CRACKER JACK
DEVELOPMENT
WORKINGS PRACTICALLY RE-
LIEVED OF WATER DOWN
TO LOWER LEVEL

The Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany has development we'll under
way and good progress will hence
forth result in the prosecution of
the campaign of development that
has been outlined.
General Manager H. G. Mcmahon
stated that the workings would be
cleared of water before the end
of the present week, at which time
exploration will be undertaken on
the 32O-foot level. Installation of
powerful pump was COM
pleted several days ago, since
which time the water that flooded
the workings at the time the two
other pumps were lost, has been
rapidly lifted from the levels.
The Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany is one of the most meritorious
propositions in the Goldfield dis
trict. In view of the fact that the
company has been thoroughly fl
nanced and that funds are avail
able to insure the carrying of all
plans to successful termination,
it would prove no surprise to learn
at any time that discoveries of an
important nature had been made.
With preliminary work, as out
of Manager Mcmahon to enlarge
the scope of operations which will
mean that eventually the working
force will be largely increased.
1t is proposed to extend the east
crosscut on the 320-foot level with
a view of penetrating the main
Columbia mountain fault vein, in
which large bodies of low-grade
mill ore have been exposed in the
upper workings. Following the
breaking of $50 feet of ground in
Sandstorm rhyolite, small streaks
of mineralized quartz have been
putting in their appearance. Mill
ore of a fair grade has been proven
to extend to surface, or $50 feet
on the incline.
On the 320-foot level it is anti
cipated that the heading will short
ly interesect the vein, and if indi-
cations are to count for aught then
an important discovery will surely
result.
Had not the accident to the
pumps occurred there might be
different story to tell at this writ
ing. Suffice to say that the COM
pany is properly managed.

GREAT BEND HAS
BIG RESERVES
DRIFT IS SHOWING SOLID
BODY OF ORE

Big results are being attain I'd at
the Great Bend property. and the
outlook for increased production
is splendid. The driving of a long
drift on the 160-foot level is pro-
crossing most satisfactory and the
face of the heading shows big
body of ore that carries average
values of $40 a ton.
The heading of the drift has en-
tered the oxidized zone and a de-
cided improvement is taking place
with the firing of each round of
holes. 1t is now believed that
discovery of great Importance is
putting in its appearance and to
that end the development is being
crowded.
During the past week change
has taken place regarding the man
agement of this mineral estate
Jack Campbell, who has held the
position of mine superintendent,
rendered his resignation, and J. j.
Jordan, formerly superintendent of
the Blue Bull property, was ap-
pointed to the vacancy. In the Sc
lection of Mr. Jordan to the res
pcnsible position, Consulting En-
gineer j. K Turner secured a man
who is well qualified to carry on
the work that has been outlined.
and there is every assurance that
the production from this big lit
tie mine will be greatly augmented
during the next few weeks.
Shipments of ore that have been
made during the past few weeks
have contained average values of
$21 ton in gold and silver, the
last control showing the usual
values.
Large reserves of mill ore have
been blocked on this property in
the various workings and arrange
whereby the mill that stands on the
estate will shortly be remodeled
to insure economical treatment
New discoveries are being re-
ported from this property quite
frequently and it would be no sur
prise to learn at any time that one
of the biggest producers of the
Goldfield district had been develop
ed. The success that is attending
the efforts of the management of
this mineral estate is to be COM
mended.

