ON WAY TO PENITENTIARY

Deputy Sheriff Mcfarland, OF
Las Vegas, passed through Goldfield
last night on his way to Carson
with Beatrice Withers, a colored wo-
mar sentenced to from n to 10
years for killing her husband. The
details of the murder case yer
widely published in Nevada papers
at the time. The woman Is said
to have been badly beaten by her
husband and that when she fired
the shot he had a beer bottle in
his hand and was about to kill her.
1t is said that Judge Averill, before
whom the case was tried, is at any
time willing to sign an application
for her pardon. The jury in the
case was composed of Mormons. 1T
is reported. and that the principle
of IAN eye for an eye" governed
the verdict.

these slopes large pillars of ore
we're left during the early history
of operations on the mine. and it
is hoped to ultimately make quite
a nice production from the ground
in question.
The usual production averaging
around two carloads of a good grade
smelling ore are being marketed
each week. This product is broken
on the upper levels of the mine
and a nice earning is resulting from
this one source. In fact, enough
ore is being produced in this mon
mel to pay operating expenses of
the mine, which, in itself, is an
item of no small importance.
The Jumbo Extension manage
ment is conservative. 1t is prose-
cutting a ~well-defined campaign Of
exploitation that promises to be
fruitful of results at no distant date.
With continued production being
made, and with new development
being carried along in a systematic
manner it is anticipated by those
interested that discoveries of an i'm
portant nature will eventually be
made. all of which will rebound to
the best interests of the Goldfield
district. Stockholders appear to be
satisfied with the results that have
so far been forthcoming, and are
contented to bide their time n
await the carrying to a successful
termination a campaign of mine
building that promises to be of last
ing duration.

AVERAGE GRADE
ORE IS SHIPPED
GREAT BEND STARTS RAISE TO
CONNECT TWO UPPER
LEVELS

The Great Bend mine continues
to make a splendid showing and
the usual production is being main
tanned. During the past week set
Element was effected On the sixth
and seventh carloads of ore that
were broken on the 300-foot level,
and returns of s25 and $26 re-
spectively were realized. The
eighth carload was loaded out the
first of this week, the product be-
ing consigned to the local sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany.
The drift on the 500 level of the
mine has been discontinued for the
present. 1t was found necessary to
make connection with the 160-foot
level in order that a natural circu-
lation of air might be obtained. In
order to accomplish this it will be
necessary to extend the 160-
foot level to connect with the raise
that is being carried from the 800
foot level.
1t is proposed to drive the east
16O-foot drift for an indefinite dis
lance, or until the endlines of the
Daisy claim have been reached. This
drift is now 800 feet east from the
crosscut extended from the vertical
shaft, and is 100 feet in length,
making the present face of the drift
400 feet from the main shaft.
In the performance of this work
excellent Roadway is being made in
the breaking of ground, seven feet
being accomplished daily with two
shifts.
Consulting Engineer J.. K. Turner,
who returned a few days ago from a
professional visit to Oatman, Ariz.,
is highly pleased with the showing
that is resulting from this we'll
known property. Plans formulated
some time ago for the thorough ex-
~ploration of the Great Bend will go
forward without interruption, and 1t
seems to be a foregone conclusion
that the property will round into
form until it will be developed into
one of the steady and reliable pro-
ducers of the Goldfield district.

NEW WORK ON
JUMBO JUNIOR
TERED IN RAISE ON
EIGHTH LEVEL

A change of policy in development
was inaugurated a few days ago
on the Jumbo Junior property, n
of the most promising mines in the
section Immediately connected with
the life of Goldfield. Work which
was being prosecuted at the bottom
Of the winze sunk from the $50
foot level, has been discontinued on
account of value in the ore not war
ranting further expenditure of
money in that direction. Also, a
flow of water interfered to a GER
proved the source of great annoy
ance.
With the suspension of work in
the drift run from the bottom of
the winze, Consulting Engineer J..
X. Turner has inaugurated develop
met on the S80-foot level and will
drive a drift along the course of
the vein. This drift has been ex-
tended for Is feet and a raise has
been started. A fine looking vein
of ore is being followed and the
outlook is most favorable for an
important mineral find being made
in the immediate future.
At the present time there is a
small amount of ore in the bin at
shaft No. 2 of the Jumbo workings,
and a saving of mineral is to be
effected with a view of making a
carload shipment.
With preliminary exploration
continued and with every prospect
of paying ore in large quantities be-
ing uncovered, we can at least look
forward to occasional shipments be-
ing maintained, the ore to be taken
from ground on the 88O-foot level.
The Jumbo Junior promises to
give a good account of itself dur
ing the next few months. While no
sensational fir!s have been made,
operations have been prosecuted
with vigor for a long time past and
we'll directed exploration certainly
should result in important discov-
cries being ultimately made.
