GRANDMA CON. IS
NEAR SHALE
CONTACT
BE PENETRATED
SHORTLY

Satisfactory progress has been
made in the work of sinking the
deep shaft of the Grandma Conso-
lidated company and depth of ap-
proximately 700 feet has now been
attained, with all working condi-
tions favorable for continuing at
good rate of speed to the shale
contact zone. 1t is estimated that
the mineralized zone will be pene-
trated at depth of not more than
$50 feet. although it may lie deep
er than this, owing to the irregular
ity of contour of the shale's sur
face
While there is lack of absolute
assurance that pay ore will be
found at the exact point where the
shaft reaches the shale contact, the
general opinion among the best
mining authorities who are famil-
lar with the geology of this section
is that important orebodies will be
found in the immediate neighbor-
hood in the contact zone.
Lateral work will be carried for
ward on a broad scale upon reach
ing the shale's surface and will be
under the constant supervision of
Consulting Engineer ]. X. Turner,
who opened the now famous shale
contact orebodies in the Jumbo Ex-
tension.
The position of the Grandma
shaft in it's relation to the ore
channel opened in the northern
workings of the adjoining Kewanas
mine is regarded as a strong factor
in favor of the Grandma property,
as the best ore found in the Ke-
wanas is not over $50 or 800 feet
from the Grandma and the trend of
the ore-zone along the shale is di-
rectly toward the point where this
zone will be explored by the Grand
ma company.

MINES Of MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE development
Manhattan Chamber of Mines)

The radical changes that have late
Caps mill bringing same into an all
slime process, have been completed,
and as this is written the Wedge
roaster is being fired up, preparatory
to the first charge of ore going
through the roast and mill under the
new process. AS already mentioned,
the process installed is the decanta-
tion counter-current and it is con-
sidered as the only rational process
to install in an all-slime cyanid1ng
plant.
The two mills now using this pro-
cess in Nevada are the Rochester and
Packard mills, and in both most
complete success is demonstrated.
The United Eastern mill in Oatman,
Ariz., has the process installed, and
it is from that mill that much of the
data has been obtained for the White
Caps mill, as the same grade of ore
is being treated and the solutions in
the mill carry about the same
amount of gold per ton.
In Montana a number of the new
mill installations have been the de-
cantation counter-current process and
the same method is noted in new
mills in Utah and South Dakota. The
primary feature of this process is
that it is simply a matter of careful
mathematics in carrying the treat
ment of the ore through the mill.
The White Caps ores should be an
especially ideal ore for this treat

ATLANTA STATION
NOW NEARLY
FINISHED
DEEP DEVELOPMENT OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE NOW IN
PROGRESS

Work is again progressing In the
Atlanta company's deep winze from
the 175O-foot level and the station,
at a depth of 1900 feet, will soon
be completed and the east cross-cut
will then progress rapidly to cut and
explore the main vein, probably not
over $50 feet distant. The work has
been retarded by mechanical diff
culties in the hosting plant at the
main shaft, but there has been no
serious delay in carrying on the
work at depth.
One of the significant results OBJ
tanned In sinking the deep winze has
been the complete drainage of the
workings on the 1750-foot level.
proving the soundness of theories
held from the beginning by Manager
darcy, that the main and west
veins must form a junction at depth
of about 1900 feet and that connect
ing open fractures permitted the wa
ter from the main vein to flow
through the west vein to the winze.
This supports also the belief that
the enrichment in the west vein at
this depth, appearing in the form
of rather narrow seams of good ore,
has it's source in the main vein.
All these conditions, in the opinion
of expert authorities, lend support
to the conclusion that important de-
posits of pay ore must exist at the
point in the main vein where 1t
unites with the west vein and where
an intensified concentration of met
ais would be most likely. The fact
that the best ore yet found in the
Atlanta mine has been exposed on
the 1750-foot level and in shallow
wines below this, level is also ac-
cepted as evidence that a highly en-
riched zone will be found to exist
below the 1850 level, extending to
far greater depth.
In the opinion of students of the
geology of the Goldfield district, the
present work of the Atlanta will
reach the zone of secondary enrich
ment where there has been con-
centrated deposition of the metals
that have been leached from above.
This condition is said to apply more
particularly to the copper content OF
the great vein, which contains areas
that appear to have been extensively
leached, on the levels worked above.
On the 1750-foot level, soon after
the mine was opened at this depth,
a drift was extended north along the
hanging wall of the main vein for
a considerable distance, showing pay

