FLORENCE LEASERS have STARTED
LOADING OUT SHIPMENTS OF ORE

With the resumption of work on
this property under the leasing
system many of the operators hold
ing privileges found it necessary to
perform a certain amount of dead
work occasioned from the fact that
caves had occurred during the long
period the upper workings had re-
mained in idleness. The prelimin-
airy work having practically been
completed in a majority of cases,
saved and that shipments would fol-
low.
While no wonderfully rich and
extensive ore bodies are expected to
be found in the upper workings, 1t
is nevertheless a fact that there is
a wide area of ground that was
only exploited in a desultory sort
of way, much of which should pro-
ceed to surrender quite literally of
the precious metals. In the case
of the Oglivie lease 1t is reported
that occasional streaks of high
grade ore of exceptional value are
being encountered. The sale of this
ore promises to bring quite nice
revenue, but of course the princi-
pal source of income is bound to
accrue from the mining of the lower
grade.
The Florence mine would appear as
yet only in it's infancy and with deep
development it should eventually be
rejuvenated and placed among the
substantial producers Of the Gold
field district. Located in the very
heart of the richest mineral zone of
the district it would seem that some
day, in the not too far distant fu-
ture, it would again take its right
full place among the substantial pro-
ducers that are doing so much to
keep Goldfield on the map as the
home of the greatest gold mines
ever discovered in this state.

PRESIDENT centennial GROUPS
Of MINES PASS TO new owner

has been developed by three shafts
that have respective depths of 200,
100 and 25 feet, while drifting has
progressed for 200, 60 and 120 feet
respectively. A hoist and steam
plant of machinery stands on the
property, which is adequate to meet
demands for long period. This
group of claims is situated in what
is known as the Ida Valley mining
district, the titles being known as
the Summit, Horn Silver, Pandora,
Buckley, Mayflower and Revenue
claims, lying three and one-half
miles northwest of the town of Ida.
The President group consists of
six claims, known as the President
Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Develop
ment consists of a double-compart-
ment shaft that has a depth of 100
feet, while a single shaft has been
sunk for 102 feet. On this proper
ty there is showing plainly a seven
foot ledge, with two feet of solid
ore exposed. Shipments made dur
ing the present year have returned
values as high as 1854 a ton in
geld, silver and copper.
Large quantities of ore were
shipped from this property upwards
Of two years ago that brought a
mill settlement averaging $46 ton
in silver, gold and copper, but at
- Ill
yer was at an unusually low ebb.
This ore under prevailing prices
being paid for the metals would be
worth today almost double that
amount However, ore has been
found that carried values of 10000
ounces silver a ton.

buyer of the property, stated to

SHALE CONTACT
IS NOT REACHED
GRANDMA SHAFT WILL BE
LOWERED UNTIL DESIRED
END is REACHED

The shaft on the Grandma pro-
perty has attained depth of APP
proximately 2SO feet. There has
been no change in the character of
the formation, and Consulting En-
gineer j. X. Turner states that
sinking will be continued until the
shale contact has been rached.
The irregularity of the shale sur
face makes it impossible to deter
mine with any degree of accuracy
the depth at which the shale con
tact will be penetrated. However,
work is to be rushed along with
view of proving up the territory in
question and it need prove no sur
prise to learn any day that the
objective has been reached.
The Grandma Mining company is
conservatively managed and oper-
ations are being carried forward at
the lowest possible cost. Since con-
nection was made with the Jumbo
Extension power plant at the Vel
vet shaft, and machine drills were
brought into commission, much bet
ter headway has resulted in the
sinking of the shaft.
Progress in sinking is now re-
sulting at the rate of two feet each
day, but Mr.. Turner, who is direct
ing the work, states that inside OF
thirty days another shift of miners
will be given employment. At that
time it is hoped to break at least
four feet of ground each day which
will permit of the territory controll-
ed being explored at speed.
The Grandma mine has proved
quite popular with the fraternity,
and situated as it is in the heart
of the Goldfield mineral belt, the
future should develop something
big in a mining way at the seat of
operations.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-03-31

