sought only to expose ore of high
grade, then the only product mar
ketable. ignoring the presence of
large deposits of mill ore of excel
lent quality which have since been
shown to constitute the really de-
Consolidated Mayflower Co.
Appraised as one of the most
valuable mines in southern Nevada,
the Mayflower mine, with a large
amount of development work per-
formed and with mill of substan.
tial capacity and complete mining
equipment, was closed down as a
result of internal difficulties and liti-
cation, after it had produced bull
lion in large quantity. During the
past year control of the company
was acquired by w. j. Tobin and
associates and the company was re,
organized on the assessable stock
basis and active development worA
was resumed on all main levels and
in new territory.
The result of this work has been
to place in sight considerable
and manager Tobin is pushing for
ward the development work as
rapidly as possible and pow has
the hosting engine, compressor and
other mine equipment in the best of
working order. His efforts will now
be devoted to the blocking out of
ore for the mill.
In recent report Mr.. Tobin
states that good ore has been open
ed and is ready for Stopping at four
points in the property, this ore be-
ing an excellent milling product,
some of which could be sorted for
shipping. New track has been laid
in tn. mine, ore chutes have been
built, air and water pipelines have
been repaired and extended and the
mine is now in first-class working
condition.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to put the company's mill in
operation as soon as necessary al
terations and improvements can be
made, after which the company will
be in a position to make regular
shipments of bullion to the mint.
Mine development, Mr.. Tobin states,
will be pushed rapidly on the first,
second, third and fourth levels of
the Mayflower main shaft, and on
the 300-foot level drift is to be
extended to connect with the Star
light shaft, where ore of excellent
grade has been exposed in good
quantity. Plans now being put in

RED Ht[L BEGINS
SHAFT WORK
At DEPTH
ED ON 7OO-FOOT
LEVEL

The working force of the Red Hill
Florence mine has been largely in
creased and the mine is to be open
ed at once down to the 700-foot lev
ell, with extensive development
work at both the 900 and 700-foot
points. During the week II min
ers were added to the force and two
new shifts were put to work in the
shaft, clearing and retimbering it to
the 700 level. Working stations
will be cut on the 600 and 700-foot
levels
There is to be no interruption
or change in the development work
now progressing on the 500-foot
level and on intermediate levels
opened from raises above this level.
This work has been directed to the
carrying out of systematic plan
of development, and up to the pre-
sent time much of it has been dead
work, necessary as preliminary to
opening parts of the main vein and
of the two principal cross veins
where it was believed the best re-
suits could be obtained.
Plans for the opening of the mine
at deeper levels, from the main
8O0-foot shaft, were announced sew
eral months ago, but it was deemed
good policy to complete the work
to the present stage before under
taking the work on lower levels.
The property is equipped with ma

foot level of the Atlanta nine is
making rapid headway, with the
aid of powerful equipment and the
new high-capacity sinking pump.
Quartz is still showing in the
winze and it is regarded as possible
that this condition may continue
down to the shale and that pay ore
may be found in commercial guam
tity at the contact below this point.
1t is now estimated that another
ten days or two weeks will see the
completion of the station and sump
at the 1900-foot level, with the
east cross-cut in progress toward the
main vein at the east, upon which
point the greatest expectations are
now centered.

the adjoining Jumbo Junior work
ings, at a depth of $40 feet. Work
had been impeded to some extent
before this connection was made,
owing to bad air, but will now be
pushed forward in both the north
ern and southern parts of the prop
erty. Pay ore has been found in
both these sections and Manager
Darcy will now proceed to drive
raises and cross-cuts for the pur-
pose of exploring the vein and its
walls in the most thorough manner.

