the seventh inning. l. was Texas
Lacquer which dropped IN front OF
Felsch and for which Hap made gal

bound.
Davy Robertson got his third hit OF
the game in the eighth. Again TWO
were out. Davy stole second base,
out this time Cicotte had Holke's num-
Der and famed him. During this time
Chicago had few difficult fielding
chances. The two most difficult came
in the eighth inning.
Zimmerman nit terrific liner which
carried right at Eddie Collins and
which almost upset that star when he
made the catch. Shane Collins finally
got his sights adjusted and sprlnted
away in for Fletcher's twisting line

As TO Chicago, its back seemed
broken by Davcy Robertson's fine catch
of Gandil in the fourth inning. In the
fifth. sixth and seventh rounds the
White Sox went out in order Schalk

GREAT BEND IS
ENlARG|N WORK
NEW IMPROVEMENTS RESULT IN
MANY FINDS BEING
MADE

The Great Bend mine continues
to make an excellent showing and
a wonderful improvement has been
taking place of late weeks. En-
larged operations have been gradu-
ally carried into effect during the
past few months with the result
that the property is making one of
the best exhibitions of a coming
large producer to be found in the
Goldfield section.
On the 3OO-foot level drifting
has been started eastward with
view of exploring ground lying to-
ward the Daisy endlines. This
drift will be continued until the
line is reached which will necessi-
tate the breaking of 225 feet of
ground.
1t is proposed to start a crosscut
to the north to catch the north
vein of the Great Bend claim and
it is confidently expected that a
discovery of Importance will even
tually result.
Shipments will be started imme-
diately from what is known as the
II. raise. which is being carried
from the 300-foot level. This raise
has attained height of SO feet
and has broken into an old stope
that surrendered literally of good
grade ore during the early history
of operations. There is said to re-
main a large amount of ore in the
original workings that can be hand
led at fair margin of profit under
prevailing smelter or treatment
charges. AS result all of the pro-
duet will eventually be handled
On the 160-foot level two shifts
of miners are employed and driv-
ing to the eastward is in progress.
The face of the drift for width
of nearly five feet is showing a
solid body of ore, and from ship
ments that have been made of late
average returns of SIS ton have
been realized.
Consulting Engineer J. X. Turner
has development well planned for
this mineral estate, and unless all
signs count for naught then the
production from the holdings will
be gradually increased from week

BLACK BUTTE LEASERS COIN MONEY

duction Of 100000 resulted dur
ing the early history of the mine.
The lessees are following a number
of stringers of high-grade ore, and
prospecting is being carried forward
in the hopes that the true continua-
tion of the old Quartzite orebody
will be discovered. The product
marketed from the Campbell lease
brings returns varying from 500
to 1912 a ton.
l.. is good to witness the resump-
tion of work on such promising
properties as the Diamondfield
Black Butte, and in view of the fact
that the company has been refin-
anced, there is good reason for be-
lieving that in due course of events
the mineral estate will take it's
place among the list of steady ship
pers of the Goldfield district.

CRACKER JACK
MAKES REPAIRS
COMPANY NOW INAUGURATING
LARGER CAMPAIGN OF
DEVELOPMENT

Within the next four days all re-
pairs will have been made at the
Cracker Jack property and cam
paign of mine development will be
inaugurated on an extensive scale.
Installation of the walking-beam
pump has been completed and a
force of men is being employed in
cleaning up the accumulation of
muck that occurred on the 32O-foot
level. The water has been taken
from the shaft down to the lowest
level and drifting will start with a
view of intersecting the Columbia
mountain fault system of veins.
Manager H. G. Mcmahon stated
Wednesday that the pumps recently
lost had been recovered and placed
in position. In view of the fact that
the walking-beam pump will be
operated from surface with an in
dividual motor, no further trouble
should result from the water source
1t will only be the matter of
few days until development will be
going forward on this mineral es-
tate with the aid of three shifts,
and every possible effort will be
extended to place the mine on
self-supporting basis. 1t is anti
cipated that rich and large ore
bodies will be found below the 12O-
foot level by extending the crosscut
from the 320-foot level.
The Cracker Jack Mining COM
pany was recently reorganized and
the response of stockholders for
funds with which to carry out a
campaign of mine building was most
liberal The result of these efforts
on the part of the officers was that
funds have been secured to carry all
plans to successful termination.