JUMBO JUNIOR
HAS RICH ORE
FIND MADE A WEEK AGO RE-
MAINS INTACT AND
GROWS RICHER

The strike made last week on the
Jumbo Junior property is proving
of great merit, and the showing is
better today than at any time since
the ore was encountered.
Since the mineral find was made
the raise has been carried to a
height of 40 feet, and the shoot is
still showing to a width of better
thar three feet. While no ship
mehts have been made, grab as
says show values varying from SO
to Sf91 a ton in gold and silver.
A considerable quantity of ore is
now being sent to the ore house,
and it is quite probable that there
will be shipped to the Western Ore
Purchasing company during the
next few days an allotment of one
with a view of determining the ac-
tual metallic contents.
Tb, company controls 23O feet
on tlrr vein before the endlines Will
he reached. The ground in qies-
ton is better known as the Jumbo
70 surpass anything ever found in
the Jumbo Extension workings, one
of the greatest mines ever develop
ed in the Goldfield district.
This discovery, which was made
on the S8O-foot level, should result
in a heavy production being made
in the near future. There is vast
ARIA of virgin territory overhead,
and if the ore shoot proves con-
tinuous, as is now thoroughly pre-
dicted by mining engineers, then
the future of the Jumbo Junior is
assured
The ore in the Jumbo Junior is
showing in two places. Where first
encountered the vein has a width
of two feet. Another raise was
started so feet to the west of the
original discovery, and after break
Ing few feet of ground three feet
of solid ore was uncovered that
shows assay values of better than
500 ton. A marked improve
ment is taking place with the fir
ing of each round of holes and in
dications could not be brighter for
record breaking production being
made in the immediate future.
j. X. Turner, consulting engineer
for the company, is highly pleased
over the results that have been
forthcoming.

GREAT HEADWAY
IS BEING MADE
RED HILL FLORENCE COMPANY
REPAIRS SHAFT AT
RAPID RATE

One of the most energetic cam
paigns of mine building that has
been waged in a long period in the
Goldfield district. must be credit
ed to the Red Hill Florence Min
ing company. Since operations
we're started three months ago
there has been steady development
going forward with the result that
the property is being repaired as
rapidly as possible, the ultimate
result of which means that a pros
pect of great merit will shortly be
receiving the attention that it so
richly deserves.
Retimbering of the double-com-
partment shaft has progressed
down to the 530-foot level, but ow-
ing to the fact that the ground be-
low the 500-foot and 560-foot
points is dangerous, it has been
determined to find solid formation,
and then erect bearing timbers to
hold up the rock and muck.
Following the completion of this
work it is the intention of the man
agement to proceed with develop
ment on the 50O-foot level, where
splendid showing of ore is in
evidence. Drifting will be prose-
cuted vigorously with a view of
proving up the territory controlled.
The double-compartment shaft on
the Red Hill Florence has total
depth of 500 feet, and timbers are
now on the ground which will per-
nit of the repairs being made down
to the lowest level. The mine
shows great activity and inasmuch
as funds have been provided to
insure the carrying of all plans to
a successful termination the peo-
pie interested in the proposition
may expect fair run for their in
vestment.
Manager H. G. Mcmahon stated
this week that construction of
foundations for the new hoist would
be undertaken Immediately, while
it has also been decided to install
new gallas frame to facilitate the
work of development that has been
outlined.
With preliminary plans completed
it should not be great while un-
Ill the Red Hill Florence should
take it's place among the substan-
tial producers of the Goldfield dis
trict.

RICH FIND MADE
ON JUMBO EX.
PICTURE VALUES IN GROUND
LEASED TO GOLDFIELD
CONSOLIDATED

One of the greatest strikes re-
corded in months in the Godfield
district is to be credited to the
Jumbo Extension Mining company.
While the discovery was made by
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, it was nevertheless made
on Jumbo Extension ground
small streak OF exceptionally
high grade ore is exposed and tests
made during the past week show
values running as high as $4,000
a ton in gold. To be sure these
are picked samples, but it is never
theless a fact that the entire face
Of the drift is pay mineral and ex-
cellent results should be forthcom-
ing from the marketing of the pro-
duct.
The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company secured a lease from the
Jumbo Extension Mining company
on block of ground having "a
length of $50 feet and a width of
1873 feet. The territory in ques-
tloH SluellneS the ClermOnt and en-
braces ground where the Clermont
and Jumbo Extension workings
connect. The Goldfield Consolida-
ted Mines company secured a lease
on the property for the express
purpose of securing an available
supply of low grade ore to insure
the operation of the flotation plant
to it's full capacity. There is an
enormous amount of low-grade ore
in the workings and from this
source it is hoped to secure a heavy
tonnage of mineral that will be
consigned to the flotation plant.
Consulting Engineer j. X. Tur-
ner of the Jumbo Extension Min
ing company states that operations
on company account are being pro-
secuted on the 790-foot level and
that highly satisfactory showing
is taking place. The raise being
carried from this level will even
tually catch the downward extern
sion of the rich oreshoot encount-
cred in the upper workings of the
property.

