A most promising mineral find
property, situated on Gold noun
tain. seven miles south of Horn
silver. The ore vein-solid smelt-
ing material-has a width of from
two to two and one-half feet, and
assays had show average values of
2.7 ounces gold and 33 ounces sill
yer a ton.
Picked specimens show values
running as high as 5000 a ton in
sold and silver, and exploration
tina. is now going forward with
feverish haste is resulting in a
marked improvement taking place
with the firing of each round of
holes.
The new discovery was made on
what is known as the mill level.
through which work has been in
progress for long period, or since
the property was taken over by
the Nevada Cooperative company
The vein was lost during the early
history of operations, the mine be-
ing one of the oldest in this sec
ton of the state, but a series of
tunnels driven from above resulted
in the dip or strike of the vein be-
ing fully determined. With this
knowledge at hand, Consulting En-
gineer j. X. Turner outlined a
course to be followed on the mill

level, where a fine looking vein of
ore is showing. 1t is proposed,
however, to continue the repair OF
the shaft down to the S0O-foot
level.
Grandma Mine
The shaft on the Grandma mine
had attained a depth on Monday
of 800 feet There has been no
discovery made yet, but it is ex-
pected that the shale contact will
be reached within a comparatively
short distance. The ground has
been unusually hard during the past
few weeks, but headway in sinking
is resulting at the average rate of
two feet each day.
Copper Mountain Mines
This property, which is being
operated by the Jumbo Extension
Mining company under favorable
option terms, comes marching to
the front this week with one of the
most important discoveries made in
months in Mineral county. In ex-
tending the drift from the 50-foot
level of shaft No. 2, a body of
smelling ore from two and one-half
to three feet in width has been un-
covered that shows values of 10
per cent copper. Consulting En-
gineer J. K Turner returned few
days ago from the seat of opera
tions and is well pleased with the
showing that is taking place as de-
velopment is carried forward.
Spearhead Mine
1t is reported that the showing
on the Spearhead is fully up to
expectations, although no effort
has yet been made for a production.
This find was made on the 90
foot level and the ledge has been
found to have a width of over 80
feet. Ground will be opened on
the vein for long distance, and
considering that the company con-
trolls 900 feet lying ahead of the
present face, the outlook is en-
couraging for a heavy production
being made during the next few
months.
Florence Leasers
A number of leasers at work ON
the Florence are maintaining ship
ments, and the ore as a rule is of

a high grade There are IA sets of
men at work, and in a majority OF
instances pay ore is being broken.
This property is fast rounding into
old-time form, and it is evident that
it will again be heard from as
producer of high-grade ore
Black Butte
The Campbell lease on the Black
Butte still continues to surrender
literally of high grade ore and
substantial earning is resulting for
both the company and operators,
Operations are being centered on
the 150-foot level of the old Quart
zite stope, and numerous stringers
or seams of rich ore have been put
ting in their appearance ct late.
Progress in lowering the Ca,yy core
drill is rapid and havinS started
from surface it is proposed to eN-
plore the ground for 1000 feet in
depth.
Atlanta Minc
Stead; sL;pments oA'inue 10 go
out from this well knI"n property,
nearly the entire output being min
ed on the 175O-foot eel Tie ore
vein shows a width of full five
feet and average returns of $50 a
ton are being received in settle
ment. Shipments of mill dirt have
not yet been started for the Gold
field Consolidated flotation plant,
but it should only be the matter of
a few days until a consignment of
close to 100 tons daily will be in
order.
HOrnsiIver District
Much interest is being centered
on the Hornsilver district by min
ing men from all sections of the
state. The renewed activity that
has been in evidence for the last
several weeks has attracted great
many mining men and prOspectors
to that locality and camp of per-
manency has been established. The
Orleans mine still continues to make
splendid production of high-grade
ore and under the efficient manage
ment of J. w. Dunfee it promises
to develop rapidly into one of the
heavy shippers of that section of
Esmeralda county.

ing carried therefrom, and the ore
is showing in two different places
at a distance of so feet apart. In
one of the workings the shoot has
width of three feet and tests made
upon different samples show values
varying from $40 to 1921 a ton
Great Bend Mine
In the drift being extended from
the 160-foot level Of the Great Bend
the face shows entirely of ore, and
from shipments that have been
made of late weeks returns averag-
ing $21 a ton have been realized
This property is making one of the
best showings in the Goldfield dis
trict and a heavy production of ore
has been in order for the last sew
eral weeks. Consulting Engineer j.
X. Turner is bending every energy
to place this property among the
heaviest shippers of the district and
the result of his efforts is to be
commended

Retimbering of the double-com-
partment shaft on this well known
property has proceeded down to the
536-foot level. Between the 500
and 560-foOt points the ground is
unsafe, but an attempt will be made
to find solid formation. and then

(From The Vandalia Mail.)
Mr.. and Mrs. L. F. Austin and
daughter, Helen, recently from Chat
tanooga, Tenn, are visiting Mrs. Aus
tins sister, Mrs. r. H. Butts, and
family.
They have moved back to stheir
former home at Mexico, Mo. They
were very favorably impressed with
southern life, but that overpowering
influence of Missouri people and
home ties lured them back. Mr..
Austin said they owned a home in
Mexico, small one, but big enough
to have scrap in," so they returned.
Mr.. Austin was travelling sales
man; his territory was from New
York to Fergus Falls, MINI. He said
crop conditions were very fine thru
Wisconsin, Illinois and other places;
wheat good, corn prospects fine. In
Chattanooga territory the first crop
of vegetables have been harvested
and the second started; rains reason
able. Early in the spring they suf-
fered a two and a half million dollar
food, since then all has been fair.
The universal topic of conversation
is war. Mr.. Austin says he expects
to get into the war yet, as a second
draft is sure to come. He is ready to
fight but has no proclivity to crossing
the big pond-afraid of a submarine.
From his versatile manner he is Of
ten mistaken for any other than his
own profession, most often a preach
err. He was invited Sunday to assist
in services and by a young couple to
pronounce the marriage vows, but
his reply was, 81 have just torn up
my license"
They are enjoying visiting old
friends in Vandalia.

A soldier in the trenches wears out
the best pair of shoes in three weeks,
it is said. Thus it is, as the war goes
on, the civilians will be forced to
economize on their footwear. In
Germany it has even reached the
point where there isno longer enough
good leather to shoe all the men upon
the battle line. Hundreds of thous-
ands of civilians turnout the empire
are going barefooted during the sum-
mer months, either because they can
not get shoes or from a shrewd fore
sight that keeps a pair or two OF
shoes in reserve for next winter.
