last year. the north drift on the
SOO-foot level had penetrated

contained wide seams Of ore yield
ing good assays. Some of the as
says were as high as $40 per ton
and while no profitable quantity
of ore was exposed by this work,
the results were such as to justi-
fy the further exploration of the
vein in this territory.
Superintendent Weldon Morris
will now proceed to drive the
north drift on the 500 level and
within a short time work will be
at other points on this
level, as well as at the 700-foot
point, where some good assays were
also obtained. The shale contact
was exposed here and the new
work will be carried on in such a

$1,000 CHECK IS
GIFT TO MYRTLE
INJURED EMPLOYE RECEIVES
LIBERAL PRESENT FROM
MINING CORPORATION

Recognition of years of faithful
service has come to M. G. Mrytle
of Goldfield in the form of 4
check for $1,000, enclosed in a
letter from Manager J. w. Hutch
inson of the Goldfield Consolidat-
ed Mines company, expressing his
appreciation of the formers SER
vice and loyalty and the desire OF
the company to show this appreeia-
tion in a concrete manner, at a
time when material aid was needed.
Myrtle suffered the loss of his
right hand early in April. while in
the company's employ, through no
fault of the company or it's EN-
ployes.
Although Myrtle was amply pro-
tected through the usual provis-
ions of state industrial insurance,
the letter of Manager Hutchinson
indicates that he and the executive
officers of the company felt that
the case merited some special ac-
ton in the way of providing for
their injured employe, in view of
the efficient manner in which h.
had served the company during a
lcng period.

OR|zABA IN ORE
OF GOOD GRADE
BLACK BUTTE COMPANY TO DE-
VEIIOP NINE IN NYE
COUNTY

Preparations are being made by
the Diamondfield Black Butte COM
pany to work its Orizaba property
upon comprehensive scale, and
President L. X Koontz is now in
San Francisco, where he has COM
pleted the purchase of mining
equipment for the property. This
equipment includes a powerful hoist
ing plant, with compressor and ma
chine drills and pumps of ample ca
pacity to handle all water that may
be encountered in sinking to depth.
A force of men is now working on
the property, at depth of 95 feet,
where there is now in sight a con-
siderable quantity of good ore.
Deeper workings are flooded, but
these will be upwatered as soon as
the compressor and pumps can be
placed in commission and work will
then be pressed on other levels, with
a view to opening up the ore that
has remained untouched since wa
ter prevented further work below
the 95 level.
On the company's Diamondfield
property, in the northeastern part
of the Goldeld district, some ore of
shipping grade has been broken
lately and it is expected that car
load will be shipped to the sampler
in the near future, the product COM
ing from the 115 and 135-foot lev

been exposed at a number of points
here.
Florence GOldfeld
The company's flotation plant is
nearing completion and will be
treating between 800 and 400 tons
of ore daily before the end of the
present month. The plant will con-
tain equipment of the most approv-
ed type and will be capable of
making high extraction, approxi-
mately the same as the Goldfield
Consolidated company's plant In
the Florence mine large quantities
of ore suitable for flOtation are be-
ing placed in sight and. work is
now progressing on three levels.
Silver Pick Con.
The main shaft of the Silver Pick
is being sunk by contractors and is
making rapid headway. 1t will be
sunk to the 1OOO-foot level, where
the shale contact zone was pene-
trated by the core drill some time
ago and where some good assays
were obtained. The drill is again
being sunk, this time from the
500-foot level and at point $50
feet west of the main workings.

