The crosscut from the drift has
been temporarily suspended on the
3OO-foot level, but good progress is
being made in extending the 160-

is highly pleased over the showing
that is taking place upon this we'll

JUMBO EXTENSION
USES SMALL DRILL
OF ORE GOING OUT
WORTH THIRTY DOLLARS
PER TON

Steady shipments of ore carry
ing average values of $50 a ton in
gold and silver are being maintained
from the Jumbo Extension mine,
which has long been classed among
the best producers of the Goldfield
district.
The ore in question is being taken
from a number of the old workings,
where great pillars of mineral are
in evidence. This material will all
be broken and eventually marketed,
which will add quite comfortable
sum to the treasury of the COM
pany.
The core drill which is being
lowered from the 1017-foot level
has now been cased to a depth of
140 feet. During the past week the
size of the drill hole was reduced
from, six .jnches to four inches, and
new tools have arrived which will
greatly facilitate the work in hand.
The change in the size of the
core was made necessary owing to
the inability of the power plant to
properly handle the larger drill, but
with the change becoming effective
this week no further trouble should
be experienced from this source.

HORNS|LvER MINES
SHOWING MUCH
ACTIVITY

the Hornsilver district. ]. w. Dun
fee, who is operating the Orleans
under lease, has exposed on the
345-foot level a body of solid ore
that has a width of II feet, and
from shipments that have been
made during the past few weeks re-
turns of close to $40 ton have
been received in settlement. The
ore carries high contents in gold
and silver.
TIE new discovery made on the
Orleans is unquestionably a contin-
uatioL of that rich shoot mined by
Mr. Dunfee during 1914 and 1915,
and from which a production agsre-
eating over 5000 tons, yielding
100000. VAS made. Surveys made
of the mine indicated the probable
location of this orebody which sub
sequent developments proved ex-
listed IN examination of the new
find by 4 we'll known mining man,
who is authority for the statement,
is to the effect that the present
trehody is of even greater magni-
tude and richness than that ex-
tracted during the past year.
Two Progressive Companies
Two other progressive companies
controlling interests in the Horn
silver district are the Silver King
Mining company and the Hornsilver
Mining company, represented by
Dr. A. H. Elftman, as consulting
geologist and mining engineer,
Previous to the suspension of work
last fall, 4O-horsepower hoist had
been installed, but owing to the
fact that water was not available
it was thought advisable to wait
until this spring to resume sinking
of the main shaft. This shaft has
a depth of $40 feet, but it is pro-
posed to sink for several hundred
additional feet, and to carry to a
successful termination well-de-
vised campaign of exploration at
depth on both properties. The pro-
posed development, if carried out,
gives early promise of witnessing
these two mines being classed
among the steady producers.
DR.. A. II. Elftman, who returned
to Goldfield a few days ago from
an extended visit to Colorado, and
to the Lake Superior iron ranges,
where he had been making an ex-
animation of mines, stated that
preparations are under way for the
resumption of work on both the
Hornsilver and Silver King mines.

GRANDMA SHAFT
BEING LOWERED
PROGRESS CONTINUES SLOW,
But MACHINE DRILLS WILL
SOON BE STARTED

Energetic development is still
being waged on the Grandma prop
erty The shaft had attained a
depth of 225 feet on Tuesday of this
week, but progress is slow owing to
the character of the ground. Until
power drills have been installed and
brought into commission, sinking
will not progress with any degree
of satisfaction, although the miners
who are pounding away with hand
steel are making the best of condi-
tions under the circumstances.
Mr.. Turner stated Wednesday
that he had received advices from
the manufacturers in California that
the receiver had been shipped and
that it should arrive in Goldfield
during the course of the next few
days. No delay will be occasioned
in installing the equipment.
Once machine drills have been
brought into commission it is hoped
to make progress in sinking the
shaft at the rate of at least three
feet each day, while by working on
two shifts the footage can possibly
be doubled.
The shaft on the Grandma is now
nearing that point where a dis
covery of Importance may be eX-
pected at any time. Formation con-
tinues to change from time to time,
and while there have been no signs
of any ore being encountered up to
this writing, it would be no sur
prise to those interested to ascer-
tain that something big in a mining
way was going to occur within the
very near future.

JUMBO JUNIOR
CUTS ORE VEIN
DISCOVERY MADE ON LOWER
LEVEL AND IMPROVEMENT
NOTICEABLE

The Jumbo Junior mine has made
a splendid improvement during the
past week, and a most encouraging
showing of ore has been encoun-
tered in drifting west from the
bottom of the winze sunk from the
880-foot level. The ore vein is
gradually growing in proportions
and crosscutting is now in order
to catch the hanging-wall. With
the objective reached it is antici-
pated that the values will show an
upward trend.
Consulting Engineer j. x. Turner
stated Wednesday that it would be
necessary to drive some little dis
tance following the cutting of the
hanging-wall before the heading or
the drift would undercut the upper
level.

