The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-10-20

Inc week WOrk In Ine Amdl
gamated is as follows: From tn
600-foot level, the north cross-cut
on the fissure has advanced 16 feet,
for a total of 81 feet. No. IL north
cross-cut east advanced IA feet, a
total of Al feet. The south cross
cut on fissure advanced "a feet, a
total of 81 feet. The total footage
made in the mine for the week is
"a feet.
The recent development work in
the mine has demonstrated conclu-
sively that the two ore bodies which
had been mined in the past from
the Earl shaft from the 35O-foot
level to the surface have come to
gether at the present 60O-foot level
of the Amalgamated workings and
are now all M great ore body.
This ore body has the following di
mansions from the present bottom
level, of 600-foot incline; the de-
veloped length of the ore is 60 feet
with a proven width between walls
of 3S feet.
Upon reaching a complete stage
of development, the ore body Will
undoubtedly prove to have still fur
Their dimensions to the east. The
average assay value of the ore body,
eliminating all samples which as
sayed higher than SIT, is proven to
be $14 per ton in gold content.
Admitting that there is virgin
ground between the 350-foot Earl
level and the 600-foot level of the
Amalgamated, it demonstrates a
block of ESQ feet of ore, which at
13 cubic feet to the ton shows APP
proximately $4,000 tons of ore be
tween the two levels in this ore
body alone.
There is still one more orebody
which remains to be proven from
the present bottom level of the
Amalgamated known as the Swan
son ore shoot and should this orc
prove to carry it's known dimen
sions as proven from the Earl up
per workings to the present work
it will yield over 5000 tons of ore
which will average above $40 T
ton if the values in the orebody
remain constant.
The present plans of the com
pany are already being put into
execution. The working shaft O
the Earl is to be Strengthened, en-
larged to full double compart-
ment with manway. 1t is to be
timbered with eight by eight Oregon
pine timbers. From the present
depth of the shaft, $50 feet, it is
to be sunk with all expedition, and
a raise is to be started from the
6OO-foot level of the Amalgamated
workings, to make connection wi
the shaft bottom. This work is tC
be carried forward at once and the
requisite underground surveys are
now being made.
Manhattan Red Top
The Red Top will shortly have
the heavy flow of water which h
caused so much delay in shaft
sinking under bounds. The man
agement announces that a larP
Cameron sinking pump has been
shipped from San Francisco an
should reach the mine before tt
end of the week.
While the fight against water ha'
been aggravating in the extreme
still it indicates a broker up for
nation exists with all pOSSibilitie
in favor of an important shoot of
ore being adjacent to the shaft. The
quartz lease recently granted tn
Red Top by the Union Amalgamat
ed Mining company is an importan
concession to the first named con-
pany as it gives access to some pr
missing ground which on the sur
face shows several rich stringer.

reached from laterals run from the

the shaft.
