DRIFT FOLLOWS
LONE STAR vein
APPEARS TO BE NEARING ORE
SHOOT FOUND BY EARLY
LESSEES

Development work in tn property
of the Lone Star Consolidated COM
pany is rapidly nearing point
where interesting results may with
reason be expected. Superintend-
ent Arnold has made satisfactory
progress in driving the southeast
drift on the 225-foot level and be-
lieves that comparatively little more
driving will suffice to reach the ore
shoot from which high-grade ship
ping ore was taken in the Patrick
lease workings.
From all available information it
appears that ore of good grade was
showing in the old workings, at a
depth of about $50 feet, when Ihe
lessees suspended operations, and
the work now progressing is de-
signed to cut this ore-shoot on the
footwall side of the vein, where it
showed the greatest strength in the
lease drifts and slopes a short dis
tance above. Here as elsewhere in
the district, the ore-shoots appear to
rake to the south, the pitch varying
at different points.
With this fact in view, it is
realized that some additional driv-
ing may be required to cut the ore.
1t has been announced by the east
ern men now in control of the COM
pany that if the vein makes a good
showing on this level the shaft will
be sunk to greater depth and the
vein will be explored on deep levels

ROUND MOUNTAIN
IN GOOD SHAPE
PRESIDENT GORDON EXPECTS
LARGE RECOVERY ON
CLEANING BEDROCK

In response to a request for a
report on conditions at the mine,
President L. d. Gordon of the Round
Mountain company wired to San
Francisco a statement for the benc-
fit of stockholders. He declared
that placer operations were pro-
ceeding as usual, that the original
statement of probable earnings
would prove to be conservative, and
that the question of dividends would
depend on results during the bal
ance of the season. The sluices
have yielded more than s65,000
since February 20, and another
cleanup is in progress. The larger
percentage of values is in the bed
rock, which has not been tapped
as yet.
President Gordon also stated that
the Round Mountain water supply
would be somewhat below expec-
tations because of the extremely dry
season. He had no explanation 20
offer for the recent decline, declar-
ing that the management had not
been selling, but had bought the
stock up to 70 cents by it's develop
ment of the property.-Bonanz

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDF|ELD DISTRICT

Florence ore have been conducted
upon an exhaustive scale and have
demonstrated that the recovery of
gold, silver and copper will be APP
proximately the same as that eff
fected by the Goldfield Consolidated.
The mine is said to be in better
condition than for several years past
with a large tonnage of good flota,
tiOn ore and a considerable guam
tity of shipping ore that will yield
a. large profit.
Silver Pick Con.
The Calyx drill, now being sunk
from the 500-foot level of the Sill
yer ick, $50 feet west of the shaft,
has been making good progress and
lately brought up cores containing
rich ore. President Herman Zadig,
who was in Goldfield during the
week, is highly pleased with the
prospects for making a producing
mine. The shaft is rapidly nearing
the shale contact.

acter of deposits found elsewhere
in this territory.
The vein expoaed by the uew
work is about six feet in width,
with we'll defined walls and gener-
ally of excellent appearance. Seams
of rich ore were found ON both
walls, yielding assays uniformly
high, with some IN excess OF 500
per ton. In extending the drift
some of this ore has been saved
for shipment and the company now
has several tons of sorted ore that Is
estimated to average around $50
per ton. A sorting platform has
been provided to facilitate the saw
ing of this ore.
A report describing the work per-
formed in the Great Bend property
has been prepared by Consulting
Engineer J X. Turner and is be-
ing forwarded to the stockholders,
the call for an assessment, No. 3,
at accompanying one cent per share,
which was levied at recent meet
irg. The assessment is payable at
once and becomes delinquent Aug.

Mr.. Turner's report covers the
period from March 1 to June 80,
in which he points out, the total
OF development work has amounted
to 426 feet, in cross-cuts, drifts and
raises, in addition to clearing and
retimbering 100 feet of caved work

CUPRITE SULPHUR PROPERTY TO
MAKE SUBSTANTIAL PRODUCTION

Sulphur deposits at Cuprite, 13
miles south of Goldfield, are to be
worked on a large scale by the
Los Angeles Sulphur company, which
has acquired title to the two prin-
cipal properties, containing depo-
sits of great magnitude. both east
and west of the railroad. Three
carloads of this material, shipped
recently to San Francisco, brought
satisfactory returns, settlement hav-
ing been made on a basis of IS
per cen pure sulphur, and it is
said that this shipment was below
the average of the available sui
phur, in point of purity.
Buildings and camp equipment
are now being provided at the pro-
perty west of the railroad for a
large force of men, who will be
employed at once to open up the
deposits by means of tunnels, cross
cuts, raises and wines. For the
present the work will be conducted
through tunnels, three of which
have already been driven into the
main deposit, and as development
progresses the ground will be pros
pected at greater depth by means
of wines.
The operations of the company
in the Cuprite district will be i'm
charge of A. w. +. Dunn, who is
now making his headquarters in
Goldfield and whose associates in
the enterprise are Edgar Baruch,
Milton Baruch, Walter Baruch and
Edwin Loeb, all of Los Angeles.

Csi in the mine, .hc northeast drift
from the main east cross-cut, SOL
lowing the main vein far within the
shale, is being extended to reach
the line of the adjoining Jumbo
Junior property, where the work of
extending the drift on the vein
will be taken up by the latter COM
pany. From this drift, in Jumbo
Extension territory, series of rails
es will be driven with the object Of
prospecting both walls and cutting
the vein at frequent intervals. High
grade ore has been found in large
quantity in this vein, above the
1917 level, but well below the sur
face of the shale, and these raises
will afford means of stoping out
the ore in an economical manner,
while exploring the vein for other
orebodies. Shipments continue at
the usual rate and development
work in the northeastern and south
eastern parts of the Velvet claim
has continued to meet with encour-
aging results.