The Hornsilver district promises
to be heard from in no uncertain
way during the coming summer,
both as regards number of proper
ties undereo eoing development and
from a production standpoint.
Owners of mines have been
quietly awaiting the arrival of
spring, and the starting of the con-
struction of The new mill to be
erected by the Silver Mines cor
roration, to permit of the resump-
ti.1 of work on a scale commen-
surate with the plans as outlined,
is an assurance that the district
v Iii begin TO take on renewed life
within co:utaratively short time.
Excavation Has Started
Excavation for the Silver Mines
corporation cyanide plant, which
will have a capacity for treating
100 tons daily of ore by cyanidation,
has already started, and as soon as
weather conditions will permit the
equipment of the Homestake mill
at Rhyolite, together with additional
machinery already ordered, will be
transported to the seat of opera
tions. 1t will require the expendi-
turs of something like $4,000 to
construct the pipeline. which Will
have a length of eight miles, that an
adequate water supply may be- OBJ
tanned for the operation of the
cyanide plant and mining opera
tions in the district

something unforeseen occurs to In
terfere with present plans. then the
Silver Mines corporation cyanide

four months at the very latest.
While the reduction plant Is
being constructed primarily for the
treatment of ore from the Great
Western mine, which has over
10000 tons of ore actually blocked
out, it is possible that the product OF
other mines lying in close proximity
will be handled to limited extent.
Orleans Has Rich Ore

known that the shoot has been ex-
posed for over 100 feet, and as
ground is opened there is no 1ndica-
ton that the extent of the ore vein
is in sight. With the ground pre-
pared for stopping it will be possible
to break a greatly increased ton
mage, while it will also be possible
to proceed with drifting for the
thorough exploration of the terri
tory in question.
1t now seems to be foregone
conclusion that the Goldfield Con-
solidated fiotation plant will be in
steady operation during the course
of the next few days. With the
success of this enterprise proven.
Manager Darcy of the Atlanta COM
pany will proceed to make delivery
of a heavy tonnage of ore from the
Atlanta workings. This product
will be taken from a block of
ground that has a length of $50 feet
and height of 375 feet, while
assays that have been had on
numerous grab samples show aver
age metallic contents of from SIS
to $40 a ton. 1t is anticipated that
just as soon as the fotation plant
is in proper working condition that
the Atlanta company will furnish
not less than 100 tons of ore daily

CRACKER JACK
CROWDING OPERATIONS

Progressive management is plac-
ing this promising property on
footing where something important
will probably be announced within
q comparatively short time. The
new 800, ,O00-gallon pump is being
placed in position on the 320-foot
level, and operations will be prose-
cutad to fullest capacity during the
next few days. Exploration is being
centered on the Cracker Jack vein,
although it is proposed to enlarge
the scope of development by ex-
ploring the General Washington
and Rabbit Trail veins, both OF
which were recently acquired by
purchase.
Operations will shortly be going
forward with crews of miners work
ing on three eight-hour shifts, and
Manager II. G. Mcmahon expects to
have matters in shape whereby ex-
tensive development will follow
with a view of carrying out an en-
ergetic campaign of exploration.

COPPER MINES
BEING LEASED
JUMBO EXTENSION MINING
COMPANY ENCOURAGES
LEASING

The well-directed campaign of ex-
ploration recently undertaken by
the Jumbo Extension Mining COM
pany on the Copper Mountain mines,
in Mineral county, is bearing fruit.
Several sets of leasers are at work
with highly satisfactory results,
while applications for privileges are
being received with frequency.
This Copper Mountain property,
which passed to the Jumbo Exten-
sion company under longtime OPP
ton, promises to be heard from in
no uncertain way during the next
few months. Consulting Engineer
]. K. Turner made the announce
ment last week that the mine would
be blocked with a view of encourag-
ing leasers, and to that end num-
ber of we'll known local miners hav+,
filed applications for privileges.
The shaft recently started has
now attained a depth of about 85
feet and development is going for
ward with three shifts of men, but
reports of any mineral discovery
are lacking. However, the shaft is
now nearing a promised mineralized
strata and it will prove no surprise
to learn of something important de-
veloping in a mining way within a
short time.
This shaft is being sunk on the
hanging-wall of the vein, and when
a depth of 100 feet has been at
tanned prosecuting will be started
for the footwall. 1t is generally
believed that pay mineral will be
encountered with exploration carried
out as planned.
Two sets of leasers are doing ex-
ceptionally we'll and shipments are
going out every day. In one block
of ground there is exposed two and
one-half feet of ore that brings a
settlement of II per cent copper,
while another block shows three

Mine development in the Gold
field district has taken on rapid
strides during the past few weeks.
Many companies have Inaugurated
enlarged operations with highly sat-
isfactory results. AMI the coming
spring and summc' promises to wit
ness renewed aC.'vify On some OF
the best known old-time producers
of the banner gold camp of Nevada.
Leasing continues to grow in
popularity, and the coming few
weeks promises to witness the pro-
duction of this section being ma
terially augmented from this source.
Already we learn with degree of
satisfaction that lessees on the
Florence are meeting with results,
and while no shipments have been
started the prospect is bright for
steady production being made in
the future.
Florence Operations
The Florence mine, long famous
as a producer of high-grade ore, is
now showing much activity. Dur
ing the past week District Judge j.
Emmett Walsh authorized Receiver
Harry B. Clapp to grant five addi-
tional leases, with the result that
IA different blocks of ground are
now undergoing development. This
property has been thrown open to
lease down to the 600-foot level,
and as soon as the ground has been
blocked out it is confidently ex-
pected that there will be a small
army of miners employed in the
various departments.
Grandma Mine
Slow progress is resulting in the
sinking of the Grandma shaft, and
the interested parties will have to
be contented until Consulting En-
gineer ]. X. Turner has installed
the receiver that will permit of the
operation of machine drills through
air furnished by the Jumbo Exten-
sion power plant. The shaft now
has a depth of 255 feet and there
has been no material change in the
