FAST WORK IN
CRACKER JACK
LARGE FORCE OF MINERS DRIV-
ING EAST CROSS-CUT
TO VEIN

Operations of the Cracker Jack
company are making satisfactory
progress, with a large force of min
ers and with the aid of excellent
surface equipment At a depth of
800 feet the east cross-cut is being
advanced and the face has been max
ing headway at the rate of from
five to seven feet daily The cross
cut has been in a broken, oxidized
formation for some time and is
now in a more compact material,
showing occasional seams of good
looking quartz
From all indications on upper
parent that the cross-cut will within
a short time penetrate the main CO.
lumbia Mountain fault vein, at
point where it forms a junction
with the nearly parallel Rabbit Trail
vein. The respective angles at which
these veins dip should bring them
together above the 320-foot level if
the dip is maintained at depth.
Prospecting at and near the sur
face has exposed good milling ore in
both these veins and the workings on
the 120-foot level in the fault vein
supply ample evidence that the ore
continues present at depth. The
results obtained in development on
upper levels support the belief that
orebodies of value will be found in
development on the 32O-foot level.
The shaft has been equipped with
hoisting plant of large capacity, air
compressor and machine drills, and
a pump capable of draining the mine
in short time and which is oper-
ated from the surface, thus insuring
against a recurrence of water diff
culties that have interrupted work
in the past.

ORE SHIPPED.
FROM THE
KEWANAS
LOCAL NINE MAKING OUTPUT
OF HIGH-GRADE SMELT-
ING PRODUCT

A carload of ore of excellent
grade and containing gold, silver
and copper. has been shipped by
the Reorganized Kewanas Mining
company and there is reason to be-
lieve that this shipment marks the
beginning of a substantial output
of smelling ore. The product is
coming from the stope that was
opened recently in the south drift
at depth of $40 feet, where work
has been in progress for some time
past.
This drift was opened from the
end of an east cross-cut. extended
for distance of about 800 feet
from the main north drift and in
the northeastern part of the Ke-
wanas property. After the ore had
been exposed here, Manager Darcy
drove a raise from the cross-cut,
about 100 feet nearer the main
drift, and this raise exposed from
three to five feet of ore of excellent
shipping grade, assays taken across
over four feet at one point yield
ing a value of about $50 per ton.
Following up the rather flat in
cline of the shale, this raise and
the drift extended from it showed
the ore to continue for consider
able distance and to maintain an
excellent average grade. The south
drift was then started. from the
end of the east cross-cut, to follow
the ore in the shale contact zone
and it has continued to show ore
Of shipping grade continuously for
over 100 feet. The face of the
drift is still in the same quality
of ore, but driving has been dis
continued for the present as Man
ager Darcy is devoting the energies
of his force to ore extraction and
will resume work in the drift when
stopping has been further advanced
From the fact that the orebody
has been exposed at points over a
considerable area, it is apparent
that the deposit is one of no small
magnitude and while it's width is
not great at the points where it
has been opened, the ore is every
where of good uniform grade, re-
quiring no sorting for shipment to
the smelter.
In the extreme southern part of
the Kewanas property ore of good
grade has been exposed in the strip
Of territory leased to the Jumbo
Junior Mining company, in develop
ment work of the latter company
at a depth of $50 feet. This ore
is found on the hanging wall side
of the big vein which forms the

ATLANTA MINE
IN GOOD SHAPE
REGULAR SHIPMENTS MADE AND
LARGE TONNAGE Is NOW
EXPOSED

Operations of the Atlanta Mines
company have progressed along the
usual lines and shipments have
been going forward to the smelter
at the rate of about so tons every
weekday This ore is of good
average grade and its production
has resulted in a satisfactory pro-
fit to the company. The output of
the mine and the company's earn
ing power will be increased in great
measure as soon as arrangements
are completed by which the ore of
lower grade in the Atlanta mine will
be treated in the flotation plant of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company.
Development work is at present
being conducted chiefly on the 1850
foot level, where the north drift on
the hanging wall side of the vein
has continued for a considerable
distance to show ore of shipping
grade. and the product extracted at
this point is mixed with sorted ore
from the lower grade Slopes on
levels above.
Throughout an area bounded by
the width of the vein, which is some
60 feet wide, and for a distance of
over 400 feet on the strike of the
vein, ore of good quality for treat
ment by flotation is exposed in large
volume from the 14OO-foot level
down to the 1850 point. Produc-
tion is made through the St. Ives
shaft of the Merger Mines company
and the equipment at this shaft is
of sufficient capacity to hoise a
large tonnage daily. The mine is
reported to be in excellent condi-
ton.

