RED HILL DEAL
IS PROGRESSING
WILL INVOLVE THOROUGH DE-
VELOPMENT OF THE FLOR
ENCE GOLDFIELD

Progress is reported in negotia-
the Red Hill Florence Mining COM
pany of a controlling interest in the
Florence Goldfield company and it
is said that there is now every as
surance that the transaction will be
carried through without a hitch.
The largest individual owners of
stock in the Florence company are
said to have agreed to terms un-
der which their holdings will be
transferred to the Red Hill Flor
ence company and it is stated that
the latter company will have in
it's possession, upon the completion
of the deal, approximately 100000
shares of Florence stock, leaving
100000 shares in circulation or in
the hands of minority stockholders.
1t has been announced in a let
ter issued by A. Fl. Howe and II.
G. Mcmahon, officers of the Red
Hill Florence company, that the
first step to be taken by that COM
pany upon acquiring control of the
Florence, will be to liquidate in
full all the Indebtedness of the
latter company, shown by a recent
report of the receiver to aggregate
about $4,000. 1t is also stated
that sufficient operating fund will
be provided to continue the develop
ment of the Florence and Red Hill
Florence properties in thorough
manner.
The main shaft of the Red Hill
Florence, a short distance west of
the Florence boundary, was sunk to
a depth of 500 feet by the old
Florence American company, one of
the components of the present Red
Hill Florence corporation. The
shaft is of three compartments, with
working stations cut on the 500,
600, 700 and 800-foot levels, and
it has lately been completely re-
timbered to the 500-foot level and
equipped with one of the best sur
face plants in the Goldfield dis
trict.
Machine drills are in use on the
500-foot level, where a large force

GOOD PROSPECT
FOR SANDSTONE
DRIFT is BEING ADVANCED
ALONG VEIN BELOW OLD
SLOPES

Active development work contin-
ues at the property of the Sand
Consolidated company,
on the north slope of Columbia
Mountain, and results of late have
been rather more encouraging than
for some time past, although no
commercial orebodies have been ex-
posed. At present Manager DARCY
is extending a drift from the raise
above the 95O-foot level and at a
vertical depth of about 275 feet,
following the course of the vein
from which early leasing operations
produced a large tonnage of high
grade ore.
The prospecting of the vein at
this depth appeared advisable by
reason of the appearance in the
raise of seams of good ore, some
of these seams assaying around $40
per ton in gold. Work in the
raise was suspended for the time
being but will be resumed later
and the raise will be continued,
following the incline of the vein, to
connect with the old lease slopes
above this point.
A fortune was taken from these
slopes in ore of exceeding richness
and when the leases expired there
remained in the old workings some
ore that cor now be marketed at
a profit. 1t is planned, however,
to prospect the vein between the
present workings and these slopes,
in the hope that other deposits of
high grade ore will be revealed be-
low the old slopes.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-06-09

A larger tonnage of ore is being
at the present time than for several
years past; the mines are in better
condition and there is more COM
mercial ore in sight in these mines
than there has been for long per-
iOd. Reports from all parts of the
district are most encouraging and
new development work of wide scope
is being inaugurated. These facts
have not been reflected in the mar
ket for Goldfield stocks, but owners
of Goldfield shares generally realize
that all metal mining issues are at
a low ebb and they also realize that
with the return of normal market
conditions the Goldfield stocks, sup
ported by vastly improved mine
conditions, must again come into de-
mand.
The usual large payroll is main-
tanned in the Goldfield district and
during the next month or two it will
probably be increased in no small
measure by the resumption OF act
i've work on properties that have
long been idle and by the expansion
of operations in territory now be-
ing worked on limited scale. De-
velopment work and core drilling
operations in the Diamondfield part
of the district are again attracting
attention to the properties in that re-
gion, particularly in view of the re-
cent discoveries of rich ore in the
Great Bend property. A Calyx drill,
sinking on the Diamondfield Black
Butte property, is reported to have
cut ore of good quality at depth of
100 feet. The entrance of the Ke-
wanas property into the. list of ship
ping mines and the opening OF new
bonanza ore in the Jumbo Extension
are factors that are stimulating to
the entire district.
GoIdfield Consolidated
The principal production of the
Consolidated company's mines is
now coming from the deeper levels,
where the ore contains copper and is
therefore not amenable to success
full treatment by the cyanide pro-
cess. In order to meet this condi-
ton, the company some time ago
equipped its big plant with mach1n-
cry for the flotation process, which
is designed to treat refractory ores,
and the product of this character is
now being handled at low cost, with
a high extraction of the metals. In

