Mining operations continue on
substantial scale at many points
throughout the Goldfield district
and nearly everywhere with en-
couraging results. That the faith
of the larger operating companies in
the future of the district has not
been impaired is made evident by
the character of the development
work they are now conducting
which involves sinking at several
points to great depth and exploring
the main veins throughout extended
areas on their deeper levels. Work
that is regarded by expert authori-
ties as being fully as important as
any ever undertaken in the district
is now in progress, involving the
exploration of the main vein system
of the district far below the ig-
neous formations to which work has
been confined in the past.
War conditions have affected to
an appreciable extent the output OF
ore and mill products from the
Goldfield district, since the high
price of copper and silver has
flooded the market with ores and
products containing these metals
and the resulting congestion at the
smelters has greatly curtailed the
market for other ores, as well as for
mill concentrates. Until recently
even small shipments of ore and
concentrate found a ready market,
with prompt returns, but shippers
of these products must now await
their turn and often face the ne
cessity of paying heavy demurrage
charges on cars. owing to the inabil-
ity of the smelling companies to
handle their product
Activity in the stock market has
been diverted to some extent from
the gold mining issues to those pro-
ducing silver and the baser metals,
while the present oil boom has
claimed a large share of the trading
of investors and spectators, particu-
larly in the east. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the inevitable
swing back to the gold issues will
not be long delayed and it is noted
that in every year since the discov-
cry of Goldfield a marked revival
of interest in the Goldfield stocks.

which later produced over $1,000

in extending this level to the west a;

Beyond this fault, to the south

At number of points in the
Bullfrog, mining operations are
either we'll under way or will be in
progress shortly, under plans that
involve the opening of proved
ground on a broad scale and that
will probably lead to the installa-
{ on of independent power and ore
reduction plants. In several instan-
ces the work already started or
planned for an early beginning has
been financed on liberal basis.
In the PioEt er district n,rth OF

ground that has already produced
quantities of good ore and paid
large profits. Plans of the Pioneer
Consolidated Mines company, pre-
pared by President w. J. Tobin and
his associates, contemplate an en-
larged system of development work
and the opening of the ore-chan-
nels at grearer depth than has been
attempted in the past.
From workings above a depth of
$50 feet the Pioneer mine has al
ready produced approximately
100000, large part of which was
high-grade shipping ore, extracted
from slopes of great width. The
large amount of work performed
on various levels, exposing a num-
ber of well-defined ore-shoots, will
afford a reliable guide in carrying
forward the work at deeper levels.
Work on the Pioneer property
was conducted on a liberal scale
and without interruption from the
time when development was first
started. IL years ago, until recently
when the management was compell-

of good ore was mined in grour
adjoining the Silver Pick.
President Herman Zadig, upor

field during the week, inspected the
new workings and expressed the
opinion that the new development
would prove to be one of the frs
Importance. although 1t had not "
resulted in exposing any CONNER
cial deposits of ore. Some hig'
assays have been obtained he
one of them over $3.50 and tho

to Mr.. Zadig's statement, around

At the point now reached, accord
ing to Manager Dyer, the full face
of the drift is in ore of excellent
appearance, yielding occasional as
says that run into high shipping
figures, but generally maintaining
low average. The material looks
like high-grade ore and apparently
is of great width and has been fol-
lowed for a considerable distance.
1t is the plan of Manager Dyer to
continue exploring this ground by
means of drifts and to start raising
at once to explore the vein above

Reports of greatly improved con

the Spearhead Gold Mining com
pany's property are borne out in
statements made by President
George Kernick, who has been in
Goldfield for several days and who
expresses satisfaction over the com

considerable distance the south
cross-cut has been in ore assaying
from $40 to SIS per ton in gold
and copper and containing lunches
of good size that yield assays up
to $40 or $50 per ton.
This work is progressing at
depth of go feet, apparently at the.
bottom of the shale contact zone

nearly adjoining the Spearhead on
the west, the richest ore was found
in the upper part of the contact
zone, next to the latte.
These facts have been kept i'm
mind by President Kernick and
Superintendent Bruce and it is their
plan to drive raises from this level
to explore the latte side of the
contact zone. The drift has been
inspected by several local mining
men, who pronounce the showing
of ore encouraging and declare that
it should lead to the opening of
large deposits of ore of commercial

NEW FIND NEAR
ST|MLER CAMP
HIGH-GRADE GOLD ORE Is
OPENED AT SILVER
CAMP

An incipient mining stampede has
been in progress for the past day
or two here, the objective being a
reported new gold discovery in or
near the Stimler district, about IL
miles west of Silver Peak Within
the past few days a prospector at
Stimler camp is said to have ex-
hibited specimens of ore showing
a liberal sprinkling of free gold,
but no information could be obtain
ed up to yesterday as to the locality
where the ore was found.
Several Goldfield men left by
auto Monday and another group is
said to have started late the same
night, having received word that the
discoverer had consented to reveal
the particulars of his find. The
district has attracted mining men
in considerable numbers lately,
ments in workings of the Nivloc
Mining company, operating the old
Stimler property.
This property is developed by
two shafts and in the incline shaft,
at depth of 165 feet, the miners
are said to have been breaking full
ly three feet of ore averaging above
$500 per ton. Hosting equipment
and an air compressor have been
provided for the main vertical shaft
which is down 445 feet, and the
company is planning the early CON
struction of a milling plant of good
capacity.

PREPARING FOR Big REVIVAL

Pioneer Consolidated, is again un-
der active development. The May
flower company has been recogniz-
ed and is now known as the Con-
solidated Mayflower Mines COM
pany. Under the new company's
management a large amount of de-
velopment work has been done,
with highly satisfactory results. Ir
earlier operations the Mayflower
mine has produced large quantities
of good milling ore, the average
value of which was above $14 per
ton.
The Mayflower has a well-defin-
ed fissure vein, which is readily
traced through the property for
1900 feet and which has been open
ed at several points. Four shafts
have been sunk on the property.
varying in depth from 100 to soc
feet. In sampling some of the ore
bodies exposed in recent work, aver
age assays have ranged from Sc tc
$50 per ton.
The property is we'll equipped
with mining and milling machinery.
The 15-stamp mill is operated by a
32-horsepower Fairbanks Morse
driving engine and the eight-drill
Ingersoll-Rand compressor is driven
by 90-horsepower Western gas
engine. The working force on the
Mayflower is to be increased i'm
mediately.
A large amount of work is being
conducted on the property of the
Sunset Mining and Development
company, the principal work now
being devoted to the Denver vein,
in which a large body of high-grade
ore has been exposed. Work is to
be started shortly on the Diamond
Bullfrog, where a well-defined vein
has been opened to depth of 400
feet
