Quartz of excellent character is

says were obtained upon penetrating
the hanging wall of this big quartz
zone and a station will be cut as
soon as the shale is exposed. and
lateral IVORY will then be conducted
to seek an orebOdy.
This work is regarded as being
of great Importance not only TO
the Spearhead property, but to all
the surrounding territory, since it
ia designed to prove up conditions
at the shale contact at a point
where the shale appears to reach IT'S
greatest depth this far north and
it is apparent that at about this
point there is a deep valley or de-
preston in the surface of the shaie,
which has been exposed at con-
siderably less depth both to the
east and west. Development work
continues also at a depth of 43O
feet on the Spearhead property.

Mine developments of far-reach-
ing Importance have marked the
past years operations in the Gold
field district, which has been pass
ing through the period of evolution
from a high-grade camp, renowned
fol it's deposits of bonanza charac-
ter, to one in which the attention
of operators is directed to the ex-
traction and treatment of large
badies of lower grade material, ig-
nored during the earlier activities
here.
AS in other high-grade districts,
the realization has come slowly
that depenaance cannot be placed
for an indefinite period upon OPEN
ing new bodies of exceedingly rich
ore, of the character that enriched
the early-day operators, and that
the future of successful mining de-
pends upon the introduction of pro-
cesses by which the low-grade ores
OF the camp can be treated at low
cost.
Exhaustive tests, conducted in
laboratories and on a large ton
mage scale, have demonstrated be-
yond question the efficacy of the
flctation process as solution of
metallurgical problems that hither-
to have stood as an obstacle to the
profitable handling of the baser

ago installed a gigantic radial cable
way for the purpose of delivering
the failing to the mill.
According to the present plans
of the management. the flotation
plant will start operating early in
January, when at least one 500-ton
unit will be placed in commission.
The plant was originally designed
to treat 900 tons of ore daily, by
cyanidation, but it's capacity prov
ed to be far greater than this
amount and during many months it
has treated an average of over 100
tons daily. Eventually it is plan
ned to treat nearly an equal ton
mage by flotation and it is proba-
bic that in the future the company
will accept custom ores from other
properties for treatment in this
plant.
Preparations have been made to
handle a large tonnage from this
time forward and it is regarded
as certain by good authorities that
the ore treated hereafter will be
considerably better than the aver
age treated during the past year or
more. An electric haulage system
has been installed underground.
with which the ore from the entire
central part of the property will
be delivered to the Clermont and
Combination shafts.
limbo Extension
During the later months of the
year the production of the Jumbo
Extension mine declined in large
measure, owing to the working out
of the bonanza orebody found in
the shale contact zone about two
years ago and which has produced
upward of $2,O00,000 worth of ship
ping ore. The company, which had
been placed in excellent financial
shape by it's production up to that
time, thereupon announced that it
would endeavor to purchase another
producing mine and continue as an
active enterprise.
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner,
whose conduct of the company's OPP
ecations resulted in placing 1t in
the forefront of Nevada dividend
payers, has for some time past been
examining and sampling properties
offered to the Jumbo Extension
company, and it is said that several
of the properties examined are pos
sessed of considerable merit and that
the company may find among these
the kind of property it is seeking.
The Jumbo Extension is still devel-
oping it's ground and will shortly in
stall a Calyx core drill with which
to prospect at great depth.
Silver Pick Cons.
The greatest interest has been
aroused by developments at depth
in the Silver Pick property, during
the later months of the year. Drill
holes sunk to a depth of over 400
feet revealed geological conditions
the existence of which had not been
suspected and the results of drill
ing and of sinking the main shaft
to the 1100-foot level convinced
mining authorities that the Silver
Pick ground contained most import
ant possibilities for finding pay ore
in large quantity.
When sinking was resumed from
the 700-foot point in the shaft, the
property was placed in charge of
George f. Dyer, who had acted as
consulting engineer for the Zadig
interests and who recommended the
use of core drills for prospecting at
depth. Following the encouraging
results obtained in sinking the first
hole, from the bottom of the shaft,
the latter was continued to a depth

of 100 feet, where lateral work
was started in a wide zone of
quartz, showing many small seams
of pay ore. 1t is the plan of Man
ager Dyer to resume sinking in
January and to explore the alaskite
contact. Drilling continues far to
the west, where favorable condi-
tions have been revealed in two
holes.
ReOrganized Kewanas
Development work progressed
throughout the year and during De-
cember an orebody of excellent
promise was exposed in the north
ern part of the property, by raising
short distance from the S40-foot
level. This deposit. found in the
shale contact zone, is similar in
character to the bonanza orebody
found in the adjoining Jumbo Ex-
tension mine and gives promise of
making a substantial production of

