CRACKER JACK
IN COPPER ORE
EXCELLENT SHOWING IN NEW
SOUTH DRIFT ON FAULT
VEIN

Results of the greatest interest
have attended recent development
work at a depth of $50 feet in the
Cracker Jack. The east cross-cut
on this level penetrated the main
Columbia Mountain fault vein
short time ago and is now being
continued beyond the vein to deter
mine the position of the parallel
Rabbit Train vein, which dips east
at a sleeper angle than the fault
vein and is believed to be at no
great distance from the present
breast of the cros-cut.
Near the hanging wall of the
fault vein a drift is now being ad-
vanced to the south, following the
trend of the big vein, and con-
tinues to show a large mass OF
quartz, containing many seams of
ore running high in copper and
containing some gold The pre-
sent showing is regarded by the
management as highly encouraging
and it is planned to continue drifts
both north and south on the vein
and to drive a series of raises in
order to more thoroughly explore
the ore-channel
The presence of copper in the ore
at this depth is accepted as an in
dication that pay ore will be found
here in good quality and extending
to a considerable depth.

The east orebody being develop
ed from the third level of the Con-
solidated workings still remains
strong and as high grade in the
face of the drift as at any time
since being struck. There was
rumor current to the effect that
fault had occurred in the ledge,
displacing the eastern segment. 1t
is true that a pronounced jog in
the footwall at point about 25
feet into the ledge, caused lime
stone to appear in the face OF the
drift on the ledge. 1t was imme-
diately demonstrated though that
the ore occurred directly back of
the raise in the contour of the
footwall, and to date the face of
the drift has penetrated the ore
body for a distance of 35 feet,
with no signs of the end of the
orebody as yet A line of samples

ATLANTA SHIPS
PRODUCT DAILY
GOLD-COPPER ORE OF EXCEL
LENT GRADE BEING
PRODUCED

Shipments of gold-copper ore of
good grade continue to go. forward
daily from the Atlanta mine to the
local sampler of the Western Ore
Purchasing company. The product
is sampled at this plant and then
shipped to smelters in the Salt Lake
valley for treatment. An excellent
average grade has been maintained
in recent production and it is said
that the company has been making
highly satisfactory profits from this
output.
Development work is being con-
Quoted at various levels below the
14OO-foot point and this work con-
tinues to place in sight large guam
titles of medium grade gold-copper
ore, which is said to be an ideal
product for treatment by the flo
tation process.
The difficulty of marketing con-
centrate under present conditions,
with all the smelters reporting a
congestion at their plants, has pre-
vented treating Atlanta ore here
up to this time, but it is believed
that this difficulty will be remedied
before long and that the Atlanta
company will then be enabled to
secure the treatment of it's product
in the flotation plant of the Con-
solidated Mines company.
The greater part of the ship
ping ore has been coming from the
drifts on the 1750-foot level, near
the hanging wall Of the great vein
and in the northeastern part of the
property, not far from the bound
airy line of the Goldfield Merger.
Some sorted ore from the interme-
diate levels above this depth has
been mixed with the product from
the 1850. making an average grade
that yields excellent returns in gold
and copper. The mine is in con-
dition to make a heavy output as
soon as it becomes possible to mar
ket the medium and lower grade
product.

JUMBO JR. HAS
STARTED RAISE
BIG VEIN Is BEING EXPLORED
AND SHOWING GOOD
ORE

Development work in new terri
tory, conducted by the Jumbo Jun
ior company, in ground held under
lease from the Reorganized Ke-
wanas, is yielding most encourag-
ing results. From the main north
drift on the SS0-foot level a raise
is being driven near the hanging
wall of the great vein. following
it's dip, and has been showing some
ore of excellent grade, although
apparently the raise is not yet in
the best part of the ore-shoot.
Throughout the length of the
drift, extended from the company's
main workings, there has been a
good showing of pay ore and ap-
parently stopping could be conduct
ed profitably at several points, but
it has been the desire of the man
agement to continue the drift to
a point near the northern boundary
line of the leased territory before
starting any extensive operations
elsewhere
This work has now been started,
by raising on the vein. and other
raises will be driven and drifts
extended from the raises in order
to explore the vein in a thorough
manner. Many good assays are be-
ing obtained and samples of the
ore broken have the appearance of
the high grade material found in
in the adjoining Velvet claim of the
Jumbo Extension and in the main
workings of the Reorganized Ke-
wanas. adjoining on the north.

