CRACKER JACK
IN FAULT VEIN
GOOD ASSAYS ARE OBTAINED
FROM SEAMS EXPOSED AT
DEPTH

Operations of the Cracker Jack
company have reached point where
mine developments of the greatest
moment may be expected at any
time, as the east cross-cut on the
320-foot level is apparently enter
ing the main Columbia Mountain
fault vein, for which it has been
driven and in which large bodies of
excellent mill ore have been exposed
on upper levels. The appearance of
the formation now exposed has
aroused the greatest interest among
miners familiar with this part of the
district, and all are convinced that
the present work will soon lead to
the finding of pay ore in large vol
ume.
After having extended the cross
cut for about $50 feet, in Sandstorm
rhyolite, the formation has shown
marked change and the work is
now progressing in a broken, highly
oXidized material, containing many
small seams and veinlets of heavily
mineralized quartz from which high
assays have been obtained. The ore
seams contain sulphides in consider
able quantity, indicating nearness to
the sulphide zone.
On the 120-foot level the vein was
cut by driving to the east, and in
drifts and raises at this level a large
tonnage of milling ore has been
placed in sight. one large orebody
having been opened continuously
from this level to the surface, or for
length of approximately $50 feet
on ita incline. This ore is free
milling and in the future will yield
substantial revenues when provision
is made for its treatment on the
ground. Below the 120-foot level
the vein appears to have flattened
to some extent, but the face of the
cross-cut is now about at the point
where the management expected TO
cut the vein.
Prospects of opening bodies OF
high-grade ore at this level are gem
orally regarded as excellent, owing
to the character of the vein and the
extent of naturalization nearer the
surface. In some respects the ge-
ology of this ground is similar to
that of the adjoining Sandstorm
mine, which has produced a large
tonnage of exceedingly rich ore. al
though it is indicated that the high
grade deposits may be slightly deep
er on the Cracker Jack, and the lat
ter has shown larger bodies of mill
ore at the surface than any prop
erty in the northern part of the dis
trict.

contact zone and some of these pill
lars will now he drawn and the re-
sulting extraction will probably de-
fray all operating costs for the pres
ent month. 1t is believed that some
new ore of commercial grade may
be found in exploring below the old
Slopes, but no important production
is anticipated in this territory
Much interest attaches to the core
drilling operations that are about to
begin. The object of this work is TO
determine conditions at the shaie-
below the surface of the shale in
order to prove up the character at
depth of the large quar.z fissures
that are shown on the deepest lev
els to extend within the shalc.
Outside operations of the Jumbo
Extension company are assuming
large proportions and the company
has taken options on several proper
ties that are regarded as promising
and that have been carefully exam
ined and sampled by Consulting En-
gineer j. X. Turner and his assist
ants. Mr.. Turner is now assembling
men and equipment to start work
on substantial scale, on Jan. 10,
on the Copper Mountain property,
under "A long-term option.
This property is situated in the
Rand district, in Mineral county, A.
miles east of Luning and Is miles
from Nolan station. the shipping
point on the southern branch of the
Southern Pacific railroad Lessees
who have been operating on this
property have shipped quantities of
high grade copper ore and the Mil
ler-Lappat lease has lately acquired
motor truck to transport it's
product to the railroad.
The Copper Mountain property is
regarded as one of the best copper
prospects in this region and shows
ore of good grade at number of
points. The value of the property

BLACK BUTTE IS
>. IN GOOD SHAPE
WILL START WORK AT ONCE ON
RICH ORIZABA PROP
ERTY

From this time forward the
operations of the Diamondfieid
Black Butte company are destined
to occupy a prominent place in the
mining news of this region, as the
company. is now ready to start ac-
tive development work on the Orl-
zaba property, which it controls
and which is situated north of Mil
lers and about 40 miles northwest
CT Tonopah. The property has been
examined and sampled by large
number of mining men, engineers
and biologists, and is pronounced
one of the biggest and richest sill
yer mines in the state.
Mining equipment, machinery,
pumps, building materials and all
other accessories for extensive oper-
ations have been assembled lately
at the Orizaba property and the
work will now go forward without
delay, under capable management
The first work will consist of drlv-
ing a cross-cut on the 95-foot level
from rs to 100 feet into the ,coun-
try rock, away from the vein, which
also forms the water channel. At
this point a raise will be driven
to the surface. opening new
working shaft, from which the ore
bearing zones can be explored to
good advantage at greater depth
With this raise completed, the
powerful new hoisting equipment
will be installed here and sinking
will proceed. At depth of about
200 feet another station will be
cut and the great ore-channel VIII
be explored to further open up the
large deposits of high-grade silver
ore exposed on the 95-foot level.
1t is estimated that if the ore
bodies now showing on this level
maintain their size and value to a
depth of another 100 feet, the mine
will produce $1,OOO,O00 worth Of
shipping ore down to this level.
Shipments have continued to GO
forward to the smelter, the ore
having been taken from the old
workings and sent out by motor
)lck to Millers. A new discovery
Of Importance was made a short
time ago. in extending the old work
ihgs to the east on the 95-foot level
This find extends the known area
of enrichment at this shallow depth
and opens new possibilities for this
territory when the mine is explored
at greater depth.
The Diamondfield property of the
company is in excellent shape ana
has lately shipped some ore assay
ing over 5000 per ton. A core
drilling outfit is now on the ground
for deep prospecting.

tension and the drills will be start
ed at once to explore the shale-
alaskite contact and to seek and de-
termine the character of the large
quartz fissures that extend within
the shale. The company will now
proceed to extract some high grade
ore that was left in pillars in the
rich territory and expenses for the
current month will be paid by this
extraction. Work is to be started,
under a working option, on the Cop
per Mountain property, in the Rand
district.
Silver Pick Cons.
Delay has been occasioned in the
resumption of work by the recent
cutting off of power, which render
ed the pumps idle during several
days and permitted the deeper
workings to partly fill with water.
No damage to mine workings or
equipment was caused and develop
ment work will proceed along the
lloes followed heretofore by Man-
ager Dyer. The west cross-cut OH
the 1100-foot level has progressed
over, 100 feet from the shaft, while
the east cross-cut had been advance
ed 80 feet. Sinking will be resum-
ed shortly, with a view to reaching
and prospecting the alaskite con-
tact.
ReOrganized Kewanas
Work is again progressing in the
Kewanas mine, after an interruption
caused by the cutting off of power
and by the necessity for rewinding
a motor used on the bottom level
The west drift from the top of the
raise, above the S40-foot level, has
again entered the shale contact
quartz zone and should expose the
ore-shoot soon. II the ore proves
as strong and of as good grade at
this point as in the raise, the Ke-
wanas will at once be assured a
