Colonel Frank NJ. Hume Of Houlton
commanding the Second Maine Regimen
now doing outpost duty. in his campaigr
for recruits Thursday sent a copy of the
following letter to every registered guido
in the State
Headquarters, Second Infantry
Augusta, Me, May II, 1917.
Guides and hunters Of the Maine
woods are particularly desired as
sharpshooters in our regiment. We
have lust been authorised by the war
department to enlist 700 more men,
and SO far as is possible we want men
who are expert shots. The most use
full men Of the Canadian Expedition
airy Force have been the large body OF
guides who are employed as sharp
shooters. We feel that the guides
and hunters of Maine are as good
shots and as patriotic as those in
Canada.
ANY man who is sound physically
and between 10 aid As and Is years OF
age is eligible. The draft will go into
effect June 5. We believe that you
prefer to volunteer rather than be
drafted. W. on YOU see tiie ieti uIllHo

Developments of the past week in
the Atlanta and Jumbo Extension
mines, far below former deepest
workings, have aroused the most
intense interest in mining circles
and are pronounced by some high
authorities to be of greater import
arce to the district than any that
have been recorded in period of
several years. Miners of wide ex-
perience have maintained from the
first that deep mining in GOldfield
would be brought about eventually
ard would result in proving the
continuation of enrichment at great
depth and extending into the under
lying granite, as demonstrated in
Cripple Creek and other gold min
ing districts.
This theory of deep enrichment
has been supported by opinions of
some of the foremost biologists of
the country, many of whom have
visited Goldfield and studied the
geology of the district. The granite,
or alaskite, as the granite under
lying rock is termed here, has been
exposed at number of points in the
district, but no mine workings have
yet reached point within the solid
alaskite This rock appears at the
surface on Vindicator Mountain and
is found at no great depth on Col
umbia Mountain, while tongues or
intrusions and small broken pieces
of the rock have been found in the
deeper workings of several local
mines.
The significant feature of recent
development at depth in the Atlanta
and Jumbo Extension properties
has been the discovery of pay ore
far below levels that at ore time
were believed to mark the limit in
point of depth of all enrichment. In
neither instance has this deep work
resulted in exposing large bodies of
ore of commercial grade, as the
work has only just reached the
point in both properties where con-
crete results could have been ex-
pected, but if present indications
are borne out by future work, to
the extent of opening commercial
ore at these deep levels, the out
come may we'll be a revival in min
ing activity second to none in the

and raises will then be driven to ex-
plore the point of contact between
the two veins. In cutting this vein
a considerable quantity of water has
made its appearance. but not in suf-
ficient volume to prevent sinking
Manager Darcy has provided
against any difficulty from this
source, however, and sinking pump
of ample capacity to meet all possi-
BILE needs will be installed shortly.
In the opinion of good authorities
there is every ground for the hope
that pay ore will be found in large
quantity when this big vein is ex-
plored below the present deepest
workings. The best ore exposed in
the Atlanta mine has been found in
workings on the 1750-foot level and
in shallow wines below that level,
affording evidence that this level
marks the top of zone of greater
enrichment than any yet opened in
the mine.
Further and even more convinc-
ing evidence of this condition is seen
in the new discovery in the deep
winze, as all indications point to
the main vein as the source of en-
richment in this foot-wall vein. On
and above the 1750-foot level de-
velopment work throughout an eX-
tended area has exposed great guam
titles of mill-grade ore, containing
gold, silver and copper. which will
ultimately yield large revenue to
the company, but for the treatment
of which facilities are now lacking.
Smelling ore has been shipped in
considerable quantity from the At
lanta mine, some of this product
having been sent to Utah smelters
at profit when copper was bring
ing only 13 cents pound.

gine and compressor were installed

in letter addressed to them by
President Charles S. Sprague, of n
plan to organize a separate cor
poration to take over and operate
the Copper Mountain property, which
is being developed under an option
of purchase by the Jumbo Exten-
sion company. Under this plan the
stock of the proposed Jumbo Copper
Mountain Mining company would be
made assessable and a stock divi-
dend would be declared. on the basis
of one share in the new company for
every share held by Jumbo Exten-
sion stockholders.
Mr.. Sprague's letter is as follows:
The Copper Mountain property.
which the Jumbo Extension COM
pany has under option. has been
developed to a stage where ore
exposures warrant the belief that
it will become a large and profit
able producer. Operations have
been carried on extensively and
increasingly on company account
and by leasers for a year or more.
and have reached proportions of
considerable magnitude.
Because of these facts and the
further consideration that the
Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany. which has been financing
the Copper Mountain operations,
should conserve it's cash resourc-
es for the further development OF
it's Goldfield property, which at
this particular time is presenting
such encouraging prospects, it is
deemed wise and prudent to seq
regate the Copper Mountain prop
erty and incorporate it into a new
company, that it's mining and cor
porate affairs may be conducted
as a separate entity.
With the foregoing in mind, the
directors of the Jumbo Extension
Mining company have planned to
incorporate company to be
known as the Jumbo Copper
Mountain Mining company, to
which the Copper Mountain prop
erty will be decided and all the
equities of the Jumbo Extension
Mining company therein trans
transferred.
The company will be incor-
porated for 100000 81 shares.
A stock dividend will be declared
and stockholders of Jumbo Ex-
tension Mining company will re-
ceive one share of the new stock
for every share of Jumbo Exten-
sion held. These shares will be

