Development work that gives good
promise of a full measure of sue
cess is being conducted at number
of points in the Goldfield district.
The scope of mining operations has
been curtailed in less degree than in
most mining districts, although here
as elsewhere operating costs have
advanced by reason of the higher
prices paid for all supplies and the
scarcity of competent labor Unfav
orable market conditions, which
have rendered inactive the stocks of
nearly all precious and semi-precious
metal mines, have not appreciably
affected the operations of Goldfield
properties, as the companies here are
for the most part literally financed,
either from their own production or
from assessments on their shares.
Companies operating on the latter
basis are now held in high favor, as
their relatively small assessments
are levied only at long intervals and
in this manner a fixed income may
be relied upon and development work
can be planned accordingly. The
so-called assessable companies are
now exercising the highest degree of
efficiency and economy in their OPP
erations and, with knowledge now
available of geological conditions in
the district, are performing a large
amount of well-directed work for
the money expended.
Recent work on several properties
has borne results that afford ground
for the belief that these mines will
soon be making a profitable produc-
ton from the veins opened in this
work. Many high assays in gold
and copper, together with some
silver, are reported from mine work.

Attention of mining companies
and mine operators has been direct
cd to the fact that they are affected
and are made responsible, under
heavy penalties, by the federal sta
tute dealing with the possession and

Nov. IS. The act provides that
'when the United States is at war
it shall be unlawful to manufacture,

In this connection, section nine

which from it's dip farther to the
west should be reached here at
about the 1900-foot point. After
sinking beyond this point sufficiently
to provide a sump for handling the
water, and before proceeding to the
2000-fcot level, a cross-cut will be
driven, starting at the surface of the
shale, to cut the main lode at the
east
This cross-cut will be extended
through the big vein which is shown
to be over 60 feet wide at the 1850
foot level, and raises will then be
driven from the cross-cut to explore
both sides of the vein, in the belief
that important deposits of ore will
be found, particularly at the point
where the two veins come together.

lanta mine has been exposed on the
1750-foot level, heretofore the deep
est point explored, and in shallow
wines below this level, indicating
that this level marks the top of

WORKING
FAVORABLE REPORT OF RE-
SUITS is ISSUED BY
MANAGEMENT

The first report of operations of
the Silvermines Corporation, outlin-
ing development work on its pro-
perty at Hornsilver, has just been
issued by General Manager S. H.
Brady and indicates that the results
obtained, both in developing the
rhine and in operating the mill, are
realizing in full measure the ex-
pectations of the management. The
property has been equipped with
mining, milling and power plants
Of the latest and most efficient type
and is gradually nearing capacity
operations.
In all departments the plant is
designed to secure the highest pos
sible extraction of metals, with the
greatest degree of economy in
operation. Manager Brady treated
large tonnage of ore from this
mine several years ago at TOnopah
and he was therefore possessed of
accurate knowledge of the processes
and equipment essential to the sue
cessful treatment of this ore. Late
developments in the mine are said
to have been even more gratifying
than indicated by Mr.. Brady's re-
port, which says:
The mill of this corporation is
now in operation and has been since
the tenth of November. We are
now milling at the rate of 75 tons
OF $12 ore each "a hours, and as
soon as we have installed one more
classifier,s which has been purchased
and is now being hauled to the MILL
this tonnage will be increased to at
least 125 tons per day.
"Our power plant is working sat
isfactorily and is ample to take care
of our present needs; and the ex-
traction, as shown from tests which
lave been made since the mill start
ed, is averaging better than 80 per
cent. with every prospect of increas-
ing this to 95 per cent of the sill
YER and gold contents of the ore.
"Our shaft has now reached
depth of $50 feet. skip pockets
have been installed at the 800 and
4OO-foot levels, and the station has
been cut and skip pocket installed
at the 500-foot level. Beyond cut
ting the station at the 500, no
drifting has been done on this level,

