COPPER Mines JUMBO EXTENSION
NOW MAKING HEAVY PRODUCTION

The Copper Mountain mines, re-
Gently taken over under longtime
option by the Jumbo Extension Min
ing company, are proving the source
of a wonderful production. Since
the controlling company secured
possession of this property a con-
tinuous production has been in
order, and the output is gradually
being increased.
The Miller-La Patte lease now
shows one of the most remarkable
bodies of ore ever exposed in Min
eral county and it is estimated that
there is at least $150,0O0 exposed
in the lease workings. The ore vein
has an average width of three feet
and returns show values of from
IA to II per cent copper. This
orebody will probably net $4,000.
Consulting Engineer J. X. Turner
stated Tuesday that shaft No. 2 had
been sunk to depth of 35 feet.
How deep this shaft will be lowered
depends entirely upon what may
develop as work progresses. Shaft
No l has a depth of 100 feet and
prosecuting has been started for the
purpose of catching the walls of the
vein. No definite information will
be obtainable until vein matter has
been penetrated Scattered ore
shows values of a commercial quail
ity, but no attempt is being made
at the present time to save the
mineral.
At the present time 100 horses
are being employed in ore trans
portation, while a number of auto
trucks are also engaged in the work.
Everything about the premises is
showing in splendid physical form
and indications are bright for a
record-breaking production being
made during the coming summer.
The Jumbo Extension Mining
company is employing force of 16
men on company account. Work

MANY Florence LEASES Being
GRANTED ORDER DISTRICT UOURT

to result in the Florence Goldfeld
company again being financed to
permit of an extensive campaign of
exploration being carried forward.
Since the order was issued out of
the district court by Judge j.
Emmett Walsh, and which resulted
in the mine workings being thrown
open to lease down to the 60O-foot
level, IA different leasing privileges
have been granted. 1t is stated
that one surface privilege held by
Tonopah mining men is showing
unusually strong and the prospects
are bright for early shipments being
inaugurated. Trenching is in prog
ress and from what has been
learned a vein of ore has been ex-
posed which shows unusually high
values in gold. Whether the ore
shoot encountered will prove of that
richness which caused the Florence
to spring into prominence during
matter of conjecture, but at least
the development now in progress
fully warrants continuation.
The various leasers at work on
different parts of the property have
not yet started shipments. A con-
siderable tonnage of rock is being
lifted to surface, while occasional
punches of ore are in evidence. 1t
is anticipated, however, that it will
not be great while until regu-
lar and substantial production will
be in order from this we'll known
property.

There was quite a furry on
ing movement of stock in the Red
Hill Florence Mining company. The
movement can probably be attribut-
ed to the fact that the Red Hill
Florence secured a lease during the
past week on the Red King mine of
the Florence Goldfield property,
which adjoins Red hill Florence
ground to the north, and of which
mention is made in another para
graph. Another reason probably lay
in the fact that the company is in
excellent financial condition, and
that funds are available to insure
that there will be no assessment lev
led for several months.
An important mining deal was
closed this week when the Red Hill
Florence Mining company secured
possession under favorable leasing
terms of the Red King lode mining
claim, owned by the Florence Gold
field Mining company.
Under the terms of the lease, as
by Judge ]. Emmett
Walsh of the district court and Re-
ceiver Harry B. Clapp, the Red Hill
Florence company is permitted to
develop all ground in question for
a width of 500 feet and a length
of 1000 feet, with privilege of ex-
ploring territory to depth of $50
feet.
Operations will be prosecuted
through the Red Hill Florence
shaft, which has a depth of 500
feet, and in view of the fact that
the lines of the two properties ad-
join, the prospects are unusually

GRANDMA SHAFT
BEING LOWERED
RECEIVER is IN POSITION AND
SUPERIOR PROGRESS
RESULTS

Machine drills have at last been
brought into commission at the
Grandma property and now progress
is resulting at the rate of about
two feet each day. The receiver for
the operation of the drills was in
stalled the first of this week, after
having been delayed in transit from
San Francisco. Power is being Sc
cured from the Jumbo Extension
plant and everything about the
premises is working satisfactory.
The shaft on the Grandma has
been lowered to a depth of $50 feet,
but progress is now resulting at
the rate of about two feet each day.
The ground is unusually tough, no
signs of any ore having been en-
countered during the past week. 1t
is expected that something impor-
tant will develop within the next
few feet of sinking.
The pipe line for the reception Of
air from the Jumbo Extension power
plant is in position and with the
arrival of the receiver from San
Francisco no delay was per-
mitted in installing the equipment.
In the meantime Mr.. Turner and his
assistants are making the best of
conditions and are crowding the
work of sinking the shaft.

