MINING SUIT TO

CASE UF ASTON VS.. WALL

REMOVED

AS the result of an order issued
bv Judge Mark r. Averill in the dis
trict court of Nye county, the suit
of M. B. Aston against the Wall
Street Copper company, A. H. Howe,
C. r. Evans and w. E. Norris has

The date for the hearing of the

believed that it will not be long

The complaint of Aston alleges in
effect that he was prevailed upon,
by misrepresenting the value of the

sell his stock in that company and
he asks for the restitution OF his
stock, together with heavy damages.
The defense maintains that Aston

the 1350-foot level having produc-
ed ore to the value of more than
100000. In the present work i'm
this mine, as shown by Mr.. Hutchin-
sons report, the points from which
a production of over 1000 tons was
made in September are 100 feet
apart vertically and are separated
laterally by a distance of only
about 80 feet. indicating that both
points are in the great ore-channel
extending south into the adjoining
Atlanta.
Good ore is being mined at many
points on the various levels of the
Red Top-Laguna mine. The deeper
levels are yielding ore carrying
considerable quantity of copper and
which is treated with excellent re-
suits by the flotation process. While
there has been nothing sensational
in the recent developments in this
part of the property, the grade of ore
broken is of a uniformly good mill
ing value and serves to maintain
profitable average in the general run
of ore sent to the mill from all
parts of the big property.
Figures showing the production
made by leases indicate that some
of the large number of lessees are
realizing a good profit from their
operations, particularly in view of
the fact that they are working under
the "split check" system and are not
under heavy expense for mining
equipment. Manager Hutchinson's
report in full is as follows:

MANHATTAN Mines DEVELOPING
AND PROMISE BIG PRODUCTION
(Manhattan Chamber OF Mines)

The special feature of the report
of the past week concerning min
ing operations at the White Caps
mine in Manhattan relates to the
p1 osecution of exploration work on
the 550-foot level in a westerly di-
rection from the shaft, with the in
.tention of running the cross-cut un-
til the vein known as the Shaft ore
body is intersected.
The work is being driven in
quartzite and shale, no especial
change having been noted during
the week, but each foot of advance
brings the face of the cross-cut
nearer the big orebody, and if it is
found to have developed in the
same proportions as the eastern ore
body, the resources OF the White
Caps company will have nearly
doubled
The successful treatment of the
ore, as proven by the shipment of
the first bar of bullion, made last
week through the Nevada First Ma
tional Bank has completely silenced
the skeptics and doubters, who, for
months,-in fact, ever since the
White Caps mine was reorganized
and started,-have denied the
claims of the management that a
satisfactory treatment process had
been evolved, and kept up their

BLUE BULL MINE

COMPANY SACKING RICH PROD
UCT FOR SHIPMENT TO
SMEIITER

Ore of high grade is being sacked
for shipment on the Blue Bull prop
erty and although the deposit expos
ed near the 100-foot level is not of
large dimensions, it is apparent that
the company will be enabled to Sc
cure a profitable production from
this territory. The point where this
ore is exposed Is on an intermediate
level of workings in the Pig claim
in the northern part of the property
and not far from the SimmeroDe
boundary.
On the 250-foot level a drift was
advanced by the lessees who opera:-
ed in this ground to a point less
than 100 feet from where 1t should
cut the downward extension of this
ore-shoot, and it is the intention o.
Manager Darcy to continue this
drift for the purpose of prospecting
the vein below the present workings
in which the shipping ore is being
mined The product that is being
sacked is said to have yielded aver
age assays of about 500 per ton and
the ore shows quantities of free
gold.

tc every visitor to the bank. Every
one who saw the bar of gold on
exhibition and who was genuinely
interested in the success of the
White Caps company in particular
and in the advancement of the
camp of Manhattan in general, was
quick to tender congratulations to
the management, through President
Arthur G. Raycraft upon the COM

Operations of the Cracker Jack
company appear to be on the eve
of producing results of the greatest
interest and the object for which a
large amount of dead work has
been performed will be achieved in
the near future. On the 320-foot
level a cross-cut has been driven to
the east for a distance of over 100
feet and from a point near the face
a raise has now been extended about
40 feet and apparently is entering
the footwall of the Rabbit Trail
vein. This cross-cut passed through
the main or Columbia Mountain
fault vein farther to the west, at a
point where the big vein was broken
by fault of considerable extent.
In starting operations under the
present management considerable
amount of development work was
done on the 120-foot level, where
the main vein was cut about 100
feet east of the shaft and drifts
we're extended on the vein both
ways for a considerable distance.
Raises were also driven from this
level and substantial tonnage of
good milling ore was exposed, at
Gne point proving continuous on the
dip of the vein from this level to
the surface.
Surveys of the workings on the
120-foot level and nearer the sur
face indicated that the dip was at
such an angle that on the 32O-foot
level it would be penetrated at no
great distance from the shaft, but
development work on the deeper
levels proved that the vein flattens

A new stope is being opened IN

the size of the raise from the ltO-
foot level, driven from a point about
35 feet east of the main stope. This
raise progressed for a considera bic
distance in ore of excellent average

many hundreds of dollars per ton
in gold. From the 300-foot level
raise has been driven, connecting
with the upper level and following
the ore-shoot opened by the main
stope above.
This work has served to prove
the continuity of the ore, of good
grade throughout, from the 30O-foot
level nearly to the surface. A short
distance below the 160-foot level a
fault was exposed, but a short cross
cut picked up the ore, the volume of
which was not affected by the fault.
Shipments are going forward to the

GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED Mines
co. ISSUES SEPTEMBER REPORT

Results of operations of the Gold
/ field Consolidated Mines company
for the month of September are set
forth in the final report for that
month, just submitted by General
Manager j. w. Hutchinson to Presi-
dent Wingfield and the directors of
the company. The report shows that
operations and production continued
on a normal basis and that ore of
good milling grade was exposed in
considerable quantity at many points
in the company's various mines. The
usual large amount of new develop
ment work was performed, in addi-
ton to extended work of the many
lease ol orators.
A notable feature of the report is
found in the reference to operations
in the Grizzly Bear mine, where a
substantial tonnage of gold-copper
ore was extracted from the 1850
and 1350-foot levels. This indi-

complete success in the treatment of
its copper-bearing ores.

the horizontal and it was necessary
to drive the lower level farther
than expected to cut this vein.
After entering the foot-wall of
the main vein the cross-cut on the
$40 level progressed in vein mater
ial for a considerable distance, re-
entered the country rock and again
entered vein matter, indicating that
the vein at this point is displaced
by step fault of considerable mag

on the enrichment. Drifts were ad-

large masses of low-grade ore car
rying gold-silver, copper and zinc,
but while occasional seams of high
er grade material were found, the
work failed to expose pay ore in
sLch quantity as to render it of
commercial value at present.
Farther east on the property the
Rabbit Trail vein, with trend
nearly parallel with that of the
main vein, crops boldly and has
yielded good assays in gold from
