ore showing at number of points
in the Jumbo Extension mine, the
necessity for handling a consider
able quantity Of low-grade ma
terial lately. in order to back-fill
the older slopes and effect import
ant economies in operation, may
cause the company's earnings in
January to fall considerably be-
low those of December The re-
suit of the December operations,
however, showed that any falling
off can readily be made up when
production is on a normal basis,
and Superintendent Turner has re-
peatedly stated that the production
was likely to cary largely from
month to month, If the best ulti-
mate results were to be obtained
and the highest measure of economy
secured. A single shaft is still
used for extraction, and this neces-
sarily places limit upon the vol
ume of production. When 1t be-
comes necessary to remove low
grade material, this naturally in
terferes with the hosting of the
richer ore, but greater economy is
secured in the immediate shipping

1t is freely predicted, by men
who speak with authority, that the
introduction of the flotation pro-
cess will mark the beginning of q
new era of production for Goldfield,
as 1t will not only afford a local
market for low-grade ores that
have been worthless in the past and
greatly stimulate development in
new territory, but is destined
to result, through this development,
in the opening of large quantities
of ore that can be treated profit
ably by this process.

The 10O-stamp mill of the Gold

,ATLANTA STARTS
LARGER OUTPUT
INCREASE IN PRICE OF COPPER
GIVES GOOD TONNAGE OF
PAY ORE

With conditions in the Atlanta
mine showing marked improvement
at several points, Manager Darcy
is now planning to materially in
crease the volume of shipments and
it is probable that the output will
be at least doubled in the near fu-
ture. In sampling a number of
faces on the deep levels of the
mine it has been found that there
are several points where ore is ex-
posed that will yield a good profit
in shipping, at the present prico
of copper.
When the Atlanta Mines company
began shipping ore to the sampler,
several months ago, copper was quo
ted at about l 5 cents. AS the ship
ping ore in the Atlanta then aver
aged in value from $22 to $50 per
ton, and as the copper content, at
the earlier quotation, was worth
from $40 to SIS per ton, it is ap-
parent that the increase in value Of
this character of ore has been con-
siderable and that ore of even low
er grade can now be handled at a
good profit.

1880. 1920 and 1750-foot levels.

Work in the Pioneer Consolidated

The Jumbo Extension mine has
never been in better condition than
at present, nor has there been any
time when more ore of good grade
was in sight Six separate levels
have been driven in the shale con-

The Velvet shaft has reached a
point below the 900-foot level and
at this point connection has been
made with the long east crOss-cut
from the old Paloverde workings
on the 900 or fourth level. A
working station is now being cut
here, and another is being opened
at a depth of 100 feet, where the
cross-cut on the third level from
the main shaft has connected with
the new shaft. Better ventilation