ENLARGES SCOPE
OF DEVELOP MENT
JUMBO EXTENSION COMPANY
WILL INCREASE PRO
DUCTION

An enlarged campaign of eXplora-
tion has been inaugurated during
he past week at the property of the
Jumbo Extension Mining company.
These new operations are being cen
tered through shaft No. that had
lain dormant for a long period, but
as soon as the workings have been
thoroughly repaired, such as re-
timbering some of the drifts, the
crew of miners will be added to in
a substantial way.
With the preliminaries complet-
ed, the company will start work on
a raise, with view of catching
the extension of the ore shoot
found on the Laguna vein, and
which was recently taken under
lease from the Jumbo Extension
Mining company by the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company.
1t is fully expected that a miner

operations being prosecuted through
shaft No. 1. The ore is said to
carry values of better that the aver
age grade. and the showing is i'm
proving gradually.
On the Laguna vein held under
lease by the Goldfield Consolidated
company quite heavy tonnage of
low-grade ore is being mined. The
product is being consigned to the
flotation plant and an excellent
metallic extraction is reported as
being made.
The physical condition of the
Jumbo Extension property is good,
according to reports, and the out
look is most favorable for an in
creased production being made dur
ing the next few months.

width of nearly II feet. Shipments
in carload lots that have gone out
of late show average values of close
to $40 ton, both gold and silver
values being contained.
The Hornsilver Mining company
and the Silver King Mining COM
pany are two corporations that re-
Gently resumed development upon
promising prospects. One shaft has
a depth of $40 feet, and arrange
ments have been perfected for the
sinking of several hundred addition
al feet. With plans carried to a
successful termination upon the
holdings of these two properties the
outlook is favorable for shipments
of good grade being started at an
early date.
1t is reported that Los Angeles
capitalists have formed a company
that will engage in the milling
business from a custom standpoint.
From what can be learned water
rights have been secured, but it will
be necessary to construct a pipe line
for the carrying of water a long
distance. Work of mill building
will probably be started within the
next few weeks.

JUMBO JUNIOR
HAS FINE ORE
SHIPMENTS HAVE BEEN START
ED FROM SHAFT NUM-
BER TWO

The Jumbo Junior Mining COM
pany has started a campaign of
exploration through shaft No. 2,
and the first shipment of ore will
be made this week. This shaft had
been out of commission for long
time, but when the repairs have
been made greatly increased pro-
duction will be in order.
This company is prosecuting a
campaign of development on the
SS0-foot level, and the heading is
now advancing towards Kewanas
ground. A fine-looking body of
ere is showing in the fact, but no
attempt is being made for produc-
tion. AS the mineral is broken it
is left lying in the drift, but ar
rangements will eventually be made
whereby the product will be mar
keted
While no great body of high
grade is showing on the 880-foot
level, small streaks of mineral have
been putting in their appearance
for some time, with the result that
there has been marked change
taking place of late. The ore is be-
coming more solid, although the
values cannot be termed high
grade, but there is every reason for
believing that something important
will develop during the course of
the next few weeks.
The ore being produced from
shaft No. 2 is of better than the
average grade and it is anticipated
that returns of from $50 to $50
ton will be received in settle
ment The streak is growing in pro-
portions as development is carried
forward and it now looks as though
most important discovery had
been made.

The Diamondfield Black Butte
Mining company is prosecuting an
active campaign of exploration,
operations at present being largely
confined to the lowering of Calyx
core drill on the Black Butte claim.
The drill is being operated under
the direction of expert miners who
were in charge of core drilling on
the Silver Pick mine.
Officials of the company feel con-
fident that the shale contact will be
penetrated within less than 1000
feet and in view of the fact that the
drill has a capacity of 1900 feet,
it should prove adequate

attention OUTSIDE INVESTORS

Hornsilver district appears to be
enjoying more than the ordinary
prosperity at the present time. Re-
ports from that section are to the
effect that active development is in
progress on a number of properties,
while it has been frequently an
nounced of late that important finds
have resulted.
The Grand Central Gold Mines
company, recently organized under
the laws of Wyoming with a capi-
talization of $1,0OO,00O, is prpsecut-
ing active development under the
management of Tim Connolly, and
sinking of shafts on the three veins
controlled has been undertaken.
Construction for the new cyanide
mill being erected by the Silver
Mines corporation, is progressing
uninterrupted. This plant will have
daily capacity of treating 100
tons of ore and it is hoped to have
the machinery in operation soon.

