JUMBO EXTENSION COMPANY
PURCHASES EQUIPMENT
FOR COPPER NINE

The Copper Mountain mines, re-
Gently taken over by option by the
Jumbo Extension company, are
showing considerable activity. A
permanent camp has been establish
ed and development is being prose-
cuted in the sinking of the shaft
with the employment of two shafts.
The shaft is now down to a
depth of 20 feet and the hanging
wall OF the vein is being followed.
1t is expected that the contact will
be reached within short distance.
In order to facilitate the work Man
aging Engineer J. X. Turner is
making ready to install hosting
plant. A three-drill compressor will
also be erected at the seat of oper-
ations.
The Jumbo Extension company
Is already maintaining good pro-
duction from the Copper Mountain
property, three sets of leasers
breaking ore of a good grade. This
in addition to the production being
made by the controlling company,
which will be steadily increased as
development continues.
The Copper Mountain property is
situated in Mineral county, Is miles
frcm Nolan station on the South
ern Pacific railroad, in the Rand
district. 1t was a producer of note
~
present plans carried to a success
fuI termination, the outlook is GER
tainly bright for a heavy production
ultimately being made.
The buildings now in course of
construction were purchased at
Rawhide and moved to the Copper
Mountain mines, and everything
about the place shows that camp
of permanency is being established.

ATLANTA FURNISHES SENSATION
With -FOUR FEET OF RICH ORE

The last 25 feet of the 1882 drift
has shown a gradual increase in
value from ore worth $23.15 per ton
to ore worth s51.30 per ton, while
the full width of six feet of ore ex-
posed at the present time shows
values of $3.50 per ton.
Another encouraging feature of
this development is the increased
content of gold in the ore, sam
pie from a six-inch streak on the
hanging wall of the vein having Civ
en- assay returns of $91 per ton,
mostly gold.
The greatest value of the Atlanta
mine, however, is due to the in
creased value of copper and silver
and the facilities for treatment of
the ore without shipment to the
smelters, as an arrangement has
been made whereby the ore will be
milled at the flotation plant of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany, which will be in operation
within a very short time.
II Will Dc tudt
very large tonnage of milling
grade ore had been developed before
the advanced price of copper and
silver, which has increased in value
with the higher prices of the metals,
and while the ore has not been
blocked out sufficiently to give fig
ures in regard to the exact tonnage
now developed it might be we'll to
state that very large portion of
a block of ground, $50 feet in height
and 375 feet in length, will produce
ore of a value of from SIS to $40
per ton. Therefore it may be ex-
pected that the Atlanta will make a
very substantial production in the
near future.
1t is anticipated by Manager
Darcy that he will be in a position
to consign not less than 100 tons
daily to the mill as soon as the

150-foot down to the 300-foot level.
The ore has invariably been of a
high grade and has perhaps brought
an average mill value of $50 ton.
The new find was made to the
east of the former ore shoot, fault
having occurred in the vein at the
300-foot level. However, the shaft
was continued to a depth of 345
feet, when drifting was started east
with a view of intersecting the vein
system which was showing strong
dip in that direction in the 3O0-foOt
level Mr.. Dunfee states that he Is
not absolutely certain whether the
new vein is a continuation of the
old one, or whether he has uncov
cred something entirely new.
Shipments from the new discovery
will be started during the coming
week. The product will be hauled
to Stonewall, distance of 16 miles,
and from there transported by rail
to the big Belmont mill at Millers.
Mr.. Dunfee says that for the pres
ent ore extraction will be limited to
work in the drifts, principally on the
345-foot level, but that early spring
will witness enlarged development
with a view of maintaining an in
creased output until the maximum
capacity of the mine has been
reached.

RED HILL FLORENCE COMPANY
INSTALLING NECESSARY
EQUIPMENT

Plans have been formulated for a
comprehensive campaign of develop
ment which will be undertaken by
the Red Hill Florence Mining COM
pany, which is reorganization of
the Red Hill Mining company and
the Florence American (formerly
Florence Extension) Mining com
pany.
The manager of the Red Hill Flor
ence company, II. G. Mcmahon, has
engaged the services of Peter Nc
Gill, until now a shift boss for the
Goldfield consolidated Mines COM
pany, who will serve in the capacity
of foreman for the Red Hill Flor
ence company.
Steps will be taken Immediately
for the installation of needed equip
ment, a SO horsepower drum cleo
trio hoist having already been pur-
chased Extensive development
will follow the preliminary work
which has been decided upon, such
as retimbering the shaft to the 500
foot level, and the installation of a
new head-frame.
1t was stated Friday morning that
arrangements had been made where

