JUMBO EXTENSION EXPOSES
ORE OF GOOD GRADE
IN DEEP WINE

On the 1017-foot level, not far
from this point, alaskite was found,
apparently in the form of a tongue
or intrusion, and the ore broken in
the winze and in the drift now be-
ing extended from the winze shows
indications of the presence of alas
kite and is typical of the quartz
found elsewhere in association with
aiaskite. Engineer Turner states
that the new workings are still
within the shale and cannot have
reached the general plane of the
alaskite. Proof of this was offorded
bv the core drill, which was sunk
through the shale and into the alas
kite farther east.
In sinking the winze from the
1917 level the change in the char
acter of vein matter was gradual
and upon the appearance of ore of
tho kind now being broken the as
says were only around Sc per ton.
This was known to be out of direct
line with the main ore-shoot higher
i the vein and little of value was
ter ded under the ore found above.
AS the new drift progressed the
assays improved steadily and we'll
marked seams were found to assay
as high as $50 per ton in gold and
copper. The latest sampling across
the entire face of the drift gave an
average of over SIG per ton.
Officials of the company, while
regarding the results obtained an
inconclusive of the presence here of
Orebodies of sensational size or
value, believe that the discovery is
of great significance and have de-
termined to carry this work to far
greater depth and to explore the big
vein in most thorough manner on
deep levels.
Success in this work will be the
vindication of another theory of
superintendent j. x. Turner, who is
generally credited with solving the
question of shale contact enrich
ment in the Goldfield district and
who, ever since he assumed charge
o. the Jumbo Extension property,
has held to the belief that pay ore
would be found in this vein far be-
lew the shale's surface An air
hoist has been installed at the
winze and preparations have been
made to carry the work to great
depth and to explore the vein by
drifts on deep levels.
Operations on the Copper Noun

ness for the regular operation of the
plant on a substantial basis, treat

for the company, has been in Gold
field this week and stated that the
property was in excellent condition
and that new developments of i'm
portance had been made in the mine
recently.
The incline shaft, at depth of
510 feet, has exposed sulphide ore

A new ore-shoot of great size and
excellent average grade has been ex-
posed in driving to the west on the

one of the most important develop

and it is thought that this may be

have been opened and all have been
found to be of large dimensions and

NEW ORE-SHOOT
IN SILVER PICK
RICH SAMPLES SECURED IN EN-
PLORING 5OO-FOOT
LEVEL

High-grade assays have been OBJ
tanned lately in sampling the new
workings of the Silver Pick Consoli-
dated, at a point about 200 feet
south by southeast of the main shaft
and on the 600-foot level. Reports
from the property, relating both to-
the position of the new workings and
the quality and character OF the
ore, are conflicting, but it is known
that some of the samples from the
drift have returned assays as high
as 5000 per ton, while one days
sampling, excluding the richest ma
terial, gave an average for some 10
assays of over $40 per ton.
According to the opinion of some
local mining authorities who have
inspected the Silver Pick workings
lately, the new discovery is in the
vein which crops a considerable dis
tance to the west on the Silver Pick
and to the south on the January.
This vein, dipping to the east,
was opened and explored 20 a limit
ed extent in earlier work of the COM
pany. when some seams of pay ore
we're exposed and when it was re-
ported that a considerable quantity
of good mill ore was present at THIS
level. The present showing is pro-

At the 150-foot level it is planned to
explore the vein by cross-cuts and
probably some further exploratory
work will be done here by means of
drifts 1t is also planned to drive to
a point under the old lease workings,
where a considerable quantity of
high-grade ore was extracted for
shipment from drift extended
from the deep winze.
Mining men familiar with the Gold
Mountain district pronounce the late
developments in the Butte Goldfield
property to be of the first import
ance and declare that no discovery in
that region has afforded as good
promise of developing into a produc-
ing mine of substantial proportions.
The main vein is well defined, of
large size and traverses the prop
erty for long distance. Ore of ex-
cellent grade and deposits of good
,olume has been found at several
points and interesting results are
predicted when these ore-shoots are
Cpe1ed in the sulphido zone.
Arrangements have been made
for the financing of the company S

