The Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany, which is prosecuting one of
the best directed campaigns of de-
velopment in Mineral county, con-
trolling the Copper Mountain mines,
is meeting with great success so far
as ore production is concerned.
There are four sets of leasers at
work and each is maintaining a
steady production of ore far better
than the average grade. Miller &
La Pate, controlling ground above
the 70-foot level, are stopping on a
body of ore that has width of
three feet and settlement is being
effected at an average rate of II
per cent copper.
Shaft No. l has depth of So feet
and crosscutting is now in order to
undercut the Miller & LaPatte
ground. When the objective is
reached the heading will cut under
those workings at an increased
depth of 80 feet and it is generally
anticipated that a discovery of i'm
portance will eventually be made.
Shaft No. has attained a depth
cf so feet. Considerable ore has
been putting in it's appearance dur
ing the Iasl few days. While no ef-
fort is being made to save ore, it
Will now only he a matter of short

The Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany was certainly fortunate in Sc
curing the Copper Mountain mines.
Since the day that development was
inaugurated steady production has
been in order, and the numerous

TOKOP DISTRICT
RECEIVES ATTENTION

Much interest is now centering
around Tokop and mining men from
all sections have been doing con-
siderable investigating of late weeks.
j. Fl. Vernon, who controls a group
of claims, upon which he has been
prosecuting development for the last
several months, was a visitor to
Goldfield the first of the week. He
states that up to date there has been
expended $4,000 in development upon
the Tokop group and that the show
ing is of a highly satisfactory nature.
In the shaft workings that have a
depth of 55 feet, there is exposed
a big body of mill ore that can be
profitably handled once facilities
have been provided to insure success
full treatment.
Mr.. Vernon also controls the
Goldcrest group of IA lode mining
claims upon which a considerable
amount OF exploration has been per-
formed. This property is credited
with production of $4,000. al
though development has been of a
superficial nature.
Tokop is situated six miles from
Hornsilver and is recognized as one
of the rich mineral fields of Esmeral-
da county. Many prospectors have
visited the district during the past
few weeks and indications would
cause one to believe that there will
be something stirring in that neck
of the woods during the coming
summer.

WILL PURCHASE
new EQUIPMENT
TO LOS ANGELES FOR
NEW SINKER

Operations are still at a stand
still at the Cracker Jack property,
due to the loss of the pumps last
week Manager H. G. Mcmahon left
on Tuesday for Los Angeles, where
he will make purchase of a new
Saturday the equipment will arrive,
No delay will be occasioned in in
stalling the machinery and it is
hoped to have matters adjusted to
permit of development going for
ward early the coming week.
The water in the shaft has raised
to the 20O-foot level, or 100 feet
above the point where the two
pumps were lost a week ago. 1t
is not believed that it will raise
over 100 additional feet before the
new sinker arrives and has been
placed in position.
The Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany is heavily financed and suffi-
cient funds are on hand to insure
the carrying out of a systematic
campaign of development. Had not
the accident occurred that is now
resulting in the property being tenn
porarily closed down, the working
force would have been gradually
added to with view of placing the
workings in condition to permit of
ore extraction.

larged In the meantime two shifts
of miners are being employed and
progress in sinking is resulting at
the average of two feet each day.
The installation of machine drills
has greatly facilitated the work,
and the airline connection with the
Velvet shaft of the Jumbo Extension
company is working perfectly and
rendering efficient service.
The Grandma Mining company is
prosecuting one of the most active
campaigns of exploration to be
found in the Goldfeld district. The
company has been financed in a
substantial manner and funds are
available to insure continued devel-
opment

but this fault is now being remedied
by the construction of a mill, upon
which work was recently started.
Upon the completion of this milling
plant, which is scheduled for about
May 1, effort for a steady produc-
tion will be made.
The Grand Central Gold Mines
company is Incorporated under the
laws of Wyoming with a capitaliza-
tion of $1,000,000, shares having a
par value of 81 each. The fact that
the company controls in fee simple
a mineral estate of proven richness,
and the additional fact that Tim
Connolly, one of the best known and
most successful operators of the
Goldfield district, is interested and
will direct the management of the
concern, is sufficient reason why the
public should look with deep favor
on the proposition.
Hornsilver is situated % miles
southwest of Goldfeld and lies 16
miles from Stonewall, siding on the
Las Vegas and Tonopah railroad
Arrangements for an adequate water
supply have been made with the
Goldfeld Consolidated Water COM
pany, and pipes will be laid for a
distance of eight and one-half miles,
installation to be started imme-
diately. Thus will water be sup
piled for the operation of the mill
at a minimum of cost.
The Grand Central property has
been equipped with 15-horsepower
gallas-hoist and all necessary tools.
The shafts are thoroughly timbered
and are in condition to permit of
large development being carried for
ward.
Hornsilver is going to be heard
from during the coming months,
and in no uncertain way. Many
operators familiar with the topo-
graphical conditions predict that a
new camp is going to spring into
existence. What will help one sec
tion of the county will be of mate
rial benefit to Goldfield, the center
of the richest mining field in the
known world.