SINK 3 SHAFTS
At COPPER MT.
COPPER ORE ZONES BEING En-
PLORED OVER LARGE
AREAS

Working in three shafts, the
is performing a large amount of
development work on the Copper
Mountain property, situated about
40 miles east of Luning and which
is being worked under a long-term
option of purchase. No ore is be-
ing shipped at present. as it is de-
sired to devote all available ener-
gies and equipment to the thorough
development of the ore-bearing
contact channels, which have al
ready produced a substantial guam
tity of shipping ore.
Sinking is now in progress in
two of the three shafts, while an
extended plan of lateral develop
ment is being carried on from the
third. Machinery was installed
early in June on the No. 2 shaft,
which is being sunk rapidly to
reach the 250-foot level, where
cross-cuts are to be driven to ex-
pore TWO parallel Ore-cnannelS, at
no great distance from this shaft.
All the ore has been found in
these channels. forming the con-
tact between lime and monzonite,
several of which are traced for
long distances on the big property.
At the No. 3 shaft sinking is
still in progress and at sufficient
depth this shaft will penetrate one
of the main contact channels. af-
fording a large area of stopping
backs. Several leases are being
operated on the Copper Mountain
property and the No. l lease, oper-
ated by Miller and La Patte, has
already produced upwards of $780,
900 worth of hight grade copper
ore for shipment to the smelters.
The main shaft on this lease is
now being sunk another lift of 100
feet

LARGE 0REBODY
IN SILVER PICK
VEIN OPENED IN NORTHERN
WORKINGS GIVES GOOD
PROMISE

In the. northern part of the Sill
yer Pick Consolidated company's
property development work con-
Quoted through the old Won Polenz
lease shaft has been yielding most
encouraging results, particularly in
the south drift at a depth of 1O5
feet. At a point in this drift
about so feet from the shaft ore
is now showing for a considerable
width, varying in quality and CIV
ing some exceedingly high assays.
At one point the drift has shown
nearly three feet of ore averaging
$35 per ton in gold.
This drift has also exposed con-
siderable quantities of lower grade
ore. of a quality that would yield
a profit if milled locally. but which
is not sufficiently high grade to
bear the expense of shipping to dis
tant points for treatment Sam
pies of the ore from the new work
ings are similar in appearance to
the pay ore extracted from the pro-
ducing properties to the east and
south and the present showing is
regarded as the best in all the
company's operations.
Work continues in the company's
main shaft. where drifts are being
ertended on the 11O0-foot level in
the heavily mineralized zone open
ed several months ago.

Atlanta Mines Co.
A regular production of substan-
tial value is being made from the
deep workings of the Atlanta mine,
the product being shipped daily to
the local sampler of the Western
Ore purchasing company. whence
it is forwarded for treatment to
smelters in Utah. The output of
workings on the 1750-foot level has
been of uniformly good grade and
has been mixed with the better
grade of ore coming from Slopes
on intermediate levels between this
depth and the 14OO-foot level. De-
velopment work on all levels con-
tinues to block out large quantities
of lower grade material, carrying
gold and copper and shown by ex-
haustive tests to be an ideal pro-
duct for treatment by the flotation
process. Eventually this lower
grade ore will be treated in the
flotation plant of the Goldfield
Consolidated.
ReOrganiZed Kewanas
Work that has been started late
ly by the Kewanas company is be-
ing watched with great interest,
as it is designed to explore the
main vein system of the district
in territory where it has never
been opened at depth and at a
point where the main vein comes
in contact with the shale, apparent
ly at the bottom of a long val
ley or depression in the shale's
surface. From the south drift, at
depth of $40 feet. cross-cut is
now being driven to the east to
cut the main vein and will be driv-
en- to the hanging wall, where a
drift will be extended south to con-
meet with the north workings of
the Jumbo Junior. The latter
company is working in ground
leased from the Kewanas and has
exposed good ore for considerable
distance in the drift driven north
on the hanging wall. In the main
Kewanas workings, far to the
north, a large tonnage of ore of
good grade is being blocked out
for future extraction.