SHIP ORE FROM
JUMBO EX. MINE
WORK IN LOCAL PROPERTY RE-
SUITS IN OPENING GOOD
DEPOSITS

Ore of high-grade has been ex-
tracted from the deposit opened a
short time ago in the Jumbo Ey-
tension property, near the easter n
boundary of the Velvet claim and
in the drift that was extended from
the raise above the SSO-foot level.
Some exceedingly high assays were
obtained in opening this deposit and
the average value of ore extracted
in driving and stopping has been uni
formly good, affording a product
that has yielded excellent profits in
shipping. This part of the mine,
which was virgin territory until
recently, gives promise of supplying
substantial tonnage of shipping
ore.
In the western part of the Vel
vet claim a raise is being driven
from the 770-foot level, through the
vein, with the object of prospecting
the hanging wall. on which side
some ore of high grade was ex-
posed lately by the Consolidated
Mines company, in a strip of ground
leased from the Jumbo Extension
The vein dips east at rather flat
angle and an effort is being made
to pick up this ore outside of the
leased territory.
Near the center of the Velvet
claim some good ore has been COM
ing from the new drift, extended
from the old stopped area, and this
ground contains much material
that may eventually be treated pro-
fitably by flotation. The south
western and extreme northern parts
of the property are still unexplored
at depth and may yet be found to
contain orebodies of value.
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain property which is being oper-
ated under an option of purchase
by the Jumbo Extension continue
encouraging. Ore of shipping grade,
containing from six to IL per cent
copper, is being opened up in con-
siderable volume in workings from
the company's two shafts. Better
facilities for shipping are being
provided at Nolan station, the rail-
road shipping point, and the COM
pany will shortly be in a position
to begin sending a substantial ton
mage to the smelter
At the No. 2 shaft a high-power

MT. JACKSON AND CUPRITE
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

The interest of prominent cop
per operators has been directed late
ly to the big copper belt traversing
the Cuprite and Mt. Jackson dis
tricts and extending from 10 to %
miles south and southwest of Gold
field Development work performed
on the Rea property has exposed
large quantities of copper ore of
good grade and samples taken from
the surface on the ground of the
Mt. Jackson Cuprite Copper COM
pany have yielded assays from eight
to % per cent copper. Geological
conditions are pronounced by expert
authorities to be favorable to the
presence of large deposits of copper
ore at depth and there are prospects
of the beginning of development
work on two or more properties in
the district in the near future.

SPEARHEAO TO
CUT BIG VEIN
CENTERS IN RESULT
OF WORK ON 4OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Two drifts in the Spearhead Gold
Mining company's property. at a
depth of go feet, are progressing in
the shale contact zone and have ex-
posed material from which good as
says in gold and copper have been
obtained from time to time. The
east drift is now progressing in the
ground leased from the Blue Bell
company and the north drift contin-
ues to follow the shale and good
progress is reported in both.
On the 450-foot level a drift was
nearly west of the old Wheeler lease
workings, and cross-cut is being
driven to the east for the purpose of
intersecting the big Spearhead-
Grandma vein below the old lease
workings, in which ore of shipping
grade was found on the 250-foot
level The cross-cut is apparently
not far from the vein at present and
much interest attaches to the re-
suits of this work.
Development work on the deeper
level will have an important influ-
ence upon the operations of COM
panies owning adjoining ground, as
it is serving to determine the posi-
ton and dip of the shale in this
territory, and will demonstrate the
influence of the shale's dip upon the
veins in this region.

Events of the past week in the
an important influence on the fu-
ture of several of the leading pro-
perties and to stimulate interest
generally in mining here. One pro-
perty, that of the Reorganized Ke-
wanas Mining company has entered
the producing list and is now es-
tablished as a mine of substantial
value. A transaction that has been
practically consummated involves
the transfer of control of the Flor
ence Goldfield Mining company to
the ownership of the Red Hill Flor
ence company, and this, it is now
assured, will lead to an important
expansion of development work in
territory of great promise, in the
southern central part of the dis
trict.
Development work at a number of
other points has been attended by
gratifying results and mining men
who speak with authority express
the opinion that the camp is des-
tined to produce ore of commercial
grade for many years to come and
that the near future will witness a
greater degree of activity and an
enlarged production. Congestion of
ore and mill products at smelling
centers, forming an obstacle to the
marketing of concentrate, has de-
layed the operation at full capacity
of the Consolidated company's oil
flotation plant, but a substantial
tonnage of copper-bearing ore is
now being treated in this plant with
complete success Ore is being ship
ped to distant points for treatment
by the smelling process in greater
volume than heretofore, taxing to
the utmost the capacity of sampling
equipment of the ore purchasing
companies A considerable amount
of surface prospecting is being per-
formed in the district and several
properties that have been idle for
many months. or even years, are
expected to resume active opera
tions in the near future.

