REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN G0LDFIELD DISTRICT

Signs are becoming more appar-
ent daily of the revival in mining
activity that invariably follows the
warm season. Mine operators and
owners are returning from their
summer vacations, working forces
are being increased and plans an
nounced earlier for the resumption
of development work on ground
that has long been idle will be put
in effect shortly. Work of this
nature is likely to bear important
fruit, as it will not be undertaken
blindly, as was most of the early
work in this district, but will in
every instance be guided by results
obtained in adjacent territory
Many perplexing geological prob
lens have been solved as result
of development work of the east
year. These problems are always
present in a region where there is
extensive vein faulting and a large
amount of development work is re-
quired to determine the throw of

GOLD MOUNTAIN
MINE IMPROVES
TONNAGE OF GOOD
MILL ORE

Reports from the Nevada En-
press property, situated in the Gold
Mountain district, south of Gold
field, and which is owned and oper-
ated by the Nevada Cooperative
Mines company, indicate that sub
stantial profits will be made in flu
ture by the treatment of the free
milling gold ore now exposed in the
mine. The principal vein system
has been opened continuously for
several hundred feet by means of
a series of tunnels, all problems on
connection with fault influences
have been worked out and large
tonnage of pay ore has been placed
in sight.
discovery that is believed to be
important has been made lately on
another part of the large property,
just over the high ridge from the
main tunnel workings, and it is
probable that the company will de-
vote considerable part of it's work
to this territory in the near future.
The company has an excellent
mill-site, near the portal of it's main
lower tunnel, and has water rights
that insure the success of milling
operations. The ore is amenable

tain large deposits of similar ore
of medium grade, we'll suited for
treatment by the flotation process.
In earlier work in the Grizzly
Bear mine, at depth of about 1850
feet, an orebody was found near
the shale contact zone which yield
ed upwards of half a million dol
lars worth of high-grade shipping
ore.
At the same time a large tonnage
of lower grade material was placed
in sight, but as this material could
not at the time be marketed profi-
tably, operations here were discon-
tinued to await the time when a
process for the successful treatment
of this ore should become available.
The company is now operating a
flotation plant of large capacity and
this ore can now be treated at low
cost and with a high recovery of
the metallic contents.

the faults, the positions of the veins
and the influence of faulting upon
enrichment. In this district both
what are known as pre-mineral and
post-mineral faults have been found
to exist and in many cases it has
required much intensive work to de-
termine the character of these
parted segments of the veins, as
we'll as the relation and effect of
cross-fissuring.
The presence of these faults and
cross fissures is by no means detri-
mental to the prospects of mine,
AS many of the largest and richest
crebodies found in the district have
been closely related to such faults
or fissures, and geolOgists explain
that these breaks in the veins have
formed the avenues through which
tie minerals, in solution, have gain
cd access to brecciated areas and
foimed the orebodies. In some
places the faulting has caused
seperate segments OF the veins to
be thrown far apart, and recent
work at several points has teen of
great value in proving the extent
of displacement and in opening
ground where there are indications

related to faulted zones This con-
dition has been most conspicuously

A marked improvement Is report

has been progressing in an easterly
direction on the SS0-foot level, in

the Jumbo Junior workmen exposed
this fault and their work served to
correlate the north and south seq

was disclosed at a distance of less
than $50 feet from the boundary

this point the cross-cut is being ex-

ATLANTA SINKS

MACHINERY INSTALLED ON 1850
LEVEL AND STATION
FINISHED

New equipment of the Atlanta
Mines company is nearly ready to
begin sinking the big winze from
the 1850 to the 2O0O-foot level. A
working station has Deen completed
which is 10 sets of timbers in
length and of sufficient height to
house the head-frame and other
machinery. A compressor of large
capacity, an electric hoisting engine.
machine drills of the most approved
design and powerful pumping plant
are included in the equipment in
stalled on the present bottom level
for sinking purposes.
The point where the winze is be-
ing started is about 25 feet west
of the foot-wall of the main At
lanta vein, in the cross-cut that
was driven to this part of the prop
erty some time ago. 1t was decided
to sink outside of the vein, as the
veins here mark the water-chan-
nels, and by sinking in the country
rock not only will the difficulty of
handling a heavy volume of water
in sinking be avoided, but the water
can be handled to better advan-
| tage when the vein is cut on deeper
levels, by draining into sump, and
in case of emergency the cross-cuts
to the vein can be bulkheaded.
Assurance that the work of sink
ing will proceed rapidly is afforded
by the liberal scale upon which all
preparations are being made by
Manager A. |. Darcy, who has late
ly returned from his vacation At
one time the handling of the large
flow of water I from the Atlanta
workings was a problem that taxed
the capacity of pumps and the in
genuity of the management
This difficulty was removed, how
ever, by alterations to the entire
system of pumping. Tho water
from the AtlaCta now passes
through the long cross-cut 10 the
st. Ives shaft of the Mecger,
through which AL Atlanta o,era-
tiOns are conducted, and is pumped

whence it flows to the Grizzly Bear

Similar conditions affecting the en-

the company's property, the most
notable at present being in the
southwestern section, where drifts
are being advanced along both walls
of the main vein beyond the limits
of the old workings and on the 932-
foot level.
Reports from the Copper Noun
tain property have been more en-
couraging of late and lessees on
blocks near the company workings
have resumed shipping ore of excel
lent grade to the smelters. Two
working shafts are being sunk by
the Jumbo Extension company
while lateral development is in
progress from a third shaft 1t is
expected that the shafts now being
sunk will reach the ore-bearing
contact zones within the next week
or two and at points where large
areas of stopping backs will be made
available on ore-channels that have
shown quantities of good ore nearer
the surface.
The Jumbo Extension company
has been in the market for some
time for a property justifying de-
velopment and Consulting Engineer
j. X. Turner has examined a num-
Der of properties that have been
offered for sale. Two or three OF
these properties are still under con
sideration, but the company has
been banking chiefly on the Cop
per Mountain property, which has
already made substantial produc-
tion of high-grade shipping ore and
which is regarded as giving promise
of developing into a copper mine of
great value.