COPPER MINES
IN RICH ORE
JUMBO EX. COMPANY MAKES
SPLENDID EARNING FROM
LEASED PROPERTY

A most important discovery has
just been made at the Copper Noun
tain mines, which are being operat-
ed under favorable leasing and op-
tion terms by the Jumbo Extension
Mining company. In the drift that
is being extended from the 50-foot
level of shaft No. 2, body of smelt-
ing ore having a width of from two
and one-half to three feet has been
uncovered that shows average val
ues of from to 1G per cent cop
per.
The ore shoot has been exposed for
some distance, and as ground is
opened it is found that very decid-
ed improvement for the better is
taking place. This property is de-
veloping into one of the big ship
pers of Mineral county.
In shaft No. 1, which has a depth
of 80 feet, crosscutting has been
started from the 70-foot level, but
as yet the contact has not been
reached. 1t is anticipated, however,
that something important will de-
velop during the course of the next
few days, and to that end work is be-
ing rushed with a view of thorough
ly exploiting the ground.
Miller e LaPatte, who are leasing
below shaft No. l, are still maintain
ing shipments of excellent grade ore,
and a handsome earning is result
ing. These lessees are marketing
from three to four carloads of ore
each week, and returns of from 10
to II per cent copper are being re-
ceived in settlement. Mining engi-
neers who have examined the work
ings state that there is exposed no
less than s15O,OO0 in the ground
controlled by the operators afore-
mentioned.
The crosscut being extended by
the company from shaft No. l will
undercut the Miller & LaPatte work
ipgs a good depth, and in the event
that the ore shoot is found to be
persistent, then it is assured that
heavy earning will follow from de-
velopment that is being prosecuted
on company account.

Der of workings.
In one block of ground it is stat

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDFIELD District

The past week has furnished
many surprises in mining way to
the people of Goldfield. Many i'm
portant discoveries have been rec
orded, and it would seem that the
coming summer is going to be one
of the most prosperous that the
people of this section have enjoy
ed in a long period.
Many important mining deals are
reported as pending, but the time
is not ripe to announce particulars
concerning the transactions. The
discoveries that have been made on
the Jumbo Junior and Jumbo Ex-
tension mines are of more than
passing interest and only go to
show that this district-the rich
est in the worlds yet only in it's
infancy regarding past and future
production.
The whole country within a rad
ius of 40 miles is showing great
activity, but the fact remains that
there is only one Goldfield and that
the banner camp of Nevada will be
heard from in no uncertain terms
during the next few months.
Jumbo Extension
The strike made during the past
week on the Jumbo Extension mine
has had a tendency to stimulate
matters generally. While the dis
covery was really made by the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company,
the ore was actually found on Jum-
DO Extension property, the last
named company having granted
lease on $50 feet of ground at a
point where the Clermont and Jum-
bo Extension properties connect.
Operations are being prosecuted on
the 710-foot level, and picked sam
pies of ore show values running as
high as 40 ounces gold, or $4,000
ton. However, the main orebody
only carries small values, and the
product is to be consigned to the
flotation plant of the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company.
Jumbo Junior
The find made two weeks ago on
the Jumbo Junior property is still
holding it's own and shipments on
large scale will shortly be in or
der. This discovery was made on

ings. Mineralized values are show
ing in the vein matter and 1. is
expected that an important discov-
cry will shortly be made.
Much interest attaches to the
work that is now being performed
by reason of the fact that it is eX-
pected to prove within a compar-
atively short time where the Colum-
bia mountain fault to the west will
contain shipping values.

level, with the result that the ore
vein has again been located, and
indications at this writing are that
a discovery of Importance and mag
nitude has been made.
The Empress property has been
receiving we'll directed attention for
a period of two years by the Nevada
Cooperative company. 1t is one of
the acknowledged big low grade
gold propositions of the Gold noun
tain region, or this section of the
state, so far as that is concerned,
and enormous reserves of mill ore
have been blocked.
With the worth of the mine prov
en- it is now the intention Of the
management to shortly start work
on the remodeling of the mill To-
Gated near the portal of what is
known as the mill level. This plant
ago, but was not built along
lines that would insure the highest
possible saving of values as is now
practiced by metallurgists. 1t is
proposed to install the latest and
most up-to-the-minute equipment
that will bring about an economical
treatment, and at the same time
effect the highest saving of values
possible, and will be constructed
entirely along lines suitable to En-
press ore.
