DRILL CUTS ORE
IN SILVER PICK
GOOD ASSAYS ARE OBTAINED IN
GROUND FAR WEST OF
MAIN SHAFT

The Calyx core drill that is being
used by the Silver Pick Consolidat-
ed Mines company to prospect it's
ground at depth is making satisfac-
tory progress in sinking from =
point about $50 feet west OF the
main shaft. at the 5OO-foot level
Cores secured lately show that the
drill is in vein and seams of ore
have appeared in the cores that have
yielded hign assays in gold.
According to the management
this is not the Phelan vein, which
was exposed by the west cross-cut at
a distance OF about 500 feet from
the main shaft, but is apparently a
new vein, lying parallel with the
Phelan lode. Work performed by
lessees in the latter vein, at a
depth of 130 feet, exposed some ore
of excellent grade. The vein just
cut by the drill has never been ex-
plored, even near the surface.
President Herman Zadig inspected
the Silver Pick property during the
week and expressed himself as well
pleased with the progress being
made in boring and in sinking the
main shaft and he is confident that
the property will be made a produc-
ing mine of the first rank with
further development at depth. The
main shaft is being sunk by contract
from the 700-foot level to a depth
of 1000 feet, at which point the
core drill, working from the bot
tom of the shaft. penetrated the
shale contact zone and obtained
samples of ore of excellent grade.
The shaft is making rapid headway
and the next 80 days will probably,
in the opinion of the management,
bring forth developments of the
greatest moment.

TWO NOTABLE DISCOVERIES ON

zly Bear mines at the points where
the largest and richest orebodies
have been found. Irregularities in
the surface of the underlying shale
apparently account for this slight
change in direction of the vein.
Another DEVELOPMENT Of the first
Importance is in the most south
,easterly point to which development
work has been extended in the
Jumbo Extension property, within
a few hundred feet of the southeast
corner of the Velvet claim and
at a depth of less than 900 feet.
A raise was driven from the south
drift on the 915-foot level and
drifts north and south of this
raise are now producing ore OF
excellent grade. This is in ground
, a considerable distance south OF
any other ore exposure and opens
up new and important possibilities
for a large area on the shale con-
tact in this part of the property
The point at which this ore has
been found is approximately 100
feet, in direct line, from the
new discovery in the northern Vel
vet workings, and between these
points ore of high grade is exposed
at a large number of places on
various levels. both on the shale
contact and in the vein above the
shale, as well as below the shale's
surface, where the vein extends

long time past Chutes are being
installed for the purpose of extract
ing the low-grade ore, which has
been blocked out in large quantity.
Good results have attended the de-
velopment work at several points
and ore of shipping grade, assaying
around $40 per ton, has lately been
exposed on the 650-foot level, where
work was resumed recently.
Jumbo Extension
Two discoveries of great signifi-
canoe have been made lately on
deeper levels of the Jumbo Ex-
tension mine, at points over 1850
feet apart and both in the Velvet
claim. In the southeastern part of
the property drifts in the shale con-
tact zone have been producing ore
of shipping grade, while in the
northern part of the claim, north OF
the new shaft and on the 77O-foot
level, a drift is in ore averaging
from $11 to $14 per ton and in the
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1916-07-01

A discovery of considerable i'm
portance has been made In the
north cross-cut from the Velvet
shaft of the Jumbo Extension, at
a depth of 770 feet, and at a
point some $50 feet from the
shaft At this point in the cross
cut, which is being extended to
prospect the nortr ern part Of the
Velvet claim, drifts were started
east and west and the east drift has
progressed for short distance
in ore that has been averaging from
$11 to SIS per ton. This is on
the foot-wall side of the great
vein and the discovery is regarded
as one of decided significance, as
this territory has not hitherto been
prospected.
The vein in this ground is Of
great width, the cross-cut having
continued in vein matter, between
well-defined walls, for a distance
of over 100 feet, and seams Of
good ore were cut at several points.
The new drift, however, has pro-
duced the best showing that has
yet been made in the northern
part of the property.
Conditions here are in many rec
poets similar to those found nearly
1000 feet to the south, in the
Velvet claim, where the bonanza
orebody was exposed on the shale
contact, near the point where the
vein reaches the shale and there
is reason to believe that the vein
will be found to extend into the
shale, in the form of great fis-
sure, at this point, just as 1t was
found in the southern territory
The direction of the walls here
more easterly than the normal
trend of the lode, is another fac
tor that is accepted as favorable
as this condition is present both
in the Jumbo Extension and Griz-

