Ore of excellent grade has been
exposed in sinking the incline shaft
of the Butte Goldfeld Mining COM
pany, in the Gold Mountain mining
district, 38 miles south of Goldfield.
l.. l.. Patrick, who is at the head
of the company, has returned from
a trip to the mine, bringing sam
pies that yield high assays in gold,
silver and lead. The shaft has been
following down the foot-wall OF the
vein, at an incline of about 80 de-
grees and the new discovery came
as a surprise, as elsewhere the ore
has usually appeared near the CEN
ter of the vein.
Plans had been decided upon for
cross-cutting the vein at depth or
100 feet. but at a depth OF 81
feet large punches of good ore ap-
peared, average samples of this ma
terial yielding assays of $67 per ton
the content being about $40 gold,
2O.9 ounces silver and 1913 per cent
lead. In addition to this the shaft
has broken two and a half feet of
solid ore assaying SIG per ton in
the same metals.
This discovery has resulted in
modification of development plans
and sinking will continue for
short distance farther, in order to
determine the extent of ore de-

ReOrganized Kewanas
A drift is now being advanced to
the south, following course near
the hanging wall of the great vein in
the southern part of the Kewanas
property and at a depth of $40 feet.
The long cross-cut, which has been
progressing in vein matter for long
distance, is being continued to the
southeast to prospect the hanging
wall country and determine the rela-
tion of the vein to the country rock
beyond. Many seams of good ore
have been cut in the progress of
this work and the character of for

highly favorable for the presence of
orebodies of good size and value
Work in the northern part of the
property has exposed large quanti-
ties of excellent flotatiOn ore, to-
gether with some of shipping grade.
Red Hill Florence
Ore of commercial grade is now
showing at several points in the
workings on and above the 500-fOOt

the possibilities of opening. in the
eastern part of the property, the

posed lately in lease workings on
the adjoining Florence property and

said to be breaking some of the rich

CRACKER JACK
NEARING LODE
CROSS-CUT NOW ENTERING VEIN
THAT PRODUCED GOOI
ASSAYS

Development work on the Reor-
ganized Cracker Jack company's s
property is progressing along es-
tablished lines and the character
of the formation now showing in
the east cross-cut on the main 23O-
foot level indicates that the drills
are about to penetrate the Rabbit
Trail vein, for which the crOss-cut
has been extended a considerable
distance beyond the main Columbia
Mountain fault vein. The work has
been progressing in hard andesite,
but is now in a greatly fractured
zone, showing an increasing de-
gree of silicification.
From all indications at the sur
face, the point has been reached
where this vein should be cut, and
it is said chat blasting at the face
of the cross-cut can now be heard
by a person standing at the apex
of the vein, on the eastern part of
the Cracker Jack ground. Veins
of this character will, it is said by
miners, carry sound for long dis
tance and the men employed in the
mine are now convinced that they
are now nearing the vein, in which
good ore was found nearer the sur
face Drifts and raises will be
driven to explore this vein in a
thorough manner and from this
point the work of development will
later be extended into the adjoin-
ing ground of the General Washing
ton Development company.
Drifts extended to the south at
two points in the great Columbia
Mountain fault vein, farther to the
west, exposed quantities of low and
medium grade ore, carrying gold.
silver, copper and zinc. Seams OF
higher grade material were also
found in this work and all indica-
tions give promise of finding i'm
portant deposits with further ex-
ploration in this big vein.
At the point where the cross-cut
penetrated this vein a fault was
revealed, the influence of which
upon the vein has not been deter
mined to the satisfaction of the
management Apparently the dis
placement is vertical. throwing the
lower part of the vein upward in
such a manner as to form a step
fault. This theory is supported by
the fact that the cross-cut seems TO
have passed through the hanging
wall at two points. after traversing
a zone of crushed and brecciated
material, apparently marking the
fault plane itself.
This vein, farther to the SOUTH
forms the main ore-channel OF the
Goldfield district and as in the
southern region the rich orebodies
have been found in close relation to
faulted zones, the presence of this
fault in the Cracker Jack is re-
garded as a favorable sign.

CONSOLIDATED Mines COMPANY'S
REPORT FOR AUGUST is ISSUED

suits are said to be most encourag-
ing.
Results of leasing operations on
the various properties of the Con-
solidated company have been graft
flying and an increasing demand for
blocks of promising ground has been
made manifest by the number of
applications for leases. These are
operated on the split-check system,
the company supplying hosting ia
cilities, compressed air for the ma
chine drills and the necessary min
ing tools, while the lessees furnish
the labor and receive one-half the
value of their production, less a
charge made for treatment of the
ore.
grade has been produced by these
leases and it is pointed out that a
lessee can make good money in ex-
tracing seams of rich ore where
such operations will not yield a pro-
fit to the companies owning the
ground, owing to the heavy over
head expense and the necessity for
handling a large tonnage under
company operation. Out of their
share of ore mined in this manner
the owning companies are enabled
to realize better profits by the leas-
ing system than by continuing to
break ore from narrow seams and
deposits of limited volume.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

New work on the 500-fOot level

strike assaying from $40 to over
500 per ton. 1t is reported that
the full face of drift on this level
is showing ore of high grade. The
