nothing to indicate the presence of
an ore-shoot at this exact point on
the shale The find is regarded as
doubly significant. owing to the po-
stion of the drill hole, which is
west of the main lode or ore-channel
of the district, traversing the ad-
joining Consolidated claims, and
is in territory where the shale had
not hitherto been exposed and where
no definite knowledge as to the
depth of the shale was available.
On the 5O0-foot level of the Sill
yer Pick mine. a cross-cut to the
west exposed the lode known as the
Phelan vein at a distance of about
400 feet from the shaft. This vein
dips to the east, as do all the veins
in this region that have a northerly
trend, and the dip indicates that It's

be near the point where the ldrill
has penetrated the sna1e.
The plan of operations for the fu-
ture will be to sink the main shaft
to the shale contact and explore the
contact zone for an ore-shoot from
the Phelan vein, and to cross-cut to
the east and prospect the territory
where the main or east vein reaches

JUMBO JUNIOR PROPERTY
TO BE EXPLORED FROM
DEEP LEVELS OF VELVET

The operations of the Jumbo
Junior company will be under the
personal direction of Superintend-
ent J. K. Turner and Foreman L. l..
Dellinger of the Jumbo Extension,
who will conduct the work along
Extension mine and whose knowl-
edge of conditions in this territory
will be an important asset to the
Jumbo Junior.
Development in this ground will
start in the shale contact zone,
exactly at the point where the
main Jumbo Extension-Booth-C Con-
solidated vein meets the shale. The
cross-cut from the Velvet shaft was
started directly on the shale, and
the dip of the latter is apparently
so near the horizontal in this di-
re"tion that the Jumbo Juniors work
will continue in the contact ore
channel for a, considerable distance.
Conditions revealed in the more
recent development work of tho
Jumbo Extension, in the northern
part of the Velvet claim, are such
az to stimulate the belief that ore
bodies of substantial size and val :
ue will be found in the Jumbo
Junior. Already seams of ore of
excellent grade have been exposed
in the cross-cut and low-grade ore.
yielding average assays of SIS or
sc per ton, is present here in con-
siderable quantity. Mining mon
who speak with authority on the
geology of this part of the district
regard the Jumbo Junior ground as
holding possibilities equal to any
OF the surrounding territory.
The property of the Jumbo Jun
ior company is surrounded by a
number of the most widely known
properties in the district and ad-
joins the Jumbo Extension, Ke-
wanas, Merger Mines and Spear
head. The company has sufficient
funds to defray operating expenses
for long period and retains in it's
treasury about 3S0,00O shares of the
authorized issue of 100000 shares,
the greater part of the stock being
pooled. The stock is non-assessa bic
and large blocks are held by tho
blair estate and other wealthy San
Francisco interests The officers

this part of the property will prove
to be of great value East of the
shaft, on the S90-foot level, and
north on the 7S0-foot level, ore of
good grade has been exposed, al
though the work has not progressed
to the point where any definite opin-
ion can be formed of the possibili-
ties of the great vein in this ground.
The east cross-cut on the $50 level
is being extended to the boundary
line of the Jumbo Junior, which
will be developed through the Jumbo
Extension workings. The No. 2
shaft has been connected with the
principal workings in ore farther
south and the main production will
hereafter be made through this
shaft. Ore-bins and railroad spur
are now being provided at the sur
face for this purpose.
Jumbo Junior Company
A side-line agreement has been
signed by the Jumbo Junior and
Reorganized Booth companies, by the
terms of which tte former wlil pay
to the latter, on a royalIy basis
33 Is per cent of its earnings from
ore extraction until it shall have
paid the sum of 0,000, when it
will be given a deed to all ores in
its ground, occurring in the great
vein that has its apex on the
Booth. This will give the Jumbo
Junior perpetual imm~ lity from
apex litigation. BY agreement with
t e Jumbo Extension company, the
Jumbo Junior will explore its ground
through the S90-foot level of the
of operating expense, and the work
will be under the direction of the
Jumbo Extension management. The
treasury of the Jumbo Junior is
in excellent shape and the chances
of finding orebodies of great
value in its ground are regarded by
the best authorities as exceedingly
good.

Milling ore Of a grade and char

good revenue has been exposed in
large quantity by the Nevada EN-
press mine, owned and operated by
the Nevada Cooperative Mines COM
pany, of which Charles s. Sprague
of Goldfield is president and j. K.
Turner consulting engineer The
property is situated in the Gold

south of Goldfield, and was worked

quantity of which was freighted
overland to distant points for treat
ment.
mountain side. has been developed
by a series of -nine tunnels, driven
to the main vein, and by raises and
drifts on the vein, which have now
blocked out ore continuously for a
distance of 500 feet on the strike of
the vein, with an average of $50
feet of stopping backs, an average
width of over two and one-half feet
and averaging in value something
over $S per ton.
The ore is free-millinS and its
only metallic content is gold. The
company has a mill near the portal
of the lower adit and the ore can
be mined and treated at exceedingly
low cost The plant will probably
be put in commission shortly.

The property of the Jumbo JunS
ior Mining company is to be ex-
plored in a thorough manner al
great depth and a side-line agree
ment has been entered into between
the Jumbo Junior company and the
Reorganized Booth Mining company,
as result of which the Jumbo
Junior will forever be immune from
any controversy over questions Of
fpexrights. Blythe terms of the agree
ment with the Booth company all ex-
tralateral rights that might be
claimed in future are waived in
consideration of the payment of
the sum of 10000, such payment
to be made on the basis of 33 Is
rer cent of the value of ore pro-
duced, until this amount shall
have been paid
The directors of the Jumbo Jun
Tor company have concluded a
working agreement with the jun
bc Extension Mining company, b.
company will be enabled to develop
it's ground through the No. 2 or
Velvet shaft of the latter, operating
at depth of 500 feet. The Jumbo
Junior company will bear its pro-
portion of the expense of operating
this shaft, and the arrangement will
be of mutual benefit to the two
companies and will save the Jumbo
Junior company the cost, amounting
to many thousands of dollars, of
sinking a new shaft to the shale
contact.
Work will be in progress in Jum-
10 Junior territory within a short
time, as the Jumbo Extension has
already extended a cross-cut to the
east, on the S90-foot level, to a
roint within less than 80 feet of
the joint boundary. This cross-cut.
after passing through the great
vein, has been turned slightly north
of east, following course parallel
with the hanging wall, and is being
continued to reach the Velvet east

reached, the Jumbo Junior will take
IN the work and will cross-cut the
big vein, driving northwest to the
foot-wall and exploring by drifts
this ore-bearing zone, which is
100 feet wide in places.

$50 FEET

Work is now in progress on the
new main shaft of the Grandma
Mining company, at a point a short
distance south of the center of the
Grandma claim and where it will,
from present indications, cut the
main vein at a depth of about ESQ
feet. The shaft is being started in
three-compartment size and founda-

With a few sets of timbers in

sunk in dimensions providing for
two compartments of four by four

will be opened later, when needed.
Tbis will permit of making better

lark interests have been uniform

great copper mines from prospects,
and assurance is given that the
entire district will be thoroughly
prospected and explored by men wh ,
are familiar with every detail of the
copper business and who are ac-
cIstomed to securing tangible re-
suits in mining copper.
During the past four months a
considerable quantity of explora
tory work has been done by men
in Senator Clark's employ, on prop

work have encouraged the BELIEF
that copper mines of great value
may be opened with proper develop
