Newest of southern Nevada min
ton, Tolicha, situated in Nye coun-
ty. southeast of Goldfield As miles
by road, is now the scene of con-
siderable amount of activity and
the ground surrounding the first
discoveries has been staked for
r,iles. Records are cited to show
that the district received it's name
in 1875, when it was christened by
surveyors in the employ of the
government. The original name,
however, was written Taelicha, and
presumably was of Indian deriva-
ton.
Ore carrying free gold was found
in groupings at the site of the main
discovery early this year by Ed.
Yeiser, familiarly known as "Jum-
bo," and his partner Jack Jordan,
a cousin of the Jordan brothers,
Pat and Mike, who discovered tn 2
Antelope ore The first locations
we're made July II last, and were
filed in the names of Ed Yeiser,
Jack Jordan and James Mckay, the
last-named a Tonopah man interest
eG with the two prospectors.
Contrary to sensational reports
that have been circulated, it is said
on the best of authority that no
high-grade ore has been found in
tr, district, but large veins, COM
posed of quartz of excellent charac-
ter and carrying gold in good mill
ing quantity. have been opened at
several points and development work
on these veins is now progressing
on a dozen or more different prop
ert.es. The district is reached oy
wagon road from Goldfield, a dis
tance of 48 miles, or 26 miles to
Crater we'll and % miles from that
point to the Tolicha camp.
Soon after the discoverers had
started a system of surface pros
pecting, an option on the original
discovery ground, known as the Life
Preserver group, was granted to
Zeb Kendall of Tonopah, who in
turn interested George Wingfield
in the development of the property
and Mr.. Wingfield now has force
of II men on the ground, sinking
four shafts and working under the
direction of A. l. Darcy, manager
of the Wingfield properties in Gold
field. Ernest Schendel is fore
man in charge of the work.
The Life Preserver group, of three
claims, is traversed by two large
parallel veins, with indications OF
another vein of similar trend be-
tween. The main vein, now being
opened by four incline shafts, is

various levels, principally in the
Mohawk and Jumbo mines, have pro-
duced a considerable quantity of
high-grade ore in relatively small
lots. a
Atlanta Mines Co.
Equipment Is in place on the
i750-foot level for sinking the
winze to the 2OOO-foot level, but this
work has been delayed by the. non
arrival of consignment of power
cable, which is to be used to carry
the electric current from the Merger
hoist and compressor at the winze.
Sinking has progressed for about 25
feet by hand work, in order to avoid
possible damage to the hosting and
compressor plant as result of
blasting. The wiring for power will
be completed within a few days,
when rapid progress will be made.
Jumbo Extension
A deep winze is being sunk from
the 1O17-foot level of the Jumbo Ex
tension mine, following down the
main vein on it's incline into the
shale, with the object of exploring
the big lode far within the shale
and alaskite and determining con-
ditions at the shale-alaskite contact.

ATLANTA SINKING
TO CUT VEINS !
At DEPTH
PROJECT WILL INVOLVE WORN
AT DEPTH OF 1000
FEET

On the 1750-foot level of the At
lanta mine all equipment for sinking
the deep winze is now in place, on
concrete foundations, and the winze
has already been sunk about 80 feet
with hand STEEL in order that the
plant may not be endangered by
blasting.
There has been some delay in
starting the compressor and hoist at
this point, owing to the delay in the
arrival of a shipment Of power cable,
which is to be used to carry the cleo
trio current from the Merger shaft
to the motors at the winze.
This cable is expected on any ar
irving train and the machinery
should be in operation within few
days, when sinking will proceed at
a rapid rate. The winze, which is as
large as working shaft, is to be
sunk without interruption to the
2OOO-foot level, after which cross
cuts will be extended to the vein at
depths of 1900 and 1000 feet and
the vein will be explored by drifts
and raises in thorough manner.
No doubt is entertained by mining
authorities regarding the success of
this undertaking, as the ore has
been shown to increase in value as
depth is attained in the Atlanta vein,
the best ore in the mine having been
found on the 1750-foot or deepest
level and in shallow wines below
that level

RED HILL RAISES
ARE SHOWING
GOOD ORE
ITY BROKEN IN OPEN
ING VEIN

Results of development work in
the Red Hill Florence property con-
tinue to offer much encouragement,
particularly in raising at two or
three points above the main 500
foot level. The best showing at
present is in the raise that has
been driven to prospect the cross
vein. at the point where it intersects
the main lode. This raise is now
showing ore for the full width of
the back assaying nearly $50 per
ton and has been in ore of CONNER
cal grade for a considerable dis
tance.
When this raise has been driven
short distance farther, it is plan
ned to extend lateral work on both
veins and strong hopes are enter
tanned that this will result in ex-
posing ore-shoots of good value.
Mining men find much of interest
in the work now progressing in the
Red Hill Florence mine, as geologi-
cal conditions here are practically
identical with those surrounding the
bonanza orebodies opened farther
north in this vein. in territory of
the Florence Goldfield company.
The Red Hill company's workings
are within from 60 to 80 feet Of
the boundary line of the Florence
and a large tonnage of high-grade
shipping ore was extracted from
Slopes extending up to the boundary
line between the two properties.

exposed rich ore and other raises
and drifts are being driven to block
out the ore from the deepest level
to the surface. On the 300-foot
level cross-cut is being driven to
the north for the purpose of eX-
ploring what is known as the North
vein.
Red Hill Florence
Raises from the 5OO-foot level
posed ore of good grade at several
points, with particularly good
showing in the raise that is follow
ing up the incline of the cross vein,
at the point where it intersects the
main lode. The latter is the main
Florence vein, dipping to the east
through this territory, and quanti
ties of high-grade ore have been
taken from slopes in Florence
ground that were worked up to the
joint boundary. The aforementioned
raise has been in good ore for some
distance and the back now shows a
full width of ore averaging nearly
$50 per ton. Two other raises have
made a showing nearly as good and
conditions throughout the new
workings are regarded as highly en-
cOuraging.
Cracker Jack
The main east crOss-cut on the
320-fOOt level is being continued,
~ he hrn a,tn fro
the shaft, and apparently it is now
nearing the Rabbit Train vein, for
which 1t has been advanced beyond
the main lode. This vein produced
some good ore from surface work
ings and is regarded as one of the
most promising in the northern part
of the district. Drifts are being ad-
vanced south in the main vein and
have exposed some good ore, car
rying a variety of metals.
Sandstone X endall
Development work in the Sand
storm property is likely to produce
results of considerable interest
within a short time. The east cross
cut at depth of about 265 feet is
nearing the Kruger vein and drifts
are being advanced north and south
on the main vein. farther to the
west
Blue Bull Company
Many good assays, some of high
shipping grade, have been obtained
lately in development work in the
part of the Blue Bull prop
erty. This work is being conducted
through the old Simmerone shaft at
a depth of about $50 feet on
the Pig claim of the Blue Bull
group. This group was formerly
under lease to the Simmerone com
pany, but the lease expired some
time ago, after some good ore had
been found here.
Jumbo Junior
A cross-cut is being driven east
from the main drift on the SS0-foot
level of the Jumbo Junior to reach
the fault zone. in which some good
ore has been found farther north
