REVIEW OF MINING

Luning, in Mineral county. Three
shafts are being worked on the
property and two of these are now
being sunk rapidly to explore the
ore-bearing contact zones at depth.
The property has already produced a
large tonnage of high-grade copper
ore and several leases have been
making a highly profitable produc-
ton. In the local property of the
continues in virgin territory, where
some good ore has been exposed in
the past few months.
Great Bend Mine
The best showing of ore at pre-
sent in the entire Goldfield district
is in the Great Bend property,
where ore of shipping grade is be-
ing broken in good quantity on two
levels, the 100 and 800, and there
is evidence of the presence of
large bodies Of ore that can be
shipped at a good profit. In the
main stope above the 160-foot
level a substantial width of ore
has been yielding some sensational
assays of late, many of them above
$500 per ton, while on the 300
foot level the east drift has pro-
crossed for over 60 feet along the
vein in ore a~ssaying from $35 to
500 per ton. Returns from the
last carload shipped were about
SIS per ton in gold and other ship
ments have reached nearly the
same figure.
Jumbo Junior
Driving north from it's main
workings into the territory leased
from the adjoining Kewanas, the
Jumbo Junior has exposed good
ore at a number of points near the
hanging wall of the big vein and a
raise has been started lately, fol-
lowing the dip of the ore. The
drift will be extended to the
boundary of the leased ground,
where connection is to be made
with the workings of the Kewanas
company, now being extended south
with that object in view.
e Hill florence
A series of raises, now three in
number, extending from the drift
on the 5O0-foot level of the Red
Hill Florence. are being extended
on the rather steep dip of the vein,
two of them near the hanging wall
and one near the center of the big
lode. These raises are now show
ing wide seams of ore yielding ex-
cellent assays and the management
has strong hopes of opening an
near future.
Silver Pick Cons.
Good assays are being obtained
in exploring the vein opened a short
time ago in the extreme northern
part of the Silver Pick property.
ing from the old Won Polenz lease
shaft, where pay ore was said to
have been found in the early days
of the camp. The south drift is
now in a large body of ore of
varying grade, showing at one point

a larger body of lower grade ma
terial, suitable for milling.
Cracker Jack
Encouraging results have attend
ed the opening of the great Column
bia Mountain fault vein on the
Cracker Jack property. at a depth
of 800 feet. The east cross-cut
penetrated the vein at a point
about 700 feet from the main shaft
and entered a faulted zone contain
ing low-grade gold ore. A drift is
being driven to the south, follow
ing a our near the hanging wall,
and has exposed quantities of ore
running high in copper and contain
ing some gold. The cross-cut is
being continued to locate and eX-
plore the parallel Rabbit Trail
vein.
Grandma Cons.
Sinking continues on the Grand
ma property and the main shaft is
now down over 400 feet and is
making good progress, with the
aid of the company's excellent sur
face equipment and new powerful
motors.
White Pine Prosperous.