GREAT BEND IN
PHYSICAL FORM
NEW ORE BODY OF GREAT PRO-
MISE EXPOSED ON $50
FOOT LEVEL

The Great Bend continues to
furnish surprises of interest to min
ing men in general, and to those
interested in the company in parti-
cuiar. During the past week an
orebody four feet wide has put
in it's appearance and tests made
upon numerous samples show aver
age values of $40 ton.
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner
and Superintendent Jack Campbell
believe that they are now penetrat-
ing a mineral zone of great richness
and to that end are bending their
energies to thoroughly exploit the
territory in question.
Shipments have already been
started from the 260-foot level,
and if the showing continues to
improve as rapidly during the next
few days as it has in the past,
then it is anticipated that the tom
mage will be more than doubled.
The many workings where de-
velopment is now being centered
are showing splendid physical
form. Large veins of milling ore
are being blocked preparatory to
inaugurating shipments. The pro-
duct will eventually be consigned
to a small mill now on the pre-.
misses which will in all probability
be remodeled to insure the most
economical treatment.

A new and important mineral
find has been made on the Jumbo

immediate vicinity of Goldfield.
The discovery was made on the
8SO-foot level and it is stated Off
cially that big body of gold, sii
yer and copper ore has been expos

as high as $40 ton.
Engineer in Charge j. X. Turner
stated Monday that enough ore
was now being broken from the
territory in question to meet oper-
ating expenses as development is
carried forward
Shipments will be started in the
immediate future and it is hoped
to gradually increase the output.
A force of men is being employed

GOOD WORK OF THE BOY SCOUTS

Reference has heretofore been
made to the splendid work done by
the Boy Scouts Of America In promot-
ing the sale of the first issue of Liber-
ty Loan Bonds. Though possibly many
other subscriptions were indirectly in
duced by their efforts, 1t has been
carefully figured out that subscrip-
tons aggresating some $4,000, 900
were taken In by the Boy Scouts, rep
resenting 1890 individual subscrib-
ers.
Seven thousand SIX hundred and
eighty-six Boy Scouts Of America
earned the war-service emblem by
selling 10 or more Liberty Loan Bonds
and will receive in time the badges of
honor.
The Boy Scout holding the highest
record for bonds sold is Fred Shelton,
S24 Liberty Loan Bonds, aggregating
SEA, $50. He Is farmer boy, and
obtained subscriptions for the bonds
in the neiEhborhood of his home.
The patriotism and efficiency Of the
Boy Scouts will be utilized to the
greatest extent possible in the Second
Liberty Loan campaign. 1t is an in
spring thing to see the boys Of Amert-
ca actuated by great national feel
| ing rendering great national service
They are the citizens of tomorrow, and
| their tomorrow must see the world
| safe for democracy. In aiding the
sale of Liberty Loan Bonds they are
performing their part to that great
| end.

ToRAY's ANNIVERSARIES.

This day might be said to be the
birthday of the English peerage, for
the first neble Of this class was Great
ed in England s61 years ago today.
The recipient Of this honor was will
liam Fitz-Osborne, who was made
Earl of Hereford by William l. Other
titles conferred soon afterward were
Earl of Salisbury, Waiter d'Evreux;
Earl of Derby, Henry de Ferrers;
Earl of Northumberland, Copsi, and
Earl of Chester, Gerodus. Twenty
two other peers were created during
the reign of this sovereign. The first
peer created by patent was Lord Beau
champ Of Helt Castle, by Richard H.,
in 1887. The first peer In Scotland
was the Earl of Angus, the title con-
ferred on ailehrist by Malcolm III. in
1897. In Ireland the first peer
created after the obtaining of that
kingdom by Henry II. was John de
Courcy as Baron Of Kinsale. The
peers ef England were first summoned
to consult with their >soreraisn by
royal writ In 1905. In the early days
titles were usually conferred only for
successes in warfare and statesman
ship, but OF late years numerous lit
terary and scientific nen have beer
elevated to the peerage.

Katherine Theot was born In 1875
at Garaton, q village in thed iocese
Of Avaranehes, France. She went to
Paris when still a very young girl to
find means Of livelihood, and lived
in mental capacity in several places,
the last of which was a convent,
which she left in ITS, after she had
discovered that she possessed the gift
of seeing visions and OF prophecy. From
that time she published openly her
reveries, calling herself sometimes a
second Eve, sometimes the Mother of
God and at last a Messiah who was to
degenerate the human race. Her
pretensions attracted the attention of
the police, and she was confined in
the Bastile, but at the end Of five
weeks was transferred to the hospital
of salpstrasre. where she remained
until 1882. In 1874, having made
convert Of Dom Ger1e, a priest, and
member of the constituent assem- bly,
a man of learning and merit, but
whose mind had been affected by his
austerities and solitary life. she again
openly proclaimed herself the Mother
Of God, and promised eternal life to
herN adherents. Her followers be-
came very numerous and even extend

them the homage due only God and
her revelations were regarded as d.
