EXPLORATION IN JUMBO EX.
MINE BEING CARRIED
TO GREAT DEPTH

Plans involving the exploration of
the main vein in Jumbo Extension
territory at great depth and far be-

nounced by Consulting Engineer
Turner a short time ago, have TAX

been started and that is now making
good progress. A winze is being
sunk from the bottom or 1017-foot
level, following the incline of the
vein, with the object of continuing
through the shale and well into the
underlying alaskite.
The point where this winze has
been started is below the 3D. raise,
which was driven from the 1017-foot
level and which was the fourth of a
series of raises driven to facilitate
the extraction of ore from the bonan-

foot level at this point is within
the shale and in the main vein,
where the latter penetrates the

an ore-bearing zone entirely separate

large deposits of pay ore will be
found when exploratory work is car

The most important develop
ments not alone for the Amalga-
mated but for the entire district
have been demonstrated since the
last weeks report. For the past
several weeks, the east drift from
the working shaft of the Anal
gamated on the 6O0-fOOt level has
been extended to catch the down
ward extension of the ore bodies
developed in the limestone belt
which crosses the Earl claim, one
of the constituents of the Anal
gamated. This drift has already
cut one of the three ore bodies de-
yeloped in the Earl above the $50
foot level. The Gaping of the vein
was encountered at point 622 feet
east from the shaft.
Assays taken from the face of
the drift shows average values
across the face of $3.50, and
higher values will no doubt be en-
countered after the vein has been
further developed. Previous TO
striking the ore, a heavy flow 1f

flow made a still greater increase
after the vein was uncovered.

At two points near the central
producing part of the district, but
separated by considerable distance
and surrounded by entirely differ
ent geological conditions, develop
ment work is now being carried to
great depth, with the object of ex-
ploring the main veins far below any
levels yet opened, through the sedi-
mentary shales and into the basic
alaskite or granite formation which
underlies all the igneous and sedl-
mentary rocks that have heretofore
been exposed. This work is pro-
crossing on the Atlanta and Jumbo
Extension properties, on both OF
which deep wines are being sunk.
Biologists who have made thor
ough study of conditions in the
Goldfield district have repeatedly
urged owners of the mines to sink
to great depth and have expressed
the opinion that orebodies of great
value would be found at depths far
below any yet attained. Attention

ever, to levels opened above the sur
face of the shale, as the rich ore
bodies that brought renown. to the
camp have been found above the lat
ter formation and the plea has al
ways been made that there were
still good chances for opening other
bonanzas at less depth without the
expense of deep sinking.
The work of this character that is
now going forward is regarded as
being of vital Importance to the en-
tire district, as it will serve as
guide to future operations at depth
and it can hardly fail, from indica-
tions at the present deepest levels,
to add materially to the ore resource
es of the mines.
Several developments of interest
have been reported during the past
week, in properties widely separat-
ed and at various depths. In the
extreme northern part of the district
ore of bonanza grade has been open
ed at a new point in the Great Bend
property, on the Diamondfield ridge,

H|GH-GRAOE IN
JUMBO JUNIOR
ORE Is EXPOSED AT NEW POINT
IN COMPANY
GROUND

Drifts on the bottom level of the
Jumbo Junior property are now
showing ore of excellent grade and
product is being saved for ship
ment from which good profit is
assured. Some of the assays, taken
across a width of from two to more
that three feet, have returned over
500 per ton in gold and at some
points the greater part of the ma
terial broken can be shipped pro-
fitably with little sorting. This ore
is in the company's own property
and not in leased territory.
Some time ago winze was sunk
from the main SS0-foot level, hut
the ore-channel at this point, which
apparently is the shale contact zone,
lies so nearly horizontal that fur
ther work here served only to la
rallel the cross-cut a short distance
above and with the difficulty of
handling water it was decided to
suspend work in the winze, while
driving to the north. The main
drift was then extended about $50
feet beyond the north boundarv
line, into territory leased from the
Kewanas company, and some ore
of excellent grade was exposed in
this ground.
In the progress of this work Il
fault or break in the main vein,
of considerable extent and mark
ing a highly mineralized zone, was
revealed, apparently cutting across
the vein diagonally, to the south
east, and causing the southern part
of the great lode to be thrown far
to the west. Upon determining the
course of this fault, by means of d
short drift and raise, Consulting
Engineer j. X. Turner directed that
work be resumed in the winze, far
ther to the south, and within a
short distance the fault-plane was
exposed and drifts were started
north and south in the vein.
This work has resulted in expos
ing ore of uniformly good grade,
the best ore being found in the
north drift The point where simi
lar ore was found farther to the
north, in the leased territory, is
over $50 feet distant from the
winze, and with conditions identica!
in both faces, it is regarded as rAa-
sonable to believe that profitable
extraction will be made from the
intervening territory and that the
Jumbo Junior will soon be upon d
substantial producing basis.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-09-15