JUMBO EX. TOEXPLORE ITS
BIG Vein AT DEPTH
BELOW THE SHALE

With no immediate results of i'm
portance expected, the deep winze
of the Jumbo Extension company is
progressing to the point where a
drift will be extended in a northerly
direction, toward the point where
there is reason to believe il will re-
veal the extension of the ore-shoot
found above and extending, within
the vein, into the shale. At a depth
of less than 70 feet in the winze,
which down to this point was sunk
following the rather flat incline of
the hanging wall, drift was ad,
vanced to the north, keeping near
the hanging wall side, and exposed
number of seams of ore assaying
up to $40 per ton.
. At the 1017-foot level. where the
vein has been explored to a con-
siderable extent, there were indi-
cations that the ore-shoot turned
downward, toward the foot-wall,
and the winze has been sunk lately
at sleeper incline, in order to ex-
plore this part of the vein by drifts
and to facilitate the further pros
pecting of the vein by means of
raises, which will be driven through
the big vein at right angles.
Following system of prospect
ing from the next station to be cut,
sinking will continue along the foot
wall and working levels will be es-
tablished at intervals of from so to
rs feet, with laterals and raises as
already in operation on established
levels. The winze was started on
the 1O17-foot level, below the ID"
raise, the fourth of the series of
raises driven from below the surface
of the shale to open the bonanza
orebody that was found lying i'm
mediately upon the shale, in the con-
tact zone.
This point was selected for sink
ing the winZe because of it's accessi-
bility to the main shaft, because
work at this point would suffer no
interruption from leasing operations
is surrounding territory and for
the reason that the main ore-shoot,
raking to the south, will be pene
trated at depth by the winze if it
continues to depth, and connection
with the Velvet shaft can be made
readily by raising.

Information has just been receiv-
ed in Goldfield of important new de-
velopments in the property of the
Sunset Mining & Development COM
pany, operating the old Tramp Con-
solidated, Denver Bullfrog and Sun
set properties near Rhyolite. Work
has been progressing on broad
scale for some time past and has re-
suited in opening orebodies of great
value on deep levels.
Latest developments on the $50
and 600-foot levels are said to be the
most important in the history of the
property. A winze is being sunk
from the 60O-foot level and in the
bottom of this winze high-grade ore
is now showing, the latest assay re-
turns having been $133.60 per ton

BLUE BULL ORE

HIGH-GRADE MATERIAL Is BE-
ING SACKED IN NEW
WORKINGS

Work on the Blue Bull property
continues to produce some ore of
high grade, which is being sacked
as broken, and it is probable that a
carload of this product will be
shipped to the sampler shortly. AS
says of the ore sacked have indicated
value of about $50 per ton and
while the ore of this grade is not
of great width, there is reason to be-
lieve that the vein will yield suffi-
cient to return a good profit.
The present work of the company
consists of advancing the drift on an
intermediate level, just above the
100-foot point. working through the
old Simmerone company shaft and
in the Pig claim, the most northerly
of the Blue Bull group.
From the same shaft, the use of
which was acquired in perpetuity by
the Blue Bull company, drift was
extended on the vein at a depth of
$50 feet to a point within less than
100 feet of where the ore-Shoot
should be found on the lower level,

level affords a reliable index I'd the

GOING FORWARD
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR
MAKING A STEADY PRO
DUCER

Success of operations of the Red
Hill Florence company appears now
to be merely a matter of continuing
the present system of development
work and the belief prevails among
those in close touch with conditions
in the mine that another 60 or 80
days will see the property in shape
to take rank among the producing
mines of the district. Development
work is being conducted throughout
a wide area, with the highest de-
gree of economy. and already re-
suits have been obtained that offer
much encouragement.
Virgin ground is being opened far
south of the shaft, where a drift is
being advanced on the 500-foot level,
and a strong cross fissure in this ter
ritory is to be explored by raises.
North of the shaft short distance is
another cross vein upon which
raise is being driven and in which
some ore of good grade has been ex.
posed.
Farther north, drifts on and above
the 500 level are being pushed for
ward in the hope of picking up the
extension of rich orebodies that have
been mined in adjoining Florence
ground, directly up to the Red Hill
boundary line.