CRACKER JACK
NEAR BIG vein
ARE BRIGHT FOR
MAKING GOOD NINE IN
NEAR FUTURE

Conditions in the Cracker Jack
company's property now offer much
encouragement and the next few
weeks will be a period of the great
est interest to those who are in any
way interested in the company's
operations. A large amount of
dead work has been performed and
for over three months the COM
pany's work was interrupted by
water difficulties, but with the aid
of an excellent surface plant and
with a large force of miners the
work is now approaching point
where concrete results are fore
shadowed for the near future.
At a depth of 800 feet cross
cut is being advanced to the east
from the main shaft on the Adams
claim, for the purpose of cutting the
main Columbia Mountain fault vein.
This vein lies at rather flat angle
and it is apparent that it must form
junction at depth with the nearly
parallel Rabbit Trail vein and at
this point it is believed by the
management that important deposits
of ore must be found.
On and above the 120 foot level
the workings in the fault vein have
exposed large quantities of excellent
mill ore, with every indication that
the ore continues to greater depth
The main vein is the strongest and
best defined in the entire Gold
field district as farther to the south
it forms the main ore-channel of
the district, extending through the
Booth, Goldfield Consolidated, Ke-
wanas, Jumbo Extension and Flor
ence properties, but it has never
been prospected at depth as far
north as the Cracker Jack.
The east cross-cut of the latter
has advanced over 500 feet and
may penetrate the big vein at any
time within the next few weeks.
Seams of quartz, yielding encour-
aging assays, have been exposed in
driving the cross-cut and wide zones
of oxidized material have been pene-
trated. The cross-cut is now in
harder material but has been pro-
crossing at a rate of from five to

TRIANGLE MINE
TO BEGIN WORK
EARLY-DAY FAVORlTE AT DIA-
MONDFIELD WILL RESUME
DEVELOPMENT

Development work is to be start
ed at once on the property of the
Reorganized Diamondfield Triangle
Mining company, situated in the
Diamondfield division of the Gold
field district and adjoining the
Daisy property and the Gold Coin
and Saddle Rock claims of the
Jumbo Extension company. The
company was reorganized a short
time ago, on the assessable stock
basis, and in this manner funds will
be provided to conduct a thorough
system of development work at
depth.
During the boom period of Gold
field the Diamondfield Triangle
property was regarded as one of
the most promising prospects in the
entire district and the company's s
stock was one of the most active
traders on the Goldfield list, in
markets both east and west.
Some ore of high grade was found
in early development work, in a
vein that was said to extend from
the Great Bend property, at the west
through this ground and into the
Gold Coin claim of the Jumbo Ex-
tension, where rich ore was also
discovered. Plans for the resump-
tion of work on the Triangle ground
are being prepared by j. K. Tur-
ner, who has been retained as con-
sulting engineer for the company,
and the destinies of the company
will be in the hands of Goldfield

GREAT BEND IS
SHIPPING DAILY
PRODUCT OF HIGH AVERAGE
GRADE BEING SENT TO
SAMPLER

Recent development work in the
Great Bend property has resulted
in opening. ore of excellent grade
and product of high shipping quail
ity is now coming from slopes
above the 800 and 160-foot levels.
Some of the assays taken in the
mine lately have run as high as
500 per ton, and the average
sent to the sampler has been bet
ter than for some time past the
last carload sampling nearly $50
per ton. Teams are hauling ore
to the railroad daily and ore is
being broken over a substantial
width in the slopes.
Large areas still remain to be
prospected in the Great Bend pro-
perty, as the work of exploring the
main veins has thus far been con-
fined to the territory east of the
main shaft and on only two levels,
the $50 and 800.
Some work was done on the 400
foot level, but the character of the
ground rendered work exceedingly
difficult and costly. and it was
deemed better to proceed with work
on the upper levels in order bet
ter to determine the position and
course of veins and ore-shoots. Ship
ments will continue daily and
there are encouraging prospects OF
a continuance of good profits.