ores of the district. Large guam
titles of gold-copper-silver ore have
been shipped to smelters in the
past, but freight and treatment tolls
have been such as to preclude the
marketing of ores of lower grade,
that can be treated locally at a
substantial profit with proper ia
cilities available.
The advent of 1917 marks the
introduction in Goldfield of flota-
tion on a large scale, with equip
ment of the most approved type,
designed specially to apply to local
metallurgical conditions. The pro-
cess, as applied here, is the re-
suit of experiments extending over
period of many months and has
now been brought to the highest
degree of efficiency in extracting
the metals, with an exceedingly low
operating cost. The operators are
fully protected against litigation,
present or future, in their use Of
flctation patents.
Throughout the Goldfield dis
trict ore has been found of suffi-
cient value to yield a profit if it
can be treated in the district, but
under conditions prevailing in the
past, with no local market for this
product, it has constituted a dead
asset and mines in which no high

though showing quantities of ore
that can be treated profitably by
flotation. In view of this fact
the Introduction of the process here
is counted upon to effect an i'm
portant revival in the mining in
dustry throughout this region and
to render profitable the operation
of mining properties that have long
remained idle.
New discoveries made during the
year in virgin territory have served
to stimulate development work out
side the proved area, with the re-
suit that several companies have re-
sumed operations on a comprehen-
sive scale and mines formerly class
ed as prospects OF doubtful value
have been developed to the produc-
ing stage. Other properties, still
lacking ore in commercial quantity,
have revealed geological conditions
that are accepted by mining auth
critics as insuring ultimate sue
cess
GOldfieId Consolidated
Operations of the Goldfield Conso-
lidated Mines company have continu-
ed along normal lines, but with a
production less than in past years,
owing to the gradual exhaustion OF
the richer grades of ore found on
upper levels and in the oxidized
zones. With the opening of deop-
er levels, making available a large
tonnage of copper-bearing ore, the
product became more difficult to
treat by the process in use and the
company adopted a policy of min
ing and treating all the low-grade
free-milling ore that could be hand
led at low cost, reserving the more
refractory product for future treat
ment by flotation
In converting the company's mill
to flOtation, sufficient cyanide equip
ment has been retained to treat
large tonnage of oxidized ore and
in addition to this product, the
cyanide department will be used
to treat the vast quantity of mill
failing that has accumulated below
the big plant during it's years OF
operation. The latter product can
be handled at an exceedingly low
cost, as the company over a year

Edison Week October 1921.

More than 100000 people are en-
ployed in the various industries found
ed by Thomas A. Edison. In the
United States alone over 100000 men
and women earned their livelihood in
IyocatiOns created by Edison's genius.
For a number Of years a group Of
these industries has observed October
2lst, the anniversary OF Mr.. Edison's
Invention OF the electric light. This
| year the week OF October 16th-2lst
will be observed throughout the Unit
ed States and Canada as Edison
week. The light and power compa-
nies will manifest their recognition Of
the fact that Mr. Edison is the found
er of their industry, and thousands
of other men and women who make
their living by virtue of Edison's in
yentions will play their part In this
unusual demonstration.
Among the many things planned for
the celebration OF Edison week is
$1,000 prize contest arranged by asso-
ciates Of the inventor. his contest had
its origin in remark of Mr.. Edison
made last spring to one of his assist
ants.
Music is Mr. Edison's hobby. His
lntimates and associates are aware
that of the thousand or more inyen.
tions which he has developed, the
Iphanograph is his favorite. He has
always conteuded that there is no rea-
son why a phonograph could not be
made which would reproduce musical
sounds SO perfectly that the mechani-
cal reproduction would be exactly like
the original music, in fact, SO exactly
like it as TO be indistinguishable
from the original For years Mr.. Ei-
ison has stated that when he got
time hc would develop such a phono-
graph. Scientists generally scoffed
at this idea. and even his own labo-
ratory assistants. with the exception
of two or three who have been with
Mr. Edison so long that they believe
nothing is impossible, were inclined .
to think that the perfect phonograph I.
was a thing that could never be.

his work on the storage battery. Mr.. /