ment, due to the fact that the oxi-
dizing preliminary roast produces a
change in the ore so that it's capacity
for fast settling reaches the rate of
one inch per minute in the settlers
which is noted as phenomenal speed,
especially when no settling agent is
added to the ore.
The series of tests that have been
conducted by the mill management
since the introduction Of the present
process was first considered has
proven that 70 per cent of the ex-
traction will be made in the tube mill
grinding in solution below the roast
er. The total extraction is expect
ed to be made in less than an hour
from the time the ore leaves the
last hearth of the roaster.
From the roaster the ore goes first
through a classifier and the sands
from this classifier Immediately are
taken to the tube mill and after re-
grinding in solution are pumped to a
thickener, then to two Devereux agi-
tators; from them the pulp goes to
four Dorr thickeners and thence into
the continuous decantation system.
There is a closed circuit complete for
the cycle of ore treatment.
Although no doubt there will
needs be some minor adjustments
and small changes made in the mill
after it starts using the new process,
as can readily be expected in the pre-
liminary work of a new process, it

BREAKING ORE
SHIPPING GRADE PRODUCT is
TAKEN FROM DEEP
LEVEL

Ore of shipping grade is being
broken in the deepest workings
opened by the Jumbo Junior COM
pany, near the most northerly
point to which it's work has extend
ed. where a winze is being sunk
from the SS0-foot level, following
an ore-shoot of good promise that
was exposed some time ago in the
main drift. A shipment Of this ore
was made recently and the returns
are said to have been highly salts
factory, averaging above $55 per
ton for product taken out in de-
velopment work.
Operations of the Jumbo Junior
company are conducted through the
Velvet shaft of the Jumbo Exten-
sion and the ore now being broken
by the former company is hoisted
through the latter shaft to the big
ore-bins which are also used by
some of the lessees working on Jum-
bo Extension ground. The work of
developing the ore-shoot has been
rather slow up to a short time ago,
when hosting equipment was in
stalled at the winze, enabling the
company to make better progress in
sinking. The ore is in the main vein
that traverses the Jumbo Extension
and Kewanas and dips east from
the Velvet claim into the Jumbo
Junior at depth.

MILL TREATING ORE AT HORN
SILVER NINE Sue
CESSFULLY

S. H. Brady, general manager for
the Silvermines Corporation operat-
ing in the Hornsilver district, visited
the property this week and upon his
return to Goldfield stated in an in
terview that the company's new mill
is operating successfully and effect
ing high extraction of metals. AS
with every new plant of this charac-
ter, some time is required to attain
che peak of efficiency and to COM
plete necessary adjustments to differ
ent units of driving and milling
but the plant is now hand
ling an average of about 120 tons
and gives assurance of a recovery Of
over 95 per cent of the metallic con-
tent of the ore.
The plant has been built and
brought to it's present high degree
of efficiency in the face Of unusual
obstacles. The first requisite in plan
ming to treat the company's ore was
the installation of water supply
system, to bring water distance of
over eight miles from the main pipe
line below Ida canyon. Pipe was
secured by Manager Brady for this
purpose, but while in transit to the
mine this pipe was commandeered
by the government and there was
consequent delay in obtaining the
necessary pipe and further delay

less costly milling processes than

Developments OF the past week
have served to demonstrate that the
possibilities for finding deposits of
high-grade ore are by no means ex-
hausted in Goldfield, even in the
more extensively prospected parts
of the district. Interest approach
ing the excitement of early days was
aroused by the discovery in the Red
Hill Florence workings Of bonanza
ore, yielding assays of several thou
sand dollars per ton in gold. while
the results of development work at
several other points in the district
have been of a most encouraging
character.
No less than a dozen properties in
the Goldfield district have been
found to contain ore of commercial
value, but in most instances the ore
is of grade just low enough to pre-
clude its marketing at profit un-
der present conditions, while smelter
embargoes have prevented the ship
ping of refractory ores, excepting of
the highest grades mined. The con-
ditions now operating to curtail pro-
duction here can be only temporary
and there is ample warrant for the
prediction that Goldfield will for
many years to come continue to pro-
duce pay ore in large volume.
Goldfield is still classed as high
grade district and has no facilities
for treating low-grade ore. Trans
portation rates to distant ore reduc-
tion centers are prohibitive for low
grade ore and render it impossible
to market product that in many
other mining districts would be
classed as high-grade. Mining men
and metallurgists familiar with con-
ditions here agree that the introduc-
tion of low-cost milling processes
will result in a large revenue return
from the treatment of low-grade
ores, of which vast tonnage can be
made available. The treatment here
of mill concentrate is one of the
first problems demanding solution,
but this has been solved in other
districts producing similar ore and,
in the opinion of expert authorities,
can be met successfully here.
GOldfield Consolidated
Operations of the Goldfisld Con-
solidated Mines company continue
on a normal bssis, with rge ton
mage of ore and mill failing going

ore of excellent average grade.
Deep levels are being extended in

southerly point at which the COM
pany has operated at depth, and re-
ports indicate that this territory