PUMPS LOST At
CRACKER JACK
NECESSARY FOR
FEW DAYS TO PERMIT
REPAIRS

AS a result of an accident to the
pump just installed on the 32O-foot
level of the Cracker Jack mine, tho
mine became flooded with water on
Wednesday. In some unknown
manner the intermediate gear was
crushed, which resulted in the pump
losing control of operations.
The water came flowing into the
station and the two pumps, with a
total capacity of 375,000 gallons,
were put out of commission. OPP
erations were necessarily suspended
and the entire working crew laid off
pending that time when the needed
repairs have been made.
General Manager II. G.. Mcmahon
left Wednesday night for Tonopah.

general manager of the Great West

Mr.. McGee is in possession of an
electric sinker and it is possible that
the apparatus will be secured and
brought to Goldfield and installed
in the Cracker Jack If not, then
baler will! be brought into use
with a view of relieving the mine
workings of the great quantities OF
water that must be contended with
previous to the resumption of work.
Manager Mcmahon stated that it
might be necessary to purchase new
pumps before the campaign of de-
velopment so happily launched a
short time ago can be carried to a
successful termination. This will
not require a great length of time.
in the event this move is found
necessary.
Miners were informed to remain
in readiness to go to work at a

will be made concerning operations
that will unquestionably be resumed

LARGE WORK ON
SILVER MINES
HORNSUVER SHOWING GREAT
ACTIVITY WHERE LARGE
COMPANIES OPERATING

There is much activity in evil
dence at the property of the Silver
Mines corporation, operating at
Hornsilver. Grading for the new
1OO-ton cyanide plant is progressing
most favorably and it is hoped to
have matters in readiness within
the next three or four weeks where
by construction on the building may
be started.
The incline shaft has been
Strengthened down to depth of
800 feet, and there is something
moving along all the time at the
seat of operations. This shaft,
which will be used as the main
working entrance to the mine, will
be repaired that all the ore from
the workings may be hoisted and
dumped into the mill bins.
A we'll known operator, who has
spent the last several days at Horn
silver, remarked Wednesday that
the prospects were unusually bright
for the Silver Mines corporation
being classed among the heaviest
producing companies of that locality
during the coming summer. He
stated that large force of men
was being employed and that from
ywhat he had learned construction
on the new mill would shortly be
undertaken. In addition to this
work the company is making ready
to install a water line that will
have a length of eight mills and
which will cost, when completed,
approximately $4,000.
Movement of machinery from the
cyanide mill purchased at Rhyolite
will start within the next month, or
Just as. soon as the roads are in
shape to permit of heavy traffic.
Other equipment has already been
purchased and is expected to arrive
shortly.

sinking of the two shafts. The new
camp shows much activity and
there are 80 men domiciled at the
mines, which is exclusive of team
sters
There are several sets of leasers
at work, and in nearly every in
stance shipments are being main
tained. The mine is showing in
better form than was ever antici-
pated when taken over by the

that it will prove one of the best

The reorganization or annual
stockholders meeting OF the Flor
ence Goldfield Mining company,
which was held last week, gives
promise of developing into some
thing that will prove of immense
benefit to the Goldfield district.
While plans are in embryo re-
garding the refinancing of the COM
pany, it is known that preparations
are being made to perfect a reor-
ganization of this former strong
mining organization. A. D. Parker
of Philadelphia, who was elected
president to succeed himself, is

