The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-12-22

Labor commissioners of Nevada
and California are in Reno untang-
ling the proceedings under which
AZ working men of San Francisco
and Sacramento were sent to the
Utah Construction company's camp
near the Nevada line. The men
are said to be without employment
and without funds with which to re-
turn to California. 1t is also said
that the fares of the men, were paid
to the Nevada line, which is taken
as evidence hat they were sent for,
and that when they arrived some of
them we're given half a days work
and dismissed, either receiving 10
cents compensation or owing the
company 40 cents for their board.

Continued from Page One)
of ore of this character has been
placed in sight.
More important to the company
than this ore, however, in the opin-
on of Consulting Engineer Turner
and President Charles S. Sprague,
is the large tonnage of high-grade
concentrating ore, carrying from
three to six per cen copper, that is
being opened in development work
conducted from three shafts and in
extending the old lease workings.
Test shipments of this ore have been
made, with a view to ascertaining
the most efficacious process for it's
treatment, and it is apparent that
good results can be obtained at low
cost by either oil f~lotation or water
concentration. A corporation known
as the Jumbo Copper Mountain Min
ing company has been organized TO
take over and operate this property.

vein. 1t is realized that the condi-
ton here may parallel that in con-
nection with the same vein farther
to the south, in the Jumbo Extern
sion property, where what at first
was supposed to be a flat segment
of the vein proved to be a separate
ore-channel, extending along the
contact zone between the latte and
shale, while the main vein has since
been shown to continue, in the form
of a great fissure, into the shale,
without apparent change in dip or
size.
Up to the present time the devel-
opment work in this part of the
Kewanas property has not been of a
character calculated to produce re-
suits of any great importance, but
hereafter it will be extended in such
a manner as to explore and prove
up the character of wide areas of
ground that is generally regarded
as holding promise as great as n
unexplored territory in the entire
district.
Operations are to be resumed in
the northern part of the property,
where the results of earlier work
we're highly encouraging, but lack OF
good ventilation retarded progress.
At several points in this ground,
500 feet north of the main station,
ore of high grade was exposed in
commercial quantity, in addition to
a considerable quantity of good flo
tation ore. From the main north
drift, at a point 500 feet from the
winze and on the S40-foot level, a
cross-cut was extended east about
500 feet and a raise from this cross
cut, less than 200 feet from the
drift, exposed a full face of ship
ping ore, yielding high assays in
gold and copper. With improved
ventilation here there are good
prospects of opening large deposits
of pay ore, in the opinion of those
who are familiar with the mine.

resulted in opening ore of shipping grade, in limited volume,
but with good prospects of a profitable output.
Grandma Consolidated
Operations of the Grandma company were confined to
sinking the main shaft, which attained a depth of nearly 800
feet, on its way to the shale contact zone. Seams and boulders
of quartz have appeared at intervals and in this territory, ad-
joining the kewanas on the east, the possibility of cutting an
important vein at any depth is generally recognized.
Jumbo Junior Mine
Several small bodies of high-grade ore have been ex-
posed in work at a depth of $50 feet. The most promising
find was reported within the past fortnight, in a Wine below
this level, showing Is inches of ore that has been yielding
assays from 800 to $3.50 per ton. Air conditions have been
improved by the connection with the Kewanas workings at the
north.
Spearhead Gold Go.
Drifts have been advanced north and south of the
shaft on the 9i0-foOt level, in the contact zone, and have eX-
posed large quantities of gold-copper ore of milling grade.
Some shipping ore was found lately, upon connecting with the
old Wheeler lease workings at the 250-foot level, where rich
ore was found several years ago.
Properties to Resume
Several of the mining companies that have been inactive
during the year are planning a resumption of work as soon as
conditions are favorable. The Lone Star Consolidated has been
literally financed and will start work at a point where pay
ore was exposed near the surface. Reports are current invOlv-
ing the c. Q. ID. Consolidated in plans for renewed activity, and
there are prospects for early resumption by the Orc, Diamond
field, Vernal and others.

