DEPOSITS REGARDED
As BRIGHT

With it's powerful sinking pump
installed on the 175O-foot level the
Atlanta Mines company is now MAX
ing rapid headway in sinking the
deep winze, designed eventually to
explore the big vein on the 1000
foot level, but from which a cross
cut is to be driven first to cut the
vein at a depth of about 1900 feet.
IL is estimated that the winze will
have attained this depth, with a
samp below this point, and that the
the main vein before the close of
the present month.
Since the west vein was penetrat-
ed, at a depth of so feet below the
1150-foot level, sinking has been in
terrupted at intervals and it was
found impossible with the available
pumping equipment to make any
app reciable headway, but with the
new pump this difficulty has been
overcome and there will be no fur
ther interruption from water. The
bottom of the winze is still in vein
matter and it is now regarded as al
together possible that this big
q artz zone may prove to extend in
depth to the surface of the shale.
If this should prove to be the
case, and the flattening of the vein
at this point prove to be due to it
coming in contact with the shale, IA
condition would be presented here
similar to that in the Velvet claim
of the Jumbo Extension and there
would be good reason to count upon
finding important deposits of ore at
this point.
All indications in the winze, in
Guiding the presence of strong
flow of water and many seams of

figures, support the belief that the
enrichment here has been caused by
mineraliZed solutions that have
reached this vein from or through
the main lode, a short distance to
the east. Apparently the two veins
must form a junction at depth of
a little less than 1900 feet, and it
is at the point of this junction that
mining men look for the best re-
suits.
From the dip of the shale farther
to the west, it is estimated that the
winze will reach the shale's sur
face at depth of about 1900 feet,
a:ld at this point station will be
cut, a sump prepared, and then a

Development work has progressed
on a normal scale in mines and
prospects of the Goldfield district
and reports from several of the
properties under development afford
no small degree of encouragement.
In several instances the work OF
mining companies is nearing point
where operations will be materially
expanded in scope, creating better OPP
portunities for the discovery OF
commercial orebodies. Deep mining
is on the increase and it is becoming
more widely recognized that the fu-
ture of the district depends upon
opening pay ore at deep levels.
Mining men universally concede
the fact that development work now
being conducted at a number OF
points in the Goldfield district is
potentially as important as any that
has ever been undertaken here. In
the work that is being carried on by
companies or lessees large areas OF
virgin territory are being opened.
holding possibilities equal, accord
ing to all geological indications, to
any ground in the district. This
work is being conducted both in the
oxidized and sulphide zones, but the
more important and extensive work
is on deeper levels, largely with the
object of exploring the latite-shale
contact zone and the main veins OF
the district below this zone, down to
the underlying granite.
Several of the active mining COM
panies of the Goldfield district are
conducted on the asSessable stock
basis, which has enabled them to
carry on their work without inter-
ruption, despite the moribund condi-
ton of the stock market. This meth
cd of financing operations has prov
ed highly successful and advantage
Gus to the stockholders, as the bur-
den of assessments has been rela-
lively light and funds have been as
sured for the continuous operation
of the mines. 1t is in properties Of
some of these assessable companies
that developments of the greatest
Importance are confidently expected
in the near future.
Operations of lessees have again
assumed proportions of considerable
magnitude and large number of

Is PLANNED FOR
FUTURE

Within the next few days connec-
tion will have been made between
the south drift of the Reorganized
Kewanas, on the S40-foot level, and
the northern workings of the Jumbo
Junior company, in territory leased
by the latter company from the Ke-
wanas, affording much needed ven-
tiiation for the workings of both
companies. Development work of
the Kewanas will thereupon be
pushed forward with greater vigor
and the great vein will be explored
in a thorough manner by means of
raises and cross-cuts.
Work has been in progress stead
lily at two points in the southern
part of the Kewanas property, in the
south drift and in the long cross
cut extending in a sOutheasterly di-
rection through the vein. The
cross-cut has now progressed to a
point where it should be nearing
the hanging wall of the wide ore
channel and with better air avail
able it is planned to put up raises
here to explore the hanging wall
and the country Immediately above
the flat vein.
Similar work will be conducted
from the south drift, together with
cross-cuts at intervals throughout
lis length. This drift has exposed
many seams of good ore and high
assays in gold and copper have been
common, but no deposits of any
considerable volume have been ex-
posed in this work. Near the boun-
dory of the leased ground, where
the connection will be made with
the Junior company's drift, the lat
ter company has found some ore of

For the first time since its open
ing, the Goldfield school of mines is
now completely equipped in all de-
partments, the chemicals essential
in the laboratory having arrived but
few days ago. Small shipments
have arrived from time to time and
will continue until the laboratory is
completely stocked, but it was not
until recently that enough was re-
ceived to equip the laboratory on a
comprehensive scale.
Instruments used in the study of
chemistry, mineralogy and geology
have also been slow to arrive, owing
to war demands, but Professor G. E.
Hofmann, in charge of the school,
states that he is now well equipped
for instructing in any of the sub
jects taught at the local institution
The room in the building former
ly occupied by the West Side public
school, now used as laboratory, is
also equipped for instruction in me-
chanical drawing, and contains a
complete assaying outfit and an ex-

minerals for instruction in miner
alogy and geology.
AS is said to have been common in
starting all mines schools in this
state, the local institution has been
more or less handicapped by inter-
mittent attendance of students, 9TH

HIGH VALUE

Active development work is in
progress on three main levels of
the Mayflower mine, in the Pioneer
district, and large tonnage of
high-grade milling ore, together
with some ore of good shipping
grade, has been exposed in the
course of recent work, particularly
on the 800 and 40O-foot levels. The
Mayflower company was reorganiz-

made assessable, providing funds

other ways to anyone wishing to at

Many men, lacking less than the
average education, have started to
attend the school, but quickly be-
came discouraged and quit, despite
efforts of Professor Hofmann to in
duce them to remain. The professor
says these are the exact kind of men
he desires to induce to enter the
school and that there is no reason
why they cannot be greatly bene-
fitted by the course if they will but
continue to attend, the courses be-
ing designed to accommodate any de-
gree of education in student.
Everything is provided at the
school for complete courses in
chemistry, mineralogy, geology and
assaying and the work is arranged
so as to hold the interest of the
student and demonstrate to him the
practical side of the work through
out, the excellent collection of min
erals on hand being invaluable in
! association with textbook instruc-
tion in the physical properties, struc-
ture and composition of minerals,
and the well-equipped laboratory
providing for determinative analyses
of ores.
In speaking of the work mine
schools are designed to accomplish,
Professor Hofmann stated that the

LOW VEIN WITHIN

Thirteen leases are now being
operated in Jumbo Extension ter
ritory and several have been pro-
ducing ore of high grade, realizing
a substantial profit in some instan-
ces. This ore is extracted for the
most part in following narrow
seams of ore that branch out from
the main oreshoots that have been
stopped by the company. Operations
OF this character can be conducted
profitably by lessees, but would not
yield a profit if carried on by the
company, under conditions necessi-
tating the employment of large
force and the handling of con-
siderable tonnage.
In most cases the lessees have
been operating for only a short
time and their work has not yet
reached the productive stage, but all

Some delay in sinking the deep