Development work has been re-
sumed in the Goldfield Orc property

At a depth of lis feet the
Cracker Jack company is now driv-

CLARKS OPERATIONS

Development work will hereafter
progress rapidly on the Tom Rea
property, near the base of Jackson
Mountain, Is miles southwest OF
Goldfield and which is being worked
under option by Senator w. A.
Clark of Montana. The property is
now equipped with a hosting en-
CINE of ample capacity for all re-
quirements, together with a new
compressor and air drills. The
shaft is being sunk from the 200
foot level and a station will be
cut at about the 3O0-foot level,
where cross-cut will be driven
70 cut the main vein.
In prospecting son the 200-foot
level the vein was shown to be of
great magnitude and the west cross
cut has exposed body of copper
ore that is said to be from 20 to
80 feet in width. 1t is the de-
sign of f. W. Clark, consulting
engineer for Senator Clark, to ex-
plore the vein below the perman--
ent water level, in the belief that
It greater concentration of copper
will be found there.
Copper ore of excellent grade
has been exposed at depth Of
about so feet, on property just
south of the Rea group, which is
owned and being worked by Con
Driscoll and Charles Webster of
Goldfield. Other local men have
made locations in the immediate
vicinity of the Rea property and
have found indications of copper at
a large number of points.
1t is reported that another i'm
portant deal, involving the sale of
large group of copper claims, mas
just been closed here by eastern
mining men and the prospects are
new favorable for a large amount
OF mining activity in the district
during the present summer.

SINKING RAPIDLY
ON SILVER PICK
CORE DRILL Is AGAIN IN USE
WHILE THE SHAFT
PROGRESSES

Under the direction of the local
men who have contract to sink to
;he 100O-level, the main shaft of
the Silver Pick Consolidated Is
making rapid progress. Manager
Dyer reports that the miners are
making fully five feet daily in
sinking and the work is being done
in the best possible manner.
The Calyx core drill is again in
operation and a hole is being drill
Ell from the working on the 500
foot level, at point about 4SC
feet west of the shaft and a short
distance east of the Phelan vein.
For the first 80 feet the drillers
have been spudding and no core
resulted from this work, but it Is
said that the drill is in quartz and
that the material coming from the
hole yields low assays in gold. It
has not yet been determined wheth-
er this quartz forms a part of the
Phelan vein or II there is another
and a parallel vein here.
The results obtained at all poinss
lately have been most encouraging
and interest is centered keenly on
the completion of the main shaft
to the shale contact which was
by the drill at a depth
of about 1000 feet. and on VIII
will be found at the contact OF
shale and alaskite. where
good assays were also OBJ
the drill cores.

BAILEY AND KINDS WILL
SHIP ORE FROM LEASE

M. E. Bailey and H. o. Kinds
have secured twoyear lease and
bond on property known as the
Fairday group of claims, situated 81
miles easterly from Goldfield, and
will leave for the property on the
18th or goth of this month. They
expect to ship some ore to the
sampler shortly as there is a con-
siderable quantity now in sight that
has been rendered profitable by the
advance in metal prices. 1t is the
present intention of the lessees to
install a small flotation plant on
the property in the near future.

Notices of the annual stock
holders meeting of the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company are now
being sent out, together with
brief statement by the management
setting forth the condition of the
property and present basis of pro-
dIction. The annual meeting will
be held at Phoenix, Ariz., on July
1S, for the purpose of electing a
board of directors for the ensuing
year and transacting such other
business as may come before the
meeting. Only stockholders who
are of record 20 days prior to the
meeting will be entitled to vote.
In a statement to the stockhold-
ers, accompanying the announce
ment of the meeting, President
Charles s. Sprague refers to the fact
that since the last letter was sent
out the No. 2 or Velvet shaft has
been completed to a depth of 900
feet, stations established at the
ITO and SS0-foot points, and $40
and 4S2 feet of development work
has been done on these levels re-
spectively.
On the SS0-foot level drift
from the No. 2 shaft has been ex-
tended to the south and connected
with the slopes in the great ore
body at the VelvetLPaloverde line.
which permits of hosting ore
through the Velvet shaft. Ore bins
have been built at the collar of
this shaft and spur track has
been extended to these bins.
The statement of President
Sprague says that by reason of the
additional hoisting facilities. the
output of the mine has been in
creased to $50 tons daily. In the
north end of the Velvet claim, from
the 77O-foot level of the No. Q
shaft some highly important de-
v-lopment work has been accom-
lished. The main vein was PEN
and in this territory drifts and
raises are now being extended to
explore the vein. Ore of low
grade has been exposed in num-
Der Of ,jlaSe5 as. result of this
work, but more development work
will be necessary to determine the
extent and value of the vein mat
ter in this part of the property.
Since the last report was issuei
the company has succeeded in OBJ
tanning more favorable freight and
treatment charges, which will ef-
feet an important saving in smell
ter losses and will render possible
the marketing Of lower grade pro-
duct than could be handled prof.
ilably in the past.

The rate of production has been
increased, with the completion of
