KEMANAS RAISING
TO CUT VEIN
IN SOUTH
SEAMS OF GOOD ORE ARE En-
POSED IN CROSS
CUT

The greater pant of development
work of the Reorganized Kewanas
company has lately been confined to
the southern workings, where long
cross-cut is being driven to the
southeast on the the S40-foot level,
cutting diagonally through the great
vein, which lies at a rather flat an
gle here. Interest now centers upon
the point where this cross-cut will
reach the hanging wall. as this prob
ably will mark a most likely point in
the shale contact zone and the ut
most confidence prevails that deposits
of pay ore will be found here.
Many seams of good ore have been
exposed in driving through the great
zone of vein matter, but most of
these seams have been too narrow to
render the extraction of ore profit
able under present conditions. In
the extreme southern part of the ke-
wanas, farther to the southwest than
the point where the company is
working, some ore or shipping grade
and in promising quantity has been
exposed in the territory under lease
to the Jumbo Junior company and in
a greatly faulted zone.
The fault appears to cut across the
country to the southeast, breaking
the vein at an oblique angle and eX-
tending from the Kewanas into the
adjoining Jumbo Junior ground at
tie south. Ore of high grade has
been found in close relation to this
fault, in both properties, at points
over $50 feet apart.
Near the southeast extremity of
the long cross-cut in the Kewanas
a raise has been started and it is
Manager D'Arcy's intention to ex-
tend this raise to the hanging wall of
the vein.
In addition to serving as a means
of prospecting the hanging wall zone,
this raise will afford an indication
of the position and dip of the wall
and the distance it will be necessary
to extend the cross-cut on it's present
course to reach the wall The best
ore has been found on the hanging
wall side of the vein in adjacent
territory and there is good reason
to believe that the work now in
progress will meet with favorable
results.

ATLANTA W|NzE
IS BEING SUNK
EQUIPMENT Is INSTALLED TO
SINK TO 2OOO-FOOT
LEVEL

Sinking is already in progress
from the 1750-foot level of the At
ianta mine and the wiring for the
compressor and electrically driven
hoist, installed over the winze, will
be completed and the winze has
been sunk to a depth sufficient to
avoid danger to the sinking plant
from blasting. The new hosting
engine is in place and the COM
pressor is being installed.
Work at other points in the mine
has been practically suspended of
late, as the entire force has been
required in some department of the
work of preparing to sink the deep
winze, which will be extended to
the 2000-foot point, with laterals
driven to explore the great Atlanta
vein on the 1900 and 2000-foot
levels.
The new winze has been started
some 25 feet west of the foot-wall
of the big vein, in the country rock,
which is latte here. A station of
large dimensions, Is sets of tim
bers in length, has been prepared
and everything is now in readiness
to make rapid progress in sinking
The winze is vertical and will be
still farther from the vein at lower
levels, but will be well out of the
course of water channels and the
vein will be reached by cross-cuts
of no great length, as the vein
stands at a rather steep incline
here.

NEW WORK ON
IN SANDSTONE
DRIFTS FOLLOW MAIN VEIN
AND CROSS-CUT GOES
EAST

Development work of more than
ordinary interest is now being car
ried forward vigorously in the prop
erty of the Sandstorm-Kendall Con-
solidated company, on two levels. In
Sandstorm territory a long drift was
extended on the main vein, at a
depth of $50 feet, to a point nearly
below, on the incline of the vein,
the old workings of the early-day
bonanza leases. which produced a
large tonnage of high-grade shippins
ore from Slopes extending to a
depth of only about 20 feet
From a cross-cut at this level a
vertical raise was extended to again
cut the vein at a depth of about
260 feet and drifts were again start
ed at this level, with the inten-
tien of later continuing T. raise to
connect with the old lease slopes,
in which pay ore is known to have
been left in sight when the old
leases expired by limitation. A
raise was also driven to connect
with the old Kruger shaft, where
soT', good ore was found years ago
Drifts are now being advanced
Eorth and south on the 260-foot
level, following the main vein, and
a cross-cut is being extended to
cut the Kruger vein, lying east of