500-foot level. 1t is the intention
of Manager H. G. Mcmahon to drift
east on the vein with a view of
catching the junction of the Rabbit
Trail and Red Hill Florence veins.
With the objective reached it is
confidently expected that ore in
commercial quantities will be un-
covered. Surface development on
the Rabbit Trail proved the rich
ness of that vein, and there seems
to be no reason to be offered why
the ore shoots will not be found to
be persistent.
The shaft on the Red Hill Flor
ence estate has total depth of
500 feet. 1t is intended to repair
the workings down to the lowest
level, but in the meantime drifting
will be prosecuted with vigor on
the 500-foot level
The Red Hill Florence Mining
company has sufficient funds in the
treasury to insure that no assess
ment will be levied among the
stockholders for year at least.

it is anticipated that a discovery
of some Importance will eventually
be made. CrOsscutting has also
been started to the north to catch

COPPER MINES TO
PRODUCE HEAVILY
Jumbo EXTENSION COMPANY
PLANS LARGE DEVEL-
OPMENTS

Extensive development is being
carried forward at the Copper Noun
tain mines, operated under favorable
option terms by the Jumbo Exten-
sion Mining company. From the
manner in which development and
improvements are being carried for
ward it is evident that this property
will shortly take it's place among the
largest producers of copper ore to
be found in the state of Nevada.
The physical condition of the mine
is excellent, according to the state
ment of the officials of the company,
but in order to carry all plans into
effect it will be necessary to make
a number of improvements at the
seat of operations. A five-ton auto
truck left few days ago for the
mines. 1t carried a core drill and
exploitation of ground will be start
ed shortly. Consulting Engineer J..
X. Turner will visit the property
during the course of the next few
days for the purpose of selecting the
point where the drill is to have it's
starting place.
The auto truck will be used in
transporting ore to Nolan Station
and in bringing supplies to the
mines, so therefore it will be kept
in steady operation.
The facilities at Nolan Station are
inadequate to accommodate the pro-
duction that is being made at the
Copper Mines, and the Southern Pa
cific officials have announced their
intention of constructing a platform
for the reception of ore.
Consulting Engineer j. K. Turner
states that the company will install
a 15-horse power Fairbanks-Morse
engine and hoist on shaft No. 2. The
equipment has been purchased and
is now in Goldfield and will be
shipped within a few days. A three
drill Ingersoll-Rand compressor will
also be sent to the mines to be in
stalled at shaft No. 1. There will
also be provided a 25-horse power
hoist.
Lumber has been ordered for the
enla. gemelt Of the bunk houses and
other buildings that have been
found necessary owing to enlarged

Grandma Mine
The shaft on the Grandma has
penetrated the oxidized mineral
zone, but as yet no discoveries have
been reported. 1t is anticipated,
however, that the shale contact will
be reached almost any day, follow
ing which finds of importance may
possibly result. The shaft has at
tanned a depth of 800 feet, and
sinking is progressing at the aver
age rate of two feet each day. Dur
ing the week heavy flow of water
was penetrated which is a splendid
indication that ore is close at hand.

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDFlELD DISTRICT

While no sensational discoveries
were reported in the Goldfield sec
tion during the past week, it is
nevertheless a fact that much new
development was inaugurated on a
number of the best known mines.
Resumption of work on number
dormant for long period, is pro-
missed for the near future, but the
men who are making arrangements
to secure the finances think the
time inopportune to make official
announcement.
Taken as a whole the Goldfield
mining region is showing consider
able renewed activity, and the COM
ing year should witness large devel-
opment going forward with the ma
tural result that the production will
be materially increased.
The war does not seem to have
affected the market to any great
extent and finances are rapidly
forthcoming for mine building as
occasion demands. Stocks have
been quite steady, although there
was a slight decline following the
announcement of the conflict with
Germany.
Jumbo Extension Mine
New development has been inau-
gurated during the last week at
this we'll known property. The re-
pair of shaft No. 2 promises to
prove an important undertaking.
Following the completion of the
work and the retimbering of num-
ber of drifts, a raise will be carried
to reach the extension of the ore
vein found on the Laguna property,
but which is being operated under
lease by the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. Shipments have
been started from the 331 stope on
the 790-foot level, operations being
prosecuted through shaft No. /.
The entire property is showing in
splendid form and the prospects for
