tilOu6H lHC mdA vein anu "
this point where the two veins form
a junction. 1t is at this point that
the company's engineers expect to
obtain concrete results.
Jumbo Extension
Sinking is in progress in the deep
winze of the Jumbo Extension, be-
low the 1017-foot or deepest main
level in the mine. The Wine has
been following the rather flat dip
of the vein, keeping a course les
tie hanging wall, but is nov being
turned to a sleeper angle to fol-
low the footwall, as the vein can
b.. explored to better advantage in
this manner A drift from the
winze, about rs feet below the 1917
level, has shown seams of ore of
excellent grade in a highly mineral
lied quartz zon The company's
Copper Mountain property is max
ing a good showing Of copper ore
and shipments are now being sent
forward to the smelter by motor
truck. Large bodies of concentrat-
ing ore are being blocked out and
the present output is said to be
more thar defraying all expenses.
Reorganized Kewanas
In the southern part of the Ke-
wanas property a drift advancing
to the south near the center of the
main lode, is nearing the point
where connection will be made, on
the S4O-foot level, with the north
elm workings of the Jumbo Junior
company, in ground leased by the
latter from the Kewanas and near
a point where ore of shipping grade
was exposed by the Junior COM
pany's work. After making this
connection the Kewanas company
will speed up its work in this ter
ritory, aided by the better ventila-
ton that will be afforded. The
east cross-cut from which this drift
was opened is progressing toward
the hanging wall and owing to the
flat position of the vein here, it
has continued in vein matter for a
long distance. Raises will be
driven from both drift and cross
cut to explore the hanging wall
country and locate the shale contact
zone.
SandstOrm-Kendall
1t is announced that leases will be
granted on the Sandstorm-Kendall
property, embracing parts of the
ground that have beer rendered cas-
lily accessible by the later company
workings on and above the 35O-foot
level. Applications have been re-
ceived from responsible mining men
for leases and the lease maps are
now in process of preparation for
this purpose. The main vein has
been opened for a long distance on
the 35O-foot level, while an inter-
mediate cross-cut on the 275-foot
level has been extended to the Kru-
ger vein and connected with the
Kruger shaft.
Red Hill Florence
Conditions in the Red Hill Flor
ence property afford greater promise
than at any time in the past. A
large tonnage of excellent mill ore
has been placed in sight and there
is reason to believe hat the entry
of the mine into the list of produc-
ers will not be long deferred. Work
on and above the 50O-foot level Is
opening up the main Florence vein
in a thorough manner and is being
extended to seek the continuation,
in the cOmpany's ground, of rich
ore-shoots that have been product
i've in adjoining territory.
Great Bend Mine
Ore of good average grade is be-
ing shipped from the Great Bend
mine, which is showing a product
of shipping grade at several points
on and between the 100 and 30O-foot
levels. A new stope is being opened
on the rich ore-shoot opened some
time ago just east of the main stope
on the 160-foot level and the raise
from the lower level, following up
the same ore-shoot, has connected
with the upper level. The main drift
on the 300-foot level is now APP
preaching the DR.. Lockhart lease
shaft, which opened a body of rich
ore near the east end of the prop
erty.
