New discoveries of the first i'm
portance have been recorded in the
progress of the past weeks mining
operations in Goldfield and the Wis
ible Gre reserves in several proper
ties have been materially augmented
in consequence of these finds. In
one instance the new ore exposed is
of exceedingly high grade, proving
the extension of a known orebody
over a considerable additional area,
while at another point ore of good
shipping grade has been opened in
one of the main veins of the district,
which has produced many millions
of dollars in bonanza ore in adjOin-
ing territory.
At several other points the work
performed on various levels has been
attended by most encouraging re-
suits, supporting the conviction that
other rich deposits of ore will be
opened in further extending the
development work now in progress.
ne scope Oh mining operations Is
being extended in every direction
and the cooler autumn months will
see a marked revival in activity
throughout the district.
For the first time in the history
of the Goldfield district work is be-
ing undertaken which will result in
exploring below the shale, at a
depth of 1000 feet or more and we'll
within the basic alaskite or under
lying granite zone. In the early
days of the camp it was generally be-
lieved that the alaskite and shale
were both barren of enrichment, but
later development at depth proved
that the ore-bearing veins contin-
ued within these formations in the
form of fissures and indicated that
there was no material change in
point of vein structure or degree of
enrichment in this zone.
Outside territory is now receiving
more attention than for some time
past and development is to be great

MINE RECEIVER
FILES ANSWER
CLAPP CONTENDS MONEY WAS
RECEIVED IN LAWFUL
MANNER

John r. Kunz, as attorney for II.
B. Clapp, receiver for the Florence
Goldfield Mining company, has filed
an answer to the petition of the
Western Ore Purchasing company in
the case against the receiver. This
petition was filed short time ago
by the ore-purchasing company,
claiming that a shipment of ore
from the Arnold lease on Florence
ground had been "salted."
The answer admits that the West
ern Ore Purchasing company paid to
the receiver $9,226.94, as alleged, but
contends that the money came into
the possession of the receiver pursu-
ant to terms and conditions of the
lease granted to Arnold and denies
that the receiver had no right, title
or interest in the sum. On the con-
trary, the answer contends that the
money came into possession of Re-
ceiver Clapp in a lawful manner.
The receiver alleges that If the
35-ton shipment, which was the
cause of the petition being filed was
tampered with, it was done without
his knowledge or consent.
The answer states that shortly
prior to the time of shipment the
lessee notified the receiver that he
had ready for shipment 80 tons of
ore, valued at more than $40 per ton
hn
ore shipped and caused assays to be
made of controls taken by the ore
purchasing company. 1t is alleged
that the ore-purchasing company
also assayed and sampled the ore
and, being satisfied with the re-
turns, refused to make any further
tests or call an umpire.
Seventy-five per cent of the value
of the shipment. as indicated by the
assays, or $6451.51, the amount re-
naming after deducting sampline
charges, was then paid the lessee,
according to the answer.
Receiver Clapp claims that in the
transaction he was merely a trustee
ana DOunu 10 pay the money 10 tlSf
lessee as soon as it came into his
hands.
1t is reported that the man who
had charge of the samples on the
day when the alleged sailing took
place, in the abs ence of Superinte' d.
ent G. r. Miller, has since left the
state and that sufficient evidence
has not been available upon whicl
to cecure hi, return to face criminal
charges. superintendent Miller suf-
fered a serious injury some time ago
through the explosion of a blasting
cap, in waste which he was hand!ing
and has been under medical treat
ment in San Francisco.

The most important news to come

GREAT BEND MINE
IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION
NEW RAISE IN RICH ORE AND
PROVING BIG TON
MAGE

Developments of the past week in
the Great Bend mine have been of
the first importance, bringing into
sight substantial additions to the
known ore reserves and proving the
extension to the east of the main
ore body for a considerable dis
tance. Shipments are going for
ward without interruption and the
product has continued of a uniform
ly good grade, although no attempt
is being made to establish a record
in production.
A new raise from the east drift
on the 160-foot level, at a point
over 80 feet beyond the eastern ex-
tremity of the main stope, has con-
tinued to show ore of high grade,
the most recent sampling indicat-
ing the presence of fully two feet
of ore assaying $507 per ton, to
gether with like width assaying
$92.50 per ton. This ore is directly
in line with the rake of the main
ore-shoot, from which bonanza ore
has been broken in the stope far
ther west, and the new work proves
up large tonnage of shipping ore.
In recent shipments the average
value has been considerably below
the figures maintained in July, for
the reason that the greater part of
the product has come from develop
ment work and no ore has been
broken for some time from the
back of the main stope, in which
the richest ore is showing. A raise
has been driven from the bottom
level, which is 800 feet down on
the dip of the vein, and has CON
nected with the 160-foot level
proving the ore to be continuous
from the deeper level to the 100
and apparently the ore-shoot ex-
tends to point near the surface.
On the 300-foot level cross-cut
has been extended to the north for
a considerable distance, for the
purpose of penetrating and pros
pecting the parallel north vein,
which has shown some good ore
near the surface. On this level
the main drift has exposed good
ore at several points, in one sec
tion of the vein showing a product
of shipping grade of fair width for
over 40 feet along the strike of the
vein. The slopes above the upper
level will be continued upward and
opened continuously, insrring a sub
stantial output of shipping ore of
high average grade.