production of copper-bearing ore,

ports from the Aurora mine have
been highly encouraging and IL is

KEWANAS IS IN
BEST OF SHAPE
ORE ZONE IN NORTH
WILL BE EN-
PLORED

Development work planned by the
management of the recognized Ke-
wanas company and which will
shortly be in full swing will be the
most important and the most likely
to produce results of value to the
company that has yet been under
taken in this territory. Work in
the northern part of the property
was discontinued for a time last
year, when the air conditions served
to greatly hamper progress, and
Manager Darcy moved his work
ing force to the southern section,
where a long cross-cut was driven
to the southeast, diagonally through
drift was extended to make air con-
nection with the workings of the
adjoining Jumbo Junior, at a depth
of $40 feet.
Work is now to be resumed in
the northern area, which is gener-
ally considered to have made the
best showing of ore of any non
producing ground in the district.
In addition to considerable quanti-
ties of good milling-grade ore, the
northern ground was shown to con-
tain ore of shipping grade at a
number of points, and this territory
will now be explored in thorough
manner.

Intense interest has been arous-
ed by the discovery of ore of bonan-
"a grade in new workings of the
Red Hill Florence company, result
ing in veritable boom-day scram-
BILE for the stock, which has multi
piled in price within the past "a
hours. The orebody has not yet
been opened to sufficient extent
to determine the presence of a
large tonnage, but the average
value of the ore now in sight
marks the discovery as one of the
most sensational made in the Gold
field district in recent years.
High-grade ore was first exposed
short time ago in extending a
drift north from raise, about
100 feet above the main 500-foot
level. Following this discovery a
winze was started on the ore by
Manager ]. B. Kendall and yester-
day this winze was showing five
feet of high-grade shipping ore, in
cluding from Is to IS inches that
assayed $8404 per ton. The re-
mainder of the orebody averaged
$5S per ton.
Today, after removing muck
from the latest round of shots, the
high-grade seam was shown to be
several inches wider and the entire
vein holding its value and volume.

RED HILL FLORENCE CUTS
BONANZA ORE-SHOOT
ON 400 LEVEL

A party of Tonopah mining men in
spected the new workings today, in
cluding Zeb Kendall, Walter c.
Lamb and ]. C. Robertson, with
several others, while a number of
local men have seen the new strike
and all pronounce 1t one of great
value. The fact that 1t is virgin
territory, with possibilities for a
large area of stopping backs, lends
additional interest to the find. Ore
is now being placed in bins for
shipment and the winze will be con-
tinued as rapidly as possible.
Work has been progressing in
this direction for some time past,
with the object of seeking the ex-
tension in Red Hill Florence terri
tory of some of the bonanza ore
shoots that were mined by the early
day bonanza leases on the adjoining
Florence. 1t Is known that some of
the highly productive slopes of the
old leases were worked flush up to
the boundary line separating the two
properties, and the officers of the
Red Hill Florence company have
been convinced from the first that
some of the ore in this rich ground
must extend into their territory. The
ground adjoining this part of the

in the winze has served to drain all
the workings above, and the 1900
foot level, where there has always
been a heavy flow of water, is now
practically dry, proving that the
main and west veins form junction
and that the fracturing of both per-
mits the water from the main vein
to flow into the winze through the
west vein. The winze station is in
the shale and apparently the east
cross-cut must penetrate the main
vein at a distance of about $50 feet
and at the point where there Is the
great probability of finding import
ant orebodies.

Storage capacity for mine water has
been provided by sinking the sump
to greater depth and extending
drift for a reservoir. Work contin-
OF in h
part of the property, on the $40
foot level, and will be taken up
shortly in the north, where Manager
Darcy will endeavor first to solve
the effect OF a step that cuts off the
course of the main orebody, at the
point where high-grade ore was ex-
posed.
Jumbo Extension
Lessees operating on the local
property of the Jumbo Extension
company continue shipping ore of
excellent grade and some of the
lease operators have been making
good profits and paying to the com
pany substantial sums in the form
of royalties. The deep winze that
is being sunk from the 1017-foot
level, far within the shale, has been
showing seams of good ore, proving
that some degree of enrichment ex-
tends to great depth and is not cut
off by the shale. The Copper Noun
tain property has been shipping ore
ranging in content from IA to nearly
19 per cent copper and has large
bodies of lower grade copper ore.
Silver Pick Cons.
Plans are now being considered
by the directors of the Silver Pick
company for sinking the main shaft
now down 100 feet, another 800
or 400 feet, in the belief that pay
ore will be found in quantity at
that depth. Development work
continues on the 250-foot level,
where large quartz zone is being
explored and some good assays are
obtained.

According 70 the stories told by;