NOVEMBER WAS
WARM MONTH
RECORDS FOR PAST TWENTY
NINE YEARS WE'RE
BROKEN

The report of the Nevada section
of the weather bureau says of the
month of November:
November weather was pleasant.
The temperature was high and
steady, the sunshine and wind
movement were normal, and there
was less than the usual amount of
moisture. The average tempera-
ture fell below normal for only a
few days during the month. The
highest monthly temperatures rang
ed from 81 at Marlette Lake, a
mountain station in the southwest
portion of Washoe county with an
elevation of 1900 feet, to Sc at
Las Vegas.
The temperature did not fall to
zero at any station, the lowest re-
corded being 1 deg. at Quinn River
Ranch, in Humboldt county. There
has been only one November in the
past 30 years with a higher state
mean temperature, and that was
in 1894, when the mean was 43.7
degrees. The precipitation was gen.
orally below normal.
The monthly mean temperature
for the state, a shown by the
records of 80 stations, was 43.4 de-
grees.
The ideal autumn weather was
favorable for farm work, except
that it was too dry in a few To-
calities for blowing, seeding, and
the termination of fall sown grain,
The condition of winter wheat and
barley was reported to be excel
lent at the close of the month. The
warm weather with few stormy days
was beneficial to cattle and sheep on
ranges and in winter feeding quar-
tiers, as less FEED was required to
keep them in good condition and
much hay was conserved for future
use. While ranges were short and
dry in restricted areas, stock was
generally in good condition.

Snow on Summit

After battling all day and night
through what they claim to be n
OF the worst snow storms they ever
met. members of a recruiting party
succeeded in getting over the sum
nit from Auburn to Truckee in an

said they believed it would be i'm
possible for another car to pass over
the summit and they claimed the
distinction of driving over the last
car of the winter.

Great Bend Mine
SandStOrm-kendall Cons.

Development work was conducted without interruption
during the year, on levels above the 350-fOot point, and while
many good assays were obtained from seams and StringerS OF
ore, no deposits of commercial value were found. Late in the
year a decision was announced to grant leases covering parts
of the older workings and a number of applications for leases
were received, indicating that the coming year will be a period
of greater activity on the property.

not long ago passed a resolution
closing saloons in the county from
midnight to 6 a. m. and the action
of the council is an extension of
this order.

timbered with Oregon pine timbers
to the 256-foot point.
The new six-drill compressor is
on its foundation and the motor Is
now being set in place for driving
the compressor. The building COW
ering the compressor is completed.
The company operations should be
through the Earl shaft by Jan. 1
unless something unforeseen comes
up. At present one shift is being
employed in the Earl shaft timber
ing and one shift of miners is work
ng from the Bath shaft, which has
been the company shaft for the past
two years.
OF interest to all Union Amalga-
mated stockholders is the formal no.
! tice calling for special stockhold-
ers' meeting on 18th of December to
vote on recognizing the company
into an assessable corporation. This
is as it should be, and the only
mining will be started east as soon
as the stump is completed, within
the next four days. The drift east
will follow the formation bedding
planes and it's object will undoubt-
eddy be the blue White Caps lime
stone belt, similar to the limestone
which has carried the great pre-
bodies developed by the White Caps
company.
Manhattan Consolidated
In the Consolidated property,
work is now being carried on in
cutting a station at the bottom
level, preparatory to the starting
of the shaft sinking. In addition
to the station a stump back in the
drift is being cut, to hold the water
accumulating during the shaft sink
! ing. From this stump, the station
pump will handle the water direct
to the surface.
A new pump has been purchased
by the company for installation. A
5 by s Gould triplex is the style
pump and it will handle 100 gallons
of water per minute at a 50O-foot
head which is nearly three times the
average amount of water so far en-
countered in the mine. The miners
have been taken out from the devel-
opment of the east orebody from the
400 level. The present dimensions
of the east ore shows a strength of
! 125 feet for the orebody. The La
ten feet the ore has been narrowing1
down until the face of the drifN
only shows three feet of ore.
Red Top Mining Co.
The Red Top Company has COM
menced lateral development work.
Drifting along the formation bed
ding planes will be developing some
very promising ground in the work.
AS mentioned some time ago., the
company holds a lease from the
Union Amalgamated Mining COM
pany on a portion of the Granny
mining claim which side lines the
Red Top property to the east not
far from the present Red Top
operating shaft.
The lateral work just started will
probably be continued into the lease
hold ground as several surface
stringers carrying gold ore have
been uncovered on the Granny claim
and the present underground devel-
opments may prove that these
stringers are but off-shoots from an
important orebody. The Red Top
property is in a very favorable To-
cation as on all sides ore bodies
have been exploited notably from
the Big Chief and Dexter Union
properties directly west and adjoin-
ing.
