KEWANAS WILL
EXTEND WORK
DRIFT TO BE DRIVEN SOUTH
FOR CONNECTION WITH
THE JUNIOR

With additional development work
in the Kewanas property, it becomes
increasingly apparent that the ore
body opened some time ago in the
shale contact zone, at depth of
$40 feet and at a point some 500
feet north by east of the main work
ing winZe, is one of large extent
and will eventually yield a large
tonnage suitable for shipment to the
smelters. Stopping has been in prog
extremity of the south drift, which
followed the ore for over 100 feet,
and the product extracted here has
been of excellent grade.
AS the stOpe is extended, in the
form of raise following the i'll.
cline of the vein, it is progressing
in good ore and serving to block cut
a considerable quantity, as this ore
has been opened by raise 100 feet
west of the drift and 100 feet north
of the stope, where it was shown to
be from four to five feet in width
and yielded average assays around
$50 per ton.
The southern part of the property
is to be explored by company work
ings, and drift will be driven from
the present most southerly point
opened in the mine to connect with
the north drift of the Jumbo Junior
company, which has been advanced
into that part of the Kewanas ter
ritory now being worked under
lease by the Jumbo Junior.

ORE
IS PROFITABLE
BEING SHIPPED FOR
TREATMENT

Operations of the Atlanta Mines
company continue to form one of
the chief topics of interest in Gold
field mining circles, as it is known
condition that ever before in the
history of the company's opera
tions and the property is now max
ing regular production of shipping
ore of excellent grade. In addition
to it's shipping ore, the Atlanta now
has in sight vast tonnage of ore
that can be treated at good pro-
fit by the flotation process.
The ore exposed in the Atlanta
mine is said to be more uniform in
grade and in point of the proper
tiOns of its metallic contents than
any found in the Goldfield district
All the workings that have exposed
ore of commercial grade are below
a depth of 400 feet, and all this
ore contains gold and copper, to-
gether with some silver. In the
product of lower grade the copper
content is nearly equal in value to
the gold, making an ideal ore for
flotation.
1t is noteworthy that ore of the
character now being mined in the
Atlanta property was shipped to the
smelters profitably when copper was
quoted at IA cents a pound or less
and with silver far below it's pre-
sent price. No effort has been
made to stope out high-grade ore
bodies in the Atlanta, at the ex-
pense of the large bodies of medium
and lower grade, as it is planned
to secure the treatment of the latter
product here in the district and
tests have demonstrated that sat
isfactory profit can be realized from
the treatment of this ore by the
flotatiOn process.
Arrangements were concluded
some time ago providing for the
treatment of Atlanta ore in the
flotation plant of the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company, but
unforeseen obstacles have prevented
the acceptance by the latter COM
pany of custom ores up to this
time. The chief cause of this has
been the inability of the smelters to
accept concentrate from milling and
flotation plants, owing to a conges-
tion of such products at the smell
ters, and similar plants throughout
the west have found themselves un-
able to secure contracts for the dis
posal of their concentrate. 1t is
believed that this condition will be
relieved in the near future.

CRACKER JACK IS
IN BIG vein
At DEPTH
EAST CROSS-CUT PENETRATES
COLUMBIA MOUNTAIN FAULT
VEIN AT LAST

Development work of the Cracker
Jack company has reached a point
to which the management has been
looking forward for some time past
and results of the next few weeks
will be watched with the keenest
interest. The east cross-cut, at a
depth of $50 feet, after progressing
to a point about 700 feet from the
main shaft, has penetrated what is
apparently the main Columbia
Mountain fault vein, for which it
has been driven, and is now in
highly silicified material containing
some gold.
The cross-cut penetrated the vein
at a point where there is a cross
fault, the extent of which has not
yet been determined, but the face
is all in ore of low grade, averag-
ing around 81 per ton i'm gold. The
material is apparently the filling
of greatly crushed zone, resulting
from fault displacement and en-
riched to some extent by solutions
receding from above. but it is not
regarded as any part of an ore
body in place.
1t is believed, however, to point
to the proximity of an ore-channel
in the vein, which appears to be of
large dimensions and to lie at a
rather flat dip to the east The
cross-cut is being continued, with
the object of cutting the Rabbit
Trail vein or determining whether,
as believed probable, the latter
forms a junction with the big fault
vein above this level. The two
veins have nearly parallel trend.
but the Rabbit Trail vein has a
sleeper dip than the fault vein,
and the flat dip of the latter at
depth leads to the belief that the
two must come together near the
present level, unless the east vein
also flattens considerably.
Rapid progress is being made in
advancing the eross-cut, which has
made headway at the rate of from
five to over seven feet daily of late.
and the position of the east vein
and the extent of the fault should
be determined within the next week
or two. AS soon as this is accom-
plished laterals will be driven from
the cross-cuts in search of an ore

