and concrete results may
be counted upon with complete con-
fidence. No less than 20 mining
companies whose stocks are listed
on the exchanges of the country are
operating here on a substantial
scale and in a manner calculated to
produce pay ore.
Within a very short time Goldfield
will begin to realize the benefits
of the application of the oil flota-
tion process to the treatment of
ores of every grade and character
found in the mines of the district.
The two flotation plants now ap-
preaching completion will have a
combined capacity of over 1900 tons
daily, will treat ore at low cost and
will relegate to the past the dis
turbing problem of recovering the
baser metals without loss of the
gold and silver.
Ample assurance is at hand that
there will be no lack of ore to sup
ply these plants for years to come
and with the proof that is already
available of the complete success of
this process it is highly probable
that other similar plants will be
erected in the district. Properties
that have been found to contain
quantities of low-grade, copper-bear-
ing ore, for which there was for.
merly no market, can now be work
ed profitably if provided with ia
cilities for treating their product
by flotation. The use of core drills
for deep prospecting is likely to
achieve a wide vogue here and NAV
have an important influence upon
the future of the district, in reveal
ing large deposits of ore suitable
for flotation.
GOldfiled Consolidated
While production and earnings of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company have been below normal
during the period in which flotation
equipment was being installed, it is
regarded in well-informed circles as
certain that the profits of the COM
pany, with it's new flotation plant in
operation at capacity, will be larger
than for a long time past. Man
ager Hutchinson has had the first
500-ton unit in operation for suf-
ficient time to fully demonstrate its
efficiency, and the second unit,
bringing the capacity to 1000 tons
every "a hours, will be in operation
shortly. Tests have established the
fact that an extraction of at least
50 Ier cent of the gold and SO per
cen. of the copper rontent will be
made. Important a.Ghcmies will be
effected in operation of the plant
and hereafter there will be no ne
oessity for selective mining, as the
product of all parts of the mines
car be treated with equal facility.

Lighting London Streets.

In 1416 citizens were obliged to hang
out candles on dark nights to illumi-
nate the streets. This was enforced
by an act of parliament in 1861. In
1854 Edward Heming, the inventor OF
oil lamps, made daring offer, which
was that for proper consideration he
would engage to place light before
every tenth door on dark nights from
6 p. M till midnight. His proposition
was accepted, and he was given the
exclusive right to light the streets as
indicated for term Of years. But the
scheme provoked a great uproar among
the people. Some of them enthusiast
tically applauded it and hailed Heming
as the greatest benefactor the city ever
had Thousands of other furiously de-
nounced him and his scheme and de-
manded that the contract he Cancelled.
Heming held on, and in time the peo-
pie became reconciled to having the
streets lighted. In 1876 the city gov
eminent assumed the responsibility.