CRACKER JACK
NEAR BIG vein
DRIFTS ON BOTTOM LEVEL ARE
SHOWING SOME PAY
ORE

In the face of the east cross-cut
on the 320-foot level of the Cracker
Jack mine there is evidence that the
work is approaching the Rabbit
Trail vein, for which it is being
driven. Some discoloration and
silicification are now showing here
and any round of shots may be
expected to reveal the vein, which
lies east of and has a parallel trend
to the main Columbia Mountain
fault vein. The latter has been
penetrated at two points, apparently
on this level and is showing some
good ore.
Two drifts have been extended to
the south from the east cross-cut,
both following what appear to be
different segments of the main vein,
the lower part of which seems to
have been raised by fault action,
making it possible for the hanging
wall to be exposed at two points,
about so feet apart, on the same
level. Both of the south drifts ap-
pear to be following the hanging
wall side of the vein and both have
exposed quartz of encouraging
character.
While many high assays have
been obtained in extending these
drifts, the greater part of the ore
shipping profitably. The ore con-
tains gold, silver, copper and zinc,
and the best of this ore shows the
bismuth crystals that are usually
present only in ore of high grade
A considerable quantity of excellent
mill ore has already been exposed
and all indications point to the near
proximity to highly enriched
zone.
While important results are ex-
pected from the exploration of the
two main veins on this level, parti-
cular interest is directed to the
opening of the ground forming the
point of contact between the two
veins.
From the dip of these veins, az
AifAtCd1Cu nearer Tie surface, IL Is
regarded as probable that this point
of contact will be found not far
below the present level, as the Rab-
bit Trail vein, to the east has a
much sleeper dip than the Colum-
bia Mountain fault vein, which lies
at a rather flat angle. The wide
dissemination of minerals through
out this territory, together with the
favorable character of the veins,
support the belief that important
developments will result here in
the near future.

ATLANTA READY
FOR DEEP WORK
LARGE STATION IL COMPLETED
At DEPTH OF 1850
FEET

Preparations for sinking to d
depth of 1000 feet in the Atlanta
property are going forward at a
satisfactory rate and sinking will
be in progress within a few days
the big station on the 1750-foot
level having been practically COM
pleted and requiring only the equip
ment to be used in sinking. At this
point a compressor plant will be
installed and pumping equipment
of sufficient capacity to meet all
possible needs.
The station has been opened for
length of 10 sets of timbers and
is of sufficient height to accomo-
date the head-frame for the hoist.
With the necessary machinery in
operation, progress in sinking will
be rapid here and there is little
likelihood of any interruption aris-
ing from water difficulties. In Or
der to insure against water trou-
bles the big winze is to be sunk in
away from the foot-wall of the vein
and in ground that is relatively
free from water.
Starting at a point some 20 feet
from the wall of the vein, the
winze will be sunk vertically, gain
ing in distance from the vein as
depth is attained. On the 1900 and
2000-foot levels it is planned to
drive cross-cuts to the vein. In
this manner the water can be hand
event of opening a water channel
when the vein is penetrated on
deeper levels, provision can be made
by installing bulkheads in the cross
cuts for preventing the flooding of
the workings.
Development work has progressed
elsewhere in the Atlanta mine and
there is now exposed and in readi-
ness for extraction large tonnage
of pay ore, which will yield a good
profit when treated by flotation.
Ore shipments, chiefly from work
lngS on the 115O-foot level, have
continued to yield profit and
the company now has no indebted
ness and is in condition to make
regular profits from the shipment
of ore.
The work now being undertaken,
of sinking to greater depth than
has yet been reached in any south
ern Nevada mine, is regarded as
being of vital Importance to the
entire district, as it is destined to
solve the problems that have long
been source of speculation to
mining men here. regarding condi-
tions of naturalization below the
shale and within the underlying
alaskite.