Development work in Goldfield
mines situated in the central part of
the district, on deep levels and de-
signed to explore the shale contact
zone, is progressing at a number of
points, and at three or four of
these it appears likely that concrete
results will be obtained in the near
future. This work is stimulated by
the discovery of the great shale con-
tact orebody found in the Velvet
claim of the Jumbo Extension prop
erty, which yielded over 100000
gross in high-grade shipping ore.
This discovery established the con-
ditions surrounding other import
ant discoveries in the district. al
though up to the time of the Jumbo
Extension find the influence of the
shale upon the ore-bearing zones
had not been studied or recognized
here. J. X. Turner, consulting en-
gineer for the Jumbo Extension COM
pany and in charge of the COM
panys mining operations, solved the
theory that through secondary en-
richment or the dissemination of the
metals in solution, there would be
found a greater degree of concen-
tration of the metals at the point
where ore-bearing veins formed a
point Of contact with the underly-
ing shale, the sedimentary forma-
tion at one time forming the sur
face and laid down prior to the
igneous flows in which the ore
bearing fissures had later formed.
At only few points in the district
has the shale contact zone been
explored to any appreciable extent,
In the Grizzly Bear claim of the
GoldfeId Consolidated, not far from
the boundaries of the Merger and
Atlanta, single orebody of this
character yielded over $55O,000
worth of rich gold-copper ore. while

found in smaller quantity elsewhe 'e

JU MBO JUN|OR RS
NEW FIND IS
IMPORTANT
NORTH DRIFT IS SHOWING
HIGH-GRADE ORE IN LEAS-
ED GROUND

Extending in a northerly direc-
tion, the main drift of the Jumbo
Junior company, at a depth of $50
feet, is progressing in the territory
leased from the Reorganized Ke-
wanas Mining company, covering
the southern extremity of the lat
ter company's property. For con-
siderable distance this drift has con-
tinued to show from one to three
feet of good ore, some of the assays
being of high shipping grade and
the latest sampling giving an aver
age around $56 per ton.
For a distance of $50 feet or
more along the course this work
has followed there is evidence of
the presence of an orebody of good
proportions, which may be opened
in raising or in following the vein
to greater depth.
AS means of developing this
ground to the best advantage, how
ever, it has been decided by Con-
sulting Engineer J. X. Turner and
Superintendent Lou Dellinger to con-
tinue the main drift north to the
boundary of the leased ground,
where later connection will be made
with the workings of the Kewanas
company, thus affording good ven
tilation and greatly facilitating work
throughout this territory.
With the completion of the drift
to the north line of the leased
ground it is planned to further ex-
plore the vein by raises, but no
stopping will be undertaken in the
meantime, unless the ore opens
out on the main level to a width
justifying such an operation, and in
the meantime the management will
continue to save some shipping ore
in the progress of development
work.
A carload of ore was shipped
from the Jumbo Junior workings a
short time ago, the returns from
which indicated an excellent profit,
and there is every promise of fur
ther substantial production with
the continuous opening of the vein
in this direction.

