SPEARHEAD
IS BIG
COMPANY APPLIES TO Rail-
ROAD FOR SPUR TO
SHAFT

According to reports from the
management this morning condi-
tions in the Spearhead mine are
satisfactory in every way and, al
though no assay returns were avail
able, it was thought that the grade
OF ore is improving.
There ia four feet of ore in the
raise from the 91O-foot level, ac-
cording to A. A. Codd, secretary
and treasurer of the company. who
was i'll Goldfield yesterday, and
full face of ore assaying over 500
shows in the drift on the same
level.
The Spearhead company applied
10 the Tonopah & Tidewater rail
icad company yesterday for a spur
from the main lire TO the mine
shaft. The main line passes close
to the shaft and but little grad
ing will be necessary. Lumber
will be ordered at once for con-
struction of an ore bin and it is
the intention of the management to
start shipping as soon as possible,
according to Manager Bruce. Ad-
ditional miners will be employed
and the mine put in condition for
production. The shaft will he
equipped with a cage ana other
improvements will be added at
once.
Shipments will be made to the
plant of the United States Smelling
company at Kennett, Cal.

Tonopah Miner; The principal
feature of interest connected with
mining operations of the Tonopah
Belmont company in the time which
has elapsed since the previous re-
port was issued relates to the find
ing of a faulted segment. Of what is
known as the South vein, an ore
body that in the past few years has
furnished a big proportion of the
tonnages that have gone through
the company's local milling plant.
Exploration work had been under
way for some weeks to determine
the location of the faulted portion
of the vein, but even though the
greatest endeavor was used in pros
pecting for the vein in the block
of ground where it seemed most
likely to be found, the efforts of
the management were in vain until
a few days ago when a new cross
cut, which was recently started,
broke into the vein. At the time
the current report was made the
crosscut had penetrated the vein
only a few feet, but there are great
hopes that a considerable width
will be developed when the other
wall of the vein has been reached
because of the fact that the vein
was of splendid size at the point
where it was cut off by the fault.
In going through the vein to the
present face of the crosscut, only
low values have been encountered,
but inasmuch as good milling val
ues were found in the portion of
the vein developed and stopped orig
inally, the management believes
that a good width of ore will he
opened up at the 9OO-foot level,
and also is confident that the ore
shoot will extend for a considera-
BILE distance. there being quite an
area of unprospected territory
within the vicinity of the present
exploration workings.
With the consummation of the
plans regarding the finding of the

new ORE OPENED
IN DIVIDE MINE

Recent discoveries made in eX-
ploring territory in the Tonopah
Divide mine are regarded as OF
particular Importance. The cross
cut on the 26O-foot level, driven
south from the shaft, recently pen
etrated the gold vein and drifts
have been driven on this vein and
have proved it to be of great value
and on the hanging wall ore assay
ing as high as $50 per ton has
been opened. This crosscut was
advanced to the gold vein after
cutting the silver vein, in which
ore valued at over $3,50O,000 has
been blocked out, and is now be-
ing continued to cut an orebody
farther south and paralleling the
gold and silver veins.
Shipments are being made. regu-
larly to the Consolidated mill and
the present rate of $50 tons week
ly will be increased materially in
the near future. according to re-
ports.
In the main working drifts are
being extended and crosscuts and
raises driven to increase the great
tonnage of ore already blocked
out.
Work on the 260 and 370-foot
levels continues to expose ore OF
high shipping grade and the ore
body has been opened for over 800
feet in length on these levels and
has been shown to have an aver
age width of 26 feet. Where
opened on the 370-foot level the
grade of ore is higher than on the
upper levels and at one point the
orebody was found to assay $6O
over a width of &c feet. This is
regarded as one of the greatest
bodies of this grade ore opened
in the history of mining in south
ern Nevada.
The main shaft is being sunk
from the 370-foot point and VIII
be continued to the permanent wa
ter level, which it is expected viii
be found at from 700 to 500 feet

I0NOPAH BELMONT LOCATES
SEGMENT OF SOUTH Vein

South vein, and the difficulty of
obtaining sufficient men to work
the various development and pros
pecting operations eliminated, a
more satisfactory condition is be-
ing manifested at the Belmont
mine. This factor is giving the
management considerable satisfac-
ton and is permitting the company
to plan new work. Confidence is
expressed that large orebodies,
which were not fully developed in
the days of the original operations
of the company, will be opened up
and will prove to be quite substan-
tial additions to the company's ore
reserves, and with this object In
view operations on a more compre-
hensive scope will be undertaken
some time in the future.
Since the war terminated great
many men have returned from the
shipbuilding centers, and within
the near future many of the men,
who, Immediately following the en-
trance of the United States into the
war, volunteered or were conscript-
ed from the mines, will be return
ing to. their natural occupations
and mining will be resumed on a
mora parmoJ hacic than has heen
possible in the last few years.

Ludwick, Webster and McClos-
key, operating on the Jordan and
Yaiser ground at Tolicha, shipped
a carload of lumber from Goldfield
a few days ago for use in con-
structing a loading platform at the
\ shipping point on the railroad, ~
miles from the mine, and for other
purposes. Five miners are en-
ployed in opening the Jordan and
Yaiser ground and over two car
loads of ore, assaying $50 per ton
in gold and silver are at the mine
and will be shipped as soon as the
loading platform has been built.
This ore has been obtained along