Work conducted on the property
of the Butte Goldfield company, in
the Gold Mountain district, SO miles
south of Goldfield, has resulted late
ly in opening ore of good grade at a
depth of 100 feet in the main shaft
and in cross-cuts from the shaft at
this level.
After cutting the ore-shoot over a
fortnight ago, at depth of SO feet,
sinking was continued we'll below
the 100-foot point, the ore maintain
ing an encouraging average in value.
1t was then decided to cross-cut the
vein at this level and this work has
been in progress during the past
week.
At this point the vein is of great
width and the hanging wall has not
been reached, the incline shaft being
nearer the foot-wall side of the vein.
In prosecuting toward the hanging
wall some ore of high grade W S
found, in addition to that exposed in
the shaft, and an interesting feature
is the presence of two wide seams of
ore, lying together but showing a
marked difference in point of metal
lie contents.
One of these seams carries lead
and the other copper, in addition to
the gold and silver found in both.
but no lead is found in the copper
bearing ore and no copper in that
containing lead. Average samples of
the lead ore gave an average OF $33
per ton, while the copperbearing ore
was shown to vary more widely in
quality, some of the samples assay
ing as high as $104 per ton. In ad-
dition to these two seams, there is n
solid two-foot vein of excellent mill
ore, assaying from $14 to $23 per
ton and apparently only gold and
silver.

feet of prosecuting will be requir-
ed to reach the hanging wall and
there is good reason to believe that
additional ore will be found in this
part of the vein. The cross-cut
that is being drive into the foot wall
is in lower grade quartz and con-
ditions at this side of the vein are
of an encouraging character.
President l.. L. Patrick visited the
mine late in the week and stated
that some sulphide ore was showing
in the workings on the 100-foot lev
ell, indicating that the sulphide zone
is at no great depth here.

Results that may have a vital in
fluence upon the future of Gold
field have followed the sinking of a
winze in the Jumbo Extension mine,
from the bottom or 1017-foot level,
following the main vein on its
rather flat dip into the shale. AL
though no ore of sensational quality
has been found in the course of
this work, the geological conditions
revealed have aroused intense in

cularly among mining engineers and
students of geology of the district.
Whether the principal veins or
ore-channels of the Goldfield dis
sures through the shale and into
the underlying alaskite. containing
pay ore at great depth. has long
been question overshadowing in
interest any other geological pro-
blem offered Goldfield mine opera

tion the efforts of the Jumbo Ex-
tension and Atlanta companies are
now being directed in manner cal

following the veins incline of about
so degrees. This has not brought
any great gain in depth, but has
attained a point farther east and
farther within the shale. The chief
point of interest lies in the mark
ed change in all conditions of geo.
logy and in the character of the
ore at this depth.

Air drilling equipment has been
installed and development work is
making rapid progress on the Kan
rohat property, recently purchased
by S. Fl. Brady of Reno and asso-
ciates and which is situated in JEFF
ferson Canyon, seven miles from
Round Mountain Drills are ad-
vancing the main tunnel, which is
expected to penetrate the vein with
in distance of not more than so
feet. This vein has been opened by
side and from the lower tunnel over
1000 feet of backs will be available.
Under former ownership a com
plete milling plant was installed,
but was never placed in commission.
TO his plant is now being remodeled
and equipped with flotation machin-
cry of 100 tons daily capacity. AS
the mine is further opened. addi-
tional units will be installed.
The tonnage of profitable mill ore
now on dumps. together with that
exposed in the various tunnel work
ings, indicates that the property will
supply eventually several hundred
tons daily. and mill plans have been
designed with a view to treating a
large tonnage in future.