MILLING PLANT WILL MAEk
NEW EPOCH FOR SILVER
DISTRICT

Late reports from Hornsilver state
that satisfactory progress is being
made in the completion of the new
cotton reduction plant of the Sill
vermines company, for which S. II.
Brady, formerly of Goldfield and
Tonopah, is general manager and
consulting engineer. Mr.. Brady,
Gyho has headquarters in Reno, visit
ed the Hornsilver property recently
and is expected here shortly on an
other visit of inspection to the prop
erty. 1t is reported that the work
of laying pipe for the water system
will begin shortly and that some of
the iron pipe is already in place.
The coming of the water will be
an event of .ital imnOrtance TO the
Hornsilver district. as the absence
of any water supply nearer than
eight miles has been a serious han
dicap in all mining operations here
tofore. Owners of claims through
ont the district will he stimulated
10 renewed efforts end with the COM
pletion of the Silvermines company's
mill a market will he afforded for
ores from other properties, as the
capacity is designed on scale suf'
ficient to handle all local custom
ores.
The property owned by the Silver
mines COMPANY, known as the old
Great Western mine, is being devel-
oped il most thorough manne,
under the direction of Superintend-
ent Thurston. The incline shaft,
which is over 400 feet in depth,
will hereafter be the main working
shaft and is being sunk rapidly to
reach the S0O-foot level. 1t is fol-
lowing the dip of the vein and this
will facilitate both development and
ore extraction. The mill is designed
to be one of the best cyanide plants
in this part of the country and is ex-
pected to be in operation some
time in August.

GREAT BEND IN

SLOPES ARE PRODUCING MA
TERiAL OF HIGH SHIP
PING GRADE

Ore of high grade continues in
sight on two levels in the Great
Bend property and the slopes have
been producing material of excellent
average quality for shipment to the
sampler Assays running above 500
per ton have not been uncommon of
late and the returns from carload
shipments have varied from $50
to above $75 per ton While ore
bodies throughout the Diamondfield
part of the district have gained the
reputation of being spotted in
value, thesore broken in the Great
Bend for several weeks past has
gone far to disprove this assertion.
Slopes on the 160-foot level, open
ed from the east drift, have been
showing some rich ore, while Il
product nearly as good has been
broken in extending the drift on
the 3OO-fOot level In order to
avoid possible errors or over esti-
mates in sampling, little attention
is paid to the mine assays and the
management has established a sys-
tenn of plat sampling. by which
most thorough test is obtained and
which results in the assays keeping
a close check with the controls is
sued by the sampler of the ore

ing directed in greater degree to
this work by reason of it's proximity
to the big orebody opened in the

With regular shipments of hish-
grade copper ore going forward to
the smelters and with work pro
crossing in three company shafts, the
Copper Mountain company, when
is being operated under option OF
purchase by the Jumbo Extension
company, is now the scene OF greet
activity and late reports from the
property continue of a gfataying
character. At the No. | shaft 81
substantial production is being mudc
of a product averaging from 10 40
Is per cent copper, and motor trucks
are employed in hauling this ore to

The raise has demonstrated 4 feet
of ore, of milling grade, which
makes the vein feet wide at this
point, and of commercial ore.
During the weeks work in the
west drift, the cross fissure has en-
countered vein carrying low grade
values. The No. 6 north crOss-cut
was begun on the fissure and will
be extended to the lower bedding
plane of the limestone, with the
expectation of developing an impor-
tant oreshoot at this point. The
face of the west drift is in heavy
sulphide ore, carrying values aver
aging $8 per ton. Important de-
velopments can be expected as the
values in the drift are steadily in
creasing as footage is made away
from the fissure vein.
Since the above was written, fur
ther development shows the ore in
the new orebody mentioned above
to be a continuation of the Bath
orebody above, and to assay SIG

been exposed along the east side
of the old raise between the 400

In the Union Amalgamated prop
erty, the footage during the week
is reported as follows:
East drift, 32 feet, which makes
a total of 348 feet from the shaft /;
east drift from cross-cut on fissure,
2 feet; No. cross-cut, raise west,
4 feet; No. cross-cut, 4 feet, west
drift, 80 feet, making a total of
18O feet from the shaft. The week
ly total amounted to ~ feet.
No material change has been no
ted in any of the drifts. The faces
still continue in very hard blue
lime. The east drift from the north
cross-cut on the fissure has exposed

probability, is continuation or
what is known as the Bath ore
shoot, which in the upper portions
of the mine yielded many thousands
