The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-11-24

by the Tonopah Extension Mining
company this week. The flow from
the water courses, which ensued in
heavy volume when the Merger
vein was broken into at this level.
has decreased to such a degree that
very little interference has been
caused and the difficulties expert
enced in previous weeks have been
lessened considerably.
The better conditions have en-
abled the company to start the
actual work of drifting on the
Merger vein, and during the week
progress has been made on the
hanging wall side of the orebody,
proving it to be continuing at a D.
foot width and still holding it's good
grade milling values.
Elsewhere i'll the mine there has
velopment work was extended. while
the Slopes are maintaining the gem
eral satisfactory averages of widths
and values as production work con-
tinues.
The report in detail is, therefore,
much the same as those that have
been made in previous weeks, with
the exception of the reports as to
footages, in which a gain of about
- root L., chou, oun, th,t o;,n,,
out last week. In the No. 2 sec
ton of the mine, 164 feet of devel-
opment work was done. and in the
Victor mine S5 feet, making a total
of 249 feet, as compared With the
222 feet made in the underground
workings of the Extension mine in
the proceeding week.
The advances in the several
workings of the Extension mine in
the preceding week.
The advances in the several
workings, and the conditions dis
closed therein, are fully covered in
the following detailed report of
operations for the past week.
At the No. 2 shaft territory, on
the 600-foot level, GOA raise was
continued on it's course, and prog
ressed a further distance of Is feet,
with no unusual change having oc-
Cured in physical conditions, the
top of the raise advancing against
West End rhyolite throughout this
distance.
On the 660-foot level, the regular
stopping operations were carried on
a, the Murray vein, which continues
to hold it's width of 4 feet, the
product being SEN to the mill as
milling grade ore.
On the 750-foot level. the only
work in progress during the week
was by way of stopping, also on the
Murray vein; and at this depth at
is being done, the vein is likewise
4 feet in width and carries values
OF milling grade.
On the S50-foot level, the pro-
duction work was continued on the
Murray vein, and the usual yield
was made from the same width of
vein hat is being worked on the
levels above, namely, 4 feet, with
the grade practically the same as
OF those levels.
MacNamara Mine
The most important development
having relation to mining opera
tions in the MacNamara Mining and
Milling company property occurred
during the week, when the miners
bi oke into the eastern segment of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Ohio vein
within the boundaries of the Mac
Namara company. The manage
ment has been engaged in explor-
ing for the extension of the Ohio
vein east of the boundary line for
to suspend work last week because
OF inadequate equipment for the
purposes in view.
During the present week, the
heavier equipment which had pre-
viously been used on the level be-
low was brought to the raise from
| the 500-foot level, and operations
diligently prosecuted, in order tina
ed for the sought-for orebody. The
raise has advanced for IL feet
through the ore, and all this width
OF vein shows high grade values.
The vein is in place, and as yet
the hanging wall has not been
reached. AS soon as that is found,
& drift will be started towards the