KEWANAS in
Splendid
SHAPE
ORE OF GOOD SHIPPING GRADE
is NOW HOISTED
DAILY

Slopes opened from the south
drift on the S40-foot level of the
Reorganized Kewanas company's
property continue to supply ore Of
excellent average grade for ship
ment and returns from the product
shipped heretofore are said to afford
assurance that good profits will be
derived from a substantial tonnage
broken in this territory. The ore
carries gold and copper, with a
small quantity of silver, and is es-
scntially a smelling product.
Ore of this character, of shipping
grade, is exposed continuously in
the drift and stope for over 100
feet. The south face of the drift
is still in the same grade Of ore,
but further driving has been dis
continued for the present, while
slopes are being opened to provide
shipping ore. No work has yet
been done north of the east cross
cut from which this drift has been
extended, but it is understood that
work in this direction will be taken
up in due time, in order to prospect
the ore-channel in the shale contact
zone to the north.
The same ore has been exposed
by the raise 100 feet west of this
drift, showing that the orebody is
of considerable extent, and in open
ing up this ore, as we'll as in ex-
tending the main north drift, a
large tonnage of excellent flotation
ore has been placed in sight.
With the more complete opening
up of the mine, it is understood
that provision will be made to Sc
cure the treatment of the lower
grade. sold-copper ore of the Ke
wanas, probably in the flotation
plant of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company, which will ulti-
mately be made capable of treating
a large tonnage of ore of this char
acter.
For a distance of over 500 feet
the north drift from the company's
main working station progressed
along the course of the principal
ore-channel of the Goldfield dis
trict and for a great part Of the
distance within the shale contact
zone, in which there appeared to be
large quantities of low-grade ore
suitable for treatment by flotation.
Manager Darcy now regards the
condition of the Kewanas mine as
highly encouraging and as affording
promise of substantial production
of ore that will yield a good profit
in shipping to the smelters, as we'll

IS MAKING
OUTPUT
THIRD SHAFT STARTED ON PRO
PERTY BY JUMBO EXTEN-
SION COMPANY

Shipments of copper ore of ex-
cellent grade are now being made
from the Copper Mountain property,
which is being operated under a
long-term option by the Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company of Gold
field. Consulting Engineer J. X.
Turner has returned from a trip to
the property, where he spent two
days in carefully examining the
workings and in formulating plans
for the thorough development of the
property at a number of points.
Two carloads of ore have just
been shipped, the first averaging
about 10 per cent copper and the
second fully Is per cent in the red
metal. Motor trucks are being
used to haul the ore over the 15-
mile road to Nolan station, on the
Southern Pacific's Nina division,
where additional facilities are be-
ing provided for handling the Jum-
bo Extension company's ore.
Lessees operating on the Copper
Mountain property continue to ship
a substantial volume, but at pre-
sent the No. l, or Miller-La Patte
lease, is sinking it's main shaft an
other lift of 100 feet and during the
period of sinking it's production will
be curtailed to some extent. Other
lessees are producing ore of ex-
cellent grade, most of which is
shipped to the Hazen sampler of
the Western Ore Purchasing com
pany.
During Engineer Turner's latest
visit to the property he perfected
arrangements for sinking third
working shaft. Ore is now being
produced from the No. shaft and
is exposed in workings from the No
shaft. but the latter is now being
sunk to at least the 250-foot level,
with the aid of the recently in
stalled hist and air drilling equip
ment. The three shafts are so
situated that drifts and cross-cuts
extended from them will serve to
open the contact zone, in which the
ore is found, for a long distance
This contact, formed between lime
and monzonite, is well defined for a
distance of several thousand feet
on the property, which embraces IT
claims. A number of applications
have been received lately for leases,
and lease has just been granted on
one of the unpatented claims, at
considerable distance from the COM
pany working and where copper ore
of good grade is said to have been
found lately.
The company has reserved large
