KEWANAS EXTENDS

IN VEIN
CONNECTION WILL RE MADE
WITH JUMBO JUNIOR
WORKINGS

Exploratory work that is being
conducted in the southern part of

wanas Mining company includes a
drift that has been started lately
and is progressing to the south,
near the center of the great vein or
quartz zone. This drift was start
ed from the southeast cross-cut. on
the S4O-foot level, at point where
the best assays were obtained in
cutting through the vein and it is
to be continued south to connect
with the workings of the Jumbo
Junior company. in ground leased
company.
Farther to the east in this terri
tory the main cross-cut is being
continued, cutting the vein diagonal
ly, in order to explore the hanging
wall country and to determine the
conditions beyond the hanging wall
to the east. What was at first sup
posed to be the wall was exposed
some time ago, but this proved to
be only small slip in the vein and
the cross-cut continued to advance in
quartz of promising character.
The south drift is now in ground
that affords much encouragement to
the belief that orebodies of value
will be found in this territory, as the
ground is heavily mineralized
throughout and many small seams of
ore have been exposed that yield ex-
cellent assays. The drift will be
extended without interruption to
make the connection with the Jun
ior workings, in order to secure bet
ter ventilation, and as soon as this
connection is made Manager Darcy
will drive series of raises from
the drift to explore the vein and to
cut through the vein to and beyond
the hanging wall.
A short distance south of the point
reached by the Kewanas and in
Kewanas ground that is under lease
to the Jumbo Junior, ore of high
shipping grade has been exposed
near the hanging wall of the same
vein. Apparently there are two sep
arate zones of enrichment in the

Satisfactory results are reported
from practically all the mining prop
critics under active development in
the Gcldfield district for the past
week, with developments of more
than passing interest at several
points, notably in workings of the
Great Bend, Kewanas, Silver Pick
and Spearhead companies. Else
where, on a dozen or more other
properties, work is progressing on
a substantial scale and with promise
of ultimate success. Operations un-
der the leasing system, on some of
the larger properties, are assuming
greater proportions and rich ore is
being shipped by lessees in consider
able volume, yielding good profits
both for the lease operators and the
companies owning the ground.
Local mine developments have
shared a divided interest in mining
circles with those reported from
several districts tributary to Gold
field, including Gold Mountain,
Stimler, Tolicha, Pioneer, Bullfrog,
Sylvania and Hornsilver. In the
last-named district the new 250-ton

ATLANTA W|NzE
GAINS HEAOWAY
DEVELOPMENT WORK TO BE
CONDUCTED AT 1000
LEVEL

With the aid of powerful ma
chinery the Atlanta Mines company
is making rapid progress in sink
ing the winze from the 1750-foot
level, for the purpose of exploring
the big Atlanta vein down to the
200O-foot level and possibly deeper.
A depth of considerably over 1900
feet from the surface has already
been reached and at the 1900-foot
point Manager Darcy will drive a
cross-cut to the vein, while con-
tinuing to sink another 100 feet.
The directors of the Atlanta COM
pany are confident that this work
will result in opening valuable de-
posits of ore far below any levels
that have yet been opened in the
Goldfield district. The present
workings of the Atlanta on the
1750-foot level are the deepest in
southern Nevada and the best ore
found in the Atlanta has been ex-
posed at this deep level, with every
indication of persisting to greater
depth.
Development work on main and
intermediate levels from the 400
down to the 1750-foot point has
exposed vast quantities of gold
copper ore of grade that will yield
excellent profits when the product
can be treated locally, and the mine
has produced a considerable guam
tity of high-grade shipping ore. Ar
rangements will be made in due
time to treat the medium and low
grade product by the flotation pro-
cess, to which this ore is said to
be well suited.