Lest those people who have long
been interested in Goldfield as the
greatest gold center ever discover
ed in the west should forget, it
would be well to remind them that
there is still a Florence mine lOcat-
ed right here in our midst.
1t is the same old Florence mine
that startled the world with the
richness of it's ores a decade ago,
and while no wonderfully rich dis
coveries have been made, it is
nevertheless a fact that the Flor
ence is again coming into it's own,
with every reason for believing that
the production during the next few
months will aid materially in swell
ing the output from this great min
eral region when the yearly pro-
duction is computed.
Since this property was thrown
open under the leasing system down
to the 60O-foot level through orders
issued out of the district court by
Judge J. Emmett Walsh, upon ap-
plication of Receiver Harry B.
Clapp, there has been great deal
of activity at this old producer.
The result of the move on the part
of Receiver Clapp has again placed
the Florence among the list of
shippers, with prospects unusually
good for the output gradually be-
ing increased from month to month.
Fourteen leasing privileges have
been granted on various parts of
the mine and in a number of in
stances a good grade of ore is be-
ing broken. Several lessees have
been loading out shipments during
the past few days, and one carload
of ore shipped by Ogligie and asso-
ciates is expected to return values
of close to 5000 a ton in gold and
copper, with the precious metal pre-
dominating to a very marked ex-
tent

ATLANTA PRODUCTION is Being
INCREASED FROM MONTH TO MONTH

Shipments of ore from the Atlanta
month of February totalled $50
tons, and a sufficient earning was
realized to pay all operating ex-
penses. This ore is being taken
from the stope workings on the
1850 foot level of the Goldfeld
Merger shaft, where body of
smelling ore five feet wide is being
followed that shows values averag-
ing better than $50 ton.
Manager A. l. Darcy states that
the output from this property dur
ing the present month will be fully
up to the standard of February, and
that he hopes to realize more than
enough revenue to permit of opera
tions being carried forward without
resorting to calling upon the treas
ury of the company.
The Atlanta Mines company has
been consigning all it's ore to the
Western Ore Purchasing company
and highly satisfactory returns are
being reported. 1t is proposed to
proceed with ore extraction with a
view of gradually increasing the
output until a substantial net earn
ing results.
No shipments have yet been start
ed from the property to the flotation
plant of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company. While arrange
ments were concluded several weeks
ago for the supplying of 100 tons of
ore daily to the fiotation plant, ship
ments will not be started until

pany has the plant in working con-
dition to permit of handling a full

all been tested out thoroughly. On
account of the fact that the copper
IS more readily amenable to flota-
tion than gold it is possible to make
a separation of the greater portion
of the copper into concentrate
which will be shipped to the smelt-
ers. The remaining concentrate,
containing the greater portion of the
gold and silver, will be treated To-
cally in the company's concentrate
treatment plant. Arrangements have
been made with the Western Ore
Purchasing company for marketing
the copper concentrate.
The company has effected an
arrangement with the Minerals Sep
aration company, who own basic
patents covering the flotation pro-
cess, so that the last obstacle in the
way of the success of the plant
has cen removed. This settlement
with the Minerals Separation COM
pany removes the possibility of any
litigation. which for a time seemed
to threaten, over alleged infringe
meni of patents.
The plan of operation at the mill
IN the future will be that the upper
level, or oXidized ores, will be
treated by the cyanide process and
the deeper level or sulphide ores
will be treated by flotation."

liaf that tho tpomnany wOuld soon no

CRACKER JACK
SECURES PUMP

ATELY AND DEVELOPMENT

H. G.. Mcmahon, manager of the
Cracker Jack Mining company, who
returned from Los Angeles a few
days ago, states that he found it
impossible to purchase suitable
pumps with which to lift the water
from the flooded workings of the
mine. The pumps offered were all
too large and at the same time ex-
pensive.
Mr.. Mcmahon has made arrange
ments, however, where the emer-
gency will be met, a walking-beam
pump from the old Highland mine
having been purchased. The ma
chinery is on the Highland mine in
the Diamondfield section, which has
lain dormant for the last three
years. The equipment will be in
stalled at a cost of between $500
and 5000, and will be operated
from the surface, thus eliminating
all danger of becoming lost either
by flood or lack of power.
When the two pumps that were
lost three weeks ago have been re-
covered, they will be sold, and it

Manager II. G. Mcmahon this week
purchased a walking-beam pump
from the Highland mine in the Dia-

the pump is 1000 gallons and the
equipment will be installed imme-
diately. When the water has been
lifted from the mine workings it is
proposed to sell the two pumps that
were recently lost and about $500
should be realized. Installation of
the walkingbea pump will not ne
cessitate an expenditure to exceed
from $500 to 5000 and the prospect
of again suffering handicap by wa
ter will be quite remote.