are being sent to the railroad at
Nolan station daily by motor truck.
1t is said that there is now available
for shipment over 1000 tons of ore
of this character, which yields
substantial profit when shipped to
smelters for treatment. The work
that is being conducted from three
shafts is placing in sight large
tonnage of excellent concentrating
ore, suitable for treatment by the
flotation process and varying in
copper content from two to six per
cent. 1t is said that five-per
cent product can be shipped prof-
tably.
President C. s. Sprague and Con-
sulting Engineer j. X Turner are
making plans and securing neces-
sary data looking to the construc-
tion at an early date of reduc-
tion plant on the Copper Mountain
property to treat the big tonnage
of low-grade ore now available and

After further delay, due to the ne
cessity for adjusting it's motor, the
new high-power sinking pump or
dered by the Atlanta company was
shipped to the mine by express from
San Francisco early this week and
is now at the property. Sinking has

week, after a short interruption from
partial failure of the motor that was
installed for temporary use to oper-
ate the emergency pump. The vol
ume of water is not as great as is ex-
pected when the main vein is pene-
trated and lately the winze has been
making satisfactory progress.
With the new pump in operation
sinking will proceed more rapidly
and within a short time will have
attained a depth of 1900 feet, where
it is expected that the shale will be
penetrated and where cross-cut is
to be driven east to the main vein.
The west vein, the hanging wall of
which was cut at depth of 80 feet
in the winze, is of considerable size
and contains at this point many
strong seams of ore assaying well
into the shipping grade figures.
From the fact that this vein show

centrated enrichment at the point
where it was entered farther to the

Recent reports indicate an expan-
sion of development work on deep
levels, particularly in the Grizzly
Bear mine, the most southerly point
developed at depth on the big prop
erty, where large quantity of gold
copper ore has been mined in the
past. This work is of particular in
terest in view of the general trend
toward deep mining at other points
in the district and is also significant
from the fact that the ore extracted
i'm this territory is regarded as essen
TALLY flotation ore, but having a
relatively high copper content. ore
extracted in large volume from the
lower levels of the Laguna mine and
for some time the product from this
ground formed the main supply for
the company's flotation plant. Re-
sumption of the leasing system has
resulted in opening bodies of rich
ore at a number of points in the
Consolidated company's ground and
both the lessees and the company
have profited from this method of
operation.

DEWEY, HERO OF
MANILA BAY, DEAD
FOREMOST NAVAL OFFICER or
NATION, IDoLIZED BY PEo-
PIE, ANSWERS SUMMONS.
Life Was Full Of Honorable Achieve
ments From the Days OF the Civil
War Down to the Time of His
Last Earthly Efforts.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. George Dew
sy, hero of the battle of Manila bay
and veteran of the civil war. the fore
most naval officer Of the United
States, died at his home here Tues
day. The naval hero went to his
death quietly, his hand clasped in
that Of his devoted wife, who has
been at his bedside throughout his
fatal illness, which began a week pre-
vious.
UP to the last week OF his life Ad-
miral Dewey had been one OF the
commanding figures in Washington.
Active, alert and physically robust,
he had devoted himself with fervor
and with every ounce of his energy
to his duties as president OF the naval
general board. He has worked for
years for increased naval prepared
ness for war. and, with the general
board, worked out a program OF naval
extension. II was with profound salts
action that he saw the nation en-
barked ON great program of naval
defense, and he worked with all his
power to aid In the inauguration of
the new naval plans.
Despite the seventy-nine years which
marked his birthday the day after
. Christmas, the admiral had been hale
and hearty.
Admiral Dewey fought and won the
first great American naval battle
against foreign foe since the war of
1872
| His whole life was full of honorable
achievement from the days Of the civil
war down to the time when, as the
head of the general board, he began
the last chapter of his work by laying
plans for the defense of his country
in time of war. His life was striking
exemplification of the possibilities OF
a career based upon the exact and in
telligent performance of every routine
duty which molds man ON infexible
lines of duty and honor.
One of the curious freaks of fortune
in Dewey's case was that, for perhaps
the first and only time in his naval
career. he was disposed to protest