to attain similar results, is now be-
ing carried forward on the Atlanta
property. .,nd the two undertakings
are REGARDED as being among the
most important to the entire district
of any that have been put in effect
here for several years.
At the point where the winze has
been started some prospecting was
done in earlier operations, by means
of drifts, but attention at the time
was directed to the extraction of
the high-grade ore in the contact
zone above, and at this depth the
ore appeared to be spotted and ir-
regular in value, although many
good assays were obtained here.
The theory is held generally that
conditions at this point were not
metals and that the mineralized So
lutions were more likely to precipi-
tate their metallic contents below
this level, farther from the broken
and already silicified zone marking
the contact. 1t is held that the the
ory of secondary enrichment may ap-
ply to the main lode at great depth
as we'll as nearer the surface and as
we'll as to the contact ore-channel.
From indications now available,
the vein appears to maintain dip
of about 80 degrees throughout,
while the contact ore-channel con-
tinuing along the surface of the
shale, flattens to the horizontal and
farther east rises in a ridge, similar
to that at the west and forming a
valley or elongated depression, ex-
tending in southerly direction.
The east side of this valley was
found to mark the limits of the
great contact orebody, from which

AN ACCOUNTING
AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM
ROYALTIES AND EXPENDED
ARE SHOWN

The third account of Receiver
Harry B. Clapp of the Florence
Goldfield Mining company relative
to the administration of the assets
of the company has been filed in
the district court.
The account shows that on Aug.
81 the receiver had on hand a cash
balance of $7,927.15 in bank. In
addition to this amount bills due
the receiver amount to $3,166.4S,
undeposited cash to $613.31 and
three cars of ore in transit to 81
900. The last item is royalty val
uation, the actual amount it is esti-
mated will be the receivers share
of the shipment.
From July l to August 3 the re-
port shows an amount expended OF
$16,056.51. This sum does not
represent operating expenditures
as it includes the amount paid by
the receiver to lessees as their share
of shipments, after deducting royal
ty and other charges.
The total gross value of ship
ments during the two-month period
amounted to $17,6S9. of which Is
per cent, or over $4,000, went to
lessees. This would leave the ac-
tual expenditures about $4,000.
The report shows three shipments
of over $4,000, one of $6,1S0.3S by

CRACKER JACK
PROGRESS GOOD
PAY ORE Is EXPOSED IN VEIN
ON THE BOTTOM
LEVEL

On the Cracker Jack property the
usual good progress has been maze
in extending the main east cross-cut
and the more easterly south drift
on the 320-foot level and the results
of this work have afforded no small
measure of encouragement. Ore of
medium grade continues to show in
the two drifts, following what is ap-
parently the hanging wall of the big
Columbia Mountain fault vein.
This ore presents features of un-
usual interest by reason of the va
riety of metals it contains. Gold,
silver, copper and zinc are all pres
ent in considerable quantity, the
most pronounced variation being in
the gold content. At some points
the gold assays have been sufficient
ly high to bring the product up to
an excellent shipping grade, but for
the most part the ore has been of
fair milling quality.
The presence of these metals, how
ever, and the general character of
the vein at this depth, lead to the
conclusion that further development
must result in exposing orebodies
of shipping value. The east cross
cut has now been advanced slightly
over 1000 feet from the shaft and is
thought to be nearing the Rabbit
and which has produced some rich
ore from workings near the surface

Conditions in ,he Great Bend

of good average grade is going for
ward regularly to the sampler. A
hfgh- h-erade product has been broken
in extending the new raise above
the 160-foot level. east of the main
stcpe. while the raise from the 800
foot level, designed to cut the same
ore-shoot, has been showing ore of
good shipping grade.
On the 300-foot level a cross-cut
is being extended far to the north
for the purpose of exploring the
orth vein, one of the three big
lodes that traverse the Diamond
field ridge in an easterly direction.
and this vein, according to its dip
nearer the surface, should be pene-
iratod within short distance. Some
good ere has been found in pros
Lecting this vein NEARER the surface.
Nc c.e has been broken lately in
the main stope above the 16O-foot
level The back and ends of this
stope are still in rich ore, some of
it assaying many hundreds of dol
lars ton and picked specimens
running above $1,000. Production
capacity, however, has been taxed
by the ore broken in development
work elsewhere. The raise east OF
the main stope was driven to de-
termine the extent of the orebody
in this direction and throughout its
length it has been producing ore of
shipping grade, while an additional
output has come from the deeper
workings.
This raise has served to block out
substantial tonnage of ore, as it
was started at point over 30
! feet from the big stope and it is
plain that it is in the main stope
orebody The latter has been open
ed by the stope for about 60 feet
above the main level on the in
cline of the vein and it is believed
that the ore-shoot will be found to
extend nearly to the surface.
Throughout this area the ship
ping ore averages around three feet
in width, making 1t eafy to extract,
with little timbering. In the pro-
gress of developing the high-grade
ore large tonnage OF good mill ore
has been placed in sight and if pre-
sent indications are horne out by
the work of the next few months,
the company will find it profitable
to erect mill and treat this pro-
duct on the ground.