COMPANY's WORK is PROGRESS
ING WELL IN GROUND OF
PROMISE

Operations of the Jumbo Junior
Mining company are attracting in
terest and the work has already
reached a point where results OF
the greatest importance may be an
nounced at any time. Starting only
within the past fortnight, at the
point where the Jumbo Extension
drift on the S90-foot level reached
it's side-line, the company has ex-
tended this drift for distance OF
between 60 and 70 feet into its
ground and has started to cross-cut
the great vein, in which quartz of
good appearance is showing.
The plan of development that is
to be carried out, following the rec
concentrations of Superintendent ].
X. Turner of the Jumbo Extension,
is comprehensive in scope. The
drift will be continued along the
hanging wall, with cross-cuts at in
tervals through the vein and with
raises from these cross-cuts to ex-
plore the vein in a most thorough
manner. The work is being con-
Quoted under the personal direction
of Superintendent Turner and Fore

sion and the knowledge these men
possess of the geological conditions
in this territory will be an asset OF
no little value to the Jumbo Junior
company.

CLARK SHAFT IS
GAINING DEPTH
JACKSON MOUNTAIN-CUPR
COPPER DISTRICT is ATTRACT
ING WIDESPREAD INTEREST

Miners in the employ of former
Senator w. A. Clark of Montana are
sinking TIE main shaft of the Rea
property, upon which Senator Clark
has a working option and which IS
situated near the base of Jackson.
Mountain, 16 miles southwest of
GoIdfield. A larger hosting engine,
air compressor and power drills
have lately been installed at this
shaft and it is reported that salts
factory progress is being made in
sinking.
The shaft, which was already
down 200 feet when this work was
started by Clark's men, has been
completely timbered and is being
sunk to reach the 300,-foot point,
where it is planned to cross-cut the
vein and determine the size and
character of the orebody at this
depth. There are indications that
the permanent water level will be
found at less than 800 feet and the
present object is to determine if the
ore holds as we'll below the water
level as above.
On the 2OO-foot level cross-cut
has been driven through the vein,
which is of great width and which
contains a solid body of copper ore
over 20 feet wide. This ore is of a
grade that can be treated profitably

MERGER NEARING
SHALE CONTACT
CONNECTION FOR AIR WITH
JUMBO EXTENSION WILL
FACILITATE WORK

Operations of the Merger Mines
company are attracting greater at
tention than for some time past, by
reason of the fact that connection
has been made from it's workings
with those of the adjoining Jumbo
Extension and the work of the
Merger will be greatly facilitated in
consequence. The Merger company
is conducting it's present work from
the Grizzly Bear shaft of the c
field Consolidated, having driven a
cross-cut to the east, at the 1860
foot level of this shaft.
After having followed the shale
contact for a considerable distance
in the northern part of the st. Ives
claim, a raise was driven to reach
the contact farther to the north
and at height of about 80 feet
this raise penetrated the latte and
a drift was driven east from this

ATLANTA SEEKS
NEW 0RE-SHOOT
CROSS-CUT IS BEING EXTENDED
WEST INTO NEW TERRI
TORY

Within the next 80 days develop
ments in the Atlanta property may
assume an interesting phase, as a
result of the new work that is be-
ing carried far to the west OF the
main workings, at depth OF l15O
feet. The cross-cut in this direc-
ton is being driven with the object
of cutting the downward extension
of an ore-shoot that was exposed in
a drift at a depth of about 1900
feet, driven from the raise that
was opened over a year ago to con-
meet the deep Atlanta workings
withe the 1400-foot level of the
Grizzly Bear mine, adjoining on the
north.
Some excellent assays were OBJ
tanned from this ore-shoot, samples
taken across Is inches running as
high as $40 per ton in gold and
copper. Development work in this
territory and in the foot-wall part
of the great main lode has met with
results indicating that this ore
shoot dips farther to the west, and
it is in a part of the mine where
there is apparently fault OF con-
siderable magnitude in the vein.
part of which has been thrown to
the west for a considerable distance.
Drifts and raises between the
400 and 1750-foot levels show
large quantities of low-grade gold
conner ore that will be treated
eventually by flotation.

lately and the hoist will be In
operation within few days and
will be electrically driven and cap
able of hosting from great depth.
The work of sinking will now
hroceed more rapidly.
The shaft, which is of two COM
partments and manway, has al

than so feet. 1t is of three-cOm-
partment size near the surface and
will be enlarged to this size at
depth as required when develop
ment on deep levels shall have be-

Some surface water has been
coming in, but this is readily
Shandled by buckets and will cause

The mining situation in Goldfield
is in every way satisfactory, afford
ing promise of substantial increase
in production during the next few
months and with development work
at many points progressing under
conditions that are favorable to
new and important ore exposures.
Ore is now being treated in large
quantity by the flotation process,
and within another fortnight the
plants of the Goldfield Consolidated
indifference companies will be in
shape to handle upwards of 1900
tons daily by this process. Results
that have been obtained by the use
of a core drill, in prospecting at
depth, approach the sensational, and
this method is destined TO be en-
ployed elsewhere in the district.
