TRIANGLE CUTS
A STRONG vein
SHAFT PENTRATES HANGING
WALL AND SHOWS GOOD
LOOKING QUARTZ

A vein of much promise has teen
penetrated in the progress of the
new development work of the Re-
organized Diamondfield Triangle
company, on the Great BenI-Daisy
claim, adjoining the Diamondfield
Daisy property. The new vertical
shaft, at a depth of about SO feet,
penetrated the hanging wall of a
vein that appears to be of large
size and having well-defined
hanging wall.
Lying next to this wall, the shaft
exposed tale and broken quartz
for a width of foot or more, and
this material resembles some of
the rich ore found in earlier opera
tions along this vein, in workings
of comparatively shallow depth
The shaft is now showing quartz Of
good appearance for a considerable
width and all conditions are pro-
nounced encouraging.
The company's work is confined
at present to the North vein, which
has produced high-grade ore both
east and west of this point and
which is traced in an unbrcken
course for a long distance along
the Diamondfield ridge. The Dia-
monfield Triangle company was
reorganized lately, on the asscssa-
BILE stock basis, and it's operations
are being directed by J. X. Turner,
acting as consulting engineer for
the company.

BONANZA STOPE
IN GREAT BEND
RICH ORE Is BEING BROKEN
ACROSS GOOD WIDTH
IN NINE

The Great Bend mine is in bet
ter shape than at any time in the
history of the company's opera
tions and ore of high grade is ex-
posed on two levels and in stcpes
that are being opened from these
levels. Above the 16O-foot level
the stope now producing the best
ore is being extended upward on
the incline of the vein and some
of the mine assays have heen run
ming well above $500 per ton for
substantial width.
At this point ore of high ship
ping grade is exposed for about
80 feet along the strike of the
vein and there is promise of a
large tonnage of high-grade ore
from this part of the workings.
On the 300-foot level the main
east drift has continued in good
ore, recent assays over a good
width varying from $45 to near
ly 800 per ton. This drift is
being extended to a point under
the new stope on the 160-foot
level, for the purpose of picking up
the rich ore-shoot opened on the
latter level.
Both levels are now showing
more uniformity of grade and a
better width of ore, in addition to
a higher grade product, than have
been revealed in any other part
of the mine and there is every
prospect that the precent profitable
production will be maintained for
some time to come

GRANDMA SHAFT
EXPOSES SHALE
INTRUSIONS FOUND IN SINKING
AT DEPTH OF NEARLY
400 FEET

At a depth of 396 feet the shaft
of the Grandma Consolidated COM
pany has exposed shale, in a
broken formation, apparently an
intrusion of the sedimentary COM
ing in from the Vindicator Noun
tain side and having a westerly
dip This discovery is not regard
ed as particularly significant and
no rock containing metals of value
has been found in association with
the shale.
The finding of shale at this
depth, however. is interesting as
an indication of the influence of
the westward-dipping shale, which
has been exposed at only two or
three places in the district at any
appreciable depth and has not been
explored extensively anywhere.
Sinking will be continued here
for the purpose of reaching the
main bedding plane of the shale
and at that point it is planned to
conduct extensive lateral work to
explore the contact zone.
The proximity of this work to
the large orebody opened in the
shale contact zone on the Kewanas
property, adjoining on the west,
has attracted much interest to
the operations of the Grandma
company, and the territory to be
explored from the Grandma shaft
is regarded as holding possibilities
equal to those of any mining pro-
perty in the Goldfield district.

SILVER PICK HAS

POSED IN Won POLENZ
LEASE DRIFTS

Better conditions are reported
existing at present in the workings
of the Silver Pick Consolidated
than at any time since develop
ment work has been in progress
under the present management. In
the northern part of the property,
in the northeastern part of the
North End claim, work has been
in progress for some time past
from the old Won Polenz lease shaft,
in which ore-bearing veins were said
to have been opened during the
early period of activity in Gold
fled.
This shaft was cleared out to the
bottom, "A depth of about 800 feet.
and some prospecting was done at
that depth, but more recently the
work has been confined to drifts
north and south of the shaft on the
105-foot level. At a distance of
about S5 feet south of the shaft
on this level the drift exposed pay
ore and is now said to be showing
width of over five feet, with
three feet on the foot-wall aver
aging around SO per ton in gold
and two feet on the hanging wall
assaying $35 per ton.
At this point in the drift a fault
was found, with a throw to the
west, and the vein was picked up
again by means of short cross
cut in that direction, where the
same quality and character of ore
t. exposed. The drift is being ex-
tended to the south and 1t is pro-
bable that winZe will be sunk
at a favorable point on the ore
and that another level will be
opened at depth of about 200
feet to pick up this ore-shoot, as
it appears to rake toward the
shaft.

distance a fault was revealed. of
about the same extent in displace-
ment and with a throw in the
same direction. Here also some
pay ore has been found in what
appears to be separate ore-shoot.
and this will be further explored
in like manner. The assays and
description of conditions have been
given out on good authority and
the prospects are regarded as fav-
Orable to an early beginning of
production. Work continues in the
drifts from the main shaft, at a
depth of 100 feet, where large
bodies of quartz are being explored.

Ore of shipping grade is now COM
ing from a larger number of pro-

levels is serving to determine the
position and dip of veins in which
pay ore has been found nearer

shale contact zone in several
places. Although the stock mar

that this is always the quiet sea-

a sharp revival of interest in min
ing stocks and that the Goldfields
must inevitably come in for their
share of such interest.