The winze from the 1017-foot
level is continuing to follow down
the flat dip of the main lode and is
now far below the surface of the

KLONDYKf DISTRICT COMES
TO FRONT AGAIN AS
RICH PRODUCER

The Klondyke mining district, ly-
ing halfway between Goldfield and
Tonopah. was widely known long
before either of these world-re-
nowned camps was discovered. In
point of fact, the opening of these
districts and the intense mining &C
tivity and colossal production of
precious metals in southern Nevada,
dating from the discovery of To-
nopah, are all the direct result of
earlier developments at Klondyke.
The story is familiar of how Jim
Butler, on one of his trips to the
Klondyke district, found the rich
surface ore that led TO the opening
of the great mines of Tonopah and
how the same pioneer prospector
"staked" the men who discovered
Goldfield.
With no accurate records avail
able to show the total production
Of the Klondyke district, it is es.
timated among the best informed
that the output of shipping ore and
of gold from early placer workings
has been several hundred thousand
dollars. Some 40 years ago the
dry creek beds were worked BY
Cinnamon, is an intensive manner,
and the production of placer gold
is known to have been large from
this source.
Quartz mining operations follow
ed later, with the result that high
grade silver ore was shipped in large
volume and pay ore was exposed at
many points Development work
for the most part was confined to
workings near the surface, where
the greater part of the ore was
stopped from tunels, and while con-
siderable quantities of excellent
mill ore were exposed. the absence
of reduction facilities in the district
precluded efforts to handle any but
the richest ore, in view of the low
price of silver.
While little has been heard of
the Klondyke district in recent
years, development work has been
few points and, stimulated by the
advanced price of silver, the district
has again assumed important rank
amonl the producers of the metal.
Ore that could not be markete1 with
silver at SO cents is now yielding
high returns and the Klondyke ore,
highly silicious product, is in de-
mand at the smelters and secures a
low treatment rate.
Mining operations now is Drog-
ress in the district are on more
extended scale than any undertaken
in the past and for the first time
the ore-channels are TO be explored
in a comprehensive manner at
depth. One widely recognized fea-
ture of the ore deposition in the
district is the uniformly large size
and continuity for long distances of
the orebodies, which appear in every
case to lie within well-defined walls,

Marinette-Nevada Mining Co.
Development work has been in
progress for some time past OH the
property of the Marinette-Nevada
Mining company, but is now being
pushed forward on a broader scale
and the production of shipping
grade ore is now in progress. The
road to Klondyke station on the
Tonopah e Goldfield railroad, three
miles distant, has been repaired and
put in condition for heavy hauling
and ore of shipping grade, amounted

1t has been pointed out that for the
present the failing treated is likely
to be the least valuable in the big
pond, as that of higher grade, re-
sulting from the company's milling
operations in earlier years, is GOV
cred to a considerable depth by the
lower grade failing of later years
The usual large amount of develop
ment work is being performed in
the various mines of the company
and a large number of leases are in
operation at various points.

The Charles Town Spirit says that an
unsuccessful attempt was made 10 burn
down the plant Of the Charles Town
Water and Manufacturing Company one
night recently. Coal oil was sprinkled
plentifulIy over the door on the west side
OF the old mill next 10 the alley, and the
same was fired. A hole big enough 10
stick ones head through was burnt in the
door, but from some cause, probably the
dampness from the water in The mill, The
fire went out at this stage. The arson
was probably committed between mid
night and daylight, as Mr. Wilmington,
the night man at the plant, failed TO see
anything wrong in his last round made
about 1890. Detectives have been en-
ployed to ferret out the criminal, if pos
sible.

yelopments Is the announcement that
one Of tho largest banking institu-
tons In America concerned with for
rign trade, the Guaranty Trust Com
pany Of New York, has opened Paris
branch to handle the rapidly 1ncreas-
ing volume Of French business.
This action may surprise many per-
sons who had thought of France as
bowed under a calamitous invasion.
The bank, however, gives figures indi-
eating that France is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems with
a stout heart and never failing cour-
age, but Is re-establishing her export
business with this country.
In 1914, the year of the outbreak of
the War, imports from France to this
country totaled S141, 44G,252. This to-
.al was reduced to $77,15S,740 in 1915,
but last year the value of French i'm
ports to the United States rose to S102,-
OI7,O60.
"A nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravished by the invader"