OPEN RICH ORE
IN GREAT BEND
PRODUCT OF NEWER SLOPES is
BEST FOUND IN
MONTHS

Ore of high grade is being stopped
in the Great Bend property, at
depth of 100 and 800 feet, and re-
cent shipments have been of higher
uniform grade than for some time
past. According to the manage
ment and to others who have in
spected the property lately, condi-
tions are in every way satisfactory
and there is now good promise of
production that will yield the
company substantial revenue.
Some of the ore broken lately is said
to have returned mine assays of
about 800 per ton, while the gen.
eral average has varied from $50 to
$50 per ton.
Development work is being ad-
vanced toward the eastern part of
the property and the main drift on
the 3OO-foot level will be continued
to prospect for an orebody that
yielded some high-grade material
and that was opened in development
work from the old DR.. Lockhart
lease shaft.
This shaft is not far from the
east end-line, marking the boundary
between the Great Bend and Dia-
monfield Daisy properties. Ore OF
shipping grade has been mined by
lessees just beyond this line and all
of this territory is regarded as hold
ing important possibilities.

MERGER OPENS
VEIN IN SHAlE
LOW-GRADE COPPER ORE FOUND
IN DEEP DEVELOPMENT
WORK

At a depth of 1850 feet in the
Merger Mines property, development
work is being extended into the
northern part of the st. Ives claim
and has resulted in exposing guam
titles of low-grade ore, carrying gold
and copper. This ore has been
found largely in the form of fissures
extending within the shale and its
presence in this form is accepted
as an encouraging indication. This
ground is only a short distance to
the east of the large slopes in the
adjoining Grizzly Bear mine of the
Goldfield Consolidated, which pro-
duced a large tonnage of rich smelt-
ing ore.
When this ground was first open
ed. by a cross-cut driven to connect
the Grizzly Bear shaft with that of
the Merger company, seams of good
ore were found, together with large
bodies of quartz of good appearance
and containing some gold and cop
per. This was, in fact. the first
copper-bearing ore found in the
Goldfield district.
Some work was performed on this
level. but extending to the east or
the Grizzly Bear workings, and at
that time no ore had been found in
the shale contact zone. The ground
now being explored offers better
promise than any that has been
opened in the property for a long
time past.

JUMBO JR. HAS
GOOD OUTLOOK
ORE OF GOOD QUALITY EXPOS
ED IN TERRITORY UNDER
LEASE

Development work of the Jumbo
Junior Mining company is being ex-
tended to the north, into the ter
ritory leased from the Reorganized
Kewanas Mining company, follow
ing the course of the main vein
system and keeping near the hang
ing wall of the vein from which the
Junior company has already ship
ped ore of high grade, mined in it's
own ground The territory now be-
ing explored is regarded as hold
ing great promise for the opening of
orebodies of value equal to others
that have been found in this i'm
mediate vicinity.
A carload of ore, extracted from
the company's main drift on the
S8O-foot level, was shipped to the
sampler recently and returns are
said to have been highly satisfac-
tory. 1t is indicated that the pro-
perty will produce other shipments
in the near future.
Much interest attaches to plans
of the company to later open the
vein at greater depth, by driving
into it's territory from one of the
deeper cross-cuts in the Velvet mine
of the Jumbo Extension. In this
manner it will be possible to get un-
der the ore now exposed in the
drifts.

OF
FLORENCE
SOUGHT
DEAL WOULD GIVE RED HILL
FLORENCE MAJORITY
OF STOCK

Negotiations have been in prog
ress for some time and apparently
are about to reach a successful con-
clusion, whereby controlling in
terest in the ownership of the Flor
ence Goldfield Mining company will
be acquired by the Red Hill Flor
ence Mining company, owning and
developing territory adjoining that
of the Florence company. Practi-
cally all details of the transaction
are said to have been completed
and it is stated that the interest ac-
company will include the stock of
the Florence Goldfield company
held by A. ID. Parker, president of
the latter corporation, and by the
Thomas G. Lockhart estate.
In the furtherance of their plans
for taking over control of the Flor
ence company. A. H. Howe and H.
G. Mcmahon, as officers and direc-
tors of the Red Hill Florence COM
pany, have issued a communication
to the creditors of the Florence COM
pany, stating that the first step
contemplated, in the event of the
success of present negotiations, is
the payment in full of all the Flor
ence company's obligations. The
creditors are asked to lend their
aid and cooperation in carrying out
the plans Of the Red Hill company
and to withhold any summary ac-
tion in pressing their claims against
the Florence company.
In this connection it is stated
that the principal creditors have al
ready signified their approval of the
plans now under negotiation and
have agreed to cooperate with the
officers of the Red Hill Florence
company in bringing about the con-
summation of the deal, in the con-
viction that this will lead to a
prompt settlement of their claims
against the Florence company.
A report filed in the district court
by the receiver of the Florence pro-
perty during the current week,
shows that the Indebtedness of that
company has increased in large
measure since the appointment of
the receiver and local creditors of
the company have regarded as re-
mote any settlement of obligations
in their favor.
Under the conditions by which
control of the Florence company
will pass to the Red Hill Florence,
it is understood that the latter
corporation will acquire approxi-
mately $4,000 shares of Florence
stock, leaving in the hands of Flor
ence stockholders about 100000