LAGUNA-RtO TOP
INCREASES WORK
PORTION GOLDFIELD CONSOLI-
DATED ESTATE PRODUCING
HEAVILY


An extensive campaign of de-
velopment was inaugurated this
week on the Laguna property, a
portion of the big Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company estate.
While little has been heard con-
cerning this property of late weeks,
development that has been prose-
cuted has been of most satisfac-
tory nature and a steady output OF
medium grade ore has been in
order for some time past.
On Tuesday the working crew
was added to by IA men, and while
no definite information is obtain
able concerning exploration, it is
centered largely on the 26O-foot
level at a distance of 240 feet south
of the shaft. During the month OF
January 1919 tons of ORC were
broken that returned an average
settlement of $10.13 a ton.
The Laguna-Red Top property
has long been recognized as one of
the most promising of the Goldfeld
Consolidated estate, and the fact
that extensive development has been
planned and that the working force
is being daily increased augurs well
for the entire district. 1t means
that production will be augmented
in a substantial manner and that
eventually the property will be the
scene of much activity heretofore
not noticeable.

tions. The ore being marketed is
taken from the stope being carried
from the 300-foot level and returns
varying from $45 to $57 ton are
being received in settlement. Some
improvement has taken place on
the 160-foot level, where drifting
has been in progress for the last
several weeks, but as yet no ore
of a commercial grade has been
encountered.
Grandma Mining Company
Consulting Engineer J. X. Turner
has installed the receiver which is
now being used in the operation of
machine drills in the lowering of the
shaft. The shaft has depth of
$50 feet, but there has been no

material change in the character of
the rock. Mr.. Turner left Thursday
for Oatman, Ariz., on a mining mis-
sion, but will return inside of two
weeks. In the meantime develop
ment will proceed as formerly at
the Grandma property.
Florence Goldfield
1t is stated that plans are being
formulated whereby this company
will be refinanced. At the meeting
of stockholders held in Goldfeld
last week this matter was discussed
and the consensus of opinion pre-
vaied that the time was opportune
to raise the money to wipe out
indebtedness previous to carrying
out well defined campaign Of eX
ploratiOn. There are IA sets of
leasers at work on the property, and
it is said that in one of two in
stances a highly satisfactory show
ing is taking place. No ore ship
ments have yet been started, al
though a large amount of rock is
being hoisted.
Orleans NJ. & NJ. Co.
A new mineral find is reported
from the Orleans property, in the
Hornsilver district. The discovery
was made on the 400-foot level at
point where the dyke divided. On
the east side pay mineral came in
that has an average width of six
feet, while grab samples show
values of $35.68 ton in silver
and gold. 1t is figured that there
is now blocked and ready for ex-
traction no less than 700 tons of
this ore. Heavy shipments are
being maintained by Manager j. w.
Dunfee, the last carload taken from
the 345-foot level bringing settle
ment of $42 ton.
Silver Mines Corporation
Excavation is progressing salts
factorily at the Silver Mines cor
poration holdings in the Hornsilver
district Grading for the 100-ton
cyanide plant that is to be con-
structed will be completed within
the next three weeks, at which time
construction on the mill building
will begin. The incline shaft has
been Strengthened down to the 800
foot level and it is proposed to
make this shaft the main working
entrance to the mine.
Leaves on Business Trip
DR.. A. Fl. Elftman, consulting
geologist and mining engineer for
the Silver King Mining company
and the Horn Silver Mining COM
pany, left Thursday for San Fran
cisco. From there he will proceed
to a number of eastern states with
a view Of securing the necessary
funds with which to prosecute
well-devised campaign of explora-
tion. DR.. Elftman expects to be
absent about four weeks.

Many events of importance from
mining standpoint have trans
pired during the past week in the
Goldfield district. The whole sec
ton tributary to this region is show
ing greater activity than at any
period during the past year and it
now seems to be an assured fact
that the coming summer will wit
ness the dawn of new prosperity.
1t is estimated that more miners
are now working on days pay than
at any time within the past two
years Each day and week seems
to witness the resumption of opera
tions on some old-time producer of
bygone years, or, better still, some
of the larger operating corporations
enlarge the scope of development.
Many deals of Importance are
now nearing consummation in this
district, while investors have been
giving the "once over" to properties
lying within the great mineral belt
adjacent to Goldfield and the sur
rounding camps.
The production from the mines Of
this locality is being augmented
daily and some important mining
information is promised in the i'm
mediate future.