JUMBO EX. NOW
SINKING VINE
IMPORTANT WORK is IN PROG
RESS AT BOTTOM
LEVEL

Satisfactory progress is reported
in the work of sinking deep incline
winze from the 1O17-foot level of
the Jumbo Extension mine, follow
ing the main lode on it's course into
the shale. At the point where this
work was started, under the d.
raise, the vein is in the shale and
some ore of excellent grade was ex-
tracted here, but the naturalization
at this point was found to be more
widely scattered than in the vein on
levels above or in the shale contact
zone

series of raises driven from the long

foot level. to open up and facilitate
the extraction of the bonanza shale
contact orebody The contact zone,
following along the surface of the
shale. forms a separate ore-channel
and the vein itself has not been ex-
plored below the 1917 level. The
object of the new winze is to follow
the vein to depth. into the shale and
to or into the alaskite, and to pros
pect the contact zone between the
shale and alaskite
Development work has been pro-
crossing at other points in the mine,
but of late there have been no re-
suits of special interest. and it is
probable that with further depth
gained in the new winze, nearly all
the company's efforts in connection
with the development of its local
property will be devoted to the work

BLUE BULL co.
IN NEW GROUND
NOW EXPLORING TERRITORY
WORKED UNDER LEASE
BY SIMNiERONE

A new system of development
work, involving the exploration of
ground that has attracted much in
terest in the past. has been put in
operation on the property of the Re-
organized Blue Bull company. Man
ager Darcy has lately started work
on the northern part of the proper
ty, on that part of the Zig ella m
that was formerly operated under
lease by the Goldtleld Simmerone
Mining company. Tie lease expired
some time ago and plans for the
idrther opening of this ground ha re
been under consideration by the
several months.
In the early days of the camp
some ore of exceeding ingh grade
was produced from workings near
the surface on the adjoining SIM
merone property, in a vein which
was later followed by that company
into Blue Bull territory, and some
ore of good grade was exposed in
the latter ground. to a depth of
about $50 feet, but chiefly nearer
the surface.
Excepting for the limited amount
of prospecting done by the Simmer

MILL IS READY
At H0RNS|LvER
MODERN PLANT TO BEGIN
TREATING ORE BEFORE
LONG

The completion of the pipe line
to HOrnsilver will be the signal for
placing in operation the new 200
ton reduction plant of the Silver
mines Corporation. which owns and
is operating the Great Western mine
and has lately completed the con-
struction of a modern cyanide plant.
The last consignment of redwood,
wire-bound pipe has arrived and the
time is approaching when the water
will be turned through the eight and
one-half miles of pipe and the crush
ers will start feeding ore to the ball
mill.
Manager S. Fl. Brady visited the
mine during the week and expects
to be present when the treatment Of
ore begins. 1t is also expected that
Charles A. Stoneham of New York,
who has been chiefly instrumental in
financing the enterprise, will visit
the property in the near future. The
mill is now complete in nearly eve'v
detail and will be operating at ca
pacity before long, as a large ton
mage of ore is already available in
the mine workings and on dumps.
Conditions in the mine have
shown marked Improvement under
recent development work, on various
levels above the 400-foot point. and
the visible ore reserves are said to
have been greatly augmented in re-
cent months. The incline shaft. now
being sunk on the main working
shaft, is nearing the 500-foot point
and will be continued to the perma-
nent water level. In building its
mill it was the plan of the company
to provide sufficient capacity to
treat custom ores from other mines
in the district. but according to re-
ports il may be possible to supply a
capacity tonnage from the company's
mine.

SILVER ORE FOUND
IN CLAIM OWNED
BY GRANDMA
PROPERTY IN GOLD MOUNTAIN
DISTRICT HAS GOOD
SHOWING

Silver ore of high grade has been
exposed on claims owned by the
Grandma Consolidated Mines COM
pany and situated in the Gold
Mountain district, adjoining the
property of the Butte Goldfield
company. Some ore of excellent
grade was extracted from this
ground several years ago, at depth
of about so feet, and shipped to a
mill for treatment, being found to
contain an average of about 200
ounces silver per ton.
The property is traversed for over
1000 feet by a large vein, which
crops boldly at the surface and in
which pay ore has been found at a
number of points. Recent prospect
ing at the surface has revealed ore
shoots that were not known to
exist heretofore, while ore remain
ing on the dumps from old work
ings has been found to contain sill
yer in commercial quantity. The
company will begin shortly to do
some prospecting on this ground, in
the hope that commercial deposits
of ore will be found.
Several short tunnels have been
driven on this property, resulting
in the opening of pay ore at several
points and demonstrating the pre-
sence of a cross vein in which pay
ore was found at two points.
shaft was sunk to a depth of 65 feet
at a point where the cross vein in
tersects the main lode and ship

extracted from stope within a
short distance of this shaft, while

the vein, exposed ore of good grade.