KEWANAS OPENS
NEW TERRITORY
SEAMS OF GOOD ORE EXPOSED
IN DEEP DEVELOP
MENT

Development work of the Reor-
ganized Kewanas company continues
to produce results of the greatest
interest, particularly in the ground
that is now being explored for the
first time, in the extreme southern
part of the property. In this ter
ritory cross-cut is being ~riven
to the southeast on the S4u-.oOt
level, and is passing tf rough the
great vein or quartz channel dia-
gonally, with the object of reaching
the hanginw wall at point near
a large fault, the presence of which
has been demonstrated just south
of this point, by work of the Jum-
bo Junior company, in ground leas-
ed from the Kewanas.
For a long distance this cross-cut
has been advancing in vein matter,
owing to it's direction and to the
fact that the vein, which is of
dip at this depth, which is near
the shale contact zone.
When the hanging wall is reach
ed here, drifts will be extended
along the wall and it is at this
point that the most important re-
suits are expected. The ground
that is affected by the big fault will
also be thoroughly explored, in view
of the fact that many of the rich
est orebodies here have been found
near such faulted zones.

JUMBO EX. MINE
IS DEVELOPING
COPPER MOUNTAIN PROPERTY
BEING OPENED ON BROAD
SCALE

Favorable reports have been COM
ing from the Copper Mountain prop
erty. under option to the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company, and the
condition of the workings, both of
lessees and of the company, is said
to be more promising than for some
time past. Two of the company
shafts are being sunk rapidly, with
the aid of good equipment, and both
of these are expected to penetrate
the ore-bearing contact zones within
the next fortnight. Good ore is
showing in workings from the No. l
shaft.
Shipping has been resumed lately
by the Miller-La Patte lease, oper-
ating block of ground near the
No. l shaft of the company. The
production of shipping ore from
this lease was interrupted for time
while some necessary development
work was being done and while the
shaft was being sunk another 100
feet This work is now completed
and motor trucks have again been
engaged in hauling ore to the rail
road siding.
From the No. / company shaft a
cross-cut was extended to the ore
channel on the 150-foot level, gain
ing in depth as it progressed into
the mountain, the drifts both ways
from this cross-cut placed in sight
considerable quantity of copper
ore of good grade. Shafts No. 2 and
No 3 are situated at points where
the presence of the orechannels has
been demonstrated and large areas
of stopping backs will be made avail
able when these ore zones are pene-
trated, which will be within a short
time.
In the local property of the Jumbo

PAY ORE EXPOSED
IN RED HILL
FLORENCE
RAISES AND DRIFT SHOWING
PRODUCT OF EXCELLENT
GRADE

The present showing of ore in
workings of the Red Hill Florence
property is regarded as fully justi-
flying the belief that the mine will
soon be in condition for a regular
production of shipping ore, with
favorable chances for the opening
of bonanza deposits such as were
found in adjoining territory to the
east. Ore of shipping grade is now
exposed at two points, about 90
feet apart. at depth of $50 feet
and fully 60 feet from the boundary
line, extending back into Red Hill
Florence territory.
In early-day workings on the
500-foot level from the main shaft.
a raise was driven for distance
of about 80 feet, at point not
far from the shaft, and some seams
of high-grade ore were exposed. In
the new development work raises
have been driven both north and
south of the point where the earl
ier discoveries We're made, to It
height of SO feet above the 500
foot level, and both of these raises,
about 60 feet apart, are now show
ing ore from three to four feet in
width and assaying from SIS to
$31 per ton.
The trend of the vein, which is
the main Florence lode, is nearly
due north, with dip to the east.
and distinct cross veins are found.
highly mineralized and identical in
character with breaks in the main
vein farther north, with which the
high-gra deposits have invariably
been found to be closely associated.
Similar cross veins or fault frac-
lures, resulting in little if any dis
placement of the main vein, were
found in opening the bonanza slopes

of the Red Hill Florence, at depth
of approximately 500 feet, the rich
ore having been opened here to a
depth of slightly over $50 feet in

opened in the Goldfield district
Workings of the Red Hill Florence
company have nowhere extended to
the boundary line and all the work
in raises and in main drifts on the
500-fOot level is at least 60 feet
from the boundary and working to
the westward, back into the com
pany's ground.
A short distance east of the com
pany's workings ore of exceedingly
high grade has been exposed lately
by lessees on the Florence, work
ing in the territory embraced in
the old Roger-Syndicate lease.