JUMBO OEXTENS|ON COMPANY
ISSUES AN IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT

Conditions revealed in the deepest
workings OF the Jumbo Extension
mine have been the sIDJect OF much
interested comment in mining cir
cles and many inquiries have been
received from outside sources regard
ing the new developments at depth.
The winze is still being driven, fol-
lowing the rather flat incline Of
the vein, and drift is being extend
ed from a point in the winze about
10 feet below the 1017-foot level
and continues showing low-grade ore,
accompanied by seams of high-grade
material.
This drift: has not yet reached the
point where the best reGults are to
be expected, but is being advanced to
reach point in line with the dip
of the main ore-shoot. The winze
was started Immediately below the
old I'd" raise, which was driven to
open the shale contact orebody and
to facilitate extraction from that
deposit, and is short distance south
of the trend of the main orebody.
The ore exposed in the new deep
workings is unlike any that has been
found elsewhere in the mine and
resembles a form of quartzite, al
though in places it is said to show
indications of the presence Of alas
kite. The vein at this depth is still
in the shale, however. as proved by
the results of core drilling a short
distance east of this point, and in
sinking the winze at this flat angle
it is not expected that the solid
alaskite will be penetrated for
considerable distance. 1t is regard
ed as certain, however, that the veia
will be found to continue far with
in the alaskite and there is no reason
to doubt that deposits of pay ore
will be found at far greater depth
than has yet been attained.
Stockholders of the Jumbo Ex-
tension company are being notified,

ORE SEAMS IN
KEWANAS DRIFT.
FAVORABLE INDICATIONS ARE
REVEALED IN SOUTHERN
TERRITORY

In the southern part of the Re
organized Kewanas company's pro-
perty development is being advan-
ced in two directions on the $40
foot level, in highly mineralized ter
ritory showing many seams of good
ore The main southeast cross-cut
has been advanced for over 200 feet
in the big vein or ore-channel and
is being extended to prospect the
hanging wall country.
The work has continued this dis
tance within the vein owing to the
flat dip of the latter and to the fact
that the cross-cut extends diagonally
through the vein. A drift is being
driven to the south, near the cen
ter of the great lode, and will b.
continued to make connection
with the northern workings of the
Jumbo Junior company, in ground
leased from the Kewanas and at a
point near where ore of excellent
grade was exposed by the Junior
company.
This drift has exposed seams OF
ore that assay high in gold and cop
per and it is apparent that this ter
ritory contains much ore than can
be treated eventually at a profit
When the connection is made with
the Junior drifts it is the plan OF
the Kewanas management to drive
series of raises to explore the
vein above this depth.

ing ore of good milling quality.
Little of the ore exposed is of

ing to open a substantial tonnage of

to yield a good revenue in future.

of high-grade material are regarded
as encouraging.

CRACKER JACK
STARTS RAISE
NEW WORK DESIGNED TO OPEN
BIG VEIN AT
EAST

The east cross-cut on the 32O-foot
level of the Cracker Jack property,
at a point about 100 feet from the
main shaft, has entered a highly
fractured zone and a raise will now
be driven to cut the Rabbit Irall
vein. This vein crops boldly at the
surface, where it has yielded good
assays, and apparently it has as
sumed flatter dip at depth, as 1t
was estimated by the company's en-
gineers that it's dip would bring 1t
within about 1000 feet of the shaft
at this depth.
Interest in the company's opera
tions in the immediate future is CEN
tered upon the opening of this veln'
and the projected raise will be driv-
en- for that purpose with all possible
speed. Good progress is assured IN
this work, as the management mas
installed a new stopping drill, whlch
is capable of breaking ground rapid
ly. particularly in raising.
During the past fortnight opera
tions were curtailed in scope to some
extent while repairs were being made
to the compressor, and everything is
again in readiness to proceed with

EXCELLENT GRADE
OF ORE FOUND
IN SUNSET
VEIN EXPOSED IN DENVER
WORKINGS YIELDING
GOOD ASSAYS

Reports from the property of the
Sunset Mining & Development COM
pany, near Rhyolite, indicate a
marked Improvement in the character
of ore exposed in the newer work,
particularly on the 45O-foot level
and in raises from the 500-foot level.
The main drift on the 450-foot level
is now showing full face of good
ore, with two feet assaying $500
and showing much free gold. Sam
Piles of the muck from the entire
width of the drift have been aver
aging around $24 per ton.
At this point the vein stands near
ly perpendicular and has a norther-
ly trend. 4 raise from the 50O-foot
level. at point 1873 feet south of
the shaft, has been completed to the
450-foot level, while another raise to
connect the same levels is being
driven OU leeI HOIIu VI tHS ollull I
and both of these raises have expos
ed the orebody found on the 450-foot
level. Drifts will be continued on
these levels and raises will be driven
at intervals of SO feet.
Some of the ore exposed recently
has the copper stain characteristic of
the richest ore of the district and is
similar in appearance to the high
grade material extracted from the
original Bullfrog mine. In other
parts of the property development
work has resulted in exposing a
large tonnage of lower-grade mill
ore, which can be sweetened and
brought to an excellent average
grade by the ore exposed in recent
work on the company's Denver
workings. All the ore broken in de-
velopment work is being placed on