This property is situated about
a mile and a half from the Willow
Springs camp, where there is a
bountiful supply of water, and lies
on a line nearly between the old
Granite Mountain and Randolph
mines. Some development work is
in progress in the immediate vicinity
and prospecting is going forward on
three properties adjoining the
Grandma company's claims.
On the company's local property
the main shaft is making satisfac-
tory progress and is now we'll past
the 5OO-foot point. 1t is the plan
of the company's directors to con-
tinue sinking to the shale contact
zone, where a large amount OF
lateral development work will be
conducted.

RED HILL vein
LOOKS BETTER
PAY ORE NOW IN SIGHT IN
RAISES FROM 500
FOOT LEVEL

Work that has been in progress
lately in the Red Hill Florence
property, designed to explore the
main Florence vein in this territory,
has resulted in exposing some ore
of good grade in raises above the
5Oe.foo level and conditions in the
mine are now regarded as most en-
courag'ng. One raise from the 500
foot level, driven about so feet YER
ticaiiy, has shown good quantities
of pay ore.
Another raise was driven to about
the same height and a drift was
extended to the cross vein, which
has trend nearly at right angles
to the main lode. Here another
raise is being driven, following the
incline of the cross vein, and this
raise has continued to show ore
from which excellent assays have
been obtained. Good headway is
being made in all this development
work, with the aid of one of the
best and most complete surface
plants in the entire district
Confidence in the success of this
work has been stimulated by the
fact that exceedingly rich ore has
been opened just east of this point,
in ground being worked under lease
on the Florence company. All work
ings of the Red Hill Florence, how
ever. are well within the com
pany's ground. the most easterly
being at least 60 feet from the
boundary line. indications now
point to the early blocking out of
sufficient ore to start a regular
and profitable production.

have to be extended further in the
direction of the fault to develop
the entire ore body. The Swanson

about Is feet south on the fault

been cut in the progress OF this work
and the vein here is shown to be

belief that important orebodies will
be found in further exploration.

feet below the third level a dis
tance of 2S feet having been made
during the week since last report.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to carry the shaft down 10 to
20 feet deeper so that a good sump
can be made, and then start the

Announcement of the fruition of
plans for carrying out important
WORK along new lines at several
points in the district is the outstand-
ing news of the past week from the
mines of Goldfield. Companies that
have had little of interest to report,
for the reason that they have been
simply plugging along" at what
could only be classed as dead work,
are branching out and extending
their underground exploration in
virgin territory or into ground
known to contain veins of great
promise. The Sandstorm-K endall,
Blue Bull, Spearhead and Silver
p'ck companies are conspicuous
among those extending the scope of
their work.
Other companies are formulating
plans for similar expansion, while
still others are approaching the point
where their efforts are likely to pro-
duce concrete results. More than
ordinarily gratifying results of re-
cent work are reported from the
Great Bend, Kewanas, Jumbo Junior,
Red Hill Florence, Spearhead and
Cracker Jack properties, while re-
newed interest has been attracted to
leasing operations by the production
of a considerable quantity of ore of
bonanza grade from leased territory
on the Goldfield Consolidated and
Florence properties. The advance
in the price of silver has stimulated
interest in the group of claims owned
by the Grandma Consolidated COM
pany and situated in the Gold Noun
tain district, south OF Goldfield, on
which high-grade ore has been found.
GOldfield Consolidated
Operations on the big property of
the Consolidated Mines company
continue along established lines War
conditions have contributed in large
measure to the causes resulting in
a reduced bullion production and the
output of the past few months has
been the lowest in several years. A

plore the vein far below the surface
of the shale. In order to expedite
this work an electrically driven

have been installed over the winze
in a working station of large dimen-
sions, and the winze is already down

over 20 feet. The winze will be
sunk vertically, from a point in the
country rock west of the foot-wa.i,
in order to avoid the heavy flow of
water met with in the vein, which
is also the water channel. Progress
in sinking will be rapid from this
time forward.
ReOrganiZed Kewanas
New workings in the southern
part of the Kewanas property are
making a highly encouraging show
ing and the long cross-cut to the
southeast is apparently nearing the
hanging wall of the big vein, where
the management looks for the best
results. From this cross-cut raise
has been started for the purpose Of