Conditions continue to improve
in the Goldfield district and while
no sensational finds have been re-
corded during the past week, it is
nevertheless a fact that a steady
production is being maintained with
every prospect that the output will
be increased from this time for
ward.
Mining men are giving consider
able attention of late to the Horn
silver district, located % miles
southwest of Goldfield, and the pre-
diction is freely made that the COM
ing summer will witness much
activity in that locality.
There has been a strong demand
for property in this immediate vicin-
ity and numerous investors have
been arriving in camp of late. The
hotels are enjoying lucrative busi-
ness, but the next few weeks prom
Use to witness much greater pros
perity.
Florence Mine
The throwing open to lease of
ground on the Florence mine down
to the 60O-foot level has had a
tendency to improve conditions.
The IA sets of leasers now at work
will eventually result in a hand
some production being made. All
interested parties have development
we'll under way and while shipments
have not yet been started the pros
poets are bright for a production
shortly being in order. The fact,
too, that the Red King vein has
been taken over by the Red Hill
Florence company augurs we'll for
that immediate locality. Develop
ment will be prosecuted through the
Red Hill Florence shaft down to a
depth of $50 feet and conditions are
favorable for good production
eventually being made.
Jumbo Extension
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain mines in Mineral county, op-
Grated under favorable option terms
by the Jumbo Extension Mining
company, are of a most encouraging
nature. Four sets of leasers are at
work, and in every instance a good
production of good-grade copper
ore is being maintained. The main
shaft has now attained a depth Of
so feet and stringers of ore have
been putting in their appearance,
resulting in quite saving in min
eral. Shaft No. / has attained a

has been started to undercut the
oreshoot of Miller & LaPatte. The
vein will be reached at a depth of
approximately 100 feet.
Grandma Mine
Oxidized stringers of good-looking
ore have been putting in their ap-
pearance at this well known prop
erty the past week. The shaft had
attained depth on Tuesday of 262
feet. Machine drills are now in
operation and progress in sinking is
resulting at an average of two feet
each day Power is being secured
from the plant at the Velvet shaft
of the Jumbo Extension Mining
company. 1t is anticipated that an
important discovery will be made
on this property during the course
of a short time.
Cracker Jack Mine
Manager III. G. Mcmahon was
compelled to leave for Los Angeles
the first of the week to place an
order for a new sinker, which will
be utilized in handling the water
that has filled the workings of the
mine up to the 200foot level. 1t
is expected that he will return by
not later than Sunday and bring the
machinery with him. No time will

place is considered most remark
able. Previous to securing a new
drill, the size being reduced from
six to four inches, it seemed almost
impossible to explore the ground
in question with any degree of
satisfaction, although on occasions
fine progress resulted.
With the six-inch drill the core
was lowered as little as two or three
inches on some shifts, while since
providing the four-inch drill the
smallest progress reported in a
days work has been six feet, while
the average has probably been
nearly seven feet.
The change in drill equipment
has resulted in less power being
consumed, the capacity of the
Jumbo Extension compressor having
previously been taxed to the limit,
although other development was
being carried forward vigorously
throughout the mine workings.
There has been no change in the
character of the rock formation, but
it is expected the shale contact will
shortly be reached. Shipments OF
better than average grade ore are
still going out and returns of $50 a
ton in gold and silver are being
realized. This production will be
continued until the many old pillars
of ore left standing during the early
history of operations have been
broken. In the meantime a sys-
tematic campaign of exploration is
being prosecuted on number of
levels, with prospects bright for
something important in a mineral
way being uncovered in the not far
distant future.

GREAT BEND
SHIPS HEAVILY
STEADY SHIPMENTS BEING MAIN
TANNED FROM WE'LL
KNOWN NINE

Wonderful results are being OBJ
tanned from the development that is
being carried forward on the
Great Bend property. Shipments
of ore are being made regularly and
an average of five carloads of a $40
product are being consigned month
ly to the smelter at Salt Lake.
The ore being mined is taken
from the 260 foot level.
While no material change has taken
place during the past week, the
showing is fully up to expectations,
with every reason for believing thu
something big will develop during
the next few days.
Operations that are being prose-
cuted on the 260-foot level are re-
sulting in new discoveries, and while
no high grade ore is showing the
outlook is promising for an import
ant find being made shortly.
The truth of the matter regarding
the Great Bend properties lies
in the fact that a steady production
is resulting at all times. Effort
is now DelnS maze TO increase the
output Large veins of milling ore
are being blocked. This material
will eventually be consigned to a
small mill now on the estate, which
will eventually be remodeled to in
sure economical treatment
On the 260-foot level body of
ore having a width of four feet Is
exposed, and shipments that have
beer made OF late weeks show the
metal contents to be close to $40 a
ton. The mineral zone covers a ter
ritcry G. proven richness. and it will
prove no surprise if the output from
the mineis gradually increased un-
til substantial and regular dividends
VII be forthcoming.

GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED
CONTINUES SUCCESSFULLY

The various leasers on this prop
erty continue to prosecute develop
ment that is proving quite salts
factory, and the regular production
from the mine is being maintained.
There are over twelve sets of leas-
ers at work on the various parts of
the estate and the outlook is bright
for the output being augmented
from this time forward. The an
nual report of this company will be
issued during the course of the next
few days.

KEWANAS SHOWS
STRONG IN ORE
SEVERAL IMPORTANT . FINDS
NOW PUTTING IN THEIR
APPEARANCE

Active development of most
satisfactory character has been in
progress at the Kewanas property.
and although little has been said
of late concerning this mineral
estate, the results have been most
gratifying.
For the past two weeks cross
cutting has been in order on the
vein from the top of the 91SB raise.
The first II feet gave average
values of $3.50 a ton in gold. sill
yer and copper. The last two and
one-half feet gave assay returns of
$66 a ton. at whi Il point the hang
ing-wall was encountered
Drifting was then started to the
south, the hangingwall being fol-
lowed, the ground having been ex-
plored for distance of Is feet The
values in this drift vary from S34
to $107 a ton in gold. silver and
copper.
Above the south drift a stope has
been started and at the present time
there has been saved about 80 tons
of ore that is expected to bring a
settlement averaging close to $40 a
ton.
Manager A. I. Darcy stated
Thursday that all the faces OF the
present development are showing
well in ore, and that it is antici-
pated that the workings of the mine
will shortly be in condition to per-
nit of substantial production
being maintained.
The Kewanas is one mine that
has been undergoing systematic ex-
ploration for a long time past, and
the fact that little has been men
toned in the papers concerning the
property lays in the fact that moth
ing out of the ordinary has taken
place, although the Improvement
has been quite noticeable during
the past few days.

be lost in installing the equipment
and it is hoped to have working
conditions normal inside of another
ten days.
Red Hill Florence
Three shifts of men are en-
ployed at this property and the task
of retimbering the dOuble-compart-
ment shaft is progressing quite
satisfactory. The repairs have been
completed down to the 250-foot
point, but no real mine development
will be undertaken previous to that
time when the SO0-foot level has
been reached.
Grand Central Company
The Grand Central Gold Mines
company is the name of a new COM
pany that will operate at Horn
silver. Tim Donnolly, who is we'll
and favorably known to Goldfield
people, having served as manager of
the Frances Mohawk Mining and
Leasing company, is in charge of
operations, and is making ready to
inaugurate an extensive campaign
of development. A mill is to be
constructed this summer and it is
hoped to begin ore treatment by not
later than May 1.

JUMBO JUNIOR BEING
ACTIVELY DEVELOPED

No new developments were re-

development is being prosecuted
with vigor. Operations are still
being centered on the S80-foot level,
from that level, and within short
tive the north portion Of the main

RED HILL FLORENCE COMPANY
PLANS EXTENSIVE OPER-
ATIONS

Systematic development is in prog
ress at the property of the Red Hill
Florence Mining company. Three
shifts of men are at work in the
retimbering of the double-compart-
ment shaft, which has a depth of
500 feet.
This shaft has been repaired below
the 250-foot point and progress is
resulting at a good speed. At the
present time a force of 25 men is
being employed, but as soon as the
workings are in condition to permit
of drifting, more men will be given
employment.
With the taking over of the Red
King vein owned by the Florence
Goldfield Mining company, plans are
being formulated for the Inaugural
tion of an energetic campaign of ex-
ploration. 1t is proposed to explore
that vein down to a depth of $50
feet, while the company has the
privilege of drifting for 1000 feet.
BY operating through the Red Hill
Florence shaft the cost of mining
operations will be reduced to - Il
mum, so far as it applies to explora-
tion of Red King ground. In fact,
the Red Hill Florence Mining COM
pany bolds the key to the situation
regarding the Red King territory.
1t is probable that operations will
be started from the 200-foot level
of the Red Hill Florence shaft, and
as the workings are repaired the
scope of development will naturally
be enlarged.
All needed improvements at the
seat of operations have been COM
pleted, such as the installation of
equipment, and the outlook is most
promising for important discoveries
being made during the coming sum-
mer.

BIG WATER COURSE

During the past week heavy
flow of water was encountered at
the Silver Pick property, which is
situated to the west of the Colum-
bia mountain fault. The flow of
water is averaging around 80 gal
Ions per minute, but no trouble is
being occasioned, as the pumping
facilities are adequate to meet the
situation.

The Charm of Cretonnes

The charm of the assortment of
cretonnes shown at the Blake Shop,
22o North Second street, is that one
sees there so many beautiful pat
terms which cannot be found else
where,--the unique and unusual
tinction. The showing is so COM
pleto that it is possible to choose
just the right color tones to bring
out the best effects in your furnish,
ing scheme. For instance, they offer
a delightful cretonne in Delft blue
and white, which is just the thing
for the dining room in blue, while
light ivory backgrounds with dainty
flower and rosebud effects are fea-
tured for bedrooms, and rich, deep
color tones and the smart new Gre
tonnes with touches of black are eff
fective suggestions for living rooms
and porches.