BLUE BULL OPENS
H|GH-GRADE
DEPOSIT
FREE GOLD is VISIBLE IN
SPECIMENS FROM NEW
FIND

Ore of high grade has been ex-
posed in new workings of the Blue
Bull company, at a depth of about
100 feet and in the northern part of
the property, on the Pig claim. This
ore has been opened in extending
the drift that was driven into this
territory when it was under lease to
the Simmerone company and the ore
is similar in character to the rich,
highly oxidized material exposed in
the early-day operations of the Sim
merone company, when a high fence
was erected about the Simmerone
shaft to prevent the theft of high
grade ore.
Some ore of good grade was expos
ed by the Simmerone company in
Blue Bull territory less than two
years ago, but the company failed
to take advantage of good market
price for it's stock, to finance devel-
opment work, and a shortage of
funds caused the suspension of work
and the final REIMBURSEMENT of the
lease. A short time ago work was
started at this point by the Blue
Bull company, under the direction of
Manager A. I. Darcy, and the re-
suits have been decidedly encourag-
ing.
Samples of the ore from the new
workings are apparently rich, as the
soft rock is freely sprinkled with
fine gold. This ore is now being
saved for shipment and the present
showing encourages the belief that
the Blue Bull will shortly be ranked
among the producing mines of the
Goldfield district. The vein is well
defined and extends for long dis
tance within Blue Bull territory.
A rift on the 250-foot level has
reached a point not far from where

Ore has been found at depth of
1880 feet in the Atlanta mine and
although not exposed in CONNER
cial quantity, the discovery is gen.
orally regarded as one of the great
est significance and may prove to be
of vital Importance to the entire
Goldfield district. Some authorities,
in fact, pronounce this the most
notable development here in recent
years. The find was made a few
days ago in the winze that is being
sunk from the 1750-foot level. for
the purpose of exploring the main
vein on the 1900 and 20O0-foot lev
els.
At a depth of so feet below the
175O-foot level, the deepest point at
tanned in mine development in south
ern Nevada, the winze entered a
vein dipping at rather flat angle
to the east The winze is all in low
grade ore, containing seams of good
width that assay up to $40 per ton
in gold and copper. The discovery
was rather a surprise, as the winze
has been sunk in the country rock,
west of the foot-wall of the main
vein.
The main vein, which in places is
shown to be over 60 feet in width,
stands at a steep angle and has an
easterly dip. The winze was started
from the cross-cut on the 1750-foot
level, at a point about 25 feet from
the foot-wall and in the latte, in
order to avoid the water channels
that would render it difficult to sink
directly in the vein. From results OF
work farther west the company's en-
gineers have estimated that the
winze will enter the shale at a depth
of about 1900 feet, and it has been
the plan to drive cross-cut to the
vein at this depth.
In development work on the o.
foot level, considerable distance
to the west, separate vein was pen
ertated, but the cross-cut that was
extended through this vein, IN the
opinion of Manager Darcy and OF
others who are in touch with this
work, is the same one opened
farther west on the 1850 level,
which has assumed a flatter dip and
apparently forms a junction with
the main Atlanta vein at a depth
between 1850 and 1900 feet.
This condition apparently will
simplify the company's work and is
believed to materially improve the
prospects for opening valuable ore
bodies. The work will proceed as
planned, the winze being sunk first
to the shale, where a cross-cut will

SILVER PICKS
OUTLOOK GOOD
ORE OF GOOD GRADE SHOWN
ON 5OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Favorable reports continue to
come from the Silver Pick Consol-
dated property, where ore of good
grade is said to have been exposed
on the 5O0-foot level, at point
over 200 feet southeast by south
from the main shaft. A drift was
extended in this direction several
wears ago, soon after the shaft had
been sunk to the 50O-foot level, and
the present work consists of ad-
vancing this drift along the course
of the vein, which is believed to bc
the vein that has its apex farther
west on Silver Pick ground and
southwest on the January claim OF
the Goldfield Consolidated.
Specimens of high-grade are said
to have been taken from the new
workings recently and Manager Dyer
has reported the presence here of "a
least two feet of ore of good ship
ping grade, with a considerable ad-
ditional width that is of high mill
ing grade. Lack of specific infor-
nation regarding the company's as
says has aroused some question az
to the merits of the recent disccv-
cry, but it is generally conceded that
developments have been significant

at a depth of 80 feet from the main
level, which contains gold and cop
per in encouraging quantity through
out and shows seams of high-grade
gold-copper ore. This discovery has
been pronounced to be of vital i'm
portance, as the vein showed little
or no enrichment on the 175O-foOt
level, farther to the west, and 1t is
now believed that the main vein, to
the east, is the source of this en-
richment. This vein is of great