MAYFl0WER MINE
HAS BIG FUTURE

A large tonnage of good ore,
much of which is of high shipping
grade, has been opened in develop
ment work of the past few months
in the Mayflower mine at Pioneer,
according to figures furnished by
w. ], Tobin, manager for the COM
pany. Recent work has been done
in the Mayflower vein and has re-
suited in the vein being prepared
for production at two places, sep
arated 400 feet.
The main shaft is 500 feet deep
and good ore is exposed on the
200, 800 and 400-foot levels. On
the last level a winze 60 feet deep
is sunk in ore assaying $12 per
ton, according to samples taken a
short time ago.
Work done through the Starlight
shaft, 400 feet from the main
shaft, has resulted in commercial
ore being opened in several places
and this territory promises to sup
ply big tonnage of good ore. The
Starlight shaft is sunk in the vein
and ore assaying from So to $40 a
ton is now showing in a drift from
the shaft In places where the
best grade of ore has been opened
the ore-shoot has been found to
have an average width of six feet
the values being almost entirely
in gold. Manager Tobin plans to
crosscut from the 500-foot point in
the main shaft to open at depth
the ore found in the drift
The entire Mayflower mine was
sampled recently to determine fu-
ture plans for milling and the re-
suit was highly encouraging, the
sampling showing a great tonnage
of ore that can be milled at good
profit at the mine.
On the ground is mill which
has an excellent record for bullion
production in the past and present
plans are to remodel the plant and

GRANDMA DRIFT IN QUARTZ ZONE

the shale in which the work is
being done.
Some of the richest ore OF the
district has been found in this long
valley, which runs in a soutnerV
direction. Ore of high grade has
been found in the adjoining ke-
wanas mine at almost the same
depth at which the Grandma is
now working in the main vein OF
the district, which comes to the
surface on Consolidated ground.
The point of contact with the shale
is in the Kewanas, indicating that
the richest zone of secondary de-
posits may be found to lie in the
Grandma claim near the Grandma

Only a few days ago Goldfield

rising market, which men who fol-
low closely market conditions pre-
dict will have strong inside sup

The end-of-the-war revival, long
predicted, hit Goldfield before it
was expected and resulted in a
rush of buying orders for the live
issues that swamped brokerage Of

the country regarding mines of the
district and the suddenly increas-

GOOD ORE IS
OPENED in
MERGER
FOUR-FOOT OREBODY OPENED
ON 155O-FOOT
LEVEL

The Merger Mines company has
resumed mining operations and al
ready excellent results have been
obtained, according to assay and
other figures furnished by Manager
A. l. Darcy.
Starting with hand drills on
Nov. 29 on the 155O-foot level, Is
tons of ore has been broken that,
according to assay sheets, averag-
es $3.50, SO gold, 6.2 ounces
silver and 5.3 per cent copper.
This ore was broken between Nov.
20 and Dec. l and yesterday Man
ager Darcy started an air line
into the workings, which will be
utilized as soon as completed and
mining started with air drills.
The orebody is four feet wide
and has been opened for a dis
tance of 25 feet. Assay sheets
show that on Nov. 20 a sample av-
eraged $40.S0, .4S gold, eight
ounces silver ana 5.o per cent
copper. A sample taken on Sun
day gave returns of $57.25, "A
gold, S.44 ounces silver and 10
per cent copper. In the assay
sheets silver was figured at 81 per
ounce and copper at 20 cents.
1t is generally felt that a re-
sumption of mining in the Merger
is of great Importance to the dis
trict. The ore showing where ma
terial is now being broken is con-
sidered excellent and in addition
the recent discovery in the Spear
head vas made only short dis
nance from the Sunflower claim
z of the Merger, which the ore will
enter if the body proves to be con-
tinuous to this claim. On the Cur
ley George claim Consolidated les
sees have been shipping flotation
ore to the Consolidated mill from
within 80 feet of the Merger line.
This ore has been assaying SIS.

Are Your Nails Marked?
French Doctor Says White
Bloichcs Are Danger Signals
to Wearer

Many people have white markn-s in
their finger nails. which arc usually a
subject for fables. Just what they
mean is not generally known. Dr.. II.
Sabouraud Of Paris, writes in the
Medical Press that marbled nails, that
is TO say, nails bearing white blotches,
have a definite significance with rela-
ton TO health.
They may indicate either OF three
things nervousness, Skin affection or
an early stage of tuberculosis. They
are frequently met with in cases OF
goitrc accompanied with skin disease.
Marblcd nails are more frequent in
women than in men, but with the lat
ter they have more significance. They
are not a grave symptom. being met
with in people who remain healthy for
years.
But they indicate departure from
full health and a probability Of some
trouble or other developing in The
course of time. and when indicating
nervousness this in itself is an un-
healthy condition.
In short. concludes DR.. Sabouraud,
the existence of marbled nails is d
danger signal, not only demonstrating
in the apparently healthy latent
weakness. but also in conditions Of
poor health an augury that serious
results may ensue. Boston Globe.

Community Christmas Tree

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga call was
issued to-day by the American For
ostry Association to every community
in the United States to take steps to
make its Community Christmas Tree
permanent. The association, which sent
2. S. Ridsdale, its secretary, to France,
to offer aid in reforcstlng the dcvasted
war area. hopes to see the community
tree, in many places become the cen
trail point OF a memorial tree planting
scheme in honor Of the sailors and sol
diers who gave their lives in the war.
The call follows:
at this Christmas season let us
munity Christmas Tree permanent. In
such tree We would have a reminder
Of the year around Christmas spirit,
and a daily lesson before US all of
what the Christmas spirit means, to
say nothing Of the elimination of the
great waste every year caused by cut
ing another trcc. In nearly every com
munitv there Will be found an IDEAL
snot For public gathering. There
should be the living, growing tree that
would come to be the gathering point,
net only It Christmas, but at other
times. Such . treo might become, in
many places, the centre of scheme for
planting memorial trees in honor of
our sailors ard soldiers. Let us look
ahead 70 next year by having your
committee consult he city or state
